Chapter 382 Do you like Ji Chilian so much?
"Lord Governor, I was the first one to see the princess close the door, so I misunderstood you." Bao Huaer calmed down a lot and gently tugged at Yi Qianyuan's sleeve. "You also know that Lord Governor and the princess were talking about serious matters. We were indeed at fault in this matter..."
"I apologize to Lord Governor." Yi Qianyuan said without hesitation, clasping his fists and bowing, "I have already apologized, and please apologize to Lord Governor for hurting my wife!"
Ji Chilian put one hand behind his back and looked at Yi Qianyuan quietly, with no intention of taking any action.
The atmosphere of silence and an invisible sense of oppression spread in the air.
"It's my fault. I forgot the etiquette and closed the door. I am to blame for this matter." Princess Lianhe stepped forward to smooth things over and handed a bottle of golden wound medicine to Bao Huaer. "Please don't blame me, Madam. This is the best healing medicine I have ever asked for. Madam, apply it on time three times a day to ensure that the wound will not leave any scars."
"Princess, you are too serious. It's just a misunderstanding." Bao Huaer accepted the ointment and once again pulled Yi Qianyuan beside her, "Okay, don't be angry for the moment, so as not to cause trouble for Huan'er."
Yi Qianyuan, who had originally shown no sign of retreat, gradually restrained the hostility around him.
"Today, for the sake of my wife and Huan'er, I will not bother with you. Ji Chilian, although you and Huan'er have not yet married, since you already have an engagement, you'd better restrain yourself. Otherwise, if I find out that you have done anything to let Huan'er down, I will never forgive you." Yi Qianyuan left these words, picked up Bao Hua'er and left.
"No matter how generous the Duke of Yi is, he shouldn't take his wife away in public like this! It's really disgraceful." Princess Lianhe sighed and shook her head, "Chi Lian, you have always been the most concerned about your reputation. The Duke of Yi's family is famous for being dominated by their wives. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, I'm afraid you will lose face."
"Indeed, this is a point of disagreement between the governor and the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion." Ji Chilian said lightly.
Princess Lianhe didn't expect that her provocation would resonate with Ji Chilian. She seized the opportunity and pressed on: "I have always believed that the Governor and the State God are not a good match. The State God has too high a status and is not the best marriage partner for the Governor..."
"So Princess, are you planning to recommend yourself next?" Ji Chilian saw through Princess Lianhe's thoughts without waiting for her to finish.
Princess Lianhe's face suddenly turned red, and she mustered up the courage to continue: "Chi Lian, you have always understood my feelings for you... Unlike the national god, I am willing to give up everything I have and support you behind your back! Believe me, when the time comes, the help I can give you will not be less than that of the national god, but I will never suppress you!"
Princess Lianhe believed that Ji Chilian would not reject her.
After all, what man in this world would not like a gentle woman?
Yi Qianhuan's status is too high and her talent is too prominent. When men see her beauty, they may covet her for a while, but who can stand her strength and dominance?
She was well aware of Yi Qianhuan's pride, and she knew that Yi Qianhuan would not compromise for anyone.
That's why she offered to give everything to assist Ji Chilian!
Princess Lianhe's heart was beating like a drum, and she was nervously waiting for Ji Chilian's answer.
Ji Chilian, who had a blank expression just now, suddenly smiled.
The curve of his lips was just right, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. It also made Princess Lianhe's blood almost boil, and she excitedly took a step closer to Ji Chilian.
"Do you know why I didn't choose you?"
Ji Chilian's words mixed with a sneer made Princess Lianhe's heart fall into an icy cave.
"Chi Lian..."
"If a woman is too boring, she will lose her soul. What I want is a wife, not a walking corpse who only responds." Ji Chilian slowly distanced himself from Princess Lianhe.
Princess Lianhe suddenly came to her senses and looked at Ji Chilian with disbelief in her eyes.
She really never expected that the thing she thought was the most worthwhile would actually become her Achilles' heel!
"But she is the national goddess! In the hearts of the people of Yunzhao, her status even exceeds that of a princess like me. Chi Lian, she..."
"She is indeed very good." Ji Chilian calmly looked at Princess Lianhe's broken expression, "And this governor also deserves the best."
Princess Lianhe was trembling all over, her face suddenly turned pale and she stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Ji Chilian returning to the room and closing the door.
Here, the news of Bao Huaer's injury alarmed Yi Qianhuan.
When Yi Qianhuan rushed to Bao Huaer's residence, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his elder brother coaxing Bao Huaer to take medicine.
Bao Huaer was sitting on the bed, with a look of confusion on her face. She casually lifted the blanket covering her body and said, "I only hurt my neck, not my leg. Why do I have to lie in bed to recover? You are making a big fuss out of nothing!"
"You have injured your vital point this time, which is supposed to be much more serious than a broken leg! Just listen to me, lie down and drink the medicine quickly. This is a blood-replenishing medicine that I specially asked someone to prepare. You must take good care of it." Yi Qianyuan said seriously, holding a spoon and putting it into Bao Huaer's mouth.
Bao Huaer dodged and pushed Yi Qianyuan away, just in time to see Yi Qianhuan standing at the door: "Huan'er is here. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."
"I seem to have come at an unfortunate time. I am sorry to have disturbed my elder brother and sister-in-law." Yi Qianhuan said with a smile, "But it seems that my elder sister-in-law is in good health. I feel relieved."
"I'm fine to begin with, it's your elder brother who's making a fuss." Bao Hua'er was forced into a corner by Yi Qianyuan, and took the medicine bowl from him with both hands, "I'll drink it myself, you take Huan'er outside to drink tea, don't let the medicine fumes in the room get to Huan'er."
Yi Qianyuan saw Bao Huaer finish a bowl of medicine in one gulp, and said with a rather regretful tone: "I could have fed you."
Bao Huaer quickly ate two bites of candied fruit and waved her hand perfunctorily: "Hurry up and take Huan'er to have tea!"
Yi Qianyuan had no choice but to do as he was told.
In the courtyard, Yi Qianyuan told Yi Qianhuan the whole story in detail.
"Brother, you have never been an impulsive person. This time, it should be you who took the initiative to expose yourself, right?" Yi Qianhuan asked directly after listening to what happened.
Who is her eldest brother?
He was the only son of the Duke of Italy at that time. He grew up on the frontier, dealt with the enemy country for more than ten years, and experienced many ups and downs and life and death.
It was a joke that such a young general would be discovered because of the sound of footsteps when eavesdropping.
Unless, he was discovered on purpose.
"My sister still understands me." Yi Qianyuan took a sip of tea, put away the cynical smile on his face, and said seriously: "Under the circumstances at that time, I could only interrupt Lian He to prevent that woman from saying anything else that would harm you."
"I understand your good intentions, big brother. But my feelings for Yubao are evident to all, and Lord Governor will not believe Princess Lianhe's instigation." Yi Qianhuan said frankly, but he found that Yi Qianyuan looked at him with a very strange expression.
"Sister, do you like Ji Chilian so much?"
Yi Qianhuan was slightly startled.
"I just simply think he won't." Because she knew Ji Chilian, she knew very well how smart the man was.
If Ji Chilian could be provoked by Princess Lianhe's few words, then he would not be Ji Chilian!
