Chapter 95: Chest muscles, abdominal muscles, mermaid line...
Ye Hanting paused in unbuckling his belt as he caught a glimpse of Chu Li's interested eyes.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Ye Hanting felt hot and uncomfortable.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "We are all men, why are you shy, Master Taifu?"
Everyone has seen a shirtless man, why is Ye Hanting so petty?
Chu Li stared at him without changing his expression. Ye Hanting knew that Chu Li definitely had no bad intentions towards him.
He grabbed Chu Li's wrist and Chu Li fell on him.
She subconsciously supported herself on both sides of Ye Hanting's body with her arms, but saw Ye Hanting's hands hooked around her collar and spoke with a teasing look.
"Yes, we are all men, we can't let this Master take off his clothes alone!"
Chu Li was horrified and immediately held Ye Hanting's hand, saying sincerely: "No, no, no, Master, take it off. I will guard outside the gauze curtain."
Chu Li's hair fell on Ye Hanting's neck. The two looked at each other, and Ye Hanting saw her snow-white neck.
He let go of Chu Li and felt even hotter inside.
Chu Li was afraid that Ye Hanting would discover her female body, so she jumped away from Ye Hanting in an instant and considerately helped Ye Hanting pull the gauze curtain.
Ye Hanting unbuckled his belt and loosened his nightgown a little.
His bony hand reached out from behind the gauze curtain, "Your Highness, please wet the towel for me."
"Okay." Chu Li did as he was told.
She suddenly thought of a question and poked her head through the gauze curtain.
After Chu Li saw Ye Hanting's pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, and mermaid line, he instantly forgot what he was going to ask.
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Ye Hanting was shocked and Chu Li was completely confused.
Ye Hanting looked at her with her eyes glued to his waist, and he pulled up the clothes that were scattered on the side.
Chu Li: “…” You’ll make me look like a pervert if you do that.
She withdrew her gaze and admired in her heart, Master Taifu looked like a graceful and elegant lady, very abstinent, why was there such a big contrast when he took off his clothes?
His muscular lines don't make him look like a weak scholar. Chu Li stared into his eyes and asked, "Master Taifu, have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Ye Hanting said softly, "How can you get hurt tonight if you know martial arts?"
Chu Li suddenly thought of what he wanted to ask, "What did you do in the Imperial Study today?"
At this point, Ye Hanting no longer had any need to hide it from her. He said with cold eyes, "Investigate a wrongful case."
Chu Li understood that the last time Ye Hanting went to the Dali Temple's case library to check files was also to investigate a case.
The case that Ye Hanting wants to investigate should be a big case.
Plus, he mentioned before that his parents’ death anniversary is approaching, so it was probably about that incident.
If his parents were involved in a major case, he would not have been able to hold such a high position under the nose of his father.
In other words, Ye Hanting might have changed his identity.
Or maybe his name was real, and the person he wanted to help overturn the case had no apparent relationship with him.
Chu Li thought about the major cases in recent years.
It seemed that only the case of treason committed by Bai Zhenyuan and Mu Nanzhi and the case of embezzlement committed by Jiang Chengdong were enough to shock the government and the public at that time.
Chu Li thought secretly in his heart: Is the case that Ye Hanting wants to investigate related to this?
Otherwise, ordinary people’s cases would never be able to enter my father’s imperial study.
Since Ye Hanting didn't explain, she didn't need to ask, after all, it was his personal privacy.
Chu Li took the handkerchief from his hand, and Ye Hanting asked, "Aren't you curious about what the injustice was?"
Chu Li smiled slightly, "When you are willing to tell me, you will naturally let me know."
Ye Hanting's lips curled slightly. Chu Li was smart and knew her limits. He asked too much. Perhaps she already had a guess in her mind.
Suddenly his brows furrowed, his face turned pale instantly, and a layer of ice crystals gradually formed on his eyelashes.
Chu Li's eyes flickered. It seemed that the two poisons were colliding violently.
Fortunately, Ye Hanting took the antidote pill in time. Thanks to his early preparation, he controlled the spread of the poison, otherwise he would be suffering now.
"I'll ask someone to prepare some hot water. Please wait."
Ye Hanting looked unhappy. He didn't want Chu Li's people to find out that he was poisoned. "No!"
Chu Li said in embarrassment: "How can I use hot water to help you drive away the cold if no one is allowed in? Are you going to use the water I used?"
"it is good."
It was outrageous that Ye Hanting actually agreed.
Chu Li's face was full of question marks. Doesn't this man have mysophobia? How could this be accepted? She was almost unable to accept it.
"Help me up." Ye Hanting looked at her weakly, like a big golden retriever acting coquettishly.
Chu Li helped up the 1.9-meter-tall beauty Ye Hanting, letting his arm rest on her shoulders, and walked towards the bathtub.
Chu Li had just finished bathing, and the water was still hot. Ye Hanting glanced at her and said, "Your Highness, why aren't you leaving yet? Are you going to bathe with me?"
Chu Li: “…” Well, the label of pervert cannot be removed from Ye Hanting.
"Sir, you're welcome. I'm outside. Call me if you need anything."
Chu Li helped Ye Hanting draw the gauze curtain. She walked to the bed and was so sleepy that she fell asleep without realizing it.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Hanting came out of the bathtub with a ruddy face. His nightgown was stained with blood. He just found the clothes he lent to Chu Li many days ago hanging in the house, so he put them on.
He walked towards the bed and saw Chu Li lying on the bed with his legs spread out, sound asleep.
His beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Is Chu Li heartless, or is he so sure that he can cure him that he can sleep so peacefully?
Chu Li turned over and she felt Ye Hanting coming towards her.
But she couldn't show that she was alert, so she pretended to talk in her sleep, muttering to herself: "Pig's trotters are delicious, delicious..."
Ye Hanting shook his head and chuckled. It was good to have someone like her who could eat and sleep well.
He checked his wound again and found that the bleeding had stopped.
Chi Yan imitated the cuckoo's voice to tell him that Mu Feng was not there at the moment.
Ye Hanting covered Chu Li with a quilt, handed a nightgown to Chi Yan at the window, and then went out through the main door.
"Master Taifu." The imperial guards saluted.
Ye Hanting nodded arrogantly as always and left.
Chu Li, lying on the bed, fell asleep peacefully only after he was sure that Ye Hanting had left.
The next morning, Chu Li saw a large plate of pig's trotters on the dining table.
Which nice person would eat so much so early in the morning?
Ever since Chi Yan knew that his master had not forgotten about overturning the verdict and still put the overall situation first, he no longer targeted Chu Li.
Besides, his master was poisoned yesterday and it was Chu Li who covered it up.
He smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is what the master asked me to buy for you!"
Chu Li responded with an awkward but polite smile.
Mu Feng, who had not slept all night, looked tired. He and the imperial guards had been busy all night.
Chu Li asked, "Uncle, you look tired. Have you found the assassin?"
Mu Feng shook his head, "No, but the assassin was poisoned and couldn't run far. It is said that the poison in the assassin was made by Commander Pei with six kinds of poisons. Unless we find a miracle doctor to treat him, ordinary antidotes are useless. I'm afraid the assassin died last night. The imperial guards are investigating the entire city."
"Oh." Chu Li nodded.
The assassin Ye Hanting kicked her lightly under the table.
Chu Li scratched her head. She got close to the assassin and started a public execution. Did the assassin feel a little panicked? Hahaha, it felt good to tease Ye Hanting on purpose.
"Is there anything missing from father's study?" Chu Li continued to ask.
