"Listen up, everyone in the carriage! You've been surrounded by the Prime Minister's guards. You'd better be smart and let the little girl out."
"Otherwise we'll take action!"
Meng Jiuan suddenly jumped out and stood in front of the carriage. At this moment, he looked alert and held his sword tightly. If the assassin in the carriage dared to stick his head out, he could chop off the other's head directly.
Unlike the tense atmosphere outside the carriage, Li Shengyi and the other two inside the carriage looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Li Shengyi raised his hand to support his forehead and smiled bitterly, "He really is..."
"Blame me," Chu Yi said with a frown, "It's my fault for not coming down the mountain for so long. It's normal that General Meng doesn't recognize me."
Li Shengyi raised his eyes and met his gaze, "Just pamper him."
Her father often went to Huguo Temple to burn incense, chant scriptures and light eternal lamps.
As Meng Jiuan has been her father's friend for many years, how could she not recognize Chu Yi?
It can only be said that Meng Jiuan’s temper is too noisy, which is why such a thing happened.
"Meng Jiuan, put down the sword in your hand."
Taking a deep breath, Li Shengyi raised his voice and shouted to the people outside.
When Meng Jiuan heard that his little daughter still had the energy to yell at him, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Shengyi, are you okay? Did the criminals hurt you?"
"If it really doesn't work, can Second Daddy go for you? If you get hurt, Second Daddy will be distressed."
Sitting in the carriage, the view is obstructed.
Even so, Li Shengyi could still imagine Meng Jiuan making the gesture of Xishi holding her heart outside the carriage.
The corner of her eye twitched, and she gave Chu Yi a wry smile before speaking again, "Daddy and I are fine. The one in the carriage is Prince Yi. Meng Jiuan, put down your sword."
"What's the first prince, the second prince? All the princes of the Great Chu have been killed. Where are the princes left?"
"Shengyi, my dear daughter, if you feel threatened, just blink and Second Daddy will come to rescue you immediately."
Qin Songmo looked at his little daughter with amusement at the helpless look on her face.
He squeezed the soft palm of his little daughter, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of laughter in his voice, "Changxiao, stop making trouble."
"I'm not making a fuss," Meng Jiuan snorted.
Immediately realizing who the Prince Yi his youngest daughter was referring to was, his eyes widened.
Rushing to the carriage again and lifting the curtain, he saw Chu Yi's familiar face sitting in the carriage. He said dryly, "It really is...Prince Yi."
Chu Yi had long been accustomed to his impetuous temper. Seeing him looking at him blankly, he smiled at him gently, "General Meng, how are you?"
Chu Hong disappeared, and the entire palace only obeyed the orders of Chu Huaiyuan.
It turned out that the Imperial Guards who were guarding the Huguo Temple, seemingly to protect the Huguo Temple but actually to monitor Chu Yi, were also withdrawn.
The current Great Chu is no longer the Great Chu where Chu Hong was the only one respected.
While the entire Chu Imperial Palace was in a depressing atmosphere, there was a cheerful scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shengyi looked at Chu Yi who was eating heartily in front of her. She handed the clean tea in front of him and said, "Your Highness, please eat slowly."
Chu Yi's cheeks were bulging with food, and he kept stuffing food into his mouth, making his entire mouth shiny with oil.
Hearing the caring voice beside him, he took the time to look up and smiled at the little girl beside him, "Thank you."
Meng Jiuan sat beside his little daughter, picking up some food for her while frowning, "Your Highness, please eat slowly."
If he continues to eat like this, what will his daughter eat?
Chu Yi couldn't hear the hidden meaning in his words and just thought he was concerned about him.
He nodded vigorously, but continued to stuff food into his mouth.
Qin Songmo sat aside, looking calm, as if he had already expected this scene.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Chu Yi sat in the tea room. After taking a sip of this year's new tea, a sigh of satisfaction immediately came from his throat.
"Days like this are truly heavenly."
"I've never had a full meal in Huguo Temple. Eating only radishes and cabbages every day has made me look much thinner. Look at me, isn't that right?"
Reaching out and pinching his cheek, Chu Yi's handsome face instantly became funny.
Meng Jiuan was feeding pea yellow to his little daughter and was feeling happy when he heard Chu Yi's voice asking questions.
He glanced sideways casually, then retracted his gaze. While pouring tea for his little daughter, he said nonchalantly, "After all these years, Prince Yi hasn't changed at all."
Chu Yi, who was still eating white radishes and cabbages, was stunned for a moment.
He frowned and said, "Forget it, I don't bother with fools."
Before Meng Jiuan could react, he immediately changed the subject, "Just now I heard you keep calling yourself 'Daddy'."
"What? Sheng Yi has two fathers?"
When Meng Jiuan heard this topic, he puffed out his chest proudly on the spot, "Of course, Yuan Qing is the eldest father, I am the second father, we are both Shengyi's fathers."
"Shengyi, don't you think so~"
The tone of the last sentence was like coaxing a three-year-old child.
Li Shengyi did not answer, but took a sip of tea to dilute the sweetness in his mouth.
After she put down the teacup, she felt a pair of aggrieved eyes falling on her.
Following that gaze, he saw Shen Wangchen, who had just entered the tea room, looking at him eagerly.
That look of aggrievedness came from his eyes.
Li Shengyi touched his nose with his hand, slid down the Eight Immortals Chair, and said, "Dad, I'm sleepy. I'll go back to the yard first."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Songmo and the others to respond, she ran out of the tea room quickly.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, she didn't even raise her head when she passed by Shen Wangchen.
When the little figure ran out of the tea room, Shen Wangchen's face turned serious, "Master, I will lead the way for the young lady."
The two of them left the tea room one after the other, moving very quickly and soon disappeared.
The three people in the tea room did not look away until they could no longer see the two men's backs.
Chu Yi held the teacup in his hand. When he looked up again, the smile in his eyes had disappeared. "Chu Hong is not dead? Where is he hidden?"
"And Chu Huaiyu, how did you deal with him?"
The Huguo Temple is isolated from the outside world, and the only channel for Chu Yi to learn about the outside world is through Qin Songmo.
During his time at the Huguo Temple, he also provided Qin Songmo with a lot of information, helping the latter to become more and more stable in his position as prime minister.
On the way back, Chu Yi learned that Chu Hong was not dead yet. After holding it in for the whole night, he couldn't wait to know where the other party was.
"If I could, I would kill him myself."
"Prince Yi, please give up this idea," Meng Jiuan began to pour him tea. "Did you see that child at the door just now?"
"Does Prince Yi know his identity?"
Chu Yi looked at the expression on Meng Jiuan's face, and suddenly a look of disbelief flashed between his eyebrows.
