Chapter 2000 She is not one of the four beauties
The distance was so close that Shi Li could smell the scent of Chu Ge.
Mixed with the aroma of wine, it is a subtle fragrance that is difficult to describe.
Like a herb, but also like something else.
Only two words flashed through Shi Li's mind - poppy.
In fact, Shi Li didn’t know whether poppy flowers had fragrance or not, and she had never smelled it. After all, it was illegal, but Chu Ge gave her the feeling of a poppy.
Deadly and damn fascinating.
Unable to wait for Shi Li's answer, Chu Ge smiled even more widely, and suddenly moved closer to her, uttering each word from his lips and teeth.
"Are you Shi Li?"
Shi Li was silent.
She had just lied openly in front of everyone in Wu Country, but when facing Chu Ge, she felt she couldn't say anything. She even felt that this dangerous man had seen through her thoughts.
But if she told the truth at this time, Shi Li felt that her journey through time would end. What would she do if she died and couldn't return to her body?
"I... am." Shi Li almost squeezed out two words from between her teeth and looked at the man in front of her with bated breath.
There was no emotion in those dark eyes, only a cold smile.
Chu Ge stared at Shi Li for several seconds without blinking. When Shi Li thought that his lie was about to be exposed, he put down his hand, turned around and walked back to the throne.
He casually put the wine glass aside, and a sensible servant immediately filled it again for him.
Chu Ge picked up the wine glass with his fingers and turned it gently twice. After looking at the people in the hall, the voice rang out again.
"As expected of a beauty selected by the whole country, send Shi Li to my bedroom."
Shi Li held her breath again after just recovering it.
Without looking around, she knew that everyone around her was focused on her the moment Chu Ge opened her mouth.
Is this a unique honor that you envy her?
In fact, she really wanted to give this honor away, as long as someone was willing to accept it.
She muttered to herself, and it was hard not to roll her eyes when she saw those comments saying that she had made a profit.
No matter how beautiful Chu Ge is, she can't be that casual!
But... in the current situation, can she refuse?
If she rejected Chu Ge in public, would she still be able to survive?
Innocence is precious, but life is more precious!
Shi Li was so confused that she did not notice that Chu Ge and the attendants beside him exchanged silent glances on the throne.
"Miss Shi Li, please come this way." An old woman with a solemn face walked up to Shi Li with her hands folded in front of her chest.
This made Shi Li think of her former school principal for no reason. She was in awe from the bottom of her heart and just lowered her head and obeyed her, following her out of the hall.
As a result, she was taken to a bath by the old woman.
Amid the steaming mist, there is a two-meter square bathing pool with rippling water, surrounded by piles of lustrous white marble, which is extremely luxurious.
Before she could react, three or four maids came up from both sides, quickly stripped off all her clothes, and then urged her to bathe in the pool.
In the past few days since she traveled through time, Shi Li had no conditions or opportunities to take a bath. Every morning, she could only wash her face with clean water. Now, this bathtub is indeed attractive to her.
No matter what, let’s wash it clean first.
She stepped into the bathtub, and the live broadcast room quietly activated the shielding system long before she was stripped naked, and was also considerate enough to play an animated advertisement for the barrage.
【…】
【I am a VIP!!!】
【My mother tongue is speechless! 】
The maids didn't need Shi Li to speak at all. They had a clear division of labor. Some washed hair, some used soap beans, and Shi Li just had to cooperate.
But this also made her very busy, and she did not notice that the old woman who led the way stood beside the bath, bent down personally, and thoroughly examined every inch of the clothes she took off from inside to outside.
It was just an ordinary piece of coarse cloth, nothing special about it.
The old woman frowned as if she didn't believe it, and without paying any attention to Shi Li who was taking a bath, she grabbed her clothes and walked out.
She met Chu Ge who was still drinking.
The other people who came from the Moon Kingdom had been sent away and placed in other palaces. Only Shi Li was left alone in the palace.
Chu Ge was lying on the couch. When she saw the old woman come in, she didn't stand up, but just glanced at her sideways.
"explain."
"Your Majesty, I have checked carefully and found nothing."
The old woman held Shi Li's clothes in both hands and bowed her head deeply. Her attitude was more like fear than respect.
Chu Ge chuckled.
"The Wu Kingdom actually refrained from assassinating me, which shows that they have great ambitions. I don't like to raise a tiger as a threat, so kill it."
Because he was so casual, the old woman couldn't help but look up at him in shock.
"Your Majesty is going to kill the Witch King?"
"of course not."
Chu Ge sat up slowly, fiddling with the wine glass with his fingers, "I want to humiliate him and his queen. From now on, when I go out, let them lead my horse."
