Chapter 398 Arriving at the Imperial City
Chu Li looked puzzled and didn't want to be treated.
Anyway, she had already helped Pei Ye clean up his wounds, and her ointment worked wonders.
Pei Ye's wound should heal soon.
Inside the house, Pei Ye lay on the bed to dry his wounds.
Chu Li's stunning face appeared in his mind, and her fragrance lingered in the air.
His Adam's apple rolled, the boiling blood made his breathing rapid, and he tried hard to suppress the desire in his body.
Chu Li doesn't like him, he won't treat her like that.
Mu Feng was right about one thing: it was his business that he liked Chu Li, but whether Chu Li liked him or not was her business.
He would try his best to be rational and restrained and stay by her side.
What if Ye Hanting is an unreliable man?
There must be someone by Chu Li's side to protect her.
Why couldn't that person be him!
So, no matter what, he will not give up easily.
......
Da Chu Imperial Palace.
Mu Feng stood in the cold wind feeling disappointed. Chu Li just left without saying a word.
Nor did he tell him where he went.
He was recuperating and was the last person to know about Chu Li's incognito visit.
Ye Hanting left, and Chu Li also left.
Did she go to find Ye Hanting?
He walked into the plum garden and saw Princess Chu Xing, wearing bright yellow clothes. She had climbed up a tree and was picking plum blossoms.
She faced the wind and snow, her nose tip was frozen red, her hands were frozen red, but she had a bright smile on her face.
The palace maid under the tree was very nervous.
"Princess, Princess, be careful!"
If the Empress Dowager knew about this, she would definitely scold me again.
Chu Xing shook the snow off the plum blossoms towards them. The snow flakes fell down and got into the collars of the palace maids. They smiled and dispersed.
Chu Xing smiled brightly, her face full of confidence, "I have been climbing this plum tree since I was a child, what am I afraid of!"
Having said that, she climbed up again.
"Princess, please come down quickly. I'm scared!"
Chu Xing threw the plum blossom in his hand to the palace maid and continued to climb up.
She knows every tree trunk intimately and is very confident.
Mu Feng looked at her, what a little child she really was. Her innocent look instantly made his worries disappear.
No wonder the elders in the palace dote on her.
Suddenly, there was a click.
The trunk of the old tree broke and Chu Xing fell screaming.
Finished!
I’m going to get hurt!
She would fall heavily to the ground, she closed her eyes in horror.
Accompanied by the screams of the palace maids.
Mu Feng caught her using Qinggong, and snowflakes flew around the two of them.
Chu Xing fell into someone's strong arms and she suddenly opened her eyes.
The sunlight was dazzling, and snowflakes fell on the man's long eyelashes. He was a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
Chu Xing covered her eyes with her hands and saw clearly the person who saved her.
"Uncle!" she blurted out.
She and Chuchu played together when they were young, and at that time they both called Mu Feng "Uncle".
"General Mu, Mu!" Chu Xing found himself hugging Mu Feng tightly and immediately let him go.
Mu Feng watched her falling and hugged her tightly again.
Chu Xing saw Mu Feng’s handsome face up close and felt his strong arms, and her face turned red instantly.
Mu Feng put her down quickly.
After Chu Xing stood firm, his eyes flickered, "Thank you, General Mu."
Mu Feng said seriously, "You have grown up, and the tree is old. Don't climb it next time."
"Yes, uncle... General Mu."
Whenever Mu Feng scolded someone, she felt a fear of being dominated by her elders like Chu Chu, and she instantly became incoherent.
She suddenly thought of something, "What gift did General Mu give to the woman he liked?"
Mu Feng has been living in the palace for some time and can see Chu Xing from time to time.
Chu Xing and Chu Chu had a good relationship. One day, he couldn't help but ask Chu Xing what kind of gift the woman liked.
Mu Feng replied somewhat awkwardly, "I gave her a dagger."
"That's it?" Chu Xing was surprised.
"Yeah." Mu Feng nodded honestly.
"General Mu, most women won't like your gift. You can give her some hairpins, handkerchiefs, purses, bracelets or delicious food..."
After saying this, she couldn't help but stick out her pink tongue. These were all her favorites.
What woman doesn’t like it!
"Thank you, Princess." Mu Feng silently kept these in his heart.
Chu Xing saw him eager to leave and suddenly felt that General Mu had a good figure and handsome features.
I wonder what kind of girl he likes?
She looked at the frightened maids in a good mood and said, "Let's go over there."
"Your Highness, do you still want to climb a tree?"
Chu Xing pointed to the shorter tree and said, "That tree is in its prime. Go, go, go, quickly!"
No one understands her happiness!
It would be nice if Chuchu was here so I could play with her.
It's a pity that she went on a secret visit. It will be spring when she comes back.
......
After walking for five days, Chu Li and his group finally arrived at the imperial city of the Great Xia Kingdom.
She looked at the magnificent imperial city and the prosperous life of the people under the white snow.
Daxia Kingdom is indeed the strongest country on this continent.
She got off the carriage wearing a veil, and Pei Ye followed behind her.
Suddenly, guards came riding at full speed, clearing the way and shouting, "Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Chu Li was familiar with this operation. It should be some urgent information that needed to be sent out of the city.
Unexpectedly, the guards shouted, "Princess Yu, the princess is leaving the city, everyone else please get out of the way!"
When Chu Li heard the words "Princess Yu", he immediately looked towards the tall and magnificent carriage.
I saw a graceful lady wearing a fox fur coat, with a pretty girl sitting beside her.
Her eyes brightened. They must be Ye Hanting's mother and sister, right?
The sound of the whip was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the whip was raised high and fell heavily, and the horse's hoof knocked over the stall.
Chu Li's face looked grim. People in high positions could never understand the suffering of people at the bottom.
The hawker had his frozen goods knocked over, but he was angry but dared not say anything.
Jun Anrou looked at the vendor picking up frozen fish on the ground with disdain. It was true that anyone could appear in the imperial city.
Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Great Xia Imperial City if something with such a strong fishy smell appeared on the streets?
A despicable person like this deserves to have his stall knocked over.
She urged the groom, "Hurry up, they are blocking the princess's way, drive them away!"
The coachman raised his whip and began to whip the street vendors.
Princess Yu and Jun Anrou went together to burn incense and pray to Buddha to get rid of their bad luck.
She comforted him, "Rou'er, mother knows that you are in a bad mood. It was not easy for your father to let you out to relax. You should be careful outside and don't let people think that we, Prince Yu's Mansion, are bullying you."
Jun Anrou said willfully: "This princess is in a bad mood, and they are still blocking my way here, they deserve it!"
Chu Li looked at Ye Hanting's mother and sister with disappointment.
Are they such people?
The coachman suddenly saw a beautiful woman in front of him and instantly became lustful.
Anyway, he has the princess and the queen to take care of him, so he is not afraid of anything.
He raised his whip, ready to knock off the beauty's veil.
See what she looks like?
The coachman whipped his horse and came towards Chu Li.
