Chapter 35: Asking for help? Poor heroine!
"Your Highness."
An almost sharp shout suddenly sounded. Li Yuntai frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"I, the guilty minister, pay my respects to Your Highness."
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Shen Yishan trotted forward with his wife and children, kneeling on the ground and saluting respectfully.
"Oh? Isn't this Prime Minister Shen?"
Raising his eyebrows, Li Yuntai leaned forward slightly with a faint smile of ambiguous meaning at the corner of his mouth.
In the past, even if the other party was the emperor's favorite son, he would not dare to speak to him so frivolously, but now...
Shen Yishan felt embarrassed and angry, but he could only say respectfully: "Yes, it is the guilty minister."
"Prime Minister Shen suddenly called me to stop. Is there something wrong?"
A hint of boredom flashed across his eyes, and Li Yuntai sat up straight, looking down at them with his eyes lowered and an arrogant expression.
"Your Highness."
Looking up at him, Shen Yishan kowtowed to him again, and said with all his embarrassment: "I am innocent, Your Highness, please speak a few good words for me in front of the emperor and give me a chance to defend myself. I will be grateful."
After saying that, Shen Yishan prostrated himself on the ground with a humble attitude. The people from the Shen family who were with him followed him in a hurry, but each of them was unsure. After all, they didn't have much interaction with Li Yuntai before. Even as the prime minister, Shen Yishan was quite arrogant in front of the princes. At that time, he had the capital to be arrogant. If he had known that the prime minister's mansion would fall so suddenly, he would have stood on the side of an adult prince long ago, and would not have begged Li Yuntai like a dog like he is now.
"Unfair? Shen Yishan, do you think I'm a fool?"
Li Yuntai not only showed no intention of helping, but also taunted him: "The ironclad evidence of your forming a clique and accepting bribes was directly presented to my father, the Emperor Long's case. If it weren't for the fact that you have been a prime minister for many years and have made contributions, do you think you would just be exiled?"
As a prince aiming for the throne, Li Yuntai had tried to win over Shen Yishan before, but what about him? Relying on his power, he didn't take him seriously at all. Now he knows how to beg him? It's too late!
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, please understand. Father has always been upright and honest. It is absolutely impossible for him to form a clique and accept bribes. Someone must have framed Father."
Hearing this, Shen Yishan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. When he was about to say something else, Shen Xiangyue, who was crawling behind him, suddenly stood up, tilted her head slightly to reveal her slender neck, and looked at Li Yuntai with tears in her eyes, looking pitifully.
The Xiangfu has carefully trained her for more than ten years. Combined with her experiences in her previous life, she knows very well how to grasp men's preferences. Her appearance at this moment is undoubtedly the most likely to arouse men's desire to protect her.
Unfortunately, she seemed to have overlooked one point. She was no longer the daughter of the prime minister. As a prince, Li Yuntai had seen all kinds of beauties. How could he be dazzled by such a little trick?
"Oh!"
Glancing at her indifferently, Li Yuntai sneered: “Shen Yishan, take care of your daughter.”
"Your Highness..."
This is totally different from what she imagined.
Shen Xiangyue's pretty face was pale, and her kneeling figure was slightly unstable. Why? Why is it like this? She asked herself that she was not inferior to Shen Xiangwan in every aspect, so why did the third prince in the previous life marry Shen Xiangwan and make her the queen, but be so cruel to her?
Facts have proved that rebirth will not make you smarter, it just gives you more experience, and those experiences are not necessarily useful. As a prince aiming at the throne, Li Yuntai cannot be a love-brained person no matter how you look at it.
Without sufficient foundation and a strong back, how could he possibly look at her sideways? Shen Xiangyue thought everything was too simple.
"I am guilty of not disciplining my daughter. Please forgive me, Your Highness..."
Being pointed out in public that his family education was not strict, Shen Yishan was embarrassed and angry, but Li Yuntai was undoubtedly his only lifeline, and he was still unwilling to give up.
"Whether you are wronged or not, you should know better than me, Shen Yishan, take care of yourself."
Without giving him a chance to finish his words, Li Yuntai interrupted and galloped away waving his whip.
"Your Highness..."
Shen Yishan knelt on the ground and roared loudly, but unfortunately, Li Yuntai did not stop at all. He led dozens of guards and walked away. The light in the eyes of the Shen family members completely dimmed.
Tsk tsk...what a pitiful heroine.
Looking at the devastated Shen Xiangyue, Shen Xiangwan had a wicked smile on her lips. Thanks to her, the official couple in the original novel were destined to go their separate ways. Hehe, should she be upgraded from cannon fodder to a vicious female supporting role? It's simply awesome, isn't it?
What she didn't notice was that Wei Chengyi was staring at her profile without blinking. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be an emotion lurking that even he himself was not aware of, an emotion called joy. If it weren't for her timely cooperation, Li Yuntai would never have given up so easily.
