A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Why aren't you guys going to rest yet? Are you planning on coming over to help clean up? I know you're the most loyal friends."

"No... no! Well, I remembered I have something else to do. I'll go upstairs first." The Ninth Princess raised her hand and touched the back of her head with a slight embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and then quickly left.

Yi Duoer's eyes met Li Yue's again. Li Yue, feeling guilty, also looked away and said, "Oh! That, I too... How can I, the dignified Princess Yingjue, do such rough work? Hao Duoer, do your best. I'm rooting for you!"

After saying that, she ran in the direction where the Ninth Princess left. Yi Duoer smiled knowingly. She was just joking with them. These two people were so cute!

Yi Duoer asked Chu Junheng why he didn't go to rest, and he said he would clean up with Duoer. He is not a prince who just opens his mouth for food and stretches out his hand for clothes!

Then he and the muscular boss lifted some heavy items. The boss's wife looked at his hard work and said with a playful smile:

"Girl, your husband is not only handsome but also very skillful at work. You are so lucky!"

Yi Duoer was wiping the tables and chairs. After hearing this, she stopped and looked up at Chu Junheng. She smiled and replied to the boss lady, "He is not her husband. But he is her best friend!"

Chu Junheng had a small chuckle in his heart when he heard what the boss lady said. He had a good impression of Yi Duoer. This was beyond doubt. But Yi Duoer denied it.

He raised his eyes and met Yi Duoer's smiling face. He still felt so beautiful in his heart and smiled at her.

At this time, the boss who was working nearby smiled and said in a doting tone, "My dear, you just love to talk nonsense! I see that this girl is so young, she must not be married yet!"

The proprietress looked a little embarrassed. Yi Duoer smiled but said nothing. However, she couldn't resist her curiosity and began to inquire about the origins of that group of bandits.

When talking about this, the boss couple who were still joking with them had a few more worried expressions on their faces.

Originally, this place was very peaceful, but recently, a group of ruthless bandits came from Qingfeng Mountain, sixty miles to the east. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil!

The proprietress spoke in an angry tone, and her expression showed helplessness.

There are such a group of evil bandits in the territory of Qi Dynasty. Why don't the government eliminate them? Instead, they are allowed to grow rampant.

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Qingfeng Mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack! The county magistrate sent several teams, but all returned empty-handed!

So this makes them even more unscrupulous.

"I think my post station is about to close down. Sigh... My dear, this post station has been with us for all these years, I just can't bear to let it go..." The proprietress spread her hands, covered her face and cried! Her voice was choked with sobs.

The boss hugged her lovingly and comforted her!

Yi Duoer felt angry and pitiful at the moment. Perhaps it was related to her occupation in modern times. She has always had the responsibility to protect the people.

She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start. She wasn't an official either. She could do nothing to help with such a matter. She could only pray that Chu Junye could successfully eliminate the bandits!

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little depressing, and the proprietress immediately smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She used a gentle tone to comfort him!

"Oh, no more. Didn't so many soldiers come just now? We should trust them. By the way, girl, you are a good child. What's your name? My name is Mo Niang! If you don't mind, just call me sister!"

Judging from Mo Niang's tone, she quite likes this kind and cheerful Yi Duoer.

Yi Duoer was overjoyed and nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on her red lips, and she politely called her sister.

Mo Niang responded sweetly, smiling happily, and then took the rag back from her hand.

Let them go back and rest, but Yi Duoer couldn't sleep at all. She refused them, thinking that doing things could help her sleep better.

Mo Niang couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of heartache, saying words of sympathy for her, and forcibly placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Good sister, go and have a rest, your brother and I are here!"

Then he helped her walk upstairs. Yi Duoer had no choice but to accept it. Yi Duoer and Chu Junheng went up to the attic and stood in the corridor. Yi Duoer raised her eyes slightly, pulled Chu Junheng who was walking, and said:

"Brother Xiaowu, you should take them back tomorrow. It seems the journey here is not peaceful!"

Her tone was firm. She came out on business, not just for sightseeing. So she didn't want to take care of these distinguished ladies!

Chu Junheng refused. It was precisely because the situation was not peaceful that he wanted to stay to protect Yi Duoer. At least he could take care of her!

His meaning was very clear, and a look of determination appeared on his face.

"You don't have to worry about me. Isn't Han Bo here? Although he has a bad temper, he is a martial arts master! I'll be fine." Yi Duoer patted her chest to assure, her pretty cheeks flushed like peach blossoms.

When he heard Han Bo, his eyes drooped silently. He looked at Yi Duoer seriously, not as sunny as before. He asked in a low voice:

"Duo'er, are you and the emperor's uncle?" In the end, he didn't have the courage to ask further. He was afraid of getting an answer he didn't want to hear.

Yi Duoer found him acting strangely today and was very surprised. She asked in confusion, "What happened between me and the Regent?"

"It's okay..." Chu Junye answered without thinking, looking at Yi Duoer with a hint of love in his eyes. Then he choked and said in a low voice:

"Will you and Third Brother still be together?"

"No, I just want to be with one person for the rest of my life. To put it bluntly, he and I just don't love each other!" She didn't need to think about this question before answering it directly. Then she said a simple goodnight to him, turned around, opened the door, and walked into the room!

Chu Junheng, who was standing there at this moment, was bewildered. "A lifetime together, Duo'er, is this a dream? Even marrying a commoner is difficult!"

The next morning, after Yi Duoer said goodbye to Mo Niang, Chu Junye did not want to miss the opportunity to suppress the bandits, so he explained to Yi Duoer.

In fact, Yi Duoer was so happy that she no longer had to endure Chu Junye's bad face. Zhu Qingxue had followed Chu Junye in the first place and now wanted to stay.

Chu Junye didn't want her to be in danger with him, so he sent someone to send her back to the capital. She felt relieved when she saw that Chu Junye stayed to suppress the bandits and was not with Yi Duoer.

Besides, she had wanted to return to Beijing for a long time. She had always lived a life of luxury and naturally couldn't stand the life here.

Not only was he relieved, but he was also very proud. In his heart, Yi Duoer was no better than him. Taking this opportunity, Yi Duoer insisted that the two princesses also return to the capital with him.
