Chapter 2004 She is not one of the four beauties
Shi Li looked around.
Although it can't compare to Chu Ge's bedroom, it is at least a proper palace, so why not?
She didn't think about all that nonsense and just thanked the old woman very sincerely.
The old woman still had a stern face. She looked at her and turned away.
But after a while, two maids came in orderly with food boxes.
"My beauty, from now on I will be responsible for taking care of your food and daily life." The maid knelt down and saluted Shi Li, not daring to look at her any more.
Shi Li had hardly eaten anything yesterday. She vaguely smelled the aroma coming from the food box, but felt her stomach was empty, so she immediately sat down at the table waiting for dinner.
The lunch box contained six small dishes and a soup, enough for her to enjoy a delicious meal by herself.
The two maids were both professionally trained. They just stood quietly by her side while she ate, without looking around or talking.
After she finished eating, one person took the food away while another person asked her if she wanted to dress up.
Shi Li nodded naturally. It was not a good idea to keep her hair loose all the time.
The maid asked her to sit in front of the dressing mirror and stood behind her to slowly tie her long hair into a bun.
When she was almost done with her hair, the maid pretended to say casually, "My beauty, last night, the queen of the Wu Kingdom hanged herself."
Shi Li was slightly stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at the maid.
Meeting her calm gaze, Shi Li quickly turned his head away.
[Huh? The butterfly effect again? ]
[I remember the Queen and the Witch King spent several years together in the Moon Kingdom! ]
[In fact, it’s better to die now. Otherwise, I will be tortured for a few years and then be forced to death by the Witch King when I return, which is even more miserable! ]
Men can share adversity but not wealth.
In the original history, the queen endured humiliation and accompanied the Witch King in the Moon Kingdom for five years. Five years later, she was finally redeemed back to the Witch Kingdom, but she hanged herself on the second night after she returned.
Everyone knew that the queen had survived so much hardship in the Moon Kingdom for so long, so there must be something fishy about her going back to commit suicide.
But no one dared to say it.
Now, the queen has only brought forward her own death, at least she doesn't have to endure any more torture.
But the maid took the initiative to tell Shi Li about this matter, which made people doubt her intentions. Was it to test Shi Li's attitude, or something else?
The maid didn't have the chance to say anything else because another maid came back with a pile of expensive clothes in her hands.
"The king sent someone to tell the beauty to dress up nicely."
Shi Li looked at the new clothes and sighed with relief. Fortunately, they were all expensive and normal silk, not gauze like the one she was wearing, otherwise... she would have to get used to it.
Shi Li picked out a peach-colored skirt at random, and dressed herself with the help of her maid. She washed her face and put on lip balm. The effects of the hangover gradually dissipated, and she finally revealed her beauty.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around twice in front of the dressing mirror conceitedly. She couldn't help but turned back to ask if she looked good, but she found that the two maids had already knelt down, with their heads lowered and not daring to raise them.
I don't know when Chu Ge came to the door.
He was leaning against the doorpost, watching her.
The sunlight behind him was blocked by him, and it was like a huge shadow covering him, giving him a very oppressive feeling.
Shi Li's heart skipped a beat. She let down her skirt and bent her knees awkwardly, wondering in her mind what he was doing here.
"I'll show you the outside." Chu Ge seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He took a step forward with a smile and stretched out a hand.
His hands were beautiful, but the thin calluses on his palms revealed his secret.
Even if this man appears lazy and harmless now, he has actually been on the battlefield and was a ruthless person who led the army and forced the Wu Kingdom to sue for peace.
Does Shi Li dare not go over?
dare not.
She leaned over, put her hand stiffly on Chu Ge's hand, and was pulled out of the palace by him.
Walking along the spotlessly clean stone road, I saw a man leading a horse, standing quietly with his body hunched, his head lowered respectfully and not daring to raise it.
Shi Li didn't pay attention at first, but when she got closer, she found that the person leading the horse was actually the Witch King!
He really worked as a groom for Chu Ge.
Even though Shi Li knew in advance that the Witch King would suffer humiliation in the Moon Country, this scene still shocked him. After all, for a king of a country to be so servile was really...
She is not easy to evaluate.
People can indeed do anything to survive, but in this era, it is not uncommon for monarchs to be defeated and taken prisoner. The Witch King is the first person in history who is willing to risk his life to lead the enemy's horse.
Chu Ge had already walked to the side of the horse, ignoring the Witch King and looking at her instead.
"Can you ride a horse?"
Shi Li subconsciously wanted to nod, but shook her head again, "No..."
As soon as he said a word, Chu Ge picked him up by the waist and put him on the horse's back, and then he also climbed onto the horse.
"Let's go." These words were said to the Witch King.
