The news that Shen Li was kept in the palace by the Queen Mother was passed back to the Shen family. Shen Zhaojiang was stunned for a while, and finally went to the old lady alone.

The next day, people started to spread the word that Fang, who was kicked out of the Shen family ten years ago, was wrongly accused, and it was Shen Zhaojiang who helped her clear her name.

The Shen family captured the younger brother of the coachman from that year. After interrogation, they found out that it was the coachman who had drugged Fang. Fang slept like a pig, and the two of them actually did nothing.

Then the coachman's brother led Mr. Shen over to see the scene, and the misunderstanding arose.

The driver's purpose was to extort money from the Shen family, but he didn't expect that the Shen family would not be threatened. In a fit of anger, the driver spread the matter, and the situation got out of control.

Those who heard it sighed and praised Shen Zhaojiang for his kindness and righteousness, and for being willing to expose his own scars to prove his deceased wife's innocence.

It's rare to find such a good man who values ​​love and friendship.

Shen Li also heard the news in the palace.

Her first thought was that Shen Zhaojiang wanted to cling to her uncle's support.

She was too lazy to deal with these things. She should go and deliver medicine to the Queen Mother.

Yesterday evening, the guard who injured his eye suddenly developed a high fever, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

Doctor Wang was on duty in the palace and sent someone to invite her over to ask her if she had any solution.

There was only her and Doctor Wang in the room. Shen Li did not hide it and gave the guard an IV drip, fed him pills, and used physical methods to cool him down in front of him.

When she pulled open the guard's clothes and taught Doctor Wang to pour white wine on his hands and rub the guard's chest, Doctor Wang almost said that he wanted to take her as his master.

The guard's fever subsided in the middle of the night. Shen Li stayed there the whole time and only came back at dawn.

When the Queen Mother learned that she had not slept all night to save people, she hurriedly ordered the palace servants to prepare breakfast.

Exquisite dishes were served one by one, and the Queen Mother asked Shen Li to sit beside her and eat together.

Just as I started eating, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, several princes have come to the palace to pay their respects to you."

Nanny Zheng, who was waiting beside her, smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is so blessed. The princes are all filial. They have nothing to do so early in the morning. They come to see you first."

"pass."

The father-in-law turned and left. After a while, four handsome and elegant men walked in.

Shen Li had already put down her chopsticks and was about to stand aside when the Queen Mother stopped her and said, "Don't be restrained. They just look a little serious, but they are actually all naughty monkeys. When you get to know them, you will know that they are even more unruly than you."

Shen Li was embarrassed, not knowing whether to sit or stand.

Xiao Chenze took the lead and paid his respects to the empress dowager in a polite manner.

As soon as they greeted each other, they rushed to the table, without even saying hello, and stuffed the food on the table into their mouths.

"You haven't had breakfast again, have you? You're all here to make trouble again," the Queen Mother complained, but her face was full of smiles. "Madame Zheng, quickly tell the imperial kitchen to send more food over. The food on the table is not enough for them."

Xiao Chenze chewed a shrimp dumpling and spoke vaguely, "Grandmother, you don't know, but I didn't sleep all night last night. I led a patrol to track down the assassin. At dawn, I went to the palace to report to my father without even changing my clothes. I finally had some free time to come see you. Forget about eating, I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."

"Grandmother, I haven't slept all night either," said the man who played the flute yesterday. Shen Li knew he was the Fourth Prince. "Last night I was examining the assassin's body with the coroners. This morning I only had time to go back and take a bath before my father summoned me back to the palace."

"Fourth brother, the Empress Dowager is having dinner, don't mention anything that will upset your appetite," the Third Prince said as he ate, kicking the Fourth Prince. "Miss Shen is here too, what if you scare her by saying this?"

The princes fell silent for a moment.

Xiao Chenze glanced at Shen Li casually, then lowered his head to concentrate on drinking the soup.

On the contrary, Xiao Haoze, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her twice more and kindly pushed the steamed cheese in front of him towards her, "Miss Shen, please have some."

Shen Li said thank you without even raising her head.

There was a pair of eyes on the opposite side that was always scrutinizing her, and the oppressive feeling made her very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the palace servants brought the meal, Shen Li quickly glanced across and happened to meet Xiao Chenze's eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

That familiar feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Xiao Chenze stared at her blankly, his mind suddenly exploding.

It's these eyes, it must be these eyes.

Like a calm lake, and like a cunning rabbit.

He seems honest, but he is full of lively and sparkling light.

It was clearly a restless little animal, staring with big watery eyes, nestling there pitifully, appearing well-behaved and sensible, but in reality...

Thinking of her bold attempt to pull out his clone, Xiao Chenze felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You didn't drink any alcohol, so why is your face so red?" The Fourth Prince looked at him curiously and signaled the palace servant to bring a towel to wipe his face.

Xiao Chenze took the cloth and put it aside, then looked at Shen Li again. She had lowered her eyes and was eating the bowl of steamed cheese in small bites.

It felt like a fire was about to erupt in his heart. Xiao Chenze moved unconsciously, coughed lightly, and asked, "Miss Shen, were you scared yesterday?"

Shen Li didn't expect him to talk to her, so she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, "Fortunately, the guards showed up in time and the panic was over quickly."

"Speaking of which, Miss Shen is quite courageous. She was able to remain calm in such a situation. After all, she is General Fang's niece. It's really admirable."

Xiao Chenze's eyes were always on Shen Li, as if he wanted to see through her.

Shen Li felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. She said lightly: "I don't deserve it. I grew up in the countryside and I am relatively slow. People who don't know me would think that people like us are more resistant to shock than others. In fact, we haven't reacted yet when the incident happened. I am sorry to make the eldest prince laugh."

The corners of Xiao Chenze's mouth slowly curved up.

This voice, this faint sharpness, who else could it be but hers?

This cunning little fox, haha, let’s see how long you can pretend?

Xiao Haoze looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Xiao Chenze has always been too lazy to bother with others, so why is he so enthusiastic towards Miss Shen today?

Is it...

Because her uncle is the General of Cavalry?

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Haoze pushed another bowl of bird's nest porridge towards Shen Li and said with a smile: "Miss Shen doesn't look very good. Drink some bird's nest to replenish your body."

The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You didn't rest last night, and Miss Shen didn't sleep a wink either. She saved another life yesterday."

"Ah!" The Fourth Prince looked at Shen Li, his chubby face full of admiration: "Miss Shen is so amazing at such a young age, and so kind-hearted, so kind-hearted."

The Queen Mother burst out laughing and slapped the Fourth Prince twice, saying angrily, "You speak as if you are much older than me. Obviously, you two are the same age."

The fourth prince scratched his hair and smiled embarrassedly.
