Chapter 1227: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
Shi Li woke up in a narrow crack in the wall.
It was pitch black all around, and the living space between the two walls was just enough for her to turn around with difficulty.
Shi Li didn't dare to move. He sat there and absorbed the original owner's memories. He felt unwell again.
In the harem, Concubine Yun was favored and jealous, and she killed countless concubines and royal heirs, resulting in the emperor not having any children of his own at such an old age.
The original owner's mother was a palace maid of lowly status, who became pregnant by chance after being favored by the emperor.
In order to ensure that the emperor would have legitimate bloodlines, the eunuchs around the emperor secretly hid her in the cold palace until she gave birth.
Such a big news could not be hidden from the imperial concubine who was in the palace, so she sent people to the cold palace to eliminate the root of the problem. In order to save the child, the original owner's mother jumped into a deep well with an empty swaddling cloth in her arms, deceiving the emperor and the imperial concubine with a sleight of hand.
The original owner survived, but the eunuchs were worried that the news would leak out again, so they secretly built a wall and kept the original owner in a crack in the corner of the cold palace.
Only in the middle of the night were the wall tiles moved away to allow her to come out and move around.
The original owner lived in the cracks of the wall for more than ten years, and finally waited until the imperial concubine died and the emperor was on his deathbed.
The eunuch who raised her has been shaking his head and sighing at her these days, his face full of helplessness and regret.
The original owner didn't understand what he regretted, but Shi Li knew that the eunuch felt sorry. If she was a prince, then good days would come.
However, she was a real girl, and even if she restored her identity in the future, she could only be named a princess at best.
Just as Shi Li was thinking, the bricks at the corners were suddenly moved away one by one, and dazzling light shone in.
It was definitely not late at night at this time. Shi Li held her breath nervously, not knowing what was happening outside.
As the wall bricks were removed one by one, Shi Li saw many guards standing outside.
The person in the lead had a tall figure and a cold aura. His eyes were like cold stars and looked over. He met Shi Li's gaze and smiled at her.
Although she was smiling, Shi Liqing couldn't help but shiver.
What she didn't expect was that the eunuch who had raised her since she was a child, who was standing next to her, suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, I have finally lived up to your kindness!"
After shouting, he actually bumped into the stone pillar next to him, and blood splattered three feet on the spot!
No one reacted. Yuan Chizhi, the leader, glanced sideways, frowned slightly, and turned to Shi Li and said, "I am ordered to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace."
It turned out that earlier, the emperor finally came to his senses on his deathbed and deeply regretted that he had allowed the imperial concubine to harm the harem, and to this day not a trace of his bloodline remains in the world.
The eunuch who was loyal to the emperor couldn't bear it, so he exposed Shi Li's existence and told a big lie, claiming that she was a prince.
The emperor was so happy that he suddenly had a flash of energy. In front of everyone, he passed the throne to the original owner whom he had never even met, and then he died.
Shi Li: ...
Otherwise you might as well kill me!
She really didn't expect that she would encounter such a high-end game just after traveling through time. It was going to cost her life!
If I had known this would happen, I would have let her be a eunuch for the rest of her life!
Is there anyone who can tell her what to do in the future?
[Thrilling! ]
[I just sat up and watched! ]
[Come on, anchor. Three seconds of silence for you~]
[The anchor was clearly still in the Novice Village one second ago, and the next second he was directly facing the big devil Yuan Chizhi. ]
Shi Li held her breath, looked at the smiling devil, and swallowed hard.
"Me? The prince?"
"Take His Highness to the throne in the future and he will be the new emperor."
Yuan Chizhi placed one hand on the sword at his waist and slowly knelt on one knee. He was respectful and had a bright smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which were cold and deep.
There are only two options before Shi Li:
One is to expose his identity on the spot and ascend to heaven immediately;
The second is to pretend that you know nothing, take one step at a time, and live one day at a time.
Everyone is afraid of death, and Shi Li is no exception.
She grinned with difficulty and walked out from the crack in the wall with difficulty.
In the dazzling light, I saw the cold palace filled with guards in black robes and armor, their eyes as sharp as torches.
As Yuan Chizhi waved his hand gently, they knelt on the ground in unison.
"Welcome Your Royal Highness!"
The voice was solemn and quiet, and Shi Li stood in the middle, like the moon surrounded by stars.
