Chapter 397 Shameless
Chu Li looked back and saw Pei Ye holding the reins of the horse, looking at her with a haggard face.
She sighed, got out of the carriage wearing a veil, a red dress and a white cloak.
When Pei Ye saw her coming, his eyes were like those of an abandoned little wolfhound, but a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He dismounted.
Chu Li was wearing women's clothes, and he had only seen her profile before.
This is the first time I have seen her wearing women's clothes at such a close distance.
Even if she only wore a veil, it was difficult to hide her beautiful face.
Pei Ye's heartbeat quickened when he heard Chu Li say coldly, "Didn't I tell you clearly that I don't like you? Why are you following me?"
Pei Ye looked at her with red eyes, "I accept that you don't like me, but it doesn't stop me from liking you."
Chu Li took two steps back, "Pei Ye, I order you to go back!"
In private, she seldom uses the word "朕" in front of acquaintances, as she always feels it is too pretentious.
Except in the court, there are times when he needs to use his status as emperor to suppress others.
Pei Ye looked at her deeply.
Then he mounted his horse and rode away.
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and the group headed towards the Great Xia Kingdom.
When they arrived at the border to guard the city, they were stopped.
Chu Li took out the pass, and the city guard said respectfully: "It turns out that you are the miracle doctor sent by His Majesty the Great Chu to treat the Queen Mother. Please let me in."
Chu Li was about to get on the carriage when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Don't go..."
She turned around suddenly and saw Pei Ye looking at her with a sad face, "Madam, why don't you take your husband with you when you go to Daxia?"
Chu Li was confused. Pei Ye was shameless, wasn't he? He was even acting.
Pei Ye looked at the people guarding the city, "My wife is a great doctor of the Great Chu State, and I am just a cowardly and incompetent man. Apart from liking her, I can't do anything to help her. No wonder she left me."
The people guarding the city whispered to each other, "Look, her husband's shoes are worn out, and he has been chasing her all the way from Da Chu."
"That's right. That's why they say that if a woman is too capable, she will abandon her husband."
"How pitiful! The miracle doctor is so beautiful. If it were me, I wouldn't give up either!"
"It's rare to see such sincerity..."
Chu Li really didn't want to take Pei Ye with her, so she said coldly, "I don't know him."
After saying this, she was about to get on the carriage.
Pei Ye's tears fell, "She is my wife, she has a birthmark on her ankle."
He looked at Chu Li with disappointment in his eyes, "For you, I have been sleepless for several days without a drop of water, I..."
As soon as Pei Ye finished speaking, he fainted.
Chu Li widened his eyes. Pei Ye was such a good actor.
The guards couldn't bear to watch, "Divine Doctor, please take your husband with you. It's rare to find such an infatuated man in the world."
As a man, he felt a little sympathetic towards this man.
Chu Li squatted down, turned his back to the people guarding the city, pinched Pei Ye's arm to see if he was still pretending.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ye didn't react at all.
He really fainted!
Chu Li gritted his teeth, Pei Ye is really great.
She looked at the shadow guard and said, "Take him to the car."
The man guarding the city smiled and said, "Girl, it takes a hundred years to be able to ride on the same boat with you, and a thousand lifetimes to be able to sleep on the same pillow with you. Cherish the one in front of you!"
Chu Li smiled awkwardly, and the convoy entered the city.
She looked at Pei Ye who was sleeping in the carriage. Pei Ye was too cruel to himself. He really didn't eat or drink for several days, and his cheeks had become much thinner.
She pinched his cheek, fed him a recovery pill, and gave him some water.
When they arrived at the next city, Pei Ye finally woke up in the inn.
He opened his tired eyes and saw Chu Li's stunning face. He was stunned for a moment and even forgot to breathe.
Chu Li looked at him unhappily, "When you go back, just wait for your punishment."
Pei Ye smiled indulgently, "Okay."
Chu Li warned: "Just follow us and don't go anywhere, especially when we get to the Imperial City."
Pei Ye nodded obediently, "I'll listen to you."
"Eat." Chu Li pointed at the table with his finger, and Pei Ye saw a bowl of noodles on the table.
He stood up and sat down, and finished eating in a short while.
He raised his head and looked at Chu Li pitifully, "Anything else?"
"Wait." Chu Li went out.
Pei Ye's smile deepened. So what if Chu Li liked Ye Hanting?
Aren’t you still not married?
Then he still has a chance.
Anyway, it’s not easy to get him to give up.
Chu Li had a bowl of noodles brought in, and Pei Ye looked at her and made a suggestion.
"You see, the people guarding the city know that you have a husband. It will be safer for you to take me with you, and your identity will not be easily suspected."
"What do you think...my wife." Pei Ye smiled brightly. Just calling her "wife" twice could make him happy.
"Stop shouting." Chu Li slapped him on the shoulder.
Pei Ye instantly fell on the table.
Chu Li sneered, "Just pretend."
Unexpectedly, Pei Ye's face turned pale with pain and he didn't respond.
Chu Li saw blood oozing from his shoulder.
Her pupils dilated, "I didn't use that much force, did I?"
Pei Ye pulled open his clothes and took a look, then smiled indifferently.
Chu Li found that his shoulders were covered with scars, "Pei Ye, who beat you?"
Pei Ye did not answer.
He also wants to save face.
Chu Li frowned and asked him, "Is it the Empress Dowager?"
Pei Ye stood up and said, "These are all trivial matters. You don't have to take them to heart."
"Is it because you stopped her people from following you many times to help me, and she punished you for that?"
Pei Ye was silent.
Chu Li gritted his teeth. What a witch! I’ll teach her a lesson when I get back!
"I'll ask the doctor to apply medicine for you." Chu Li was about to leave.
Pei Ye stopped her and said, "Don't forget, you are the Great Chu Divine Doctor. When you enter Da Xia, your every move will be monitored. If you ask the doctor to heal your husband, do you think they will tell the Emperor of Da Xia in advance?"
Chu Li calmed down and realized that the people of Daxia would regard them as spies.
"Alright, turn your back and take off your clothes!"
It’s not like I haven’t seen a man’s back before.
Pei Ye was secretly happy. He took off his shirt, sat down and leaned on the back of the chair.
Chu Li first helped him clean the wound, and then took out the ointment to apply it on him.
The wound felt painful and numb, and Pei Ye's ears turned red.
He pretended to be calm, this was fair. Chu Li also looked at Mu Feng's back, Ye Hanting's...
Chu Li probably had seen it a long time ago.
Chu Li looked at the shocking wounds. If they were not treated, they would turn into tetanus.
The Empress Dowager ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day, but her methods were cruel.
Each whip has barbs, how painful it must be.
Chu Li's body reacted with pain.
Pei Ye's back rose and fell with his breathing. He smelled the faint fragrance on Chu Li's body. His fingers accidentally touched his skin and he reacted instantly.
His eyes were filled with lust and he suddenly stood up with his back to Chu Li.
"I want to be alone, please go out!"
