Chapter 1986 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

After Shi Li entered the palace, he not only met the young emperor and the regent standing beside him, but also met an unexpected person.

Compared with the past, Eunuch Zhao has become much more destitute, with gray hair on his temples and his face full of traces of the ravages of time.

Even if he was dressed decently, it was difficult to conceal his previous miserable state.

In fact, it is easy to know that he followed the previous emperor to abuse his power and his life must be difficult now. However, it is difficult for the young emperor and the regent to find him.

Although Shi Li was somewhat surprised, she was not particularly surprised. She just glanced at Eunuch Zhao indifferently, then looked away and knelt down to pay her respects to the young emperor.

The young emperor is high and mighty, and after just a few months of not seeing him, he is already a completely different person from the little boy he was before.

He did not ask Shi Li to stand up, but smiled meaningfully at her, asked her to raise her head, pointed at Eunuch Zhao and asked, "Second Miss Shi, you should know this person, right?"

Shi Li looked at Eunuch Zhao again and saw a strange smile on his face. She nodded calmly, "I know him. I met him once a few years ago."

"I also know the second Miss Shi. After not seeing her for many years, she hasn't changed much." Eunuch Zhao's voice was shrill and uncomfortable to the ears.

Shi Li curled the corner of his mouth, did not respond, and watched what happened.

"Second Miss Shi, you praised Gu Jinning for her good looks back then. I wonder if you have seen him again after all these years?" Eunuch Zhao might have thought that he was being rewarded, so he asked directly without beating around the bush.

Shi Li looked at him with just the right amount of surprise, "Eunuch Zhao's words are so strange. Aren't you responsible for arresting Gu Jinning? Why are you asking me now?"

She sounded so innocent that it was hard to tell she was lying, but she was too calm, which made people suspicious.

Eunuch Zhao narrowed his eyes, looking a little anxious.

He was a member of the previous emperor's army, and after the young emperor ascended the throne, he was driven to a remote place to live a miserable life. He had waited so long for this opportunity, so naturally he wanted to hold it firmly in his hands.

Seeing that Shi Li was so stubborn, Eunuch Zhao laughed twice and continued to try to get some information, "I heard that Miss Shi and Master Xie are getting married soon. I think Master Xie looks too much like Gu Jinning, don't you?"

The truth was revealed. This time, Shi Li was summoned to the palace because someone wanted her to personally identify that Xie Lin was Gu Jinning.

"What kind of joke is Eunuch Zhao making?"

Shi Li laughed out loud, as if she had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. "How could Xie Lin look like Gu Jinning? Is Eunuch Zhao's eyesight blurry?"

Seeing that Shi Li didn't say a word that was unfavorable to Gu Jinning, everyone present became a little anxious.

They finally took advantage of Gu Jinning's absence from the capital to use Shi Li to get hold of something against him, but Shi Li was so stubborn that if they returned empty-handed, it would be even more difficult to deal with Gu Jinning when he returned.

Eunuch Zhao was also left speechless.

If they had evidence, they would not have called Shi Li over to deceive and defraud her. It was because they had no evidence that they tried to find a breakthrough in her, but it was of no use.

"Miss Shi, you should think carefully before you speak. If for no other reason, you should think about your family." The regent had been pretending to have nothing to do with the matter, but now he couldn't help but speak, and even wanted to threaten her with the Shi family.

Shi Li sneered in her heart.

Back then, her parents were willing to be exiled in order to protect Gu Jinning. Would she be afraid today?

"I don't understand what you mean. Xie Lin is Xie Lin and has nothing to do with Gu Jinning." Shi Li didn't even blink. She knew very well that if there was real evidence, these people would not have treated her so gently.

To put it bluntly, there is no evidence, but they want to extract evidence from her.

This is treating her like a fool.

"In that case, Miss Shi, please go out and wait for a while. I still have some things to deal with." The young emperor's patience was exhausted, and he asked Shi Li to go out directly.

Shi Li was taken out by the eunuchs beside him and stood in the wind direction.

"Miss Shi Er, I'm afraid it's against the rules for you to stand here."

The eunuch, who was relying on the power of the tiger, continued to make things difficult, with a look of smugness on his face, "Please kneel down and wait."

Taking a look at the cold and hard bluestone bricks under his feet, Shi Li gritted his teeth and knelt down.

In such a feudal era, there is no human rights to speak of.

She knelt from day till dusk.

The setting sun shines on my body, a magnificent yet tragic golden line.

Eunuch Zhao came out and said to her in a sinister tone, "Don't be so stubborn. Admit it as soon as possible, and you can still preserve the wealth and glory for yourself and the rest of the Shi family."

"If you want to make a comeback, don't involve me." Shi Li glanced at him and directly opened his mind.

Eunuch Zhao's face turned blue and purple, "Don't be so ungrateful!"

“I was born this way.”
