Hall of Eternal Joy.
Li Lizhi sat at the table and ate the imperial food slowly.
Beside her stood a palace maid of similar age. At this moment, the palace maid's entire body was trembling slightly. She was very emotional and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Ying 'er, what's wrong with you?" Li Lizhi looked at the palace maid and asked with a smile.
The palace maid wiped her tears and said excitedly,"It's fine, Ying 'er is fine. Ying' er is happy to see that the princess has finally eaten.”
Ying 'er was Li Lizhi's personal palace maid. She grew up with her, played with her, studied with her, and grew up with her.
Li Lizhi also liked Ying 'er. She never treated her as a slave, but as a sister.
"Silly girl." Li Lizhi stood up and wiped Ying 'er's tears." Come, sit down."”
"Ying 'er wouldn't dare."
Li Lizhi smiled and rolled her eyes at Ying Er." What? I've been out of the palace for three years, and you're already estranged from me? Or have I been cold to you for the past five years and you don't treat me as your sister anymore?”
" No, no..." Ying 'er waved her hands anxiously.
"Alright, sit down."
" Thank…Thank you, Princess." Ying 'er bowed slightly and sat beside Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi held her hand and smiled.""I haven't been in a good mood for the past five years.”
"I'm a little cold to you. Don't take it to heart. Actually, you've always been in my heart.”
Ying 'er hurriedly replied," I didn't. The princess has done me a great favor. I'm only grateful to the princess. I don't have any complaints."”
"Yes, I know." Li Lizhi smiled and nodded." Ying Er, I want to ask you something. You must answer me truthfully."”
"Princess, please speak. Ying 'er will definitely tell you everything she knows.”
"Alright." Li Lizhi's beautiful eyes narrowed as she said seriously,""Let me ask you, did Imperial Father ask you to monitor me? Do I have to report every move to him?"
When Ying 'er heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground." Ying' er did not dare to lie to the princess. His Majesty did tell Ying 'er about this, but Ying' er definitely did not say anything that she should not have.”
"Ying 'er is loyal to the princess and has no second thoughts. If she has second thoughts, she will be punished by the heavens!”
"Alright." Li Lizhi smiled and pressed Ying 'er's hand." You don't have to make it sound so serious. I was just asking."”
"I know your loyalty to me."
"Alright, get up and eat with me.”
"Thank you, Princess." Ying 'er stood up and sat down beside Li Lizhi again.
"Ying 'er, if Father is asking about me, tell him the truth," Li Lizhi said gently.”
"Also, I've been bored to death during this period of time. When the rain stops tomorrow, accompany me to the garden for a walk.”
"Alright." "As long as the princess is happy, I'll do anything." Ying 'er said happily.”
"Yes, accompany me to eat."
"Yes, yes." Ying 'er nodded repeatedly and kept putting food into Li Lizhi's bowl.
"Princess, eat more. You've lost a lot of weight in these five years.”
"Ying 'er is really happy. The princess has finally eaten.”
Li Lizhi looked at Ying Er, who was smiling, and felt very gratified.
In the palace, besides her mother, Li Lizhi only trusted Ying 'er.
Ying 'er was definitely the most suitable spy for her.
However, she had to consider how to escape successfully without implicating Ying 'er.
……
Dew Palace.
Zhangsun Wugou returned to the dormitory and greeted Li Er.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Er hurriedly helped Zhangsun Wugou up." Why are you so polite, servant? There are only the two of us in the bedroom. Do we still need to greet each other?"”
"I still have to abide by etiquette," Zhangsun Wugou said calmly."Otherwise, if His Majesty is unhappy one day, he will imprison me too.”
When Li Eryi heard this, he knew that Zhangsun Wugou was still upset about him eavesdropping.
" Sigh…" Li Er sighed." Servant, it's not that I don't trust you.”
"Zhen is angry, angry at that commoner!”
"If this one knows who he is, this one will definitely tear him into pieces!”
"He's the one who's been harming Zhi 'er for the rest of her life!”
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he sighed softly." Second Brother, have you never thought of fulfilling Zhi 'er's wish?”
"Look at Zhi 'er…"
"Don't say anymore!" Li Er directly interrupted Zhangsun Wugou's words." Zhen will never agree.”
"Having an affair with the princess is a crime that will kill all nine generations.”
"This concerns the face of the imperial family, so how could Zhen agree?”
"I don't know who he is, so I'll let it go. If I know, I'll definitely kill him!”
Zhangsun Wugou saw how angry Li Er was and knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation.
Second Brother, don't blame me. I can't just watch Zhi 'er die.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore." "How was your talk with Zhi 'er today?" Li Er waved his hand and asked. Is she feeling better?"
"I'm much better. I've already eaten today.”Zhangsun Wugou said indifferently.
"What is it? Have you eaten?" Li Er was overjoyed." Really? After five years, she was finally willing to eat. Maid, how did you do it?“
Zhangsun Wugou sighed." I had no other choice. No matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen.”
"In the end, I could only threaten her and say that if she didn't eat, I wouldn't eat either and would accompany her.”
"Zhi 'er still understands filial piety. Seeing that I'm serious, he started eating.”
When Li Er heard this, he laughed and said,"Haha, good. Just eat."”
"Her body can only recover after eating. When her body recovers, her mood will be better.”
"I gradually forgot about that person."
"Servant, you have done well in this matter. Zhen is very pleased.”
"It's nothing. I just feel sorry for my daughter." Zhangsun Wugou smiled faintly.”
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Go to bed.”
"Yes."
After a quiet night, the next day, Li Er called Ying Er over and asked about Li Lizhi.
Ying 'er answered truthfully according to Li Lizhi's instructions.
He told her about Li Lizhi's meal and her stroll in the imperial garden.
After Li Er heard this, he was even happier.
First, they ate, then left the Hall of Eternal Joy and went to the imperial garden to relax.
This was a sign that he was going to let go.
Good, very good. If this continued, his lively, cheerful, and educated precious daughter would be back soon.
Of course, Li Er would not listen to Ying 'er's one-sided story. He also asked the Thousand Bull Guards, the Royal Guards, and the spies he had arranged.
After receiving the same answer, Li Er finally believed it.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this period of time, Li Lizhi's condition was getting better and better, and Li Er's wariness was gradually relaxed.
Of course, there was a more important reason for Li Er to relax, and that was that the disaster of the rainstorm had expanded.
Now that the major shops in Chang 'an had run out of food, the imperial court had begun to open the imperial warehouse to provide disaster relief.
However, the imperial warehouse only had so much food. It was definitely not enough to solve the famine.
Helpless, Li Er left the palace once again to visit Lin Chen.
In fact, in the past half a month, Li Er often went to look for Lin Chen. Now, their relationship was getting better and better.
They were like brothers.
Li Er felt that the time was ripe. He should be able to directly ask Lin Chen for a countermeasure.
After making up his mind, Li Er summoned Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong.
The four of them left the palace again.
On the other side, Li Lizhi also received news that Li Er had left the palace.
She quickly brought Ying 'er to the imperial garden. After a while, Li Lizhi saw a troop of Thousand Bull Guards patrolling.
The leader was Qin Qiong's eldest son, Qin Huaiyu!
