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

To be honest, when Li Qingyi heard that the fifth prince had a sudden illness, three words subconsciously emerged in his mind - the strategy of inflicting pain on oneself.

If the system was still there, Li Qingyi could ask the system whether this was true.

But rather...

Li Qingyi was suspicious, but when he saw that the emperor was calmer than himself, he felt relieved: "Ah, if it is really a self-torture trick, my father would probably be able to see it."

It seems like she doesn't have to worry about it?

But, the Fifth Prince is his father's biological son after all, and this father always has a filter when it comes to his own son. Even though the emperor does not love the other princes as much as he does the crown prince, he still has fatherly love for him.

What if you know it is a self-torture tactic, but still give in?

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi became even more unhappy - the Fifth Prince had clearly made a mistake, and now he was only under house arrest. Couldn't he tolerate such a small injustice?

But how could she let the emperor know what bad things his good son had done secretly?

From what Li Qingyi said before, at most she could only disgust the other person psychologically. Although she was not a petty person, she was not so broad-minded as to be relieved so easily.

But she wasn't the type of person who was good at palace fighting. She had always lived in a relatively simple environment before and had a lot of theoretical knowledge, but asking her to personally harm others...

She doesn't know where to start!

If she were older, she would be able to do what Seventh Sister did and rush over with a whip and beat the guy up!

While Li Qingyi was thinking about it, the emperor had already learned the situation from the palace servants. He stood up with Li Qingyi and said calmly: "In this case, I and the eleventh princess will go to visit you."

Li Qingyi came back to his senses: "Huh?"

visit?

She didn't want to. She didn't want to see the Fifth Prince at all now!

The emperor lowered his eyes and gave Li Qingyi a gentle smile: "Yier, come with me to take a look."

Since his own father had said so, although Li Qingyi was a little reluctant, he changed his mind and wanted to see how the Fifth Prince's self-torture trick would perform, so he nodded obediently.

I thought the emperor would be anxious, but unexpectedly, the emperor did not hold Li Qingyi this time. Instead, he put her down, held her hand, and walked slowly according to Li Qingyi's small steps.

Li Qingyi always felt that the emperor's reaction was not right.

After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look up at the emperor.

Take a few steps and take a look.

Finally, the emperor asked, "Are you tired, Yi'er?"

Li Qingyi shook his head: "Not tired."

The emperor walked at her pace. They had only walked for a while when they turned around and could see the Qianqing Palace. How could she, a baby who had already started to exercise secretly, get tired so easily?

After walking for a while, Li Qingyi finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, aren't you worried?"

The emperor heard this and chuckled, "I thought you wouldn't ask."

Li Qingyi: "I'm really curious."

Emperor: "I am not worried, but I am not a doctor. Even if you go early or late, there is nothing I can do."

After a pause, the emperor continued, "Besides, Li Cong did something wrong, and I haven't figured out how to punish him yet. It's really a coincidence that he got sick at this time."

What he meant was that he thought Li Cong's illness was most likely a self-torture tactic, so there was no need to rush.

Well, he might even be a little angry. After all, if the Fifth Prince was really using this as a self-torture tactic, the timing was somewhat like treating the Emperor like a fool.

Li Qingyi blinked his eyes. He couldn't say he was happy about what the emperor said, but he also felt inexplicably relieved.

Yes, if the emperor behaved too ruthlessly, she would also be worried.

When the father and daughter finally arrived at the Fifth Prince's residence, Huang Kang first went in to see the imperial physician who was still inside. After learning that the Fifth Prince was not suffering from any contagious disease, he came out to explain the situation to the Emperor.

Then, the emperor bent down and picked up Li Qingyi, and the father and daughter went into the house.

The first thing Li Qingyi saw was the beautiful lady in palace dress sitting beside the bed. She was sitting slightly sideways on the bed. Her face was haggard and her eyes were slightly red. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiping the corners of her eyes. She looked very pitiful...

She recognized the other person's identity at the first moment, Concubine Shu.

Li Qingyi was silent.

She didn't understand anything else. She only knew one thing, that was Concubine Shu's sitting posture, which seemed to be beautiful in every move. Well... Li Qingyi didn't believe that she didn't do it on purpose.

Li Qingyi looked at the emperor again.

However, what made Li Qingyi happy was that the emperor's expression did not change at all, as if he did not see the state of Concubine Shu at the moment, and he said lightly: "When did Concubine Shu come?"

Concubine Shu's body stiffened slightly.

As if she had just realized that the emperor had arrived, Concubine Shu stood up and saluted, bowing gracefully, looking weak and pitiful.

Then, Concubine Shu waited for a long time, but the emperor didn't call her.

Concubine Shu: "..."

Li Qingyi: "..."

It appeared, the legendary salute is not called!

The emperor did not approach the bed, but just glanced at it from a distance and asked the imperial physician about the fifth prince's current condition.

The imperial physician was sweating profusely at this moment, and his speech was a little stammering. He said a series of words that Li Qingyi could not understand very well, and the final conclusion was: "... You need to stay in bed and recuperate."

The emperor's eyes fell on the imperial physician indifferently. After a moment, he smiled suddenly and said, "Really? Then the Fifth Prince will be in your care for the time being, Imperial Physician Fang."

Imperial physician: "..."

Li Qingyi: "..."

I always feel that there is something in the words.

But she didn't understand.

At this moment, she suddenly began to realize the importance of the system. Without Xiao Ba, she felt that her IQ had dropped a lot!

Information is indeed very important!

After that, the emperor did not stay here for long. He ordered the palace servants to serve the fifth prince well and left with Li Qingyi.

As for Concubine Shu...ah, I forgot.

Li Qingyi began to suspect that the emperor also knew something, which was why he treated Concubine Shu and her son like this.

Or, for the emperor, it was a serious matter for a prince to be associated with a Taoist priest?

Li Qingyi: I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I’m confused.

Afterwards, Li Qingyi did not follow the emperor back to the imperial study, but returned to Kunning Palace.

She thought about it for a while, and finally confirmed that she really didn't have that kind of idea. The emperor didn't ask her to keep it a secret, so Li Qingyi ran to the queen for advice.

"Shufei..." After listening to Li Qingyi's description, the Queen pondered for a moment and said, "Your father would not normally be so disrespectful to others. In this case, Shufei and the Fifth Prince must have done something to anger your father, but he couldn't show his anger in public, so he did this."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so just pretend you know nothing."

Li Qingyi: “Ah.”

Could it be that her father really knew?
