Li Yi was surprised himself. It wasn't like he didn't know what he was capable of, so how could he have bumped into the Eldest Princess?
With her martial arts and alertness, no matter how sudden it was or how fast he was, it was impossible for her to not be able to dodge in time.
Unless, she was really too absent-minded. So absent-minded that she didn't even notice that someone had bumped into her.
He naturally knew how fast he was just now. Even he felt pain when he bumped into her, not to mention the delicate Eldest Princess. Therefore, the first thing he did was ask her where she had bumped into. Did it hurt? Did she need him to help rub it?
However, what was with the three inexplicable chills he felt from the front, the back, and the door?
Was there anything wrong with not running away after bumping into someone and showing proper concern?
Compared to those people who ran away after the accident, her personality was many times more noble …..
Li Yi looked at the Eldest Princess and said in a concerned voice, "I'm sorry, I ran too fast just now. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." MIngzhu covered her chest with one hand and shook her head, but her brows were still slightly knitted.
No wonder it felt so soft just now. Li Yi realized where he had bumped into and he couldn't help feeling even more worried.
After several months of hard work, the Eldest Princess' chest finally had a bit of improvement. It could even be said that it was just beginning to take shape. If it was knocked back by this, wouldn't he be committing a great sin? Wouldn't he be ruining this girl's life?
Out of a man's sense of responsibility, he had to take responsibility for her to the end.
When there were outsiders around, Miss.Liu's personality was completely put away.
She didn't want others to think that she was a violent woman, especially not MIngzhu.
She could read and write poems. She was also skilled in both literature and martial arts, not any worse than MIngzhu.
When she sat down at the table, the Eldest Princess put her hand down from her chest. When Li Yi looked at her carefully, he found that she was very different from before.
Although her clothes were as neat as before, and her hair was not disheveled, her complexion was much more haggard than a few days ago. She seemed to be extremely exhausted, and this exhaustion was not shown on the outside, but on the inside.
In the past, when she stood next to Second Miss Liu, the only thing that she could compare to Second Miss Liu was her luxurious temperament and her equally good looks.
Now, her temperament was gone and her beauty was gone. Although her haggard appearance gave her a different feeling, it was a beauty that only a few people like him could appreciate.
Li Yi was really worried this time and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so bad?"
She was not like this even during the busiest times of the imperial court. Even if she had a few special days, she should not be so haggard …
Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It should be because I haven't slept well these days."
She casually picked up a piece of paper on the table and looked at it. She said, "Who wrote this poem? The words are okay, but the poem is a complete mess …"
Ignoring Li Yi's strenuous winking at her, she shook her head and continued, "The tone is wrong, the mood is completely absent, and even the rhythm is not understood …"
Li Yi rubbed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, covering his face with his hands.
The Eldest Princess had received royal education since she was young. It could be said that she was skilled in both literature and martial arts. All in all, she should be the most outstanding woman in the entire Jing Kingdom, no, in the surrounding countries.
In her opinion, Miss.Liu's poem was no different from a child's play.
However, the truth was one thing, and saying it was another.
If this matter could be brought up, her chest wouldn't be hurting now.
"We haven't sparred for a long time." Miss.Liu picked up Autumn Water and said, "Let's spar."
"Okay."
The two of them never refused each other's challenges. Perhaps the Eldest Princess, who was in a bad mood, also wanted to vent. She only spat out a word, stood up, and walked to the exclusive sparring field for the two of them in the inner court.
Li Yi lay on the chair and looked at the blue sky. He didn't really want to watch the fight.
Seeing her like this, the words Cui Qingming said in the Imperial Prison echoed in his ears again.
Yes, although his surname was Li, it was not the "Li" of the royal family. Even if he was MIngzhu, he could only be considered half a Li. No matter who the new Emperor was, he or MIngzhu would not be allowed to exist.
This point, he didn't need Cui Qingming's reminder. He had always been very clear.
At first, his thoughts were very straightforward. If there was no new Emperor, these conflicts would not exist.
However, the crux of the problem was MIngzhu.
She could participate in the affairs of the country, she could act as the representative of the court, and she could do anything the Emperor could do. However, for her to truly sit on the throne, she still couldn't get over it.
In the end, she couldn't get over the man lying in bed. Even if she didn't have any selfish motives and just wanted the country to become stronger and better … she couldn't change the fact that this was equivalent to treason. It was the same as treason against her own father.
Even after he left, she couldn't do this with a clear conscience.
This wasn't her fault. If she could really do this without any psychological pressure, she wouldn't be the Li MIngzhu he knew. She wouldn't be the Li MIngzhu he liked.
"What are you thinking about, husband?" A soft voice came from behind him.
Li Yi got up from the chair and walked over. He pulled Ruyi's hand and sat down on the stone bench beside him. He said, "Something troubling me."
Ruyi looked at him and asked, "It's been so long. Haven't you made a decision yet?"
Li Yi looked at her in surprise and shock. He asked, "Decide … decide what?"
Ru Yi smiled and said, "Although I don't know what my husband is hesitating about, this matter must be very important. Otherwise, my husband wouldn't have used more than two years and still haven't made a decision."
Ruyi didn't like to talk like Xiao Huan and chatter. She also wasn't like Miss.Liu who spoke like gold. She always saw everything and remembered it. Some of Li Yi's subtle emotional changes could be hidden from Xiao Huan and Ruyi, but it couldn't be hidden from her.
Ruyi leaned on his shoulder and murmured, "Is it hard to decide?"
It wasn't just the Eldest Princess who found it hard to decide. Even Li Yi himself had never truly made up his mind.
He sighed and said, "One step is the sky, one step is the earth. It's very difficult …"
Ruyi held his hand tightly and said, "No matter what happens in the future, I and Ruyi will accompany you to the heavens and the earth."
With her words, Li Yi didn't have anything to hesitate about.
Whether it was to the heavens or the earth, he would always have Ruyi by his side. Miss.Liu — Miss.Liu — forget about it. She would only beat him until he cried.
Whether to advance or retreat, he decided to let MIngzhu make the choice.
He gently kissed Ruyi's face, stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
In fact, he didn't think highly of the Eldest Princess in this competition.
One was diligent enough to challenge him every day to improve her strength, while the other was always burdened by court affairs and neglected her martial arts. One advancing and one retreating, the gap between them quickly became apparent.
Sure enough, the sound of their previous competition was' bang bang bang ', but now it became' bang bang bang '…
Li Yi passed through a moon gate and saw that the Eldest Princess was pressed down by Miss.Liu. He raised his hand and quickly fell down, hitting a certain perky part of her body.
That was how the sound of 'bang bang bang' came out.
As he hit, he frowned and asked, "Do you submit, do you submit, do you submit …"
Li Yi stood still, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?"
