"Your Majesty, please sleep peacefully. I will be on guard here tonight."

Chu Huaizhi tucked the quilt under Jiang Li's body, then took off his black boots and lay down on the bed with his clothes on.

His eyes were calm, his hands folded behind his head, and he was half an arm's length away from Jiang Li.

After feeling Chu Huaizhi lying down behind her, Jiang Li showed a triumphant smile.

"Is the Emperor's uncle really not leaving?"

Jiang Li said in a muffled voice.

"Um."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li turned around and looked at Chu Huaizhi, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

"The emperor's uncle is so nice."

Jiang Li, who was certain that Chu Huaizhi would not open his eyes, could not help but curl the corners of her mouth as she spoke.

She stared straight at Chu Huaizhi's unbelievably evil face, examining every feature of his face.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too blazing, Chu Huaizhi could feel it clearly even with his eyes closed.

He pulled an arm out from under the back of his head and waved his hand to extinguish the candles in the hall. The originally brightly lit inner hall suddenly fell into darkness.

"Go to sleep."

Chu Huaizhi's deep and magnetic voice rang out in the darkness.

"oh."

Jiang Li curled her lips. "Tsk, I'm not allowed to watch it. After I get the Regent under my control, I'll watch it every day! I'll watch it while standing, sitting, lying down, and lying on my stomach. I'll see his whole body naked! Ahem, what nonsense is she talking about that can't be broadcasted...

The inner hall fell into darkness. Jiang Li quietly moved towards Chu Huaizhi in the dark, closing the half-arm's distance between them.

Chu Huaizhi naturally felt her movement, but he was too lazy to say anything.

Finally, Jiang Li got what she wanted and got hold of Chu Huaizhi's wide sleeves, tightly grasping one corner of it in her palm.

That way she would be awakened when he left in the middle of the night.

Jiang Li thought so, yawned and closed her eyes.

People really can't sleep for too long, otherwise they will feel more sleepy the more they sleep.

Jiang Li had clearly slept the entire afternoon, but now she felt sleepy again.

Soon, he could hear Jiang Li's steady breathing. Seeing that she was no longer troubled by nightmares, Chu Huaizhi's tense thoughts gradually relaxed.

Nanny Zhou, Doctor Xu and others were guarding outside the hall. They watched the candles in the inner hall go out and Jiang Li's heart-wrenching wails disappear.

Several people looked at each other, could it be that the blood parasite was afraid of the dark? ? As soon as this thought came up, Nanny Zhou, Eunuch Zhu and others all looked at Doctor Xu. Among them, only Doctor Xu knew about blood parasites.

When several eyes fell on him, Doctor Xu himself was also confused. He shrugged under the gaze of everyone.

I don't know either! Anyway, fortunately, His Majesty has calmed down and is out of danger.

call--

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the tension on their faces gradually dissipating.

Peace had returned to the Yangxin Palace, but the other side was not so lucky.

Jiang Li did not suffer from the torture of the blood parasite. Instead, all the torture was directed back at the person who put the parasite in her body.

"ah!"

"Get out of here, all of you, get out of here!"

The man lay on the bed, waving his hands and screaming miserably.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wake up! Please wake up, Your Highness!"

The palace maids stood by the bed, calling the man on the bed with worried looks on their faces.

"Get out of here, all of you, get out of here. I am the Third Prince of this dynasty, and the future Emperor of Great Yan. If you dare to attack me, are you tired of living?!"

The man kept roaring and revealed his identity.

The one who went to great lengths to place someone in the palace to poison Jiang Li with blood poison was none other than the third prince Jiang Xiao.

The last time Jiang Li was assassinated in the palace was also the work of the third prince.

After Chu Huaizhi's people found out that the mastermind was the third prince, they dismissed the two blue-clad guards who sneaked into the palace and attacked Jiang Li.

The Green Guards were the Third Prince's right-hand men and women. He had spent most of his efforts to cultivate them, but they were wiped out overnight by the people sent by Chu Huaizhi.

The third prince bore even more hatred towards Jiang Li and Chu Huaizhi for this, so he decided to go all out and use the blood parasite to get rid of Jiang Li and Chu Huaizhi in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that he took great pains to place the maid in the palace, but in the end he didn't expect that this Jiang Li was not the same Jiang Li. With the system, the small blood Gu was no match for Jiang Li.

Now he is reaping the fruits of his own actions. He deserves it! "No, no!"

"ah--"

"Legs, my legs!"

The screams in the hall were one after another, and the palace servants got goose bumps after hearing them.

After hearing the Third Prince's wailing, the people in the harem suddenly remembered the horrific scene when the Third Prince's legs were crippled that year! "Ugh!"

Thinking of that cruel and disgusting scene from that year, the palace servants couldn't help but vomit.

When the third prince was murdered, his legs were crippled in an extremely cruel way. It was ten days later when the guards found him.

At that time, the Third Prince was hanging on by a thread. Due to the hot weather, his wound had already become inflamed and festered. Flies and maggots were swarming in the festering wound. The palace servants almost vomited bile when they saw it!

Many years had passed since the incident, and that disgusting and horrifying scene had long since faded from everyone's mind. But now the Third Prince was haunted by a nightmare and relive the incident in his dream. When the palace servants heard his mumbling in his sleep, they remembered the scene again and vomited non-stop!

The palace servants could hear the sound of vomiting one after another, and they had no time to pay attention to the third prince who was suffering from a nightmare in bed.

The third prince, who reaped the fruits of his own actions, could only relive the scene he least wanted to recall over and over again in his dreams.

Both the body and the mind were tortured.

——

Jiang Li guessed wrong.

Chu Huaizhi did not leave quietly in the middle of the night.

He promised Jiang Li that he would stay here with her for one night and would never go back on his word.

Chu Huaizhi slept very lightly that night and would wake up at the slightest movement.

Fortunately, Jiang Li just had a restless sleep and liked the body of a cricket pupa, and was not troubled by the nightmare again.

"Mother, you finally came to see me."

Jiang Li's voice suddenly came from the side, and Chu Huaizhi suddenly opened his eyes after hearing it.

Just as he turned his head, Jiang Li suddenly moved towards him in a cricket-like manner, and finally snuggled into his arms, hugging his waist with both hands.

Chu Huaizhi's body tensed up instantly. He raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Li's wrist on her waist, trying to take it away.

"Don't move, mother, don't move. Let me hold you for a while, just for a while."

Jiang Li grumbled unhappily, and increased the strength of her hands and feet on Chu Huaizhi, tightly wrapping around him to prevent him from moving.

After the human pillow died down, Jiang Li's brows gradually relaxed. She rubbed her face against Chu Huaizhi's chest, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Chu Huaizhi didn't dare to move anymore.

At this time, his face turned red and his whole body was extremely stiff.

It wasn't that Jiang Li hugged him too tightly and made him breathless, but Jiang Li's curled legs pressed right on him...
