Chapter 729: Habaek’s “Bride”
Ling Heng was not surprised at all by what Shi Li said.
He looked calmly at her serious face and clear eyes, and nodded seriously.
"it is good."
This time, it was Shi Li's turn to be surprised.
She blinked and asked in disbelief, "You agreed so quickly?"
"What else?" Ling Heng didn't seem to understand what she was surprised about. "What do you want to do? What do you need me to do?"
This feeling of being believed and supported without any reason deeply touched Shi Li.
She pursed her lips and suddenly smiled at Ling Heng, "Are you so nice? Will you support me no matter what I do?"
"Of course, but you can't do anything that is against the law."
Originally, Shi Li was just saying it coquettishly, but Ling Heng answered seriously. After he finished speaking, he laughed to himself and looked at Shi Li calmly.
"I'm sure you won't."
Shi Li looked at him blankly.
There is only one thought in my mind——
It was over, she was in love.
Later in the evening, night gradually enveloped Kyoto.
When curfew comes, everything is quiet and no one is walking around the streets except those who are on patrol.
Shi Li quietly walked out of the imperial envoy's residence and used a small spell to hide from others and sneak into the palace.
Emperor Yuanxu has been obsessed with elixirs in recent days and has not been in and out of the harem frequently, which has been convenient for Shi Li.
She found Concubine Xu's palace and sneaked in quietly.
Sure enough, the beauty who had appeared stunningly in the daytime was sitting alone under the lamp, with a gloomy and sad look on her face, without any of the complacency that a royal concubine should have.
Shi Li looked around and confirmed that there were no palace servants, then she knocked politely. She was so elusive that she was afraid of scaring the beauty.
Despite this, Xu was still stunned when she heard the knock on the door, and her face turned visibly pale.
When Shi Li thought she was scared, she suddenly stood up and opened the door with a worried look on her face.
"You are……"
After seeing that there was a strange girl standing outside the door, the expression on Xu's face turned into disappointment again. She never showed any fear from beginning to end.
Shi Li: ...
She seemed to think it was someone else coming?
[Blind guess of the prince~]
[Is it so red? ]
[This plot is also amazing~]
In fact, Shi Li also suspected that Xu thought it was the prince who knocked on the door, but it was not safe for her to stand outside the door like this.
"Can I come in and talk to you?" she asked very politely.
Xu's face was gloomy and her eyelashes drooped slightly. She didn't even ask about her identity and just let her go.
If the Queen Mother or other concubines sent an assassin to kill her, he would probably hit her with one strike.
Shi Li complained silently in her heart, but after entering the room, she didn't hesitate and got straight to the point, asking directly: "Do you want to leave the palace? Can I help you?"
Xu stopped suddenly and looked back at her.
"you can help me?"
If an ordinary person said this, Xu would not believe it. However, since Shi Li was able to appear in front of her without alerting anyone just now, it didn't seem surprising that he would say this.
"So, do you want to leave the palace?" Shi Li asked again.
However, Xu hesitated and looked blankly at the table next to her.
There was an exquisite candlestick on the table, with a red candle burning slowly, with drops of candle wax falling one by one.
"I……"
She was silent for a long time and did not give Shi Li an answer.
Perhaps, there is someone she misses here.
But not Emperor Yuanxu.
Shi Li did not urge her, and only said, "I will come back in a few days, and you can tell me when you have made up your mind."
Anyway, she did a little trick on her face, so Xu wouldn't remember what she looked like.
Then, she left through the window right in front of Xu.
After leaving Xu's palace, Shi Li did not leave immediately. Instead, he curiously found the two wizards who had made the elixir of immortality for Emperor Yuanxu, wanting to see the truth.
This time she did not go directly into the house. Instead, she imitated what she had seen in ancient TV dramas before and landed on the roof, lifted up a tile and peeked inside.
The scene inside reminded her of the plot in "The Emperor's New Clothes".
