Chapter 313 Which No. 1 Assassin?
Shi Li looked at the two wet and frightened birds, lowered his eyes, and subconsciously looked around.
With her eyesight, she couldn't see any signs of trouble.
Apart from the romantic candlelight and fluttering ribbons, there was no suspicious figure in sight.
At this time, other servants in the mansion also rushed over to take care of Xuanqing and Taoyi.
"Princess?" Fu Jin shook off the water on her body and returned to Shi Li, only to find that she was in a daze.
"Hmm? Nothing, go with them and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."
Shi Li came back to her senses and looked at the shimmering lake. She seemed to smell a faint and familiar fragrance at the tip of her nose, but she couldn't tell what it was.
It's not a floral scent, but rather the scent of fruit harvest in autumn. It's sweet but also slightly sour, which is a bit strange.
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die! Princess, please don't be angry!"
The city lord arrived late, and as soon as he walked over he began to apologize to Shi Li, without even having the chance to take a look at his poor son.
Anyway, he has many sons. Xuanqing is just the son of a concubine of lowly status in the mansion. The only reason he was brought here today is because he has a good-looking face.
Who knew that not only did it fail to make the princess look at him differently, but it also brought him into big trouble. The city lord now wishes he could kill his own son.
"It's okay. Please ask the city lord to send someone to take my maid to change into clean clothes."
Shi Li glanced at Xuan Qing, who was still telling people around him that "someone was trying to harm him", and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Yes, yes, yes! Princess, please follow me. I will lead the way for you. The banquet is ready." The city lord asked someone to take Fujin to change clothes, while he personally led the way for Shi Li.
Shi Li did not hesitate and followed the city lord away from the lake. The candlelight lightly passed through her temples, and the gem adorning her forehead reflected a dazzling arc of light.
Unexpectedly, it caught the eyes of someone in the dark.
Because the standing angle was well chosen, no one noticed Xuan Yi's presence even though he was standing behind a rockery not far away.
He folded his arms, leaned lazily against the rockery, raised his white fingers to cover his eyes, and his other hand was playing with a few angular stones.
Therefore, Xuanqing and Taoyi were not suffering from paranoia. They were indeed hit on the knees by a stone and fell into the water.
But that's what they deserved, because they provoked the wrong person.
Xuan Yi didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he just hit their knees and calves with stones. Otherwise, considering how loudly Xuan Qing shouted in front of Shi Li just now, he would probably lose his tongue and his life.
His eyes followed Shi Li as she gradually left. Xuan Yi moved the corners of his mouth, threw the last stone out casually, and then walked out of the rockery.
Walking through the garden that was as bright as day, he was dressed in a bright red robe, his figure was like a ghost, but he was not noticed by anyone.
"Ahhh!"
By the lake, the sound of ghosts howling could be heard again.
"Someone hit me on the head! Protect me quickly!"
The screams could be heard from far away, and Shi Li couldn't help but stop.
The city lord's face turned pale, and he could barely keep his smile. He gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, please forgive me for making fun of you. My son... seems to have fallen into the water just now and his brain is not in good condition."
Shi Li: In order to distance yourself from the matter, you are really trying hard to discredit your own son.
But she doesn't really care.
The only thing that remained in my mind was what Tao Yi had just said.
If someone really hit her knee with a stone and made her fall into the water, who could it be?
Suddenly some impossible fantasies and expectations arose in his heart. Shi Li unconsciously pinched the sleeves embroidered with gold patterns, and his heartbeat slightly accelerated.
Even though I know it is impossible, I still hold on to unrealistic fantasies.
This is probably what it means to be happy.
[I think someone didn't really leave, although I have no evidence~]
[According to the general conclusion of film and television dramas, it is like this upstairs! 】
[So my CP still has a chance of a happy ending, right? ? ? ]
The above words come from a secret discussion group.
In order not to alert the enemy, the commentators tacitly agreed not to discuss CP in the live broadcast room and all moved to the discussion group.
Fortunately, Shi Li was distracted at the moment, so he didn't notice that the number of active people in his live broadcast room dropped suddenly, and the number of barrages suddenly became very small.
Soon, Shi Li followed the city lord to the place where the banquet was prepared.
Walk in and take a look.
Good guy!
There were at least a dozen beauties in the room, some plump and some slim. When they saw the city lord coming in, they immediately stood up to greet him enthusiastically.
"Hurry up and salute the princess!"
Before Shi Li could come to her senses, she heard the city lord's voice and then reacted.
All the beauties in this room should be the city lord's concubines. No wonder he doesn't care about Xuan Qing.
Since he had so many concubines, he couldn't be short of sons. Even if one of them drowned, it wouldn't seem like a big loss.
For a moment, Shi Li felt a little sorry for Xuan Qing.
