The hideous scar on the leg is still very clear.
Every time he sees them, he's reminded of how he felt when he was hurt.
At that time, his legs were hit by boulders, and he fell into a pool of blood. The pain was so painful that he couldn't get up.
Even after narrowly escaping from death, he was not at all lucky.
Because he knew that he would never stand up again.
For the rest of his life, he could only survive in a wheelchair.
The end of the hero, the future is dark.
It's better to die, once and for all.
But at this time, Li Ji saw a little bit of starlight from the deep and hopeless darkness.
That is the starlight that represents hope.
Li Ji raised his hand slowly.
The palm fell on his lap.
He could feel the firmness of his leg muscles under his palm.
You can also feel the warmth from the palm through your legs.
The touch is real.
All this is true.
He is not dreaming.
After a long time, Li Ji raised his eyes and looked at the woman kneeling in front of him.
Her eyes were full of starlight.
The light made him feel like he was being burned, and even his heart couldn't help but feel slightly warmed up.
He spoke softly.
"you win."
Hua Manman knew that he was talking about the original bet.
She smiled and said: "Your legs haven't fully healed yet, you might as well wait..."
Li Ji interrupted her with a firm tone: "You are the one who won."
Hua Manman smiled even more happily: "You trust me so much."
Li Ji responded seriously.
"The king trusts you."
Hua Manman became more and more complacent, smiling so much that her eyes bent into crescent moons.
"According to the agreement, the loser must agree to a condition for the winner."
Li Ji: "What do you want?"
Hua Manman: "I haven't decided what I want yet, so let's save it first, and I will tell you later when I need it."
Li Ji said yes.
Hua Manman originally wanted to use this condition to ask King Zhao to help him when he was in trouble in the future.
However, what she didn't expect was that her troubles came so quickly.
That night.
She was sleeping soundly when she heard a rapid knock on the door.
Hua Manman was startled awake and hurriedly sat up.
She looked at the bed and found that King Zhao had also woken up.
Hua Manman lifted the quilt and got out of bed, picked up the oil lamp by the bed, and walked quickly towards the door.
Opening the door, she found that the person standing outside was Chen Wangbei.
Chen Wangbei said anxiously: "Ruren, something happened to your sister!"
Hua Manman's heart skipped a beat.
What happened to Hua Qingqing in the middle of the night
She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"
Chen Wangbei said quickly.
"The sage sent someone over just now, saying that after he was drunk, he accidentally had an affair with Miss Zhong'anbo Mansion.
Now Hua Qingqing's mood is very unstable, the saint knows that you are her younger sister, and wants you to go over and help her comfort her. "
Hua Manman opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Sage and my sister?"
Chen Wangbei felt that it was not easy to talk about this kind of thing, he avoided Hua Ruren's sight in embarrassment, and reminded with cupped hands.
"Ruren, the saint is still waiting, please hurry up."
Hua Manman really admires the plot.
Obviously Hua Qingqing has already been spotted by the prince, and the plot can come back on its own, forcibly linking Hua Qingqing and the emperor.
She said something to Chen Wangbei.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get dressed."
Hua Manman closed the door, turned around and went back into the house.
While she was getting dressed, she said to King Zhao who was sitting on the bed.
"Something happened to my elder sister, I have to go over there, you continue to sleep with yours, and I will come back when I'm done with work."
This is Yuqing Palace, where the emperor, empress, and queen mother all live, and the guards are very strict. Li Ji is not worried that she will encounter danger here.
But he said it anyway.
"My lord will go with you."
