The man behind the screen didn't answer Chu Chi's words, got up and said, "You take care of your injuries, and when you are healed, you can leave."

After the man left, Chu Chi looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table on the side.

Chu Chi walked up to the bronze mirror and looked at a piece of plaster on her face, and after tearing off the ointment, she frowned as she looked at the scar about an inch long.

With such a long and deep knife mark, I am afraid it is difficult not to leave a scar.

"Miss." A maid came in at the door and said, "Don't touch the wound, this is a decaying muscle cream handed down from the ancestors, which is specially used to treat knife wounds." ”

The maid took a medicine sticker, smeared the pale green plaster on the medicine sticker, and pasted it on Chu Chi's wound, Chu Chi only felt a burst of coolness.

"Where is this? I'm going back! ”

The maid said respectfully: "Although you have a good life and recuperation here, when you are healed, the master will naturally let you leave." ”

Chu Chi got up and spared the screen, she opened the door in front of her, and when she went out, she could see a lot of dead trees that had fallen leaves, and goodbye was the lake, Chu Chi looked around, this was a small island, and the surrounding area was full of lakes.

From afar, you can see that the houses on the other side are full of Jiangnan wind.

Chu Chi asked the maid, "Where is this place?" ”

"Miss, just stay here in peace."

……

Zhao Jie and Chu Qing found it late at night, but there was no trace of Chu Chi, he frowned and rode back to the city, and when he saw the word Chu Mansion in front of him, Zhao Jie asked his subordinates to break into the door directly.

As soon as Zhao Jie walked to the hall of the Chu family, he saw a woman with a bloody face coming from the small servant behind Chu Yan.

"Chu Yan, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Jie frowned when he saw the woman with a wound on her face.

Chu Yan arched his hand and said: "Liuli is bold and disrespectful to the female official in the palace, I have already severely punished her, and she has also known it." ”

Zhao Jie frowned and asked Chu Liuli, "What about Chu Chi?" Where did you get Chu Chi? ”

Chu Liuli shook his head and said, "I don't know, ah! I don't know, uncle, spare me, I was wrong......"

Zhao Jie saw the crazy Chu Liuli, looked at Chu Yan and said, "Where are the Chu Chi people?" ”

Chu Yan looked at Zhao Jie and said: "Your Majesty, today Chu Chi was kicked out of the palace by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered Chu Chi not to step into Shengjing City, so Chu Chi naturally has to abide by the Queen Mother's decree." ”

Zhao Jie said in a loud voice: "The queen mother doesn't count, what about the people of Chuchi?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Chu Chi is very safe, it's just that she is injured a little, I can let Your Majesty go and see her, but she shouldn't want to see Your Majesty."

Zhao Jie frowned: "How could she not see me?" ”

"Then please come aboard Your Majesty."

The night was extremely deep, but Chu Chi couldn't sleep, she looked out the window and saw a small boat with candlelight coming from the lake.

The maid pushed the door and entered: "Miss, Your Majesty wants to see you, and the master asks if you want to see you?" ”

Chu Chi said: "Your Majesty is here, how can I not see it?" ”

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Chu Chi missed Zhao Jie very much.

The maid whispered, "Your face ......"

Chu Chi touched her face, that inch of wound even she felt ugly and embarrassed, Chu Chi remembered that she met the angry Queen Mother this morning, she sighed and said, "I'd better meet Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jie entered the hut in the lake, and when he entered, he saw the figure behind the screen: "Chu Chi? ”

Zhao Jie took three steps and two steps inside, and hugged Chu Chi tightly in his arms.

Chu Chi put his arms around Zhao Jie's waist, put his head on Zhao Jie's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jie looked down at Chu Chi by the candlelight, the plaster on her face was very obvious, "Your face? ”

Chu Chi slowly tore off the plaster, revealing an ugly scar and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid was scratched by Chu Liuli's face. ”

Zhao Jie slowly raised his hand to touch Chu Chi's face, he understood why Chu Liuli's face was full of knife marks, he just regretted that he didn't take revenge!

Zhao Jie still held Chu Chi in his arms, hugged Chu Chi tightly and said: "It was I who didn't protect you well, and I let you be taken away by the queen mother from the Taiji Palace, and when I go back, I can't spare those palace maids!" ”

Chu Chi said: "Your Majesty, why should you blame those palace maids? It is not easy for them to be ordinary, how dare they disobey the will of the Queen Mother for the sake of slaves? ”

Zhao Jie clasped Chu Chi's hand and said, "When I return to the palace, I will inform the queen mother that I want to marry you." ”

Chu Chi stretched out his hand and gently approached his side face and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid's face is no longer there, you don't want to lose harmony with the Queen Mother and son for the sake of the slave and maid, you have no father since you were a child, it is the Queen Mother who protects you to grow up, and the Queen Mother ...... you."

Zhao Jie frowned and said in a dumb voice: "What if you disfigured your face, I didn't just take a fancy to your appearance. ”

Chu Chi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jie said: "Chu Chi, I only want to ask you, are you willing to marry me?" You don't have to think about the other twists and turns, just say if you want to marry me? ”

Zhao Jie put his finger on Chu Chi's chin, forcing Chu Chi to raise his chin and look at him, "Would you like to?" ”

Chu Chi just entered Zhao Jie's arms, climbed Zhao Jie's waist with both hands, and wept: "The concubine is willing." ”

Zhao Jie chuckled and wiped the tears from the corners of Chu Chi's eyes, took Chu Chi's hand and said, "Go, go home." ”

Chu Chi and Zhao Jie left the courtyard in the lake, and when they were about to get on the boat, they heard a sound from the boat.

"Your Majesty, Chu Chi can't go with you for the time being."

Zhao Jie said coldly: "Chu Yan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chu Yan came out of the boat, the sky was dark, but through the light of the lantern, Chu Chi could still see the face of the man in front of him clearly, and she held Zhao Jie's hand tightly.

Chu Yan looked at Chu Chi and said, "The scar on Miss Chu's face needs to be recuperated, and after she recovers, she can leave here, presumably Miss Chu doesn't want her family to worry about the injury on your face, right?" ”

Chu Chi let go of Zhao Jie's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'll stay here to recuperate." ”

Zhao Jie said: "You can also recuperate in the palace, and it's not a big injury......

Chu Chi looked at Chu Yan and whispered to Zhao Jie: "Your Majesty, go back to the palace first." ”

Zhao Jie saw Chu Chi's expression and was clearly hiding something from him, and frowned slightly: "In this case, I will go back first, just to talk to the queen mother about the matter of sealing you as the queen, you are here to recuperate, I will come to see you tomorrow afternoon." ”

After sending Zhao Jie away, Chu Chi's heart was very confused.

Chu Yan returned and said to Chu Chi: "You are not suitable to enter the palace as the queen, the Qi family and the Lu family are eyeing the court in the court, and Zhao Jie, as the emperor, married you a powerless and powerless woman as the queen, so naturally you want to let the powerful noble lady enter the palace as a concubine to balance the power of the court."

Your entry into the harem is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, you are from a humble background, powerless and powerless, in the harem, you can't fight those high-ranking nobles, today Chu Liuli dares to hurt you, there are other nobles who will hurt you in the future, even if Your Majesty is there, you can't protect you anytime and anywhere. ”

Chu Chi looked at Chu Yan in front of him and smiled sarcastically: "The daughter of the head of a dignified thousand-year-old family is powerless and low-born?" ”
