Chapter 4 The Girl's Life is Hard
"Come in."
The sound was extremely cold, like a cold wind blowing, sending chills down one's spine.
Song Yi's hands trembled with nervousness.
Li Nanke gently shook her hand and gave her a sweet smile.
She was born with a plump and cute appearance, and two dimples appeared on her lips when she smiled.
Then he pointed to himself and then to the sky.
Song Yi understood. Her daughter meant that the fairy godmother had given her guidance, and that she was there to help her.
For some reason, her tense nerves relaxed a little.
He lifted the curtain, bent down, and entered the sedan chair.
Li Nanke followed closely behind and went inside.
The sedan chair was more spacious than I had imagined.
A thick white fox fur blanket was spread on the ground, and in the center was a small couch about half the width of a person, with a delicate little table next to it.
On the small table were exquisite teacups and an incense burner, with incense burning inside, its fragrance swirling around, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere.
A large, pure white dog was lying next to it.
Upon seeing the outsiders enter, the large dog suddenly raised its two front legs, its fur standing on end, and pounced towards them in a flash.
Song Yi screamed and collapsed to the ground, instinctively hugging her daughter tightly in her arms, trying to protect Li Nanke with her back.
Unexpectedly, the dog was incredibly fast. It grabbed Song Yi's arm with one large paw and pounced on Li Nanke with its head.
His amber eyes stared at Li Nanke, and he opened his mouth, revealing fierce and sharp teeth, and let out a ferocious roar.
The next moment, it opened its big mouth and bit Li Nanke's little face.
"don't want."
Song Yi was so frightened she almost fainted, and desperately reached out to push the big dog away.
The next second, however, he saw the large dog, which had been unusually fierce, rub its head against Li Nanke's face, its eyes narrowing into slits.
It even wagged its snow-white tail.
Li Nanke felt ticklish from its rubbing and giggled.
In her dreams, she played with this dog many times.
The big dog loves to rub its head against her chest and face.
She also knew its name was...
"Snow Eagle!"
The young boy, reclining on the small couch, let out a cold call, his voice filled with murderous intent.
The snow eagle let out a low whimper, withdrew its head that had been rubbing against the ground so happily, and slumped back down.
The young boy snorted coldly.
"Take it away and punish it by not letting it eat meat for two days."
The snow eagle let out a sob, letting out a low, aggrieved growl.
The bearded man tiptoed in and led the aggrieved-looking dog out.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Li Nanke, who was kneeling on the ground.
That little girl is really unlucky; why did she have to provoke Xueying?
Xueying never gets close to anyone except the prince, so his sudden closeness to the little girl must be because she's scheming.
The prince will probably kill the little girl.
Li Nanke didn't notice the bearded man's pitiful gaze; she was secretly observing the young boy reclining on the couch.
King Xuan, Shen Cong.
He's twelve years old this year, which is the most lively, mischievous and active age for a boy.
He was wrapped in a thick white fox fur cloak, his face was so white it was almost transparent, and his black hair was loosely draped behind him. There was not a trace of vitality about him.
The boy was looking at her coldly, his eyes narrow and his gaze as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
His gaze was indifferent and heartless, as if he were looking at a dead person.
So this is what Shen Cong looked like when he was young. In the dream, when Shen Cong bought her from the brothel, she had already come of age.
At that time, Shen Cong was nearly twenty years old, and he seemed even colder and more violent than he is now.
But in the dream, this person died so tragically because of her.
Li Nanke felt inexplicably sad and quickly lowered her eyes, tugging at her mother.
Song Yi was still in shock, tears welling up in her eyes, but remembering her daughter's instructions, she gritted her teeth and refused to let the tears fall.
"Your Highness, I wish to..."
"You want to negotiate with me? Want me to save your whole family?"
Shen Cong interrupted her.
"I never save useless people."
"A family of fools, living in this world is nothing but suffering in vain. It would be a blessing to die early, why bother struggling."
Song Yi gasped.
I had heard that although King Xuan was young, he was stubborn and unyielding. Now it seems that not only is he stubborn and unyielding, but he can also shut people up with his words.
Song Yi looked at her daughter nervously.
Li Nanke's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Why is the situation completely different from what she expected?
Did King Xuan not see what she wrote on the paper?
Or was her writing too vague?
The little boy was quickly thinking about what to do when he heard Shen Cong suddenly speak.
The sound was even colder than before.
"However, if you can agree to one condition, I might give you a chance."
"Don't mention one condition, ten conditions, or a hundred conditions, I'll do it all, as long as you can save my husband and my whole family."
Song Yi said hurriedly.
Shen Cong's pale lips curved slightly.
"Snow Eagle usually loves to eat plump and tender meat..."
His gaze fell on Li Nanke's fair face, revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
"ah!"
Song Yi was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes after holding back for so long.
“I’m willing to feed my flesh to the dogs, as long as Your Highness can save my husband.”
A hint of impatience flashed in Shen Cong's eyes.
"If you can't bear to part with your child, then get out."
Song Yi only has one daughter, Li Nanke.
Ke'er was a piece of her own flesh and blood, her life.
I wouldn't even dare to hit her normally, how could I bear to let my daughter feed the dog?
Song Yi was filled with despair and cried so hard she almost fainted.
“I am willing to feed the snow eagle, as long as Your Highness is willing to seek justice for my father.”
Li Nanke suddenly spoke.
The girl's voice was childish, but clear and firm.
Her round eyes, like black grapes, looked up at Shen Cong.
Shen Cong narrowed his eyes slightly, a cryptic light flashing within them.
Is the little girl not afraid of him?
"Ke'er, no!"
Song Yi held her daughter tightly in her arms and tried to get up and walk outside.
"Let's think of other ways; there must be other solutions."
She would rather die herself than let her daughter die.
Li Nanke peeked out and wiped away Song Yi's tears with her small hands.
"Mother, don't be afraid. Didn't the prince just punish Xueying by forbidding him from eating meat for two days? That means I can live for at least two more days."
As she spoke, she gently pinched the flesh of Song Yi's palm with her small hand.
Song Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she saw her daughter wink at her with her back to Shen Cong.
He said in a very low voice, "Mother, please agree first, and I will have my own way."
Song Yi hesitated.
That's the ruthless King Xuan, she wouldn't dare gamble with her daughter's life.
Li Nanke then shouted loudly in her crisp voice:
"Two days is more than enough time for Your Highness to investigate Father's case. Your Highness is so capable, perhaps even a day..."
No, half a day is enough.
Shen Cong's ears twitched, and a soft snort escaped his throat.
childish!
Did he think flattery would work on him?
Li Nanke comforted her mother and then turned to look at Shen Cong.
"We agreed to the prince's conditions, and the prince will keep his word and give us a chance, right?"
Although she didn't know why her letter hadn't worked, she had to seize the opportunity now that Shen Cong was willing to talk to them.
How could the little girl find a loophole in his words?
He wanted to see how the little girl would manage to feed the dog in two days.
Shen Cong gave a cold snort and slowly sat up straight.
"The Censorate has investigated the case of Li Mu's embezzlement, and the witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive."
"Why do you think Li Mu is innocent? Is it based on his appearance?"
