The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

87 chapter

The reason why the Fourth Princess is said to be a ruthless person is because this so-called difficult delivery was caused by the Fourth Princess herself.

And the reason, judging from the communication between the Fourth Princess and her confidant, was for Concubine An.

Li Qingyi: Stunning beauty.

It’s not that she was so shocked by the Fourth Princess’ deliberate scary behavior. Li Qingyi knew similar routines, but she never thought that the Fourth Princess would do such a thing.

Li Qingyi murmured to himself: "At least, it's okay as long as the person is fine."

It’s just… thinking about what the system said just now about Concubine An being so anxious that she didn’t care about her image or etiquette at all, Li Qingyi couldn’t tell whether this was right or wrong.

Li Qingyi: [Is my fourth sister trying to play a trick on her? If Concubine An really cares about her, after this incident, Concubine An may not pay attention to her affairs in this regard in the future. ]

System: [Maybe, but not necessarily. After all, similar things have happened to other humans before. The Fourth Princess concocted this lesson herself, but those people actually experienced danger and survived.]

System: [But next time, their parents, parents-in-law, and even husbands may still have a lucky mentality, thinking that the first child is dangerous, but the second child is different.]

Hearing this, Li Qingyi also fell silent.

This...she couldn't refute it.

Finally, Li Qingyi: [I hope the fourth princess can get what she wants. ]

Neither the mother nor the daughter has bad intentions. If this incident can make Concubine An sober up and stop forcing the Fourth Princess so much, that would naturally be a good thing.

As for whether the Fourth Princess would be exposed... Li Qingyi saw from the information that the Fourth Princess had taken every aspect into consideration. If she didn't have the melon-eating system, she would definitely not have known about this.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi remembered something and asked quickly: [My seventh sister has already gone there, will she find out what's going on? ]

The Seventh Princess didn't destroy the Fourth Princess' plan after she found out, but she was frightened by being kept in the dark, so she would definitely be angry.

Will she try to persuade him then?

However, Li Qingyi was also a little bit angry, only a little bit, because she also knew that the Fourth Princess had not informed anyone in advance except her confidants, and also because such a thing was still too outrageous in the eyes of the world today.

Moreover, you may be accused of being unfilial, so it is better to be cautious.

She thought that if her Seventh Sister knew the inside story, she would definitely understand, but she would definitely be unhappy in her heart - the Seventh Princess was different from those people outside. If she knew what the Fourth Princess was thinking, she would be happy to help.

However, now that things have happened, and it was the Fourth Princess's own decision, Li Qingyi couldn't say anything.

After making sure that the Fourth Princess was fine, Li Qingyi no longer had to be so frightened. However, she could not appear too calm in front of other people.

She was aware of her acting skills, so she simply found an excuse to avoid everyone. She took a leave in the afternoon and went to her room to copy Buddhist scriptures, saying that she was praying for the Fourth Princess and her child.

Fang Xin, who was serving her closely, didn't think there was anything wrong with her acting like this.

On the other hand, after receiving the news, the queen's eyes flashed, and she turned sideways and ordered someone to prepare a calming soup for Li Qingyi.

Of course, the calming soup here is a proper calming soup, not the one with lead frost added.

The confidant beside the queen asked quietly: "Does your Majesty feel that something is wrong?"

Hearing this, the queen who was sitting in the main seat raised her eyes, looked across the exquisite carpet in the hall, and looked towards the bright direction of the door. After a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "Nothing."

The confidant always felt that the Queen's attitude at this moment was a little subtle, but there was no difference from usual.

If it weren't for the confidant who was always by the queen's side, they might not even notice the subtlety - both the queen and the emperor had practiced Qi cultivation to the highest level. As long as they wanted, it would be difficult for others to detect their true emotions from their words and actions.

——————————————————————————————

Although he knew that the fourth princess was safe, Li Qingyi was not completely relieved. He said that he was copying Buddhist scriptures, but in fact, he also wanted to calm his mind.

After all, after knowing the Fourth Princess' plan, she couldn't help but secretly worry about the Fourth Princess - it would be fine if it hadn't been exposed, because the Fourth Princess would be the poor person who suffered in front of outsiders. After she got through it safely, the Emperor and Empress and even the other concubines in the harem would inevitably send her something to comfort her.

But if it is exposed, the matter can be serious or minor.

As for this matter, I don't know whether it was because the Fourth Princess didn't make good arrangements, or because the Fourth Princess's mansion was in chaos without the Fourth Princess, the news in the mansion spread everywhere like a leaky balloon. Many people knew about it and were secretly paying attention to it.

If she was really discovered by then, her parents would have to punish the fourth princess in order to shut up those outsiders in this era where filial piety is paramount.

The key point is that in this way, Concubine An may not understand the Fourth Princess's thoughts, and a rift may really arise between mother and daughter.

Although Li Qingyi did not like Concubine An very much because of her behavior towards the Fourth Princess, she would not take it for granted that the Fourth Princess also hated her biological mother.

Li Qingyi lowered her head and concentrated on copying the Buddhist scriptures. As long as the system heard her mumbling various possibilities in her heart, it would also become nervous.

When the system heard that the Fourth Princess might break up with Concubine An and her son, it couldn't help but ask: [The situation shouldn't be that serious, right? The Fourth Princess is also truly filial to Concubine An, but the Fourth Princess is not so submissive...]

Li Qingyi sighed inwardly: [You don't understand. I've heard of similar things before. Although the protagonist doesn't remember it, I remember that the mother and son had no bad intentions towards each other. It's true that the mother loved her son, and it's true that the son was filial to his mother, but in the end they still broke up.]

The reason why Li Qingyi was so impressed by this incident was that as a result of the breakup between the mother and son, the son suffered from severe depression and committed suicide quietly in the house where he lived alone on a sunny day.

After receiving the news, the mother handled her son's funeral and died quietly at home not long after.

When people go to extremes, they really can't reason according to common sense.

System: [Then, then host, should we do something? ]

Li Qingyi: […I want to, but I’m also afraid that I might do something bad with good intentions, and something unnecessary might happen because of my meddling.]

Li Qingyi: [Let me leave it to my seventh sister, she is reliable. ]

She, Li Qingyi, is a very self-aware person.
