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

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Princess' sudden action would have such an effect. Li Qingyi's favorability towards the Seventh Princess immediately increased!

Afterwards, Li Qingyi inquired about the suspected punishment of house arrest for the Seventh Princess. It only prohibited the Seventh Princess from leaving the palace, but her actions within the palace were not affected. She felt that the Emperor was such a good father!

Although the emperor's punishment was obviously a bit biased towards the victim, Mo Chenglian, the emperor later sent medicine to Mo Chenglian for treatment and also dispatched an imperial physician to help with the treatment. So for most people, the matter ended there.

Ok?

You said Mo Chenglian was pitiful for being beaten?

Sorry, in this era, the emperor is the sky.

Even if some people privately felt that the Seventh Princess' behavior was inappropriate, publicly, the matter ended there after the Emperor made compensation.

Not to mention, rumors spread afterwards that the Seventh Princess was beaten because Mo Chenglian had an unclear relationship with some palace maids while he was on duty in the palace, which made the Seventh Princess unhappy - ah, although the Seventh Princess's behavior of beating people was a bit extreme, it is normal for a young girl to not like playboys.

Besides, the Seventh Princess is just a little girl. Even if she took action, it is impossible for her to beat Mo Chenglian that badly. The Emperor has also compensated her, so she just has to endure it.

So, the matter eventually came to nothing. Probably, except for Mo Chenglian himself who remembered it clearly, everyone else quickly forgot about it.

Including the seven princesses who took action.

The Seventh Princess is not restricted in her movements within the palace. Although Mo Chenglian is a palace guard, because of his injury, the emperor asked him to recuperate at home, so he will not enter the palace in the short term.

Li Qingyi: That’s great!

I was worried that the Eighth Princess would be so stupid as to do something wrong, but it turned out that the other person involved couldn't even enter the palace. Even if the Eighth Princess wanted to do something, she couldn't accomplish it. Li Qingyi was of course happy!

That day, at noon, Li Qingyi excitedly brought the osmanthus jelly that she had asked someone to make and ran to the upper study room to express her condolences to the Seventh Princess, who had made great contributions. After discovering that the Eighth Princess still had not come to the upper study room, she did not stay there to delay other people's classes and returned to Kunning Palace.

Li Qingyi: [How is Eighth Sister these days? Is she really sick? ]

System: [No, the Eighth Princess is fine. She is now... uh, under house arrest? ]

Li Qingyi was shocked: [House arrest!? Who? Concubine Shu? Did Concubine Shu find out about her affair with Mo Chenglian? ]

System: [No, Concubine Shu didn't find out, but she is also investigating this matter, because Concubine Shu mentioned the matter of the prince consort to the Eighth Princess, and the Eighth Princess was very resistant and got angry every time it was mentioned. Concubine Shu became suspicious and didn't let the Eighth Princess go out. She sent people to secretly investigate who had an unusual relationship with the Eighth Princess.]

[However, currently Concubine Shu's main suspects are the tutors of several princes, and she has not yet suspected the guards.]

Li Qingyi: [She has been on leave for several days. Could it be that Concubine Shu has been investigating for several days? Why didn't you tell me about this before? ]

The system is innocent: [Ah, because I just discovered it too. ]

Li Qingyi: ...

A question mark slowly appeared in Li Qingyi's head.

Li Qingyi was puzzled: [This news was hidden before? ]

The system flipped through the intelligence records and said innocently: [No, because when Concubine Shu arranged this matter before, she hinted at it but didn't say it directly. So when I saw this intelligence, I didn't think Concubine Shu was looking into this, so I didn't tell you. Then when Concubine Shu talked to her confidant yesterday, she mentioned the Eighth Princess directly. The confidant also said that the Eighth Princess was young and could be easily deceived by men, so I understood.]

Li Qingyi was speechless.

She understood, so she was even more speechless.

Li Qingyi blurted out after a while: [System, you are not very smart. ]

System: […Host, you can just say I’m stupid. ]

Then, after a few seconds, the system quickly added: [But I am definitely not an artificial idiot! An artificial idiot cannot chat with you smoothly! ]

pride!

proud!

Li Qingyi: As long as you are happy.

After learning that the Eighth Princess was under house arrest, Li Qingyi's impression of Concubine Shu suddenly dropped to the bottom, but there was nothing she could do.

Here, children often do not exist as individuals, but are the property of their parents.

As long as their parents want, their lives will be influenced to a great extent by their parents. If they resist, they may be branded as unfilial.

However, the Eighth Princess was under house arrest and Mo Chenglian was recuperating at home, so the plan that the Eighth Princess had prepared before could not be implemented for the time being.

However, the next day, Li Qingyi found that he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the system excitedly say: [Host, host! New information! New information! ]

Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment. It was rare to hear the system so excited. He was puzzled: [What new information? Why are you so excited? ]

System: [Host, the melon you bought this time is really worth it! The melon of the Eighth Princess! The price went up last night! It went up to 1500 energy! It tripled!]

[Fortunately, you bought this melon before the price went up, you made a profit! ]

Li Qingyi was surprised: [What happened last night? ]

After a pause, she quickly thought of something and stood up abruptly: [Wait, could it be that my eighth sister did something? ]

The system was excited: [Yes! Last night, the Eighth Princess finally stood up and was unwilling to continue to be controlled by Concubine Shu and become her tool for marriage. She quietly slipped out of Chuxiu Palace and wanted to elope with Mo Chenglian. She was locked up in her own residence by Concubine Shu and was not well-informed about the outside world. She didn't know that Mo Chenglian was beaten by the Seventh Princess. She has been recuperating at home during this period and has not entered the palace. ]

[Then the Eighth Princess failed to find Mo Chenglian, so she went to look for the Fifth Prince. As a result, she ran into the Fifth Prince who had hidden a Taoist priest in his residence. The two of them stayed up all night discussing Taoism. The Fifth Prince even asked the Taoist priest how to cultivate to become an immortal! ]

[But I tell you, that Taoist priest is just a charlatan! ]

[At first, the Eighth Princess did not know that the Fifth Prince was discussing Taoism with a Taoist priest. When she saw him chatting with a man by candlelight in the Fifth Prince's room, she thought that the Fifth Prince was gay and could not help but scream, attracting everyone around her! ]

[The scene was a bit chaotic at the time. Later, the emperor called everyone over for questioning. In order to explain that he was not gay, the fifth prince could only reveal his identity as a Taoist priest and why he was there. Only then did the others know that the fifth prince wanted to cultivate immortality! He also wanted to make elixirs! But he didn't dare to do so while he was still living in the palace.]

[By the way, the fifth prince also worshipped the Three Pure Ones in his own room, and kept saying that his surname was Li, and his surname was also Li. He was just worshipping his ancestors, which made the emperor so angry that his face turned green. Hahaha.]

Li Qingyi: Phew.
