Chapter 153 Miss Ke'er is truly the prince's lucky star
"When did our daughter become so familiar with Prince Xie and Prince Xuan? They're even chatting and laughing together."
Li Mu nudged Song Yi gently with his elbow and muttered softly.
Song Yi said, "Young Master Xie visited our home a few days ago with a gift of thanks. Ke'er said she saw him once in the garden."
Li Mu frowned.
"You became familiar with each other after only meeting once?"
Song Yi chuckled, "Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is? Even if you've only met her once, she can chat and laugh with others for ages right after you meet her."
"What about King Xuan? He's not someone you can easily deal with. Even the court officials are afraid of him. How come Ke'er is getting so close to him?"
Song Yi: "Isn't it all to save you? Ke'er has met with Prince Xuan a few times and they all say that Prince Xuan has a terrible personality, but I don't think so."
Look, he's chatting and laughing with Ke'er, after all, he's just a twelve-year-old kid.
Li Mu glanced at the two people not far away and snorted coldly.
"I've heard that young people these days are really good at deceiving young girls. Who knows what they're really thinking?"
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, turned to the side, and strained his ears to try and catch a few words.
Song Yi glared at him and pulled him back.
"What are you doing? Our Ke'er is only eight years old, what are you thinking?"
Li Mu was very dissatisfied.
"What's wrong with being eight years old? Boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven, but by the time they're eight or nine, people are already starting to arrange marriages."
Besides, Prince Xie is already fourteen years old, and Prince Xuan is twelve. They are all so old that they are of marriageable age.
"Getting so close to our daughter at this time, she'll be criticized!"
Song Yi was both amused and exasperated.
"How dare you, a man in your twenties, say that Prince Xie and Prince Xuan are old?"
Li Muzhen spoke with conviction.
"How can I be the same? I'm Ke'er's biological father, her own flesh and blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and jumped up, assuming a starting stance.
"That bastard! How dare he hit my daughter with his cloak? I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Song Yi quickly grabbed him.
"You come back here! Don't you even know what the two children are talking about? What are you saying when you stormed over there in such a fit of anger?"
"No matter what he says, he can't hit my daughter with his cloak!"
Li Mu was blowing air out of his nostrils like a fire-breathing dragon.
"Father, Mother, what are you two doing?"
Li Nanke walked back carrying the cloak, looking at Song Yi and Li Mu, who were pulling and tugging at each other, with a puzzled expression.
Song Yi glared at Li Mu, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that your father was anxious to get you home to apply the medicine."
Li Mu chuckled.
"My dear, is the cloak heavy? Daddy will carry it for you."
As she spoke, she reached out and took the cloak from Li Nanke's hand, secretly pinching it several times.
He thought to himself, "You damn brat, I can't settle scores with you, but can't I at least pinch your cloak to vent my anger?"
Achoo!
Just as Shen Cong reached the door of the sedan chair, he suddenly stopped and sneezed.
The cloak I was used to wearing was suddenly unfastened, and gusts of cold wind seeped into my body, as if even my bones were being chilled.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his shoulder, his body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness."
Erfeng quickly took out another cloak from the sedan chair to put on him.
He raised his hand to stop Erfeng's actions.
"Need not."
Erfeng didn't understand, but he still put away the cloak.
He lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his excitement.
"Has Your Highness noticed that you seem to be coughing up blood less frequently lately?"
A few days ago, the prince was vomiting five or six times a day, but these past two days it seems he's only vomiting about three times a day.
Shen Cong took out a handkerchief and wiped away the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth.
He squinted and thought for a moment, then gave a soft "hmm".
"Remember to tell Guiliu about this."
Erfeng nodded excitedly.
"It seems that the change started after Miss Ke'er told the prince to bask in the sun and eat more that day, and the prince reduced the number of times he used his cloak and hand warmer these past few days."
Could it be that the method Miss Ke'er mentioned really worked?
Shen Cong remained silent, standing still in the wind for a while until the cold wind made his bones ache, before turning around and getting into the sedan chair.
"Back to the city."
Erfeng immediately ordered the sedan bearers to set off, while whispering to each other outside the sedan.
"I think that ever since Your Highness met Miss Ke'er, there has been news about the person you have been looking for."
Even Gui Liu couldn't pinpoint the problem with the prince's health, but now there's a direction, and even the prince's vomiting of blood is showing significant improvement.
Erfeng concluded earnestly, "I believe that Miss Ke'er is Your Highness's lucky star!"
Little Lucky Star?
Instead of resting on the soft couch covered with a quilt as usual, Shen Cong sat diagonally on the carpet.
Upon hearing those three words, the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled up.
Erfeng continued, "And that arrogant guy Xueying is particularly fond of Miss Ke'er. When Miss Ke'er was in trouble today, Xueying was so agitated that he wanted to bite people several times."
"Woof woof!"
Upon hearing this, Xueying, who was lying beside the soft couch, let out two cries of agreement, and even emphasized the words in his mind.
Then, tilting his head back, he bared his teeth at Chen Cong, his amber eyes glaring at him with displeasure.
Shen Cong glanced at it sideways, then bent his finger and tapped it on the head.
"What? You're not convinced?"
"Woof woof woof!"
“She fell into the water. Even if you go out, you won’t be able to smell her scent. Instead, you’ll offend your sister-in-law and Zhao Ning. That’s why I had you locked in the sedan chair.”
Shen Cong patiently offered an explanation.
Both the Empress Dowager and Zhao Ning were afraid of dogs, so he rarely brought Xueying with him when he entered the palace.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xueying remained silent, only expressing his dissatisfaction.
Shen Cong's side was filled with dissatisfaction, while Li Nanke's side was filled with great dissatisfaction.
On the carriage back to the city, Li Mu kept subtly probing Li Nanke's opinions of Shen Cong and Xie Xuanxiao.
After asking several times, Li Nanke realized it.
Curious, she asked, "Father, why do you keep mentioning Prince Xuan and Prince Xie? Is there something wrong with them?"
Li Mu's eyes flickered.
"No, Father just thinks that one of them is the heir of a Duke's mansion and the other is a prince, and they usually associate with scheming high-ranking officials in the court."
It's better if you don't get too close to those two. Our family isn't very influential; it's enough for us to live peacefully as a family.
Li Nanke thought to himself that as long as Song Hui, this reborn woman, was still alive, his family would never be able to live in peace.
If you want to live peacefully, there's really no way to distance yourself from Shen Cong and Xie Xuanxiao.
But she did smile and nod obediently.
"I understand, Father."
Li Mu felt relieved and began to talk about his conflict with Princess Zhaoning that day.
Li Nanke looked up, a hint of trepidation on her face.
"Father, do you think I did something wrong? Should I lower myself in front of the princess so that the Empress won't blame you and Mother?"
She knew all the theory, but she just couldn't stand it at the time.
Li Mu suddenly sat up straight and glared at her.
“Who said you did something wrong? My daughter is always right.”
Li Nanke was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sweetly.
Her father and mother will always stand by her side unconditionally!
Li Mu then added, "Girl, next time we shouldn't bully her so directly. It's best to bully her and make her unable to say anything!"
