Chapter 422 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
A dimly lit place.
The young man had broad shoulders and long legs. The black cloak on his shoulders fluttered in the wind as he walked. He had a stern face, long eyebrows and bright eyes, and a solemn look that was extremely inconsistent with his age.
He was as steady as a city wall guarding the frontier, and also like a hidden sword that could cut through the sky at any time.
Almost everyone around him held their breath immediately, not daring to breathe in front of him.
Only Shi Li didn't notice anything unusual and looked at him with curiosity.
His identity was identified from the long sword worn at his waist.
He is the protagonist of the welcoming banquet hosted by the young emperor Zhou Chenghao today - the great general Qi Changchuan.
Only he could walk around the palace freely with a sword.
In the past, the original owner had only heard of his many great achievements on the battlefield, and this was the first time he saw him in person. He didn't expect him to be so handsome.
Shi Li was a little infatuated with him for a while, but then she remembered her identity and nodded slightly at him.
"I am here to see the Queen Mother."
Qi Changchuan stood not too close to her, just bowed to her, then walked straight past her towards the woman who had just spoken wildly.
Shi Li: ...
I may be a mascot, but it's not nice for you to ignore me like this, right?
She raised her hand to support her poor neck, but thinking that this action might not be very solemn, she put her hand down and turned her head very slowly to look over there.
In front of Qi Changchuan stood two sword-wielding guards with a similar aura to him. One on the left and one on the right pressed a plainly dressed girl to the ground, showing no mercy at all.
Too brutal.
Shi Li shrank her neck.
"Take him away and find out who brought him into the palace. He was disrespectful to the Queen Mother and made noise in front of the Emperor. He will be punished for multiple crimes."
Qi Changchuan turned his back to Shi Li and conveyed his meaning to the two guards without hesitation.
There was no intention of asking about Shi Li at all.
This is too disrespectful of oneself.
Qi Changchuan's move appears to be to protect the Queen Mother, but does this seem more like an attempt to establish his own authority?
Shi Li twitched the corners of his mouth, but dared not say anything.
Qi Changchuan controls hundreds of thousands of troops, and Zhou Chenghao has to be cautious in front of him. What can she do?
I can only be humble and act stupid.
After Qi Changchuan dealt with the people, he turned around and saw her still standing there, and immediately frowned.
"Your Majesty, do you have something to tell me?"
"No, no, not at all." Shi Li quickly denied it, turned around and walked towards the palace.
I moved a little too hastily and my neck hurts.
Who would have thought that even though she behaved so humbly, the general, who was eager to establish his authority, still refused to let her go.
"Although the national mourning has passed, the Queen Mother's status should still be simple and low-key."
Qi Changchuan's voice was like a cold knife, scraping across his neck.
Shi Li paused, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Did he think she wanted to arm herself like a jewelry stand?
Isn't it just to show indirectly how much the emperor values him!
As a result, he actually thought she was extravagant, which was really unfair!
"The general is absolutely right. I...I will remember it." No matter how aggrieved he felt, Shi Li still had to answer calmly.
She didn't know if it was her illusion or something else, but when she stood a little further away from Qi Changchuan, she actually saw a hint of surprise flash across his face.
It must have been dazzling.
Shi Li blinked her eyes, decided not to delay here any longer, and hurried into Yundie Palace.
It is worth mentioning that the little emperor came in right after she sat down.
Shi Li stared at the little emperor as he walked up to the dragon throne next to him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Judging from the time he appeared and the speed at which he walked, it was impossible that he did not see what happened outside the palace just now.
So, this little emperor didn't even dare to show his face when he saw the empress dowager being bullied?
do you mean this?
Zhou Chenghao felt the burning gaze from the side, turned around and gave Shi Li a guilty smile, which further confirmed her previous guess.
He must have seen what Qi Changchuan did just now!
What was even more infuriating was that Zhou Chenghao lowered his voice and said to her, "I also think that the Queen Mother should be more simple and low-key. Why not find an excuse to change clothes and change into a new outfit?"
