Since he knew that Chu Huaifeng and Su Jinrou's escape from the palace was a trap set by Qin Songmo and others, Li Shengyi had nothing to worry about.
Her heart slowly settled down. She hadn't been eating or sleeping well recently, and she had lost a lot of weight.
The twelfth prince came to find her this time and wanted to take her to Xingsheng Palace.
"The envoys from Daliang haven't arrived yet, but the fruit has been delivered to the palace first. Sister, come with me to take a look."
Li Shengyi happened to arrive in time for the fruit, which was delivered to the palace yesterday. Chu Hong had just been cuckolded by his son's favorite concubine, and the effect of the magic medicine had gradually faded. Now he fell on the dragon bed and couldn't get up.
The affairs of the court were handed over to the prince. When he heard that Chu Hong had fallen, the prince carried him on his back and rushed to the bedroom, while calling for the miracle doctor who had a miracle medicine.
Chu Hong felt sad about this. Since the passing of the late queen, he rarely disciplined his eldest son.
Looking back now, in the entire Chu State, only this eldest son can make him feel at ease.
Chu Huaiyuan did not show any excitement when he heard his father's praise.
His eyebrows were lowered and his face always looked neither humble nor arrogant.
Because Chu Hong fell again, the matter of how to distribute the fruits sent by Daliang State was also handed over to Chu Huaiyuan.
"I specifically asked the Crown Prince for an extra portion of fruit. I can share it with Prime Minister Qin when I get back later."
When Chu Huaize said this, he was still in the bedroom where Meng Jiuan lived.
I heard the twelfth prince mention his good friend and forget about himself.
He pursed his lips, stood up and walked forward, "Then I'm going back to the villa too."
Li Shengyi's eyes twitched. "What?"
"You just recognized me as your father today, and I have nothing prepared. We can't be so hasty in the recognition ceremony."
"I also want to go back to the villa. I asked Qingfeng to put me in the general's mansion. I have already prepared all the things for you and sent them over."
Meng Jiuan had made preparations early in the morning. If Li Shengyi agreed to be his adopted daughter, he would give her a treasure.
It was just that he entered the palace in a hurry this time. He had planned to settle all the matters before looking for Li Shengyi to complete the recognition of relatives. Unexpectedly, she came here in person.
Pursing his lips slightly, he said, "Shengyi always accompanies Yuanqing, so he should spend more time with Second Daddy. Second Daddy also misses Shengyi and thinks about Shengyi."
When the aggrieved voice rang in his ears, Li Shengyi looked up at him and said, "The great thing has not been accomplished yet. Second Daddy still needs to work harder."
"As long as we can get through this period, we can sit together every day to drink tea and play chess, until Second Daddy gets tired of me."
"Can I bring some fruit over later? Second Daddy, please be patient for a while..."
When Li Shengyi said this, he almost felt sick to his stomach.
Too gentle.
Being gentle doesn't seem like her at all.
She had barely finished her words when the man in front of her nodded quickly, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Li Shengyi, [...So you just want those fruits, right?]
[How can there be such a childish man in the world! ]
Listening to his little daughter's inner complaints, Meng Jiuan smiled.
He raised his hand and rubbed her little face twice, with a bright smile on his face, "Shengyi is so kind, Second Daddy likes Shengyi the most."
When his cheeks were kneaded, Li Shengyi frowned, but he did not open his mouth to ask him to stop.
It was not until there was a knock on the closed door and the jailer's voice was heard outside the door that he straightened up.
"Go ahead. Remember to come back and see Second Daddy later. Second Daddy has to go out and be busy for a while."
The jailer came over to call people, probably because Yun Zimu had said some important information.
Meng Jiuan suppressed the feigned look of grievance on his face, and only after confirming that Ming Yue was protecting his little daughter did he feel at ease and leave with the jailer.
After watching him leave, Li Shengyi immediately followed Chu Huaize towards Xingsheng Palace.
She hadn't been to the palace for a long time. After she walked out of the gate, she caught a glimpse of Chengde Hall not far away out of the corner of her eye.
Chu Huaize walked beside her and saw her turn her head away, so he followed her gaze.
"Some people say that the Fifth Brother has long been in collusion with the Second Brother. Now it seems that this news is true."
Hearing the affirmation in Chu Huaize's tone, Li Shengyi retracted his gaze and smiled, "The Twelfth Prince knows a lot."
The praised Little Potato instantly puffed out his chest with pride, "Of course it must be. I know a lot."
"Ever since that day when you took me with you to listen in the snow...I've often run to the corners of the palace to listen to all kinds of gossip."
From then on, the twelfth prince, who was originally kind-hearted and as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, was gradually dyed black by the ink of worldly affairs.
Many years later, whenever Li Shengyi saw the silly little potato who used to chase after him and call him "sister" and had always grown into a big and scheming person, he couldn't help but sigh.
She shouldn't have taken him with her on that snowy night.
At the moment, Li Shengyi still doesn't know what this little potato in front of him, which is slightly taller than himself, will look like.
After he finished speaking, she looked him up and down.
Chu Huaize realized something and immediately raised his hand to swear, "I have completed all the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor. Really, if what I said is false, please let the heavens thunder!"
With his mouth covered, Chu Huaize blinked his eyes. When he looked at the person in front of him again, his eyes, which were full of innocence, showed a bit of confusion.
"I know that the Twelfth Prince will definitely not lie. Just do your homework. In the future, you, the Twelfth Prince, will have an important responsibility to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's easy to be a bad guy, but it's hard to accomplish great things. Twelfth Prince, I believe you can do it!"
Today, Chu Huaize still pays homage to the person in front of him.
When he heard her say 'believe in yourself', a hint of confidence suddenly appeared on his face. "Of course, sister, just watch. I will definitely achieve great things and assist my brother, the Crown Prince."
"Eunuch Fu Hai is still waiting for us at Xingsheng Palace, please hurry up, sister."
Lifting the corner of his clothes at his feet, Chu Huaize slightly quickened his pace and headed towards Xingsheng Palace.
However, he was retreating towards Li Shengyi and did not see the figures appearing behind him.
At that time, they had already left the palace where Meng Jiuan was and walked to a slightly desolate path where almost no palace people were around.
Li Shengyi was facing those figures. When she saw them approaching Chu Huaize quickly, she immediately rushed forward.
"Uncle Mingyue, hurry up!"
Chu Huaize didn't know what was going on. Seeing Li Shengyi running towards him with a nervous look on his face, he smiled and stopped.
"Sister, run slower and be careful not to fall. I'll be waiting for you right here..."
