It was already late when we returned to the Prime Minister's Residence.
Li Shengyi didn't speak again along the way.
Even if Qin Songmo took the initiative to talk to her.
The carriage stopped in front of the prime minister's residence, and the door was not opened.
In the cramped carriage, the father and daughter sat at separate tables, very far apart.
Qin Songmo sighed softly upon seeing this, "I apologize to you."
Li Shengyi was already drowsy at this moment, his mind was a mess, and he no longer had any resentment after getting on the car.
Just now, Qin Songmo directly exposed her hiding behind the two of them and eavesdropping, making her dig her toes on the ground in embarrassment.
Feeling resentful in her heart that Qin Songmo shouldn't have used her as a shield at that time, Li Shengyi didn't speak to him again along the way.
She even forgot about the matter of drugging the emperor on Girl's Day, which she wanted to ask.
It wasn't until the carriage finally stopped that the shaking of the body made her open her eyes slightly.
When Qin Songmo saw the dazed look in her eyes, he immediately chuckled.
"I fell asleep. It's hard for me to think about how to apologize to you all the way."
The newly grown flesh on his cheek was pinched by slightly cool fingers.
Li Shengyi blinked, and the haziness in his mind cleared up a lot. "Home?"
Qin Songmo responded. When he saw her about to jump off the couch to put on her shoes, he immediately said, "I'll carry you down."
"My shoes got dirty."
Only then did Li Shengyi remember why he took off his shoes and why he was so far away from Qin Songmo after getting on the carriage.
An expression of annoyance appeared on her little face again, and she said, "Dad, next time you want to use me as a shield, can you please give me a heads up in advance?"
"I'm so embarrassed that I'm almost going to buy a three-bedroom apartment."
[The way Su Jinrou looked at me seemed to devour me.]
Thinking of how Qin Songmo had carried him away not long ago, and how Su Jinrou looked at him with murderous eyes under the moonlight, Li Shengyi's little body trembled three times.
Seeing this, Qin Songmo raised his hand and patted her head twice to comfort her, "You showed up just in time."
Listen to the innocent tone.
Li Shengyi's almond-shaped eyes widened. "I was going to go look for you with Qingfeng. If you and the Imperial Concubine hadn't been hiding in the corner chatting, would I have eavesdropped?"
"The Imperial Concubine cried so miserably, in the middle of the night, on such a quiet path..."
"If it were you, would you be afraid?"
Qin Songmo saw that her cheeks were puffed up with anger, and the expression between her eyebrows softened.
He only said "hmm" in a deep voice, "So I'm apologizing to Shengyi. I'll find a secluded place to chat with people from now on. Will Shengyi forgive me?"
[There's no need to be so secretive. If you were to do something secretly and affect the subsequent plot, I wouldn't know how to save you.]
[Just like today, yes, drugging! ]
Li Shengyi didn't even bother to put on his shoes.
She immediately ran to the man, tilted her head and met his eyes, "How about what Meng Jiuan asked you to discuss earlier?"
Qin Songmo didn't expect that she still kept this matter in mind.
But true.
She once said that if Meng Jiuan helped Su Jinrou with this matter, he would definitely die in the future.
This is a big deal, so it's normal for her to keep it in mind.
He pursed his lips slightly, and after a while, he opened them slightly, "I didn't do it."
Didn’t do it?
Li Shengyi's face wrinkled when he heard that.
Then Qin Songmo saw her breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm sleepy. You said I can't get my shoes dirty, so carry me back."
[Not doing it means that forcing the emperor to abdicate won't happen for the time being. As for what Meng Jiuan thinks, we'll discuss it later.]
[Oh my god, this palace banquet seems like just sitting there watching a performance and chatting with people, but in reality, it's all about secret intrigue and conspiracy. It's so tiring to chat with people.]
Qin Songmo listened to her sigh of relief.
He immediately stretched out his arms, held her in his arms, and got off the carriage with her pair of embroidered shoes.
Someone was already waiting outside the prime minister's residence.
Seeing the two masters returning from the palace, servants immediately came forward to greet them.
-
Li Shengyi never expected that Meng Jiuan, although tall and strong, had a really poor brain.
In the study of the prime minister's residence.
Li Shengyi placed the black piece on the chessboard.
On the chessboard in front of her, a black pig suddenly appeared before Meng Jiuan's eyes. "Look, does it look like you?"
Meng Jiuan came to Qin Songmo to complain: ...
This little rascal is so lawless and audacious!
Qin Songmo was making tea on the side. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and saw the black pig on the chessboard. Then, a barely audible laugh rang out in the quiet study.
Although it is almost inaudible.
But Meng Jiuan still heard it.
Unable to believe that his friend was actually laughing at him, he turned around and looked at his friend, "Yuan Qing, you!"
"What's wrong with what you said with good intentions?" Qin Songmo pushed the freshly brewed tea to the seat where he was sitting.
"I told you from the beginning that you shouldn't get involved in this matter, Changxiao. Don't forget your identity."
The man's deep voice was faint, but it could not be ignored.
After hearing this, Li Shengyi's gaze shifted from the chessboard to Meng Jiuan.
What is Meng Jiuan’s identity?
Apart from being the Great General of National Defense and becoming famous in a battle at a young age, does he have any other identities?
It doesn’t say that in the book.
Raising his hand and scratching his head, Li Shengyi added two pig ears to the pig's head.
After hearing this, Meng Jiuan, who was standing next to him, looked more annoyed than before.
The veins on his neck bulged, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Of course I know what my identity is."
"But Yuan Qing, my affairs have nothing to do with her. She is a victim just like me."
The man's forbearance and pain can be heard in his low and hoarse voice.
Li Shengyi seemed to be playing chess, but in fact his ears were perked up all the time.
If Su Jinrou is innocent, she shouldn't have acted on her own when choosing a concubine and entered the palace despite her parents' objections.
How can one be so greedy, possessing wealth and splendor yet still wanting to be favored by others?
[People, you still shouldn't be too indulgent. Once indulgence becomes an addiction, it's time to capsize.]
When Meng Jiuan turned his head to look at Li Shengyi, he saw her with long yellowish hair, shaking her head and humming a song he had never heard before.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he took a few deep breaths to suppress his violent thoughts.
Turning his head, he looked at his friend in front of him, "Qin Songmo, don't tell me you think so too?"
Qin Songmo raised his hand and motioned him to sit down, "Changxiao, please sit down first, and we will talk slowly."
"Let's talk slowly, damn it! I came to you today to ask you to find a way to solve the problem, not to listen to your lecture!"
Meng Jiuan was in a rage. He stretched out his long arm and overturned the purple clay tea set in front of Qin Songmian.
The loud thud of the purple clay set falling to the ground startled Li Shengyi so much that his wrist trembled and he even made a wrong move on the chess piece.
