Chapter 1537: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Shi Li was in the house, listening to the noise outside turn into silence, and thought it should be over.
But he didn't hear Xunli's voice, which made him feel very strange. After hesitating for a moment, he tiptoed out of bed and walked towards the door holding the sharp silver hairpin with a hidden mechanism.
After standing at the door, he quietly opened the door a crack. He did not feel any danger and vaguely saw some familiar figures.
Feeling a little relieved, he opened the door.
Under the bright moonlight, she suddenly met the gentle and caring gaze of the Son of God.
Although they had known each other for three years, Shi Li was still stunned at this moment.
I have only seen the Son of God in gray and red clothes, but what I see now is a young man wearing only a thin middle shirt.
Her raven-feather-like long hair was not tied up, but was casually scattered behind her back. The ends of her hair were brushed by the moonlight, slightly raising up in a strange arc.
Shi Li had never seen such a "sloppy" Son of God.
"Are you ok?"
Until his voice gurgled into my ears, like the breeze under the bamboo.
Shi Li suddenly came back to her senses, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the killer and the red-clothed servant who had been pinned down, and also saw Xun Li standing beside them with her head down.
I opened my mouth and had a lot to say, but in the end I didn't know where to start and could only force out a smile.
"Why did I disturb you so late at night?"
What a good question! It stumped even the Son of God who was born with knowledge.
He didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking seriously about the answer to the question.
After thinking for a long time, the moonlight flowed quietly across the ground, as gentle as water.
"They made too much noise."
The Son of God turned his head to look at the assassins, calm and composed as usual, but there was no pity or sympathy in his eyes, "These people came all the way from Changning to kill you."
The topic suddenly became serious, and Shi Li's attention was drawn to the assassins who lowered their heads and remained silent. It seemed that the imperial concubine was serious this time.
She was not afraid, but stepped forward and walked out of the house, facing everyone's gaze and said loudly: "I am not that easy to kill."
Then he said to the red-robed attendant who was helping him, "I am really ashamed to have disturbed you. I wonder if these people can be taken down first?"
The current situation is different from the past. When Emperor Yu Chao passes away, if the Crown Princess succeeds to the throne smoothly, then Shi Li will be the only legitimate princess, and her words will still carry weight.
The red-robed servants looked at each other, then looked at the Son of God. After all, they were outside and they still had to listen to the Son of God.
"Lock him up first and we'll deal with the rest later." The Son of God agreed.
A sword-fighting fight finally ended in the middle of the night, and everyone returned to their respective positions.
Shen Zi nodded to Shi Li and said nothing more. The red-robed attendant handed the assassin to the few remaining guards and left with Shen Zi.
Shi Li stood there, quietly watching their backs.
To be precise, I was looking at the back of the Son of God.
What she was thinking, and what the Son of God was thinking just now, cannot be said.
Just like the shadow of the moon on the ground, it is full of love but cannot be expressed in words.
Xunli waited until everyone had left before quietly walking up to Shili and said, "Princess, just now... the Son of God might have seen me take action."
She was very worried. Although Shen Zi walked up to her and didn't say anything, she still felt like he saw through her.
Shi Li came back to her senses and gave Xun Li a soothing smile, "It's okay, even if he guessed it, he wouldn't say it."
A young man like that, who felt pity for her being alone at first, would certainly ignore Xunli's existence now.
Thousands of miles away, the Changning Palace——
"I am the imperial concubine appointed by the late emperor himself! How dare you force me to commit suicide!"
The imperial concubine, who was once glamorous and arrogant, now had her hair disheveled and was looking at the group of people around her like a madman.
"Where's the prince? Let him come to see me! I want to ask him if he understands what filial piety is!"
At this point, the imperial concubine is still naive enough to want to use her status to suppress the Eastern Palace.
The leading eunuch smiled wryly and took a step forward with the poisoned wine in his hand. "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. Tonight is to give you dignity. Otherwise, given that you have persecuted the Eastern Palace over the years, this heinous crime is not something you can bear alone."
The imperial concubine was stunned, as if she was awakened by the eunuch's words. Thinking back to what she had done in the past few years relying on the late emperor's stupidity and favor, her body suddenly began to tremble violently.
She has nothing now. The previous emperor who could protect her has passed away, her son was accidentally killed by her when she was competing for favor, and her family took advantage of her to do evil...
nothing left.
The imperial concubine suddenly came to her senses, snatched the poisoned wine, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then said to the person beside him casually: "Go and report to His Majesty, the imperial concubine was too sad and followed the late emperor."
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, who was once controlled by others in every way, has finally become the new master of the imperial palace.
The lights were on that night, and the new emperor was holding the imperial seal. The candlelight reflected the clear and resolute eyes.
"It's time to bring my princess back."
