Chapter 425 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
Shi Li never thought that she must be such a special person.
When she was a eunuch, she did not find any other time-traveling hosts.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t people here who have traveled from other worlds like her.
Thinking back to the girl's rash voice and actions just now, Shi Li felt that she was more and more suspicious.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why she would say such inappropriate words in such an occasion.
The more Shi Li thought about it, the more certain she became of her guess. She was so nervous that her heart started beating faster and she subconsciously reached out to take the wine glass on the table and take a sip of wine to calm herself.
However, what he got was a crystal jade cup.
The jade cup was filled with light red date soup, sprinkled with shredded ginger and wolfberries, giving off a hint of sweetness.
Shi Li: ...
Where's her wine?
How come it was changed into date soup right under her nose?
Seeing that she was holding the jade cup in a daze, the maid next to her leaned over and whispered, "Your Highness, please don't drink too much. Drink more jujube soup."
Shi Li pursed her lips, feeling a little strange.
She was not a person who liked drinking much, but after all the trouble she had just gone through, she felt cold all the time. Drinking some hot jujube soup was indeed more comfortable than drinking alcohol.
So he stopped thinking about what was wrong and took a small sip from the silver spoon.
The hot and cozy breath instantly flows through the body, making the whole body comfortable.
Shi Li's brows relaxed, a hint of satisfaction revealed on her face.
This bowl of date soup came at the right time. The palace maid beside her was really considerate. It turned out that I was right to support her in front of Qi Changchuan just now.
If it happens again... again...
Well, if Shi Li was given another chance, she would definitely not dare to support the palace maid in front of Qi Changchuan. She didn't know what happened to her just now. She was so bold.
Thinking of this, Shi Li felt that the bowl of date soup in front of her was actually nothing. After all, she was risking her life to support the palace maid.
On the other hand, Zhou Chenghao had already reprimanded the innocent Censor Sun and fined him several months' salary.
Such a punishment that is neither too light nor too severe is reasonable.
After all, compared with Censor Sun, Shi Li is even more useless in Zhou Chenghao's heart, and she is not his biological mother.
It is impossible to support someone, it is enough to just save face.
When everyone thought that the matter was coming to an end, the old tutor who arrived late stood out from the crowd.
"General Qi handled this matter improperly."
The old tutor frowned and looked at Qi Changchuan with a straightforward expression.
Things have developed to this point and it is no longer something that Shi Li, the person involved, can control.
She held the date soup and swallowed it in small sips while watching the show carefully.
When he heard the Grand Tutor accusing Qi Changchuan of meddling in other people's affairs, he silently applauded him in his heart.
Finally someone discovered Qi Changchuan’s problem and dared to point it out. The Grand Tutor is so awesome!
However, the plot's subsequent direction deviated a bit.
Qi Changchuan's punishment of a disrespectful minister in front of the Queen Mother was indeed suspected of presumptuous behavior, but what did you mean by changing the subject and asking him to hand over his military power, Grand Tutor?
Shi Li's heart tightened, and she didn't eat the date soup that was brought to her mouth. She looked at Qi Changchuan nervously.
I was afraid that he would be offended too much by the tutor and then turn around and vent his anger on others.
She doesn't want to be that "bystander" at all.
Unexpectedly, Qi Changchuan ignored the tutor and turned around to Zhou Chenghao to confess his guilt.
"I just saw... the Queen Mother was offended, and I was anxious for the moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
His tone was cold and slow, and no one noticed the slight pause in his words.
Zhou Chenghao glanced at the tutor with a stern face.
Does he dare to punish Qi Changchuan?
Sir, are you kidding me?
The power grab cannot be so obvious. The blame has suddenly fallen on my head. Have you discussed this with me?
Zhou Chenghao also had a lot of complaints in his heart, but he couldn't say them out loud.
In the end, he could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and tried to smooth things over in a hypocritical manner.
"General Qi, you are too serious. This is a matter of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. I should only reward him, how can I punish him?"
After saying that, he looked at Censor Sun, who was relieved that the matter was over.
Zhou Chenghao was also very aggrieved and took his anger out on the "culprit".
"Censor Sun allowed his daughter to overstep her bounds, and he will be demoted one rank."
Shi Li, who witnessed the whole process, silently swallowed the date soup in his mouth and sighed silently.
She has finally seen what "thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord" means, it's outrageous!
As for the detained Miss Sun, she'd better stay away from her. She dared to make loud noises in front of the Queen Mother. She must be not very smart.
If she knew that I was not the original one either, she might do something strange, and then she would be in trouble if I implicated her.
It’s better for everyone to be well.
Shi Li understands the principle of keeping a low profile very well, and must act deaf and dumb when necessary.
For example now——
She was very aware of being a mascot, and no matter what others said, she would just eat her own date soup in a dignified manner.
I turn a deaf ear to what's happening around me and live a very Buddhist way.
