Chapter 21: Anger, Chu Li's irritability
Seeing that Huo Zhirou's complexion had changed, Chu Li knew that she had loosened a little, and then said: "Rou'er, you are the young lady of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, you have known books and etiquette since you were a child, dignified and elegant, if you ruin your reputation because of a moment of carelessness, it's a pity, we are all for your good, do you understand?" ”
The words were serious. Huo Zhirou was already remorseful because of fear, but now she agrees with Chu Li's words even more.
"Brother Li, Rou'er understands." Huo Zhirou lowered her head slightly, and her voice was soft and thin.
What Zhou had said to her came to her in her mind, and she felt more and more that she had indeed done something wrong this time, and she should not have attacked Huo Changjin in the royal hunting ground. If you want to kill Huo Changjin, there will be opportunities in the future.
Huo Zhirou bit the corner of her lip and unconsciously defended herself, "Brother Li, Rou'er didn't think about it so much, don't you hate Rou'er because of this, okay?" Rou'er, Rou'er didn't mean it......"
And Chu Li just gently squeezed her little hand, and her voice was as gentle as ever, "Rou'er, Brother Li understands your thoughts, you are so cute, how can Brother Li blame you?" ”
He paused, and then said, "It's not early, Brother Li should go back." ”
Huo Zhirou nodded obediently, thinking in her heart that Brother Li was still so gentle, as good as if he didn't hate her.
Huo Zhirou didn't know that the moment Chu Li just turned around, the gentle expression on his face immediately disappeared without a trace......
When Chu Li returned to his tent, his face was full of gloom, he picked up the things at hand and threw them down, scolding in his mouth: "It will cause trouble for this prince!" ”
It is self-evident who is scolding.
"Who made His Highness angry?" A coquettish woman's voice came, and the palace maid Fu Yulian walked over lightly.
Fuyu had a soft smile on her face, but when she saw Chu Li's gloomy face, she immediately put away her smile and said with a straight face: "The slave is willing to teach this person a lesson for His Highness, I just ask Your Highness not to be angry, anger is easy to hurt your body, Your Highness." ”
Fuyu is the big palace maid next to Chu Li, who has served Chu Li for many years, and she takes care of Chu Li's food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays, if it is not an exaggeration to say that she gets along day and night. After years of companionship, Chu Li also trusts her.
Even after serving for many years, Fuyu's joy and anger towards Chu Li are clear, she knows best what kind of words she will say when she is, and there are only a few words at the moment, which makes Chu Li's anger calm down a little.
Chu Li suppressed the fire and said in a deep voice: "You don't have the ability to teach her a lesson." ”
The dignified lady of the Jingbei Hou Mansion has an uncle who is a second-class master, how can it be that Fuyu, a little palace maid, can get it!
Fuyu quickly recalled in her mind who was most likely to be the person who touched Chu Li's moldy head, and at the same time bowed down to offer the tea cup, and said: "The slave maid has a low status, but the slave maid is willing to do anything for His Highness, as long as it is for His Highness, the slave and maid can do anything." ”
These words fell on Chu Li's ears, like a cool breeze suddenly coming in the hot summer, which made people's intuition extremely pleasant and comfortable.
He took the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of the tea lingered between his mouth, adding a sense of comfort.
"You said you would do anything for this prince, but the truth?" Chu Li put down the teacup and looked at Fuyu, his eyes slightly dark.
This sounds good, but do you know if it's true or not?
Fuyu's voice was delicate but solemn, "Although the slave and maid are soft-spoken, even if they want the slave and maid to die for the sake of His Highness, the slave and maid will not give up." ”
When she speaks, her eyes are shining, as if there is a starlight, giving people a sense of sincerity without action.
Chu Li immediately hooked his lips and smiled, "Okay!" Fuyu, it's rare that you are so loyal to this prince, and now that this prince is encountering a difficult matter, if you can help this prince solve it, this prince will immediately give you a name. ”
Fuyu is not only the big palace maid beside Chu Li, but also has already gone to his bed. It's just that Chu Li has always been clean and self-conscious, and the concubine has not passed through the door and does not accept concubines, so Fuyu can only be a palace maid.
The concubines of the palace maid and the prince have very different identities. If Chu Liken gave her the title of concubine, it would be a great thing for Fuyu.
Fuyu was immediately overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise high. She has always looked forward to being Chu Li's woman in a righteous and bright way, and she has thought of many ways, but no matter how she tries to please Chu Li in a low and small way, Chu Li just refuses to let go, she is about to dispel this idea, but she doesn't want to have an unexpected joy today, so that she has the opportunity to get what she wants.
"Thank you, Your Highness, slave." Fuyu hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank her.
In addition to being happy, Fuyu did not forget that there was a premise for all this, "I don't know what His Highness commands, the slave will do her best to share His Highness's worries." ”
In fact, before Chu Li came back, Fuyu had already heard some rumors, she was a clever person, and she had already vaguely guessed in her heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chu Zheng was attacked, this matter was secretly arranged by Chu Li, and it was originally the idea of killing two birds with one stone, if Chu Zheng died under the claws of the black bear, the position of the prince would be vacant; If Chu Zheng comes back safely, then the fifth prince Chu Heng will be the first object of suspicion, Chu Zheng and Chu Heng will have a quarrel, the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, after this incident, the contradiction between the two will be intensified, which is a good opportunity for Chu Li to profit.
However, what Chu Li planned did not seem to be going well, Fuyu heard that the crown prince Chu Zheng reported the attack to the palace, but he did not say half a word about Chu Heng's no, but said that there were many people who wanted to harm him, and some people carefully designed it, even if Chu Heng took care of the hunting ground well, it would inevitably be impossible to prevent it.
I thought I could see the swords and swords between the two, but I didn't want to be quiet at the end.
Seeing that Chu Li's face was so ugly when he came back, Fuyu guessed that it might have something to do with it.
Sure enough, Chu Li told the matter one by one, sighed again, and said: "This prince has worked hard to plan, but he doesn't want to ruin this prince's entire plan because of Huo Zhirou's willfulness. ”
"Rou'er is the cousin of this prince, behind her are the Huo family and the Zhou family, even if this prince is angry, he can't lie at her, but wants to coax her ......"
The narrow eyes were half-narrowed, Chu Li's face was very ugly, what he didn't like the most was the willful nonsense, the person who gave him trouble and trouble, but because of Huo Zhirou's family background, he couldn't get angry, he could only endure it.
Fuyu frowned slightly, she never thought that the reason for the failure of Chu Li's plan turned out to be this. Prince Chu Zheng not only did not accuse Chu Heng, but defended him in disguise, and even vaguely guided something. Chu Heng is not a fool, he will inevitably lead to trouble, the attack on Chu Zheng and Huo Changjin's rolling down the hillside are what happened on the front and back feet, but whenever Chu Heng sets his eyes on Chu Li, Chu Li will not be able to escape the life of being a scapegoat.
"Your Highness, if you don't want to be suspected, you have to convince people that you don't have much contact with the Jingbei Marquis Mansion." Fuyu quickly sorted out the whole thing and found the crux of the matter.
If Chu Li and the Huo family brothers and sisters did not have any contact, then this matter naturally had nothing to do with him.
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Li's lips hooked, "Fuyu, you are really smart, this prince is not wrong about you." ”
"The Jingbei Hou Mansion is the mother family of this prince, and it is too difficult to get rid of the relationship. So, this prince needs you ......"
