Chapter 160 He held Chu Li's hand from behind
Chu Li had no choice but to sit next to Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting's evil plan succeeded. He suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Stretch out your hand."
Chu Li did as she was told. Ye Hanting approached her gently from behind and held her hand from behind.
His voice rang in Chu Li's ears, "Do you know how to finger?"
Ye Hanting's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. Chu Li's hands felt soft and she felt a little embarrassed.
In Ye Hanting's eyes, he was a man, and it was nothing for them to be naked facing each other even if they slept in the same bed or even bathed in the same bathtub, let alone simply teaching her the art of playing the piano like this.
But she was a woman, and she was really a little nervous when Ye Hanting hugged her like this.
If Ye Hanting accidentally touched her upper body or belly, wouldn't it be exposed?
She sat up stiffly, keeping a distance from Ye Hanting.
"Sir, I am a stupid student. I'd better not learn it. I don't think I can remember the fingering after studying for a whole night."
Ye Hanting originally just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her, but he didn't expect Chu Li to be so resistant.
He suddenly felt strange because there were clearly traces of occasional playing on Chu Li's guqin.
Why did Chu Li say she couldn’t remember the fingering?
And her outstanding performance in the past few months, compared to before, it's like she's completely a different person.
Could it be that Chu Li is not the same Chu Li, but a different person!
When did that start?
Ye Hanting was a little panicked. Did it start from that night, or was it that he slept with the past Chu Li that night?
Ye Hanting was upset.
If Chu Li had changed, he would hope that the person that night would be the current Chu Li, not the one from the past.
Ye Hanting wanted to ask her, but he was afraid that Chu Li would be frightened by his words and leave the capital and never come back.
He stood up and looked at Chu Li seriously.
"If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. But when you go out to play this time, you must bring me a gift when you come back. If you forget, no matter how sweet your words are in the future, I will not choose to help you again."
Chu Li's eyes rolled around. She would probably be gone for half a year, so it was not certain whether she would remember him by then.
But how could she refuse such a small request? She promised solemnly, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring you a gift."
Ye Hanting raised his eyebrows. It’s only been half a month. This girl shouldn’t have forgotten about it.
Chu Li looked outside and saw that it was already dark, so it was time to start her performance.
She opened the book, scribbled on it, then leaned over the table and looked at Ye Hanting, "Okay, sir, I'm dizzy. You can let Nanzhou come over now."
"Lie down on the couch. You'll have more room to move around."
Ye Hanting reminded.
Chu Li got up and lay on the couch, with props prepared in his sleeves.
Seeing that she was extremely cooperative, Ye Hanting smiled and knocked on the door with his fingers. Lan Yi immediately went to call someone.
When Chi Yan saw the door open, he bowed to Chu Li, who was lying on the couch, and apologized sincerely.
"Your Highness, I misunderstood you before. I apologize."
Chu Li was lying on the bed when she saw Chi Yan bowing to her twice. She quickly said, "Okay, okay, you can send me away with three bows."
Chi Yan's body stiffened, he smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head, "Your Highness is such a good person, he will surely be blessed with fortunes as vast as the East Sea, live as long as the Southern Mountains, and leave a name for thousands of years, bringing glory to future generations!"
Chu Li stared at Chi Yan in silence. I wonder if this kid can say auspicious words.
After the elegiac couplets were read to her, they simply covered the body with a white cloth, started playing suona, and were ready to have their meal.
Today, she must die?
"Shut up!" Ye Hanting glanced at Chi Yan.
Chi Yan pursed his lips. Did he say something wrong in excitement?
He stammered, "Anyway, the prince can come to me if he has any problems in the future. Your business is Chiyan's business!"
Chu Li smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "Take a rest."
Chi Yan scratched his head and went out.
Soon, Du Nanzhou arrived at the location. Chu Li calculated the time and thought that his father should have received the news.
Du Nanzhou sat next to Chu Li, took out the diagnosis pad and placed it under her wrist. He wanted to take Chu Li's pulse.
Chu Li immediately withdrew his hand, "No need, I can do it myself."
Du Nanzhou's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air. He remembered that Chu Li's medical skills were better than his.
The three of them were sitting in the house. After hearing the signal from Lan Yi, Chu Li immediately stuffed something into his mouth.
Chu Li asked Bingxia to quickly apply some powder on her. Seeing her face getting paler, she lay there weakly. Du Nanzhou was writing a prescription beside her, and Ye Hanting was sitting beside her.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" came the voice of Eunuch Li.
The door was opened and Emperor Qingyuan entered the house surrounded by a group of palace servants.
He saw Chu Li lying there weakly and asked nervously, "Du Yuanpan, how is the prince's health?"
Du Nanzhou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has become ill due to overwork and needs to take good care of his body. He can no longer attend court meetings or preside over official duties in the near future."
Chu Li coughed twice at the right time, and the handkerchief was stained with blood.
She was so weak that she tried to stand up twice but failed. "Father, I cannot salute you."
Emperor Qingyuan looked at him in surprise. Chu Li's complexion was so bad, why did he suddenly cough up blood?
Ye Hanting said, "Your Majesty, His Highness has been either doing disaster relief or handling cases these days. He then served as regent and presided over the imperial examinations. During the imperial examinations, he did not get a full night's sleep. He was always patrolling the examination halls. He still insisted on reading and learning the guqin so late at night..."
Chu Li stretched out his hand to interrupt Ye Hanting, "Sir, please stop talking. These are what I should do. As a son, what is the point of not being able to share my father's worries... cough cough cough..."
"Okay, take a good rest." Emperor Qingyuan walked to Chu Li. When he thought about the fact that Chu Li secretly prepared music for his birthday banquet, and the fact that he went out to play and left Chu Li to govern the country, he suddenly felt guilty.
Ye Hanting looked at her superb acting skills and curled the corners of his lips slightly. This girl can really act.
Emperor Qingyuan turned around and looked at Ye Hanting, "Minister Ye is absolutely right. The Crown Prince really needs to have a good rest."
He asked Du Nanzhou, "What disease did the prince have, and why was he coughing up blood?"
