The moment she opened her eyes, Jiang Li met Chu Huaizhi's phoenix eyes that were as deep as a cold pond.

At this moment, her whole body was held in Chu Huaizhi's strong and powerful arms, and she stopped sinking.

The wind was howling outside, causing the grass and branches to sway left and right, but the temperature inside the carriage rose sharply, and the atmosphere inside the carriage became ambiguous for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I had sand in my eyes and didn't see the rocks in front of me clearly. I disturbed your Majesty and your Majesty. I hope your Majesty and your Majesty will forgive me!"

The driver's panicked voice came from outside the carriage, instantly interrupting the ambiguity in the carriage.

"No problem, keep going."

Jiang Li pretended to be calm and said this, and the driver's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.

The carriage continued to move slowly forward, and Jiang Li's gaze returned to Chu Huaizhi's face.

Now that the ambiguity was interrupted, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Chu Huaizhi's face.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

After saying that, he was about to let go of Jiang Li, but at this time Jiang Li raised her hands and hugged his neck.

Under Chu Huaizhi's increasingly scorching gaze, Jiang Li said, "Uncle, please help me put me on the bench. My feet are numb."

Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips and finally put Jiang Li on the cushion.

"The car is bumpy, so it's more stable on the soft cushion."

Chu Huaizhi explained and then went back to his seat to read.

After all this, Jiang Li lost her sleepiness. She turned her head to look at Chu Huaizhi, her bright eyes moved, and then she stood up from the cushion.

"I'm not sleepy anymore. What is your uncle looking at?"

As she spoke, she sat down next to Chu Huaizhi and looked at the book in his hand.

Okay, another military book.

"Wouldn't it be boring for the emperor's uncle to deal with these military books all day long?"

The moment Jiang Li saw the military book, she instantly lost interest. She picked up the notebook that Nanny Zhou had specially prepared for her to relieve boredom, and sat side by side with Chu Huaizhi to read it.

Jiang Li was reading the storybook with great interest, but Chu Huaizhi beside her couldn't calm down for a long time.

What she didn't know was that the military book in Chu Huaizhi's hand had remained on this page for a long time, and he had never turned the page since he picked it up.

Listening to the sound of pages turning beside him, Chu Huaizhi glanced at Jiang Li beside him, and seeing that she was looking down at the book seriously, he quietly turned his head away.

At this time, Jiang Li was lowering her eyes, her long eyelashes were drawn downwards, leaving a light shadow under her eyes.

Because Jiang Li was facing sideways towards him at this time, Chu Huaizhi could not see her expression clearly. He could only see that her nose was straight and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

In the flickering candlelight, Jiang Li's skin was as white as jade and as bright as fire, so beautiful that it was beyond description.

Chu Huaizhi's fingers holding the military book tightened slightly. As she blinked, Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, which made Chu Huaizhi's heart itch.

Boom——

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded, and Jiang Li subconsciously grabbed Chu Huaizhi's arm and leaned towards him.

Chu Huaizhi's eyes flickered slightly. In order to prevent Jiang Li from noticing his abnormality at this moment, he quietly used his inner strength to extinguish the candlelight in the car.

The car was suddenly plunged into darkness, and several thunders sounded one after another. Jiang Li's grip on Chu Huaizhi's arm became tighter and tighter, and finally she just hugged his arm.

"Uncle, I am afraid of thunder."

Jiang Li made up an excuse.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chu Huaizhi had always been more patient with Jiang Li than with others. Now that he knew his feelings clearly, he naturally didn't mind Jiang Li's touch.

The interior of the carriage fell into darkness, and neither of them asked the palace servants to come in and light the lamps.

"Xiaoduo, what is Chu Huaizhi's current favorability value?"

Jiang Li held Chu Huaizhi's arm and asked Xiaoduo quietly.

[Host, it's already 90 percent! ]

Xiaoduo's excited voice came.

Jiang Li was delighted and was about to speak——

[No, no, it's still dropping! Seventy-five percent, seventy percent... Host, it's dropped to sixty percent now...]

Jiang Li was shocked: "It dropped so much in an instant? What about now? Has it gone back up?"

Xiaoduo sighed: [I regret to tell the host that there is no such thing.]

Jiang Li: "...A man's heart is like a needle in the sea!"

She didn't even have time to get excited, but her favorability value dropped so much in the blink of an eye!

What does it mean to go back to the time before liberation?

That's called!!

However, Jiang Li guessed the reason after a little thought.

Since Chu Huaizhi's favorability towards her had reached 90, he must have been attracted to her, right?

Falling down suddenly now is just a way of restraining myself.

She wanted to see how long this dog man could restrain himself! Thinking of this, Jiang Li took advantage of the situation and decided to add some ingredients to Chu Huaizhi.

Jiang Li listened quietly to the noise outside. At this time, the thunder had gradually dissipated.

Adhering to the attitude that the end of science is metaphysics, Jiang Li began to practice in her mind.

Thunder and lightning are coming, please release thunder and lightning quickly, as ordered by the Lord of Thunder and the Lord of Lightning!

Boom! ! With a loud bang, a flash of dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a bolt of thunder that struck across the sky!

"ah--"

Jiang Li screamed with the thunder, and then hugged Chu Huaizhi's waist tightly.

Dong ding dong, thank you Lei Gong and Dian Mu for your kindness, Amen! After the thunder fell, the outside was completely calm, even the strong wind stopped, and peace returned.

Chu Huaizhi's body tensed up and he looked down at the little head pressed against his chest.

"It's all right."

The implication was to let Jiang Li let go.

Jiang Li gathered her arms again and hugged Chu Huaizhi's waist tightly: "The weather is uncertain, I'm afraid."

Chu Huaizhi said nothing more.

Dusk was approaching and there was no light in the car, so the light was very dim.

Jiang Li hugged Chu Huaizhi's waist tightly, with her little face pressed against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

In the darkness of night, inside the carriage, the two people hugged each other tightly, raised the corners of their mouths slightly where each other could not see, and joy flashed in their eyes.

The carriage soon arrived at Foan Temple, where the abbot, Master Jingkong, had already arranged accommodation for them.

As it was getting late, Jiang Li and Chu Huaizhi greeted Master Jingkong and returned to their respective meditation rooms.

A dreamless night.

The next morning, Jiang Li came to the Buddhist temple and followed Master Jingkong and the disciples of Foan Temple to chant sutras and pray for the people of Dayan.

Chu Huaizhi didn't know where he had gone. When Jiang Li came to the Buddhist hall just now, he passed by his door and called out twice, but no one answered.

Jiang Li sat in front of the Buddha statue, Master Jingkong sat on the cushion on her right, and the cushion on her left was empty, obviously prepared for Chu Huaizhi.

Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the cushion for two full hours, and her buttocks became numb before she finally finished reciting the blessing sutra.

During this period, Chu Huaizhi never showed up.

"Your Majesty has just arrived at the Fo'an Temple. I will accompany Your Majesty to walk around the temple."

Master Jingkong walked up to Jiang Li with a kind look in his eyes and made a gesture of invitation to her.

"Master, you are welcome. I can just walk around by myself. Master, go and have a rest."

Jiang Li declined Master Jingkong's kindness and wanted him to go back and have a rest.

Her butt was numb after sitting for two hours, let alone Master Jingkong who was already old.

"In that case, please do as you wish, Your Majesty."
