He still patiently rubbed her back and soothed her softly.
"Your Majesty, can we bring my daughter over here?"
Li Shushu raised her head from his shoulder and looked at him with tearful eyes, which were full of pleading.
"This is my only request. Although it goes against the rules of the harem, I beg Your Majesty to be considerate, okay?"
Gu Jingyan: ...
I feel so soft in my heart.
How could I bear to refuse? All the hesitations and considerations disappeared.
"Okay, we'll go pick her up and bring her back to the palace tomorrow. I'll personally accompany you tomorrow!"
If I can't even fulfill such a small wish of hers, how can I talk about protecting her and ensuring she lives a carefree life?
…
next day
A few days later, Li Shushu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and he had already upgraded his weapons.
As low-key as they were last time, they are as high-profile this time.
But this time, they also chose not to give any advance notice and instead launched a surprise attack.
When the emperor traveled, there was a grand ceremony. In front was a procession beating gongs to clear the way, and in the middle walked the guard of honor who protected the emperor. The guard of honor held up flags and swords and halberds, with the flags waving and the swords and halberds pointed.
The prime minister and his wife only hurriedly straightened their clothes and knelt down to greet them when they heard the noise at their doorstep.
At that time, Li Shushu was wearing a light purple imperial concubine's palace dress, which made her look noble and elegant.
Three thousand strands of black hair were tied into a nine-branch bun in the style of Wangxian, with various hairpins and pendants on it, especially the two golden butterfly hairpins with long tassels, which created a unique style when she walked.
Her pretty face was lightly made up, and the flowers on her forehead made her whole face look extraordinarily charming.
Prime Minister Li knelt on the ground and glanced at Concubine Shu, who was getting off the imperial sedan chair with the help of a young eunuch. He was stunned for a moment: This gorgeous lady is really the insignificant fifth child in their family?
It was only when the eldest lady beside him secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes that he came to his senses and knelt down to pay his respects politely: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, of the imperial concubine."
Li Shushu was too lazy to even look at them, so naturally, he wouldn't shout at them.
He rushed straight to the inner courtyard, and with a casual glance, he grabbed a servant and said, "Take me to see the Fifth Aunt!"
The servant trembled: "Yes"
They walked quickly to a small hut at the back, the door of which was locked from the outside.
Without waiting for Li Shushu's orders, the secret guard who had been guarding in the dark came out and broke down the door in no time.
As the door opened, a strange smell came out of the dark little room. Could it be the smell of urine or the smell of rotten food?
After adjusting for a while, Li Shushu saw clearly that his wife was locked with a thick rusty iron chain. She was sitting sideways on a simple dark wooden bed, holding a yellowed steamed bun in her hand, staring blankly in his direction.
Her bare face had a sallow complexion and her hair was as loose as straw due to malnutrition - no one had tied her hair up.
Li Shushu burst into tears instantly. She ran over and hugged her tightly. "My dear, Shushu is here. I'm late. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Shushu will take you away from here right now!"
Long-term imprisonment, living in darkness, chronic poison in the body, and crying all day long have made Xie's thinking dull and his eyesight almost zero.
No wonder the nanny took so long to go in last time they met. She must have been in a hurry to give her a makeshift bath, and she also used all kinds of threats to cover up her sins of abusing people!
Before Mrs. Xie could react, Li Shushu, suppressing the violent beating of his heart, decisively knocked the yellow and sour-smelling steamed bun out of her hand, pulled her up and walked out quickly.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a huge crowd of people knelt on the ground, all trembling.
Especially the eldest lady, who was sweating profusely at the moment, but she didn't dare to raise her arm to wipe it off. Her heavily made-up face was full of wrinkles and looked completely unsightly.
Li Shushu pulled Xie out of the prime minister's residence and put her in the carriage. Then he turned around and pulled out a knife from the guard's waist.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" She muttered something to herself as she approached.
Holding a knife, he rushed in front of Li Xiang and the eldest lady, raised it high, and was about to chop down...
Prime Minister Li and the first lady had seen some of the world, but had they ever seen such a mess?
But at the beginning, they still had some hope in their hearts, thinking that with the Emperor in front of them, she would just be trying to scare people and would not dare to do anything wrong. Besides, they and their mother had always been cowardly!
But they didn't know that it was because of the presence of the Emperor that she had enough confidence to go crazy.
And she, Li Shushu, is no longer the same Li Shushu as before!
The eldest lady was stunned for only a moment before the big knife fell and hit one of her arms.
A piece of arm fell to the ground, bloody and scattered far away on the ground.
The remaining half was still hanging on the shoulder, shaking in pain and spurting out red liquid!
The two then realized: She is really crazy!
Li Xiang hurriedly ran away while holding his head, crying out loudly: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
The eldest lady suddenly lost a part of her arm. She rolled on the ground in pain, tears streaming down her face. She was shocked and scared, and trembling uncontrollably!
"What did you promise me then?" Li Shushu was so angry that his teeth were bared. "You said that as long as I agreed to follow Li Xiaodie into the palace as a maid, you would treat my wife well."
Her chest heaved with anger. "Is this how you treat my little girl? Huh?!!!"
She held up a ten-pound sword and chopped down anyone she saw in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
