Chapter 6 It turns out that he was the one that night!
Chu Li smelled the scent of pine on the man, which should be the scent of incense on the master's clothes.
"It turns out that the prince is gay." Ye Hanting pulled her to the rockery and spoke lightly.
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched. She was caught peeping at Pei Ye taking a bath, and she couldn't make any excuses.
"Don't come to Pei Ye's room. If you had taken another step forward, your neck would have been pierced by a hidden weapon." Ye Hanting reminded.
"Why did Master save me?"
Ye Hanting said in a cold voice, "If you die, Pei Ye will put the blame on me."
Chu Li understood. It seemed that Pei Ye and Ye Hanting didn't get along.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Master Taifu, you haven't slept yet?"
Ye Hanting covered Chu Li's mouth, signaling her to be quiet, and then walked out of the rockery.
"Qianmian, I saw a nice looking cat and wanted to catch it and play with it."
Pei Ye was half covered in a black robe, with a sneer on his lips, "Really? Give it to me when you get tired of playing with it. I just happen to be in need of a cat tail pendant."
Ye Hanting's eyes dimmed, "This master's playthings are never shared with others."
Pei Ye's hair was wet, and a sneer flashed across his face. "Then it depends on who catches the cat first."
Ye Hanting glanced at Pei Ye, whose clothes were half-transparent, smiled faintly, and turned away.
Chu Li heard the conversation between the two and slipped away.
Pei Ye's gaze fell on Ye Hanting's back. Why did Ye Hanting help Chu Li twice!
Although he is the Grand Tutor, he has never looked at Chu Li directly in the past few years. Why has he changed now?
In addition, after the palace banquet that night, the imperial guards followed Ye Hanting but lost him, and then there was news in the palace that the third prince slandered the crown prince for having an affair with his harem.
So, where did Ye Hanting go that night and who was he with?
......
Lan Yi watched his master saving people in secret, and he complained in his heart: his master's behavior today was different from usual. First, he saved the fallen prince, and then he stayed up at night to follow the prince.
Lan Yi raised his eyebrows. Could it be that his master wanted to kill him?
That cowardly prince isn't worth the master's effort. Chu Li is useless except for his good looks.
Lan Yi thought of a possibility and his head suddenly exploded. No way, could it be that the master likes men!
But didn’t the master slept with a woman that night? So it seems that the master’s orientation is not very clear!
Lan Yi comforted himself in his heart, perhaps his idea was too outrageous.
Chu Li sneaked back to his residence and when he passed by his uncle Mu Feng's courtyard gate, he saw Mu Feng practicing sword alone under the moonlight.
His hair danced with the cold light of the sword and his posture was upright.
Chu Li folded her arms and sighed: I have to admit that the bodies of these three men are really amazing, otherwise she would not have judged from their height, body shape, age and jaw line that she might have slept with one of them.
Suddenly, her eyes were flashed by a strong light, and a cold air approached. In the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword was in front of her, and it stopped suddenly when it was about to pierce her neck.
"Your Highness!"
Mu Feng's arm veins popped out, and he angrily retracted his sword, "You're not sleeping in the middle of the night to watch people practice swordsmanship, do you want to die?"
Chu Li coughed dryly, "I can't sleep after changing the bed, so I'm walking around."
Mu Feng was sweating from practicing sword skills, so he simply took off his shirt.
Chu Li is a man, so Mu Feng took off his clothes quite naturally.
The uncle had a really nice figure. Chu Li pretended to be frank and took a look at him. Just this one look made Chu Li's pupils dilate.
There are scratches on my uncle's arm from his fingernails.
Chu Li deliberately turned behind him and saw the nail marks on his back.
Oh my god, the blind box is opened!
The man she slept with that night was actually her uncle, not Pei Ye!
Mu Feng turned around and patted Chu Li on the shoulder, "You are too thin. Eat more recently, otherwise how can you win the autumn hunt!"
When it comes to winning, Mu Feng loses all confidence.
Chu Li's fingers trembled slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle."
After saying this, she left quickly.
After Chu Li left, Mu Feng smelled the scent of gardenia in the yard and sneezed twice uncontrollably.
"While the prince is still awake, send these pots of gardenias to his residence."
"Yes, young master." The servant realized that the young master couldn't stand the smell of gardenias. He would feel itchy all over when he smelled it, so he went to do it immediately.
......
As soon as Chu Li returned to her residence, she heard Bing Xia say that Mu Feng's servant came to deliver something to her.
When she saw several pots of blooming gardenias, her defenses were completely broken.
"Your Highness's uncle is the best to you. He knows that you like flowers, so he sends you flowers in the middle of the night." Bingxia leaned over and smelled them, her face full of joy.
Chu Li frowned, Mu Feng was really playing a trick on her. On the surface, he told her: You can have any woman you want, why bother implicate her.
Even though he did such crazy and unruly things in private, he still looked like a gentleman.
Chu Li's pupils trembled. Did her uncle already know that she was a girl? Otherwise, why would he send her flowers?
What a straight male aesthetic, they even give away a basin!
Chu Li was not in the mood to think about this matter anymore. Since Mu Feng was from his grandfather's family, it would be easier to deal with.
After all, he was the adopted son of his grandfather and would not put her to death.
As long as he didn't mention what happened that night, she would pretend it never happened.
"Bingxia, I have to go out tomorrow and I need some silver."
"How much silver does Your Highness want?" Bingxia arranged the gardenias and turned to look at Chu Li.
"About ten thousand taels."
"What?" Bing Xia was extremely shocked. "Your Highness, how can you have so much money?"
Chu Li had a puzzled look on his face, "How can a prince like me not even have 10,000 taels of silver?"
Bing Xia curled her lips and said, "Your Highness, you secretly use your monthly salary to help the poor people, and only one hundred taels of silver are left."
Chu Li remembered that the original owner was a kind and good girl, but it was a pity that she was born in an imperial family.
How can a prince without money win the hearts of the people?
Fortunately, she has a way to make money.
Chu Li stretched out his hand, and Bing Xia reluctantly gave the hundred taels of silver in her arms to Chu Li.
"Your Highness, you'd better save some money. You are the poorest person now." Bingxia reminded weakly, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"I understand." Chu Li saw the clear stupidity in Bingxia's eyes. After observation, he found that this girl was quite good.
The next morning, Chu Li went out and came back with one thousand taels of silver.
Bingxia's mouth opened wide, she was so moved that she almost cried, "Your Highness, you finally figured it out, and finally saw the return of money."
“There will be more later.”
Chu Li sent Bing Xia away, took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, took out a silver needle of very ordinary quality, looked at it, and thought to himself: I'll just use it for now.
She found the black market and sold the poison powder extracted from king cobras, and also bought some materials for making poison.
After all, the autumn hunt is not just a competition. Someone might want to take her life by taking the opportunity!
"What is your highness doing with the silver needle?"
Suddenly, a voice came from inside the room, and Chu Li subconsciously clenched the silver needle.
