Chapter 185 He put his arm around Chu Li’s shoulders
Zhu Qunying comforted her, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. Your brother is so powerful. No one in the court dares to challenge him. Even if someone finds out about you, no one dares to touch you."
Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "But they are Chu Li and Ye Hanting. Chu Li is no longer afraid of me, and Ye Hanting is even less afraid of me. Even if my brother supports me, I don't know if the two of them will give my brother face!"
Zhu Qunying helped her massage her shoulders. "You worry too much. I am very careful in my actions. Now you just need to take good care of yourself and work hard to gain the favor of His Majesty. This is more important than anything else."
Concubine Rong leaned in Zhu Qunying's arms, "Okay, I believe you and will listen to you."
Behind her, Zhu Qunying silently restrained his smile and his eyes became dark.
......
Zhu Qunying went to meet someone privately.
"Master, according to your instructions, Concubine Rong has taken the bait."
The man replied expressionlessly: "Go ahead, don't meet me unless necessary."
Zhu Qunying said respectfully: "Yes, Master."
......
The next morning, Chu Li returned to the East Palace.
She couldn't be outside every night, otherwise if she was followed, the two children would be in danger if they were discovered.
The disappearance case of the eight children is being investigated throughout the city, but there have been no discoveries or progress.
Chu Li saw Pei Ye who was leading a patrol. He had returned from Luyu County.
Kong Wu reminded: "Your Highness, Commander Pei is responsible for the security of the imperial city and has also intervened in the case."
Chu Li frowned, wondering if Pei Ye would cause trouble.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince looks good!" Pei Ye's eyes fell on Chu Li's face.
Chu Li's face is very similar to Chu Chu's, especially since he hasn't seen Chu Li for so long, his appearance seems to have changed a little.
She looks more like Chu Chu when she was a child.
Chu Li didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned around to go in.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ye suddenly came over and blocked her way.
Pei Ye looked at Chu Li carefully.
Especially when he looked at his profile, he discovered that Chu Li looked like the woman he saw by the hot spring that day!
If he hadn't seen Chu Chu die with his own eyes, he would have really thought that the person in front of him was Chu Chu.
Chu Li felt uneasy when he was staring at her, and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
Pei Ye took another step forward, and Chu Li subconsciously stepped back.
Pei Ye said with interest: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is investigating a case. Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?"
Chu Li looked at Pei Ye who was deliberately provoking him, and answered firmly, "You won't. I dare not talk about other cases, but you won't mess up this case!"
Pei Ye looked cynical, but he would definitely try his best in this case of searching and rescuing the child.
Pei Ye was stunned. Chu Li actually believed that he would not cause trouble.
Only Chuchu believed that he was a good man.
His cynical smile froze on his face and he looked at Chu Li quietly.
Suddenly, his hand was raised slightly, and just when it was about to touch Chu Li's cheek, there was a whoosh sound.
A stone shot over from not far away and injured Pei Ye's hand.
Pei Ye looked over and saw Ye Hanting withdrew his hand.
Chi Yan just had to bite the bullet and take the blame, pretending that he was the one who flicked the stone.
"Master Taifu, your ghost is still haunting us." Pei Ye shook his injured hand and looked at Ye Hanting.
Chu Li looked back at Ye Hanting, why is sir here?
Moreover, his expression was extremely ugly, as if he had a grudge against Pei Ye.
"I am the prince's teacher. You can come whenever you want." Ye Hanting glanced at Pei Ye with disdain.
When Pei Ye saw Ye Hanting confronting him, he suddenly hugged Chu Li's shoulders from behind.
"When I was a child, I bathed and slept with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We were as close as brothers. How does this relationship compare to that of the Grand Tutor?"
He knew that Ye Hanting had special feelings for Chu Li, so he wanted to deliberately provoke Ye Hanting and make him angry even though he was usually calm and composed.
Ye Hanting's eyes were fixed on Pei Ye's hand around Chu Li's shoulders, and he seemed to be burning with anger.
Before he could make a move, Chu Li suddenly bent Pei Ye's wrist, and Pei Ye let go in pain.
Chu Li said coldly: "Commander Pei, please leave quickly. The Eastern Palace does not welcome you!"
Pei Ye sneered, "You say one thing and mean another, playing hard to get, this commander likes it."
After saying that, he turned his back to the two of them, waved and left.
"Sorry, sir, I embarrassed you." Chu Li apologized to Ye Hanting on behalf of his childhood friend who had embarrassed himself.
Ye Hanting felt unhappy. One was his childhood sweetheart, and the other was his uncle. They both knew Chu Li's past very well and had been involved in her life.
Only he, who had the identity of Mr. Chu Li, was very distant from her.
He said coldly: "What is your relationship with Pei Ye? Why are you apologizing to me on his behalf?"
Chu Li was speechless.
Yes, she thought Pei Ye was her childhood friend, but Pei Ye didn't seem to think so.
On the surface, they are incompatible.
She became stupid for three years after she got pregnant and forgot that she was still a man.
Ye Hanting was in a bad mood. Originally, he came to teach Chu Li today, but he really was not in the mood.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Chu Li was left standing there in a daze.
These men are so hard to please!
If you say something wrong, you will get angry.
Especially recently Ye Hanting has become an uncle, with such a bad temper!
Love whoever you want, I won’t serve you anymore!
Chu Li snorted coldly and went into the house.
After Ye Hanting left, he returned to the mansion, wrote a memorial and handed it to Lan Yi.
"Send it to the palace."
"Yes, master." Lan Yi did as he was told immediately.
Chi Yan looked at his master's gloomy eyes and knew that he was really angry this time.
Who made Pei Ye say today that he and the prince took baths and slept in the same bed when they were children?
The master would never tolerate such deliberate provocation.
It seems that Commander Pei is going to be in trouble this time.
