Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 178
Shen Xi opened her eyes wide, watching the tall and gentle figure leave, the emotions in her eyes quickly subsided, there was no trace of sadness, only a touch of indifference.

After waiting quietly for a while, a soft voice suddenly sounded in the quiet hall, "I'm sorry."

She had to do this, she was a selfish person, besides, he was not her father.

She never had any relatives.

Standing there, Shen Xi's inner complexities gradually filled her mind.

When Tao Hong came in, she saw Shen Xi who was dazed and distracted, stopped in her tracks, and looked out at the person who could no longer see her back, feeling a little puzzled.

Then he looked at the collapsed table boards on the ground, and said in surprise, "Master, why is this table—"

"Have someone send it to the emperor, and let him pay for it."

Shen Xi looked sideways slightly, sweeping away his wild thoughts, and replied calmly.

Looking at Shang Taohua's puzzled eyes, he didn't explain much.

He didn't know that Rong Jinli was sued by Shen Xi's jealousy, but he was concerned about other things at the moment, "How is it?"

"Prime Minister Shen and Concubine Li stayed in the hall for more than an hour. When they left, there was no difference. However, there seemed to be a quarrel inside, and even the tea table collapsed."

Yucheng couldn't get close to the palace. He had followed Shen Taoye before, and he almost killed him within two strokes. He was very sensitive, and if there was any movement, what he said now was purely listening to Gong'e. words.

Rong Jinli was lazily leaning on the dragon chair, holding the book with one hand, slightly raised his dark eyes sideways, and pursed his lips in an interesting way, "Arguing?"

"What a quarrel, what have you found?"

Immediately afterwards, he asked a little to himself, with a soft and pleasant voice.

Yu Cheng frowned, shook his head, and guessed the answer, "According to my subordinates' guess, if she is really not Prime Minister Shen's biological daughter, she might have been exposed by now."

Rong Jinli sneered, and the tails of his long and narrow eyes showed a trace of irony.

"No, this old fox, who knows what's on his mind, maybe he's thinking about tricks."

The man raised his eyebrows, with a little deep meaning, which was unpredictable.

Apart from Shen Taoye, the only person who knew what happened was Shen Xi.

He became more and more curious whether she was Shen Xi or not.

Thinking of the birthmark I saw at that time, I even believed her identity, but there were so many doubts later, it really didn't look like what a lady of a big family would do.

Perhaps, it's not that she disdains dancing and playing the piano, but she doesn't know how to do it at all.

The conversation under the moon exposed her doubts unintentionally.

Rong Jinli turned his head and put his gaze back on the book, and Yu Cheng also disappeared into the dark shadows, making it impossible to feel his existence.

Not long after the conversation between the two of them ended, there was a knock on the door, but Rong Jinli didn't make a sound.

Seeing that there was no response, Zhao Rong pushed the door open, bowed his body and walked towards the center of the hall with his head bowed.

She bowed to him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has sent someone over."

"Ah."

Rong Jinli was a little surprised, and responded lightly.

Zhao Rong understood very well, and slowly backed out, letting the maid in Shen Xi's palace go in.

"The slaves see the emperor."

It must be the first time that the palace maid was selected to meet Rong Jinli, she was a little nervous, and the oppressive feeling from above made her dare not look up to see the sky.

She lowered her head and knelt obediently on the ground.
