Chapter 393 Princess's Skirt 39
Shen Xizhou stood out from behind the tree, and Mo Yun stood in front of him with a sharpened wooden stick in his hand.
The Mo Yun in front of him was no longer dressed in black, and he even wanted to cover his face with a cloth. He was now wearing a coarse cloth jacket that ordinary farm men wore. Because he had to work, his sleeves were lifted high, revealing his tight muscle lines.
Shen Xizhou has a strong sense of crisis.
Gu Li blinked and looked at the bearded man.
How could Shen Xizhou be here? Has she been found?
But Gu Li was not afraid.
"Feixue, let's go!"
Feixue took Gu Li's shoes and put them on her, then took the fish from Gu Li's hand.
"Mo Yun, let's go. Hei Pi is waiting for you to go back and deal with him!" Seeing that the two men were in a stalemate, Gu Li called Mo Yun away and ignored Shen Xizhou.
The courtyard where Gu Li lived was not very big, just two courtyards and three rooms. In order not to be disturbed and to avoid being discovered by others, Gu Li bought this courtyard after coming here.
But no one was bought.
So there were only three of them living here.
It’s just that none of the three of them can cook very well.
Eating has always been their biggest problem.
Yu asked Mo Yun to clean up, and Gu Li returned to her room and never came out again.
Shen Xizhou did not leave. He found the courtyard where the princess lived. He leaned on the outer wall closest to her house and thought about something.
Dinner was millet porridge cooked by Feixue, served with fermented bean curd and pickled vegetables that Caiyi had sent a few days ago, and the blackened fish roasted by Moyun.
Gu Li scooped millet porridge into her mouth while thinking about finding a cook who could cook for her. Since Cai Yi left, the quality of her food has plummeted.
As I was thinking about it, I smelled the intermittent aroma of fish soup.
She tasted the rice porridge in the spoon and found that it didn't have any fish flavor. It couldn't be burnt fish.
Just here, there was a knock on the door.
Mo Yun went to open the door.
Shen Xizhou stood in front of the gate, holding a large soup bowl in his hand.
"Fish stuffed with milk is made from cow's milk. The princess likes to drink this. Bring it to the princess to try!"
Mo Yun:-----
Gu Li looked at the large bowl of fish soup on the table and was sure that this was the fragrance she had just smelled.
The soup is milky white in color and has a mellow flavor. When stewed with plump carp, it is indeed a top-notch dish.
Gu Li picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and tasted it. It was really good. She also invited Feixue and Moyun to eat together.
These days, Gu Li finally persuaded these two stubborn people to eat at the same table with her.
Otherwise, three people would have to eat at three different places.
Gu Li was sitting at the table in the main room, Feixue was sitting on a small stool in the kitchen, and Mo Yun liked to squat on a tree and eat dry food.
------
"What snacks are there today?" Feixue asked quietly outside the house as Mo Yun walked in with a lunch box.
"Black-bone chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised crucian carp, lotus root and pork ribs soup."
"It's such a rich meal. I just had sesame oil beef bone marrow, crab roe dumplings and donkey meat hot pot yesterday. If I keep eating like this, I'm going to die of obesity."
"But I see that the princess loves to eat-----"
Gu Li hid behind the window and watched the two people talking as they walked towards the main hall where they were dining.
Touching the extra flesh around her waist, Gu Li felt that Shen Xizhou was really bad.
Seeing that he couldn't convince her directly, he had to bombard her with such sugar-coated bullets.
But is she someone who can compromise so easily?
I still eat delicious food but I still don’t want to talk to people.
Gu Li, who had eaten too much by mistake, leaned back in a chair in discomfort to empty her mind. She saw Mo Yun, who was cleaning the dishes, accidentally touched Fei Xue's hand. Fei Xue blushed and glared at Mo Yun, then quickly picked up the two bowls and ran to the kitchen.
There was no expression on Mo Yun's face, but he cleaned up faster. He put the remaining dishes and chopsticks into the lunch box, picked it up and went to the kitchen.
Gu Li was left alone.
Gu Li blinked. She wasn’t blind.
When did these two people fall in love with each other right under her nose?
In order not to disturb the sparks that the two had finally created, Gu Li went out for a walk, leaving the large yard to Feixue and the others.
"Princess!" Shen Xizhou followed without any doubt.
During the past month, Shen Xizhou was like a gecko on the wall of Gu Li's courtyard, following her closely, but he didn't bother her either.
He just stayed around her not too far away, allowing Gu Li to slowly get used to his presence.
Seeing that Gu Li ignored him, Shen Xizhou didn't get angry. As long as he could stay where she was and see her a few times a day, he was willing to live like this forever.
"Don't call me princess, there is no princess here."
"Late morning!"
Gu Li was stunned. She almost forgot this name. It seemed that few people would call her by her name. When she was in the capital, those close to her called her Thirteenth according to her rank, and the servants called her Princess. People who were not familiar with her called her by her title.
Only Shen Qingzhou in his previous life, before she told him the nickname "Gu Li'er", he always liked to shout "Wan Chao, Wan Chao" in the boudoir.
"You should go back to the capital. This is not the place for you." Gu Li no longer had the hatred she once had for him. He was now the right-hand man of the twelfth brother and had made contributions to the stability of the country.
But when it comes to forgiveness, Gu Li seems unable to do it.
It will be difficult for them to go back to the way they were before.
"I'm not going back. I'll be wherever you are."
Gu Li laughed in anger. It seemed that her personal maids had also said this. "Don't you care about the Shen family? Now that you have the merit of following the dragon, it is time to lead your Shen family back to the capital. Why waste time here with me?"
"I have spent my last life and the first half of this life repaying the Shen family for raising me. The rise of the Shen family has nothing to do with me from now on. I am now just Shen Xizhou. Xizhou that belongs to Li Wanchao."
"I can't afford Shen Xizhou who would take my life."
Gu Li spoke casually, but when she turned around and wanted to go back, Shen Xizhou blocked her way. She looked up at him in confusion.
"What---"
Before he could finish his words, a dagger was stuffed into his hand.
Shen Xizhou took Gu Li's hand and clenched the dagger, unsheathed it and pointed it at his heart, "I owe you a life, and now I will give it back to you."
Gu Li was shocked and tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Xizhou was too strong and she couldn't move him at all.
"You let go!"
Shen Xizhou never relaxed his grip, and looked into Gu Li's eyes affectionately, "The Shen family gave birth to me and raised me. I couldn't give them up at the beginning, but I hurt you innocently. In fact, I regretted it at that time, but I couldn't bear to let you go. Privately, I thought it would be good to die with you, Your Highness."
Raising his hand to touch Gu Li's cheek, Shen Xizhou's eyes were wet, "But Your Highness, if I exchange my life for yours, can you forgive me?"
Shen Xizhou looked at Gu Li pitifully, eagerly waiting for an answer.
Just when Gu Li wanted to curse him as a bastard, Shen Xizhou seemed to be afraid of hearing a bad answer. He exerted force with his hand, and the dagger that could cut through iron like mud pierced into his chest with a "swish".
