Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 106

Finally, when Ling Wanshu was propping his head up and was about to fall asleep, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness is here."

Ling Wanshu stood up excitedly, at a loss.

Chu Li lifted the hem of the white jade robe and stepped over the threshold, his purple pupils were alluring, and he couldn't see the emotions inside, as deep as a mystery.

Seeing that Ling Wanshu was only wearing a white tunic, with loose hair, he frowned calmly, and then smiled again: "Why isn't the princess sleeping?"

Ling Wanshu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she was so hot that she had girlish feelings after all, so she said in a low voice, "Wait...wait for Your Highness."

Chu Li smiled, walked to a chair and sat down, not near or far from her, casually looked at the surrounding decorations, and asked, "Is the princess still used to living here?"

One sentence, one princess.

"It's very good here." Ling Wanshu nodded.

"Just get used to it." Chu Li smiled again, took a sip of the tea handed by the girl, and said, "I'm very curious, how did the princess know that it was the envoy of Fourth Sister when she returned to Xiangguo Mansion yesterday? If according to Wang Hao's words, you are locked up and cannot get out, and there is no one in the small black room, you should know nothing about it!"

Ling Wanshu raised his head, his eyes dodged, and he stammered: "Your Highness, it's... I know, I stayed there for three days, and people brought food every day. They told me that they are the people who live in the Seventh Prince's mansion now. It's that idiot Ling Qiaoye!"

With a crisp sound of "Ding--", the lid of the cup in Chu Li's hand slipped and fell to pieces on the ground. Ling Wanshu was shocked, but he raised his head, smiled, and put the cup in the other hand. He put the lamp on the table, as if he didn't care: "I see. Those people are a bit too courageous."

"That's right! I've eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!" Ling Wanshu echoed, and couldn't help saying what was in his heart: "Especially that Ling Qiaoye! How shameless! Don't even look at who you are, she……"

"Enough!" Chu Li's face sank, his voice was not loud, but it was already extremely gloomy, he stood up without looking at Ling Wanshu, "Since you have become the concubine of this king, you must be careful when you speak , what should be said and what should not be said, someone will come to teach you in a few days."

Lift your legs and walk towards the door.

"Your Highness!" Ling Wanshu called out anxiously, seeing Chu Li stop, her voice lowered: "Aren't you going to rest here at night?"

Chu Li's voice was cold: "No, I'm going to go north right away. The king still has some things to deal with. The princess should rest first. There's no need to wait."

After speaking, he lifted his legs and walked away.

Ling Wanshu pursed her lips, secretly annoyed, what did she do wrong?
But the depression was depression, and soon she was relieved, straightened her clothes, touched her hair, went to the dressing table, looked in the mirror, and smiled. Such a beauty, the more she looked at it, the more beautiful she felt. Will you not be tempted?In the past, not being tempted can be said to be reserved, but now that you are married, what is there to hesitate?
Maybe, he really has something to do tonight, and he will be fine tomorrow.

Chu Li left Tianxi Pavilion, but instead of going straight back to his bedroom, he turned a corner and walked along Juyan Lake. He stopped suddenly at the intersection of the fork, and his heart was filled with sorrow for a moment. ——

Go left and you will see Shaohua Building.Go to the right, it is Weimingju.No matter where it is, she can no longer be found.The right arm hurts deeply, from the shoulder to the wrist close to the back of the hand, leaving an irreversible scar, which fits perfectly with the wound in the heart.

There is no way to recover, step by step to the present, step by step to push her away, and finally to the point of letting her go.The current situation may not be the worst. The worst result is that she appears in front of him again, but he can only see it but not catch it. Even, there are other men around her.For example, Chu Mu.

Fortunately, Chu Mu is nothing to her now.She left Chu Mu even more decisively than treating him.

Chu Li's thoughts were completely confused, he didn't know what he was thinking, he couldn't tell the difference between gains and losses, cause and effect, remorse, and happiness, but he just found some reasons to support himself not to be overwhelmed by this extreme despair.

The most important things have been lost, what else can be distressed?

Chu Li glanced at Juyan Lake, but he didn't turn left or right, but turned around and walked back slowly.

Tomorrow, it's time to meet those people who tried to make him have nothing.He resorted to such a subterfuge, made his life frustrating, and made his beloved girl leave him forever. He will settle this kind of hatred with them one by one!

The next day, the Emperor of Chu suddenly promulgated an imperial decree. Because of the recent strange incidents in the capital of Chu, in order to maintain public order, the patrols and defenses in the city are now strengthened.

With this imperial decree, Chu Mu was stopped from going out of the city.

The Emperor Chu, who has always imposed no restrictions on the behavior of princes and grandchildren, issued this imperial decree equivalent to a foot ban without any warning, which made everyone in the capital of Chu very suspicious and speculated whether something big was about to happen.

However, the king's heart is unpredictable, the more he guesses, the more he will be surprised.

That night, it was Prince Chu Xiao's engagement banquet, so Chu Mu Chuli naturally had to go.

After all, it was His Royal Highness's engagement ceremony. Compared with Chu Li, the lively and grand scene was even worse.

Chu Mu's mind was not at the banquet, so he was a little sleepy. Although he tried his best to hide it, it was inevitable that some untimely loneliness and loneliness emanated from his body.

After Chu Xiao’s oath was finished, everyone echoed Daoxi, and Gu Yanyan thanked him humbly...Chu Mu didn’t listen attentively, and occasionally a word or two fell into his ears, but he couldn’t make a complete sentence, so he looked up inadvertently. Glancing at the high platform, he happened to find that Chu Huang's eyes were looking at him, faint, deep and indistinct.

Chu Mu was slightly startled, he didn't dare to retract his eyes, and he couldn't look directly at him, so he could only respectfully nod and salute him from a distance, without making any noise, and just and properly avoided his gaze.

However, obviously, what the emperor of Chu wants to say will always have a chance to say it, whether you dodge or not, admit it or not, the dominance of the emperor cannot be doubted.

"Dear dears, today is the day of the prince's engagement. I am very pleased that the emperor has found a beautiful woman, and she is the first female general of my Great Chu! Ten days later will be the wedding ceremony of the prince. At that time, I must be with you Let's have a drink together, dear friends! Haha, speaking of it, I have been having a lot of happy events recently. Li'er and Xiao'er have made important decisions for life, and I insist on having fun with the people. However, when there is joy, there is also worry. It is of course a good thing to be at ease , If you forget the dangers and sorrows, you will give the thieves an opportunity! What's more, I am located in the Central Plains, surrounded by many small countries, and the vast land and abundant resources are bound to be missed. Therefore, I promulgated the imperial decree , in order to give you a little warning, that being prepared for danger in times of peace is the way to govern the country." The smile on Chu Huang's face is still there, but it is just like a sign that is untrue, and no one thinks that what he said is true. Just kidding...

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone said in unison, their voices in unison.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chu Huang smiled even more, as if he was satisfied and happy, but when he spoke again, he brought the topic to Chu Mu: "Mu'er, do you understand?"

When he asked this, there was a faint uproar among the officials, and they all looked at Chu Mu.

Yes, at such an important moment, such an important matter, the first one that the Emperor Chu asked was not the prince, not Chu Qi, but that idle little prince who was carefree and chaotic?

Chu Li's purple pupils were deep, and he looked at Chu Mu calmly, frowning slightly.

Chu Xiao and Gu Yanyan stood on the high platform, clasped their hands, and looked very affectionate. Hearing Chu Huang's words, Chu Xiao glanced at Chu Mu, moved away, and met Fu Wanying's eyes again.

Chu Mu's amber eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly smiled, his voice was clear and pleasant as usual, and there was also some common cynicism: "Although Mu'er loves to play, she still knows how to measure when it comes to big things. Anyway, all the interesting things and all the well-beautiful beauties of Dachu have been gathered in the capital of Chu. Even if you don't go out of the city, you won't be too tired. Your Majesty is too worried about Mu'er, it must be what Mu'er did on weekdays This matter has caused His Majesty to worry too much, and thinking about it, I am really ashamed."

Chu Huang looked into Chu Mu's eyes quietly, and after a while, he laughed loudly: "Mu'er, you do have some self-knowledge, haha, I believe you! The king will also feel ashamed, but I don't believe it anymore, and I presumably you don't believe it either! Hahaha!"

The crowd laughed.

Although there was no actual performance, most of the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, so it is so——

Chu Mu's explanation is reasonable, his tone is still unrestrained, even his playful temperament has not changed, and the export is a matter of romance. The reason why Emperor Chu asked such a question was because he was really worried that he was too greedy. It's just a matter of playing and ruining the country.

Chu Mu smiled shyly: "Your Majesty really made fun of Mu'er. In the future, in Chudu, Mu'er's value may plummet. In front of those delicate beauties, Mu'er is too ashamed to lift her head."

The Emperor of Chu laughed again, and everyone laughed along with him. The atmosphere in the hall was very active for a while, and everyone forgot about the crown prince and the princess-to-be on the high platform, making the little prince who was famous outside become the real protagonist of the banquet .

When Emperor Chu finally turned his gaze to the others, Chu Mu poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the cup, and drank it slowly.The laughter in the hall continued, the monarch and his ministers enjoyed each other, the ridicule and joy continued, the harmony and beauty on the surface, but the rivalry in the dark, he suddenly felt... very tired.
