Chapter 392: Love and Troubles
Lying on the bed, Shen Li tossed and turned, the guard's mention of Luo Lingchen vomiting blood constantly appearing in her mind. Her heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and she was still a little worried.
At this moment, Chu Qiu quietly pushed the door open, holding a plate of steaming food in her hands. Her face was full of worry, and she said softly, "Miss, I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I quickly asked the cook to make something delicious. Please get up and eat something."
Shen Li suddenly realized that she had been so focused on making wontons for Luo Lingchen all morning that she hadn't even had time to eat breakfast. No wonder she was so restless now. She must be too hungry.
So, she swiftly got out of bed and said briskly, "No wonder I couldn't sleep because I was tossing and turning. I was so hungry!"
Seeing Shen Li's previous sadness swept away, Chu Qiu couldn't help but smile and said, "His Royal Highness Crown Prince Nangong just came back. He specifically asked me if you were still angry with him. He wanted to see you and also said he wanted to tell you about the fate of those human traffickers."
Shen Li pondered for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied: "Okay, you go and ask him to come over, I will listen while I eat."
After receiving the order, Chu Qiu responded happily, "Yes, miss, I'll go and invite you right away!" After that, she turned around and left quickly.
Soon, Nangong Qi was led to Shen Li's room. Chu Qiu quietly left and closed the door considerately.
Nangong Qi stood in the room, his posture a little stiff, as if he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Shen Li looked up and smiled, saying, "Since when have we become so estranged? Why are you so reserved?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qi straightened up quickly, looked at her seriously, and said, "Ali, I've thought about it carefully. You already have someone you like, so it's normal for you to have that kind of intimacy.
From now on, I will never lose my temper and go crazy like that again. I only have one request. I wonder if you can still keep a place for me in your heart? I..."
When Shen Li heard this, she looked up at him in surprise.
Nangong Qi took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, and continued, "If possible, I am willing to be your sidekick. As long as I can always be by your side, that's enough!"
Shen Li was shocked when she heard this. She lost her grip on the chopsticks and they fell to the ground with a "pa ji".
Nangong Qi was quick-witted and stepped forward quickly. He bent down to pick up the chopsticks and handed them back to Shen Li. He said in a gentle tone, "A Li, do you want me to serve you dinner?"
At this moment, Shen Li's heart was like a turbulent sea, with waves surging and unable to calm down for a long time. She was so shocked by Nangong Qi's words that she was speechless for a long time.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Nangong Qi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and pretended to feed her. Shen Li was frightened and said hurriedly: "I, I can do it myself, I can do it myself!" As she said that, she quickly snatched the chopsticks and buried her head in the rice.
Nangong Qi looked at her adorable appearance and thought to himself: As long as I can stay with A'li, it is still unknown who will be the main ruler and who will be the concubine in the future.
He had carefully studied the memorial submitted by Shen Li. His father was absolutely right. No matter what Shen Li's future circumstances would be, it would always be more beneficial than harmful for her to continue to stay with him. Maybe she could really become the empress in the future.
Even if she couldn't, the fact that even a god-like figure like Xuanfeng Sanren was willing to follow her showed that Ah Li's future would definitely not be ordinary...
Nangong Qi was silently calculating in his heart that what he should do most now was to stay by Shen Li's side unwaveringly, giving her support and care while she was still young and unknown, and not offend her because of a momentary impulse.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qi's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and he was secretly happy in his heart: That guy named Luo Lingchen is simply a complete idiot.
However, he had just won a little favor from Li'er, so he thought that he had accomplished his mission and could do whatever he wanted, and he even lost his temper at Li'er.
Humph, his actions, don't they just give me the opportunity to take advantage of? In this situation, it's clear that God is blessing me. This rare opportunity is given to me, I must seize it firmly and not miss it.
Nangong Qi bowed slightly, raised his hand and firmly grasped the handle of the teapot. With gentle and graceful movements, he filled a cup of tea for Shen Li. The rising hot steam was like a layer of gauze, gently covering the rim of the cup.
He held the teacup in both hands and handed it to Shen Li, saying gently, "Ali, just enjoy your meal first. When you're done, I'll tell you more about the magician. Don't let these worries spoil your appetite."
Shen Lixian reached out her hand, took the still warm tea, nodded slightly and replied: "Alright, hearing about the evil deeds of those human traffickers is always disgusting. If you listen to it while eating, you might really get indigestion and affect the mood of this meal."
After saying that, she took a sip of tea. The warm tea flowed down her throat, seeming to dispel some of the boredom in her heart.
