Chapter 2658 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
On the way back in the carriage, Shi Li quickly recounted in detail all that had happened to him today.
Prime Minister Shi, who felt sorry for his daughter, gradually became serious.
The princess of the Feather Clan was able to walk out of the villa quietly and come to the villa belonging to Princess Chaoxia without alarming anyone. This could not be achieved by Zhong Shanlang's planning alone.
Such a large-scale move must be planned and supported by a mastermind behind the scenes.
Shi Li thought of what happened on the mountain last time and lowered her voice and asked, "Could it be the Third Prince?"
From her perspective, the Third Prince has both the motivation and the power, so it is very likely that he would do so.
But Prime Minister Shi knew the emperor's sons better after all, so he just snorted.
"He doesn't have the brains or the courage."
The third prince is just a paper tiger, showing his fangs and claws and jumping around every day. The emperor is too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous and stupid son.
Prime Minister Shi had something even more unpleasant to say that he didn’t say out loud: barking dogs don’t bite.
However, Shi Li's mention of the Third Prince did provide him with some other ideas.
"Whoever dares to collude with the Feather Clan this time will have to bear the consequences."
When Prime Minister Shi talked about business, it was not just to seek justice for his daughter. After all, someone in this capital city dared to collude with the enemy. If he didn't find out who it was, it would shake the foundation of the country.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so Prime Minister Shi simply said, "Let Lu Shenyuan take you back home, and I'll go to the palace first."
Since the princess of the Feather Clan was injured by the poison needle on Shi Li's bracelet, she will naturally look for an antidote everywhere. When the time comes, he will want to see how the Feather Clan is going to explain it!
"Don't worry about me, Dad. Everything is fine."
Shi Li had completely recovered by now and just asked Prime Minister Shi to rest assured.
Prime Minister Shi didn't say anything more. He just stopped the carriage, got off, mounted his horse, and hurried to the palace with a team of imperial guards.
Lu Shenyuan, who had been following the carriage on horseback silently, quietly rode up and walked beside the carriage at the same speed, like a guard silently protecting the princess.
Shi Li quietly peeked at a corner of the carriage curtain and could see Lu Shenyuan's extremely handsome and upright figure riding on the horse.
How to put it, the skillful riding posture, straight back and long legs are really the best medical beauty for a man.
Lu Shenyuan didn't say anything either. He just looked at her quietly when she lifted the curtain, gentle and reliable.
The two of them didn't even need to talk much, as there was already an atmosphere of infatuation and tenderness surrounding them.
The carriage rolled quietly through the streets and finally stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shi Nian and Shi Jiao waited at the gate for a long time. Their faces were red from the cold. When they saw the carriage, they immediately jumped up like little monkeys.
"Sister, you must take me with you next time you go out. I will protect you!" Shi Jiao clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground. Shi Nian also nodded vigorously beside him, his eyes as firm as steel.
Then the person who came out was Liu Shui, pushing a new wheelchair. She stood beside the carriage, her eyes were red, but she was trying hard not to cry.
No one knew how much pain she was in during the time when Shi Li was not found.
Now seeing Shi Li return safely, the guilt and self-reproach in his heart have not diminished at all. He gripped the wheelchair tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.
Shi Li knew what she was thinking just by looking over. However, with so many people around, she didn't say much. She just stretched out her hand to Lu Shenyuan who was dismounting from his horse.
Lu Shenyuan tacitly carried her down from the carriage and gently placed her on the wheelchair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Li freed up one hand and shook Liu Shui's hand tightly.
"I'm going to go back first. You've worked hard, so go back and rest early. Remember to come and guide Shi Nian and the others tomorrow."
Shi Li blinked at Lu Shenyuan.
In the darkness of the night, the young man took a while to react before he realized that Shi Li was implicitly inviting him to meet. His dark eyes seemed to light up, and he immediately answered loudly, "Okay."
Then he kept watching Shi Li being surrounded by a group of people as she walked into the Prime Minister's Residence. He did not turn around and leave until the door was closed.
[It looks like the wife-watching rock~~~]
[Although Lu Shenyuan didn't say anything, I think it's better than anything else! ]
[Yes, it was right not to say anything, because he didn't even think about whether the anchor had been hugged by Zhong Shanlang. He just wanted to kill Zhong Shanlang.]
The discussion in the barrage was still heated. After Shi Li entered the mansion, she sent away her two younger brothers who were worried about her with a few words, and then was left alone with Liu Shui.
"Miss..." Liushui still didn't cry, but pushed her back into the house, then knelt on the ground with a plop.
Shi Li was silent for a moment.
It was she who asked the waiter to deliver the tray, so it was impossible to blame her.
"I'm really fine, and this might be a blessing in disguise. Father is going to make another contribution." Shi Li could only avoid the topic and turn things in a better direction.
