Chapter 344 Shen Li is seriously injured
In the next few days, Shen Li never received the summons from the Emperor of Xiqi, which made her gradually feel uneasy and irritated.
On the contrary, Nangong Qi tried his best to find some novel little things to give her every day, but these things could not relieve Shen Li's inner anxiety at all.
That day, Shen Li paced back and forth in the palace, feeling increasingly depressed.
During the meal, Xuanfeng Sanren still looked indifferent, obeying Shen Li's instructions in everything, and did not express much about the delayed summons.
However, Su Ran was keenly aware of something unusual and couldn't help but ask Shen Li, "Why hasn't the Emperor of Xiqi summoned you yet? We've been stuck in this palace for a long time."
Shen Li frowned and did not answer, but secretly planned in her heart that if Nangong Qi came again today, she would definitely ask Nangong Qi clearly.
Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear. At noon, Nangong Qi walked in happily, holding an exquisite box as usual.
He skillfully stuffed the box into Shen Li's hands, with a flattering smile on his face, and said softly: "Ali, open it quickly and take a look. I found a good thing for you today."
Shen Li was unmoved. She pushed the box back to him and asked anxiously, "It's been several days. When will your father summon me? My father and the others are still waiting at the inn. They must be very worried!"
The gift Nangong Qi brought today was a bracelet left by his mother, a precious item that his mother specifically asked him to pass on to his future daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Shen Li refused to accept the gift, he felt a little anxious and had to coax her: "A Li, open the box first. As long as you look at it, I will tell my father to summon you as soon as possible."
Shen Li had no choice but to open the box. Inside, she saw a magnificent jade bracelet lying quietly. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and exuded a warm and soft luster. It was obvious that it was a rare treasure. Compared with the small items that Nangong Qi had sent a few days ago, it was incomparable.
Shen Li was startled and quickly closed the box, handed it back to Nangong Qi, and said firmly: "I can't accept such a valuable thing!"
Nangong Qi was immediately anxious when he heard this and shouted, "Father said this was specially left by my mother for my daughter-in-law! Who else can accept it except you?"
Shen Li was shocked when she heard this, and thought to herself: When did I say I would marry him? What's going on? Did he misunderstand something?
Thinking of this, she quickly explained, "Aqi, did you misunderstand something? I thought I had already expressed my feelings to you. Besides, I'm only thirteen years old now, and I've never thought about these romantic matters."
When Nangong Qi heard this, the box in his hand creaked as he squeezed it.
He threw the box onto the table, raised his head, his eyes red, filled with anger and unwillingness, and asked loudly: "You don't accept me, is it because you have your eyes on that hypocrite Su Ran!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, shook Shen Li's hands tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Is it true! Is it true! Answer me quickly!"
Shen Li looked at Nangong Qi in astonishment, who was almost out of control. His eyes were like burning flames, filled with anger and jealousy.
She hurriedly and carefully comforted him, "Aqi, I don't have a crush on anyone. Su Ran is just my family's teacher and friend! I..."
Before she could finish her words, Nangong Qi suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Shen Li was horrified and turned her head in panic, and Nangong Qi's lips kissed her cheek.
Nangong Qi was not giving up and was still trying to force a kiss. At this moment, Su Ran, who had come in from outside, noticed it, rushed over, suddenly pulled Nangong Qi away, and then, hit Nangong Qi's face with a heavy punch.
Nangong Qi was caught off guard and was dizzy and dazed by the punch, with blood immediately flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Su Ran pulled Shen Li behind him, looked at Nangong Qi with cold eyes, and said sternly: "I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person! You kept us in this palace just to find an opportunity to do something inappropriate to A Li!"
Nangong Qi looked at Shen Li, who was hiding behind Su Er, with red eyes, pointed at the two of them, and shouted angrily: "You still say that you are just friends with him, but look at him now, how can he regard you as a friend!"
After saying that, he yelled at Su Ran again: "Don't blame me! Who are you anyway?" As he said that, he waved his fist and hit Su Ran again.
Su Ran didn't dodge, but just pushed Shen Li aside gently, and then fought back against Nangong Qi's fist.
The two men started wrestling with each other in an instant. This fight was completely different from the last one. They both used all their skills, and each move was fierce and merciless.
Shen Li watched the two men fighting anxiously, shouting loudly: "Help! Quickly, help!"
However, no one around responded at this time. Perhaps Nangong Qi had already sent everyone away.
Seeing that the two were fighting more and more fiercely, Shen Li became anxious and feared that something bad would happen between them, so she took the risk and rushed forward, trying to stand between them.
Nangong Qi and Su Ran saw Shen Li rushing over at the same time and shouted in unison: "Ali/Li'er, get out of the way!"
But Shen Li stubbornly refused to move aside and still stood firmly between the two of them.
Nangong Qi was already blinded by anger at this time. He seized an opportunity and swung his fist towards Su Ran fiercely.
Shen Li was horrified and quickly reached out to stop them. Seeing that she couldn't stop them, she quickly stood between the two of them to prevent something from happening.
Nangong Qi watched Shen Li standing in front of him, but at this time he could no longer control the strength of his fist and it hit Shen Li's back of the head.
Shen Li felt her head spinning, her vision went dark, and she passed out.
Su Ran's eyes were bloodshot, and he quickly caught Shen Li's limp body, shook her hard, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Li'er! Li'er! Wake up! Please don't scare me!" However, the person in his arms did not move, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Nangong Qi was completely stunned at this moment. He stood there blankly, staring at his fist in disbelief, with only one thought echoing wildly in his mind: I beat A Li to death! I beat A Li to death!
Su Ran carefully placed Shen Li on the bed. Turning to see Chu Qiu and the eunuch running in after hearing the noise, he shouted in a trembling voice, "Go and call the imperial physician! Go!"
His hands were trembling as he gently wiped the blood from the corner of Shen Li's mouth. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes. He murmured, "Li'er, I'm so useless! I put you in such a dangerous situation again. I deserve to die!" As he spoke, he waved his hands vigorously and slapped himself several times.
