Chapter 1235: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
The air behind me was slightly cool, like bitter wood in the snow.
Shi Li's mind was focused on the bow and arrow just now, but now she suddenly realized that she and Yuan Chizhi were too intimate.
There was no part of my body that didn't feel uncomfortable.
But she couldn't explain it. As a young emperor, it was normal for her to have her subjects teach her archery step by step. But she didn't dare show any abnormality and could only shoot arrows randomly.
The result is predictable, it missed the target and fell to the ground.
Shi Li thought Yuan Chizhi would lecture him or teach him again, so he prepared himself silently. However, Yuan Chizhi instantly let go of his hand and took a few steps back.
"That's all for today. I'll take my leave."
Yuan Chizhi retreated in such a hurry that Shi Li was unable to react. She blinked in confusion as she watched his hurriedly leaving back.
"Why is he leaving in such a hurry?"
[Maybe you are busy recently? ]
[The Enke exam will start again next month, I guess I will be busy with a lot of things~]
[I feel like there’s something wrong with Yuan Chizhi. He seems to be running away…]
Yuan Chizhi was walking hurriedly on his way out of the palace, with a hint of melancholy unconsciously revealed between his brows. Even the palace servants passing by were frightened and quietly retreated to the sides.
His mind was now filled with the image of Shi Li teaching him how to shoot arrows.
Something is wrong!
Yuan Chizhi recalled every detail from the first time he met Shi Li, his brows slightly furrowed, and stormy waves gradually surged in his heart.
Everyone, including him, believed the eunuch's words and never doubted Shi Li's identity.
At the beginning, the eunuch said that he was a prince and that he had always been kept in the cracks of the wall, so everyone thought it was natural that he was thin.
Occasionally, Yuan Chizhi felt that the new emperor was too timid, but he also thought it was normal.
But just now when he was standing behind Shi Li at a close distance, a horrifying thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
The new emperor's figure is more like a young girl than a skinny boy!
Yuan Chizhi grew up in the military camp and had almost no contact with any women, but the differences between men and women can still be measured.
Once this thought came to mind, everything seemed to make more sense.
Including the eunuch who died by hitting his head against a pillar, everyone thought he was loyal to the late emperor, but he might also be feeling guilty and fearful, after all, he had caused such a huge disaster.
The more Yuan Chizhi thought about it, the faster he walked. When he was almost at the palace gate, he saw Xie Qingyun standing outside the gate.
She laughed from a distance, "Master Yuan, my grandfather asked me to come and talk to you."
Just as Mr. Xie understood Yuan Chizhi, Yuan Chizhi also had some understanding of his mentor. Seeing Xie Qingyun at this time, he knew exactly what Mr. Xie was thinking.
But he pretended to know nothing, nodded calmly, and followed Xie Qingyun to the Xie Mansion.
In front of Mr. Xie, he didn't dare reveal the slightest flaw, but his doubts about Shi Li's identity had become the top priority in his mind.
Shi Li was bathing in the hot spring at this time, and had no idea that her identity had almost been guessed by Yuan Chizhi.
The warm spring water fell on her body, making her feel so comfortable that she wanted to sigh.
Only at this time would she feel gratified for her noble status.
After all, in this era, it is not easy to take a comfortable bath.
The huge hot spring was left to her alone. She arranged for the palace maids around her to stay outside, so no one dared to come in casually. She also didn't have to worry about exposing her female body. Shi Li raised her head and closed her eyes comfortably.
Even if there are twelve hours in a day, I have to worry about my identity for eleven hours. There is always one or two incense sticks of time when I don't want to think about anything.
But the hurried voices of the palace servants outside made Shi Li unable to feel at ease even for a moment.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Xie Mansion that Master Xie is critically ill!"
Shi Li suddenly opened her eyes.
