This shout scared Zhu Houzhao so much that his entire body trembled.
Li Xiu, who was lying on the bed, had woken up at some point. His face was filled with anger as he flew towards Zhu Houzhao!
"Bang!"
A deep, muffled sound spread throughout the entire bedroom!
Zhou Li slapped Li Xiu down.
Her entire body was embedded in the floor tiles and she fainted again.
At the same time, the sound of uniform footsteps came from afar and swiftly entered Cheng En Palace.
The experts of the East Chamber arrived late. Seeing the chaotic scene of corpses strewn all over the place, they felt their scalps go numb and hurriedly knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao.
"We came late to save you! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao was like a frightened deer. He quickly stood up and said to the guards,"
"Rise, rise, I want to return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity!”
...
The farce was over.
Zhu Houzhao returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity under the protection of the experts from the East Chamber.
Cao Zhengchun, who had rushed over after hearing the news, received a scolding from him!
The shock that Princess Li Xiu was a man was already big enough, and Cui Wuwan's act of Jing Ke assassinating the king of Qin made him even more scared.
All of Zhu Houzhao's anger and dissatisfaction that night was directed at Cao Zhengchun.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old servant deserves to die ten thousand times…Fortunately, Your Majesty is not injured. Otherwise, this old servant will die ten thousand times to atone for his sins."
Cao Zhengchun knelt down and apologized to Zhu Houzhao.
Such loyalty extinguished Zhu Houzhao's anger. He said coldly,"
"Alright! Investigate it immediately! Are there any more assassins in the palace? Why did the Yun Nation want to kill me! Investigate it clearly! If I am assassinated again, you can go to the imperial prison to retire!”
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This old servant will definitely investigate thoroughly!" Cao Zhengchun said with a loyal and indignant expression. He would never let His Majesty encounter any more danger!”
.....
Shuyu Palace.
Zhou Li sat cross-legged on the bed, healing Ren Yingying.
Waves of pure internal strength were transmitted over.
After a long time.
Ren Yingying retracted her hand and said softly,"Alright, Zhou Li, I'm full."?”
Zhou Li also stopped." Your injuries won't recover in ten days to half a month. Don't stay in the palace anymore. I'll send you out later."”
When Ren Yingying heard this, her heart was filled with sweetness. She said,"It's hard for you to still know how to care about others. Then I'll reluctantly listen to you. However, I still have something to tell you, Dong."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Luo shouted from the side,"
"Master! Who is this woman?!"
Ren Yingying was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Li looked at Yun Luo and asked curiously.”
"What do you mean what's wrong?!" She, she might be an assassin. She was hiding in Li Xiu's closet. I saw it!”
Ren Yingying's gaze shifted between Yun Luo and Zhou Li's faces. She seemed to have realized something and suddenly asked,""Zhou Li, why did she call you master? You took her as your disciple?"
"I can't explain it at the moment, but it's about the same.”
Zhou Li said.
Yun Luo shouted again,"You're so rude!" How can you call Master by his name!"
Ren Yingying rolled her eyes. Zhou Li, Zhou Li, Zhou Li!"
As a princess, Yun Luo had never been rebutted like this before. She angrily slammed the table, causing the teacups and teapots to jump up and smash into pieces on the ground.
"What are you doing? You still want to hit me?"
"Zhou Li, you see, I'm not causing trouble!" Ren Yingying said.”
When Zhou Li saw the two girls quarreling, he shouted with a headache,"Shut up!"
The two girls obediently shut their mouths.
"Stop it. Don't look for trouble.”
Zhou Li said,"
"It's almost dawn. Yun Luo, you should rest. I'll send Ren Yingying out of the palace.”
Ren Yingying raised her hands and said coquettishly,""My leg hurts and I can't stand up. Zhou Li, carry me!”
"Your leg is injured too?" Zhou Li was surprised.
Yes, he was beaten up by that bearded man several times. Ren Yingying said.
Zhou Li said helplessly,"Alright, come up."”
He put on his boots and squatted down. He let Yingying climb onto his back and snickered in his heart.
Seeing this, Yun Luo became even more unhappy and said,""Master, I want to go too!"
"I'm sending her out of the palace. What are you going to do?”Zhou Li walked to the door.
"I, I'm going out to get some fresh air!" Yun Luo said. It was so boring in Shuyu Palace! I won't cause you any trouble!"
"Then it's up to you."
Zhou Li stepped over the threshold and Yun Luo followed obediently.
An hour later.
The three of them left the palace.
They arrived at the inn in Mingyu Lane.
At this time, the inn was not open yet. The three of them did not want to attract attention, so they directly sneaked into the inn through the window.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Yi Lin, who was washing up, was startled. She immediately raised her sword vigilantly and asked,"Who is it?"
"Quickly open the door, Yilin, your Sister Ren is in so much pain!”
Ren Yingying replied weakly from outside.
Yi Lin recognized who the voice belonged to and immediately beamed with joy. She put down her sword and hurriedly opened the door.
When she saw Zhou Li and Ren Yingying, she said happily,"
"Senior Zhou! Sister Ren! You're finally back. Yilin was so worried about you."
When she saw Yun Luo, she was stunned and asked,""Who is this benefactor?"
Yun Luo saw that Yi Lin was beautiful and cute and had a good impression of her. She said,"My name is Yun Luo, Senior Zhou's new disciple.”
"Disciple? Senior Zhou has accepted a disciple?" Yi Lin was surprised.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Yilin, help Ren Yingying change her clothes and feed her some water.”
Zhou Li walked into the room, placed Ren Yingying on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
Yi Lin also noticed that something was wrong. She frowned and asked,""Senior Zhou, what's wrong with Sister Ren?”
"She's injured, but I've stabilized her injuries. I'll go buy some medicine now. I'll leave Ren Yingying in your care.
Zhou Li walked to the table and took out an ingot of gold from his chest.
When Yi Lin heard this, she was shocked. She thought to herself that even Sister Ren was injured. The palace was indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, she did not go. Otherwise, she might not have been able to come back.
She calmed herself down and said,"Senior Zhou, don't worry. Yilin will take good care of Sister Ren!"”
"Yes, Yun Luo, come with me."
Zhou Li took the silver, called Yun Luo, and left the inn.
A princess and a 'little eunuch' dressed in such a manner was too ostentatious.
Therefore, the first thing Zhou Li did when he left was to bring Yun Luo to a cloth shop and buy two sets of ordinary clothes to change into.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a pretty man before?"
Zhou Li put on a classic white Confucian robe, tied up his hair and inserted a hairpin, looking handsome and picturesque.
This was the first time Yun Luo had seen Zhou Li's true colors. She could not take her eyes off him and stuttered,""Master, I…I didn't expect your true body to be so young and so beautiful."
Her pretty face immediately blushed as she muttered to herself,
" So beautiful. If she were a man dressed as a woman, there would be no need for Li Xiu…"
Zhou Li chuckled." Nonsense. I'm a famous handsome young man in my hometown. You're really surprised."”
