When Pingting saw Li Xi, she hugged him and burst into tears. He had been gone for more than a month. What mother wouldn't feel heartbroken?
After Pingting had finished crying, she finally let go of Li Xi and carefully examined him.
Then, I stood up and went back to the kitchen to boil water.
It really stinks.
Anyone who hasn't showered for a month will smell like this.
Li Zai held his breath and walked up to Su Qian, bowed, and said, "Miss, you're back? How have you been these past few days?"
"Oh no. We're hungry."
Who wouldn't be hungry after eating fruit for a month?
Upon hearing this, Li Zai immediately said, "I will prepare food for you now."
Su Qian waved her hand, telling him to go about his business.
As soon as Li Zai left, she grabbed Li Xi and asked, "Tell me in detail what you have seen these past few days."
Li Xi scratched his head. After all, he was still young, and he didn't really understand much about this important matter.
"Miss..." He looked at Su Qian with a hint of pleading, hoping she could explain.
Su Qian simply looked at him indifferently, without saying a word.
Every time Su Qian did this, it meant that he had to tell the story himself. Li Xi sighed and stammered, "The emperor first lied to the gatekeeper, saying that the person who took the book was his."
Su Qian nodded and asked, "What is his purpose in doing this?"
Li Xi frowned, thought for a long time, and then said, "In order to surround the house."
"What happens after it's fenced off?"
"He lied to the person with the book again, saying that the doorman was his man, and the doorman had no choice but to listen to him."
Su Qian chuckled, "Why didn't the person who took the notebook explain things to the doorman?"
Li Xi shook his head; he didn't know either.
The emperor could kill people without going anywhere, just sitting in his room.
Su Qian chuckled and said, "Because the person who took the notebook and the doorman don't trust each other."
The emperor took advantage of this to ensure they wouldn't collude, which allowed him to set up this scheme.
He wasn't calculating power, but rather people's hearts.
Xiao Lin is not to be underestimated.
She had underestimated Xiao Lin before.
Now that the prime minister is dead and imperial power has returned, they will be the next ones to suffer.
Su Qian sighed deeply. The most important thing now was to get Shang Tian back.
Otherwise, she would be besieged on all sides, facing a desperate situation.
Li Xi thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true, but how did the emperor know what they were thinking?
"Young lady, young lady, does the emperor have mind-reading abilities?"
Su Qian chuckled, "No, the reason he calculated so clearly is because he is observant. He is certain that the two do not trust each other and are only cooperating for the sake of interests."
Li Xi nodded, seemingly understanding, but before he could say anything, the food was served.
Su Qian ate her meal with gusto before turning to Li Zai and asking, "How's Shang Tian doing lately?"
"This..." What can two big shots say when they're arguing?
Seeing that Li Zai remained silent, Su Qian frowned slightly. "Li Zai, you need to know who your master is?"
Li Zai sighed and said, "Girl, when husband and wife quarrel, they quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed."
Su Qian nodded and asked, "So?"
"You've been away from home for so long, so your son-in-law...so...took a cousin from the Chang family as a concubine."
"What?" Su Qian stood up in surprise, looked at Li Zai, and asked, "What did you say?"
What does it mean when a son-in-law takes a cousin from the Chang family as a concubine?
Shang Tian?
Or is it dark?
