The breeze lifted a corner of the sedan chair curtain, blowing away Chu Huaizhi's words.

Jiang Li's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Chu Huaizhi in disbelief.

She heard it.

But she wanted to hear it again.

"What did the emperor's uncle say? I didn't hear it clearly."

Jiang Li sat up from the cushion, put her ear closer to Chu Huaizhi, and pretended not to hear clearly.

But the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up slightly.

This arc happened to be captured by Chu Huaizhi.

Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips, for a moment confused about Jiang Li's thoughts.

His voice just now was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for Jiang Li to hear clearly.

But now she pretended not to hear, and there was no displeasure or alienation on her face.

Chu Huaizhi knew that it was a bit presumptuous for him to suddenly express his feelings to Jiang Li, but he has never been a timid person, whether in feelings or other aspects.

If he likes someone, he means he likes them. Even if the other person is a man, he will express his feelings and strive for opportunities for himself without any regrets.

Even if the chance is slim.

Even though I knew Jiang Li already had a lover.

If he becomes a burden to the little emperor, he will be out of his sight in the future.

Chu Huaizhi had already made plans to eliminate all hidden dangers for Jiang Li, and then garrison at the border and never return to the imperial city.

He took the risk in this move.

Thinking of this, Chu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at the pink earlobe in front of him. He repeated what he had just said in a charming voice.

"Jiang Li, I like you."

There is no emperor or regent here, only Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li.

After saying that, Chu Huaizhi tightened his palm slightly under his sleeve, and the hand that was holding Jiang Li tightened for a moment and then quickly loosened it, for fear of hurting her.

Just when Chu Huaizhi was about to let go of Jiang Li's hand, the latter grabbed him back.

"you……"

A smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Huaizhi with a coquettish look.

"So the uncle was not happy with me and Mingzhu being too close a few days ago. Is he really jealous?"

Looking at the smile between the girl's eyebrows, Chu Huaizhi was a little absent-minded for a moment, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed as the corners of her eyes slightly raised.

"Yes, I'm jealous."

Chu Huaizhi nodded and admitted it directly.

"You and I are different in status. I know it's a bit presumptuous to say this to you today. You don't have to feel any psychological burden."

"If you really like Princess Dongli, you can take her into your harem. Once the imperial city is completely peaceful, I will ask for permission to stay away from the imperial city and will never appear in front of you again to cause you any trouble."

After admitting his feelings, Chu Huaizhi changed the subject and told Jiang Li about his long-awaited plan.

Jiang Li put her index finger on Chu Huaizhi's thin lips and pretended to be slightly angry: "Uncle Huang doesn't trust me. I clearly said that Mingzhu and I are just friends."

"I didn't, I just..."

"Hush."

Jiang Li hissed and looked at Chu Huaizhi with a distant look in her eyes.

"Since the uncle has told me his feelings, in exchange, I will tell him a secret."

Chu Huaizhi looked at Jiang Li curiously: "What?"

Jiang Li was about to speak when she suddenly felt a warm current coming from under her body, and her face suddenly changed! Chu Huaizhi had a keen sense of smell and immediately smelled the faint smell of blood.

"Are you hurt? Where?"

His face changed, and he was about to check the wound on Jiang Li's body.

Jiang Li blushed and quickly reached out to stop him: "I, I'm fine."

Chu Huaizhi's face was solemn, as if to say: Do you think this king will believe it? Helplessly, Jiang Li had to hook his neck, let his ear lean towards her, and whispered something in his ear.

"Uncle, I'm not injured. I just... had my period."
