Chapter 200 Don't Allow Others to Covet You
"What I mean is...you were too presumptuous on the training ground today." Shen Li raised his eyes and reproached.
Jin Zhao thought for a moment, then decided to play dumb, "Which matter are you referring to? Capture the flag or... fight for you?"
Shen Li said angrily: "You know exactly what it is."
Jin Zhao's eyes locked on him, and he deliberately tried to ask: "It can't be... about getting married, right?"
Shen Li didn't say a word, but raised his eyes and gave him a sideways glance.
"What? Could it be that you really want to marry that princess?"
Shen Li's face darkened, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yeah, so what if I want to marry you?"
Jin Zhao stared into his eyes, and after a while, he smiled brightly and said, "You think I really believe it. You don't have the slightest intention of marrying in your expression."
"Then you asked just now, and, today on the training ground... it's unnecessary."
"Is it superfluous? I don't allow others to covet you, not even women."
Seeing the domineering and persistent look in Jin Zhao's eyes, Shen Li suddenly felt dazed.
Seeing that his expression was wandering, Jin Zhao stepped forward and held his hand, and said softly, "If you feel that what I did was too obvious, I will restrain myself in the future, so as not to embarrass you."
Shen Li raised his eyes to look at the gentle man in front of him. He remembered that every time he saw him, he always looked rebellious. When had he been so gentle and lowered his posture.
But the more he did this, the more he struggled inside.
"Your Highness, there are some things I haven't said. I'm afraid you don't understand my intentions. If you don't want to hear them, then I won't say anything." Jin Zhao raised his hand to stroke the black hair on his temples, and gently kissed him.Between his brows.
Not long after the words were finished, there was a movement at the door.
Shen Li's mind froze, and he instinctively pushed away his body.
Jin Zhao didn't bother to say anything, walked to the door and opened it.
"General Pei, what's the matter?"
Leaning on crutches, Pei Jianing walked around Jin Zhao and Shen Li with complicated expressions, and then said in a normal tone: "When I was just getting the medicine, the servant said that the medicine you boiled earlier is ready, and asked when you can get it."
Only then did Jin Zhao think about the medicine, patted his forehead, "Let's go."
After Jin Zhao left, Pei Jianing stayed on crutches for a long time, Shen Li seemed to realize something, and asked, "Is General Pei still doing something?"
Pei Jianing stared at him for a moment, then stepped into the room and closed the door voluntarily.
Standing behind him, Shen Li vaguely felt something.
"Your Highness, it should be...not what the humble official thinks."
Even so, Pei Jianing's tone implied certainty.
Shen Li was silent for a moment, then said: "What is General Pei thinking?"
"I didn't know that Jin Zhao had such thoughts for you."
Hearing this, Shen Li's brows twitched violently, and his hands in his sleeves were subconsciously clenched.
"General Pei...Maybe I misunderstood something." Shen Li said calmly.
Pei Jianing said indifferently: "Actually, I noticed early in the morning that Jin Zhao is very special to His Highness. As long as he is on the same occasion, his eyes are almost always on His Highness. Also... when His Highness was framed and disappeared earlier,He searched for you almost non-stop, killed Zhang Yuyi and punished Zhang Huai for you."
When he said this, Shen Li's expression instantly changed from indifference to astonishment, "You... how do you know so much?"
"It's just that I haven't mentioned it to Jin Zhao. These...it's not hard to see. Besides...I also heard a little bit of your conversation just now, so Your Highness...don't need to hide it anymore."
A bead of sweat appeared on Shen Li's forehead at some point, "Please...General Pei don't make things difficult for him."
Pei Jianing was surprised, in his cognition, Li Wang always acted as if he had nothing to do with himself and was superior, he would never take the initiative to ask others to do something, now...it seems a little different.
"Your Highness, you should rest assured that I am on good terms with him, and I will not embarrass him with this matter, but... Your Highness really intends to let it go like this forever?"
Hearing this, Shen Li didn't respond for a while, and seemed to be struggling in his heart.
"Jin Zhao...he is very good. It can be seen that he will make some achievements in the future, but he is stubborn. If he decides on one thing...maybe he will fall into it with all his heart. I'm afraid it's his...a fate.Door."
Pei Jianing made a pun, but he didn't make it obvious, but he straightened out the truth. It was rare for Shen Li not to reply, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"He stepped in this gate of life by himself, so he will not go out by himself, Your Highness..."
"You think too much, he and I... don't have those twists and turns, everything is just his wishful thinking." Shen Li clenched the edge of his sleeves.
"Really? But just now His Highness did not refuse so simply, you may have long ago..."
"General Pei, please be careful with your words!" Shen Li raised his voice and interrupted him sharply.
Pei Jianing nodded in understanding, and walked towards the door with a cane. Before leaving, she said, "Since that's the case, I'm going to say more. Your Highness should know it well."
When Jin Zhao came back with the wooden basin, the man was facing away from him, wondering what he was thinking.
He put down the wooden basin and walked behind Shen Li. As soon as his palm touched his shoulder, the man's body shrank. The movement was a bit sudden. Jin Zhao's hand was frozen in the air, and he didn't react for a while.
Shen Li turned his back to Jin Zhao, and after a while, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, between you and me...it can't be like this."
Jin Zhao regained his composure slightly, put down his hand, reacted for a few seconds, and could vaguely understand the seriousness in his tone, not complaining like usual.
He suddenly realized what Shen Li meant by "it can't be like this".
He also knew that for an ancient man with conservative thinking, such things... would not be easy to accept, and he didn't want to force him, but...he just didn't want to give up so easily.
He pretended not to care and said: "Let's talk about it later, the potion should be cold." He said, trying to pull Shen Li's hand.
Shen Li suddenly turned around and avoided him, "Stop doing this again, do you understand?"
Jin Zhao raised his eyes slightly, and asked with a suppressed voice, "So... what does Your Highness mean?"
Shen Li exhaled a foul breath, "Let's return to their respective positions, you and I can't help ourselves, we can't be entangled together like this." Suddenly it occurred to him... On the training ground today, what he did was so obvious...
In the court before, this person recklessly stood up for him and pulled Zhang Huai down in one fell swoop. He was already feared by others, but now he speaks for him in front of so many people, it is hard not to make people suspect their integrityrelation.
Shen Li knew that he had made many enemies in the court, he was used to doing whatever he wanted, and it didn't matter what the outcome was, but...he really didn't want to drag this person into trouble.
During these days, this person has treated him meticulously, no one is ruthless, he almost fell into this gentle village, and was almost bewitched by this person.
If it hadn't been pointed out by Pei Jianing just now, maybe... he still doesn't want to wake up.
A phenomenon that even Pei Jianing can see... It's probably not difficult for others to see it.
He couldn't let it go any longer, he was afraid that he would get deeper and deeper, and he was even more afraid that the person in front of him whom he least wanted to hurt would bear some dirty name...
