Chapter 2902 I think I've seen you somewhere
Even if you are punished, you still have to do the job you deserve.
Even if my calves are swollen like two carrots, I still have to get up and do my job.
Shi Li dragged her injured leg to the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Looking at the bright sun above her head, she felt so sad and wronged that she wanted to cry.
But now she can only be strong alone, and no one will feel sorry for her.
The original owner was just a little eunuch who was responsible for standing at the palace gate. It was never her turn to do any important things. She even stood there for a whole day without a chance to enter the palace gate.
I stood respectfully at the door for an unknown amount of time until my legs became numb.
However, his ears were quick to detect a loud shout coming from inside the hall, followed by the sound of a bunch of things falling to the ground.
Such an exaggerated change made Shi Li instantly become extremely alert.
Although she didn't know why she came here, she didn't want to die in obscurity.
After a while, the door of the Yangxin Palace opened, and the crown prince walked out with his head down, with a shout of "Get out" chasing after him.
Is this... a quarrel between the Emperor and the Crown Prince?
Although Shi Li cherished her life, gossip is human instinct, so she couldn't help but secretly glance at the prince's back.
Logically speaking, the emperor and the prince should not be so angry.
The prince is the only legitimate son born to the queen. He has been treated like a treasure by the emperor and the queen since he was a child. He was named the prince of the Eastern Palace when he was one year old. His life till now has been very smooth.
Especially since the emperor's white moonlight queen passed away due to illness three years ago, this prince has become the emperor's only thought of missing the queen. His love is truly deep in his bones.
What's happening now?
"Someone, bring the tea!" The emperor's angry voice rang out in the hall.
When the royal father and son were talking just now, they drove everyone else out. Now the emperor felt his mouth was dry, but there was no one in the hall.
It just so happened that the steward had just gone to the toilet, and there were four eunuchs at the door, including her, and none of them dared to move.
If he moved, the steward would at least be beaten with a bamboo stick when he returned; if he didn't move, the emperor might get so angry that he would chop off his head.
The young eunuchs were obviously waiting for someone to come and rescue them.
But can the emperor afford to wait?
In a flash, Shi Li didn't care about anything else. He lowered his head and hunched over as he walked into the hall. He poured a cup of tea as quickly as possible and respectfully handed it to the emperor.
The emperor's face was still full of anger, and he took the teacup without even looking at it. Just as Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step back, the emperor suddenly called her back.
"Where is your master?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Shi Li, the obviously unfamiliar young eunuch, and suddenly remembered the eunuch chief.
Shi Li: ...
Does she have to die today?
After taking a deep breath, Shi Li lowered his head and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know..."
It was just a coincidence that just after he finished speaking, the chief eunuch came in from outside without even looking at Shi Li who was standing there, but knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was raining outside just now, so I went to bring an umbrella to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The steward was worthy of being someone who had been with the emperor for more than ten years. With just one sentence, the emperor stopped pursuing the matter and nodded with satisfaction.
After pacifying the emperor, the eunuch finally turned his attention to Shi Li, looking at her as if she were a dead person.
But the emperor spoke again at this time.
"You are a very clever little disciple. Ask him to serve in the palace from now on."
The emperor's words saved Shi Li in disguise, but also put Shi Li on the fire.
As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, not to mention that this emperor himself was a founding emperor who had worked his way up from the common people.
Before, Shi Li only had to be wary of the butler. But now, from the moment she opened her eyes, she was wondering if she could survive the new day smoothly.
Fortunately, although the emperor and the chief eunuch are terrible, the prince is a kind man.
That day the emperor and the prince parted unhappily.
The prince did not enter the palace the next day. The emperor could no longer sit still at noon, and with a cold face, he asked the steward to go to the East Palace in person to ask the prince why he did not come.
The steward knew very well how much the emperor valued the prince, so he went to the East Palace without delaying for even a quarter of an hour.
The news brought back was that the prince was ill.
The emperor immediately stood up from the dragon throne and said, "Isn't it fine yesterday..."
After saying that, he actually paced back and forth a few steps.
Finally, he waved his hand and pointed at the steward, "Go and look after the prince for me!"
"Your Majesty, if this servant leaves, what will happen to Your Majesty..." The steward made a bitter face and spoke boldly with his back bent.
He had served the emperor for so many years. If he were to suddenly disappear, the emperor himself knew that he would definitely not be able to get used to it.
But he was really worried about his beloved son being sick.
After a moment's silence, the emperor and the steward seemed to be in sync with each other and looked at Shi Li who was standing next to them.
Shi Li: Ah? Me?
