Xie Mingze never expected that Chu Li would wake up suddenly. Now he was lying on his opponent, only half a palm away from his face, not even close. He only felt a wave of heat rushing up his entire face, and his face suddenly changed.

The crimson and dark pupils reflected Chu Li's phoenix eyes.

He was probably so shocked that he forgot to move away. He just opened his eyes wide and held the edge of the bed with his hands, maintaining the same action as before. He was dumbfounded.

Chu Li didn't make a sound, he just lay there quietly. His eyes were still red with bloodshot eyes after being drunk. At this moment, because Xie Mingze was lying on top of him, blocking the light behind him, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

It's just that a pair of phoenix eyes became deeper and deeper. In the end, when Xie Mingze finally came to his senses and was about to retreat in a panic, there was an extra hand behind his neck, pressing down...

Xie Mingze felt like a stranded fish, his breath had been robbed, and he could only let it do whatever he wanted.

When he was finally out of breath, he was let go. Xie Mingze's eyes widened, and he suddenly stepped back and patted his chest: Damn it!!! This time it's getting serious. Is this guy drunk or not?

Chu Li just turned his head and looked along with his movements. There was something strange in his phoenix eyes probably because of his previous actions. At this moment, his eyes were full of different reactions, pouring into his eyes, making his handsome face look even more beautiful.

Wushuang, looking at it so quietly, seemed like a delicacy with excellent taste. Xie Mingze couldn't hold it back for a moment, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. He hurriedly confirmed and pointed to himself: "Do you know me?"

Chu Li still just looked at him quietly, but after hearing this, he half-stretched his body to get up.

Xie Mingze was so scared that he didn't even bother to listen to the answer. He ran away in a flash and forgot to close the door.

What he didn't see was that as he fled in such a panic, someone behind him, whose originally clear and drunken eyes became more sober, and the deep light in his eyes became darker, looked at his back,

With a kind of inevitable brilliance, it is dazzling, making that face captivating and irresistible.

Xie Mingze returned to his yard and lay down on the bed, pretending to be dead. The scene when Chu Li kissed him was repeated in his mind, making him roll on the bed several times, and finally covered his face with a brocade quilt.

The balance of consciousness is struggling: Is Chu Li awake, or is Chu Li unconscious?

If this were the former, Xie Mingze felt that he was going to suffer. He wouldn't have broken off the cheap husband, right? But thinking about it, it was wrong. Before, the cheap husband thought of giving clothes and jewelry to the goddess doctor. He must have thought too much, not to mention,

I've never heard that the Ninth Prince is a seductress before? But if the latter is unconscious, wouldn't he be kissed in vain?

But compared with the former, the consequences seem... insignificant?

What's more, he was drunk and chewed cheap men like jelly. Does this count? What comes and goes?

The problem is, it has not been determined whether Cheap Husband is really drunk and unconscious.

Fortunately, two days later, Xie Mingze secretly tested Chu Li after hiding for two days, and found that he had no impression of that day at all, so he was relieved.

As Xie Mingze expected, Huan Shi fell ill after being fed such a heavy dose. Xie Yujiao went to look for the person but did not see anyone, so she could only return without success.

And what Xie Yujiao was most worried about happened.

The condition of Princess Shouzhu in the palace has stabilized, and she can sleep well at night even without medication, and has not even had another attack for many days in a row. This made Concubine You's gratitude to the miracle doctor reach its peak.

It's just that the miracle doctor didn't take credit for his work and even stopped showing up, so this gratitude was passed on to King Li by Concubine You.

Concubine You had just eaten some food with Princess Shouzhu. The scar on Princess Shouzhu's chest had completely healed. Although it looked terrible, it seemed so insignificant compared with Princess Shouzhu's previous condition.

Concubine You's eyes turned red when she thought that Princess Shouzhu had used an extra bowl of rice. She returned to her bedroom, and her confidants quickly comforted her: "Your Majesty, now Princess Hongfu Qitian is very close to recovery."

, the empress should be happy."

Concubine You nodded softly: "I am naturally happy. King Li is indispensable for Pearl's current situation." If King Li hadn't been able to marry the goddess doctor, her Pearl would still have to endure the pain.

It will be extremely difficult to get married in the future, and it may even end at any time. This is what makes Concubine You the most worried and sad day and night, but it is different now, her Pearl is fine.

Mammy had witnessed the birth of the princess with her own eyes, and then endured pain and suffering when she grew up to such a flowery age. She was relieved: "King Li really helped a lot this time. A few days ago, the Duke of Dingguo handed over

The news also said that the second daughter of the Xie family actually found a miracle doctor, who was said to be able to suppress the princess's condition. Prime Minister Xie actually went to the mansion in person shamelessly. Such thoughts... made the Duke of Guo angry.

Kicked people out."

Concubine You's face darkened: "Huh, that second girl has a lot on her mind. This happened last time and I couldn't bear to offend me, so I don't know where to find such a miracle doctor? I still can't tell, right?

But she can only suppress it?" Since she has the goddess doctor who can completely eliminate the root cause of Princess Shouzhu's disease, why should she still owe the Xie family favors?

Their Xie family was really not a good person, especially the second girl, which made Concubine You even more unhappy.

Naturally, Mammy was not happy either: "I heard that Prime Minister Xie fell ill after he was kicked out. He has been staying in the mansion these days, and has been calling in the imperial doctor all day long. He looks like he is seriously ill, but he doesn't know.

Are you really sick, or..."

Before Mammy finished the rest of her words, Concubine You understood.

I wonder if it was because his father had lost face with Prime Minister Xie, and he deliberately wanted to make his father submissive.

Concubine You squinted her eyes and thought for a moment: "It has been many days, Zhu'er's condition has stabilized, and it is time to give a reward. But the goddess doctor said that she did not want to tell her, so she would send the reward directly to Prince Li's mansion.

Not only will the palace give you a share, but I will also send you a share. As for my father, he will make his own decision."

Mammy agreed, thinking that although the Ninth Prince was not favored by the Emperor, as long as the Crown Prince was around, the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince's mother and sister had supported each other over the years, and giving face to the Ninth Prince was also giving face to the Prince. What's more, now

The Ninth Prince indirectly saved Princess Shouzhu.

As soon as the empress's attitude came out, Duke Dingguo's mansion would probably extend an olive branch to the prince soon, so he would be on the same side.

The prince was naturally happy when he found out, and went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion the next day.

"Father has begun to draw up a list of rewards, and Concubine You has also selected some, saying that she would ask Ninth Brother to hand them over to the goddess doctor in private. The Duke of Guo also found the orphan in private, saying that he was grateful to the orphan.

Foreign relations also mean making good friends. Ninth brother, this time... I am really grateful to you. Although I am the prince, my maternal family is not rich, and it has declined in recent years. Now that I have the recognition of the Duke of the country, I am here

It's much easier to walk in the court. Ninth brother, I really don't know how to thank you."

Chu Li lowered his eyes and listened to the prince's sincere speech. He waited until he finished listening and then slowly spoke: "My brother didn't do anything. The emperor is loyal and kind. The Duke should have valued the emperor in the first place. Otherwise, he would just rely on

It's impossible for one thing to affect so many people."

Obviously, Chu Li's words made the prince very happy. After a respectful discussion between the brothers, the topic changed: "Why don't you see your brother-in-law?"

Chu Li said: "He has been feeling unwell for the past two days and is resting in his yard."

"Ah? Is my brother-in-law sick? I don't know, but I need to ask for a doctor?" The prince was obviously anxious, with concern and worry flashing in his eyes.

Chu Li said: "No need, it's just an ordinary discomfort, it's okay."

The prince finally had a meal with Chu Li before leaving. He reminded Chu Li that after receiving the reward in two days, he might have to go to the palace to thank him. At that time, he would go with him so that he would not have to worry about his father.

Bian Yunyun.

Chu Li kept listening and waited until the prince left. He sat there with his eyes downcast and never spoke.

Li Si stayed by the side, feeling panicked. He opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. Finally, when Chu Li stood up, he couldn't help but speak: "Master, I don't know that my subordinates are suspected of sowing discord, but...

...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never mentioned the military talisman. His Highness said before that he was just guarding it for you temporarily, but now my leg has healed for so long... I heard from people in the military camp that His Highness has been there frequently these days, no?

The major generals already know that I gave the military talisman to the prince, and they are all spreading rumors... that I might be thinking of retiring."

Chu Li didn't say anything, and just nodded when he heard the words.

Li Si became even more anxious: "Master!" Could it be that the prince...doesn't want to return the military power?

Chu Li finally seemed to have a reaction: "I expected this day when the military power was handed over."

Li Si turned pale: "Master..."

Chu Li said: "Even if the emperor really didn't have this intention or want at the beginning, he has many staff and close ministers around him in recent years. They can not understand the pros and cons and the right to speak in the court with the military power in their hands."

Analyze it for him?" The gold foil is touching, not to mention the military power that will allow him to firmly establish his position as the prince.

Li Si was dumbfounded and staggered, with disbelief all over his body: "But, that's what you did for seven years of hard work..." When I left Beijing, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and I didn't care about it even after nine deaths.

Pass.

Chu Li said nothing and waved his hand: "I want to be quiet. You can go down first."

Xie Mingze did say that he felt uncomfortable, but Chu Li knew that he was deliberately trying to avoid it because of the previous kiss, and Chu Li was willing to let him calm down, so he didn't expose it. But he met the prince today,

The mood fell to the ground immediately.

If the prince wants military power, he may even want him to assist the prince.

Chu Li absolutely said that this was his only closest relative in the world except Emperor Chu Yin, but this relative now also had an affair with him, and the prince was afraid of him and did not trust him.

It would be a lie to say that he was not sad. He had never thought about arguing with him, but things in the world were inherently uncertain.

It just depends on how people choose.

So when he learned about the group of secret guards under King Lingyang, he did not choose to expose it but secretly inquired about it. Who knew that he had noticed it since then and chose to hide it from the prince.

From the moment he wakes up alive, or from the moment he can stand up like an ordinary person, he is not only the ninth prince, but also the prince's younger brother. At the same time, he is also a prince, a... qualified to ascend the throne.

The prince of God.

Even if the prince had not realized it before, the so-called advisers and confidants were talking frequently in his ears these days. The prince was originally very indecisive, so he probably took it seriously.

Xie Mingze has indeed been avoiding Chu Li these two days. Of course, since he found out that Chu Li did not remember kissing him that day, he was not so embarrassed. It can be seen that seeing Chu Li, he always remembered the fierce look when Chu Li kissed him that day, and he felt

uneasy.

In addition to being a cat in the mansion these two days, he is also waiting for the reward from the palace. As long as the reward comes, Xie Yujiao will be completely shameless in front of the Sun family.

Sun will never spare her.

He felt that it was probably just the past few days, so he was very happy.

When it was getting dark, Li Si came to bring him dinner. It was still Yipinzhai's meal, and the dishes were all his favorites. It had been like this these days. Xie Mingze was used to it and didn't say anything.

Today, when Li Si came to prepare the meal, he was not in a high mood. He looked languid, which was very different from his usual appearance.

Xie Mingze thought that Li Si was fine during the day, why did he suddenly wilt now?

"What's wrong? Is there something going on with my husband?" Xie Mingze was eating other people's meals, and he didn't care, right?

Li Si pursed his lips and shook his head: "I'm fine, Madam, you can relax."

The more he said this, the more Xie Mingze didn't believe it. If it was really okay, how could he look like this? "You still lie to me? Madam, am I so easy to lie? After all, is there something going on in the palace?" Can he make it happen?

The husband who is not depressed is probably Emperor Chu Yin.

The result was unexpected. This time it was not Emperor Chu Yin, but the prince?

Li Si originally didn't want to say anything, but there was really no one in the house that he could tell, and only his wife could be trusted. He sighed: "The prince came here not long ago."

Xie Mingze became even more curious: "The relationship between the two brothers is so good, what can happen to make the husband worried?" At the beginning, the prince brought the original person who had an affair with him directly to celebrate the occasion, just to make it easier for the husband.

Look, the prince and Chu Li can be considered brothers and sisters, and their relationship is not wrong.

Li Si also found it strange: "I'm not worried, but my subordinates feel that I'm really in a bad mood."

Xie Mingze: "What happened? Of course, if it's not convenient to say it, forget it."

Li Si thought about it and there was nothing he couldn't tell Madam. After all, if Madam hadn't known the miracle doctor, I would have lost my legs and life... "His Royal Highness came here mainly because he said that the reward from the palace would be coming in two days.

Not only the Emperor’s, but also Concubine You’s special share for the Goddess Doctor, who will be required to hand it over to the Goddess Doctor when the time comes.”

Xie Mingze's scalp went numb. Concubine You...is going to treat the goddess? It's not what he thought, right? But now is not the time to care about this, "What next?"

Li Sidao: "Madam, you see, it has been so long since I woke up and my leg has been healed for so long. His Highness the Crown Prince knows that, but this time when he came here, His Highness did not mention anything about military power."

Xie Mingze understood and glanced at Li Si helplessly: "You are overthinking this matter. If a fragrant chicken leg is placed in front of you, tell me, although you think the chicken drumstick is very fragrant, you are worried about the chicken drumstick.

One stick, and I gave it to you, are you embarrassed to eat it?"

Li Si wanted to say that he was willing to eat it. After all, Madam is not that kind of person. If you give it, you must give it. It smells really good.

Xie Mingze heard Li Si's meaning strangely from his eyes. He twitched the corner of his mouth and changed the subject: "Well, you have been hungry for a long time. It must be... half a month. No, you haven't eaten chicken legs in half a year. Then

A chicken drumstick is placed in front of you. You don’t say whether you want to eat it or not. You just say whether you are greedy or not?”

Li Sida said: "Greedy."

Xie Mingze: "That's it. Let's not say who owns this military power. But anyone who has been hungry for a long time will not be greedy for chicken legs. It is just that the owner of this chicken legs will be embarrassed when eating.

That's all." But once the chicken legs are in your mouth, you will be very hungry and it will be difficult to spit them out again.

What's more, the prince is too mediocre. It's okay now that Emperor Chu Yin is watching over him. Maybe his strength is average and his ears are soft. He has been very obedient over the years. Emperor Chu Yin is willing to support this obedient prince, except for the fact that he likes him.

Inside, on the one hand, it was easy for the prince to control him.

But as long as he is a man, there is no one who is not greedy for power. The prince just didn't have this opportunity at first. Suddenly, he felt like a man who had been hungry for a long time.

,How can it be?

Therefore, Cheap Husband was afraid that when he left the church, no matter how good the prince's words were at that time, Chu Li was afraid that he would know by then that what he gave out would never be returned to him again.

Li Si understood, but he also felt sad for his father.

Xie Mingze looked at Li Si's wilting look and asked, "Have you eaten, husband?"

Li Si shook his head: "I have been staying at the ancestral hall in the backyard since the afternoon. I said I am not hungry, so there is no need to send him dinner."

Xie Mingze thought that he was still Chu Li's wife. When the monk struck the clock, he told Li Si: "Put these back and I'll go see your husband."

Li Si's eyes lit up: "Madam..."

Xie Mingze raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to take care of it myself?"

"I'll take care of it now!" Li Si was afraid that Xie Mingze would regret it. With his wife coming, my mood would definitely be much better. No matter how he knew, he could just foresee it.

Xie Mingze took Li Si, and Li Si carried the lunch box towards the ancestral hall in the backyard. When they arrived at the place, Xie Mingze saw that there was such an ancestral hall in the house?

He stood in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the ancient ancestral hall, and was very surprised.

Li Si explained in a low voice: "This is an old house. This ancestral hall belonged to a former criminal. Later, the house was confiscated and confiscated. When I was able to leave the palace and build a mansion, the emperor... rewarded me with such a place."

The house. At that time, the mansion was very dilapidated and needed some repairs before it could be used. At that time, the ancestral hall looked even more dilapidated than it does now, but I decided to keep it."

Xie Mingze didn't ask who was enshrined inside, he knew it after thinking about it.

Emperor Chu Yin is still there, but the only one who is not here...is the former queen.

Xie Mingze had no impression of the former empress in his original memory. After all, the former empress had been dead for more than twenty years. It was said that she died as soon as the Ninth Prince was born.

Apart from this, little is known about the former empress. Not long after, Emperor Chu Yin named the current Empress Zhao the empress.

Xie Mingze thought of this place and waved his hand to let Li Si leave first. He picked up the lunch box and walked forward with the lunch box. Li Si originally wanted to say something, but in the end he left obediently. He thought that maybe he cares about his wife so much.

Maybe Madam can really heal the knot in my heart.

When Xie Mingze arrived at the ancestral hall, he knocked on the door twice. There was no sound inside. However, Xie Mingze knew that the cheap husband was inside, so he said in a dignified manner: "Husband, are you there? Have I come in?"

He waited again and heard no rejection. Does that mean he agreed? "Then I will be your husband and you agreed."

After Xie Mingze finished speaking, he opened the door and went in. As soon as he entered, the surroundings were dim and pitch black and he couldn't see clearly, but he could vaguely discern the direction from the faint light from the incense candle not far away.

Sure enough, there was a dark figure standing in front of the incense candle. Standing there, he looked like a cheap man.

Xie Mingze caressed the past, and when he was approaching, because it was too dark and his attention was on the cheap husband, he didn't notice the futon placed on the ground. He stumbled and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Chu Li turned around and reached out to catch him and stabilize him.

Xie Mingze held the lunch box and didn't let go, for fear of dropping it, so now it was Xie Mingze holding the lunch box and Chu Li holding him with both hands.

The atmosphere was... extremely awkward for a moment.

Xie Mingze felt that he was hopeless. Every time he met someone, they were either secretly kissing each other or throwing themselves into someone's arms...

He felt that the cheap husband was already thinking about whether he had a crush on him and was deliberately trying to seduce him?

It’s unfair! He didn’t! He wasn’t!

Fortunately, Chu Li, who was sober, was still very upright and he quickly let go of his hand after he stood firm.

This made Xie Mingze sigh with relief and at the same time become more certain that the cheap husband is obviously not interested in male sex.

Xie Mingze stood up and then looked at the place where the incense was burning. He could distinguish a memorial tablet in front of it through the faint light. He looked at it and felt that he had come here: "How about... I also put incense sticks for my mother-in-law?"

Xie Mingze blushed when he said it. This is obviously a fake. Who is he?

But I have said it all, no matter how crazy the villain is in my heart, my face remains calm.

Chu Li obviously didn't expect that Xie Mingze would take the initiative to ask. In the darkness, he looked at Xie Mingze's face, his throat was a little itchy, and he whispered softly: "Okay."

Xie Mingze listened to Chu Li's gentle and gentle voice, and his heart softened for a moment. How could a child not want the care of his parents, but Chu Li, the ninth prince, was a bit miserable. When he was born, his biological mother was gone and his biological father disliked him.

However, the prince, who had the same mother as him, was able to enjoy maternal love in his early years, but later he was protected by his biological father. On the other hand, Chu Li was like a pitiful little person who was very pitiable.

Xie Mingze's voice softened for a moment and he comforted her softly: "Husband, don't be sad. You still have me, don't you? From now on, I will accompany you to offer incense to my mother-in-law."

Chu Li still said the same thing, but he stepped forward and lit three sticks of incense, and when he handed them to Xie Mingze, he held his hand.

Xie Mingze was just stunned when Chu Li explained softly: "It's dark here, I'll help you a little."

Xie Mingze didn't think much, thinking that the cheap husband was really considerate, so he was protected by Chu Li and lit a stick of incense. When he actually lit it, he realized that Chu Li also lit three sticks of incense, which was equivalent to him.

Together with Chu Li, I offered incense to the former queen.

Why...do you feel something is weird?
