Finally, Fang Yao put away the spoon, and the rest of the people quietly retreated, holding their breath and hiding.

That was the golden spoon voice transmission exclusive to the Fang family army. Except for the secret guards and personal bodyguards who had received strict training from the Fang family army, no one else could understand it at all.

Shen Li sat there quietly with a smile on her lips.

Who is the person in front of me?

He is not only the original owner's uncle, but also the General of Cavalry of the entire Great Zhou.

How can a general who holds the life and death of a country in wartime have a sense of danger that is unmatched by ordinary people?

Regardless of whether the words he had just said would happen or not, they had already made him alert.

The look in his eyes just now told Shen Li that someone must be watching her secretly tonight.

Uncle started to suspect her as well.

Not only was she not angry, she was relieved.

This is what a General of Cavalry should be like, and this is the normal reaction.

Shen Li felt that instead of hiding things, it would be better to be open and honest.

So Shen Li asked, "Uncle, can you find someone to accompany Li'er? He can help Li'er carry the medicine box into the palace, and prevent Li'er from getting lost because she is unfamiliar with the palace. If the dream comes true, the things in the medicine box can save people in time. What do you think?"

"Okay, very good." Fang Yao leaned back in his chair, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly calmed down.

Shen Li was carrying a large bag on her back, and she refused to give it to anyone.

Seeing Fang Yao sitting down to drink tea, Shen Li thought for a moment, then took down the bundle and put it on the table. "Uncle, here are two pieces of soft golden armor. You can wear one to enter the palace. As for the other one, you can decide whether to give it to the emperor."

After saying this, she looked at Fang Yao calmly.

Fang Yao looked at the opened bundle with shock in his eyes.

Before his eyes were two pieces of soft armor gleaming with a mysterious black sheen. They were flexible to the touch, something he had never seen before. He quietly used his internal energy to pinch them, a skill that even iron armor couldn't avoid, yet the soft armor remained unscathed.

He looked up, his eyes burning, and stared at Shen Li for a long time.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Shen Li suddenly felt that she shouldn't have used the story of the strange old man to fool him. She seemed to have thought too simply of this great general.

She blinked and thought for a long time, then shook her head with a helpless smile, "Uncle, Li'er doesn't want to lie to you. I'll tell you when I have the chance."

Fang Yao nodded slowly. The room was so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

"These two soft golden armors are rare in the world. If you trust Li'er, uncle, wear them today. Li'er's intuition has always been very accurate. I always feel that something will happen today. If the sword has no eyes, Li'er hopes that uncle and the emperor will be safe."

"Uncle, please change into it later, for mother's sake."

When they heard the word "mother", they both thought of Fang.

The tense atmosphere in the room eased instantly.

Fang Yao took out the dagger and stabbed the two pieces of soft golden armor again and again, using from 30% to 100% of his strength. In the end, there was not even a trace left on the soft golden armor.

"It's really a good thing," Fang Yao couldn't help but admire.

Looking at Shen Li again, Fang Yao lowered his eyes and asked casually, "Who are you?"

The room became quiet again.

Shen Li's hands closed and relaxed, closed again, relaxed again, and slowly said: "I am Shen Li, absolutely true. But..."

Fang Yao kept his eyes on her, not missing any tiny changes on her face.

Shen Li said, "But I'm not the Shen Li who grew up on the farm as others say. As for what kind of adventures I've had along the way, I haven't figured out how to tell my uncle. He just needs to know that I have a deep admiration for my grandparents and my uncle and aunt."

After saying this, he stood up and bowed from a distance, saying, "If uncle is worried, Li'er will not enter the palace today."

"No need," Fang Yao said without even thinking, waving his hand to stop her. "Uncle believes you are his niece, and there is nothing to worry about. It's just that some things are too strange, so uncle has to ask a few more questions. If something really happens today, no one will use the things in the medicine box if you don't go to the palace, and how can we save people? Don't think too much, go find your aunt later and ask her to clean up for you. When you come back, follow your uncle into the palace."

Fang Yao originally planned to let her enter the palace with Lan, but he changed his mind at the last minute.

After all, she is my sister's child. We can't let others monitor her. It will be bad for her reputation.

In addition to surveillance, he was also worried that when she used the medicine box, someone would question her identity and stop her.

After everything was settled, Fang Yao carried the soft golden armor and took Shen Li to the backyard to find Lan.

......

The morning sun is red and rising slowly in the east.

Those who came to the palace for the banquet got off the carriage outside the palace gate.

The court officials were dressed in court robes, while the ladies were dressed in formal yet refined attire. They greeted each other familiarly, chatting and laughing as they entered the palace together.

Walk along the vermilion palace wall for a while, look up, and you will see the golden glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun.

The wind blew, and the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms filled the air, accompanied by the faint melodious sound of piano. People were intoxicated before the performance even began.

Someone saw Shen Li following behind Fang Yao, asked in a low voice, and then looked up.

It turns out that this is the legendary niece of the Fang family, the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Curious eyes have been following her since she entered the palace. Shen Li lowered her eyes, looking well-behaved and sensible, as if she had not seen much of the world.

The guards around him wrapped the medicine box in a large bundle and carried it on their backs. Everyone thought it was a gift from Fang Yao to the emperor, and no one thought much about it.

Fang Yao also smiled, and turned back to say a few words to Shen Li from time to time. When he smiled, his two big white front teeth were exposed. He looked like a harmless old father, as kind as he could be.

Only when he occasionally glanced at the roof wall, his pupils shrank slightly inadvertently, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared in an instant.

"General, long time no see."

A steady voice came, Shen Li looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of him, bowing to his uncle.

Fang Yao hurriedly bowed in return, "Third Prince, long time no see."

Shen Li lowered her eyes and continued walking forward with her head down.

She had heard from Qiluo that the third prince's biological mother, Concubine An, was the daughter of a fourth-rank official and had once been banished to the cold palace.

When Imperial Concubine Yao had a miscarriage, she accused Concubine An of murdering the heir to the throne and being vicious.

He was originally going to be executed.

Later, it was only because the former queen pleaded for mercy that her life was spared.

A year later, it was discovered that the person who actually killed the royal heir was another concubine, and Concubine An was released.

Her family suffered because of her, some died and some were exiled. Even if they were rehabilitated, things had changed.

The third prince, who was bullied in the prince's residence, also became silent.

After coming out of the cold palace, Concubine An's health deteriorated day by day, and she died not long after.

The third prince was sent to the palace of Concubine Liu, who raised the fourth prince, and grew up with him.
