He was grabbing her collar, forwards and backwards. Wasn't it because he thought she wasn't dying fast enough?
After hearing what she said, Zhao Gan raised his hand and brought her in front of him, and they looked into each other's eyes.
When he saw her cute little face, he couldn't help but frown on his face with a hideous scar.
"Not at all. Are you sure she's the only child in Qin Songmo's carriage?"
Zhao Gan's voice was not loud, but his tone was cold and solemn.
When the second in command heard this, he immediately frowned and lowered his head, "There's only one sitting in the carriage, and there's another one who's a little older and looks like a maid."
"Boss, are we being tricked into leaving the mountain?"
When the second in command said this, he raised his head several times to look at Li Shengyi's little face.
Not to mention Zhao Gan, even he had seen Qin Songmo a few times, and this child really didn't look like Qin Songmo.
Can......
"Isn't it rumored that Qin Songmo adopted a daughter? It's normal for an adopted daughter to look nothing like his biological daughter, right?"
The second-in-command looked at Li Shengyi again with doubt, frowned, and started to play the gun in his heart to refute the boss's words.
The boss has always been a man of his word. He hates being contradicted the most. But now, he has done what he hates the most.
As expected, Zhao Gan kicked him over after hearing what he said. "Are you stupid? Qin Songmo has been the prime minister for so many years, how could he really not have any children?"
"However, he had vowed in his early years that he would never marry or have heirs. Only then did the late emperor believe him and help him take the position of Prime Minister."
"You're a man too. Can you stay away from women for decades? Can you leave behind a child?"
It’s no wonder that Zhao Gan is suspicious by nature. He has been arranged to stay in the northwest border over the years, waiting for the second prince’s deployment.
But what he didn't expect was that the Second Prince would not allow him to mobilize troops. Thinking that the Second Prince wanted to abandon him as a chess piece, he led his troops directly towards the capital without any hesitation.
Later, something like that happened in the capital. The second prince was filled with regret and sent him a letter, asking him to go to the capital immediately to provide assistance.
He did arrive, and he thought he could help the second prince ascend the throne, but what he got was the second prince being arrested and imprisoned. He confessed that it was he who attempted to rebel and wanted to use him as a shield.
If he had not been able to think quickly and escape, he would have been buried in Caishikou by now, and would have gone to hell with those criminals who were also beheaded.
That's why when he looked at Li Shengyi's little face, he began to have doubts in his heart.
The second in command kept shaking his head under his repeated questioning.
It is a man's nature to ask him not to touch a woman for ten or eight years, which is almost like asking him to die.
As for children, there is an old saying that goes, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. If he doesn't even have a child in this life, how can he face his ancestors when he dies?
Thinking of this, the second in command's eyes changed when he looked at Li Shengyi, "What a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"Qin Songmo is cunning and treacherous. He must have found some clues to set up this plan."
"You are also a waste. This child doesn't look like Qin Songmo at all, and you dare to bring him back? You've wasted all my efforts!"
"It will be even more difficult to take action against Qin Songmo now!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Zhao Gan tightened his grip on Li Shengyi's collar.
The latter choked and coughed, then turned his head to look at Zhao Gan with a hint of...contempt in his eyes.
"If you don't believe me, you can let the person sitting here see if I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Because his collar was tightened, Li Shengyi's voice became hoarse.
She narrowed her eyes and turned to look in the direction of the seat above her, as if she had guessed who the woman there was.
When Zhao Gan saw the contempt in her eyes, he stopped raising his hand to hit her.
Immediately, he followed her and turned his head to look up.
The veil there had been slightly lifted by an arm, revealing a thin white leg with a scabbed scar.
"Shengyi is truly intelligent. If I had known you would be the biggest obstacle on my path to becoming the Empress, I would have found an excuse to kill you at the Osmanthus Appreciation Banquet."
Afterwards, there was a hint of laziness in his hoarse voice.
Su Jinrou put on her coat. Even in the middle of winter, she was not afraid of the cold. She walked barefoot and limped towards where Li Shengyi and the other two were.
Seeing that the skin that was once as delicate as a baby's was now covered with scars, especially the pretty face, where the word "bitch" was carved by a knife or dagger.
Li Shengyi blinked and smiled at her, "Noble Concubine Su, we meet again."
Seeing that the child he had captured actually recognized Su Jinrou, the second in command was surprised for a moment, and then his gaze fell on Zhao Gan.
The latter frowned, pursed his lips, and then opened his thin lips slightly, "Is she really Qin Songmo's daughter?"
Su Jinrou nodded slightly, "It's her. Even if she turned into ashes, I would recognize her."
In just half a year, she had instantly fallen from the position of a royal concubine to become a prostitute of the lowest status, only able to be played with by men.
This short six months seemed like a dream, and everything in the dream seemed so unreal.
Su Jinrou looked at Li Shengyi coldly. After a long while, she raised the corners of her lips and said softly, "Shengyi didn't expect that I'm not dead yet."
"Not only am I not dead, I'm now going to take back everything you took from me!"
The nails, which had not been trimmed for a long time and were now too long, scratched across Li Shengyi's soft face.
I thought that after I said this, I would be able to see a look of panic on the little face in front of me.
But no.
Instead of seeing any panic on the little face in front of her, Su Jinrou actually saw a faint smile between her eyebrows.
The fingers that were stroking the little face suddenly tightened, and a ferocious look appeared on Su Jinrou's face, "What are you laughing at?!"
Li Shengyi took a deep breath and said, "I laugh at you for not understanding the rules of this world."
"As you can see, not everyone in this world is your appendage. They all have their own soul."
"For example, my father, the former Crown Prince, and Meng Jiuan, the person you despise the most."
"Concubine Su, do you know why everyone was so fascinated by you, just like these two men in front of us?"
Her tone was gentle. Because Zhao Gan was still holding the back of her collar, she was a little breathless at the moment. At the same time, her little face began to turn from red to liver color.
Su Jinrou knew that she shouldn't talk too much to her.
Originally, Li Shengyi was captured to threaten Qin Songmo, but after listening to what he said, something seemed to be about to burst out of her mind.
