Chapter 1544: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
The family of three happily finished their lunch in the Queen's palace, and Shi Li followed the Emperor to the study.
After entering the study, the first thing that catches your eye is a small ink-colored handprint hanging on the wall. It looks tiny, like a newborn baby, and next to it is the emperor's familiar inscription.
——Happy to receive a pearl.
This was copied with ink by the emperor himself when the original owner was one month old and still the crown prince. It had been hanging in the study when she was in the East Palace. Unexpectedly, it was moved here now.
Shi Li was a little dazed and moved.
The emperor followed her gaze and couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and touched her forehead. "Your mother and I have said that no matter how many children you have in the future, you will always be different."
Shi Li didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
The emperor did not continue this topic, but took out a token that he had prepared for her long ago and handed it to her personally.
"This is what your father can give you, but in the future you will have to train your own people." The emperor's token can control a group of secret guards, but this group of secret guards is far from enough.
Shi Li held the token, calmed herself down, raised her head and looked at the emperor with burning eyes.
"Don't worry, Father. I won't let you down."
She did what she said. From the moment she received this token, she was no longer the weak hostage who was ignored by everyone when she was stranded in Xifan, but a noble and powerful princess of the Yu Dynasty.
The secret guards given to her by the emperor took only three days to find out everything the Zeng family had done outside.
At first, the people of Zeng's family were somewhat restrained, but when Zeng went to Xifan and came back, they became more unscrupulous, acting tyrannically under the banner of the princess' wet nurse all day long, causing many things that angered everyone.
After Shi Li got the evidence, she sat in front of the dressing table and thought quietly.
The sunlight shone through the window paper and fell on the brocade clothes, sparkling with colorful light, and the jeweled pearl hairpins on the hair bun were dazzling.
Seeing Zeng coming in, she was greedy again. She walked closer with a smile and flattered hypocritically, "Your Highness is really good-looking. I wonder if you are bored staying in the palace these days? Otherwise, I will accompany you out of the palace for a walk."
Shi Li came back to her senses, turned her head and glanced at her, and agreed without thinking, "Okay, I'll take you out of the palace after I ask my mother."
Zeng was so excited that she wanted to pull her out of the palace right away, but she also knew that the princess had to tell the queen anyway, so she suppressed her emotions, smiled like a flower, and nodded.
Later, Shi Li went to the Queen's palace. Zeng had something on her mind, so she would not take the initiative to follow Shi Li every time she went to see the Queen, which made things easier for Shi Li.
When he met the Queen, Shi Li handed over all the evidence collected by the secret guards to the Queen and saluted her solemnly.
"Please help me once again, mother."
The queen looked at the evidence, and her gentle expression gradually became solemn, and finally a hint of anger. Of course, this anger was directed at the audacious Zeng, not Shi Li.
The queen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger and said, "This Zeng is really very courageous."
"Not only that, she was also eager to introduce Zeng's nephews and nieces to me." Shi Li narrated with a smile, as if she was talking about someone else's business, calmly and peacefully.
If the people of Xifan saw her, they would discover that at this moment she was so similar to their high and mighty Son of God.
"How outrageous!" The Queen almost slammed the table and stood up.
She could not tolerate the fact that her precious princess was coveted and plotted against by such a villain. Unexpectedly, when she got angry, her eyes went dark and her body swayed.
Shi Li quickly stepped forward to support her, and then asked someone to call the imperial physician immediately.
"It should be nothing. I've just been feeling weak these past few days." The Queen didn't want Shi Li to worry, so she explained to her gently.
Shi Li certainly wouldn't feel reassured, so she helped her walk to the couch and lay down, "We'll know the situation after the imperial physician has examined it."
The imperial physician did not dare to be negligent in the matter of the Queen and came very quickly.
After kneeling beside the couch and taking the Queen's pulse, the imperial physician looked a little excited. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly remembered Shi Li who was standing next to him. He glanced at her quickly, suppressed his emotions and dared not show too much excitement.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I have diagnosed a slippery pulse."
Slippery pulse, the queen is pregnant again at this time.
Even the queen herself was extremely surprised. She repeatedly confirmed with the imperial physician, then sent the physician away and looked at Shi Li, "Li Li, we will have Zeng expelled from the palace now and severely punish the Zeng family!"
She did not forget what happened to Shi Li just now because she was pregnant with another child.
Shi Li shook his head, walked over and held her hand, "I cannot bear the reputation of being harsh to the wet nurse, so I have to ask the Queen Mother to help me act out a play for this matter."
