Chapter 19: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
"Imperial sister?"
Xiao Jin noticed every move Shi Li made. When he saw her stand up, he immediately put down his wine glass and gave her questioning attention.
"I, I'm going to change clothes." Shi Li used an excuse that everyone liked to use.
After successfully dealing with Xiao Jin, she lifted her skirt and walked out of the palace as inconspicuously as possible.
It was already dark outside.
The night is as cool as water, and the gentle breeze carries a hint of coolness.
Shi Li gathered the shawl in her arms and walked forward while quietly observing her surroundings, trying to find Shao Quan.
She just wanted to ask if the arrow wound in his back had healed.
If possible, she would like to ask the imperial physician to take another look at Shao Quan's injuries.
As she walked, Shi Li stopped and regretted that she had come out in such a hurry that she did not bring Wu Yan with her.
Anyway, she has so many inkstones that she can't use them all. She has been using Shao Quan's original inkstone for so many years, so she might as well use it as a way of repaying him for his care during this period of time.
Shi Li tried desperately to find excuses for herself, just because she didn't want to admit her true feelings.
She will leave this world sooner or later, so there is no need and no way for her to establish a close relationship with anyone.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a rockery not far ahead, and a familiar figure seemed to be standing next to it.
Shi Li's heart started pounding, and she subconsciously held her breath and tiptoed over.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a strange but gentle female voice.
Shi Li suddenly stopped and did not move forward.
There happened to be a patch of particularly lush shrubs next to her, and she could hide herself perfectly by squatting down.
Shi Li thought for a second, squatted silently behind the bushes, and then looked at the other end of the rockery again.
The lights were dim, and the man's handsome silhouette was reflected on the ground. His profile was shrouded in moonlight, as if covered with a layer of gentle mist. It was really beautiful.
But the gorgeous girl standing next to him made Shi Li angry.
On the surface, there are very few comments in the live broadcast room.
In fact, everyone was already having a great time chatting in the private discussion group.
【Jealous, jealous!!!】
【The Shura Field is coming! 】
[I believe in the Grand Master, maybe it can even help two elementary school kids fall in love~]
"Master Shao, do you still remember my daughter?"
Guo Ruier is a princess of distinguished status and has a reputation for arrogance in Shengdu. But now standing in front of Shao Quan, she is as shy and timid as an ordinary girl.
She has admired Shao Quan for a long time, and today she finally found the opportunity, so she chased him and boldly expressed her feelings.
"Princess, please respect yourself." Shao Quan had a blank expression on his face and even took a step back.
Shao Quan at this time was exactly the same as when Shi Li first met him.
Shi Li couldn't help but think of their first meeting. The haze in her heart faded away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was so brave at that time that she dared to touch Shao Quan's hand for a bounty mission.
Guo Ruier seemed to want to have some affection as well. She lowered her eyes and suddenly stretched out a hand towards Shao Quan.
Her target was very clear, which was to get Shao Quan's hand, and her movements were even faster than Shi Li's at the beginning.
Shi Li could only watch, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Shao Quan couldn't even dodge himself at the beginning, so it is even more impossible for him to dodge Guo Ruier now!
She felt sour in her heart, but who knew what would happen next would completely overturn her cognition.
The moment Guo Ruier stretched out her hand, Shao Quan suddenly took a big step back. His reaction was so fast that he avoided Guo Ruier directly, causing her to lose balance and stagger to fall.
Even so, Shao Quan remained indifferent and showed no intention of lending a helping hand.
"How can Lord Shao be so heartless?" Guo Ruier barely stood still, her face flushed red, she tearfully accused Shao Quan, then turned around and left with her face covered.
Only Shao Quan and Shi Li who was hiding behind the bushes were left.
After witnessing the scene just now, Shi Li felt strange.
On the one hand, I felt embarrassed, but on the other hand, I felt inexplicably happy. I didn't know whether I should go out or not, so I continued to squat there, struggling.
She thought Shao Quan would leave as well, but he stood there like a piece of wood and didn't leave for a long time.
Shi Li's legs were almost numb from squatting, and she was very curious why he didn't leave and what he was doing here.
Who would have thought that Shao Quan suddenly looked at the bushes that were blocking her. Facing the moonlight, her beautiful face seemed to be glowing with soft light, revealing a hint of gentleness.
"Princess, be careful of mosquitoes in the grass."
The sound like the sound of jade tinkling against each other reached Shi Li's ears.
She first looked around, worried that there was really a mosquito, and then she suddenly reacted when she turned her head.
She was discovered?!
His neck suddenly stiffened, and then he stood up slowly and met Shao Quan's eyes again.
"I, I just happened to pass by." Shi Li looked at the deep almond-shaped eyes in front of him and stuttered rarely.
Shao Quan was stunned for a moment, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, the upward curve was like a silver arc, and then slowly turned crimson, spreading to the tips of his ears.
Then he turned his head to the other side.
In the past, even if Shao Quan didn't speak, Shi Li would still take the initiative to find something to say.
But she was so nervous now that she didn't know what to say for a long time.
The two of them just stood there awkwardly, and the silence as thick as water gradually spread.
Shi Li noticed his straight back and suddenly remembered what he wanted to say, "Master Shao...are you feeling better?"
"Princess, don't worry. He's almost recovered now." Shao Quan answered cooperatively.
But in fact, how could an arrow wound heal so quickly? Especially since he was in a hurry to enter the palace to save her that day, the wound broke open again and it hasn't healed much yet.
"Tomorrow, let the imperial physician come to your house and take a closer look." Shi Li said earnestly.
Although she didn't know that Shao Quan's wound had burst, she still felt uneasy when she recalled the wound she had seen at the beginning.
"No..." Shao Quan opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to refuse.
"your Highness?"
"Where are you, Your Highness?"
The shouts of palace servants were heard not far away.
Shi Li had been away from the banquet for a long time, and Xiao Jin was worried and sent palace servants to look for her.
"Princess, please go back soon." Shao Quan looked at the swaying lanterns not far away, the silvery moonlight reflected in his eyes.
Shi Li pursed her lips and didn't move.
"Princess?" Shao Quan frowned and looked at her in confusion.
Shi Li forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. You, you go back first."
Shao Quan looked at her stiff standing posture, and suddenly realized something. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Okay."
He clearly saw it, but he gave Shi Li enough face.
"Your humble servant... takes his leave." Finally, Shao Quan bowed to Shi Li, with his long black hair hanging in front of him. His movements were as beautiful as flowing water, yet seemed a little slow.
Then, he turned and left.
Not until his figure disappeared from sight did Shi Li finally give up trying to control her expression, and her pretty face twisted.
Woo woo woo, they’re numb. Both of my legs are numb.
Shao Quan must have wanted to make fun of her just now!
I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!
