Li Tiao was extremely excited. Although she could occasionally swindle some money from the Eighth Prince, dealing with the two princes, even if it had nothing to do with feelings, was still more dangerous than dancing on a grave.
Whether or not there are ghosts is still up in the air.
If the prince wanted to kill Li Tiao, it would be a matter of minutes.
Therefore, if the Fourth Prince had a way, Li Tiao would be more than happy to have him.
"So eager to get rid of Lao Ba?"
"Of course, what's your method, Master?" Li Tiao asked excitedly.
The Fourth Prince said in a casual tone, as if it were a question about what to eat that day, "Give me a child, and that will naturally dispel the Eighth Prince's doubts."
Li Tiao swallowed hard, as something that hadn't been mentioned for a while was brought up again.
The background music that appears in suspense films in a disturbing way echoed in Li Tiao's mind again...
People who can't handle it always bring up this topic... It's too dangerous.
"Master, this is irrelevant, isn't it? When I was forced to act as a spy for the Eighth Prince, he already knew about our relationship, but didn't he still force me to become his spy?"
Li Tiao tried her best to make it seem like she wasn't afraid, but simply felt that the topic of the Fourth Prince was inappropriate and too abrupt.
Fourth Prince: "Why do you think the Eighth Prince would hire you as his spy?"
Li Tiao naturally didn't know, because the Eighth Prince didn't ask her about the Fourth Prince's private matters, except for why the Fourth Prince had a bad relationship with Consort De.
"This servant does not know."
"That's why I told you the method. If you do it, Lao Ba will naturally stop bothering you."
This logic... is simply illogical, but the Fourth Prince doesn't seem to be deliberately teasing Li Tiao, so Li Tiao falls into deep thought.
"Could it be that the Eighth Prince knows that Your Highness is impotent, so he hired me as a spy to test you?" Although Li Tiao had already started to pound on the Fourth Prince's pride, she was unaware of it herself.
She frowned, shook her head, and dismissed her guess, feeling that her idea was too lewd.
Li Tiao glanced up and caught a glimpse of the Fourth Prince's expression. Belatedly realizing what she had said, she closed her eyes in annoyance.
"Master, this servant actually..."
“Didn’t you say that I would have great fortune in the future, and even replace my second brother? How can I replace my second brother without children? Giving away the position that I worked so hard to get? That’s not my style.”
"Of course I have children."
"So how many children did you have for me?"
Li Tiao's smile was about to falter; how did the topic suddenly veer off course like this? Although the two were officially married, Li Tiao was still embarrassed.
Seeing that Li Tiao didn't respond, the Fourth Prince seemed less angry and returned to his usual demeanor: "Judging from your appearance, you must have given birth to my children, right? I won't ask how many you've had..."
Li Tiao could only laugh; at this point, she couldn't think of any other way to deal with the situation.
"If you're so good at divination, then you should know the saying 'Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.' Do you know why?"
Li Tiao was a little out of sync with the Fourth Prince's train of thought. Not knowing what he was going to say, she remained silent, as long as it wasn't something she was doing for having a baby.
“Revealing heavenly secrets will bring divine retribution. You haven’t revealed many heavenly secrets, but you know your destiny and yet you want to change it. Simply incurring divine retribution is too lenient.”
Li Tiao shuddered, somewhat frightened by his words.
"So Li Tiao, don't try to play tricks on me again. I can indulge you for now if you don't want to have children, but that doesn't mean you can never have them."
If you don't want to be born but instead want to run away, that's going against your destiny, and you can predict the consequences!
Finally… Li Tiao couldn’t help but want to clap her hands at him; it was a perfect logical loop.
Because I unintentionally said he was no good, he went to such lengths to scare me into thinking I would be punished by heaven.
How petty!
"Hehe." What else could Li Tiao do but laugh?
The Fourth Prince shook his hand, stood up, and was about to leave.
She could tell he was angry, but Li Tiao thought that as long as they didn't have children, it would be fine.
"Sir, please take care."
Li Tiao's cheerful voice made the Fourth Prince pause in his steps, then he turned around and said, "It's getting late, I don't want to bother anymore, let's rest."
Seeing this man leisurely walk into the inner room, Li Tiao really wanted to bite off her own tongue. Serves you right for being so talkative!
Just as Li Tiao was in a dilemma, Hongye knocked on the door from outside.
Li Tiao quickly went to open the door.
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to rest?" Li Tiao asked before even opening the door.
"I noticed that you seemed unwell all day, so I went to the kitchen and made you a bowl of ginger soup with some brown sugar. Please drink it while it's hot, it might help you sleep better tonight."
Although Hongye is also one of the Fourth Prince's people, she is incredibly considerate right now.
"Hongye, thank you so much."
"My lady, this is what I should do." After putting down the ginger soup, Hongye prepared to make a bed for Li Tiao, but found that the Fourth Prince was also there. After bowing, Hongye acted as if she hadn't seen the Fourth Prince and put an extra layer on the side where Li Tiao usually slept.
"My lady, I'll come and help you pack tomorrow morning."
Li Tiao is absolutely in love with Li Tiao, so much so that she can even tolerate brown sugar ginger tea, which she dislikes the most.
After setting down the teacup and handing it to Hongye, before Hongye could leave, Li Tiao said apologetically to the Fourth Prince, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well, so..."
The Fourth Prince's face was extremely gloomy.
Although he didn't actually intend to do anything, Li Tiao's actions seemed too deliberate to him!
