“I did, but failed.”
Qin Songmo couldn't help but curl his lips when recalling the past. "Chang Xiao is the only one left in the Liao family. Back then, Old Liao knelt before me and begged me, but I didn't help him."
"Later, when I learned that the Liao family bloodline still existed, I dreamed of Old Liao kneeling and begging. That's when he took Chang Xiao in to discipline him."
"Chang Xiao used to be a reckless young man, doing things without thinking, causing a lot of trouble, and was even harder to discipline than you. But as he's grown older, he's become much more restrained."
When Li Shengyi heard this, he couldn't help but glare, "I'm obviously very obedient and accept discipline."
The smile on Qin Songmo's lips deepened, "Yes, Shengyi is very well behaved."
"What about this time? Is it also in your plan, in order to kill His Majesty and allow His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, that Meng Jiuan has to sacrifice his own life?"
The little daughter's repeated questioning made Qin Songmo's smile fade slightly.
Reaching out and holding his little daughter in his arms, he absorbed every bit of warmth from her body. "Yes and not entirely."
"Actually, there are other ways, but they just take longer."
"In order to avoid any further complications, Chang Xiao made that decision."
"They chose to attack the Second Prince at the same time as they attacked His Majesty."
Low voices kept ringing in my ears.
Li Shengyi yawned, his eyes filled with sleepiness, "And the Fifth Prince, Daddy, don't forget the Fifth Prince."
"The letter that Uncle Shen hid in Chengde Hall has not been used yet. The envoys from other countries are about to enter the territory of Da Chu. The arrival of these envoys must have brought a great crisis."
"You must be careful and protect Meng Jiuan, he is so stupid..."
The pink and white little claws grabbed the dark wide sleeves.
Qin Songmo's gaze fell on the little hand, but in just a few breaths, he saw the little hand slipping from his arm.
Children are naturally sleepy.
Today, when Li Shengyi heard that he was going to come to the villa to see his father, his mind was in a state of excitement.
I accompanied my father to work for several hours at night, and my little body could no longer bear the sleepiness.
She fell asleep just now, thanks to her strong willpower.
Hearing the sound of soft and long breathing next to his ears, Qin Songmo lowered his head and saw his little daughter sleeping in his arms with her head lowered.
Because she had just fallen asleep, as soon as he moved, the little girl in his arms whined, as if she was annoyed that he had disturbed her sweet dream.
The corners of his pursed lips relaxed, he curled his lips and looked towards the door, "Lu Xing, come here."
"Sister Lu Xing?"
Li Shengyi raised her head in a daze. When she saw Lu Xing enter the room, a silly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips, "Sister Lu Xing."
Seeing Lu Xing coming over, she immediately rushed forward and rubbed her little head against her arms.
Since entering the room, Lu Xing didn't dare to look up at the man sitting beside the bed.
Especially after the young lady threw herself into her arms, she became even more at a loss.
Fortunately, Qin Songmo already understood his youngest daughter's temperament.
He paused as he was about to raise his hand to stroke his little daughter's head, then silently withdrew his hand and stood up to leave.
"Let the young lady get up later tomorrow morning. From today on, you will stay in the courtyard to guard her. Don't let her run around."
"If anything happens to the young lady..."
The man stopped talking halfway through his low words.
Unlike the gentle appearance she showed in front of her youngest daughter, Lu Xing was always scared and timid when facing her own prime minister.
Now, after hearing what the Prime Minister said, she nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Lu Xing will definitely follow the young lady closely and will definitely not let anything happen to her."
Before leaving, Qin Songmo turned around and took a deep look at his little daughter who was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
The next moment, he raised his hand, pushed open the door, and left his little daughter's room in the wind and snow.
At this moment, the candle in the room also made a crackling sound, and the flame swayed, distorting the shadows of all objects in the room.
The next morning, when Li Shengyi woke up, he saw a strange scene.
She turned over in bed, hugging the quilt. Remembering that she had returned to her father last night and that he was in good health for the time being, her heart slowly settled down.
She heard the sound of a door being pushed open behind her. She turned around and saw Lu Xing entering the room with a copper basin in her hand.
Seeing the young master wake up, Lu Xing's face was full of smiles. She put down the copper basin and ran to the bedside, "Miss, you are awake. Please get up quickly. The Prime Minister is still waiting for you to have breakfast together."
"If you get up late, your breakfast will be cold."
Be helped to stand up.
Li Shengyi wiped his little face with a hot handkerchief and asked, "Doesn't my father have to attend the morning court?"
God knows she was just asking casually.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the smile on Lu Xing's face suddenly disappear, and then she saw the latter open the window and look out with a suspicious look on her face.
After making sure that no one was outside, Lu Xing retracted her head and said, "Miss, you can't say this anymore."
Li Shengyi handed her the handkerchief and let her apply oil on her face. "Why?"
"Because the Prime Minister is 'dead'."
Li Shengyi, "...because of the fifth prince's poisoned wine?"
No wonder her father was not doing well in the Dali Temple. This was the reason.
On a snowy night two days ago, Chu Huaifeng claimed that he had sent a cup of poisoned wine to the Dali Temple prison. Everyone knew that the Prime Minister of Chu drank the poisoned wine and became poisoned that night.
Qin Songmo faked his death and escaped, and later came to this villa in the suburbs of Beijing, where the father and daughter had the opportunity to meet again.
