"Help? How do you want to help?"
Miss.Liu's raised hand stopped in the air, and she looked over.
The Princess Royal's acupuncture point was sealed, and her pretty face was flushed. She stared at him with a murderous look.
"Ruyi, what are you doing?" Li Yi walked over quickly, pulled Miss.Liu away, and said, "MIngzhu is a princess. How can you treat her like this? Let go of her …"
Miss.Liu was pulled away by him. The murderous look in the Princess Royal's eyes dissipated, and there was a hint of apology.
It turned out that the help he was talking about was to help himself …
Li Yi secretly wiped away a cold sweat. Although he also wanted to try what it felt like to spank the butt of a princess who might become an empress in the future, it was just for the moment. There was still a long way to go …
Two Ruyi, just thinking about it made him tremble.
After the Princess Royal was helped up by him, she still couldn't move.
Li Yi looked up and down, left and right, and asked, "Have your acupuncture points been sealed? Where was it? I'll help you unseal it."
The Princess Royal's face turned red again, and she didn't say anything.
Miss.Liu came over, pushed him aside, and gently touched MIngzhu's chest.
Although she was humiliated by Miss.Liu, she didn't do anything drastic after her acupuncture points were unsealed. She got up and walked to the hot spring room, and said lightly, "I'm going to take a bath. Get me a change of clothes."
Li Yi followed Miss.Liu to the front. She suddenly turned around and asked, "I'm going to get her a change of clothes, and I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to come with me?"
Li Yi hesitated, "I don't think that's a good idea …"
When Miss.Liu began to roll up her sleeves, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I just took a bath this morning. I don't need it this time …"
After that, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
After being spanked by Miss.Liu, the Princess Royal took a shower and changed her clothes. She looked much more energetic than before.
The clothes she was wearing belonged to Miss.Liu. They were about the same age and height. She could wear whatever Miss.Liu could wear, but Miss.Liu might not be able to wear what she could …
Li Yi noticed that Miss.Liu's gaze kept drifting towards the Princess Royal's chest, and there was some doubt in her eyes.
The relationship between the two of them was really strange to the extreme. They were enemies and friends at the same time. Li Yi couldn't figure it out, but there was one thing he was very clear about … the two of them were indeed getting closer.
With the Princess Royal's character, she could actually act as if nothing had happened after being spanked. With their habits, they would actually take a bath together with each other. This made Li Yi involuntarily think of Zui Mo and Ruoqing. What was wrong with the women around him …
MIngzhu tucked a strand of hair that was still a little wet at the temples behind her head. She looked up and asked, "Have the princes sent you invitations?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "There are quite a few."
The ones who were the happiest about the King of Shu losing power were not him or the Princess Royal, but the princes who used to be below the King of Shu.
In the past, the King of Shu had a respected status and had the support of the Cui family and many forces in the court. The other princes could not see any hope at all. Now that the King of Shu had fallen, wouldn't the throne be chosen from among them?
Therefore, these days, the princes whose fiefdoms were close to the capital had already rushed back to the capital. Those whose fiefdoms were far away were also on their way back after receiving the news.
Naturally, returning to the capital was not just to watch the show. Returning to the capital was to win over the officials and nobles, strengthen oneself, and accumulate chips for the future struggle for power. In the past few days, Li Yi had already received several invitations to banquets.
Of course, those invitations were now either lying at the bottom of the furnace or under the carriage.
He was not the only one who made such a choice. Any official with status and some knowledge in the capital would not make a move to choose a side before the situation was clear.
The struggle for the throne was not a game. If one chose the wrong side, it would not only implicate oneself in the future. Perhaps one's family would also be implicated.
The previous wave of people who had chosen a side in advance had already died. Not only did they have to think for the country, but they also had to think for themselves.
Li Yi also had to think for himself, think for Ruyi, think for Ruyi, think for Xiaohuan, think for Zuimo, think for Ruoqing, think for many people …
It was also a sin to be too outstanding. With the old Emperor's protection, he had nothing to fear. Once the old Emperor could not protect him, those so-called princes and princes, who called him brothers now, would after a while be righteous and raise the butcher's knife against their brothers.
MIngzhu knew him very well. After being together for so long, she knew better than him who was who and what people would do. If there was really a day when MIngzhu faced him with a sword, then there would be nothing in this capital, this Jing Kingdom, that was worth his nostalgia.
MIngzhu looked at him and said, "Burn it."
"What?" Li Yi looked at her, and Miss.Liu also looked at her.
"Burn all those invitations," the Eldest Princess said in a low voice.
The Eldest Princess said in a low voice. Then she looked up at him and said seriously, "I've decided."
Miss.Liu looked at her and asked, "What have you decided?"
Li Yi didn't ask because he knew what she had decided.
He was a little curious and a little surprised. This question was actually what he was going to ask her. Before he asked, she had already given the answer.
He looked at her face and asked seriously, "Have you really decided?"
Her expression was equally serious. "I have decided."
"No regrets?"
"No regrets."
…
Li Yi knew where the knot in her heart was. It was also the knot in his heart. If she couldn't get over it, she would never be able to make up her mind.
That step was so difficult that the two of them had taken it for two years, but they still hadn't crossed it.
What exactly happened that made her make such a decision in just a few days?
Thoughts flew in his mind. After a moment, he nodded, got up and said, "It's good that you have decided. I will send you back."
MIngzhu stood up and nodded.
Miss.Liu looked at them. She felt that although the three of them were sitting very close, she was so far away from them. She couldn't understand what they were saying, couldn't understand what they were doing. She felt that she was the outsider.
Li Yi sent the Eldest Princess out the door before turning his head. He looked at her and said, "That day in the Celestial Prison, what Cui Qingming said, did you hear it all?"
She didn't deny it, which meant she admitted it.
Li Yi looked at her and sighed. He said, "Actually you don't have to be like this. I … I really don't care."
"In the past, it was always you who did it for me." She stopped walking and looked at him. "Now, it's my turn to do it for you."
The Eldest Princess, who had always walked the smart and capable path, suddenly began to be emotional. Li Yi was stunned and couldn't get used to it for a moment.
"This, that …" Li Yi looked at her and thought for a moment. He said, "Even if you really want to do something, you have to tell me first. Don't let your imagination run wild. Look at how haggard you look these few days …"
The Eldest Princess shook her head and said, "It's alright. I can still hold on."
"It's not a matter of whether you can hold on or not …" Li Yi shook his head and said seriously, "In the past, when you and Ruyi stood together, you were evenly matched. Now, she has taken 70% of the advantage. You only have 30% left …"
When Li Mingzhu heard that, she was taken aback for a moment before she gave a faint smile. She turned around and attentively helped him adjust his collar. She asked, "Do you know why Liu Ruyi … always likes to beat you up?"
"Why?"
Li Yi immediately became spirited and asked curiously.
This was something he had been puzzled about for a long time. He couldn't understand why the violent and savage Miss.Liu didn't beat others but always beat him. In the end, he could only attribute it to the whole family. She couldn't beat Ruyi and beating Xiao Huan would seem like bullying the weak. She could only bully him to get a little bit of psychological satisfaction.
MIngzhu helped him fix his collar. Then she clenched her fist again and said, "Because I also like …"
