Chapter 2632 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
There was an oil lamp lit in the room, but it was still dim.
Shi Li sent his two younger brothers back to their rooms to rest, but he himself sat in front of the window, staring at the rain outside that was getting heavier and heavier.
"Don't worry, miss. I have already told the guards outside to keep a good watch tonight." Liushui thought Shi Li was afraid that what happened last night would happen again, so he spoke to reassure her.
Shi Li looked back at her and nodded silently.
What she was worried about was not the people last night, but the rain.
Although the people at the temple said that nothing would happen, the two consecutive days of rain still made her feel worried about the place.
If something happens, this place will be like an isolated island with no connection with the outside world. It is too dangerous.
At the same time, Zhong Shanlang was also watching the heavy rain in the house, thinking about his own little thoughts. But her door was suddenly pushed open, and a man took advantage of the heavy rain and walked into his house silently.
Zhong Shanlang looked back and his eyes widened immediately, "Your Highness?"
The person who came was actually the third prince.
No one knew that Zhong Shanlang had already joined the Third Prince's army for his future. The two had always kept in touch secretly. This time, the Third Prince used the Third Prince's wife to pray for the child and secretly followed him disguised as a guard, just to meet Zhong Shanlang in person.
Zhong Shanlang knelt before the Third Prince and said, "I didn't know Your Highness was here, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
"You don't have to do this between you two." The Third Prince waved his hand, "But this time, it's a good opportunity for you to get close to Prime Minister Shi. Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Shi is a big tree and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. If you marry his daughter, there will be countless benefits in the future.
It was just because Shi Li was a disabled person in a wheelchair, and the Third Prince didn't want to wrong himself, so he thought of Zhong Shanlang. On this point, the two of them coincided.
"I also know that marrying a disabled person is unfair to you. But you can endure it for now. There will definitely be a day when you can hold your head high and be proud of yourself in the future."
The Third Prince painted a big picture for the future, staring at Zhong Shanlang with his dark eyes, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Zhong Shanlang's heart warmed and he nodded, then frowned in embarrassment, "But the girl of the Shi family is not easy to approach."
The Third Prince sneered upon hearing this, "I guess she is still unwilling to marry someone else, but don't worry, isn't there a ready-made opportunity right now?"
"It's raining so hard, no one cares about this place..."
In the dark night, a conspiracy is quietly brewing.
Shi Li was dozing off until midnight, when she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise that shook the earth. Liu Shui went out to inquire, and when he came back his face was pale, revealing his inner uneasiness.
"Miss, the heavy rain has destroyed the road down the mountain. Now we can't go down the mountain for the time being, and the people down the mountain can't come up either."
Liushui did not hide the current situation, but told it all in detail.
Shi Li's face changed, and her worries came true.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Shi Li felt his head hurt even more when he thought of these people in the temple.
"I understand. Tell the guards to be on high alert. I'm here, and the Third Prince's wife is here too. The capital will definitely send someone over. It will only delay them for a few days."
But no one knew that the roads leading up and down the mountain were not collapsed by heavy rain, but were blown down by humans using the crudest gunpowder in order to cut off this place from the outside world.
It was still raining outside and there were still several hours before dawn, but Shi Li couldn't fall asleep. She simply got up and walked to the table, continuing to copy Buddhist scriptures to calm her mind.
The sound of rain outside made me feel annoyed. I couldn't copy the Buddhist scriptures easily and wasted a lot of paper.
Liu Shui accompanied her silently, and could not help but persuade her: "Miss, please go to sleep for a while. This is too bad for your eyes."
Outside the pitch-black rain curtain, an oil lamp emitted only a soft glow.
Shi Li sighed, returned to the couch, closed her eyes and waited until dawn.
The rain had just stopped, but the dark clouds were still there, completely blocking the sky, and there was no sign of dawn.
Shi Li frowned and looked outside. Liu Shui went out to prepare breakfast for her. As she reached the door, she ran into a panic-stricken monk.
"Miss Shi, something bad has happened. A group of bad guys broke in from somewhere. You are of noble status, so please get out of here quickly!" The monk's face was pale and he was trembling.
Liu Shui took a big step back and returned to Shi Li. "Miss, what should we do?"
"Miss Shi, please follow me. There is a secluded place in the back. The abbot asked all donors to leave there temporarily." The monk urged anxiously.
Shi Li looked at him quietly, then raised his head and ordered Liu Shui to call Shi Nian and Shi Jiao over, and then go to a secluded place to take shelter under the guidance of the monk.
The monk brought them to an abandoned and secluded Zen temple, which was covered in dust and had cobwebs in every corner.
Shi Li looked around and didn't see anyone else. Just as she entered, she saw Zhong Shanlang hurried over.
"Ms. Shi, I'm worried about your safety, so I rushed here specially." Zhong Shanlang looked worried.
Shi Li ignored him and looked at the monk who brought her here, "Where are the Third Prince's wife and others now?"
