Chapter 1159 Dark Cinderella
Shi Li lay in the towel nest, bored.
To be honest, this kind of life is really suitable for her, a lazy person.
She didn't have to worry about anything, didn't have to worry about being put into iron dance shoes again, and didn't have to worry about food and drink. It seemed like Lorraine really just wanted to raise her like a sparrow, just patting her head or pinching her wings every day.
These are all tolerable, especially since he is not in the room for half a day and no one knows what he does when he goes out.
The old and luxurious clock in the corner made a regular sound, echoing dully in the room like waves of hypnotic notes.
Shi Li couldn't help yawning and felt like she was about to shut her eyelids. Just before she fell asleep, the bedroom door was quietly pushed open and Annie tiptoed in.
After seeing who was coming, Shi Li immediately perked up.
Lorraine, that bastard, never changed her back into human form after he saw the king in the middle of the night, which resulted in her never finding a chance to tell her about Anne.
Now, they are here again.
This time, Anne had a clear goal. She walked into the bedroom, looked around, and went straight to the teapot on the table. She opened the lid of the teapot, took out a packet of white powder from her sleeve, poured it into the teapot stealthily, and then shook it carefully to make it evenly mixed.
After doing the bad thing, Annie looked around cautiously again, and Shi Li was so scared that she didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, there were thick curtains around the bed and it was lying in the towel nest, so Annie couldn't find it at all.
Holding her breath and waiting for the person to slip out of the bedroom, Shi Li immediately flapped her wings and flew to the table, circling around the teapot.
Unfortunately, the little sparrow was too weak to open the lid of the teapot, and it was impossible to tell what kind of medicine Annie had put in it.
But it's not a good medicine after all.
Shi Li didn't dare to leave and stayed beside the teapot.
The table top was made of pure transparent glass, and her feet were a little cold after standing for a long time. She could only walk back and forth, which made her two slender legs very tired.
I don’t know how long it took, Shi Li felt that her legs were about to break from exhaustion, and the damn Lorraine finally pushed the door open and walked in, going straight to the table.
Shi Li watched him take the teapot and pour a cup of tea, which immediately made a sharp popping sound.
"Why are you here?"
Lorraine lowered his head, stretched out a finger and poked her forehead lightly. It was not known whether he didn't get to drink water outside or what, but his other hand had already brought the teacup to his lips.
"That￥%! It's poisonous!"
Shi Li was so anxious that she couldn't speak. She could only chirp. She flew up helplessly and landed on Lorraine's hand holding the teacup. Without thinking, she pecked the back of his hand several times.
Hard work pays off, and Luo Lin finally put down the teacup. He looked at the back of his hand that was pecked red, and then looked at the sparrows that were flying and jumping around the teacup, and his relaxed brows became a little solemn.
He shook out the magic wand from his sleeve and tapped it lightly at Shi Li, transforming her from a sparrow back into a human.
Shi Li flew in the air, turned back into a human and fell onto the carpet. Not caring about hurting himself, he picked up the teacup and teapot and took a big step back.
"Annie drugged the teapot. She was lurking beside you as a maid and she has already sneaked in twice!"
Shi Li was afraid of being turned back into a sparrow again, so she spoke all the key information in one breath without even taking a breath.
After he finished speaking, he began to breathe heavily and his cheeks turned red.
Lorraine said nothing and just looked at her in silence.
“You won’t not believe me, will you?” Shi Li widened her eyes and was ready to get angry.
Lorraine smiled, his brows relaxed, as if this was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
"Put the teapot down. I trust you."
He took the teapot and teacup from Shi Li and calmly placed them back on the glass table. He caught a glimpse of Shi Li's slightly red feet and knew what was going on.
The magic wand drew a bright trail in the air, and instantly the flames ignited the fireplace, making the room warm.
Shi Li rubbed her shoulders subconsciously. She was freezing cold from patrolling back and forth on the glass table just now. Now she missed the soft towel nest very much.
After she came to her senses, she told him about the two times Annie had sneaked in.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.
"Your Highness Lorraine, may I come in?" The gentle female voice belonged to Anne.
Are you here to inspect the results of the poisoning?
Shi Li stared at Lorraine with wide eyes, and saw that he was standing there motionless, as if he was not prepared to make any arrangements for her. She gritted her teeth, climbed directly onto the bed, and got into the soft velvet quilt.
There were bed curtains surrounding the bed, and if you didn't look carefully, you would never notice that there was a person hiding in the prince's bed.
Lorraine didn't expect her to move so quickly. His eyes followed her as she hid under the quilt. Just as he wanted to speak, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Anne knocked on the door but got no response, probably thinking he had fainted, so she opened the door herself.
She walked in and saw Lorraine standing calmly at the table, and her eyes widened instantly.
