Xiao Mu paused, then left in a messy and quick manner.

Shen Lishu was so angry that he jumped up and down behind him, "Stop! Is that how you teach your children?"

"Really? I'm impressed by you guys!"

Shen Lishu rubbed his headache and looked at Jixiang and Ruyi, "Don't listen to him. From now on, you two will follow me. Your grandparents have given me the right to discipline you."

"Ah?" The two little girls looked at each other, then hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Miserable!

How could there be such miserable children like us in the world!

Shen Lishu is really having a headache. She doesn't know how to reason with her, but blindly using corporal punishment is not a good idea.

In the evening, Shen Lishu went down the mountain to see Xie Jingyi again.

Fang Haoran was holding his son and daughter-in-law, feeling extremely satisfied and silly.

"How do you feel? If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell the nurse immediately."

Xie Jingyi had been cleaned up and moved to the ward. She smiled and nodded, "You saved me again, thank you." She was very peaceful at this moment, emitting a feminine radiance.

"No need to thank me. If I meet someone like that, there's no reason not to save him." Shen Lishu sat for a while and then left.

Taohua was waiting outside, "Master, the dinner is ready."

Shen Lishu stood on tiptoe and pinched Taohua's face. "After so many years, our Taohua is still so beautiful."

Taohua blushed immediately, "Master! Little Radish's figure is still so lustful!"

Shen Lishu: ...What you said is a bit presumptuous.

"Let's go. Did the envoys cause any trouble this afternoon?"

“Of course there are. King Nuan was very quiet, but the envoys from the other three forces were wandering around. They were not allowed to go back into the inner courtyard, so they wandered around other places.

The Shi Jie envoy also went down the mountain and fell in love with a girl in the village. He wanted to grab her and take her with him, but the girl slapped him twice and made him faint.

Shen Lishu paused and opened his eyes wide, "Are all the girls in the village so brave now?"

Taohua burst out laughing, "How could that be possible! He was unlucky. He just happened to meet a girl from the secret chamber passing by the village. She was kind enough not to castrate him."

Shen Lishu touched her nose. She knew how tough the people in the Dark Chamber were. "So he didn't make a fuss?"

"Of course there was a commotion. He ordered his men to arrest the girl. The guards who followed him quickly arrested her and took her away on charges of molesting a woman. The envoy was so scared that he pissed himself and behaved like a quail."

Shen Lishu gave a thumbs up, "Well done! I was wondering why the envoy would fall in love with a peasant girl, it turns out she is from the Dark Chamber."

As everyone knows, the woman in the Dark Pavilion is the most beautiful girl in Qingli Villa and also the girl who should not be provoked the most.

At the same time, in Qingli Country, molesting women on the street is a serious crime.

"Master, we have arrived at Penglai Hall."

"Ahem!" Shen Lishu quickly straightened his clothes, straightened his body, and picked up the rack.

Cuiwei and Zhou Lihua were waiting for her at the door, and when they saw her they immediately shouted.

"The Right Prime Minister has arrived!"

The door slowly opened, and Shen Lishu appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous red dress, following Zhou Lihua. She looked like a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, with a dignified and serious expression, and did not look like a child at all.

Her current condition is not suitable for her to appear as the king, so the banquet is mainly hosted by Zhou Lihua, the apparent right prime minister.

Duan Qing looked at Shen Lishu, and finally died with the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

His daughter is not his daughter!

Zhou Lihua said a few high-sounding official words according to the script prepared in advance and announced the official start of the dinner.

Today's banquet was prepared to receive envoys, and not many people attended.

Shen Lishu felt bored after staying there for only a short while.

The Shijie envoys below began to make trouble, "Is there no one left in your Qingli country? The king didn't even show up at such an important occasion!"

Zhou Lihua put on an impeccable smile, "The envoy is joking. The king is busy with many things and is not in the palace right now."

The implication is not that they are not seen, but that they are not there.

"Hmph!" The messenger flicked his sleeves and threw the tea on the table onto the ground. The splashed broken porcelain pieces just happened to scratch the face of the maid behind him.

The little girl wiped her face and saw that his eyes were cold. She bowed and brought another set of teacups, "I will change the cup for you."

Shen Lishu clearly saw that the girl's nails slid around the edge of the cup. It looked like a seductive action, but in fact she was shaking out the medicine powder hidden in her nails.

This person is so unlucky. He offended girls from the Dark Pavilion twice.

Live it!

Shen Lishu withdrew her gaze, and her original intention to stand out was lost. She estimated that all the maids in this hall were not ordinary girls.

It’s good that they don’t suffer any loss. These girls know their limits. The messenger just has diarrhea at most.

Zhou Lihua is on guard against them.

"All of you Qingli country's national envoys have learned your lesson!"

Shen Lishu thought he was probably talking about what happened in the afternoon?

Zhou Lihua's words were also full of sarcasm, "Everything we do here is in accordance with the law. It has nothing to do with your status."

"Since the envoys have arrived in Qingli, they should abide by our rules, right?"

"Then when did you release my guards!" Shi Jie's envoy always felt insecure without guards around him.

"There's no rush. They will be fine. From today on, I will send additional guards to each envoy. Your actions in Qingli Country will not be restricted."

"Hmph! Nice talk!" The messenger flicked his sleeves and drank in silence.

He felt like he had been fooled!

The Qingli Kingdom has too many rules. I would not have come here if I had known this.

After a while, he suddenly stood up and ran out, holding his stomach.

Shen Lishu smiled secretly in his heart.

The other messengers were confused and looked at the embarrassed figure of Shi Jie messenger leaving.

Some showed an expression of gloating, while others frowned and thought secretly.

King Nuan still looked indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and he just silently played with the wine glass in his hand.

The envoys from the remaining two forces exchanged glances. They were all dissatisfied, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Zhou Lihua frowned slightly and looked at Shen Lishu, and their eyes met.

“Dear envoys, today’s dinner is to welcome everyone, please don’t let these little incidents ruin the mood.

Qingli has always been hospitable. As long as you abide by our laws, you will definitely gain something from this trip."

Zhou Lihua's calm voice rang out in the hall.

The banquet lasted until very late, but Shen Lishu didn't have much patience and left early.

The night wind was very cool, blowing up Shen Lishu's long skirt and also disturbing her heart.

She was walking slowly along the path by herself. Suddenly, as if she had prepared herself mentally, she asked, "Taohua, where is Xiaoman buried?"

Seeing these girls in the secret room today, she couldn't help but think of the silly girl who was willing to risk her life for her.

"It's in the Martyrs' Cemetery on the back hill." Taohua's voice was a little erratic. "She didn't leave anything behind, so we built a cenotaph for her."

Shen Lishu sighed softly. Yes, her Xiaoman died without a complete body. There was not even a trace of her in this world.

"I gonna go see."

As he spoke, Shen Lishu turned a corner and walked towards the back mountain.

All those who have made important contributions to the Qingli Kingdom and sacrificed their lives will be placed in the Martyrs' Cemetery, which is guarded by special people, cleaned regularly, and offered sacrifices.

Shen Lishu walked very slowly, going up the stairs step by step, until she saw the huge archway, she stopped, "Taohua, I'm a little afraid to go in."

A cloak suddenly fell from my shoulders, and Taohua's slightly sad voice rang in my ears.

"Master, it's better not to go in. It will only add to the sadness."

Shen Lishu shook his head. "There are some things I have to face. Since you are here, I will buy you a drink."

She flipped her hand and took out a large jar of wine from the space and walked in.

A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, "Who is it?"

Shen Lishu paused and looked at the man who walked out of the shadows. He looked very old and haggard, with a very long beard, wearing a coarse linen shirt and leaning on a cane.

He only has one leg!

"Taohua, why are you bringing people up here so late?"

Taohua pointed at Shen Lishu and said, "The master wants to come and take a look."

The man frowned, his face full of disapproval, "When did you change your master? Not just anyone can come in here."

At this time, Shen Lishu finally remembered who he was, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Everything has changed.
