"Did you save me?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in light blue clothes and exuding a cold aura, Li Mufeng's eyes showed surprise.
The Prime Minister's eldest daughter's great achievements had long been known throughout the capital. However, she was uneducated and incompetent, yet she was infatuated with a cowherd and was willing to die for him.
This time, due to underestimating his enemy, he was poisoned. Han Bingmo offered to marry his own daughter to him, claiming it was to bring him good luck, but in reality, he had planted spies in his mansion to watch him die and, at the crucial moment, help them so that he would die without a burial place.
To put it bluntly, Han Ziwei was just a pawn, used to pave the way for the illegitimate daughter Han Ruyi and the second prince Li Muchen.
I've never heard of her having medical skills. Could my information be wrong? Or is she hiding it too well? Also, was the fall just now a coincidence, or does she know martial arts?
Feeling uncomfortable under Li Jingfeng's gaze, Xue Ziwei waved her hand.
"I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."
Then he looked at the young master Li Jingchen, who was holding Li Mufeng's hand.
"Young Master, shouldn't you keep your word? You pretended to be dead just now, almost killing me. Shouldn't we settle this score?"
“A stingy woman, so calculating, is indeed unsuitable to be the king’s woman.”
Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose" say this, the little dumpling immediately fell down, puffed out her cheeks, and looked at him with disdain.
"What? Is your dignity more important than your father's life? Or is this the kind of upbringing the Prince Xuan's mansion has? Clearly you've done something wrong, but you still refuse to admit it."
"Blood Purple Rose" is vengeful and will not tolerate even the slightest offense. Although the child standing in front of her is only three years old, he cannot be allowed to bully her, "Blood Purple Rose".
"Chen'er, apologize."
Li Mufeng's voice brooked no refusal, and Zhou Fengyun beside him grew anxious.
"Your Highness, the young prince is of noble birth. How can you allow him to apologize to a lowly woman? What about the reputation of the Xuan Prince's Mansion? And what about Your Highness's own reputation?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud "slap" was heard as "Blood Purple Rose" slapped her hard across the face.
"I am speaking with the Prince and the young master. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interrupt?"
"You keep talking about the Prince's face, but I am the Prince's lawfully wedded wife. You call me a 'bitch' this and a 'bitch' that; aren't you just trampling on the Prince's dignity?"
"Blood Purple Rose" disliked Zhou Fengyun very much. According to the book, Zhou Fengyun was just a commoner woman, but because she was the aunt of the young prince, she insisted on living in the Xuan Prince's mansion and even regarded herself as half a master of the mansion.
Xiao wanted to be Li Mufeng's woman, but after Li Mufeng died from poisoning, she climbed up to Prince Lin, Li Muchen, and took everything Li Mufeng had for herself. Once, when she was having sex with Li Muchen, they were caught by the young prince Li Muchen, who accused her of being promiscuous. Under Li Jingchen's instigation, she disregarded family ties and strangled him to death. "Xue Ziwei" wished she could kill this vicious woman.
"How dare you hit me?"
Zhou Fengyun covered her face, then lunged at Longxuan Wang Li Mufeng.
"Your Highness, you must do me justice! Waaah... All these years, I've raised Chen'er. I've done my part, if not meritorious, then I've certainly worked hard. You can't let this vile woman... no, the Princess Consort, bully me like this, waaah..."
The slap from "Blood Purple Rose" really worked; Zhou Fengyun was able to change the title from "bastard" to "princess."
"If you feel that serving the young prince is a disservice, I can have someone else serve you. You will no longer need to live in the palace."
Upon hearing Zhou Fengyun's complaint, Longxuan Wang's eyes sharpened.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. The young prince is my sister's child, and it's only right that I take care of him. I just... just..."
Just as Zhou Fengyun was pondering her words about staying, she saw Li Mufeng wave his hand.
"Alright, all of you may leave! I am tired."
Having just woken up, Li Mufeng was indeed quite tired. In addition, he had many things to ask Han Ziwei and was not in the mood to watch Zhou Fengyun's performance. If it weren't for the fact that she was his son's aunt, he would have chased her away long ago.
"Madam Zhou, please..."
Wang Feng waved his hand, and Zhou Fengyun was about to get up when she heard "Blood Purple Rose" speak coldly.
"Wait a minute. When I saved the prince just now, I remember someone saying that if I could save the prince, she would walk backwards. Shouldn't Madam Zhou keep her promise?"
"you……"
Zhou Fengyun angrily pointed at "Blood Purple Rose," then turned to Li Mufeng and began to speak coquettishly.
"Your Highness, look at her..."
"Wang Feng, please help Madam Zhou. I don't want anyone to say that my Xuanwang Mansion is untrustworthy."
Li Mufeng spoke up, and Wang Feng unceremoniously lifted Zhou Fengyun up with one hand.
"Ah... you vile woman, I, Zhou Fengyun, will avenge this humiliation one day."
Zhou Fengyun shouted, but because Wang Feng was holding her feet up above, she had no choice but to crawl outwards using her hands to support herself.
"Look, Madam Zhou is walking backwards. It seems that the Princess really saved the Prince's life."
"Madam Zhou has always been arrogant and disdainful of others, but now someone is finally teaching her a lesson."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let Madam Zhou hear you, she's the young master's aunt."
...
The servants outside the door were whispering amongst themselves, but "Blood Purple Rose's" sharp eyes swept over the young prince.
"You little rascal, it's your turn."
The young prince glanced at his father, bit his small lips tightly, and whispered something in a barely audible voice.
"sorry."
"I didn't hear you clearly, young master, please speak louder."
"Blood Purple Rose" looked down at the little one beneath her and suddenly realized that teasing a child was quite fun.
In his previous life, he hadn't done anything besides killing people. Later, he got bored and opened the largest department store in Xia Kingdom, which had everything. Unexpectedly, he was transported to this place because of a melodramatic novel.
Thinking of department stores, and looking at the little one in front of me, the image of a lollipop came to mind, and I couldn't help but mutter to myself,
"If he had a lollipop right now, would he be less awkward? In modern times, kids love lollipops, I wonder if kids in ancient times did..."
As "Blood Purple Rose" was thinking, a lollipop actually appeared in her hand.
"No way! The department store came with me from another time?"
To verify her guess, "Blood Purple Rose" whispered.
"Another lollipop, please."
Sure enough, he had two lollipops in his hand.
Overjoyed, "Blood Purple Crape Myrtle" quickly peeled off a piece and put it in her mouth.
"How wonderful! If I could open a department store in ancient times, wouldn't I make a fortune? Haha..."
Overcome with excitement, "Blood Purple Rose" couldn't help but laugh out loud. Li Mufeng frowned, looking at "Blood Purple Rose" strangely, feeling that her behavior was extremely bizarre.
The little dumpling's bright eyes were fixed on the lollipop in "Blood Rose's" mouth, as it stroked its fingers and tilted its head.
"Um... what did you eat? It looks delicious."
"Blood Purple Rose" took the lollipop out of her mouth, licked it, and looked satisfied.
"This is a lollipop, sweet and delicious. I guarantee you'll never forget it after just one bite. If you sincerely apologize to me, I'll give you one."
"Blood Purple Rose" waved the lollipop in front of the young master Li Jingchen. The sweet, sticky aroma immediately filled his nostrils. Li Jingchen licked his small lips, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Mufeng cough and immediately shook his head.
"My father said we shouldn't eat food given by strangers."
"I won't harm you. This stuff is non-toxic. Besides, I'm not stupid. I'd rather lose my head than poison you in front of your father."
You did something wrong, shouldn't you apologize? If your father hadn't faked his death, he wouldn't have been on the verge of death. If you keep refusing to admit your mistake, I won't come to your father's rescue next time he's in trouble.
"Blood Purple Rose" has become a hit; this child is truly stubborn.
"How dare you, Han Ziwei, threaten my son and curse me?"
"Like father, like son," Li Mufeng shouted sternly upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" words.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, I apologize to you."
Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, the young master Li Jingchen spoke up, then turned to Li Mufeng.
"Father, please don't blame this sister. It was my fault. I shouldn't have pretended to be dead and made you worry."
Upon hearing the word "sister," "Blood Purple Rose" was satisfied and handed him a lollipop.
"Here, this is for you. Call me 'sister' one more time."
Looking at the lollipop handed to him, Li Jingchen licked his lips, about to call out, when he heard Li Mufeng shout.
"She is your mother, don't call her by the wrong name."
