Chapter 27 Murder
After coming out of the latrine, Shen Li looked at the increasingly unfamiliar scenery on the road and the gradually thinning crowd, and finally determined: she was lost!
Shen Li is a complete road idiot in modern times. He never distinguishes between east, west, north and south. He hasn't tried it since he came to ancient times. After all, he rarely goes out, and every time he is accompanied by someone.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Shen Li had no idea where she was.
Relying on her weak memory, she tried to go back, but unfortunately things backfired, she seemed to... go further and further away.
Just now I could see a few people sporadically, but now there is none.
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Li's forehead, it's dark and windy this month, why is there such a desolate place in the palace.
Shen Li, who gave up struggling, decided to ask someone for directions.
Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and Shen Li heard someone talking directly in front of a peach grove.
Just when she tiptoed and struggled with her words, and was about to go to ask for help, she suddenly heard the other party's conversation.
"I know that your injured leg will definitely be difficult, but the imperial doctor also said that your disease is not incurable, so why bother?"
Si Yan's mouth twitched when he heard his resentful tone.
"The minister is not doing well, why does Your Majesty say that?"
Zou Yuan thought he was being stubborn, and asked.
"Then I announced you to enter the palace again and again, but you didn't come?"
Si Yan: …
"I still have business to do."
The two of them were still talking, leaving Shenli hiding in the dark and messy. Subconsciously, she felt that the voice inside was a bit familiar, but she didn't bother to explore it at this time.
Now her mind is full of question marks.
No way, she just went to the toilet, and unexpectedly met the emperor? What kind of fate is this.
Shen Li felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. If someone found out, would she be punished on the spot? After thinking about it for two seconds, she decided to take the best policy.
Si Yan's ears moved, his eyes looked towards the woods not far away, and his expression suddenly became serious.
His palms tightened, and he glanced back at Zou Yuan who was still chattering, ready to end the topic.
"It's time for Your Majesty to go to the Hall of Preservation."
When Zou Yuan heard this, he really didn't bother Si Yan anymore.
…
Shen Li ran away from the "scene of the incident" as if fleeing for her life. She had never hated her "road idiot" attribute so much, and it almost killed her.
Seeing that she had gone far away, Shen Li raised her hand and stroked her chest. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard a gust of wind in her ears.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed in front of him.
Feeling the sudden suffocation, she struggled subconsciously.
"Let go of me...uh...cough cough..."
Finally, when Shen Li was able to breathe fresh air again, a surprised voice sounded in his ear.
"It's you?"
Shen Li broke away from her teary eyes, and after seeing the person who asked the question clearly, the fragments in her mind kept overlapping with the figure in front of her?
He is the general of the Si family who has disabled legs and is about to be married?
Shen Li opened her mouth.
"You are the Secretary..."
It's ridiculous to say that, Shen Li has met Si Yan more than once, yet he doesn't even know his name.
Si Yan stared at her with downcast eyes, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, he spoke in a cold voice.
"Si Yan."
Si Yan, Shen Li recited it silently in her heart, she subconsciously turned her gaze to Si Yan's legs, seeing that he was standing properly, a thought arose in her heart.
"Sure enough, the rumors are not credible. They all say that your legs are disabled."
Shen Li wanted to say this to brighten the atmosphere, but just as he finished speaking, he heard Si Yan say it.
"The rumors are correct, I am now General Si with disabled legs."
Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, her expression was a little dull, she caught a glimpse of Si Yan's wheelchair behind her out of the corner of her eye, and then realized what she had done.
He is pretending!
And I actually know this secret.
It's as if you took off the kidnapper's hood, so there is still a way to survive?
Shen Li took a step back, her pupils trembling.
"You don't want to kill someone to silence you, do you?"
Si Yan's handsome face was expressionless, and he talked with relish.
"That's what I planned just now."
Shen Li swallowed and spit.
"what about now?"
