shock!The down-and-out prince is actually a black-bellied villain

Chapter 177 Chapter 177: Letting go

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's questioning, Xiao Cui replied without holding back and sobbing: "My servant, I just went to look for Village Chief Li, and I accidentally fell into a ditch, and I just climbed up now."

Seeing her embarrassed look, Ye Li finally understood why it took so long to call someone.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but gave her a blank look, and cursed in a low voice: "What can I tell you to do!"

Xiaocui lowered her head and dared not answer.

Ye Li saw that Xiao Cui was seriously injured, so he smoothed things over and said, "Okay, everyone is fine now, let's go back first!"

Because Ye Li had just rescued them, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but give Ye Li face, her expression eased, and she said to Xiao Cui: "Go back first!"

When they got home, they knocked on the door twice, and the door was opened from the inside. It was obvious that the two little guys were waiting anxiously.

Huzi: "Auntie, why did you come back?"

Ye Li: "Something happened on the road." Then he walked inside.

Huzi stood by and looked at the injured Xiao Cui, frowning unconsciously.

Entering the house exhausted, I saw that the dumpling fillings on the table had already been wrapped, and there were all kinds of dumplings lying on the grates.

Ye Li was overjoyed when he saw it, and asked softly, "You made it?"

Huzi nodded, "We see that you haven't come back for so long, so we will pack it first."

Ye Li patted his head and praised: "It's really good."

After talking to Hu Zi, Ye Li turned to look at Mrs. Zhao and the others.

After experiencing such a farce, Mrs. Zhao couldn't control the exhaustion on her face, and now she is just holding on.

Ms. Zhao's condition was even worse, her face was ashen, without any aura of the past.

The most energetic of the three of them should be Xiao Cui, but also because of the injuries all over her body, she looked in a mess.

Ye Li sighed helplessly, patted Huzi's head and asked, "Is there still hot water in the kitchen?"

Hu Zi nodded and replied heartily: "Yes."

After hearing this, Ye Li said to Mrs. Zhao: "Give Ms. Zhao a bath first, let her relax!"

Mrs. Zhao nodded tiredly after listening.

Because Ms. Zhao was in a trance, Xiaocui fell and injured herself, so only Ye Li and Mrs. Zhao went to carry the water.

While scooping water into the bucket, Mrs. Zhao smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect my majestic first- and second-rank lady to be reduced to such a point."

Ye Li stood aside and waited for her to finish scooping up the water, and carried the bucket to a special clean room. Hearing her words, he subconsciously said, "I used to be a princess! I don't do everything now."

Mrs. Zhao turned her head to look at Ye Li, her eyes were full of admiration, "I used to look down on you, but now I know that you are the most powerful one."

"I also know why King Xiao brought you to this bitter cold place alone."

Ye Li curled his lips, thinking that it was Lin Xiao who knew that she could endure hardships so much, at that time he just couldn't get used to the original owner!

"It's not too late for you to think about it now. Although I don't know what Master Zhao is doing now, I can't go wrong if he can follow my lord." Ye Li looked at Mrs. Zhao and couldn't help comforting him.

She didn't know much about this court before, but after this drought, she has fully understood the court's inaction.

With so many refugees outside, the imperial court did not take any measures to relieve the disaster and rescue the people. Instead, they drove the victims everywhere.

Moreover, the disasters on their side were so severe that the imperial court not only did not reduce taxes, but increased them instead. It is really not easy for them to be able to stabilize the country.

After all, Mrs. Zhao is a court wife, and she knows the situation of the court better than Ye Li. Soon she figured out Mr. Zhao's intentions, and looked at Ye Li more respectfully.

In the past, she was the one who mistook pearls for fish eyes. It was her preconceived ideas.

"Princess, it was all my wife's fault in the past. I hope you don't remember the villain's mistakes, and don't be as knowledgeable as us." Mrs. Zhao put down the ladle in her hand, curtseyed to Ye Li, and said sincerely.

Seeing her sincerity, Ye Li treated her better, otherwise she would be so angry that they would find trouble for her every day.

Raising his hand to support Mrs. Zhao, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, you are too polite. I am entrusted by my man, and I have to protect you no matter what."

Mrs. Zhao felt more guilty when she saw Ye Li being so open-minded, "Thank you, my lord, for not caring about us."

Ye Li: "Don't call me the old concubine or concubine. We have already been reduced to common people by the emperor. If you really don't know how to call me, then you can call me Mrs. Lin, or Ye Li."

Mrs. Zhao saw that Ye Li had no airs at all, and her face relaxed a lot, "Since I was said to be your aunt, how about I call you Li'er!"

Although Ye Li felt that calling like this was very intimate, he still nodded in response.

The two of them had talked so much, and the knots surrounding them were also untied a lot, and it was much easier to get along with each other than before.

Ye Li poured all the water into the big bucket in the clean room, and asked Mrs. Zhao to accompany Zhao Qing to take a bath, while he found golden sore medicine to apply medicine to Xiao Cui.

Because Xiaocui did something wrong, she is now full of annoyance, sitting honestly on the chair in the main room, with her head down, with a dejected look on her face.

When Ye Li came in with the golden sore medicine, Xiao Cui didn't react at all.

Seeing her, Ye Li couldn't help coughing lightly, which brought Xiao Cui back to his senses.

Xiao Cui raised her head to look at Ye Li, with tears all over her face, she sobbed and asked, "Miss Lin, my lady was not spoiled by that beast, right?"

Although she had been with her young lady just now, her young lady's condition was really not right, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she held back until now.

Seeing her guilty face, Ye Li's impression of her has changed a lot. She thought that Xiaocui was just like the Erya next door, selfish and selfish!I didn't expect it to be a little human.

"Touched by Sun Wei, but not ruined."

Xiaocui immediately clenched her fists when she heard this, and her face became gloomy, "I have to fight this beast to my death."

Seeing her like this, Ye Li couldn't help pouring cold water on her and said: "As you are now, don't talk about fighting him desperately, just don't fold yourself anywhere."

"Okay, don't think too much about it, I'll give you medicine first."

When Xiao Cui heard Ye Li say this, she immediately opened her eyes wide, and looked at her in disbelief, "You want to give me medicine?"

Ye Li pouted, "Otherwise? Can you do it yourself?"

Xiao Cui immediately lowered her head when she heard this, her eyes were full of sadness.

She didn't expect that the person she despised the most would be the one who would warm her up when she was most embarrassed.

Xiao Cui whispered, "Thank you."
