Chapter 52(1/3)
52. Pretense is better than truth 1
Chi Lin was sleeping when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.
When he opened his eyes to look around, he saw a figure in front of his bed. His nose was pinched by that person's hand. He was shocked and pushed out with the palm of his right hand.
But the man jumped back and said with a smile: "Wake up."
This sound...
Chi Lin got out of bed and said, "What are you doing here again?"
"It's not you, it's you." Another person next to him replied.
The voice was rich and playful.
There is no mistaking it, it was the monster that night.
"What are you doing here?" Chi Lin asked sharply.
"Oh, I'm still very angry." Yu'er said with a smile.
"I'm afraid he will be even more angry in a while." Kurihara also said with a smile.
Suddenly hearing the sound of "cang clang", Chi Lin pulled out the cold sword hanging on the side of the bed, and quickly stabbed Kurihara with his energy like a pillar.
"Here we go again." Kurihara turned away slightly and sighed.
"We are kind enough to tell you about the third princess, is this your attitude?" Yu'er sat at the table, holding half of her head in her hands, looking at Chi Lin and smiling.
Chi Lin temporarily put away his sword and said in a deep voice: "Third princess? What's the matter?"
"Today the general of the auxiliary state was promoted to the general of the hussar, did you know?" Kurihara said.
"Of course I know." Chi Lin said.
"Did you know that the general Qiusi asked the emperor to marry the second princess?" Kurihara said.
"I probably know." Chi Lin said calmly.
"You really know." Kurihara said.
Chi Lin didn't say anything.
"Then Prime Minister Xiao's wife also went to ask the queen to marry the second princess. Do you know this too?" Kurihara said.
"What?" Chi Lin was really shocked when he heard what he said!
"Oh, it turns out there's something you don't know too." Kurihara shrugged.
"What's going on?" Chi Lin said in a deep voice.
"The royal family has a beautiful woman, and the family has a son, so they are a perfect match." Kurihara said.
Chi Lin frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Oh no!"
"Well, it's really bad." Kurihara said.
"Where is the third princess? Does she know?" Chi Lin turned to Yu'er and asked.
"We don't know yet, but it will be hard to say tomorrow." Yu'er stood up, walked to stand beside Kurihara, and looked at Chi Lin and said.
"Thank you for telling me." Chi Lin bowed his hands to the two of them, walked around them, opened the door, and hurried out.
"He's gone." Kurihara said to Yu'er.
"Well, it's time for us to leave," Yu'er said.
The two of them also left Chi Lin's room, jumped up to the eaves, and swept out.
Yu'er left Chi Mansion and headed towards the palace.
"What? Are you going back to the palace?" Kurihara caught up with her and asked.
"Yes." Yu'er said, "If you don't want to go back, just find a place to play by yourself."
"Although she saved you, the emperor has the final say in this matter. What's the use of worrying about it for nothing?" Kurihara said from behind, "There are many interesting places in this capital, so why not come with me."
"It all depends on people. If I don't care about the third princess's temper, I will really regret it for the rest of my life." Yu'er said.
"That's her own business, and you're not her mother." Kurihara said, "You are her mother-in-law, Concubine Cheng, and you want her to marry into the Xiao family."
"Yes, with such a girl on the stall, no wonder the third princess is like this." Yu'er sighed.
As they talked, the two of them arrived outside the palace wall.
Yu'er jumped onto the wall first.
Kurihara followed suit.
"You can go wherever you like, why are you always following me?" Yu'er said.
"If I don't follow you, if you fall into the hands of the old man, I won't have a wife," Kurihara said.
"Even if I don't run into Tian Xuan's hands, I'm still not your wife." Yu'er said.
"That's not what you said." Kurihara said with a smile, putting his arm around Yu'er's waist, holding her and flying over two eaves before putting her down.
Yu'er stared at her and said nothing.
"You're very good this time." Kurihara smiled evilly and leaned towards her face.
Suddenly I felt cold and stiff all over. When I looked again, I saw a thin layer of light blue ice covering myself tightly.
Breathing is okay.
"Just stay here obediently." Yu'er hummed, took a long step, and jumped out.
"Hey! Help me untie the ice first!" Kurihara shouted in a suppressed voice.
Yu'er didn't even look back, she was already far away.
"Women are cruel, and witches are even more cruel!" Kurihara shook his head and sighed.
Let's say that Chi Lin left the door, hurried to his father's room, and knocked hard on the door.
"Who is it?" It was Chi Wuwei's voice.
Chi Wuwei, courtesy name Jiuzhi, was appointed General Dingnan.
"Dad, it's me!" Chi Lin responded, "My child is in an emergency, please open the door quickly!"
Chi Lin has always been steady and would knock on the door in the middle of the night, fearing that something big was going on.
Chi Wuwei didn't dare to sleep too much and hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Seeing the door open, Chi Lin hurriedly stepped in.
"It's so late, why is it so urgent?" Mrs. Chi was also woken up, put on her clothes and got up.
"Father, mother," Chi Lin said to the two elders, "something is urgent today, please forgive me for disturbing you."
"It's okay, what's the emergency? Tell me quickly." Chi Wuwei said.
"My child has something to ask for, and I hope my father and mother will do it for me." Chi Lin said.
"Let's talk and listen," Chi Wuwei said.
"Yes, Lin'er, just tell me if you have anything to do." Mrs. Chi said.
"My child wants to marry the third princess. Please ask your father to propose marriage to the emperor." Chi Lin said bluntly without beating around the bush.
Chi Wuwei listened and was silent.
Mrs. Chi said first: "This is a good thing. If it can be accomplished, it will be an honor for the Chi family."
"Lin'er, if you want to marry the princess, it's not impossible because of the Chi family's loyalty to the imperial court for many years." Chi Wuwei said slowly, "However, there is no rush at this moment."
Just for this matter, why are you so anxious? I'm afraid there are other reasons, so Chi Wuwei won't accept it.
"Dad!" Chi Lin said, "We can't wait any longer!"
"Marriage is a big event. There have been a lot of affairs in the DPRK recently, let's talk about it later." Chi Wuwei said slowly, turned around and took a piece of clothing to put on his body.
"Dad, if you wait any longer, Ning Jia will marry into another family!" Chi Lin said anxiously.
"Lin'er, what are you..." Mrs. Chi said in shock, "How can you call the third princess by her first name!"
"Although she is a princess, she will still be my wife, Chi Lin." Chi Lin said.
"You really want to marry him. Your Majesty doesn't know what your thoughts are yet. You have to plan slowly." Chi Wuwei said calmly.
"Yesterday, General Meng and Prime Minister Xiao's office proposed to the emperor to marry the second princess. We can't wait any longer!" Chi Lin said.
"General Meng and Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion? This..." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chi hesitated and said nothing.
After Chi Wuwei heard this, he understood it in his heart.
"Lin'er," Chi Wuwei walked up to Chi Lin, looked at him and said slowly: "You should know the emperor's decision."
"Now that the imperial edict has not yet been issued, our Chi family can still compete!" Chi Lin said.
"Who are you fighting with? General Meng? Prime Minister Xiao?" Chi Wuwei looked at him and said, "Or, the Emperor?"
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen! I have made an agreement with Ning Jia, and I will never let her marry anyone else!" Chi Lin said.
