Chapter 961 Preference and Exceptions
The moment he got on the carriage, he saw Cheng Xi sitting on it. Shi Li seemed to slip and fell off the carriage.
Cheng Xi was quick to act and grabbed her and brought her to his side to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.
After standing firm, Shi Li, still in shock, looked back at the closed car door, then slapped Cheng Xi hard on the shoulder.
"You are not calm and rational. Are you having a love affair? Let's go to the back mountain and dig up all the wild vegetables tomorrow!"
Shi Li was extremely angry, but she had to keep her voice down as much as possible, for fear of being noticed by others.
Cheng Xi didn't understand the meaning of "digging wild vegetables". He thought about it seriously and said apologetically, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. Lili wants to dig wild vegetables. Wait for me for a few more days."
Shi Li: ...It’s hard to comment.
She could understand Cheng Xi's concern about her entering the palace alone, but appearing in the carriage so rashly was really uncool and not like him at all.
[Oh, I hate people who are in love, but seeing Emperor Ji suddenly in love, why is it so sweet? ]
[I just realized that I have double standards. Women’s love brain: hateful, men’s love brain: so cute! ]
[Emperor Ji deserves to be worshipped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple... Bah, that's not right! Emperor Ji already had an Imperial Ancestral Temple~]
The carriage drove quietly in the night, and Shi Li's anger gradually subsided.
Looking at Cheng Xi, who had a serious and gentle face, she closed her eyes and leaned against him, "Before you do anything big, you have to consider me and don't leave me alone."
Cheng Xi was slightly stunned, then nodded and looked at Shi Li.
The light in the carriage was dim. The girl's face was pale, and her eyelashes gently covered her thin eyelids, like a fragile emerald butterfly.
She always understood him and could even guess exactly what he was going to do and when.
but……
Cheng Xi sighed slowly in his heart.
After that, the King Qin remained ill and never appeared outside or in the palace. The emperor's old illnesses recurred frequently, and he would often ask the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to rush over to see him.
As this happened more and more times, the minds of people in the court began to waver.
The most obvious thing is the increasing hustle and bustle outside the East Palace Gate.
Amidst all the excitement, the Crown Princess was somehow stimulated and went into premature labor. After a whole day and night of struggling, she finally gave birth to a skinny baby girl.
The prince had been waiting for a legitimate son for a long time. When he heard that the princess had given birth to a princess, he immediately left in anger.
Not long after, the palace also learned the news and sent eunuchs to congratulate and invite the prince into the palace.
This was reasonable and the prince did not think much about it and got up to enter the palace.
At the same time, Cheng Xi, dressed in military uniform, walked up to Shi Li.
Shi Li only glanced at him, then stood up and handed him her hand, saying gently and firmly: "I'll go with you."
"it is good."
Cheng Xi held her hand firmly.
Everything will be settled today.
The prince rode his horse into the palace, taking the usual route through the Suzaku Gate. Everything was fine, but when he met Prince Yu, who was also ordered to enter the palace, at the Suzaku Gate, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"What's wrong, brother Huang?"
Prince Yu, however, did not notice anything, and looked very proud. "I have not yet congratulated my brother on the birth of the little princess. From now on, she will be a prince..."
Before he finished his words, a feather arrow flew through the air.
The Suzaku Gate Incident, which left a profound mark in history books, finally began.
The original owner couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or hands and had a heart disease. Even if Shi Li was a Taekwondo master, it was of no use. He could only sit in the carriage and wait for the final result.
The sound of clashing weapons reached her ears through the carriage. Shi Li said nothing, but her tightly pursed lips and clenched white fingers revealed her nervousness.
She knew the final outcome of this historical event, but she still couldn't help but worry about Cheng Xi.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the noise outside has not stopped.
Shi Li lowered her eyes and silently took out a pill from her sleeve.
The black pill was the one Cheng Xi had just handed to her.
It has no name, and is a fake-death drug that no one in the world has ever heard of.
Cheng Xi brought her here. If he won, Shi Li would be his wife who shared honor with him; if he unfortunately lost, Shi Li could take a drug to fake her death and escape.
He has arranged everything.
I don't know how much time passed, but it gradually became quiet outside.
The door of the carriage was suddenly opened by someone from outside.
