Chapter 2010 She is not one of the four beauties
She was lightly asleep, but a sudden inexplicable palpitation woke Shi Li up completely. She looked behind the bed curtain with wide eyes.
Across the vague curtain, a figure stood there straight.
Shi Li sat up in shock, and her first reaction was to call for help, but the person outside seemed to have guessed it and covered her mouth through the bed curtain.
The bright moonlight came in from the window and shone on the man's face.
A young man with starry eyes, sharp eyebrows and sharp features.
"Shi Li, I'm Fang Li." The man introduced himself in a low voice, then let go of her hand as if he was sure she wouldn't tell anyone.
Shi Li did not say anything.
But the reason was different from what Fang Li thought. She didn't make a sound because she was not sure of Fang Li's fighting ability. He was able to escape the palace guards and break in alone. If he could kill her before the people outside came in, it would be too unfair for her.
Seeing that this man had no intention of killing him, Shi Li wanted to negotiate with him.
"I took advantage of the Moon King's absence from the palace to come look for you."
Fang Li spoke hastily, keeping an eye on the outside world. "You are the only one left in the palace. You must find a way as soon as possible to convince King Yue to send the king back. Remember?"
Shi Li: You really think highly of me. If someone doesn’t know me, they would think that the “Moon King” you mentioned is my pet, haha!
Whether it was Fang Li whom she knew from reading or the person in front of her, Shi Li disliked them both.
But pretending to obey is what she is best at. After thinking about it silently, she nodded and agreed immediately, and then asked with a worried look: "Didn't anyone find you when you barged in like this?"
She was just curious about how Fang Li did it today and how to guard against him in the future.
Fang Li frowned, remembering the bad experience of being caught by the guards just now, but still said lightly: "It's okay, I will be careful next time. If you know any news, you can go to the back garden to find a palace servant named Xiao Jiang and ask him to pass on the message."
Shi Li: Okay, I found a new accomplice.
Fang Li paused, and seeing Shi Li's slightly pale face, he suddenly seemed to have a change of heart, and said in a slower voice: "Your sister has suffered from heart disease since she was a child. I am sorry to have wronged you this time."
"Oh, I know."
Shi Li answered casually, but the moment Fang Li opened his mouth, some memories that the original owner had deliberately forgotten were finally completed in his mind.
She is not an orphan.
But she is no different from an orphan.
She and Shi Li were twin sisters born in a small mountain village. Shi Li was born a quarter of an hour earlier than her, but her health had always been poor.
Later, when they were one year old, a monk who passed by said that the two sisters were destined to have one prosper and the other wither, and advised their parents to send one of them away.
Her parents believed what they heard, and felt sorry for their eldest daughter's weak body. They also thought that the original owner might bring bad luck to them, so they threw the original owner alone into a small wooden house in the mountains, far away from them. They only sent her some food every now and then to prevent her from starving to death.
She wasn't even given a proper name.
For the first ten years, Shi Li didn't know she had a younger sister and thought she was the only daughter in the family.
Because she was extremely beautiful and weak since childhood, she was loved and cared for by everyone around her, and she could get whatever she wanted.
Later, I don’t know how I met Fang Li, and we fell in love.
Unfortunately, the Wu Kingdom was defeated by Chu Ge, and her reputation spread, so the Wu King specifically asked her to be sent to the Yue Kingdom.
Her parents felt sorry for her, so they secretly contacted Fang Li and told him about their youngest daughter. Later, the original owner was pulled out and replaced by a cat as the prince.
Now, Fang Li actually has the nerve to order her to do things.
Shi Li cursed the original owner's parents, Fang Li and Shi Li one by one in her heart, but she had to continue to be perfunctory.
"I'll play it by ear."
"Then you be careful." Fang Li casually warned, without thinking about what would happen to Shi Li if he was discovered, or if Shi Li really listened and pleaded with the Witch King, and Chu Ge got angry.
He doesn't care at all.
After finally getting rid of Fang Li, the plague god, Shi Li lay back on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
She wanted to call the people guarding outside the house in, but she didn't dare.
Once others knew that she was colluding with a Wu person like Fang Li, they would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives. It would be hard to say what would happen next.
In such a huge palace, and for a beauty like her, she couldn't find anyone she could really talk to except Chu Ge.
Fortunately, Fang Li would not come again in the short term, so she could still live a comfortable life for a few days.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Li fell asleep again in a daze.
At the same time, Chu Ge was assassinated at the border.
He was safe and sound, while all three assassins were killed on the spot.
The guard who came late to rescue the king knelt on the ground and trembled, "Your Majesty..."
The envoys who came with him were filled with righteous indignation, "Who on earth leaked the king's whereabouts! We made such a careful trip, could it be..."
He suddenly looked at Chu Ge in surprise and doubt, "Your Majesty, the assassin this time was from the Wu Kingdom."
Being stared at by the guards and envoys, Chu Ge smiled slowly.
The tip of the long sword in his hand hung on the ground, and a drop of blood rolled down.
