Chapter 2032 She is not one of the four beauties
Shi Li looked at Zheng Mei without surprise.
Apart from a poor little kid like the original owner who was not loved by his parents, who would be willing to leave his hometown and live in a completely unfamiliar place?
However, right now, the Yue Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom are at war, so there is really no way to arrange to send Zheng Mei back. If something goes wrong on the way, it will be too late to regret.
Shi Li told Zheng Mei this truthfully. Zheng Mei was a little disappointed, but still nodded.
"Then I'll wait a little longer."
But once people have a thought, they will always think about it in their heart, and the food that used to be delicious will no longer taste good to them.
Zheng Mei is always absent-minded.
Shi Li had no time to take care of her because news came from the front line that Chu Ge suddenly fainted on the battlefield.
This news was not delivered to Shi Li alone in a letter, but was somehow leaked from the front line, and soon spread like wildfire, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew about it.
For a time, people panic.
Although Shi Li was anxious, she did not panic, nor did she ask anyone about the situation. She just waited anxiously for the letter that would be delivered to her in three to five days.
No matter what others said, she only believed the letters sent back by Chu Ge.
But other people in the palace were not as resolute as she was, and the palace servants looked visibly more depressed.
Some of them had been in the palace for a long time, and when they recalled the memory of the previous king's defeat, they couldn't help but feel worried and frightened.
Since he had been very negligent towards Shi Li, the situation on Zheng Mei's side naturally became even worse.
She was already homesick, and now seeing her treatment getting worse and worse, she felt even more upset. Several times she couldn't put her chopsticks down and sighed one after another.
Seeing this, the palace maid who had been with her for a long time couldn't help but whisper to her: "Miss, since you miss your hometown so much, why don't you go to another palace to meet other girls from Wu Country, which will provide some comfort. Madam Li has been favored, but she may not understand your loneliness."
Zheng Mei's eyes lit up, and she looked at the palace maid in surprise, "You are right, there are other sisters in other palaces, it would be good for me to go and talk to them in my hometown dialect... But Ah Li will definitely not let me go..."
"Young lady, you have treated me very well. I have remembered it all. I can help you this time. Come with me later and I will take you out."
The palace maid bowed and looked wholeheartedly devoted to Zheng Mei, which moved her so much that she immediately took off the ring on her hand and gave it to the palace maid.
The palace maid took the ring with peace of mind.
After dinner, Zheng Mei tiptoed along with the palace maids and slipped out through a corner door behind the side hall. She changed into the maid's clothes that the palace maids had prepared for her in advance, pretending to be an inconspicuous maid, and followed the people who were leaving the palace out with her head down.
Not far outside the palace gate, there was a carriage parked.
As long as she left the palace and got on the carriage, the coachman would take her directly to another palace, wait for her to finish speaking there, and then quietly send her back.
This is what the palace maid beside Zheng Mei said to her.
A row of maids who were about to be released from the palace lined up, lowered their heads and walked forward quietly. When they arrived at the palace, their identities were checked one by one as usual.
When it was Zheng Mei's turn, she suddenly raised her head.
"Tonight is a godsend!"
In the main tent of the coalition forces of Xuan and Wu, Fang Li was in high spirits and facing the soldiers below.
He had seen Chu Ge fainting in front of the battle line with his own eyes. After a few days of fermentation, the news had already spread widely between the two armies.
For them, it boosts morale.
But for the Moon Kingdom, it only made people feel uneasy and unable to concentrate on fighting the enemy.
The weather was overcast tonight, and the only moonlight was blocked by the thick clouds, which was the best time for a surprise attack. Fang Li was very ambitious and wanted to rush into the enemy camp tonight and capture Chu Ge.
In this way, he will achieve unprecedented merit.
But someone below was not reassured and frowned, "Shouldn't the commander report this recklessly to the king?"
Fang Li was very impatient.
Although he was the one who insisted on welcoming back the Witch King, he felt that the Witch King was useless now and was just a puppet sitting in the back.
But despite his status, there are still people who stubbornly support him. Fang Li didn't want to be called a traitor, so he could only swallow his anger and answer, "Of course, I will inform the king in advance."
That being said, there were many spies in the military camp and someone might try to get hold of him at any time, so he could only send someone on a fast horse to deliver a message to the Witch King in the rear.
Fortunately, the Witch King did not reject his resolution.
So at midnight, Fang Li led his elite men and rushed into the unprepared Moon Kingdom military camp.
"Catching the Moon King will be a great achievement!"
