Chapter 372 Princess's Skirt 18
Li Shao's face turned red, and he was angry at Gu Li's too straightforward words.
"I, I'm not, I came here just to broaden my horizons and listen to music----"
"Oh, the great grandson of the emperor needs to go to the brothels to broaden his horizons. The young masters and tutors in the palace are too ignorant and unqualified to teach you. As your aunt, I will go to your grandfather later and find a new group of teachers for Ashao-----"
Obviously, Gu Li is one year younger than Li Shao, but she acts like an aunt and criticizes Li Shao so much that he has no time to care about her problems.
"Hey, no, no, no, little aunt, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don't tell the emperor that you are my real aunt!" The little aunt almost never called herself "this palace" in front of him. It seemed that the little aunt was really angry this time.
Li Shao circled around Gu Li, wishing he could kneel down.
"Humph! Will you come to a place like this next time?"
"No, no, please forgive me this time, auntie!"
Seeing that the food was almost cooked, Gu Li snorted and sat down at the table. Li Shao immediately came forward and poured a cup of tea for Gu Li and handed it to her.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been surrounded and teased by those bastards!"
Li Shao opened his eyes wide, "Aunt, did you follow me into Fengya Tower?" Then he was accidentally spotted by some gangster from an unknown family.
It's all his fault.
If this matter was reported to the palace, he would definitely be skinned alive. Li Shao could no longer laugh dryly.
"Aunt, it's Shao's fault."
Gu Li took a sip of tea, as if to compromise. "Since you are just curious, I won't pursue you this time. Remember your identity and don't leave any evidence that could threaten the East Palace. Do you understand?"
Li Shao nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
Gu Li also said: "A gentleman should cultivate himself, correct his heart and appearance, and should not neglect it."
"Yes, Shao Ming will keep it in mind!"
Gu Li nodded, "Then I'll leave the mess outside to you to deal with!"
"Yes."
After dealing with Li Shao, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be chased by Ah Shao and asked why she appeared in Fengya Building.
Therefore, the blame has to be borne by my eldest nephew.
Gu Li also poured a cup of tea for Li Shao, and silently said to her nephew in her heart, "Nephew, you have worked hard to take the blame!"
Li Shao took the tea bowl flattered.
Caiyi, who was standing by, bit her lip in pain and couldn't help but groan in pain.
Gu Li felt extremely distressed and said harshly, "Don't let those bastards go easily."
"Don't worry, little aunt."
"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. After three more knocks, Shen Qingzhou pushed the door open from the outside. "Mr. Li, the doctor is here!"
"Come in." Gu Li was wiping Caiyi's sweat and didn't even turn her head.
After hearing the order, Shen Qingzhou opened the door and let the doctor behind him in.
After the doctor examined her, he said that Caiyi had a broken bone and needed to be straightened first and then fixed. Gu Li helped hold Caiyi down, but couldn't bear to look at her and turned her head away.
Shen Qingzhou noticed that the little princess was being soft-hearted and evasive, so he said at the right time: "People from the City Defense Department have also arrived."
Gu Li raised her eyes and looked at Li Shao, "A Shao, you go!"
Li Shao looked at the middle-aged doctor, then at Shen Qingzhou. He nodded to Shen Qingzhou and said, "Please Third Master Shen, take care of him. Call me if you need anything!"
"Yes!" Shen Qingzhou bowed in response.
After her bones were straightened, Caiyi felt a little weak and lay on the small couch, allowing the doctor to bandage her.
Shen Qingzhou stood guard at the door until the doctor treated Caiyi's injury and left the room.
"You take a rest first. Once we have dealt with the things outside, we will return home!"
"Yes, Princess." Caiyi was so dizzy that she almost fell asleep and forgot to change the address.
Gu Li didn't care, just thought the person standing at the door was deaf. After comforting Cai Yi, Gu Li returned to the table and sat down.
Realizing that he was being ignored, Shen Qingzhou still walked over and stretched out a hand in front of Gu Li.
When it was unfolded, it turned out to be her bone flute.
"Put it on the table!" Gu Li said lightly.
But Shen Qingzhou stubbornly spread his hands and waited for her to take it.
Even Li Shao didn't know the existence of this bone flute, but Shen Qingzhou knew that it belonged to her and also knew the great use of the bone flute.
Because in her previous life, she had been completely unreserved towards him.
Oh, actually there are still some reservations, such as the execution of the Shen family.
Is he testing her?
But Guli didn't care at all. She ignored his pressure and drank tea calmly. She was the only one in the world who had this bone flute, except for the emperor. Even if someone picked it up, it wouldn't matter. Once used, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
That's why she is not in a hurry.
Shen Qingzhou clenched the bone flute with his five fingers, wishing he could crush it. But he still gently placed it on the table as she wished.
"Gu Li'er, is that you?"
"How outrageous!" Gu Li sneered.
But Shen Qingzhou already had the answer.
He pushed the bone flute in front of Gu Li and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, my family has no intention of rebellion. We have worked diligently for the people of Daye over the years. Your Highness, if you are still worried, I can transfer my brother to another place and let my father retire and return home----"
"Oh?" Gu Li's smile was impeccable. She said, "Since you were able to persuade the Shen family to transfer out, why have you stayed in Beijing for so many years?"
"You---" Shen Qingzhou clenched his fists. As expected, the little princess, like him, had the memory of her previous life long ago.
But the little princess was right, he could not convince his father and brother to give up the Shen family's current position in the court.
As the prime minister, how could he give up the Shen Mansion, which was now in a state of great influence, just because of his nonsense?
Moreover, the emperor had always been very confident in Prime Minister Shen and had no suspicion of his father. This made Shen Qingzhou's persuasion to his father and brother become a ridiculous joke.
"Princess, what can I do to make you believe that the Shen family has no intention of collaborating with the enemy?" Shen Qingzhou knelt on one knee in front of Gu Li, raised his head slightly, and looked at the face in front of him that was extremely familiar and yet unfamiliar to him.
Gu Li was unmoved and didn't even glance at him.
"With you? Haha, you can't even represent the Shen family."
"I can. The princess should have had the memory of her past life eight years ago, just like me. From that day on, I always restrained my family, even the servants in the mansion. Over the years, I-----"
He remembered meeting the little princess crying in the rain at the palace eight years ago.
The princess, who was delirious with fever, kept covering her chest and crying out in pain. But later the imperial physician examined the princess and found that she had no heart disease. According to the information she had inquired about, the princess's angina pectoris lasted intermittently for half a year before it subsided.
"Stop." Gu Li didn't want to waste time listening to his story of protecting his family. "Whether the Shen family is guilty or not is not up to you to decide. We need to look at the evidence."
"Shen Fuzhi, Fuzhi is your name now. You came back for revenge, right?" Why did he kneel in front of her in such a hypocritical manner?
