What Li Shengyi didn't expect was that Chu Huaiyuan gave an answer after being stunned for a moment.
Before she left his arms, she heard a soft sigh above her head.
"How did Shengyi know that I have been secretly investigating this matter for many years?"
Li Shengyi paused in his struggle to get out of his arms.
She turned around and saw Chu Huaiyuan's face with a stern expression.
"Chu Huaiyu has been doing well in the palace these years. Because there are too many spies in the palace, he dare not act recklessly."
"Ever since he left the palace at the tender age of 20 and established his own residence, he has become lawless."
"But he does everything so flawlessly that I have only found some clues over the years, but no key evidence."
After Chu Huaiyuan said this, Li Shengyi gradually let down his guard and looked up at him again, "I know."
Li Shengyi was not very satisfied with the content of the original book because she was obsessed with Qin Songmo.
In the original book, Qin Songmo was offline in the middle and late stages, and the following content was about Su Jinrou juggling between other men and struggling with Chu Huaifeng.
When she read the middle and later parts of the book, she almost skipped through it.
Fortunately, she had read several key points at that time. Now that the plot line has collapsed, the key points can still be used.
They stayed in the East Palace for half a day until the Xingsheng Palace sent a palace maid to invite Li Shengyi to go to Xingsheng Palace to have dinner with the twelfth prince. Only then did the two of them look up from their desks.
"Do you have any plans after lunch?"
Li Shengyi shook his head.
She also wanted to make arrangements, but her father and Meng Jiuan were both imprisoned, and Shen Wangchen had to go south for urgent matters, so she could only shrink and hide in the palace as much as possible.
I just hope that Chu Huaiyu and Chu Huaifeng won’t notice me.
When Chu Huaiyuan saw the loneliness flash across her eyes, he knew that she must be missing Qin Songmo.
Putting down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, he walked around the desk and extended his hand to her, "Let's go, let's go to Xiao Twelve's place for lunch first. After lunch, I will take you to an interesting place."
When Li Shengyi heard that Chu Huaiyuan was going to take him to an interesting place, he swept away the complicated emotions in his heart and raised his hand to grasp his dry and warm fingers.
Different from Qin Songmo's fingers which are always warm or cold.
As the future crown prince, Chu Huaiyuan must study the six arts of a gentleman and martial arts.
His palms were covered with calluses, but Qin Songmo's fingers were slender and the flesh on his palms was soft.
Following Chu Huaiyuan's footsteps, Li Shengyi walked carelessly, "Your Highness, is my father okay? Uncle Shen said he fell ill last night."
The childish questioning voice rang in his ears. Chu Huaiyuan did not stop walking and nodded in response, "Not bad."
"Oh, I'm glad he's fine. He's not in good health. I was afraid he couldn't stand the cold."
"What about Meng Jiuan? Did he suffer after being arrested and imprisoned?"
Chu Huaiyuan took the oil-paper umbrella handed to him by the palace maid and tilted the umbrella over the head of the little girl beside him. "He's fine too. He's a warrior with a tough skin and strong muscles. He can handle any minor fight."
"But he's also a human being, and he feels pain too." Li Shengyi said softly, "Besides, it's winter now, and injuries don't heal easily in winter. What if he gets infected again..."
"Your Highness, could you please ask them to be gentler on Meng Jiuan when they punish him? He's just too concerned about his reputation to even speak when he's in pain."
The Eastern Palace was very large. After the two of them got on the sedan chair, they were carried to the Xingsheng Palace by palace servants.
Chu Huaiyuan listened to the mumbling in his ears, handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to the palace maid beside him, and then heard him sigh softly.
"I finally understand why Yuan Qing and Chang Xiao are obsessed with you. I'm really jealous of Yuan Qing for having such a good daughter."
Li Shengyi turned his head and glanced at him. "Of course I am. I also envy my father and Meng Jiuan for having such a caring and well-behaved daughter like me."
Chu Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment by his ridiculous boasting, and the next moment he burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, Chang Xiao will be fine."
"Thank you, Your Highness! Long live Your Highness!"
-
The Forbidden City had long been in chaos.
Not only the Forbidden City, but even the ministers in the court who took sides began to feel like ants on the hot pan.
Amidst this chaos, only the Xingsheng Palace was bustling with activity.
"Why can't I go? Prince brother, am I not your most adorable little Twelve?"
Inside the Xingsheng Palace, the twelfth prince looked at the two people, one big and one small, who were about to leave the palace gate with tears in his eyes.
He pursed his lips, and when he saw that Chu Huaiyuan was unmoved, he immediately turned to look at Li Shengyi next to him, "Sister, don't you want Xiao Twelve anymore, too?"
Li Shengyi held his forehead with his hand in frustration, "Be good, Twelfth Prince. I'm just going out with His Highness. I'll be back in less than two hours."
"Be good in the palace and study hard. You will have to assist His Highness in the future."
Chu Huaize stood there motionless, his fingers tightly grasping the corner of Chu Huaiyuan's clothes.
The way he looked at Chu Huaiyuan and the other man was as if he was looking at a heartless man.
Li Shengyi was shocked by the thought in his mind.
She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the person next to her, and saw that the latter frowned almost imperceptibly. Then, she heard a scolding voice above her head.
"Chu Huaize, you are already four years old. What are you crying like?"
"I only want to discuss something with Shengyi. I'm not abandoning you. Stay in Xingsheng Palace and study hard. If you fail, you will be punished by copying the Analects ten times."
