Chapter 117 She Began to Suspicious of Ye Hanting
Chu Li let go of Ye Hanting and looked at him with surprise.
Ye Hanting stood up suddenly and turned his back to Chu Li.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry." He was about to leave after saying that.
Chu Li was stunned, watching Ye Hanting lift his long legs and jump lightly away from the window.
Chu Li stared blankly at Ye Hanting's tall and straight back.
She began to suspect that the man that night was not Mu Feng.
Why did she think of the man that night when Ye Hanting had physical contact with her?
She put her hand on her lower abdomen. Could it be that the baby in her belly was Ye Hanting's?
......
After Ye Hanting returned to his room, he called Chi Yan in.
Chi Yan nodded and said, "Master, don't worry. When you were in the imperial study just now, I put a cat in the corner in advance. They thought it was the cat that made the noise and didn't suspect anything."
"Got it." Ye Hanting looked at Chi Yan angrily, "Who told you to tell Du Nanzhou about what happened between me and that woman that night!"
Chi Yan scratched his head and said, "Master, I just want to let the old lady know that you are not a homosexual, to make her happy."
Chu Li quietly came to the outside of Ye Hanting's house and heard him scolding Chi Yan coldly.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you know that the old lady has always wanted to marry Yun Wanying to me?"
Chi Yan's eyes flickered. "That's great, Master. You two have been childhood sweethearts, and Miss Yun is the most talented woman in Jiangnan, as well as the most beautiful woman. I think they are a good match. It's better than you being with the Crown Prince every day."
Although he didn't like Yun Wanying very much, she was a beauty after all, and most importantly, she was a woman.
Ye Hanting said in a cold voice, "The prince is a man, what are you thinking about! Go and get five strokes of the cane. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily!"
Chu Li heard outside the window that the old lady in Ye Hanting's family was trying to match him up with a talented girl named Yun Wanying.
What did Chi Yan do before that made Ye Hanting so angry?
She heard Chi Yan open the door, so she quickly left and returned to the dormitory.
Ye Hanting said she was a man. It seemed that he didn't know what happened that night, let alone that he didn't know that she was a girl. She was just imagining things.
Chu Li shook her head and smiled helplessly. Having a child was like opening a blind box. She was not sure whose baby she was pregnant with yet.
It’s probably Mu Feng’s. We’ll know when the baby is born.
......
Ye Hanting glanced out the window. The person who just came must be Chu Li.
Chu Li seemed to have heard what they said just now.
Fortunately, she did not hear about Du Nanzhou.
He recalled the letters he saw in the imperial study.
The letter was a request for help written by the adoptive father to Emperor Qingyuan. The border was in a state of emergency after the battle of Changliu and urgently needed food and supplies.
He only saw these contents. His adoptive parents actually asked Emperor Qingyuan for help.
What happened to the brave army when they were tilling the land and guarding the border at the same time that made the always proud adoptive father ask Emperor Qingyuan for help?
Ye Hanting frowned. He thought he could find out who was secretly controlling everything behind the scenes and wanted to deal with the Brave Army.
As a result, it was still not found.
He once asked his former members of the Valiant Army why the two generals became traitors overnight.
Unfortunately, no one knows what really happened.
Ye Hanting rubbed his brows. After Chi Yan was beaten with a stick, he looked at his master outside the door.
He and Lan Yi followed their master since they were young. When they were ten years old, their master and the two of them almost died in the heavy snow.
If General Bai and General Mu had not passed by and saved the three of them, they would not exist in this world.
The old lady raised them and her kindness is as great as a mountain.
Fortunately, the old lady used the red-lettered iron certificate given to the Bai family by her ancestors to protect the other members of the Bai family.
He could best understand his master's desire to repay his gratitude. It seemed that his master still hadn't found the key clue to the treason case tonight.
Chi Yan rubbed his sore buttocks. Lan Yi was too cruel.
He limped away. Lan Yi stood outside Ye Hanting's door, looking through the window at Ye Hanting, who was holding his forehead with his hand and looked very worried.
"Master, you should go to bed early. The servant has prepared the bathing water."
Ye Hanting glanced at Lan Yi and waved at him.
Lan Yi approached, and Ye Hanting said, "Add more people to protect the old lady and make sure Qingzhu doesn't leave her alone."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Lan Yi took his leave.
Ye Hanting leaned back in his chair, resting his arms on the armrests, and looked up at the starry sky outside the window.
He no longer thinks about his life before the age of ten.
That wasn't his real home.
Although the Bai family has no blood relationship with him, every one of them is a family member.
He stood up and walked to the window unconsciously, leaned out of the window gently, and was fascinated by the scenery outside.
......
Chu Li originally wanted to close the window, but as she stood there, she was attracted by the scenery outside the window.
She looked at the sky that echoed the pond, with the stars reflected in the water. She sighed from the bottom of her heart: "After getting drunk, I didn't know the sky was in the water, and the boat was full of clear dreams overwhelmed the stars."
Ye Hanting's eyes lit up when he heard the poetry she recited.
After being drunk, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars!
After getting drunk, I forgot that the stars in the water were just reflections. The boat was filled with clear dreams that overwhelmed the galaxy.
What beautiful verses! It turns out Chu Li can write poetry!
He glanced sideways at Chu Li. He usually regarded himself as a gentleman, but he didn't expect that Chu Li was the most talented woman.
Even he could not write such extremely beautiful poems.
Chu Li recited Tang Gong's poems casually, which amazed Mu Feng who had just returned.
After being drunk, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars!
Mu Feng's heart was shocked, and the scene in front of him seemed to pour out from Chu Li's poems.
Mu Feng lamented that he had not discovered Chu Li had such outstanding talent over the years.
He suddenly frowned. When he went on night patrol just now, he was worried about whether Chu Li's illness had improved. He came back to see him because he was really worried. He didn't expect that Chu Li would stand in the wind like an idiot.
Chu Li was looking up at the stars and didn't notice that Mu Feng was looking at her angrily.
Her wrist was held by Mu Feng, and the next moment, under Ye Hanting's gaze, Mu Feng's other hand touched Chu Li's forehead.
Chu Li subconsciously stepped back. When Ye Hanting saw Mu Feng's intimate actions, he instantly felt a tightness in his chest.
"Aren't you having a fever? Why are you going to the window to get some cool air?" Mu Feng looked worried.
Chu Li reacted very quickly, her eyes suddenly widened, she stretched out her hands and walked straight into the house as if she didn't hear Mu Feng's words.
Mu Feng frowned, "Is this sleepwalking?"
Chi Yan watched from the dark as his master stared at Mu Feng's hand, and he couldn't hide the urge to kill him with a knife in his eyes.
He rubbed his butt and thought to himself: It’s over, the old love has rekindled!
Ye Hanting thought of the hot water bottle in the room and finally understood how Chu Li had tricked Mu Feng into believing he was sick.
Chu Li is really a little fox. He knew he was caught and pretended to sleepwalk and went back to sleep.
Mu Feng saw Ye Hanting standing at the window. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Taifu. The prince seems to be sleepwalking."
Ye Hanting smiled slightly, "Nothing, I just felt like someone was talking nonsense at the window."
Mu Feng was worried and wanted to go in to see if Chu Li had fallen asleep on the bed.
When Ye Hanting saw that he wanted to enter Chu Li's room, he quickly pushed open the door and strode out.
