Chapter 5 Peeping at the Bath

Chapter 5 Peeping at the Bath

Chu Li was held tightly in the arms of a man, and the man had a pleasant pine scent on him.

A clean white suit came into view, and Chu Li looked up to see the man's handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

The memory of that night came back to her again. Why did she feel that the man in front of her, Ye Hanting, was also the man from that night?

"Your Highness!"

"Teacher!"

Mu Feng came quickly, Bingxia was frightened, she helped Chu Li up and started to check her body.

"Master Taifu, are you okay?" Mu Feng frowned.

He just wanted to train Chu Li to be more calm when facing a crisis. In fact, he could control the warhorse and prevent her from falling off the horse.

"No problem." Ye Hanting replied calmly.

Chu Li saw that Ye Hanting's wrist was broken and bleeding.

"Master, you are injured. I am here to bandage you."

Chu Li dismissed his previous thoughts. Ye Hanting was a weak civil official, and the man that night looked very different from him.

Moreover, Qiao'er was stabbed by a knife. If the person was not a martial artist, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to have such strength in his hands.

"No need, it's just a minor injury." There was a coldness between Ye Hanting's eyebrows, hiding the momentary distraction when he hugged Chu Li just now.

That night, Chu Li's almond-shaped eyes were misty with dew and her red lips were slightly parted as if inviting him to pick them, but today, she is bright and clear, without a speck of dust.

If he hadn't been sure that the person that night was Chu Li, he would have thought they were two different people.

"That's impossible!" Chu Li grabbed Ye Hanting's sleeve and forced him into the house.

Ye Hanting frowned as he watched her bandage his wound with skillful movements. Does she get injured often?

While Chu Li was bandaging him, she was secretly taking his pulse. She wanted to see if Ye Hanting was deliberately disguising himself as a civil official.

If someone practices martial arts for many years, his pulse beats differently from that of an ordinary person, but she did not find anything abnormal.

Either Ye Hanting is a person without any foundation in martial arts, or he is a person with extremely terrifying martial arts skills.

Suddenly, Chu Li's fingers on the pulse paused. There was something wrong with Ye Hanting's body, a state between being sick and not being sick.

"It's wrapped." Ye Hanting immediately withdrew his hand. He saw all the little movements Chu Li made just now, but he didn't believe that Chu Li could take a pulse.

Is Chu Li taking the emperor's pulse to test his strength?

Given Chu Li's timid nature, that shouldn't happen. Maybe he was just worrying too much.

Chu Li sighed: Ye Hanting turned out to be a sickly person. She clearly found out when she took his pulse, but because the time was too short, she couldn't tell what the illness was.

Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief. The man who looked so strong that night could definitely not be Ye Hanting.

Excluding him, it seems that the man she slept with was Pei Ye or Mu Feng.

"Your Highness, come out and continue practicing." Mu Feng's urgent voice came, and Chu Li tilted his head and sighed.

"understood!"

When she was practicing horse riding, she saw Ye Hanting sitting in the pavilion playing chess with both hands. He was indeed the most handsome man in Chu, a flower on the mountain top, no strangers allowed. Even his fingers were so delicate and beautiful.

Chu Li raised his eyes and saw Pei Ye half lying on the tree trunk, holding a small white flower in his hand. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a little red at the corners of his eyes, looking very sickly and delicate.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at her uncle who was tall and strong and had a tough look.

Wow, if these three were alive today, each of them would be a handsome man in ancient costume who would venture into the film and television industry.

With a good figure, good looks and great temperament, signing a contract with her is a win-win situation!

It's a pity that she can't avoid these three people now.

Chu Li sighed unconsciously.

Mu Feng, who was walking with her, sneered, "Neither of these two people really wants to teach you, you should practice horse riding well, and your uncle can also teach you archery."

His face darkened and he pulled the reins, "However, this is your last chance. If you don't make progress, the old man asked me to tell you that the Mu family will no longer recognize you!"

Chu Li nodded repeatedly. If she failed in this autumn hunt, her scumbag father and her grandfather's family would not recognize her.

She lowered her voice and asked tentatively: "Uncle, of the three of you, I really only trust you. I'm afraid they will harm me. How about we sleep together tonight!"

"Nonsense!" Chu Li saw Mu Feng's handsome face with a righteous look, and scolded: "You are the prince, you are eighteen years old this year, and you still need someone to sleep with you!"

Chu Li scratched his head. When it came to sleeping together, his uncle was too frank. It wasn't him.

Mu Feng looked at Chu Li's face, which was prettier than a woman's, and frowned, "Don't say such nonsense in the future!"

Chu Li's eyes lit up on his androgynous face, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I was just joking, my uncle is just too serious. He is so unromantic. When will I have an aunt-in-law?"

Mu Feng sneered, "What woman do you want? The battlefield is ruthless. Many generals died in battle and returned wrapped in their horsehide. Why bother to implicate others?"

Chu Li looked at Mu Fengyang's tough face and said, "Uncle, you are such a man!"

Ye Hanting heard everything the two said. He understood that Chu Li was looking for the man who went to Wushan with her last night.

It seems that her target of suspicion will be Pei Ye.

Well, let her think so!

Anyway, he couldn't say that he had any romantic feelings for Chu Li, it was just an impulsive act that night.

Chu Li used him as an antidote, and he did the same.

If Chu Li asked him to take responsibility, he would do so, but Chu Li didn't dare to.

"Master Taifu, don't you find it boring to play chess alone?"

Ye Hanting raised his eyes and saw Pei Ye approaching him quietly.

"Does brutally destroying flowers no longer bring pleasure to Commander Pei?" Ye Hanting put down a black piece.

Pei Ye smiled faintly, "Master Taifu, did you hear that a young eunuch died in the Crown Prince's East Palace last night?"

"Died of poisoning." Ye Hanting placed the white piece on the chessboard with his slender fingers.

"The fangs of the king cobra were broken off and quietly thrown onto Concubine Rong's bed. What a great skill! Who do you think could hide his body and sneak into the palace to do this?"

Pei Ye leaned against the stone pillar of the pavilion and stared at Ye Hanting's hand in an unruly manner.

Ye Hanting dropped another black dot, "You are the commander of the imperial army."

He raised his eyes with a sense of oppression to meet Pei Ye's inquiring eyes, and said coldly: "Ask me?"

Pei Ye frowned. It was not done by Ye Hanting's people.

He originally thought that Ye Hanting was secretly helping the prince to avenge the false accusation made by Concubine Rong.

It seems not.

Who on earth could have hidden himself from the imperial guards and moved freely in the palace without being discovered?

"Master Taifu, don't make the wrong move and end up losing the whole game."

Ye Hanting sneered at Pei Ye's warning. He held up the chessboard with his slender fingers and scattered the chess pieces all over the floor. "This Master hates others pointing fingers at me the most. My chess pieces can move however I want!"

Then he turned his head and walked away indifferently.

Pei Ye looked at his handsome and elegant back, a bloodthirsty smile blooming on the corner of his lips.

The powerful Grand Tutor is indeed very arrogant!

......

At night, in the huge royal villa, the four people living here each have their own thoughts.

Inside the house, Pei Ye took off his outer clothes and prepared to take a bath in the bathtub.

Chu Li used the process of elimination to rule out her uncle Mu Feng and her master Ye Hanting. She now seriously suspected that Pei Ye was the man that night.

While Pei Ye was taking a shower, she wanted to see if there were any scratches from her nails on Pei Ye's back.

Under Pei Ye's strong chest muscles, his eight abdominal muscles were rising and falling powerfully. Chu Li raised his eyebrows and thought, why don't you turn around for me.

Just as she was staring into the house with her eyes as wide as bells, suddenly, a strong hand grabbed the back of her neck.

The other hand covered her mouth and quickly took her into the darkness.
