Chapter 2633 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
The monk being questioned had a flickering look in his eyes. "In... another Zen temple."
"Got it. Thank you, Master."
Shi Li had actually already gotten the answer she wanted, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The monk breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left this place of trouble.
Shi Li was accompanied by only Liu Shui and his two younger brothers, and two other guards were left outside the temple.
Glancing at Zhong Shanlang who was looking earnestly, Shi Li said with a forced smile: "How could such a thing happen..."
She felt that her acting skills were quite good, and her voice just conveyed the right amount of weakness, pity and helplessness.
"Don't worry, Miss Shi. I will protect you." Zhong Shanlang had no doubts and expressed his loyalty again.
"Thank you, Lord Zhong." Shi Li raised her head cooperatively and looked at him with gratitude.
The Zen room was very simple, with no food or water.
No one cared about much at the moment, and they just listened nervously to any movement outside, fearing that some bad guys would break in.
Zhong Shanlang stood beside Shi Li, looking reliable and strong.
While he wasn't paying attention, Shi Li quietly wrote a few words on Liu Shui's palm. Liu Shui was a little surprised, but still nodded silently.
"Miss, I will accompany you to change clothes." Liu Shui deliberately lowered his voice, but in this small Zen room, no matter how low the voice was, it could not escape the ears of everyone.
Zhong Shanlang glanced at Shi Li subconsciously, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and only said kindly: "Be careful."
"Yes, thank you, Master Zhong."
Shi Li smiled softly with her lips curved, like a simple girl who had just fallen in love.
Right under Zhong Shanlang's nose, the flowing water pushed Shi Li out of the Zen room.
It was quiet outside. There were trees outside the yard and no noisy sound could be heard.
Shi Li personally asked the two guards, "Did you see anyone suspicious nearby?"
The two guards looked at each other and said "no".
From the moment the monk hesitated just now, Shi Li doubted the authenticity of the so-called thieves breaking into the temple.
In any case, if an accident really happened, the Third Prince's wife and she should be arranged in the same place, rather than separately.
Moreover, in the original owner's memory, she did not remember that there were other quiet meditation rooms in the temple.
Thinking about Zhong Shanlang who appeared right after, Shi Li suspected that the whole thing was directed at him.
But she didn't have solid evidence and couldn't take the risk.
After thinking for a while, Shi Li said to one of the guards, "Go to the back mountain. There should be a hidden cave there. If no one notices you in the cave, come back and tell me."
No matter what the person behind the scenes wants to do, Shi Li wants to hide herself first and then think of other ways.
After staying outside for a while, Shi Li returned to the meditation room.
The two brothers went out for the first time and experienced such a thing. They were tired and scared. Shi Nian asked Shi Jiao to rest in the corner for a while, and he insisted on staying with Shi Li.
He said to Shi Li in a low but firm voice: "Sister, I can protect you too."
Shi Li was very relieved that her efforts for the two children were not in vain.
The guard she had sent to investigate the situation in the back mountain soon returned and walked in as agreed. "Miss, it's almost noon. I want to go out and check the situation?"
After hearing what he said, Shi Li's eyes lit up slightly, and she knew that hiding in the back mountain was feasible.
But before he could say anything, Zhong Shanlang next to him objected: "No! If you go out and expose your whereabouts, Miss Shi will be in danger!"
Every word he said seemed to be for Shi Li's sake, but Shi Li still saw a hint of calculation in the depths of his eyes.
"Lord Zhong is right. I can't take the risk." Shi Li smiled at Zhong Shanlang again, as innocent and helpless as a dodder.
In fact, Zhong Shanlang was also very anxious at this moment.
He didn't know why the people arranged by the third prince hadn't shown up yet. The night was long and dreams were many. He just wanted to finish this drama as soon as possible to avoid any more accidents.
As he was thinking this, he didn't notice that the maid beside Shi Li quietly walked up behind him. Before he could react, she raised the wooden stick hidden behind her and hit him hard on the head.
Shi Nian was shocked when he saw Zhong Shanlang suddenly fall to the ground and faint.
"Sister...sister?"
"Come on, I'll explain it to you later."
Shi Li did not dare to waste time, so he led a group of people out of the Zen temple without stopping and hid in a secluded cave in the back mountain.
