Chapter 41 I Have Choices

"Ma'am, the young master of the Gongsun Mansion has gotten a little close to the young lady recently, and this servant is afraid that this matter will be inappropriate for the young lady."

On the outskirts, two carriages were heading towards Yueqing Temple.

Cui Ying was rubbing Madam Shen's arm, and remembering Lu Chaoyan, she nagged a few words in front of Madam Shen.

Mrs. Shen is also suffering from a splitting headache because of this matter. The Shen family has been avoiding contact with people related to the royal family, but Shen Lili has got involved with these people.

Madam Shen, who was full of pain, sighed and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"

For some reason, the journey to Yueqing Temple is so long today, Mrs. Shen almost fell asleep in the carriage.

Cui Ying raised the curtain of the car and took a look outside, and replied: "Go back to Madam, there is still half a stick of incense time to come."

"Today's journey is not easy." The purpose of coming this time was to pray for Shen Lili, but at this moment, Shen Lili was planning how to evade the imperial decree in his hand.

My mother was not in the mansion, and my father was very busy with things in the shop. At this time, Meng Tang's imperial edict arrived.

"Miss, why don't you inform the master and wife first, and then make a decision." Xiang Toon feared that this matter would not be easy, and needed to discuss with the master and wife before deciding whether to enter the palace.

Shen Lili pondered for a moment, the imperial decree came at an inopportune time, it must have been delivered to her after seeing that her parents were not there.

The imperial decree clearly mentioned that she should go to the bedroom of Empress Su Shanshan, and Madam Lu was leading someone to wait at the gate of Shen's mansion, so she had to bring herself to see Su Shanshan before she would give up.

"Since everyone is waiting outside the mansion, if you don't go to see the empress, these people probably won't leave."

"But Miss..." Xiang Toon was afraid that Shen Lili would not be able to get out after entering.

"You don't have to follow me in. After half an hour, go find Lu Chaoyan and bring him into the palace to find me."

Not everyone can enter the imperial palace. If she entered by herself, the empress insisted on detaining herself. Even if she brought a toon, it would not help, so she could only ask Lu Chaoyan for help.

"My servant understands, Miss, you should be more careful."

As soon as Shen Lili walked out of the Shen residence, Nanny Lu saw her coming out and immediately came up to greet her: "Miss Shen, please."

"Mother Lao has been waiting for a long time."

"Miss Shen is serious."

As long as she can enter the palace to meet the Empress, Mother Lu has already completed half of her mission, so it doesn't matter if she has to wait a little longer.

Shen Lili got into the sedan chair and entered the palace. Zhu Lan saw Nanny Lu carrying her into the palace, and immediately went to report to Na Tuya.

"Princess, it's bad! Miss Shen was brought into the palace by the empress's people."

"What?" Na Tuya had been trying to find a way to enter Shen's residence for the past two days, but she didn't expect Susan to move so quickly and invite people into the palace directly.

"Princess, what should we do now?" Zhu Lan was almost dying of anxiety, and that Tuya hadn't thought of a solution yet, so Susan just came here.

Just as Na Tuya was about to return to the palace, when she was about to open the door, she heard Ye Wen's footsteps and immediately gave up the idea of ​​going back.

If he went back at this time, wouldn't he be telling Susan that he came out for Shen Lili, and that he stayed in the tavern when he came out and hadn't gone out for a walk, Ye Wen would definitely become suspicious.

Natuya opened the door, and met Ye Wen who was about to knock on the door.

Na Tuya pretended to be surprised when she saw Ye Wen, and said after a while, "Miss Ye."

"Princess."

"Miss Ye, you don't need to be too polite. The princess wants to visit the busiest shop in the capital today. I wonder if Miss Ye can recommend it? Show me the way?"

Ye Wen was wondering why Tuya stayed in the room instead of going out to play. Now that she wanted to go out to play, he couldn't stop her: "This subordinate knows that there is a place. I think the princess will like it."

"Then there's Miss Lauie."

"Princess, please."

Zhu Lan was puzzled, not understanding what Na Tuya wanted to do, and immediately followed.

Shen Lili followed Nanny Lu and soon arrived at Susanshan's bedroom.

"Empress, Miss Shen is here."

Su Shanshan was admiring the scenery in the pavilion, holding a young white cat in her arms.

Seeing a guest coming, she hugged the cat to the maidservant behind her, who left with the cat in her arms.

"I've met the empress." Shen Lili walked up to Susanshan and bent slightly.

Su Shanshan reached out to support Shen Lili. It wasn't too cold at this time, but this Su Shanshan's hand was a little cold.

Seeing that Shen Lili noticed that her hands were cold, Susan then said: "I have a problem with cold hands, and none of the imperial doctors in this palace can cure it."

Shen Lili sat down, and when she heard that the imperial doctor in the palace could do nothing, he thought of someone and said, "This king of Nato is called a miracle doctor, why doesn't your mother let the king of Nato heal you?"

Susan could even summon herself into the palace, let alone her own son.

"Miss Shen doesn't know something. Although the king of NATO has saved countless people, he has never healed the people in the palace. Even if he sends someone to invite him, it will be useless." As a prince, the king of NATO has never grown up in the palace. Traveling abroad, his personality is withdrawn, and he doesn't like to associate with other princes, so if he wants to ask him for help, it's simply humiliating himself.

For Shen Lili, it has nothing to do with him whether Su Shanshan's disease is cured or not.

"I don't know why the empress ordered the little girl to enter the palace today?"

Shen Lili looked at Susan who was a few years older than him, and for some reason suddenly felt sad for her.

"Miss Shen is wondering why I married the emperor at such a young age?"

Seeing that her thoughts were seen through by Su Shanshan, Shen Lili immediately apologized: "My little girl has no other intentions, I hope my mother will forgive me."

Su Shanshan did not blame Shen Lili for her unintentional actions: "To tell you the truth, as the daughter of a courtier, I have no choice but to obey the arrangements in order to survive."

How many people can choose the life they like, no one can change their destiny, no one has the ability to compete with power.

Su Shanshan sneered, and asked Shen Lili: "Do you think it's ridiculous that Bengong, as the empress, is locked in this deep palace all day without freedom?"

"The empress and mother are all in the world, and they have inexhaustible glory and wealth. How many women in this world want to break their heads in order to enter the palace and change their fate."

"If I were Miss Shen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be this queen." Susan longed for freedom, her eyes were very sincere, and what she said did not deceive Shen Lili.

Seeing this meaning, Shen Lili roughly understood her purpose of looking for her: "My little girl doesn't have this idea, and she doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong."

"But you're already involved, no...you have no choice."

There was mockery in Susan's eyes, she didn't know if she was mocking Shen Lili or pitying herself.

Her appearance was quite the opposite of the luxurious and beautiful woman I saw just now.

"Your Majesty is right. I can't avoid this dispute, but I have a choice. The young master of the Gongsun Mansion is one of the choices."
