Chapter 2931 I think I've seen you somewhere
About a quarter of an hour later, Miss Tang, who had washed and dressed herself, came back to the prince.
After being refreshed, she still held the small bag tightly, probably containing something very important.
"Shi Li, pour tea for Miss Tang." The prince was still very courteous to Miss Tang. When he saw her, he immediately gave her a seat and then instructed Shi Li to pour tea.
Miss Tang didn't say anything either, she just sat quietly on the chair.
The prince was very patient. He slowly picked up the teacup and took sip after sip.
Finally, the girl raised her head, frowned at the prince, and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, are you really willing to seek justice for me?"
"I brought you back to do something." The prince put down his teacup and looked at her sternly.
Miss Tang seemed to be still a little conflicted, frowning and pursing her lips. After a long stalemate, she finally slowly loosened her hands and handed the bag in her arms to Shi Li.
Not knowing what was going on, Shi Li subconsciously took the bundle and turned to open it. But before she reached out, she heard the prince cough lightly.
The reason she had been able to live safely in this unfortunate palace for so long was her caution and quick understanding. She immediately withdrew her hand and handed the bundle to the prince with a stern face.
The small bundle didn't weigh much and landed lightly in front of the prince. The prince glanced at it lightly and didn't seem to care too much. He just said to Miss Tang, "Leave this matter to me. Miss Tang, you can rest assured."
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness." Miss Tang still pursed her lips, with a conflicted look on her face, staring at the bundle, but finally looked away.
The prince tapped the bundle lightly with his fingers, still showing no intention of opening it. Instead, he instructed Shi Li, "Zi Xiao, take Miss Tang downstairs to rest."
"Yes, Miss Tang, please come in." Shi Li hurriedly extended her hand and led the way for Miss Tang. Miss Tang did not say anything else. She glanced at the prince one last time and followed Shi Li out of the study.
Almost as soon as the two of them walked out, the prince placed his hand on the bundle, lightly tapped it with his fingertips, seemed to hesitate, but finally chose to open it.
The thing inside made him squint his eyes slightly.
Shi Li resettled Miss Tang and instructed two palace maids to take good care of her. She turned around and went back to the study, where she saw a brazier in front of the prince. It seemed that something had just been burned in it, with some ashes left.
Subconsciously looking around, Shi Li didn't find the bag that Miss Tang had just treasured. She didn't know if the prince had put it away, or...
This was not her business, so she just pretended not to know.
The prince glanced at her, then lowered his head to look at the brazier, and then said, "Have someone keep an eye on Miss Tang and don't neglect her. Also... Miss Tang is an honored guest. If she enters or leaves the East Palace, please have someone watch her closely."
The previous words were quite ordinary, but when the last sentence came out, Shi Li couldn't help but glance at the prince, then immediately lowered her head, "Your servant understands."
She felt that the prince's attitude towards Miss Tang seemed different from what she expected.
"By the way, let's go to the palace and pick up Xiao Shi." After the prince finished dealing with his affairs, he finally remembered that he had a younger brother who was crying for food.
Shi Li continued to nod, thinking that the amount of exercise she had gotten today between the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace was definitely enough.
When she entered the palace again, Shi Li walked to the Tenth Prince and saw him fiddling with the gadget given to him by the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness the Tenth Prince." Shi Li bowed first, then said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has returned. Please come over."
"Brother is back!" The tenth prince immediately raised his head in surprise, then gently put the little thing in his hand back into the box and jumped down from the couch lightly.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm going to thank my brother!"
But things were not that easy. If the Tenth Prince wanted to go to the Eastern Palace, he had to get the emperor's consent, so Shi Li accompanied him to meet the emperor again.
Hearing that the Tenth Prince was going to the Eastern Palace, the Emperor first glanced at Shi Li, then patted the Tenth Prince on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, come back early, and don't make too much noise in the Eastern Palace."
"Yes, I know everything. Don't worry, father!" The tenth prince agreed very happily.
There is no problem now. The emperor looked at Shi Li again.
Shi Li immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely look after His Majesty the Tenth Prince."
"Then go ahead."
