After he finished speaking, Emperor Jian'an's face darkened and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Are you questioning me? Do you think I am biased and cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery?"

Hearing this chilly tone, Su Lili couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The thing emperors of all dynasties feared most was being coerced, and Meng Yiyi was so brave that she risked her life to challenge his authority!

Meng Yiyi was still kneeling facing the wind, her back straight, tears still glistening in her pretty big eyes.

In the cradle, Su Lili sighed again and shook her head helplessly.

[Father, please forgive her. After all, she was so eager to save me that she neglected etiquette and chose the wrong method...]

[If I were her, I would also risk my life to save my father. I care more about my father who gave birth to me and raised me than my own life! ]

[Unfortunately, I am just a little baby, I can’t do anything to help, I can only watch Meng Yiyi die, wuwu, it’s so painful…]

Su Lili began to sob, and the more she cried, the sadder she became. Emperor Jian'an felt sorry for his daughter, so he immediately asked Wang Yun to hold her in his arms to comfort her.

...

...

The anger in my heart also dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a deep sense of relief.

Meng Yiyi is just too concerned. Meng Kai is so lucky to have such a filial and kind daughter.

Knowing the injustice, it is difficult for him to do anything. House arrest is just a temporary solution, but he can't tell anyone!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Meng Yiyi knelt on the ground, her heart full of doubts.

Her stepmother Sun asked her to say this in order to ask His Majesty to show leniency. Why does His Majesty seem a little angry?

Did I say something wrong? Is Your Majesty determined to believe the slander? No, absolutely not!

Meng Yiyi was about to speak, but she saw the baby in Emperor Jian'an's arms waving at her.

I could only swallow the words that were on the tip of my tongue, my heart pounding in my chest.

[Father, it's awkward to stand here like this. Why not let her meet my mother?]

[Mother is kindhearted and would be willing to share Father's worries and help resolve Miss Meng's worries! ]

Yes, it is indeed very embarrassing now. He is not good at coaxing people at all.

Emperor Jian'an nodded and gave Wang Yun a look.

Understanding what he meant, Wang Yun immediately walked down the stairs and carefully helped Meng Yiyi up.

"Ahem, I'm busy right now. I have many political affairs to deal with. Miss Meng, why don't you go and chat with Concubine Xian. She has a lot to say to you."

"You, take her with you, and take the little princess with you as well."

Wang Yun immediately bowed and said, "I obey your order."

Then he led the confused Meng Yiyi towards the Weirui Palace.

Walking on the palace road, Meng Yiyi would occasionally glance at Su Lili in Wang Yun's arms. Her big round eyes and fair and tender little face made her look particularly lovable.

Wow, what a beautiful little girl, she is even prettier than the dolls in New Year pictures!

I tried hard to resist the urge to pinch it, and soon, a luxurious and spacious palace appeared in front of me. On the plaque, three large characters "Wei Rui Palace" were written in graceful strokes.

"Miss Meng, this is the Weirui Palace. When you meet the virtuous concubine, you must remember to be careful with your words and actions."

The virtuous concubine was sitting in the yard resting when she suddenly heard the familiar baby voice again.

[Mother, mother, Miss Meng and I are going home together! ]

The little princess has returned to the palace? Concubine Xian woke up slowly and immediately hugged Su Lili in her arms and kissed her again and again.

"This girl is..."

"My name is Meng Yiyi, and I am the eldest daughter of the current Minister of Personnel. I am here because my father has been confined to his house."

Then, he confessed everything he knew, saying that it was impossible for his father to commit abuse of power or engage in corruption, and that it was truly an injustice.

[Mother, Mother, in fact, Minister Meng is indeed innocent. It was all a trap set up by someone who falsely accused him. Unfortunately, Father is in a difficult situation now because there is no evidence that the person behind the scenes did something bad! ]

[This sister is very pitiful. It would be great if mother could comfort her. Once the truth is revealed, it can be considered that the Li family and the Meng family have formed a good relationship! ]

By now, Concubine Xian finally understood what had happened. She stepped forward and gently held Meng Yiyi's hand.

"So that's how it is. Don't worry, Miss Meng. Your Majesty is wise and powerful and can see through everything. As long as the Minister acts uprightly, it will be just a matter of time before you are cleared of your grievances."

The two of them sat in the yard, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of wintersweet flowers.

Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, Meng Yiyi's mood couldn't help but calm down a lot.

"By the way, does your father have any close and greedy subordinates? You can be on guard against any thief, but the hardest thing to guard against is a thief within your family."

"I don't know. I just know that Daddy has a soft personality and is the most likely to trust others..."

…

The sunlight was dim, and Su Lili didn't want to listen to the gossip anymore after a while. She held the milk and bird's nest soup and drank it leisurely.

In the sky, flocks of sparrows flew by, and the wintersweet flowers in the yard smelled so sweet. I took a sniff and began to feel sleepy again.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Su Lili woke up. She saw Concubine Xian and Meng Yiyi sitting together intimately, holding hands.

The virtuous concubine even tied her hair herself and used her most precious jewelry.

"Haha, Miss Meng actually suits you well with a bun. This hairpin suits you very well, so why not give it to you?"

"Thank you, my virtuous concubine. My mother died young, and my stepmother is hard to get close to. You are the best woman to me, please accept my humble greetings!"

Just as Meng Yiyi was about to kneel down, Concubine Xian held her back and said jokingly, "Hey, we're all family, why are you being so distant? From now on, you're my goddaughter!"

[Okay, okay, I have a sisters-in-law again, sisters-in-law, give me a hug! ]

In the cradle, Su Lili also started to clamor to join in the fun. Meng Yiyi's heart softened and she had that idea again.

"My queen, can I hug the little princess? She looks so cute and adorable!"

"Of course, from now on, she is your godsister!"

Meng Yiyi stepped forward and carefully held Su Lili in her arms. She was soft and small, with a scent of milk.

The touch was so good that she didn't want to let go once she held her. Su Lili suddenly grabbed Meng Yiyi's collar and gave her a sweet kiss.

【mua, kiss my sister! 】

Just when Meng Yiyi was feeling flattered, she suddenly heard an unfamiliar baby voice. She looked around and there were no babies around.

[Sister, who are you looking for? There's no one else around! ]

The baby voice sounded again. This time, Meng Yiyi immediately lowered her head to look at Su Lili in her arms, feeling delighted.

Could it be that what he heard was actually the little princess's inner voice? Miracle, this is simply a miracle!

After taking a look at the sky, Meng Yiyi put Su Lili down and bowed respectfully to Concubine Xian.

"It's getting late, and I should go home. Thank you for your kindness and your enlightenment."

After bowing deeply once more, Meng Yiyi turned around and strode away, thinking about what Concubine Xian had just said in her heart.

Really, I never expected it...
