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

When everyone present heard Li Qingyi directly say that the emperor was poor, their expressions were indescribable for a moment.

How should I put it? It’s the truth, but most people wouldn’t say it so bluntly.

Oh, the little princess didn’t say it out loud, she just thought it in her heart.

That's fine.

Even the emperor cannot control what others think.

System 88 also gave a very positive answer: [Yes, I just checked. Although your father is an emperor, the inner treasury and the national treasury are empty. How miserable.]

Li Qingyi said calmly: [It's normal. After all, my father is still in the early days of the founding of the country, and the people still need to recuperate. ]

Li Qingyi: [What about the disaster area? ]

System 88: [Ah, there is nothing I can do. I have no money so I have to bite the bullet.]

[Your father is poor, and so are his courtiers. They haven’t received their salaries for a year, and their lives are very difficult.]

Li Qingyi was silent.

This... is indeed a bit miserable.

System 88: [Off topic, off topic. Anyway, your family is leaking everywhere. Those people holding the banner of the previous dynasty are picking up people everywhere whenever they want, or spreading the word that your family's position is not legitimate, and secretly instigating the people to rebel.]

"hiss--"

At first Li Qingyi thought that she couldn't help but let out a hiss, but she soon realized that the sound was not hers?

When she looked up, she saw the queen touching her hair with one hand, and a palace maid in plain clothes knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The queen smiled and waved her hand, "It's okay."

Li Qingyi understood that he had accidentally pulled her mother's hair.

The Queen was usually kind to everyone in the harem and she had a really good temper. Li Qingyi didn't find her current attitude strange and continued chatting with System 88.

Li Qingyi: [From this perspective, Li Qi is not as stupid as I thought. ]

System 88 didn't quite understand and asked stupidly: [Why do you say that? ]

Li Qingyi: [I used to think he believed everything others said, but now it seems that is not entirely true. If there was really no benefit, Li Qi would not be so easily fooled into joining their camp.]

[After all, his identity has been unknown to anyone except my father for so many years. Since my father has raised Li Qi, as long as Li Qi does not commit suicide, there will be no problem for him to be a prince for life.]

[My father is a very smart person, but he values ​​feelings.]

Li Qingyi sighed in her heart as she spoke, but her voice was so soft now that the sigh just sounded cute.

Li Qingyi: [It seems that Li Qi has disappointed my father. ]

The baby voice was full of disappointment.

Outside the house, the emperor paused when he heard these words, and looked up at the sky with an unclear expression.

At this time, Li Qingyi had lost interest in Li Qi's melon and yawned: "Okay, let's stop here today. If there is any follow-up situation, please tell me."

[Don't bother me if you have nothing to do, especially when I'm resting, okay? ]

System 88: [Great! Host, don't worry. I know you are still a baby. You need to sleep more to grow taller.]

Li Qingyi: [Be good.]

The queen was still thinking about Concubine Liu and Li Qi. When she saw her daughter's small body, she suddenly leaned back and fell directly into her arms, saying in a milky voice, "Mother, I'm sleepy."

She is still a baby. She just used her brain for a while and now she feels sleepy.

Li Qingyi pondered for a few seconds in her mind, how could a three-year-old girl like her make her father, the emperor, realize that something was wrong with Li Qi? In just a short while, her eyelids drooped, her consciousness became blurred, and she fell asleep.

The queen held her chubby daughter in her arms, her heart softened, yet she felt a little worried.

She stood up and sent her daughter to the side hall to rest. When she came back, she saw the emperor sitting at the top, and she was not surprised, "Your Majesty."

The emperor simply waved his hand to stop the queen from bowing, and motioned for her to come forward and sit next to him.

Emperor: "You should have known about the miraculous things happening to Yi'er just now?"

The Queen frowned slightly, not looking very happy: "Well, Your Majesty, what is going on with Yi'er?"

"I don't know either." Compared to the Queen's worry, the Emperor was much calmer: "But, I think it won't be a bad thing. If it weren't for Yi'er's sudden performance today, I wouldn't have known that I actually raised an ungrateful person."

This is talking about Li Qi.

When the matter was mentioned, the Queen's eyes were also tinged with some displeasure, but she did not jump to any conclusion: "This matter may not be as the boy said. The Emperor should send someone to investigate carefully and confirm it. Don't hurt the child's heart."

The emperor pulled the corners of his lips and smiled sarcastically: "I have sent people to confirm it, but this is almost certain."

The Queen looked at the Emperor.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "In fact, I have received news that Li Qi has been acting strangely in the past few months."

"But I thought before that after all, he is a child that I have watched grow up, and I have hired a famous teacher to teach him. Even if he has some thoughts of competing with the Crown Prince, this child should not be a bad person by nature."

"Besides, I still don't want to think badly of him."

Unexpectedly, the emperor thought less.

Li Qi didn't want to compete with the prince, but wanted to compare himself with the emperor.

The queen remained silent.

The Queen actually didn't feel comfortable saying anything about Li Qi's affairs.

Fortunately, the emperor only expressed his feelings to the queen and did not intend to get any advice from her. After saying these words, he raised his hand and patted the small table beside him twice, saying: "Don't worry about Li Qi's matter, I will take care of it."

"As for Yi'er, from what I have observed so far, she probably doesn't know that I can hear her conversation with that system. So you should take good care of the people around Yi'er first. Don't let anyone reveal their true intentions before you figure out whether that thing is harmful to Yi'er."

What this means is that I don’t plan to let Li Qingyi know about this for the time being.

Queen: "Yier just got up not long ago, and I feel sleepy just now. Could it be because of the existence of that thing?"

This is why the queen was so worried just now.

As for matters like Li Qi and the remnants, the Queen believed that the Emperor would handle them.

The emperor said: "Please ask a doctor to take a look."

Queen: "Can the imperial physician tell what's wrong?"

The emperor frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless when he thought about how Li Qingyi had an unexplained fever and how so many people in the Imperial Hospital were helpless in doing anything about it.

The emperor said: "Let's take a look. It would be good to check his pulse."

Queen: "Okay."

*

On the other hand, after the Crown Prince left the court, he was ordered by the Emperor to investigate Li Qi's affairs. Although he knew that the Emperor's arrangement might not be a training for him, but...

Crown Prince: Father must have gone to Queen Mother to continue listening to my sister’s thoughts!

Damn it, he wants to hear it too!
