Chapter 120 Sorry

Everyone present was shocked beyond words, and one person even asked, "Your Highness, do you know what you are saying? If you really can't...can't...how did you get the baby?"

Saying the most humiliating words was like completely breaking my spine, but the rest of the words were not that difficult.

"The child is not mine." Li Gaoyou was like a soul floating in the air, completely losing his strength. "It was born to the Crown Princess and another man. Shen Minghan said that if I lose the ability to have offspring, I will lose the qualification to become the crown prince. In this case, why not conceal the truth and acknowledge this child..."

"Oh my God! What is going on?"

"Your Highness! You, you, you... you are so confused! You are so confused!"

"How could Prime Minister Shen be like this? What on earth does he want to do? Could it be that... he wants to be the emperor himself?!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Li Fu, who had been eating, drinking and watching the excitement nearby, finally spoke, and the noisy hall immediately became quiet. Li Fu patted his clothes, stood up, raised his hand towards the people around Li Gaoyou, and signaled that Li Gaoyou should be taken out.

As soon as Li Gaoyou left the hall, Li Fu also laughed, turned around and left the hall in a leisurely manner.

Just as Li Fu was about to step out of the palace gate, someone inside the palace finally shouted, "Prince! Prince! When are you going to let us out of the palace! Prince!"

Li Fu did not say anything. He just walked out and said to the people around him, "Let them all go back."

The group of people in the hall are basically fence-sitters who sway with the wind. Seeking profit and avoiding harm is ingrained in them. Now that they know the truth, they will know what to do.

"Sir, a eunuch just sent a message saying that the Emperor wants to see you."

Emperor Chengwen's condition has improved a little in the past few days. Although he is still unable to walk, he can already express his thoughts with difficulty.

"No." Li Fu refused straightforwardly and left the palace directly.

After returning to his residence outside the palace, Li Fu went to see Chu Ran. Chu Ran had already woken up and was leaning against the pillow, staring out the window without blinking. There was a table full of food on the middle table, and Qin Nianwei was eating noisily. After Li Fu entered the room, she raised her head and looked at Li Fu, saying, "You're back just in time. The food has just been served and is still hot. I'll ask someone to bring you a set of bowls and chopsticks later, so you can eat while it's hot."

Li Fu bent his fingertips and knocked hard on the table a few times, his face dark, "I asked you to take care of others, and this is how you take care of them?"

Qin Nianwei put down her chopsticks and said, "I persuaded him to eat, but he didn't want to eat. I can't force him to eat. Besides, I haven't eaten for almost a day, and I'm almost starving to death."

Li Fu didn't say anything, but his lips were tightly pursed.

Qin Nianwei had been running around with him all night and was indeed tired. Li Fu had no right to blame her.

So Li Fu asked someone to bring a new set of bowls and chopsticks, personally served a bowl of chicken soup, and walked towards the bed.

"Here, drink some soup."

Qin Nianwei held the bowl and ate while glancing at Li Fu.

Chu Ran didn't look at Li Fu, but just said calmly: "No appetite."

"Even if you don't have an appetite, drink a few sips."

Li Futeng stretched out his hand, grabbed Chu Ran's hand, and then placed the bowl in his palm.

Chu Ran lowered his head, staring blankly at the bowl of steaming chicken soup in his hand. For some reason, he couldn't help but shed tears.

After a while, Chu Ran raised his sleeves, wiped his tears, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."

Li Fu sat down beside the bed and looked at him silently, his eyes reddening. After a while, Li Fu asked, "What are you sorry for?"

Chu Ran choked up and shook his head.

He didn't know what he was sorry for, but he just felt very sorry.

Uncle Xing is also Li Fu’s family member, right?

Li Fu should be more sad than him, but he looked so much weaker than Li Fu, and in the end he needed Li Fu to comfort him.

But Li Fu knew that Chu Ran had done nothing wrong to anyone. If there was anyone who owed someone anything, it was he who owed Chu Ran.

Chu Ran could have lived in peace in a corner, and he could have ignored everything, but because he wanted to help Li Fu, Chu Ran fell into danger.

Chu Ran had tears in his eyes. Li Fu held Chu Ran's chin with his palm and stroked the tears in the corner of his eyes with his thumb. "Don't cry. Your eyes can't take it."

But there was no way, Chu Ran just cried silently even harder, and his tears fell faster.

Li Fu said in a hoarse voice: "If you keep crying like this, I will cry too."

"I'm sorry, I, I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore...you don't cry either..."

Chu Ran kept sniffing, and although tears were still falling, he lowered his head and gulped down the soup, his tears falling into the soup. It was clearly a salty chicken soup, but it seemed to have a slightly bitter taste.

"Drink, I'm done..."

"Yeah." Li Fu responded with red eyes, took the bowl from Chu Ran's hand, leaned forward, closed her eyes, and gave Chu Ran a long, salty kiss.

Qin Nianwei had been enjoying the excitement, but now she could no longer sit still. She quickly picked up her bowl and was about to go out. Before leaving, she suddenly thought of something, so she quickly picked up a few more large pieces of food from the bowl, then trotted out the door holding the bowl.

Not long after drinking the soup, Li Fu coaxed Chu Ran to sleep again.

He knew that Chu Ran needed to eat something, but he could understand Chu Ran's feeling of having no appetite and being unwilling to eat, because Li Fu actually had no appetite just like Chu Ran, so he would not force Chu Ran.

And he also knew that Chu Ran would be fine, and he would be fine too, but they would both need some time.
