Chapter 1314: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Shi Li, curled up in a wooden barrel, also heard the long sound of the funeral knell.
My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Looking down, one could see through the water that her face was as pale as snow, revealing a sense of relief at having survived the disaster.
When Su Sheng stabbed at her with the dagger just now, Shi Li really thought she was finished.
It turns out that the mermaid's perception was wrong. The prince was a bad guy and wanted to sacrifice her to the gods.
But at the last second, the guard who was standing like a wooden man raised his knife and stabbed Su Sheng in the chest.
She survived, but Su Sheng died.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy, so please wait in the side hall for a while."
The two guards didn't say much to her. They carried her and the wooden barrel to a quiet and deserted side hall and left her there alone.
It was so quiet that the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat. Apart from that, there was no other sound.
Shi Li didn't know what the prince was planning, she just felt that every second passed by very slowly. If the prince failed in his attempt and failed to defeat the old emperor, she would still not be able to escape the fate of being sacrificed to the gods.
I originally thought that the script for this time travel was pretty good. I met Wen Ren Ding at the beginning, and everything went smoothly afterwards. I didn’t expect that the biggest disaster in my life turned out to be here.
Wenren Ding...
Thinking of this name, Shi Li felt her nose getting sore again.
When had she ever suffered such injustice?
After meeting Wenren Ding, she never shed a tear and lived a life more comfortable than that of a god.
Miss him so much.
Shi Li was worried and felt aggrieved, but in the end she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, I was startled by a pair of curious and clear big eyes.
"You finally woke up, I've been watching you here for a long time!"
The owner of the eyes is a young girl who seems to have just reached the age of 15. She is very cute, especially her pair of round, bright eyes, which make people happy just by looking at them.
Shi Li didn't recognize her. He looked around and saw that he was still in the side hall and had not moved to another place, so he became curious about the girl's identity.
"who are you?"
"Oh, you don't know me."
The girl finally reacted, took a step back, and smiled awkwardly, "Did I offend you just now? I'm really sorry, I'm just too curious about mermaids. My name is Xiaoshuang, you can call me Xiaoshuang."
Shi Li didn’t know who Xiao Shuang was, but since she could appear here and talk to her so unscrupulously, her identity must be extraordinary.
Just when he was deciding whether to ask her directly about the situation outside or to ask her in a more tactful way, he saw the prince walking in from the corner of his eye.
Unlike yesterday, the prince today was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
When Shi Li saw the prince's clothes, she immediately knew what was going on and she lay on the wooden barrel and congratulated the prince flatteringly.
"Congratulations... Your Majesty."
The prince, who was the new emperor who ascended the throne today, walked in and his eyes fell on Xiaoshuang. Seeing her smiling, he also smiled with relief and responded to Shi Li casually.
"elder brother!"
When Xiaoshuang saw the new emperor, she immediately shifted her attention from Shi Li to the new emperor, ran over, hugged his arms, raised her head and looked at him with admiration.
Looking at this heartwarming scene, Shi Li vaguely remembered that she seemed to have heard someone say that several years ago, the queen had gone through great pains to give birth to a little princess with congenital defects, but the little princess did not live past her full month.
It turned out that it wasn't that the little princess did not live past a full month, but the new emperor was worried that the little princess would be framed in the palace, so he took her back to the East Palace and hid her there until now.
"The mermaid is so beautiful!" Xiao Shuang had a pure mind and pulled the new emperor to praise Shi Li.
The new emperor looked at her with nothing but doting eyes.
He finally ascended to the supreme position and became a real loner. Xiaoshuang was the only relative he had who could make him be defenseless and whom he could trust forever.
So he would give Xiaoshuang the best things in the world.
"You like her, you can play with her."
But the new emperor is a completely different person from the previous emperor, and he will not act on his own will. As he said this, he glanced at Shi Li, as if asking for her opinion.
Shi Li still had a good impression of Xiao Shuang, but it was absolutely impossible for her to stay here and play with Xiao Shuang all the time.
While he was thinking about how to start, a guard with a sword came quickly from outside and spoke to the new emperor in a low voice.
The smile on the new emperor's face suddenly disappeared.
Shi Li was close by and heard what the guard said. Suddenly, he felt like he was petrified and even his tail could not move.
Xiao Shuang was the only one present who knew nothing. She looked at the new emperor curiously, then at Shi Li.
"What's wrong with you?"
what happened?
What else can happen? Wenren Ding has gone to heaven.
Shi Li's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
I never thought that Wenren Ding could achieve such a level.
What the guard said to the new emperor was -
"I heard that they are going to rebel."
