Chapter 2018 She is not one of the four beauties
Chu Ge has beautiful eyes.
From a close distance, they look like two flawless black pearls, nestled in the eye sockets, shimmering with a layer of lustrous light.
In this situation, Shi Li felt that if nothing happened, she would be sorry for herself. She pursed her lips, looking forward to what was about to happen more than nervous.
However, Chu Ge always surprised her.
He slowly sat back up again, and asked with a smile, "Can you see clearly this time, my beauty?"
Shi Li: ...
[We can draw a conclusion now. Chu Ge is just not good enough~]
[Alas, it's such a pity to be so pretty! ]
[It’s not a pity. It’s not good to have something that looks good but is not useful. You’ll understand once you get married…]
Before, Shi Li thought Chu Ge had other hidden secrets, but now, she also kind of believed that, uh... he was really... not that good.
I could only mutter this to myself in my heart. Saying it out loud would be fatal. Shi Li pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Yes, I saw it clearly. The king is indeed good-looking."
But after this incident, the relationship between the two is different from the past.
They both knew who Shi Li was.
Shi Li was not naive enough to think that Chu Ge really believed that she was Shi Li, but since he didn't care, she didn't need to say or explain more.
When she returned to the side hall, Shi Li saw Zheng Mei sitting by the window with a worried look on her face. There was a plate of fresh snacks next to her, but she didn't eat a single bite.
Seeing Shi Li coming back, Zheng Mei immediately walked over in two steps, took her hand and looked her up and down.
"I'm so glad that you're okay. I was so worried!" Zheng Mei relaxed her brows and let out a long sigh.
Shi Li smiled and tried to comfort her. Finally, she couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "What did you just do..."
"I can still tell who is good to me."
Zheng Mei snorted, "They didn't care about the lives of us who were sent to the Moon Country before, and now they want to use us as leverage. Aren't we human beings? I don't want to help them!"
The righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few. The actions of the Witch King and Fang Li have already lost the support of the people long ago.
Shi Li thought that the days of coexistence of various princes would continue for a long time.
If the ruler of a country does not care about the common people, then the people will always have a hard life.
She followed Chu Ge out of the palace twice. Perhaps because it was next to the royal palace, the people she saw on the streets, although not very wealthy, at least did not look like zombies and lived a relatively stable life.
Historically, Chu Ge did not live long.
The Witch King endured hardships for several years and finally defeated the Moon Kingdom in one fell swoop. Chu Ge was forced to commit suicide.
Shi Li's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously frowned and began to worry.
Not far away in Changle Palace, Chu Ge was drinking alone, and the whole hall was filled with the rich aroma of wine.
After a while, the servant walked in quietly with his head lowered and knelt before him.
"Your Majesty, someone saw Doctor Fang in Wu Country, and people have been sent to look for him."
"Is there anyone?" Chu Ge played with the wine glass and glanced at the servant with an unpredictable expression.
The attendant shuddered all over and hurriedly continued to explain: "We have brought the man back and questioned him carefully. It is confirmed that it is Doctor Fang."
"Please line up another group of people and find Doctor Fang to come over." Chu Ge retracted his gaze and poured himself another glass of wine.
The attendant reported back and went out.
Chu Ge raised his glass and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window.
The previous king of the Moon Kingdom was a stubborn and amorous man.
Outside, he engaged in excessive military expansion and expanded his territory, but the people also suffered from the constant wars.
Including, collecting beauties from all over the country to enrich the harem.
At its peak, the Moon Palace had more than 20 princes and princesses, big and small. But the former king believed in the law of the jungle and never paid attention to the growth of the princes and princesses, only to see who could fight to the top.
The concubines in the harem were busy vying for favor, and the princes and princesses were busy guarding against and framing each other.
Chu Ge's biological mother was the most ordinary concubine in the harem. She originally lived in a small village on the border. The previous king passed by during a war and was attracted by her beauty, so he kept her in that mountain village.
It was not until seven years later when he passed by the small mountain village again that he remembered the existence of such a beauty. He looked for her and wanted to relive the old days, but found that the beauty no longer had the same appearance as before, but had given birth to a son.
Even though he didn't like it, the late king still brought the mother and son back to the palace, and that was all.
Chu Ge was naturally bullied when he first arrived at the palace because his biological mother was not favored. However, he was different from his timid biological mother. He was both resourceful and smart.
Gradually, no one dared to bully him anymore, but...they still used just as many tricks in secret.
Chu Ge had brushed shoulders with death many times.
Even before his biological mother fell seriously ill and died, she revealed a huge secret to him.
