Inside Fengyi Palace.

The queen felt a pang of pain in her gums as she looked at the people she had sent out.

What's going on with all these bruised faces and noses? Who is so bold as to hit her people?

Still need to ask?

Seeing the Queen looking at her, Shen Li smiled nonchalantly, bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty. May Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

After saying this, he stood up straight without waiting for a response, put his hand into his sleeve pocket, looked at the queen and said nothing.

The little leader who had been slapped finally seized the opportunity and shouted, "How dare Shen Li, you behave so rudely in front of the Empress? You really don't take the Empress seriously. What crime should you take for such lawlessness?"

Shen Li touched the purse in her sleeve pocket, which contained the insects that Cui Lan'er had packed for her.

She had secretly opened it and looked at it in the carriage just now. Wow, she had never seen such a long and thick centipede in her life. She really didn't know what Cui Lan'er fed them, this funny thing.

Everyone saw that Shen Li was indifferent to the little leader's scolding, and she didn't seem to be afraid. Thinking of Fang Yao's domineering attitude, they realized that they were indeed uncle and nephew, exactly the same.

The Queen coughed lightly, and a maid took two steps forward and said coldly, "Miss Shen, the Queen is not feeling well. Why don't you kneel down and feel her pulse? What are you standing there for?"

Shen Li glanced at the ruddy queen, who was sitting crookedly on the Arhat couch, glaring at her coldly. She hurriedly said to the nanny, "I'm sorry, my knees have been hurting lately and I can't kneel."

"You!" The maid was furious and was about to explode when the Queen stopped her. "Bring a low stool over for Miss Shen and allow her to sit in front of me and take my pulse."

Shen Li took her hand out of her sleeve pocket and slowly stretched it out for the Queen to see. "Your Majesty, my cousin just returned home and was injured. I have been helping him boil medicine. Some of the external medicines burned my hands and they are peeling all the time. If your Majesty doesn't mind, I can take your pulse. But I am afraid that the medicine will soak into the skin on my hands. Once it touches your skin, it will be transmitted to you. Your skin is delicate and well-maintained. If it is infected and peels, I will be guilty of a heinous crime. I would never dare to do that, but if the Queen insists, I will obey your order."

The queen's sinister eyes were fixed on her face, and she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

She even dared to mention her cousin, Fang Jitao!

She clearly knew that the Chongguo Mansion was destroyed by Fang Jitao, yet she dared to mention it in front of the Queen. This clearly showed that she did not take the Queen seriously. Damn it, damn it!

"Empress? Empress?" Shen Li waved her hand in front of the Empress. "Do you still need me to take your pulse?"

Seeing this, the nanny beside her came forward with a dark face, trying to push Shen Li's hand away, scolding her, "How dare you be so rude in front of the Empress, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt his feet slip and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Shen Li hurriedly took two steps back, watching the nanny get up from the ground in a mess, and lightly brushed his sleeves, putting the remaining stones in his hand back.

Seeing this, the others hurried over to help the nanny up.

The Queen gave the young leader a look, and his expression immediately turned cold. He said, "Ms. Shen, you entered the palace today and behaved rudely. You dared to be disrespectful to the Queen. You clearly don't take the royal family seriously. This is a crime of disrespect. What do you say? Do you want to follow me? Or do you want me to call someone to come and abduct you?"

"Where are you going?" Shen Li didn't look panic at all, and asked this slowly. The palace people were a little confused.

"Uh, here..." The little leader paused, then turned into anger and said, "She's still not honest even when she's about to die. Come, take her away."

Several sturdy maids came over, rubbing their hands and ready to grab Shen Li.

Shen Li stepped back and dodged, "No need to do anything, just lead the way."

At this time, even the queen could not sit still.

How come she's not afraid at all?

She didn't even refute such an obvious slander. What does that mean?

Shen Li walked away leisurely.

The Queen looked at her back and suddenly felt uneasy. "Mammy, do you think she sent a letter to Fang Yao? Otherwise, how could she be so confident?"

The nanny came up to her and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Shen Li was rude to the Queen. It's a disrespect for the royal dignity. What can Fang Yao do if he enters the palace? Just give him the person he wants. I have already lit a magic incense in that room. It will take effect in half an hour. I have inquired and it will take Fang Yao at least an hour to return from the camp. When he gets the news and comes to the palace to ask for the person, I will take him to that room. By then, Fang Yao will see Shen Li lying with the palace guards with his own eyes. He will have another serious crime of defiling the palace, and he will be caught red-handed. Let's see what he has to say."

After hearing her words, the Queen gradually calmed down, and then she leaned back on the Arhat couch and waved her hand, saying, "Go again and tell the people outside to guard the doors and windows and don't let her escape. Wait until the incense takes effect, then drag the little guard in and let Shen Li get confused on her own."

"Yes." The nanny bowed and retreated.

Shen Li was locked in a dark room.

After the maids pushed her in, they closed the door from the outside and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it.

The alarm in her head kept beeping. Shen Li sniffed. Fortunately, she took a pill that could cure all poisons before entering the palace. It was prepared by Qiluo for her.

Find the burning incense. It seems that it will take a while for it to burn out, so there is still time.

Shen Li knocked on the door and deliberately said loudly, "You won't let me out, right? Then let's stay here and see how you will explain it to my uncle when he comes."

After saying that, he flashed and entered the space.

People outside thought she was waiting for her uncle, but they didn't know that she had already come to the queen with just one thought.

The Queen was dozing on the couch. A young palace maid was kneeling on the floor, gently patting her legs. A nanny stood beside the couch, her head bowed and eyes closed, also resting. The others stood at a distance. The palace was silent, without a sound.

Shen Li found the queen's bed and put the centipede in the gap. In a blink of an eye, the centipede crawled in without leaving any trace.

Then, she came behind the queen's couch, appeared like lightning, threw the caterpillar to the queen's pillow, and instantly flashed back into space.

Not a sound was made from beginning to end. The nanny was still sleeping while standing with her eyes closed, and the palace maid was still quietly massaging her legs with her head down.

The queen gradually began to snore.

Shen Li looked through the mist in the space and saw the caterpillars crawling up the queen's arms and neck...

A pig-slaughtering howl was heard. Shen Li sat down in the space with a sneer, and with a thought, he came to the Shen Mansion.

Things have been very busy lately and I haven't had time to take care of Xiao Zhao. I didn't expect that she couldn't help it first.

This is good too. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's time to avenge my dead mother.
