But in the end, Cui Li chose to let her go.

The corners of her mouth lifted sharply, and her dark eyes stared at her face lying on her back, "If you don't sleep, continue to get up and serve Mo." ”

Lian Li sighed, and his cheeks were rosy to indicate that he knew.

Cui Li turned around and left.

Lian Li glanced at his back and couldn't help but touch his lips, which seemed to still be painful. It's intimate, but it deliberately wants to hurt her.

Her eyes were closed, her fingers curled slightly, her chest still gently heaving.

An hour later.

Lian Li fell asleep in a daze.

But this sleep was not heavy, the dream was too mixed, and suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she quickly closed them again, because the room was still bright.

After closing it, realizing what the light in the room represented, Lian Li frowned, he was still looking at things?

Her eyes eased for a moment, and when she opened them again, she looked directly in his direction. Sure enough, he was still sitting there, his jaw curled tight, and he lifted his pen from time to time.

Lian Li's brows couldn't help but furrow deeper.

In another hour, the sky will be bright, and he is still looking at things, isn't he tired?

Thinking like this, I saw him pinch his neck, lean back, his eyebrows wrinkled, and his handsome face was slightly calm.

Lian Li glanced at his tired movements at this time, thought about it, and stepped lightly on the ground and came towards him.

Cui Li heard her movement on the ground, he opened his eyes, and his dark gaze turned over.

Even Pear saw that he had opened his eyes, and his steps were still very light.

When she got closer, she looked down at him and persuaded, "Go and rest on the couch, you haven't slept all night." ”

Cui Li didn't move, and closed his eyes again.

Even the pear sighed, it's been this hour, does he want to watch it again?

opened his mouth, thinking of persuading again, but this time before she could speak, he had already lifted his eyes and stood up.

Seeing that he had listened to the persuasion, he planned to take a rest first, and Lian Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking two steps, Cui Li stopped again, he glanced back at her, and suddenly said, "Keep up." ”

Lian Li was slightly stunned.

Cui Li was impatient, "Don't you understand?" ”

Of course Lian Li understood, but this was the first time he let her into his inner room, which made her not stunned.

But there was no more time for her to stop here and be stunned, Cui Li's eyebrows twisted, and her face became even more somber...... He was so impatient that she followed two steps and walked with him into the inner room.

When you get to the inner room, there is a sense of silence on your face, everything in it is neat and simple, and it looks cold inexplicably.

Cui Li sat down directly on the edge of the couch, he took off his two shoes, and motioned for her to come over.

Lian Li stood still in front of the couch.

Cui Li pinched his eyebrows and patted the position beside him.

Lian Li couldn't figure out what he was going to do. He asked her to follow up, and it didn't look like he was going to ask for her.

But he motioned for her to sit down on the couch...... Lian Li blinked and sat down slowly.

When he sat down, he saw him lying down, and then he felt a weight on his legs, and his head pillowed up, "Wake me up in an hour." ”

Lian Li: "...... Good. ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, I never thought that he asked her to come in because he wanted her to be his pillow.

Cui Li closed his eyes heavily.

However, his mind did not relax, and his mind was even clearer than before.

At first, I didn't want to call her in, but when I thought of the things on the bookcase, I took only two steps and suddenly stopped, and let her come in with me.

And the reason why it rests on her legs...... Cui Li's expression deepened. He just didn't want to be distracted all the time to notice when she was tossing and turning around in the house while he was asleep, so it was better to press it to his side.

Cui Li felt the softness behind his head, and his eyes gradually relaxed.

……

An hour later, Lian Li couldn't wake Cui Li up, because she was dozing off while sitting by herself, and she squinted against the bedpost at some point.

Cui Li was woken up by Ying Sui's voice outside, and when Ying Sui shouted a second time, he woke up.

When I opened my eyes, my eyes were a little empty, but slowly, my pupils focused and came back to my senses.

After coming back to his senses, his subconscious reaction was to frown, he actually slept so deeply?

Her eyes were dark, and she glanced at Lian Li inexplicably, but when she saw that she was asleep, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer, so that she woke him up an hour later, and she fell asleep herself.

As soon as he raised his hand, he wanted to sober her up, but at this time, Ying Sui shouted again, so he still stopped first.

Getting up, he strode out into the room.

"The verdict is in?" Open the door and let Ying Sui in, Cui Li asked lightly.

Ying Sui nodded and was about to answer, but suddenly, there was a loud pop in the inner room, and before he could say yes or no, he saw His Majesty's eyes sharpened, and suddenly returned to the inner room first.

Ying opened his mouth, is there anyone else in His Majesty's house?

When he knocked on the door, no one reminded him that there was someone else in His Majesty's house......

Or, is it a little tiger boy? Did it knock over something?

But His Majesty usually doesn't put the little tiger cub in the house so early, at most let people make it funny when he is free.

Ying Sui's eyes poked in a few times, and he kept thinking in his heart.

Cui Li had already entered the inner room.

With his eyes sweeping, he saw Lian Li's legs and feet standing unnaturally on the edge of the bed, and the small stool in front of him was kicked over.

He frowned and took a few steps over.

When Lian Li saw him coming, she moved two steps forward, but this move made her legs numb and painful, and her legs were the same as those that were not hers, so she didn't obey the call at all.

She leaned over, almost knocking on something.

sighed twice in her heart, and she was going to slap it again, but at this time, her elbow was suddenly pulled, her body stabilized, and she had a false alarm.

Lian Li exhaled twice, looked up and thanked her, Cui Li calmed his face, sat back on the couch with her shoulder, glanced at the stool, and looked at her coldly, as if he wanted her to explain what she was doing early in the morning.

Lian Li's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "My legs are numb......"

The sturdiness made him pillow for an hour, and his legs were cold and numb. When she first woke up, her left hand inadvertently touched her calf, so frightened that she almost thought she had touched some dead man's arm and leg.

Because the numb sensation in the two legs has not yet recovered, when she is confused, she doesn't realize that this is her leg.

She was so frightened that she wanted to dodge, so she hit the low stool with her foot and neck, kicking it over and making a noise.

Cui Li: "......"

Expressionlessly, she glanced at her legs, and her palms unconsciously leaned forward.

Lian Li thought that he was going to knock her head again, his eyes condensed slightly, and this time he refused, "It's not what I thought, it's really numb legs." ”

The head was already receding slightly.

Cui Li: "......"

Only after realizing it did she realize that she thought he was going to knock her forehead again, and pulled the corners of her mouth expressionlessly, and sighed in her heart.

Pulling her hand, he suddenly pulled her closer, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his voice was displeased, "Even if I really want to knock you, I will bear it!" ”

Lian Li: "......" This time it was her turn to be expressionless.

The two big eyes looked at him dissatisfiedly and unwillingly.

Cui Li seemed to be happy, the corners of his mouth curved, and a smile hooked out.

"Yes." When he shouted this, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there.

Ying Sui, who was figuring out outside, heard this and immediately walked in a few steps. When I walked into the inner room, I saw Lian Li standing next to Her Majesty, and Her Majesty was still holding her elbow with one hand, and the corners of her mouth had a shallow curvature.

Ying suppressed his somewhat surprised eyes and lowered his head to listen to the order.

Last night, His Majesty really let Miss Lian stay in the house and wait......

"Go and call the leaf in her house, and tell her to come and take her back."

"Yes." After listening carefully, he stepped back.

Within a moment, Ying Sui came over with Huanye.

"My lord, someone is coming."

Huanye was immediately blessed.

Cui Li snorted, glanced at Lian Li's two still unnatural legs, and motioned to Huanye, "Help your master back." ”

Huanye: "Yes, my lord. ”

Be careful to come over and pick up the girl.

……

Back in the house, Huanye helped Lian Li to sit down, his face overflowing with joy.

Lian Li felt that her eyes were always meaningfully sweeping her legs, and she covered her mouth in front of her to steal fun.

Lian Li: "......"

She hammered her numb thighs and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”

The corners of Huanye's mouth hooked, squatted down and gently helped her pinch her legs, "Girl, were you tired last night?" ”

Look, the road is not easy, and the adults specially let her go over to pick her up, which shows how bad the trouble was last night!

Lian Li thought about the situation last night, "...... It's a little tiring. ”

After slept before the wee hours of the morning, she slept for more than an hour in the second half of the night.

Not only are my legs numb, but my eyes are also lacking.

But, she's laughing because of this?

Lian Li didn't understand, but with her next sentence, she suddenly understood.

"Is it that the adults are tossing too much?" Huanye was gentle in his hand, and said with a smile, "Slave help you pinch, it can feel better!" ”

The corners of Lian Li's mouth curled, and she was happy, it turned out that she had misunderstood, thinking that she and Cui Li had done something last night.

Huanye saw her smile, and felt that she was ashamed of being said, and the soft hammer of her two hands made the corners of her mouth even happier.

In her opinion, since the adult is willing to want Miss Lian, then the one she will follow in the future will also be promising.

She has a good temperament, how good it is under her hands! He worked hard to serve more dedicatedly.

……

In the main room, after Cui Li had no outsiders in the house, he signaled Ying Sui to continue to talk about the results of the interrogation.

Ying Sui: "This person's real name is Wei Xian, and he heard the news that the traitor Cui Ye and his party were captured, so he killed Xia Yin, who was most similar to him, and lurked in." ”

Soon after the assassination on the boat, Zhong Sheng successfully found Cui Ye's hiding place with clues, and Huo Tan also captured Cui Ye with Zhong Sheng that time, and he was injured last time because of that time.

At that time, Cui Ye was besieged in the dark house, he was really cornered, and he had the idea of dying together under the madness, Huo Tan was thinking about capturing him alive and risking to approach, but he didn't expect Cui Ye to have a back move, Huo Tan didn't expect that there was a second one in his house in addition to a secret room, and this second one was hiding Cui Ye's back hand. At that time, he was taking advantage of his subordinates' entanglement with Cui Ye Yu to capture Cui Ye with a knife, but when he turned his back to the past, the second secret room suddenly broke open, and two figures rushed out from inside, and he was about to cut off Huo Yan's head with a knife.

Fortunately, Huo Tan's first reaction when he noticed that something was wrong was to dodge first, so he was not cut off in the vital place.

At this time, Zhong Sheng also happened to solve the Cui Yeyu party who wanted a fire to let them die together, and he led people to rush over and solve Huo Yan's danger in time.

After that night, in the end, Cui Ye died and was not captured alive.

"That Wei Xian said that the reason why he knew that you lived here was because Lu Chengwei learned from him before he was imprisoned."

Cui Li: "Who instructed him?" ”

Ying Sui took out what he had found from Wei Xian.

In addition to that, there were some things that had been found in some of the hidden places he had confided in.

Cui Li saw it with a cold expression.

Ying lowered his eyes and waited for His Majesty to speak.

But after a long time, I didn't hear the secret order from His Majesty, His Majesty was just groaning, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

You should calm down and continue to wait silently.

After another quarter of an hour, he finally heard a clear voice, but this voice did not tell him to arrange anything in secret, but said that he was returning to Beijing.

"The day after tomorrow, I will return to Beijing."

Ying Sui: "Then Lord Qi's side?" ”

Cui Li: "Wei Xian was detained, and after ten days and half a month, he must have noticed the clues." ”

This is what should be worried.

"That being the case, then I took Wei Xian's confession and sent it directly to Qi Yina, so that he could write an excerpt to defend himself."

Ying: This ......

"I'm afraid Lord Qi won't admit it."

Cui Li sneered, how could that old thing recognize it.

So this time he has to go in person, "Qi Yi's mother is in Dingyi, will she be seventy in a while?" He said before that he would take leave to congratulate his mother on her birthday, and it just so happened that I gave Qi Lao a face, and I personally went to listen to his defense, and I didn't need him to fold it again after returning to the court. ”

Ying Sui's eyelids jumped violently, he felt that His Majesty didn't just want to listen to Qi Lao's defense in person, His Majesty wanted to move him directly.

"But when Elder Qi receives the news of your questioning, he may be vigilant."

Cui Li knows.

But Qi Yi will send someone to secretly find out his secret guards, and he is already at a disadvantage.

And even if he was vigilant, he probably wouldn't have imagined that he would come directly this time, after all, he hadn't treated him well in the past year, and he probably thought that he wouldn't clean him up this year.

Cui Li gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You go and do it, and I'll go back to Beijing in a few days." ”

"Yes."

You should go and inform Zhong Sheng and the others.

After all the notices were in place, I suddenly remembered that there was another person who didn't go, and Ying hesitated and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Do you want to inform Miss Lian about her upcoming journey?

He was really hesitant, and he couldn't be sure if His Majesty wanted to bring this with him, so he thought about it and came to ask.

Instead of speculating, it's better to ask directly.

"My lord, even the girl, do you want to inform me together?"

Cui Li groaned.

After a long time, he said lightly: "...... Well, talk to her. ”

There were suddenly multiple women around him, which could distract Qi Yi a little.

Ying Sui: "Yes, the subordinates will go." ”

After he retreated, Cui Li's gaze followed his back and glanced in the direction of the east jima where he was walking.

……

Lian Li knew the news that she was going to leave for the north in a few days, she nodded and said okay.

Huan Ye was happier than her, and after Ying Sui left, she couldn't stop jumping, "Girl, then I'll help you pack your things!" ”

Just now, the guard said that she followed and served Miss Lian! That's what it means that she's going north with her. I was so happy that I almost hummed a small tune.

Lian Li: "I'll clean up with you." ”

Huanye: "Hey!! ”

On the tenth day of June, early in the morning.

Wen Shu took a bag and walked out.

I walked to the front yard, stopped for a moment, and couldn't help but look back. After a few breaths, I moved on. Your Majesty is leaving for Beijing today, and her injuries are almost healed, so it's time to go back to her residence.

With a long sigh, I was only glad that I didn't have to face that madman again when I went back, for fear that he would entangle her.

Just as she was out of her mind, a small servant stopped in front of her, "Miss Wen, the carriage is over there, you come with me." ”

Wen Shu came back to his senses, "Okay." ”

The little servant led her to the place where the carriage was placed in the front yard, and finally stopped in front of a carriage that could sit for two people, "This is it." ”

Wen Shu nodded, but she didn't get into the carriage right away, because she heard someone coming from the other side behind her, asking people to check the other carriages again.

In one of them, the man seemed to be particularly concerned, and repeatedly instructed, "Have you checked everything inside?" This is for adults and girls to sit, and they must not be sloppy. ”

"I've checked it all." The little guy who was asked nodded solemnly.

But the person in charge was still not at ease, so he checked it again in a circle left and right. Later, the guards will come to see in person, and if he is checked out, then he will not be able to eat and walk away.

Wen Shu froze in place when he heard his footsteps, and couldn't help but be surprised, Lian Li, who he saw last time, had reached the point where he could ride in the same carriage with His Highness?

She almost couldn't help but look back at the man who spoke and the carriage to see if he was telling the truth.

"Girl?"

Without waiting for her to act, the voice of the little girl broke her unconscious reaction first. Wen Shu came back to his senses, and after coming back to his senses, he also realized that the subconscious action just now was too much, and he was really sure that it was just that His Majesty didn't seem to be the same to that person. And these things are too far away for her now.

She restrained her expression and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just thought about something." ”

Xiaowu: "Then you get in the carriage now, and I'll send you back?" ”

"Okay." Wen Shu exhaled a long breath and lifted the curtain into the carriage.

As soon as she left, Ying Sui happened to come over to check the carriage, and after carefully checking it twice, he returned to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, everything is all right." ”

"Well, let's go."

……

Half an hour after the carriage drove out, there was a turn, and the peaches in the saucer gurgled out one and smashed to the ground.

Seeing this, Lian Li squatted down to pick it up, but she didn't expect the carriage to suddenly stop again, she leaned forward uncontrollably, and her shoulders slid forward a lot, almost turning from squatting to kneeling.

Cui Li's eyes sharpened, and he pulled her back in time by pulling her elbow, and Lian Li hit him on his knee, and at the same time, he heard his tone slightly unhappy, "Ying Sui, what's going on?" ”

"My lord, a goat jumped over and the carriage had to stop."

Cui Li's displeasure decreased slightly, but his tone was still cold, "Be steady." ”

"Yes!"

The carriage rolls again.

Lian Li was still next to Cui Li's knees at this time, and from her position, she happened to see a few books beside him that had been crumbling due to the emergency stop, and she didn't get up for a while, holding the peach and raising her eyes, "My lord, your book is going to fall." ”

The mouth was snuggled in that direction.

Cui Li saw it.

But instead of reaching out to straighten it out, he looked at her with dark eyes.

Stretching his knees forward, "Are you going to squat all the time?" ”

Lian Li laughed and got up, "No." ”

Before getting up, I pushed the books on the side of his leg inside, don't really drop them.

Cui Li took the book casually and looked at it again.

There was silence in the carriage.

After watching for most of the hour, he raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting on the side. She leaned against the blinds, and watched the whole way quietly.

His eyes narrowed, and his hands closed.

Lian Li Zhengshen flew out of the sky and looked at the two distant scenes, and suddenly, a voice said, "Look at what." ”

The voice was close, almost in her ears.

Her heart jumped, she patted her heart in fright, and suddenly turned around to face him who was close at hand, "When did you come here?" It's silent. ”

Cui Li stared at her coldly and was silent.

The book in her hand was already raised, as if to pat the back of her hand.

Lian Li shrunk, avoided his shoulder, stopped his hand, and muttered, "I asked, why is it going to be punished." ”

Cui Li stopped moving, nodded his chin, and still asked, "Look at what?" ”

Lian Li: "I didn't look at anything, I just looked at things and was distracted, so as not to disturb your reading." ”

As she spoke, her shoulders swayed gently as the carriage rolled, and she was now almost entirely trapped in the narrow gap between his chest and the window.

She was aware of it, too, but she didn't avoid it or dodge it. These days, her intimate behavior with him is not limited to this.

He smiled, leaning on his arm and glancing at the rolled-up book in his hand, "You're done?" ”

Cui Li's arm didn't come back, and he made a short hum.

"I'm done."

Lian Li was speechless in his heart, then he could see it so quickly. Thinking again, he seemed to have a bunch of things to see all the time, and last night he had been almost all night, and his eyes had not stopped for a moment since he had entered the carriage in the morning.

I couldn't help but say, "After reading it, why don't you rest?" You didn't sleep much last night. ”

Cui Li: "No. ”

But it didn't matter, but the long legs were relaxed and loosened, and the chin was lowered, and it was heavy on her shoulders.

The power of the man is completely attached to her.

Lian Li felt a little heavy, sighed, and looked at his movements on her shoulder.

His eyes were slightly closed, his eyebrow bones protruded, and his thin lips pursed slightly.

Suddenly, his eyelashes moved, his eyelids lifted, and his dark eyes met hers.

Lian Li blinked.

Cui Li glanced at her, his fingers slowly pressed her other hand under his hand, and closed his eyes again. Quietly frowned, she had forgotten just now, and she had to be unable to move to feel at ease.

Cui Li lowered his eyes.

Lian Li didn't look at him again, and leaned against the wall of the car on the side, borrowing strength.

Two quarters of an hour later, even Li didn't know if Cui Li was asleep with her hugging her from behind, but she felt that the carriage had stopped, and she also heard Ying Sui say outside the carriage that the dock had arrived.

She moved slightly, "My lord, the dock has arrived." ”

Cui Li: "Hmm. ”

The voice was hoarse, and the man gradually opened his eyes.

His heavy eyes refocused, and he slowly let go of her.

At this time, Ying Sui's voice came again, "My lord, I have arrived at the dock." ”

"Hmm."

With a simple sound, Cui Li pinched his shoulders, and with a bend of his long legs, he was about to get up. But...... Suddenly stopped, and looked at Lian Li with dark eyes.

Lian Li was quietly stretching his sour palms, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but stop.

Cui Li: "Numb again?" ”

“…… Not. ”

Cui Li sighed.

The long arm rolled up, grabbed her waist, Lian Li's heart jumped slightly, and when she reacted again, she was already leaning on his warm arm. After getting out of the carriage, he was almost hugged by him.

Lian Li quietly calmed the feeling of heartbeat.

After boarding the ship, seeing Cui Li talking to Huo Yanying and others, she took the first step and planned to go back to her cabin.

But one foot had just stepped into the house, but suddenly she heard a few quick steps behind her, coming in her direction.

She was startled, and when she turned around, she saw something suddenly running over at her feet, and Cui Li was twisting her eyebrows.

Lian Li looked at it closely, only to find that it was the little tiger cub, who had already run into her cabin.

Cui Li kind of wanted to beat people.

I thought it had been good for a few days, so I ran around again.

He took a few big steps closer, stood at the door, and said in a cold voice, "Come out." ”

Little Tiger Boy whimpered.

"One last sound, come out."

The little tiger boy wilted and ran out.

seemed to know that the master was angry, and he didn't dare to approach after coming out, but rubbed at Lian Li's feet.

Cui Li pinched its neck and threw it into Ying Sui's arms, "Watch it, don't fall into the water and drown without anyone noticing." ”

Ying smiled: "Yes, my lord." ”

Even the pear couldn't help laughing, especially when he saw the little tiger boy fluttering vigorously in Ying Sui's arms, howling, and the corners of his mouth were bent and bent.

was smiling, and felt that Cui Li glanced at her coldly.

Lian Li hurriedly suppressed her laughter and signaled her to stop laughing.

Cui Li sneered, but threw the little tiger boy into her arms, "That's it, it's up to you to watch it." ”

"Also, serve Mo tonight."

Lian Li pressed the fluttering little hairball: "......"

Then she can't sleep again.
