Chapter 330 Which No. 1 Assassin?
When they reached the carriage heading into the palace, Xuan Yi took the lead in holding Shi Li's hand and helped her onto the carriage steadily.
This action is simple, but it doesn't seem like something Xuan Yi would normally do.
After Shi Li got in the car, she couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
"I'll go back and sleep for a while and wait for you to come back." Xuan Yi loosened his wide sleeves and looked at Shi Li with a smile.
The red sleeves dancing on the snow instantly calmed her heart.
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Shi Li smiled back at him, lowered her hands and slowly lowered the curtain.
Those who have received invitations to come to the palace today are all meritorious officials.
Although Qi Yong has not officially become the emperor yet, it is inevitable that he will become the ruler of the world. Today, all the officials and their families who entered the palace felt that they were loyal to the emperor, and they were all beaming with joy.
No one cared about the decline of the previous dynasty, and no one paid attention to the hardships the people of the imperial capital had experienced before. They were all delighted that they were about to reach the peak of their lives.
The carriage that Shi Li was riding in stopped at the palace gate, and she should have gotten off the carriage and been interrogated by the guards like everyone else entering the palace.
But as soon as she lifted the curtain of the carriage and revealed half of her face, the guards on duty at the palace gate stepped back respectfully and knelt down decisively.
"Greetings, Princess. Please come in."
The guards had no intention of letting her get off the carriage and instead let her go without hesitation.
Shi Li frowned, glanced at the endless stream of carriages behind, and silently lowered the curtain again.
The driver who came out of the palace shouted "Gee!"
The carriage rolled and drove directly into the palace.
This scene was clearly seen by the carriage behind and the people in it.
"Who is sitting in that carriage? Why is he of such a distinguished status?" someone questioned immediately.
Some people saw through the clue and answered in a veiled manner: "Of course it is the former princess, who is of a very noble status."
There was an sarcasm hidden in the words.
Sun Yunshan was also sitting in her own carriage, waiting at the palace gate, waiting to be checked. Naturally, she saw Shi Li riding in the carriage unimpeded.
She sat in the car with a calm expression, and even smiled at the maid beside her, "The princess's status is indeed noble, and we can't compare to her."
"What are you talking about, young lady?" The maid squinted her eyes with disdain, "No matter how noble the princess is, it's all a thing of the past. With our general's military exploits, young lady's status is the most noble."
"Nonsense!" Sun Yunshan glared at the maid, but her fingers hidden in her sleeves were pale and stiff.
She didn't care whether the identity of Princess Guangyong was noble or not, but she cared a lot about Qi Yong's special treatment of her.
The most noble woman in the world is the queen, and she will never give up her position!
After passing the palace gate, the noisy sounds around us gradually faded away.
Shi Li sat in the carriage with her head down, her fingers gently brushing the bracelet on her wrist.
The carriage went forward for a while and finally stopped slowly.
The coachman said through the curtain, "Princess, please get off the carriage."
Shi Li responded by lifting the curtain and saw an aunt with a friendly smile standing under the carriage. She bowed to her respectfully and said, "Princess, I will lead the way for you."
This aunt was probably not someone who had originally been in the palace. In any case, Shi Li found her very unfamiliar.
But it's normal. No matter who enters the palace again, they probably won't want the old one to stay in the palace. Shi Li got off the carriage and nodded to her aunt, "Thank you, aunt."
She must hand the tiger talisman to Qi Yong as soon as possible today and then leave such a depressing place.
When I was a eunuch, I had no way to leave. Now that I have the conditions, I must leave! Carry the train and leave!
Shi Li followed her aunt around the corridors of the palace while she was lost in thought. The further she went, the fewer palace servants she met along the way. It didn't look like a place for a banquet at all.
Finally, the aunt stopped directly at the door of the cold palace and turned back to look at Shi Li with compassion.
"My Lady, I have received great kindness from the Princess. When the Princess survived a great disaster, I secretly hid her here. Please go in and see her for the last time!"
Shi Li: ???
Does she have a very stupid and gullible face?
"What if I say I don't believe a word you say?"
Shi Li stood in the distance, looking at her aunt who was trying hard to act out her grief with an indifferent expression.
The aunt was well prepared. She took out a delicate hairpin from her sleeve and waved it in front of Shi Li's eyes. "Don't you recognize the princess's personal belongings?"
Shi Li's gaze was fixed on the buyao.
This was indeed Princess Guangyong’s favorite hairpin.
