Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shengyi sat obediently in Qin Songmo's arms, so well-behaved that she seemed like a completely different person from her usual self.
Shen Wangchen sat down below, holding a cup of hot tea, but did not speak a word to plead for her.
It was Qin Songmo who spoke first, breaking the eerie silence in the main hall.
"Fell down?"
In the past, Qin Songmo always disdained words like intimate relationships and blood is thicker than water.
He doesn't want or need that kind of relationship.
Since he was a child, his father said that he was a disaster star, and as long as he got close to others, the other person would die with regrets.
At first he didn't believe it until his mother died in the heavy snow, without closing her eyes.
After that, there were only cooperative relationships around him, just like him, Meng Jiuan, and Shen Wangchen.
The appearance of Li Shengyi completely broke his inner defenses.
It's not that he didn't struggle, but when he thought of the time when he was alone and helpless at night, he couldn't bear to throw his little daughter away.
At worst, if something happens to him in the future, he can just ask someone to send her away.
Having made up his mind, he could no longer contain his love and affection for his little daughter.
When he saw his little daughter, who was as beautiful as the sun, running towards him, the first thought that came to his mind was not happiness.
But angry.
The little daughter was injured when he was not around.
Even though the wound had been covered with ointment, he still felt it was irritating.
"How did you get hurt? And you're crying."
Li Shengyi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the skin on her chin was abraded. She had to hide outside for a few days until her eyes were swollen and the wound on her chin was completely healed before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Otherwise, no matter when she comes back, with Qin Songmo's personality, she will definitely not escape his sight.
So she didn't think of hiding anything and honestly told her what happened in Qinghua Palace, from the big thing about Su Jinrou wanting to give her the Night Pearl to the small thing like the poisonous look Su Jinrou gave her when Shen Wangchen carried her away.
She repeated it all word for word.
Li Shengyi raised his eyes, which were still swollen and slightly red at the corners, and grabbed the sleeve of the man in front of him, "Daddy, what the imperial concubine said was all lies, right?"
"She wanted to deceive me and control you, Daddy, by trying to please me. She's so mean. I hate her."
Qin Songmo was not interested in what Su Jinrou said about the father of the child in her belly.
When he heard his little daughter talk about the scene of crawling in the dark in Qinghua Palace, he couldn't help but frowned, "It's too dirty. If she makes you unhappy again next time, just kill her."
This was the first time Qin Songmo mentioned the word "kill" in front of his little daughter.
As the third person in the main hall, Shen Wangchen knew clearly that this word was directed at him.
Together with Li Shengyi, they looked up at the man in the dark blue robe with astonishment. Shen Wangchen put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Yes, Master."
Li Shengyi, "...Hmm? Ah?"
[What's going on? Why is he talking about killing Su Jinrou?]
[The real storyline hasn't finished yet. Chu Huaifeng hasn't framed my father for adultery and treason yet, and hasn't thrown him into jail.]
[The tyrant emperor is not dead yet, the crown prince has not been framed, the second prince Chu Huaiyu is not dead yet, Chu Huaifeng has not ascended the throne, and Su Jinrou has not killed Chu Huaifeng yet.]
If my father kills Su Jinrou right away, what will I watch next? Will I watch Meng Jiuan act stupid?
The word "kill" was so shocking to Li Shengyi that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she felt two different pairs of eyes on her.
Glancing at Shen Wangchen, she retracted her gaze and looked at the man beside her, “Dad, the imperial concubine is still pregnant with the little prince.”
Qin Songmo didn't expose her knowledge of everything.
He simply raised his hand, which could never be warmed, and pinched her cheek. "The child in her belly is not your Majesty's."
"Shengyi, some things cannot be seen with the eyes, nor can they be heard only with the ears. Many things are like rats in the gutter, they cannot see the light."
Li Shengyi nodded, seeming to understand, "But the Imperial Concubine is deeply favored. If we kill her..."
Qin Songmo raised his head and glanced at the closed door. After a long while, he heard him speak in a deep voice, "What does it matter? The Great Chu is about to fall into chaos."
Shen Wangchen’s medicine has been given to Chu Hong.
Just as Shen Wangchen said, Chu Hong looked much better, and he was full of energy and spirit. He even attended the morning court today.
Those idiots who only knew how to flatter were praised by Chu Hong, who was overjoyed and received another reward.
But they didn't know that this was just a last glimmer of life before a person died. When all the energy in his body was exhausted, Chu Hong would be like a collapsed house and could no longer be saved.
By then, the Great Chu will inevitably fall into unprecedented chaos.
As Su Jinrou was a royal concubine, she would have to be buried with Chu Hong in the imperial mausoleum after his death.
She doesn't want to die, so she needs to find someone to rely on...
A hint of gloom flashed between his eyebrows. In the past, Qin Songmo might have allowed the other party to do this.
But now he has a little girl by his side, he wants to raise her well and give her everything he has never had since childhood.
So he must not make any mistakes in this round.
Li Shengyi did not answer after hearing this. She lowered her head and looked at the big palm in front of her, which was as white as paper and had obvious blue veins on the back of her hand.
After a long time, she stretched out her small hands and held his big palm in hers, intending to warm his big palm with the warmth of her small palms.
"Dad is so smart and far-sighted, there will definitely be no problem."
