Chapter 1142 Dark Cinderella
No matter how hard you try, a human heartbeat and a sparrow's heartbeat cannot be the same.
Shi Li was struggling all the way in the carriage, but after coming back, she decided to give it a try.
Right now, Celine is the best candidate.
After saying that, Shi Li put her head directly on Serin's chest without saying anything, not giving her a chance to react.
After a few brief seconds, Shi Li retracted his head, then nodded to Serin seriously.
"okay, thank you."
Sure enough, the heartbeat was different.
So why does Lorraine's heartbeat match that of a sparrow?
Thinking back to the person standing on the hazel tree that he saw late at night, Shi Li felt unwell. With a heavy heart, he walked around Celine and headed for his room.
It was not until she walked a few meters away that Serin, whose chest was attacked, reacted and stood there letting out an earth-shattering scream.
"Mom!!! Lili is crazy!!!"
Shi Li just stopped and didn't look back. Anyway, her mother was used to the two sisters' nonsense every day and would not take Serin's words seriously.
Besides, she didn't do anything, she just listened to the heartbeat.
She walked to the door of her room without any psychological burden and held the door handle with one hand, but Shi Li's psychological pressure suddenly rose.
At this time, the little sparrow was already lying beside her pillow, drowsy, but was the little sparrow really a little sparrow?
After hesitating for a long time, Shi Li finally slowly turned the door handle.
The warm orange light from the fireplace made the room dim and cozy.
Shi Li stood at the door and didn't go in immediately. She looked at the bed out of habit.
The soft velvet quilt was neatly folded, and the towel nest beside the pillow was exactly the same as when she left, without any change.
but--
Shi Li suddenly opened her eyes wide.
The towel nest is empty, the little sparrow is gone!
"Your Highness, the King wants you to see him in his study."
As soon as the ball ended, the king's attendants found Lorraine. Looking at the sickly prince, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Everyone in the palace knew that the eldest prince might not live long, and that the entire country would belong to the queen and Prince Arthur in the future. The eldest prince was really pitiful.
At first glance, the sympathy in the servant's eyes was a little too obvious. Lorraine smiled palely, replied weakly, and then staggered towards the king's study.
When he walked in, the king was standing by the window holding a glass of red wine. He had just experienced a love affair and exuded a sense of satisfaction. Lorraine stopped before he could get too close, and coughed twice with his hands covering his lips.
The smell in the study is really foul.
The king was completely unaware of this and looked at Lorraine with a fatherly look on his face. "How was it? Did you find the most beautiful woman at the ball?"
He regarded the words of the "fairy" as a straw to save Lorraine, but he didn't know that the fairy was Lorraine in disguise. After all, the fairy predicted that he would not live past the age of 20, and the queen would not stare at him all day long.
Lorraine looked down at the floor, a cute face with cream on the corners of her mouth flashed before her eyes, and her voice unconsciously carried a hint of laughter.
"found it."
"That's good! That's good!" The king immediately walked up excitedly and wanted to pat Lorraine on the shoulder.
He quickly coughed twice, and used his weak and pale face to stop the king from approaching.
The king withdrew his hand and frowned, "The ball will last for two days. When it's over, I will arrange for you to get married immediately. By then, you will be completely healed."
Lorraine nodded patiently and finally dealt with the king. When he walked out of the study, he saw the queen hurriedly walking towards him from the other side of the corridor, with a layer of frost on her face.
If I'm not mistaken, the feather fan she was holding tightly in her hand seemed to belong to Lady Anna.
Has he finally discovered something is wrong and is here to call for punishment?
Lorraine smiled obscurely, turned around and left from the other side.
