Upon hearing Li Tiao's words, the Fourth Prince paused for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Now that I'm dead, wouldn't it be much easier for you to run away? Or are you saying you can't bear to run away?"
Li Tiao retorted angrily, "Hasn't Master already made plans for me, ready to sacrifice me at any moment? Does it even matter what I think?"
When he first saw Li Tiao outside the door, he knew she might have overheard what he said. He was so panicked back then. Now, as Li Tiao brings up the matter again and again, he feels increasingly agitated.
He ignored Li Tiao and turned his back on her once again.
With a "tsk" sound, Li Tiao lifted her foot to return to the prince's quarters, but her eyes flashed as if she had noticed something. She suddenly turned around and looked at the place where Su Ma La Gu lived.
Just then, Li Tiao saw Su Mala Gu turn around and enter the courtyard. After a moment of surprise, she took a few steps back, but before she got there, she heard the door close.
Did Sumalagu see or hear what just happened?
Did she follow us out on purpose, or did she see us by accident?!
Li Tiao was extremely curious. Although the Fourth Prince had repeatedly warned her not to be curious about everything in the palace, she couldn't help but think about her reaction to the few words she had asked Su Ma La Gu in the Buddhist hall earlier...
Although she didn't know what connection the deceased Sixth Prince had with her, Li Tiao's intuition told her that they must have some kind of connection.
As she walked toward the prince's residence, she wondered what their relationship might be.
But unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince's mouth was so accurate, it was like a lie. She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she actually took the wrong turn. This didn't seem to be the way to the prince.
After standing still and trying to figure out where she was, Li Tiao took another step, only to see Su Ma La Gu, who rarely went out, once again!
Li Tiao had heard people say that apart from the time when Kangxi summoned her to the Qianqing Palace and made her acknowledge him, Su Mala Gu had hardly left her courtyard after Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, taking the practice of not going out unless necessary very seriously.
Now... something's definitely up, Li Tiao subconsciously and quietly followed Su Mala Gu.
Seeing her enter the Qianqing Palace, Li Tiao turned around again. Had she gone to find Master Kang?!
This is really becoming more and more abnormal. Li Tiao is confused when she is confused, and sometimes she is a bit unruly in front of the Fourth Prince, but when she needs to be clear-headed, Li Tiao can be described as clear-headed.
She would never fantasize about things she shouldn't. Su Ma La Gu's unusual outing was probably not because she saw the Crown Prince making things difficult for her, but because of the Sixth Prince.
Filled with doubts, Li Tiao returned to the prince's residence.
"Where did you go?" The Fourth Prince has been back for quite a while, but Li Tiao is taking so long.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I just took a walk around the palace."
"You haven't caused enough trouble already, are you going to take a walk?"
Li Tiao was furious. This man should be called a "master of stirring up trouble." To be honest, none of her current unfortunate situation was something she had actively provoked; it was all passive.
Of course, this gentleman in front of her is an exception. You know, back then, she caused such a big trouble by "telling a fortune" for this gentleman for money. There's no way Li Tiao would have coveted that little bit of money back then.
But there was nothing she could do; she had just transmigrated and was too naive back then.
"Master, this servant is truly innocent and has been wronged. When did this servant provoke you?"
"Father Emperor has already told you not to refer to yourself as a servant, so why are you calling yourself a servant in front of the Emperor over and over again? Who are you trying to disgust?"
Is there no justice left?!
After Li Tiao died, if this man didn't give the order, would she dare not call herself a servant? What if he caused her trouble?
However, Li Tiao knew that there was no point in reasoning with her, so she gave a formulaic smile and said, "Whatever you say, Master."
"Is that how you talk to me?"
“Reporting to Your Excellency, Li Tiao has lost her manners and I beg Your Excellency to punish her.”
Seeing Li Tiao now looking meek and submissive, the Fourth Prince really wanted to cause her trouble!
"You tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Let's get a divorce, or I'll give Li Tiao a letter of divorce. Li Tiao is such a wicked person, she makes me angry every day, she deserves to be..."
"Hmph!" He had clearly come to cause trouble, but Li Tiao had infuriated him so much that the Fourth Prince shook his arm and left in a huff.
Li Tiao pouted. Anyone can be annoying!
He already wants to treat me like Yang Guifei, so why should I try to please him? In the end, all I'll get is humiliation.
Recently, apart from attending the morning court, the Fourth Prince has spent most of his time in the Princes' Residence. It's unclear whether this is because the Crown Prince tried to kill him last time but failed, which made him wary.
Although she still couldn't talk much with the Fourth Prince, the fact that the Eighth Prince stopped sending messages to Li Tiao while the Fourth Prince was in the Princes' quarters was a good thing for her.
Moreover, Consort De seems to have quieted down as well.
During the day, the two acted like strangers, but at night... they were very intimate, and it seemed that the Fourth Prince really wanted a child.
Although Li Tiao did not want to have children, she could not prepare the contraceptive soup herself, and the Imperial Hospital would not provide a prescription. Hongye listened to the Fourth Prince and naturally would not help Li Tiao either.
Fortunately, Li Tiao came from the modern world, so she wasn't one to be dramatic about this. Since there was nothing she could do, she decided to let nature take its course with the child.
Although he always seemed to want to spit Li Tiao's salt soda at the Fourth Prince during the day, it must be said that Li Tiao also experienced unparalleled joy in certain matters.
Just as Li Tiao was lamenting again about whether she had fallen into depravity, Su Mala Gu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she had something to say to Li Tiao.
