483: Entering the palace and becoming rich

(Girls' Literature)

Aunt Liu patted her daughter's hand and comforted her. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked her daughter to go back and rest. She asked the maid to help her change her clothes and wash her face. She lay on the bed, but still couldn't sleep. Her heart was always uneasy. She felt as if something was going to happen, but she couldn't find what was wrong. Finally, she thought she was worrying too much, and fell asleep reluctantly.

The lights in the palace were still on. The emperor and empress were not asleep yet, and the palace maids and eunuchs were naturally there to serve them.

After hearing the news from the Wolf Guards who had come to report earlier that Su Zhi and Xiao Ri had been rescued safely, the Emperor and the Empress both breathed a sigh of relief.

The palace maids and eunuchs also breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the empress smiling and wiping her tears, and the emperor gently comforting her beside her, and then thinking of their previous worries, they all thought that the Shen couple were truly extraordinary. To be able to make the emperor and empress so worried, it was obvious that they were going to be honored!

Shen Zian and Su Zhi brought Xiao Ri in. It was obvious that the people in the Queen's Palace seemed to be more respectful to them than the last time they met. Even Eunuch Shen's smile was a little deeper than before, and his waist was bent. But when Eunuch Shen met Ye Wenru, he only bent slightly and then straightened his waist. He only bent like this in front of the emperor and the queen. What happened?

"Eunuch Shen, I wonder why the Emperor summoned my wife and I to the palace so late at night? Why did he have to bring Xiaori with him? Please tell me the truth, Eunuch Shen."

Su Zhi asked Eunuch Shen quietly. She had known from the attitudes of these palace maids that they were not dangerous and might even be up to good things. But she was still curious.

Eunuch Shen said, "Madam Shen, I cannot tell you this. But after you and your wife go in, you must tell the truth about everything. You cannot deceive the emperor. If you tell a lie and make the emperor angry, all your previous merits will not make up for this sin. But if you tell the truth, nothing will happen, maybe even great things will happen. It all depends on your luck."

Eunuch Shen glanced at Xiao Ri who was standing by the side. He thought that this kid was still young, with a baby face, and looked very cute. So if you look closely, he only resembled the emperor a little. The last few times he was seen with Yue Yue Xing Er, he looked as innocent as a child. Now he was alone with an adult, maybe he had just experienced another danger. His little face was stern, but his eyes were surprisingly fierce, and they looked so much like the emperor's!

When Eunuch Shen thought about his life experience and the pendant, he felt more and more that this was the eldest prince. If he was really the eldest prince, then Xiao Ri's identity would be extraordinary. He might be the emperor in the future! As the benefactors who saved the eldest prince and raised him for many days, the Shen couple would also rise to prominence!

As Eunuch Shen thought about this, he narrowed his eyes as he smiled at Xiaori.

Xiao Ri looked at Eunuch Shen's smiling face and wondered why he smiled so strangely. Although he was not afraid, he still moved closer to Su Zhi.

Su Zhi laughed in her heart, and then she thought that the look in Eunuch Shen's eyes when he looked at Xiao Ri just now was too flattering. The person who announced that they would enter the palace also said that they must bring Xiao Ri with them. Could it be that this incident had a huge relationship with Xiao Ri? She thought that if it was a good thing, it would be fine, but if it was a bad thing, she would protect Xiao Ri no matter what.

Under the guidance of Eunuch Shen, they soon arrived at the main hall, but did not stay there. They went straight to the back hall and finally entered a very spacious room.

The room was decorated very elegantly. The emperor and the queen were sitting inside. When they came in, the queen almost stood up excitedly, her eyes fixed on Xiaori. She had felt that Xiaori looked a bit like the emperor before, but there were many people in the world who looked alike, and she thought her son was dead, so even though she felt very close to Xiaori, she didn't think that he was her son. Now that she saw the bat hanging, she understood why she felt that Xiaori was so familiar, because he was her son!

The Queen now regarded Xiaori as her son. She felt that there was no doubt that this was her poor son whom she thought was dead.

The Queen was so excited that she wanted to hug Xiao Ri, but the more anxious she was, the less strength she had. The Emperor held her hand tightly, signaling her not to get excited.

Shen Zian bowed with his wife and children, then began to ask Xuan about their real purpose of coming to the palace. Although he felt that there might be something really important, he was still a little unhappy that the emperor let his daughter-in-law go to the palace late at night with a big belly. Moreover, Su Zhi had been frightened before, so even if the emperor sent someone to rescue her, it would still be unpleasant.

Su Zhi was supported by Shen Zian, so she could pinch his arm easily. She pinched him lightly, signaling him not to be dissatisfied anymore. She thought she was really lucky. She thought she was marrying an ordinary farmer, but this farmer was not ordinary. If nothing else, he was not afraid of the supreme emperor at all, and he loved her so much. She felt that her husband was really amazing.

The emperor thought that Shen Zian was a really cold person, with a decent attitude, and he had real skills, and his wife was also a very extraordinary woman. No wonder he took such good care of Xiao Ri. If Xiao Ri was really his eldest prince, it would not be a loss of face to have such a pair of foster parents. When the time comes, he will reward the couple greatly, and publicize the fact that they have the holy beast and the spring water in the riverside village, and that Madam Shen had successfully prayed for rain to solve the drought. Then the eldest prince can say that it is God's blessing that he survived the disaster and was raised by such a couple.

The emperor has already thought a lot in his heart. Although he, as the emperor, told himself to stay calm, he has almost determined in his heart that Xiaori is his eldest prince. This is what he hopes for with all his heart. He wants his eldest prince to be alive!

"I summoned you here for something urgent. I just didn't expect you to be kidnapped by criminals. Fortunately, you were not injured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it. You can rest assured. I will send people to protect you while you are in the capital. This kind of thing will never happen again."

Shen Zian and Su Zhi both thanked the emperor for his grace. Although being protected was like being watched, they didn't care for safety. It's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Shen Zian is bound to make mistakes no matter how capable he is. Shen Zian is afraid that he will be in danger again like tonight, while Su Zhi is worried that Shen Zian will be attacked by someone like tonight. So they didn't refuse to be protected.

Xiaori also followed and thanked him solemnly.

The queen looked at Xiaori, greeted Shen Zian and Su Zhi for a few words, then waved to Xiaori and said lovingly, "Xiaori, come over to me, let me see if I'm hurt."

Xiao Ri glanced at Su Zhi and saw that she was smiling, so he walked towards the queen. He also felt very close to this queen.

The queen held Xiaori and touched his little face, thinking how great it would be if he was really her son. She now believed that he was her son. If he was not in the end, she would be very sad. She prayed to God with all her heart not to let her request go in vain.

Su Zhi looked at the Queen's attitude towards Xiao Ri and found that she seemed to be more enthusiastic than the last time she saw Xiao Ri. The Emperor beside her also looked at Xiao Ri with a strange look in his eyes. Was that kind of look? Su Zhi felt that they treated Xiao Ri like their own child. When Xiao Ri stood in front of them, they looked like a family of three. Su Zhi was shocked by her own thoughts. However, her brain worked well and she immediately associated many things. In the end, she came to a shocking conclusion that the Emperor and Queen might think that Xiao Ri was the eldest prince who was rumored to have died!

What made Su Zhi think this way was the emperor and his men's attitude towards Xiaori, and the pendant that Xiaori lost!

Xiaori's bat was lost, and Su Zhi asked Ye Wenru to ask people in the palace to help find it. That happened this morning, and in the evening the emperor anxiously summoned them into the palace and looked at Xiaori like this.

Su Zhi thought of some of the fragmentary memories that Xiao Ri had told her about him. He must have been born in a wealthy family, and the royal palace was also a wealthy family, the largest family in the world!

Su Zhi also remembered that Xiao Ri had fainted when Eunuch Shen went to Hebian Village to deliver the imperial edict, and that Xiao Ri had not slept well at night before entering the palace. Thinking back to it now, his abnormal behavior seemed to foreshadow his identity.

Su Zhi thought that this was not impossible. She had already encountered so many bizarre things. If Xing'er could be the prime minister's son, why couldn't Xiaori be the emperor's son? Even if someone said Yueyue was a fairy from heaven one day, she might believe it. Su Zhi told herself to stay calm, but she still held Shen Zian's hand tightly.

Shen Zian felt that his wife's hands were a little cold and her body seemed a little stiff. Just as he was about to ask her if she was feeling unwell, the emperor spoke.

"Shen Zi'an, Madam Shen, you adopted Xiao Ri. Please tell us in detail what happened at that time."

Did Shen Zian want them to come to the palace just to ask this question? However, looking at their attitude towards Xiao Ri, he was not stupid and realized that something was wrong. Eunuch Shen had told him to tell the truth before, and he did not lie, so he told them how he saved Xiao Ri and the other two from the kidnapper. He spoke briefly and finished in just a few sentences.

Su Zhi added, "Xiao Ri was still very young at the time. Apart from some memories of his wanderings, he only remembers some vague fragments of his childhood. It sounds like he was the young master of a wealthy family."

The emperor nodded, and the queen's eyes turned red again when she heard that Xiaori had wandered for a period of time before he met the Shen couple, and she hugged him tightly in her arms.
