In the spacious and luxurious carriage, Shen Li's eyes were fixed on Aokiji.

There was curiosity and surprise in her eyes.

Aokiji, who was being stared at like this, seemed a little uncomfortable.

She first subconsciously touched her pink cheeks, then reached out and smoothed her hair, as if wanting to confirm if there was anything wrong.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Princess, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hearing Aokiji's slightly shy words, Shen Li couldn't help but smile.

She gently tapped Aokiji's forehead and said:

"You really surprised me today. I never expected that you, who are usually so quiet, could be so eloquent and talkative, and every word you say makes sense."

When Aokiji was praised, her cheeks flushed like a ripe apple.

She was just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Aokiji lowered his head slightly, realizing that the princess was referring to what had just happened in the Shen Mansion.

At this time, Qingluan came over and joked, "That's right, Qingji! I always thought you were dull and could do nothing but fight and kill, but who would have thought you would be so powerful at the critical moment! Next time I talk to you, you are not allowed to play dumb!"

Aokiji blushed and said, "The situation was urgent at the time. I only wanted to protect the princess. If Prime Minister Shen had slapped me, the consequences would have been disastrous..."

Shen Li smiled.

There was no way she could have received that slap in vain.

She was ready and about to get the anesthetic from the medical space.

Aokiji took action.

Those who are loyal to their Lord will always be treated with kindness.

Shen Li took off the bracelet that had been snatched away by Shen Zhihua from her slender wrist, and then gently put it on Aokiji's wrist.

She looked at Aokiji with gentle yet firm eyes and said, "From now on, if you have any thoughts or words in your heart, just tell us. There's no need to hide them. Although we are master and servant, in my heart, we are more like sisters!"

When Aokiji heard this, he immediately panicked and hurriedly wanted to take off the jade bracelet on his wrist and return it to Shen Li.

He kept muttering, "Princess, this is absolutely not allowed! This jade bracelet is so precious..."

She knew very well that as a maid, protecting the princess was her duty, so how could she dare to expect such a precious reward?

In the past, when the princess rewarded them with novel things such as facial masks, lipsticks and eye shadows, she was already extremely happy.

Now the princess was willing to give her the jade bracelet she had worn before. How could she bear it?

Shen Li reached out and held Aokiji's hand, saying firmly, "If you truly regard me as your sister, then accept it obediently. From now on, whenever I have a bite of meat to eat, you guys will definitely have a bite of soup to drink!"

Seeing this, Qingluan, who was sitting beside them, quickly spoke up to persuade them, "Qingzhi, since the princess has said so, don't refuse anymore and accept it quickly."

Aokiji looked up at Shen Li with a sincere face and Qingluan who was cheering beside him, and knew that if he continued to be stubborn, he would probably let down the princess's kindness.

So, she accepted the jade bracelet and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Aokiji will do his best to serve you in the future!"

......

Before Shen Li and the others arrived at the palace, Yun Chenyu had heard about what Shen Li had experienced in the Shen Mansion.

His brows knitted tightly together, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned to Xiao Jingyan behind him and said in a deep voice: "Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Shen Mansion tonight."

Jamel Xiao responded respectfully: “Yes.”

Night falls quietly and everything is silent.

In the middle of the night, Prime Minister Shen got up in a daze and went to the toilet.

When he reached out and pushed the door open, he felt something sliding straight down from the side of the door.

The thing was shaped like a wooden stick, but it felt extremely smooth and delicate to the touch, and it was icy cold to the touch.

"What a bunch of useless slaves! They can't even clean the door!"

Prime Minister Shen frowned and cursed in a low voice, then impatiently threw the "stick" in his hand aside, then raised his foot and was about to step out of the room.

However, what he never expected was that there were many such things placed in a mess outside the door.

The moment he stepped on it, his foot suddenly slipped and his whole body lost balance and fell forward.

"Ouch..." With a scream, Prime Minister Shen fell heavily to the ground, looking extremely miserable, just like a dog eating shit.

The scream woke Mrs. Shen from her sleep.

"What's wrong?" She lit the oil lamp and hurried out of bed to check.

When she saw the scene in front of her with the dim light, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed.

At this moment, Prime Minister Shen was lying on the ground in a very strange posture, with a pile of bones under him. He was holding a pale bone tightly in his right hand, and his left hand was pressing on a skull!

This scene is like being in a terrifying hell, which is creepy.

When the servants heard the screams, they all ran out of the house in a hurry.

When they saw the horrific scene clearly, they were so scared that their faces turned pale, their legs went weak, and they retreated backwards one after another.

There was a pile of pale bones scattered all over the ground, which was eerie and terrifying.

"Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and help the master up!" Mrs. Shen shouted.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They suppressed their inner fear, walked tremblingly towards the pile of bones, and carefully helped Prime Minister Shen up.

At this time, Prime Minister Shen was already furious, his hair standing on end, his face as red as pig liver.

He panted heavily and roared loudly, "Who is it? Who dares to scare me like this? If I find out who it is, I will skin them alive and rip out their tendons to vent my hatred!"

At this moment, the Prime Minister's wife pointed her trembling hand towards Prime Minister Shen's tightly clenched right hand and stammered, "Master... Master... in your hand..."

"What's wrong with my hand?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Shen subconsciously lowered his head to look at his hands.

It's not a big deal if you don't look at it, but it's even more terrifying when you do.

I saw that he was holding a smooth, white bone in his hand, which was emitting a chill.

The bone seemed to have life, trembling slightly in his palm.

Prime Minister Shen felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead, his scalp went numb, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

He screamed in terror and threw the bone in his hand away as if he had been electrocuted. Then he suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
