Shen Li stroked the gun, and the familiar feeling came up again.

I feel so sad.

She wanted to go back with him, back to her familiar world. Even if he had to stuff himself into the sofa or tie himself to the bed, as long as he could bring her back, he would do anything.

She frantically searched the room for traps and loopholes. Since she could come here from another dimension, maybe she could return to modern society from here.

She didn't want to be Miss Shen, didn't want to be the general's niece, and even less did she want to be the empress dowager's favorite or the emperor's favorite.

None of them.

She just wanted to go back, even if it was just to be an ordinary person, go to get off work and come home, and get a meager salary every month. At least that was the world she was familiar with, and she wouldn't feel inexplicably empty in her heart, nor would she be panicked.

No matter how glamorous and powerful she looked in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she did not belong to this era. Her heart was empty, and she always felt confused and lost as she could not see the way forward.

Shen Li searched for a long time, crawled under the bed and under the sofa, and searched every corner, but found nothing.

She sat dejectedly on the ground, unable to cry.

I can’t go back, I really can’t go back.

Loneliness once again surged into Shen Li's heart, and she sat on the ground hugging her knees.

Only then did she realize that there was not a single window or door in the entire room.

The place was closed and the lights were off, but it was so bright that she could even see the hair that had just fallen on the ground.

Where did the light come from? And where did she come in from?

Shen Li stood up in confusion, looked around, and began to search again. Except for a red button at the head of the bed, there was nothing special that could attract attention.

Everything was boringly ordinary.

After all this ordeal, her sadness finally eased a little.

That red button is exactly the same as the one in her space. There is a high probability that as long as she presses it, she will be sent back to the space from this room.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Li put the gun back, closed the desk drawer, and hid the key.

After everything returned to normal, she closed her eyes and reached out to press the red button.

A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of her, and a powerful suction force sucked her in at lightning speed.

The tables, chairs, and benches didn't move, and she was the only one who was sucked away.

The wind was still as fast as a knife, blowing her hair up. The sharp sound of the wind in her ears was like the roar of a wild beast in the winter wilderness, giving her a splitting headache. She wanted to raise her hands to cover her ears and head, but found that she could not move her hands and feet. She was thankful that the strong resistance of the wind did not tear her clothes. Her heart beat faster and she could hardly breathe.

Just as she felt herself near death, her hair fell back onto her shoulders, finally slowing down.

Before she had time to carefully observe her surroundings, a strong light flashed before her eyes. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was in space.

Shen Li stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

So, there is a red button in both the space and the room, and that button is the key to open both sides, so she can travel back and forth through that corridor.

Hope suddenly rose in her heart.

Although she cannot return to her own world yet, the scope of space is expanding little by little. Maybe one day the key will be opened and she can be brought back.

"Girl, girl?" It was Qiluo calling her.

Shen Li awoke from her reverie with a start, peering through the mist. No one was in the room. Yes, she had closed the door, and Qiluo was knocking outside.

The maids all knew that she didn't like to be disturbed when she was resting. Qiluo was calling so urgently, what happened?

Shen Li flashed and jumped out of the space.

"Okay, stop knocking. Here I come."

As soon as the door opened, Qiluo rushed in.

"Miss, someone from the Guanyong Marquis's Mansion came to say that the little girl Hui'er from the banquet was found drowned in a well today. She was originally left with a neighbor to be raised."

Shen Li narrowed her eyes.

Who did it?

After so many days of investigation, there is still no clue, and now he even doesn't let go of a fool. How meticulous this person is.

Could it be the second prince who is so arrogant because of his status as the eldest son?

I heard that recently Censor Cui has been impeaching the Second Prince, saying that he had a little girl to slander the innocence of General Fang's sister. His purpose is to attack the Fang family. At the very least, it is to weaken General Fang's authority in the army. At the most, it is to affect the morale of the army. His intentions are sinister.

When Shen Li heard about this, she laughed with the girls.

Everyone admired Censor Cui's ability to make a small matter sound like a flood, as if the sky was not falling if it was not resolved.

The Second Prince would certainly not admit it, and Censor Cui said that the Yao family helped the Second Prince do it, with the purpose of throwing dirty water on Shen Li and Fang Shi in order to attack Fang Yao.

The old Duke Chongguo stepped forward to deny it on the spot. Censor Cui sneered and asked why Madam Yao died. Don't think everyone is a fool. He said so much and so on. The old Duke Chongguo was so angry that he had a heart attack on the spot. He almost couldn't breathe and just died.

Because of this, the queen hated Censor Cui very much.

Not daring to cause trouble for Censor Cui, he turned his attention to Cui Lan'er.

The Queen asked the Emperor for permission to invite several young ladies from the capital to the palace to accompany the princess to study, and Cui Lan'er was among them.

Censor Cui refused on the spot, and the queen accused him of disobeying her order and taking revenge on her.

During the stalemate, Cui Lan'er wrote a letter to Shen Li, and the letter was so worried that she was about to die.

Shen Li gave her an idea. On the first day of her study in the palace, she should put a frog in her pocket. When they were playing, she should take out the frog to scare these delicate girls and see if the princess dared to let her enter the palace again.

Cui Lan'er was happy when she heard this, and quickly asked her father to agree to let her go to the palace to accompany her studies. She said she had a solution and asked her father not to worry.

She thought frogs were too weak and not scary at all.

She brought in a snake, a vegetable snake she kept in her backyard.

The weather was hot and the snake's body was cold, so she often hung the snake around her neck to cool herself down.

On the day of entering the palace, the teacher finished his lecture and asked everyone to write.

The sun is shining brightly outside and the cicadas are chirping.

The ladies were dressed neatly and sat upright. Even though there was an ice basin, they felt hot and irritable all over, and those who were a little fatter were even sweating.

At this moment, Cui Lan'er slowly took the snake out of the bookcase and hung it around her neck.

She sat in the last row and no one noticed her at first.

She stood up and took the big characters she had written to the front to ask the teacher to review them.

Just as she passed by a girl from the Yao family who was sitting behind the princess, Miss Yao deliberately stretched out her foot to trip her, and she tilted her body and fell on Miss Yao.

The snake on the neck suddenly raised its head and spat out its tongue at Miss Yao.

There was a loud scream, and then the sound stopped abruptly. Miss Yao couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

The princess and others heard the noise and turned around to see what was going on.

Just when I thought the scarf around Cui Lan'er's neck was strange, the scarf moved.

Not only did it move, it also raised its head and shook it at them, then its long, thin tongue stammered. The princess rolled her eyes and fainted without making a sound.
