Chapter 395 Tell the truth
Lan Yi had already said so much and decided not to hide it anymore.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yaohua brought the Black Gold Guards to look for the master, and they went back together."
"Originally, I was going to go with my master, but after leaving the capital, my master was worried about you and the young master, so he asked me to come back to protect you privately."
Chu Li's heart ached, his nose felt sore, and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes.
It turned out that the woman was Princess Yaohua.
She misunderstood Ye Hanting.
He chose to face it alone because he was worried that she would take risks with him.
Her heart has already been given to Ye Hanting, so how could she just stand by and watch?
......
Chu Li and Lan Yi came to the Taifu Mansion together.
Ye Hanting concealed the fact that he was leaving, so he must have made other arrangements.
She asked Lan Yi, "What else did he do?"
Lan Yi opened the secret room and Chu Li saw several large boxes.
"The master left all his belongings to you. He said that if he can't come back within six months, he will give them to you."
Chu Li opened a box, took a look, and closed it angrily.
She had difficulty breathing and felt a tightness in her chest.
Land deeds, silver bills, rare treasures...
Ye Hanting took nothing with him and was prepared for the possibility of death.
Lan Yi fell to his knees with a thud.
He was really anxious, and he was worried every day that his master was away.
"Your Majesty, please go and help the master."
Even if his master came back and might punish him severely, he would accept it.
"I am too selfish. I am too worried about my master's safety. Someone has wanted to kill him since he was ten years old. That person hid himself so deeply..."
It was the first time that Chu Li saw such strong emotional fluctuations in Lan Yi's eyes.
"Your Majesty, the master has long been in love with you. When you left the capital, the master quietly sent people to protect you and eliminate assassins. He knew that the two young masters were in the Sixth Prince's mansion, and he quietly escorted you into the mansion every time. During the Lantern Festival, he secretly sent you and the children lanterns. When you went to Tianwu Mountain, he had people prepare a sword in advance. In order to get to the border to see you as soon as possible, he had a fever attack on the way. After taking the detoxification pill, he cut several wounds on his arm to stay awake..."
Chu Li's heart was beating wildly as she listened to what Ye Hanting did for her.
The tears that I had held back all night fell from my eyes.
She never knew that Ye Hanting actually did these things secretly.
Before he left, he deliberately acted unreasonably and got angry with her just to prevent her from looking for him.
"You get up first." Chu Li looked at the things Ye Hanting left behind, his voice trembling, "I don't want his things."
After saying that, she left.
Lan Yi lowered his eyes. He had already said so much, but the mistress still refused to forgive the master?
He stood up, closed the door of the secret room, and saw Chu Li leaving the Taifu Mansion quickly.
Chu Li noticed that someone was following her.
Instead of going home, she pretended to return to the palace.
Halfway through, she pressed the dagger against the man's lower back.
"Pei Ye, are you following me?"
Pei Ye saw Chu Li's disappointed look, and he explained: "It was the Queen Mother's people who wanted to follow you, and I stopped them. Can you tell me what you were doing in that villa?"
He saw Chu Li enter a house not far from Ye Hanting's house.
The place was heavily guarded and protected by many experts, who quickly detected his presence.
Then he saw Chu Li went to the Bronze Sparrow Tower and met Lan Yi.
It turns out that Ye Hanting sets off fireworks on Chu Li’s birthday every year.
Judging from Chu Li’s expression, she really likes Ye Hanting.
Chu Li put away the dagger, and they returned to the palace together.
After closing the door, Chu Li said, "Pei Ye, I know you won't hurt me, but the Empress Dowager won't think so."
After she ascended the throne, Shu Guifei became the Empress Dowager, in charge of all matters big and small in the harem.
The Empress Dowager became the Grand Empress Dowager. On the surface, she said she was not in charge of the affairs of the palace, but in fact, she intervened in everything.
Pei Ye reminded Chu Li, "Tianyin Pavilion is the institution set up by the Empress Dowager to supervise the officials for Emperor Qingyuan, and it is now being rebuilt."
Chu Li looked directly into Pei Ye's eyes, "I know."
Pei Ye was a little surprised, and Chu Li continued: "I also know that her niece is pregnant with Emperor Qingyuan's child."
Pei Ye stopped talking.
"Pei Ye, I don't want to be your enemy. I know she has given you a new life and has carefully nurtured you in the hope that you will become a sharp blade in her hands."
"I know." Pei Ye smiled bitterly.
Chu Li looked at him firmly, "Pei Ye, follow me. I will let you sit firmly in the position of the commander of the imperial army with your own ability without relying on anyone else."
"Chu Chu..." Pei Ye's eyes gradually became hot.
"Chu Chu is dead, and I am the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom." Chu Li's voice was extremely calm.
Pei Ye's eyes suddenly became sad.
"Pei Ye, I can't respond to you. I already have someone I like in my heart."
"Is it Ye Hanting?" Pei Ye looked lonely.
Chu Li nodded, "It's him."
"You don't like me at all..." Pei Ye stared at Chu Li with red eyes, holding her wrist and pulling her closer.
Their breaths intertwined, their lips close together.
Pei Ye's heart was beating wildly.
Chu Li's expression was cold, and his words were like a knife stabbing into his heart.
"Pei Ye, my heart can't hold so many people."
"Maybe Chuchu likes you, but not me. I don't want to lie to you. I don't have any feelings for you."
Chu Li felt Pei Ye's hand holding her wrist trembling.
Today, no matter how crazy he is, he must be honest.
"Pei Ye, my body is resisting you..."
Pei Ye's hand on Chu Li gradually loosened, and he felt Chu Li's resistance.
The person her heart and body love is Ye Hanting.
He turned around, his back to Chu Li, the corners of his narrow eyes were red. After his tears fell, he left only a lonely back to Chu Li.
Chu Li walked to the front of the table and placed the bracelet in the brocade box.
From now on, Pei Ye should have given up completely.
......
When the Empress Dowager learned that her niece was pregnant, she was extremely happy and lit a stick of incense in front of the Buddhist shrine.
"Amitabha, may our ancestors bless us."
A confidant reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has reappointed the former Prime Minister Li Yu'an!"
The Queen Mother placed her fingers on the Buddhist beads and her face suddenly turned cold.
She looked at the nanny and said, "Change my clothes."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Jinluan Palace.
Chu Li was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne, and he already had the temperament of an emperor.
All the ministers stood respectfully.
The ministers looked at the former Prime Minister Li Yu'an.
He stood in the front row in his red official uniform. The respected old minister had returned.
"Your Majesty, I, Li Yu'an, greet you!"
As Li Yu'an finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's voice came, "Your Majesty, I don't agree."
