Chapter 1252: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
The night is already deep.
Shi Li lay on the dragon bed with curtains drawn around it, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
The students who spoke freely in the Golden Palace during the day made her feel that Jingchao had a promising future. But seeing those men also reminded her of the situation of women in this era.
Not to mention others, she herself is the best example.
Once your gender identity is exposed, it becomes a question whether you can survive.
How can it be so unfair?
The same goes for Xie Qingyun, who was raised by Old Man Xie and whose talent and learning were not inferior to any man. Her best destiny was to become the queen, in charge of a harem, and handle the trivial matters of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards.
The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt, just as sad as when I heard Lu Sheng say those words during the day.
[Host, go to sleep and stop thinking about those things~]
[Yes, you should know your identity and don’t get yourself involved! ]
[Sleep, anchor, there are all kinds of things in dreams~]
The comments kept trying to persuade her, but they couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart, and finally she fell asleep in a daze.
When she regained consciousness, she heard Xie Qingyun calling her to get up through the curtain.
She almost forgot that she would lead the new scholars to the royal hunting ground for hunting today.
The rules were set by the founding emperor of the Jing Dynasty, which required that students not neglect civil skills over military skills. In addition to writing essays, students were required to at least be proficient in riding and shooting.
So there was this customary hunting activity.
Shi Li was taught horseback archery by Yuan Chizhi himself, and was not afraid of this activity. She just got up a little late and felt that she had not slept well, and her whole body felt heavy.
He was still in a daze until he walked out of the palace. Seeing Xie Qingyun standing next to him, he suddenly asked her curiously, "Have you learned horseback archery?"
"I learned it when I was young, and I know a little bit." Xie Qingyun answered with his head down.
But when she said this, Shi Li knew that she must be being modest. Suddenly, he changed his mind and said to her, "Then come with me to hunt today."
Xie Qingyun looked up at her in surprise, "Your Majesty..."
"It's just hunting, no problem." Shi Li smiled at her, having made up his mind.
This hunting activity is more like an event to entertain people, so only small animals such as spotted deer and rabbits will be released in the forest. There will not be any ferocious wild beasts, and no one needs to worry about danger.
Shi Li didn't even have to go out in person. He just had to say a few words to encourage others while riding on his horse, and then he could sit comfortably on the mat under the awning, waiting for others to return from hunting.
When climbing onto the horse, Shi Li may have moved too roughly and stretched her muscles and bones. She felt a dull pain starting from her waist and gradually spreading downwards.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he gritted his teeth and persisted, finished his congratulations, and watched the people participating in the hunt disperse before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The pain did not ease when I got off the horse, but became even worse.
Shi Li barely stood still, and suddenly realized that the pain was not from stretching the bones, but...
As soon as the thought came to her mind, the severe pain became even more severe. Her eyes went dark, she lost consciousness, and fell backwards uncontrollably.
The palace servants around did not notice anything unusual, but Shi Li was firmly supported by Yuan Chizhi.
In fact, he should also go hunting. For people who have been on the battlefield, participating in hunting is no different from relaxing their muscles.
But when Shi Li started to speak just now, he keenly sensed that something was wrong. When everyone else rushed into the forest, he stopped and stood not far from Shi Li.
Seeing that Shi Li's movement when getting off the horse was not right, he walked straight forward and supported her evenly.
Looking down at Shi Li's pale face and closed eyes, Yuan Chizhi remembered that he had approached her in the same way when he first taught her archery.
My mind suddenly became a little wandering.
There were many people around, and this was not the palace's martial arts arena. Yuan Chizhi directly carried Shi Li on his back and coldly told the frightened palace servants around him, "Your Majesty is ill, go back to the palace to summon the imperial physician first."
This was just a cover-up statement. Yuan Chizhi was well versed in medicine. He knew what was wrong with Shi Li after just a quick feel of her pulse. He paused for a moment.
I felt relieved, but also a little sad that was not easily noticed by my owner.
The strong smell of warm ginger entered Shi Li's nose, and she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
He blinked his eyes at the familiar curtain above his head, and suddenly realized what happened before he fainted. He sat up and looked around, his heart beating like a drum.
It’s really killing me!
The original owner had lived in the cracks of the wall since she was a child and looked different from ordinary people. She had traveled through time for two years and had never had a menstrual period. She had completely forgotten about this matter.
The pain I felt just now was not the pain of stretching bones, it was clearly dysmenorrhea!
My body is really not in good condition. The menstrual cramps are so painful that I faint.
But that was not the problem. The biggest question now was how did she get back to the palace? Was her identity exposed?
Thinking of this, Shi Li held his breath and reached out to open the curtain.
Then, he opened his eyes wide.
