Chapter 1564: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Although news from Qizhou City was delivered to the palace on time every day, the emperor and empress's worries only grew as the matter involved their own daughter. They were not relieved until they saw Shi Li standing before them safe and sound.
The emperor glanced at Shi Li, then glanced behind her and couldn't help but frown, "Why did you enter the palace alone? Where is that person?"
His current mood was also very complicated. On the one hand, he hated Ming Shi for taking away his precious daughter, and on the other hand, he was curious about who this person was that made his daughter miss him so much for so many years.
Although I had seen portraits out of curiosity before, they were far inferior to the real people.
Shi Li looked at the emperor and the empress who were serious, and said helplessly: "We have to conceal our tracks anyway, we can't be too high-profile."
Mingshi came to the Yu Dynasty as a hostage this time. If people knew that he followed Shili into the palace to meet the emperor and empress so openly, it would arouse suspicion. Shili really didn't want to be so high-profile.
Mingshi is a treasure, she just wants to hide it quietly.
So after arriving in Changning, she asked Mingshi to go to a princess' palace first, which no one outside knew about.
When he parted with Mingshi, he seemed not to have expected Shili to make such arrangements. He looked at her quietly for a while, then lowered his eyes and said "Okay".
"I don't want outsiders to make random guesses. Once everything is arranged tomorrow, my father and mother will want to see you again." Shi Li couldn't help but explain to him.
As a 22-year-old princess who had never married, she no longer cared about what the outside world said about her. But Ming Shi was different.
He is the Son of God of the West, and his faith is sacred, so he should not be tainted by worldly affairs.
Shi Li was blinded by a single leaf. She did not think at this time that the moment she brought Ming Shi out of the gray-roofed palace, he had been pulled into the world of mortals and could never go back.
"Sister, sister!"
After finishing her morning classes, Shi Su saw Shi Li from a distance and ran towards her quickly, lifting up her skirt. She moved so fast that Shi Xun and other palace servants behind her could not catch up with her at all. She threw herself into Shi Li's arms.
She looked Shi Li up and down carefully, then let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay, I haven't lost weight. You've been away for so long, I've been worried about you every day."
As Shi Su was speaking, he saw the silver hairpin on Shi Li's head and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You are wearing this ugly hairpin again..."
Shi Li reached out and pinched her cheek, feeling helpless as to why she disliked her silver hairpin so much. However, she was used to it and didn't say much.
The family of five ate and talked as usual. Finally, Shi Li couldn't help but talk about what Wen Ruyu had done along the way.
After hearing this, the emperor's brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, "I never realized before that the Wen family had such great ambitions."
"It's okay to have ambition, but he doesn't care about human life. Such a person is really scary." Shi Li hugged Shi Su and sighed slightly.
Who would have thought that Shi Su, who had been playing with her sleeves, suddenly raised his head and looked at Shi Li with a pair of dark eyes, "Sister, there is nothing to worry about. Isn't it better to let the Wen family and others fight each other?"
Shi Li: ...
emperor:……
It’s really hard to believe that this little girl, who is only eight years old, can say such words casually.
Among the century-old families, the Wen family is not the only one with ambitions. Their actions have touched the bottom line of the emperor and Shi Li.
But the disciples of the aristocratic families are spread all over the world, and it is bound to be painful to eradicate them all at once. The best way is to do as Shi Su said, to find a way to stir up internal strife among the aristocratic families and let them fight each other.
After sighing, the emperor looked at Shi Li deeply again.
He is clearly still in his prime, so why does he feel old?
His vision is not as good as Shi Li's, and his decisiveness is even three points weaker than Shi Su's. This is too scary.
Leisurely time is always exceptionally short, and the five members of the family each have something to do.
But before Shi Li left, Shi Su held her tightly, reluctantly.
"I will go to the palace again tomorrow and bring someone to you." Shi Li squatted down and comforted him patiently.
Shi Su pinched the tassels hanging from her skirt, and raised his head slightly when he heard this, "Who is it?"
"You'll know tomorrow." Shi Li deliberately kept the secret.
Shi Su had a hunch that the people brought by the imperial sister would definitely be people he disliked!
She didn't know where this feeling came from, but it was very strong.
After thinking about it, Shi Su looked at Shi Xun beside him.
As a result, this useless brother secretly stuffed two snacks into his sleeves.
Shi Su: Nothing!
