Little Xingxing returned to the inner room.

Sure enough, we saw Chu Li, dressed in white, sitting in a wheelchair drinking tea. He seemed to have come back in a hurry. His white gown was covered with a layer of dust, making him look a bit dusty.

Hear movement.

He looked sideways, and his eyes, which were always deep and emotionless, were filled with red bloodshot eyes.

"Didn't you leave the capital? When did you come back?"

"just."

Chu Li's eyes swept around her body, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was intact. He put down the tea cup and asked, "Are you okay?"

There was deep concern in his words.

"fine."

"Where's the emperor's uncle?"

"It's okay, I'm already awake."

"Chu Mohan went to Prince Yu's Mansion with you?"

"Yes." Little Xingxing leaned against the huge screen, "He helped the emperor to force the poison out."

"..."

Chu Li looked surprised.

Little Xingxing walked forward slowly and said, half jokingly and half seriously, "You are rushing back in a hurry, are you worried about me?"

Chu Li readily admitted, "Yes!"

"Well……"

"I was originally on my way back. When I was about to arrive in the capital, I received a letter from Lu'er, so I hurried back." Chu Li looked at her deeply, "Fortunately, you're okay."

He didn't tell Little Xingxing that he had gone to a very far place on this trip. In order to come back early, he killed three horses along the way. When he was approaching the capital, he knew that she had been taken away by people from Prince Yu's Mansion, so he even secretly summoned

A lot of troops were stationed near Prince Yu's Mansion, ready to rush in and rob people if something went wrong.

fine.

She came out safely.

When he received the news, he rushed over as soon as possible.

"..."

Little Xingxing felt a little awkward when she met his eyes.

There was an indescribable emotion in Chu Li's eyes when he looked at her, like magma suppressed by volcanic ash, with the heat of being forcibly suppressed.

What Mo Yu had said to her before suddenly flashed through her mind.

Chu Li...

Maybe he really likes her?

If he just wanted to win over her as a partner, he wouldn't be so concerned about her safety and life and death, right?

Little Xingxing's heart suddenly trembled and she avoided his sight.

She pretended to be calm and walked to the opposite side of Chu Li, pulled up a chair and sat down, "Should you explain to me about Lu'er?"

Chu Li looked at her with a smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. When did you find out?"

"Good morning."

"You didn't expose me?"

"Too lazy to expose it."

Chu Li leaned on the wheelchair and chuckled, "Lu'er is indeed the person I arranged to be next to Su Xing'er."

"She's not a very important person. Why are you putting people around her?"

"Who says she isn't."

"Well?"

Chu Li said, "She is the most unguarded person among the imperial grandmothers."

"..."

Little Xingxing frowned, "Why are you staring at Cining Palace? Chu Li, don't say I didn't warn you, don't have any ideas about the Queen Mother, otherwise don't blame me for falling out with you."

"Don't worry, I don't have any plans for Cining Palace. I just want to know more about the goings-on in the palace. Don't worry too much. The emperor gave birth to so many princes, but only four of them survived to adulthood. If I didn't have some means, I would have been killed sooner.

It’s just a pile of bones.”

really!

Little Xingxing's expression relaxed, "Who else have you placed people around? Forget it, don't tell me, I don't want to know anymore."

Chu Li laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Xing'er, we have been a grasshopper on the same rope for a long time. Whether you know or don't know these things, it is impossible for you to draw a clear line with me."

"..."

Seeing that her expression was speechless, Chu Li couldn't help but laugh again, "You don't have to be so bitter and resentful. Don't worry, if something happens to me one day, I will find a way to protect you."

Little Xingxing's heart skipped a beat, "Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Li smiled good-naturedly, "Okay."

"Why don't you let Mo Yu get close to me?"

"He is a man."

Little Xingxing stared, "He is my brother."

"It's not a kiss."

"Hey, are you being unreasonable?" Little Xingxing was angry, "In my heart, Mo Yu is the same as my biological brother, and he also treats me as his biological sister. Since we are in the same boat, we

Our identities are equal, and you have no right to dictate to the people around me."

Chu Li was silent for a moment, "What about Chu Mohan?"

"Why are you mentioning him again? What does it have to do with him?"

"Forty-eight days left."

"..."

"Xing'er, after forty-eight days, you will definitely reconcile with him, right?"

Little Xingxing said without hesitation, "Of course."

Chu Li's expression did not relax. He looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to make a guarantee from her, "What I'm saying is that no matter what happens, you will resolutely reconcile with him, right?"

Little Xingxing keenly noticed something was wrong. She raised her head and met his eyes, "What will happen?"

"you answer me first."

Little Xingxing was determined, "Tell me first."

"..."

The two looked at each other, neither of them willing to compromise. After a while, Chu Li was defeated. He rubbed his temples with a headache, "It's not good to be too smart."

"What's wrong?"

"It's not easy to fool."

Little Xingxing glared at him, "When two people cooperate, the most important thing is honesty. Are you still trying to fool me?"

"..."

Chu Li curled his fingers.

He repeatedly tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair, which was his habitual little move when thinking. After a moment, he clenched his fingers, sighed softly, and chose to tell the truth.

"Chu Mohan is in trouble."

"?"

Chu Li said expressionlessly, "It's not a good thing for him to enter the palace. I told you about the emperor's uncle. The emperor has always regarded him as a serious concern, but he has always been afraid of the strength of Prince Yu's palace and did not dare to attack the emperor's uncle. This time

, the emperor's uncle was finally tricked and poisoned... But you and Chu Mohan went to Prince Yu's Mansion and rescued the emperor's uncle."

Little Xingxing was stunned.

Her head turned quickly, "Could Chu Mohan..."

"Just for you."

"..."

Even Chu Li did not expect that Chu Mohan would make such a decision. After all, he is the son of the queen and the biological brother of the prince. If Chu Yutian does not get rid of him, he will also be the biggest threat to the prince after he ascends the throne.
