Li Shengyi felt like he had traveled through time and space in a book and had to learn so many rules.
She even forgot her heroic achievements in debating with the scholars.
He stared blankly at Su Jinrou's flat belly.
After she withdrew her gaze and raised her eyes to meet Su Jinrou's smiling eyes.
Not only Su Jinrou who was sitting on the chaise longue, but even Shen Wangchen who was outside the tent heard her hoarse voice when she spoke.
"My lady, do you know who I am?"
Su Jinrou's smile froze when she asked, "What's wrong with Shengyi? Is he too happy?"
Li Shengyi shook his head and did not answer her. Instead, he pulled out the little hand that she was holding and looked at her little face without a smile.
"Before the Osmanthus Appreciation Banquet, I was just a homeless beggar. My father picked me up from the roadside, raised me well, taught me manners, and doted on me."
"My father is a good man. Even though his hands are stained with the blood of many people, he has saved far more people than he has killed."
"Even a man like this who saved the people of Great Chu from danger, why does Your Majesty always drag him into the mire?"
All the palace servants were driven out.
In the huge palace, there were only Su Jinrou and Li Shengyi, as well as Shen Wangchen who was protecting Li Shengyi's safety.
A questioning voice with a childish tone reached the ears of Su Jinrou and the others, even though the person speaking was clearly just a five-year-old child.
What he said shocked the two people in the hall.
After being seen through, Su Jinrou came to her senses and a gloomy look flashed across her face, and soon a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Why does Shengyi say that? Could it be that your father..."
"Your Majesty, I'm just young. Being young doesn't mean being stupid," Li Shengyi took a step back and interrupted her before she finished speaking.
"Just like the child in your belly, even though it's only a tiny little thing, it's your flesh and blood. When it grows up, it will become like you, like the child's father."
"Don't underestimate it because it's so small. It's not stupid."
After hearing what Li Shengyi said, Su Jinrou could no longer hold back the smile on her face.
The curve of her raised red lips slowly subsided, and she sat up slowly, supporting her belly with her hands.
It was as if she was already pregnant.
"As expected of a child brought back by Yuan Qing, he is truly intelligent."
"At first, I thought you were just a child, how could you have the ability to drive back the nanny I sent. Now it seems that I really underestimated you."
When Li Shengyi heard this, alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.
Under her drooping brows, a hint of panic flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.
In the seemingly peaceful Qinghua Palace, only Shen Wangchen knew that the seemingly calm little ball in the red tent was actually already panicking inside.
[If Su Jinrou attacks me later, will Shen Wangchen be able to save her in time? ]
[Help! Li Shengyi, why do you have such a big mouth? I asked you to be a messenger of justice, and now Su Jinrou has murderous intentions!]
[When the time comes, she will join forces with Chu Huaifeng and execute the entire Prime Minister's family, exterminating all nine generations of his clan. If my father dies, I won't be able to survive alone!]
Even if I could run away, I still haven't finished my ambition to run away. By then, all the things my father gave me will be used up in the national treasury, and I'll still be picking up trash on the streets!
Blaming himself for losing control of his mouth, Li Shengyi didn't even look up to meet Su Jinrou's gaze.
Her words, on the contrary, made Shen Wangchen alert.
The gauze curtain was of average thickness, and he had good eyesight, so he could clearly see every move of the person inside the curtain.
If Su Jinrou really wanted to attack Li Shengyi later, he would definitely not stand by and watch her die.
The fingers hidden under the wide sleeves moved slightly, and where no one could see, a black blade only one finger long appeared in the palm of the man's hand.
And in the gauze tent, Su Jinrou did attack Li Shengyi.
He reached out again and took Li Shengyi's hand, pulling her in front of him.
Su Jinrou spoke softly, "Why don't you believe that the child in my belly is Yuan Qing's?"
"These past few years, I've had a hard time in the harem. Yuan Qing has helped me a lot. In places you can't see, I and Yuan Qing..."
[What a lie! My father and I saw you and Chu Huaifeng exploring each other's lengths and depths in the rockery of the Imperial Garden. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?!]
Li Shengyi made an expression like an old man on the subway checking his phone, "Your Majesty, are the palace doctors' skills still okay?"
Her topics were so jumpy that Su Jinrou found it difficult to keep up.
Nodding slightly, Su Jinrou said, "Not bad. What's wrong? Is Sheng Yi sick?"
Li Shengyi nodded and shook his head, "I might be suffering from hysteria, otherwise I would feel that you are brainwashing me, Your Majesty."
"Shengyi is only five years old, and he can't stand hearing these words. If my father knew, he would definitely be angry."
"Besides, Shengyi has only been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a year, and he still has the wildness of a beggar. Your Majesty, please don't provoke Shengyi. He will go crazy soon."
If Su Jinrou still couldn't tell that Li Shengyi was making a veiled accusation against her, calling her hysterical, she wouldn't have been able to live happily in the palace for so many years.
The expression on his face was completely unbearable.
Just as she was about to call the palace maid into the hall, she saw the person in front of her suddenly twitch all over and then crawl on the ground.
Note ①
"Why did you frame my father? He's a good man. He's never done anything to offend you, my queen. Why did you want to harm him?"
"You said the baby in your belly is my father's. Okay, Uncle Shen, please invite His Majesty to come, and then invite my father to come. Let's check the time and see whose child this is!"
