I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 45 part 2

Chapter 45 Rebel (2)

Of course, although Chen Hui has countless legitimate reasons to excuse herself but in front of the unreasonable Li Youde, it would be fine if she only acknowledged her mistake.

Li Youde looked once angrily at Chen Hui and said coldly, “Knowing that you don’t have the skills, you still fooled around! Last night I must’ve been possessed to let you fool around!”

Presumably, his mind wasn’t clear due to being injured yesterday for him believe the nonsense of a woman and let her mess around!

“That lord can trust Lady Chen so much, this Lady Chen is so grateful…,” Chen Hui said softly with lowered her head.

Li Youde choked. Recalling the words of imperial physician Zhang and thinking that although he could also go look for a more experienced military doctor, but after all, it would be difficult to find one quickly and it might take a long time to find one. Lady Chen could be regarded as helpful.

“Humph,” Li Youde turned his gaze away, “This could be considered a meritorious deed from you. Go choose whatever you want. Ah Da, take Lady Chen to the warehouse.”

Ah Da had just sent imperial physician off and came back. When he heard those words he nodded hurriedly. Before he could go get the key of the warehouse, he heard Chen Hui say, “Lord, no need to be in such a hurry. This Lady Chen would help you clean up the wound first.”

Li Youde looked once at her. He just made a faint ‘mm’ sound but he felt very comfortable in his heart.

Ah Er was familiar with what Chen Hui was going to prepare and went immediately to prepare after Chen Hui finished her instructions. Chen Hui unwrapped the cotton cloth and looked at the centipede-like wound, admiring herself with all her heart. She was truly amazing. She actually dealt with such a serious injury!

The stitched injury was not as horrible as it looked last night, but to Chen Hui it was still somewhat pungent to the eyes. However, when she thought that it was her artwork, she had a lot less resistance and she could face the injury calmly.

“Lord, have the assassins been caught?” Chen Hui asked curiously when she was bored from waiting.

Li Youde said, “No, one escaped.” He paused and reminded, “There would be foul wind and bloody rain these days in the capital. If you have nothing important, don’t go out.”

Chen Hui said, “Lord, don’t worry. This Lady Chen will definitely not go out….” Her confinement hasn’t passed yet. She didn’t dare to go out indiscriminately.

“Mm.” Li Youde nodded. This time it was an assassination attempt on the emperor. He didn’t know how many people would be implicated. He blocked a stab for the emperor. It could be considered a talisman. He wondered whether he could let the water become more muddle. Perhaps, he could even push Wang Youcai in the water. He has no enmity or hatred with that Ma Yongan. Perhaps, it was Wang Youcai who bribed Ma Yongan!

Li Youde was thinking about how to investigate Ma Yongan when he heard Chen Hui say, “Lord, the emperor is diligent, loves his people and would still mingle with the people incognito…”

Li Youde turned to look at her and frowned, “Who told you about the incognito trip?”

“…Everyone said so.” Chen Hui naturally wouldn’t betray Ah Er who told her about it. In fact, she was really curious whether this emperor liked to go on incognito trips. Then, wouldn’t she have the chance to meet him in the future? She looked a bit forward to see how the emperor looked like, but she was also afraid that she would provoke trouble if she bumped in the emperor. Her feelings were contradictory.

Li Youde looked at her and said, “Inquire less about the emperor’s affairs!”

Chen Hui nodded quickly and obediently, “Yes, lord. It is this Lady Chen who talks too much.”

“It is good that you know,” Li Youde said irritably. It was better to talk less about the emperor in private. There was the so-called, a loose tongue may cause a lot trouble. Moreover, the emperor went out of the palace, what kind of incognito trip was that?! The emperor grew up in the palace and ascended the throne at a young age. He had never been in the haunts of the common people. Since he was curious, it was just an eagerness that grew suddenly last night. Hence, they came out to play. Although, this time was to be more scared than hurt. The emperor probably wouldn’t want to go out of the palace for a long time.

Ah Er finally got everything ready. She cleaned the injury with water that had slightly cooled after boiling and disinfected it with wine. When water was used, Li Youde could still bear it. When it was wine’s turn, he raised his hand to make Chen Hui stop and said with a cold face, “Alright, I’ll do it myself. You can retreat.”

The others obediently retreated, but Chen Hui didn’t. She sat there, looked at Li Youde and said, “Lord, are you afraid of pain?”

Li Youde glared at Chen Hui, “I’m a dignified Internal Chief Eunuch, how can I be afraid…Stop!”

Seeing that Chen Hui was about to rub the wine-stained cotton cloth on his injury again, Li Youde’s complexion changed drastically. He hurriedly withdrew his arm from pain and said sternly, “Get out!”

Chen Hui looked at Li Youde who appeared fierce but was cowardly at heart and felt that he was like a kid who was afraid of getting a shot. If she went out, he would just wipe the injury casually or not wipe it at all, right?

Chen Hui was also not afraid and said to Li Youde with a sincere expression, “Lord, this Lady Chen would be very careful and not let lord get hurt…Lord, your injury must be wiped with wine, otherwise wouldn’t you be the same as those in the palace. It would be difficult for you to do it yourself. Let this Lady Chen help you!”

Li Youde’s injury hasn’t been bandaged. The pain was so unbearable that he didn’t dare to move. He glared at Chen Hui and said, “I said for you to get out!”

Chen Hui said firmly, “This Lady Chen won’t get out!”

“You dare to rebel?!” Li Youde was so angry that his injury hurt more.

Chen Hui suddenly reached out, grabbed his injured arm and pressed it tightly before Li Youde could react, “Lord, don’t move around. The injury would tear. By then, there is nothing that this Lady Chen can do!”

“Lady Chen, you dare to threaten me? Let go! If you don’t let go, I will let you suffer!” Li Youde’s stirred up voice changed his tone and reprimanded.

Chen Hui persuaded earnestly and patiently, “Lord, this Lady Chen is also doing it for your own good. How about this? If you are afraid that you wouldn’t be able to bear it, bite this.” She threw a clean cotton cloth at him. Thinking about the pain he might face in the future when removing the stitches, she felt that it was time for him to get acquainted with the pain.

Li Youde held the cotton cloth in his hand and glared fiercely at Chen Hui.

She met his gaze without fear.

Knowing that Chen Hui wouldn’t compromise easily, Li Youde was so angry that he wanted to hit her with the board, but he couldn’t open his mouth to let the servants in. He glanced at the cotton cloth in his hand and suddenly thought of an idea. The corners of his mouth raised maliciously. He grabbed Chen Hui’s arm with his uninjured hand and pulled her fiercely towards him. Her body turned and she sat on his lap.

As soon as Chen Hui’s chin hit his shoulder and she was still dumbstruck, she heard Li Youde sneer in her ear, “Lady Chen, wipe. If I can’t bear it, I will bite something.”

His hand hugged her waist tightly preventing her from getting up. His mouth was next to her ear and he could touch her shoulder as soon as he lowered his head.

Chen Hui froze. Did this exasperating eunuch have a conscience?! She kindly wanted to help him, but he wanted her to bear his pain? She quit! It was his own business if he dies from an infection. F*** him!

“…Since lord insists, it is not good for this Lady Chen to force lord. Lord, do it yourself. This Lady Chen will go out,” As Chen Hui said this, she let go of his injured hand and wanted to get up with the help of holding on to his shoulders.

Li Youde’s hand around her waist tightened and she fell back.

She heard Li Youde laugh deeply, “Since Lady Chen has the mind, I shouldn’t brush Lady Chen’s good intentions. Wipe.”

Chen Hui felt as if there was a wild beast on her shoulders staring at her. Her body stiffened. After a while, she said pitifully, “Lord…this Lady Chen doesn’t dare anymore…”

She indeed had the selfishness to look at him endure the pain but pretended to be indifferent, but it was absolutely necessary to disinfect him! She just wanted to have a laugh. It wasn’t a big mistake…

“Too late!” Li Youde humphed once and suddenly felt very good.

Chen Hui turned her head to look at him, “But this Lady Chen is also…”

Too close.

Chen Hui was pressed on Li Youde’s lap by him and her waist was hugged by him. The distance between the two of them was very close. When she subconsciously tilted her head to talk to him, the two’s faces were a bit too close.

The breathing entangled together. Chen Hui stared and could almost see the fine hairs on Li Youde’s face without makeup. At such a close distance, she only noticed now that he had double eyelids. His eyes were slightly squinted at the moment and his lips were very pale. Perhaps, because of the injury, it was slightly darker than his skin tone.

Because of Chen Hui’s sudden move, Li Youde was also stunned for a while.

Chen Hui turned her head abruptly. She had forgotten what she just wanted to say. Forget it, bit if you want. She is not him, could she be afraid of pain? If he has the ability, bite her to death!
