Chapter 3 Living Together in the Royal Courtyard
Chu Li's emotions surged for a moment, but she immediately calmed down. The emperor actually wanted her to study with these three people. Does that mean she would have to interact with them every day?
The emperor stood up, his seemingly gentle eyes and brows showed the ruthlessness of an emperor.
"The autumn hunt is coming soon. Pei Ye is the best archer, Mu Feng is the best rider, and Lord Ye, the prince's studies must not be neglected, so I have decided to let the three of you assist the prince. We cannot lose face again in this autumn hunt."
Chu Li met the cold gaze of Emperor Qingyuan, "Otherwise, I won't be the crown prince anymore."
She calmed down completely after hearing this. That was it. She actually didn't need any help!
There was a cold look in Pei Ye's eyes. Mu Feng clenched his fists and glanced at Chu Li.
Ye Hanting's expression was the calmest among the three. He stood there like a flower on the mountain top, spotless.
Chu Li's eyelids twitched, but he decided to find a way to refuse!
Unexpectedly, the next moment the emperor seemed to have made up his mind and looked at her with firm eyes.
"Starting tomorrow, the Crown Prince will move out of the East Palace and live in the Royal Courtyard with Commander Pei, General Mu, and Master Ye until the autumn hunt in half a month."
No way! This is how you play!
Chu Li originally wanted her father to spend money to compensate her with some gold, silver and jewelry so that she could build up her own power.
She didn't expect that her scumbag father would actually push his daughter into the fire pit.
They all live together, and these three men combined have eight hundred tricks up their sleeves. Can she keep her identity secret without exposing it?
"I am confident that I can win the first prize in the autumn hunt!" Chu Li said confidently and calmly, hoping that his father would take back his decision.
The emperor was startled, then waved his hand in disdain, "Your elder sister, General Pingxi, will also come back during the autumn hunt. If you don't want to lose too badly, then learn from the three masters. If you are still the last, then go to Lingnan to train for three years before coming back!"
Chu Li's eyes darkened, damn Chu Yue is coming back!
Chu Yue is the most outstanding queen of the Chu State, a female general respected by everyone, while she is the most cowardly and most despised prince of the Chu State. The two of them are simply living as a control group.
The worst thing is that the third prince who was imprisoned in the clan house by the emperor was ***'s younger brother.
Now the feud has been formed.
Mu Feng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't learn anything in half a month. After all, the Crown Prince's foundation is too weak."
Chu Li nodded, "My uncle is right."
The emperor's glares fell on her, and Chu Li pinched her mouth with her fingers.
"I know that it is really difficult for you to give the crown prince a big promotion in half a month, but let's try it out!"
Chu Li: “…”
"I'm tired, you can leave!" After saying this, the emperor left first, and a group of eunuchs followed him.
......
Chu Li returned to the East Palace, soaked in the bathtub, and looked down at the ambiguous traces on his body.
This bastard doesn't know how to be gentle with women and is just full of arrogance.
She leaned against the bathtub with her chin in her hand, thinking about how to find some nourishing herbs as soon as possible. In her previous life, she had a medicine body that was immune to all poisons, and the blood in her body could detoxify all poisons.
Otherwise, she would have been fooled by the mere Hehuan Powder!
We also need to find some poisonous herbs that can take people's lives, so that we can at least make some poisons for self-defense.
Being a crown prince is a high-risk job. In this deep palace, one must be on guard against others and be prepared for any eventuality.
Suddenly, her ears moved slightly and she heard a rustling sound, and the next moment she grabbed the poisonous snake that was crawling up from the edge of the bathtub.
Before the poisonous snake could open its fangs, Chu Li knocked it out with a punch.
She took off her clothes, put them on, got out of the bathtub, and kicked the unconscious venomous snake on the ground with disgust.
"King Cobra, haha, whatever you think comes true!"
Chu Li pinched the king cobra's head, stuck its fangs on the cup to extract the venom, and then threw it aside in disgust.
"It would be nice if it was a silver ring snake!" Chu Li looked at the awakened king cobra calmly and couldn't help but complain.
When the king cobra looked into Chu Li's eyes, its pupils suddenly shrank. That look made it feel fear for the first time, and it twisted its long body quickly trying to escape.
Chu Li slammed the door shut, and his eyes looking out the window suddenly became cold.
She quickly walked towards the figure outside the window and jumped out.
The young eunuch in front of him turned pale, put down the bag in his hand, turned around and wanted to run.
Chu Li leaped in front of the young eunuch and punched him on the temple.
In an instant, black blood flowed from the young eunuch's eyes and mouth, and he died on the spot.
Chu Li frowned, the young eunuch Xiao Qiangzi had died of poisoning.
Sure enough, there were too many people who wanted to kill her. The traitor Qiao'er and the little eunuch Xiao Qiangzi around her were both people planted in the East Palace by others.
It seems that it is necessary to eradicate the cancer around us.
Bingxia, the personal maid who had just returned from cooking a midnight snack for Chu Li, saw this scene.
She screamed in fear, and Chu Li covered her mouth and took her into the house.
Bing Xia's pupils shrank sharply, and she hugged Chu Li subconsciously, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness."
Chu Li gently pushed the shivering Bing Xia away and poked her forehead with his finger, "Next time I take a bath, you can't leave no matter what."
Bing Xia understood immediately that the eunuch wanted to kill His Highness. She nodded quickly, "Yes, Your Highness, I will never dare to do it again next time."
She looked at her master suspiciously, wondering how her master knew that she had just been sent away by Xiao Qiangzi.
"Snake, snake, snake..." Suddenly, Bingxia couldn't speak anymore. She wanted to scream but didn't dare. Her round face turned red.
Chu Li curled his lips and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'll send it away in a moment!"
Bingxia is the only person who knows that she is a girl, and the only person the original owner can trust.
However, this girl is not someone Chu Li completely trusts, so he needs to observe her further.
......
Tufu's Mansion.
Ye Hanting, with his broad shoulders and narrow waist, sat in the hot spring pool. There was no expression on his handsome face. Water droplets flowed down his Adam's apple, pectoral muscles, passed by his abdominal muscles and finally sank into the water.
Behind the gauze curtain, the secret guard leader Lan Yi was swallowing saliva wildly, not because he was greedy for his master's body, but because he was nervous.
Because of his mistake, his master, who had always been abstinent and away from women, broke his vows and lost his virginity tonight.
"Master, the antidote was delayed on the way. It is my fault. I am willing to be punished." Lan Yi's blood was about to solidify and he didn't dare to breathe.
The master was drugged five years ago and becomes manic every three months, with each attack being different.
Unfortunately, he searched all over the world for famous doctors for his master, but no one could cure his illness.
After the master fell ill at the palace banquet, he couldn't control himself and asked for a woman.
You know, in recent years, even the fish raised by the master have only males and no females.
For many years, he didn't like contact with women, and even less so with matters between men and women.
This time, the woman who slept with the master is probably going to die!
