Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Rao Ji and Shi Li returned home safely.

Almost as soon as she got out of the sedan chair, Rao Ji's lover Fang Shi hurried over.

Seeing the middle-aged man in court robes walking towards them in a hurry, Shi Li tactfully took a step back, and the others did the same.

Rao Ji originally thought it was nothing, but with Shi Li's presence, it made things a little more awkward.

"How is it? Did you feel wronged?" Fang Shi walked up to Rao Ji and looked her up and down nervously.

He had heard about the palace incident a long time ago and was extremely worried, but as so many things were involved, he did not dare to show up or inquire about it. He just waited for Rao Ji to come back and then came to visit her to show his concern.

Rao Ji treats Fang Shi like she is her own top brother. Although she feels a little ashamed in front of Shi Li, her professionalism is superb.

He immediately smiled gently at Fang Shi, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I just have the honor to stay in the palace for one night. It's an honor."

Fang was moved by Rao Ji's thoughtfulness and gentleness, and couldn't help but hold her hand in public.

"You...are always like this. You won't say anything even if you've been wronged." After a pause, Fang Shi lowered his voice and said, "These are troubled times. You should be more careful and don't fall into other people's traps."

"I know, I will never put you in any difficult position, don't worry." Rao Ji is definitely a sweet-talking girl that everyone likes, otherwise Fang Shi, who is in a high position of power, might have been so devoted to her for so many years.

The two talked in the room for a while, and Fang, as he had official business to attend to, walked away, looking back every few steps.

Rao Ji sat down and drank half a cup of tea, and Shi Li also came back silently.

Seeing Shi Li, Rao Ji lowered her head and tucked her hair in embarrassment, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."

"How can such means be laughed at? You have worked hard." Shi Li praised sincerely.

Whether it is a woman who adapts to the times and strives to gain a place for herself, or a woman who resists the shackles of the times and wants to save more people, they are all worthy of respect.

Over the years, Rao Ji thought she was used to being secretly despised for relying on her beauty to get to the top, but suddenly she was praised so sincerely that she was slightly dazed, and then tears welled up in her eyes.

"I guess you didn't get enough rest last night. You should sleep a little longer."

Shi Li was not used to seeing women cry, so he quickly found an excuse to slip out and returned to the room that Rao Ji had specially arranged for him.

Although it is a wing room, it is open from north to south, and its lighting and layout are both top-notch. The details show Rao Ji's attentiveness.

Shi Li stayed overnight in the palace yesterday and was alert all the time. He was harassed by Shi Wu and did not sleep well. He took a nap in the side room and woke up after noon.

There was a knock on the door outside.

It was a servant beside Rao Ji, who held a stack of letters and handed them to her respectfully.

Shi Li put the letters on the table and read them one by one.

These were the most common letters sent to her by the butler of Qianqi Tower, but they dared not pass through the hands of outsiders. The contents of the letters were encrypted. Even if someone saw them, they would just think they were ordinary letters and would not find any problems.

The last letter stated that someone close to Princess Zhiyan secretly purchased a fake-death drug at Qianqi Tower at a high price.

Because Princess Zhiyan is now related to Master Fei, the steward reported this matter as well.

Shi Li thought of what happened to Princess Zhiyan yesterday and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Everything that happened yesterday must have been a trap set up by Madam Yu and Master Fei for the Crown Prince, and Princess Zhiyan was a crucial part of it.

If Princess Zhiyan was unconscious, the Crown Prince would only be imprisoned instead of being completely deposed. Madam Yu and Master Fei had not achieved their ultimate goal, so they naturally had to think of other ways.

If Princess Zhiyan could not bear the humiliation and chose to die, things would become even more out of control.

For the sake of the royal family's reputation and to give an explanation to the vassal states, the monarch is likely to punish the prince more severely, or even depose him in anger.

The only price to pay for this series of schemes was Princess Zhiyan's life.

But now it seems that Princess Zhiyan is not completely unaware of the situation, otherwise she would not have found Qianqi Tower and spent a large sum of money to buy medicine.

Madam Yu and Master Fei are extremely scheming and cunning.

Shi Li was silent for a while, checked the letters one by one, and then sent them out through his servants.

After finishing this matter, Shi Li thought of Shi Wu again.

Although I'm not 100% sure, I think he should still be lingering nearby. I don't know if it's for her or because he feels the mission is not yet complete.

Shi Li stood in front of the window and stretched slightly. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable without Shi Wu by her side.

Just a little bit.
