"General Meng left after sending the young lady to the palace. He left in a hurry. I guess he had something important to tell him."
Seeing that the ginger soup in the spoon had cooled down, Lu Xing quickly scooped out a new spoonful and said, "Miss, please drink some ginger soup. You must have been freezing all the way here."
The spicy and pungent taste rushed down his throat into his nasal cavity. Li Shengyi grabbed the porcelain bowl from Lu Xing's hand and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.
"Lu Xing, you have been in the mansion for a long time. Do you know Meng Jiuan's life experience?"
This is something she has always kept in mind.
The original book never mentioned Meng Jiuan's life experience, and the original author set him up as an invincible love-brained person.
No matter what Su Jinrou said, he would do his best to get the job done.
But the Meng Jiuan she met was not entirely like that.
Even though he had obeyed Su Jinrou's orders before, he was still willing to listen to advice.
In addition, since he could become the general who protects the country, he must not be as foolish as he looks on a daily basis. There must be something she has overlooked.
Her sudden question was directed to Lu Xing.
The latter frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I am still young. If the young lady is not anxious, I will go back to the mansion tomorrow and ask the housekeeper."
Li Shengyi took a deep breath after hearing this and said, "Never mind, he will say what he wants to say."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was something else behind Meng Jiuan's words tonight. He must have said something else, but he didn't say it for some reasons.
The little body can't stand such torture.
Li Shengyi wanted to summon Ming Yue to ask about Meng Jiuan's whereabouts, but before Ming Yue arrived, she fell asleep on the table.
In the middle of the night, she vaguely heard Lu Xing's scream in her ears.
She wanted to ask what was wrong, but she felt severe pain all over her bones, as if her whole body was on fire.
Lu Xing's crying voice rang intermittently in her ears. She shook her head and opened her eyes with difficulty to comfort the other person, but found that she could not control her eyelids no matter what she did.
In just this one night, the entire palace was in chaos.
Shen Wangchen sat in the side hall of Xingsheng Palace, his usually calm face now showing fatigue.
The dark circles in his eyes showed that he hadn't slept all night.
This was what Li Shengyi saw when he opened his eyes and looked for water to drink.
[Oh my god! Ghost!]
A familiar voice popped up in his mind, causing Shen Wangchen to open his eyes slightly.
Seeing the person who finally woke up on the bed, he curled the corners of his lips and stood up to pour a glass of water. "The young lady is finally awake. I came here last night and happened to see her with a high fever. Fortunately, she is not seriously injured."
Li Shengyi drank up all the water in the teacup like a cow, and with the thirst in his throat relieved, he raised his head.
The little face, whose fever had just subsided, was pale and not much better looking than the person in front of him.
"Uncle Shen, why are you here? Where's Meng Jiuan? Where's Mingyue?"
"I had a high fever last night? Uncle Shen, did you not sleep all night?"
A series of questions were asked in a mute voice, like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Shen Wangchen put down the teacup in his hand, and when he raised his eyes again, his gaze met the gaze of the person in front of him.
Silver charcoal was burning in the side hall, and the air was slightly dry.
It was so dry that his lips peeled and his throat felt tight, and he couldn't make a sound no matter how many times he opened his mouth.
Li Shengyi just looked at his expression and felt a sense of alarm in his heart.
Subconsciously raising my hands to cover my ears, I saw her wrinkle her nose and say, "Forget it, don't answer, I don't want to hear it."
Shen Wangchen was amused by her escaping look.
It's just that some things have to be said. If I don't say them, then later...
The light in his eyes dimmed, and he raised his hand to grab one of her arms. With a little force on his wrist, he easily pulled away her hand that was covering her ears.
"Miss, Wangchen has good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
When Li Shengyi heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
She waved her hand away and grabbed the quilt covering herself, burying her whole body in it and refusing to look out of the window.
“I’m in a bad mood today and don’t want to hear any news. Uncle Shen, please go back first. I want to rest and recuperate.”
Shen Wangchen raised his sword eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
Then Li Shengyi, who was hiding under the quilt, heard footsteps outside the cup.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, she hid in the quilt for a while, until there was not enough oxygen in the quilt, and then she poked her head out from under the quilt with a flushed face.
Outside the quilt, Shen Wangchen, who had 'walked away', leaned against the door frame, watching her little head sticking out from under the quilt, and the look of astonishment on her little face when she saw him.
"The Prime Minister collapsed last night. Meng Jiuan's plan to assassinate Chu Huaifeng failed, and he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
"Miss, Wangchen is following the Prime Minister's orders to take you out of the capital."
It was already bright outside and Li Shengyi was sitting on the bed.
Forced to listen to the so-called 'good news and bad news' from Shen Wangchen's mouth, she blinked her dry eyes, "You said the bad news, what about the good news?"
Shen Wangchen stepped forward, bent down and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Prime Minister is not dead."
Li Shengyi: ...
"Huh? My dad not dying is good news? No, that's not what I mean. My dad not dying is indeed good news."
"But aren't you going to rebel? What about all the men that Meng Jiuan has trained? Could it be that the kingdom of Great Chu... is going to be handed over to Chu Huaifeng and the others?"
When he finished speaking, Li Shengyi realized that this was not in the Prime Minister's Residence, but in the palace. He quickly lowered his voice, raised his eyes and questioned the person in front of him with wide eyes.
Shen Wangchen shook his head and nodded, “The Prime Minister has his own plans.”
"Young lady will definitely encounter an accident if she stays in the capital. The Prime Minister wants Wangchen to take her away from the capital."
"After the Prime Minister has settled everything, Wangchen will take the young lady back."
"Nonsense!" Li Shengyi refuted him without thinking, "You said my father fell ill, but you didn't say what his current condition is. What if... What if he..."
"And Meng Jiuan, although he doesn't have much brains, how could he be caught so easily by Chu Huaifeng? Has his martial arts skills become useless?"
"Shen Wangchen, tell me honestly what's going on."
Uncle Shen turned into Shen Wangchen again.
Shen Wangchen felt complicated and didn't understand why the Prime Minister sent him to be the bad guy.
He obviously wants to be the young lady's father...
They had agreed to share happiness and hardship, but now that the young lady has been in the mansion for so long, he is still trying to get her to recognize him as her father.
After sighing silently, Shen Wangchen sat down in front of Li Shengyi again before listening to him speak in a deep voice.
"The Prime Minister is making a risky move..."
