Suddenly, a child's scream was heard in the imperial study with its doors and windows closed.
Li Shengyi glanced at Chu Huaize who was squatting in the corner drawing circles, and the smile between his eyebrows became even brighter.
She patted Chu Huaiyuan's hand, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please let me go."
"You and Dad must have something important to discuss. The Twelve Prince and I will go to the side to have some snacks."
What a well-behaved child.
It’s a pity that it’s not mine.
Chu Huaiyuan reluctantly put the person in his arms down, and called the palace maid to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more snacks.
Seeing the two little kids hiding aside and his royal brother laughing like a puppy at just a few words, he couldn't help but look away and turned his head to look at Qin Songmo who was sitting below.
The teacup and the table surface collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Qin Songmo raised his eyelids and nodded slightly to the person in front of him, "Your Majesty, the Great Chu is still waiting for Your Majesty to have children and spread out."
The implication is 'Don't even think about my daughter'.
Chu Huaiyuan was silenced by his words before he could say a word.
The corners of his lips raised a bitter smile, and he shook his head helplessly, "Yuan Qing, you really are..."
"But have you really decided? Are you going to leave the capital with such good intentions?"
"If you leave, then I, then I..."
Changing the subject, Chu Huaiyuan frowned and stared at the person in front of him.
Qin Songmo was a handsome man, with nice eyes and a nice nose. He still remembered the high-spirited look of this man when he was wearing a bright red top scholar's uniform and riding a horse in the parade.
Not long after that, he wanted to retire and return home.
"You're not even thirty yet. You're not old at all."
It is difficult to find a talent like Qin Songmo in other countries, let alone in Da Chu.
He had just ascended the throne and needed help, but the other party left like this. I'm afraid...
Qin Songmo did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to his youngest daughter who was sharing pastries with the twelfth prince.
Seeing her short legs dangling gently in the air, perhaps because she was listening to what happened to the twelfth prince after he was kidnapped, her little face was serious, and her eyes occasionally revealed a look of heartache.
His throat rolled, and as he looked away, he also restrained the smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, all the doctors and physicians have determined that I will not live past thirty. A year has passed, and I will soon be twenty-nine."
"Shengyi is still young, and I want to spend more time with her."
The deep voice no longer had the coldness of the past, but was now more gentle and affectionate.
Chu Huaiyuan's expression froze when he heard this. He tilted his head to glance at Li Shengyi, who was sitting not far away, and frowned slightly, "That's all nonsense. Aren't you fine now?"
"Besides, I have good intentions, so you will definitely not do anything."
Even he knew that there was nothing wrong with Qin Songmo's body.
However, he was suffering from a serious mental illness, which caused his body to become increasingly thin and his physical condition to be somewhat weak.
In the past, he was just like those doctors and imperial physicians, with no other options but to watch Qin Songmo grow weaker and weaker.
But now it is very different. Since Li Shengyi appeared, his complexion has obviously become better. Even his usually serious face would reveal a smile from time to time.
Facing the new emperor's anxious look, Qin Songmo put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and shook his head, "I dare not gamble."
"Your kindness is still young. I want to bring the best of everything in the world to her, so that if in the future... I will have no regrets."
Seeing that Qin Songmo couldn't be persuaded, Chu Huaiyuan frowned and asked again, "You want to leave, what about Changxiao?"
Qin Songmo met his eyes and smiled at him, "Chang Xiao is dull and I'm afraid he can't help Your Majesty."
"He has relied on a breath of air to get to where he is today all these years. Now that this breath has finally been released, there is no point for him to stay in the court."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Prince Yi will do his utmost to help and assist Your Majesty."
He was worried because the person assisting him was Uncle Yi!
Chu Huaiyuan roared in his heart, but because of his current status, it would be too rude to do those things again.
Finally, he could only raise his hand to gently stroke his aching head, take a deep breath, and ask one last time, "Have you really made up your mind?"
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind to leave."
The sonorous and powerful voice not only fell into Chu Huaiyuan's ears, but also reached Li Shengyi and the others.
Li Shengyi, who was eating melon here with Chu Huaize, immediately raised her head after hearing her father's voice.
The father and daughter looked at each other, and after seeing the smile in each other's eyes, they both looked away.
After taking a bite of the pastry in her hand, she raised her chin and urged the person in front of her, "And then? Keep talking."
There was a floor heating in the imperial study, so it was very warm.
However, Li Shengyi and the others took off their cloaks after entering the imperial study, so they were not very hot.
But at this moment, Chu Huaize's little face was so red that it looked like it could burn.
Hearing that Li Shengyi was going to continue speaking, he took a big gulp of tea. The moment his tongue was burned, he almost sprayed the tea in his mouth on the former's face.
After swallowing the scalding tea, he looked at the person in front of him with tearful eyes and pleaded in a low voice, "Sister, that scene is not pretty, can you please stop talking about it?"
"If you stop talking halfway, you'll be left without a companion in the future, Your Highness, are you really not going to tell me?"
Chu Huaize suddenly had a bitter face and told her everything about how he and Su Jinrou were thrown into a group of men together.
Why can my sister listen to these things, these embarrassing things with such relish?
The young twelfth prince was heartbroken.
If the imperial study had not been built so well and every brick was not so hard, at this moment he would have just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
[Wow, this is so exciting! I'm going to share this with my dad later!]
"Oh, right, since Su Jinrou has been with so many men, uh...is she okay?"
Chu Huaize shook his head. "I don't know either. That scene was truly, truly unbearable to watch. I blocked my ears, closed my eyes, and fell asleep soon after."
"When I woke up, I saw the mighty figure of General Meng!"
Finally, he finished describing the scene he had seen before. When he talked about the scene where Meng Jiuan came to rescue him, Chu Huaize's little face suddenly lit up with excitement.
He glanced at the person in front of him who was chewing the pastry bite by bite, and in excitement, he reached out and grabbed her little hand.
"Sister, I will study hard and practice martial arts in the future. I will become a powerful man like General Meng, and then protect you!"
[Wow, my little potato has grown up. ]
Li Shengyi was startled by his sudden action of grabbing his hand.
After hearing his assurance, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
It feels like my son has grown up.
However, when this feeling fell into the heart of Qin Songmo who was not far away, it completely changed its meaning.
