Chapter 136:

When the news of Chu Li's injury came, he was slightly shocked, and hurriedly asked the principal mother to inquire about the situation, only to learn that the Shangyuan Festival celebrates with the people, which is a tradition in the Chu Kingdom, but in previous years, the king of Chu set up a banquet in the South City Tower, and this year because the South City Tower was repaired and widened, it has not yet been completed, and the Holy Driver decided to hold a banquet in the North City Tower.

For this reason, the lantern exhibition was also deliberately moved from the south of the city to the north of the city, and was set up on Yuhua Street at the foot of the North City Tower.

It was precisely because of the first time that the lantern exhibition was held in the north of the city that the officials in charge did not take care of the guards, causing some people to take advantage of the chaos to set fire and disturb the holy car. The crown prince Chuli was under the city at the time, and was about to take a chariot back to the palace, but when he saw this, he did not hesitate to risk his life to fight with the rebels in close quarters, and was accidentally stabbed in the right hand.

With just a few sentences of explanation, Wei Nong could almost imagine the chaotic scene at that time. The lantern exhibition caught fire, and Chu Li was in danger...... And what made her feel most guilty was that at the time of the incident, it was very close to the time when she made an appointment with Chu Li, and Chu Li should have happened to run into the chaotic party in order to go back to the palace to pick her up.

With such an analysis, Wei Nong couldn't care about any etiquette, and forced his sick body to go to Yuntai Palace to visit Chu Li. Unexpectedly, the first day of the first year said that there were many more guards outside the Yuxiu Palace, and openly said, "Princess Qingcheng is sick, and the king ordered the princess to recuperate in peace."

House arrest in disguise! This is the first reaction of the slightly thick. But after all, she was young and didn't know how to fight in the court, and she naively thought that the king of Chu was angry with her because Chu Li was injured, or because she was annoyed that she had a private appointment with Chu Li, so he grounded her in Yuxiu Palace.

It wasn't until four or five days later, when the principal began to treat her coldly, that she realized that the situation was serious, but she still couldn't figure out why. She tried her best to inquire about Chu Li's injuries every day, but the main mother's tone was too strict, and she had no way of knowing.

After staying up so hard until the end of the first month, Yuntai Palace finally sent someone to spread the word, saying that the crown prince Chu Li wanted to see Wei Nong, and ordered the removal of the guards of Yuxiu Palace. It was as if he had been amnestied, and he didn't care about investigating the inside story for a long time, so he was only worried about Chu Li, and hurried to Yuntai Palace.

The first time I entered Chu Li's dormitory, Wei Nong was somewhat surprised, and secretly looked around, only to find that the furnishings here were simple and exquisite, not as luxurious as imagined, but the windows were all inlaid with jade, and it could be faintly seen that it was worth a lot.

The noon light shines through the jade window, reflecting the clear skylight, and floating on the man of the Zhilan jade tree, floating a thin misty color. Chu Li was dressed in a single dress, sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals of Rosewood, and there was an empty medicine bowl in front of him, so it was conceivable that the injury had not healed.

A faint gaze fell on his right hand, which was firmly wrapped in layers of gauze, and the turquoise medicinal juice seeped out, as if there was a thrilling cruelty.

Without waiting for Wei Nong to ask about the injury, Chu Li had already taken the lead in sighing: "These days, I have wronged the princess......"

Wei Nong shook his head: "I have nothing to be wronged about, and I am not short of food and clothing." Your Highness, you ......."

Before she finished speaking, she already showed a look of worry, and guilt was added to her worry, and asked with concern, "...... your injury?"

"Out of the way." Although Chu Li was a little weak, he was still in good spirits, and replied: "I'm fine, but my right hand will be more difficult in the future." ”

He said it lightly, but he understood the implication, what is "right hand strain"? She couldn't help but burst into tears, and blamed herself: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for picking me up to see the lantern show...... You won't be ...... either"

"It's none of your business." Chu Li's voice comforted: "It's just an accident, don't blame yourself." ”

Weinong still shook her head and burst into tears.

Chu Li sighed, as if he remembered something, gradually frowned, and asked, "On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, you suddenly missed the appointment, what is going on?" ”

"I don't know," replied Wei Nong, truthfully, "that day soon after you left, I began to have cramps in my abdomen, and there was no other illness. Originally, it was fine, but it's a pity...... The imperial doctor on duty that day was drunk and mistaken and used the wrong medicine, which delayed the diagnosis and treatment, causing me to miss the appointment. ”

At this point, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears: "I sent a guard to explain to you, didn't he mention the reason to you?" ”

"Guards?" Chu Li was silent for a moment: "I didn't see any guards. ”

"What?" Wei Nong was surprised.

Chu Li seemed to realize something, his expression became more and more solemn, and he looked at her and replied seriously: "I really didn't see your guards, if I knew that you couldn't go to the appointment, I wouldn't leave the city tower alone." ”

Hearing this, Wei Nong was shocked. She always thought that Chu Li met the guards who passed the word halfway, and she would encounter an accident if she failed to return to Beicheng Tower in time; Or maybe he was worried about his condition and wanted to go back to the palace to visit......

"What about the guard?" Chu Li immediately asked the key.

Wei Nong was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "I caught up with my abdominal pain that day, and then I heard that you had an accident at the lantern show...... I didn't have time to care about the guard. I've been ...... for the past few days. was confined in Yuxiu Palace, and he never saw him again. ”

Chu Li listened quietly, and Yingting's eyebrows became more and more frowned.

Wei Nong thought he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "The first year of junior high school can testify for me!" I sent her to deliver the word! Why don't I ask her? ”

Hearing this, Chu Li's gaze suddenly became unfathomable, and he said in a low voice: "She is a person from Yan Palace......

The people of the Yan Palace...... Some kind of speculation flashed in Weimin's mind, and she was a little unclear, half dazed and half apprehensive: "What do you say...... What do you mean? ”

Chu Li silently didn't answer, and asked for a long time: "Mama An may testify for you?" ”

Mama An is the chief of Yuxiu Palace, Mama An Guiru. Wei Nong tried his best to recall the scene at that time, but he couldn't remember these details anymore, so he had to reply helplessly: "I don't know, I really had unbearable abdominal pain at that time, and I can't remember anything." Or, do you ask Xuan'an directly? ”

Chu Li was noncommittal about this, and only asked: "You are forbidden enough to come, how does Mama An treat you?" ”

Wei Min was a little gloomy, pursed his lips and didn't answer.

"Then there is no need to ask again, it seems that she is suspicious too." Chu Li's words were condensed.

"Suspect what?" Wei Nong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his eyes widened: "Does she suspect that I knew in advance?" Suspect me of faking abdominal pain? An excuse not to go to the appointment? ”

This question was changed to Chu Li's non-answer.

He stood up slightly, and said angrily: "No, I have to ask her clearly!" She saw my abdominal pain that night, why should she doubt me! ”

"Sit down!" Chu Li immediately pressed her with his left hand: "When you have abdominal pain, can you have other symptoms?" What did the imperial doctor say at the time? ”

Wei Min still remembered this incident, so he replied truthfully: "No, it's just a colic in the abdomen." At that time, the two imperial doctors were also drunk and couldn't say anything. ”

"That's it. If you vomit, it's more realistic. If you only have abdominal pain and no other symptoms, don't blame Mama An for suspecting you of pretending. Chu Li paused for a moment and solemnly explained: "But she is just suspicious, and there is no real evidence, once you go to question in person and expose this matter, many things will be irreparable." ”

Wei Nong was puzzled by what he said: "What about you?" Your Highness, do you doubt me too? ”

"Nope." Chu Li made a categorical judgment: "You should have been taken advantage of." ”

"By whom?" Wei Nong immediately asked.

Chu Li refused to answer anymore, and only said: "I won't speculate, let alone say anything unconfirmed." This will only add to your burden. ”

Wei Nong still seemed to understand, she only felt that there was a layer of fog in front of her, very thin and light, but she couldn't get away or wave away, this feeling was very bad.

"Will the king dispose of me?" She remembered the imminent matter.

"No, it won't." Chu Li blurted out.

This sentence finally gave her a reassurance, and she couldn't help but secretly make up her mind: "I will definitely get something out!" The guard, and my abdominal pain......"

"No need, everything that should be checked has been checked." Chu Li waved his hand: "That group of chaotic parties appeared like they appeared out of thin air, leaving no traces. Nor did they intend to take my life...... The whole thing is more like disturbing people's hearts. ”

"What then? What about the guard? I'm going to get him for questioning! Wei Nong stood up again, insisting on pursuing it.

"Can you still find him?" Chu Li unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on her: "In the past half a month, people have been panicking, he has either been killed, or he has already fled." ”

The slightly thick heart was cold for a moment, and he looked at Chu Li, not knowing how to answer. She was unwilling, she was angry, and she was even more confused and uneasy.

Chu Li's clear gaze fell on her face, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back to Yan Kingdom?" ”

"What?" Wei Nong didn't react.

"If you're worried about your situation, I can send someone to send you back immediately." Chu Li paused word by word and said seriously.

Compared with all the previous words, this sentence made Wei Chong's heart cold the most, and it also made her the most frightened. She looked at Chu Li in disbelief and asked softly, "Do you want me to go?" ”

"I don't want to." Chu Li calmly analyzed: "Sending you away is very detrimental to Chu Yan's friendship and your reputation...... I don't want to send you away. ”

"Then why do you ask me that?" Slightly thick has begun to get emotional.

Chu Li frowned again and tried to explain, "I'm thinking about you. Leave your home and country aside and only think about your personal safety. ”

"Didn't you say that the king would not dispose of me?" Wei Nong still couldn't believe it, and there were tears in his eyes: "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, do you want to charge me with a crime?" ”

"You calm down," Chu Li stepped forward to hold her hand and reassured her, "With me here, my father will never rashly dispose of you." But those who are in the shadows...... I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of by them again. ”

Wei Nong shuddered when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly.

Seeing this, Chu Li was even more worried: "I'm just preparing for the worst...... In case you can't make it ......"

"Why can't I make it?!" Wei Nong shook off his hand and stubbornly refused: "The body is not afraid of the shadow, and if you don't know, you don't know!" If I leave, people will say that I am weak-hearted! ”

She can't go, she can't leave with this black cauldron on her back! She had just adapted to being here, and she was just about to forget Nie Xingji, how could she go back! She still has to be the crown princess, and she still has to be the queen of Chu, she hasn't stood in front of that rotten person in a beautiful way, how can she go back!

She's better off than Nie Xingji! She wants to live a more colorful life! Never go back disgraced until you do it!

Xu is her expression was too firm and resolute, Chu Li seemed to be infected by her, and gradually showed a little relief: "Are you really willing to stay?" ”

"Yes!" Slightly thick wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, without hesitation.

"In that case, marry me." He looked at her and said solemnly: "Be my wife and become the princess of Chu, no one will dare to doubt you and hurt you again." ”
