Su Jinrou couldn't understand why she initially only wanted to use Li Shengyi as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Songmo, but the final outcome turned out to be like this.
Facing Shen Wangchen's aggressive momentum, Su Jinrou slumped on the chaise longue, her face, which was smeared with rouge and powder, looking pale.
[If the child in her belly isn't Chu Huaifeng's, Chu Huaifeng will stand upside down and eat shit!]
[I was indeed too quiet before, to the point that Su Jinrou actually had the illusion that I was easy to bully and manipulate.]
[Xiao Fa Cai, if I were really that easy to deal with, how could I have managed to keep such a huge fortune? I would have passed away with my parents long ago.]
【After going crazy, I feel refreshed! 】
Shen Wangchen tightened his arms around the little bun in his arms. If he wasn't facing Su Jinrou, he would have laughed out loud.
Even without smiling, that baby face looked quite majestic, but it was hard to intimidate people.
For example, he couldn't scare the experienced Su Jinrou.
"Just now, I just wanted to talk to Shengyi and reminisce about the past, but I never thought that Shengyi would suddenly become like that..."
Su Jinrou looked at Shen Wangchen with an embarrassed expression, "She even asked about the medical skills of the imperial physician in my palace, and said that she has hysteria. Why don't I summon the imperial physician and let him take her pulse?"
What a good trick to avoid the important issue.
Li Shengyi lay on Shen Wangchen's shoulder, snorted softly, and then her body began to twist again.
Seeing this, Su Jinrou immediately shrank her shoulders.
She immediately realized that she was actually scared by a five-year-old child, and her already ugly face instantly became even uglier.
His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, were clenched into fists, his nutmeg-colored nails digging deep into the soft flesh of his palms.
But she didn't feel any pain at all, she just looked up at Shen Wangchen in front of her with a sincere attitude, as if nothing else had happened just now.
“Uncle Shen, the queen said that the child in her belly is daddy’s, and she also wants to use this night pearl to bribe Shengyi to say good things in front of daddy.”
"Shengyi doesn't like this night pearl. It's not as beautiful as the one in Shengyi's room. Woo woo woo, Daddy, Shengyi wants Daddy—"
Li Shengyi's sudden crying and making a fuss finally alarmed the palace servants guarding outside the palace gate.
A palace servant knocked on the palace door and asked Su Jinrou if anything had happened.
Su Jinrou couldn't let this scene be seen by outsiders, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow it. After saying "nothing happened" to the palace servant, she suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on her head.
Looking up, Su Jinrou did not see the coldness in the eyes of Li Shengyi and the others. She almost thought she was hallucinating.
"This is in the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty, you are His Majesty's beloved concubine, who is deeply favored by His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not speak nonsense again."
"The young lady is only five years old, and she is at an age where she can't stand any stimulation. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to explain to the Prime Minister..."
He spoke to Su Jinrou half-threateningly.
Regardless of whether the other person's expression turned ugly, when Shen Wangchen lowered his head and looked at the little dumpling in his arms who was crying for "Daddy", the coldness between his eyebrows was no longer there.
Instead, a gentle look appeared on his face. "Maybe the Prime Minister is already waiting for you at the mansion. Miss, do you want to go home?"
The word "go home" instantly calmed Li Shengyi down.
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her red cheeks made her look even more pitiful.
After sniffling, she spoke in a sobbing voice, "I want to go home."
Shen Wangchen nodded, raised his hand and patted her on the back, “Wangchen, take the young lady home.”
Without looking back at Su Jinrou, Shen Wangchen walked out of the palace holding the person in his arms.
When the adult and the child left, the palace guards outside the palace all looked confused.
Immediately afterwards, after hearing the sound of porcelain breaking coming from the palace, the palace people came to their senses and rushed into the palace in fear.
"Will she target my dad?"
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Li Shengyi, who was lying on Shen Wangchen's shoulder, shrank his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, when you carried me out of the palace, she looked at me as if she wanted to eat me up."
“Shen Wangchen, she is not a good person and is not worthy of being entrusted with your life.”
Feeling the person in his arms shrink her neck, Shen Wangchen tightened his arms around her, trying to transfer his body temperature to her.
However, after hearing what she said, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Thinking about the time when she first stepped into Qinghua Palace not long ago, she had to remind herself in her heart that 'Su Jinrou is not a good person'.
Shen Wangchen tilted his head and glanced around. After confirming that there was no one around, he squatted down and put the person in his arms down, then knelt on one knee and looked at her at eye level.
"Why do you think I would like a woman like that, young lady?"
Li Shengyi had just finished crying, and the tears in the corners of his eyes had not yet dried.
Blown by the wind, her already red almond-shaped eyes became even redder.
She hiccuped and sobbed, "Don't you like it?"
Shen Wangchen laughed and shook his head, "I don't like her. I didn't like Su Jinrou from the moment I first knew her."
"Why do you think I like her, Miss?"
Li Shengyi was choked by the question.
She raised her head and blinked at the person in front of her. The tears that were originally hanging on her eyelashes fell on her cheeks because of her movement. A chill came over her and her little face wrinkled.
"I said I learned it in a dream, do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it."
Shen Wangchen spoke without thinking.
Before Li Shengyi could speak again, he stood up again, raised his arms, and held her in his arms. "Miss, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. No one is forcing you to say it."
"One day, Miss will tell me, tell Master, and tell Meng Jiuan, right?"
Li Shengyi listened to the gentle voice and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
She put her arms around his neck and nodded, her cheek, which had become cold due to tears, pressed against his neck, "Thank you, Uncle Shen."
"I really won't hurt you guys..."
"What are you doing?!"
Li Shengyi hadn't finished saying 'You just need to trust me'.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching roar was heard from the side.
When the big and the small looked in the direction of the roar, they saw Meng Jiuan walking towards them quickly.
Behind him, the twelfth prince Chu Huaize was running to keep up with him.
Seeing that Meng Jiuan had actually come over, Li Shengyi immediately raised his neck to look behind him.
"Why are you here? Where's my dad?"
Meng Jiuan: ...
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pinched her red little face hard.
Hearing the exclamation beside him, Meng Jiuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Serves you right! I was so worried about you and rushed over here, but you didn't even say a word to me. The first thing you said was looking for your dad!"
"You little heartless girl, you're crying like this, are you trying to make me die of grief?"
