Lin Su blinked. "So you came looking for me? I pretended to be dead and hid in the dense forest after avoiding Xie Qian. The mountain path was difficult to walk on, and I accidentally fell into a trap that was meant to catch prey. It was a hunter who found me and rescued me down the mountain. When I woke up, I was already crazy!"

She said it lightly, but only King Li knew how panicked and scared she was at that time.

She was such a delicate girl that she would burst into tears if she bumped into him.

Damn Xie Qian!

He clenched his teeth, and blood oozed from his throat with hatred.

He asked in a serious tone, "How did Xie Qian deal with it?"

After a moment, he thought that Xie Qian was Lin Yiwan's father, so he probably couldn't take his life directly.

His expression suddenly became hesitant, and worry flashed in his eyes.

Lin Su replied: "He was burned to ashes by Zhan Yan. He deserved it. That's what he deserved!"

Although King Li felt very happy, he thought that Zhan Yan's move was very much to his liking.

However, thinking of her daughter, she couldn't help but ask subconsciously, "Did Zhan Yan kill him personally? Wouldn't that bring bad reputation to him and Wanwan?"

Lin Su's eyes flashed with complicated thoughts. She whispered, "Wanwan is not his biological daughter. Xie Qian has never touched me. On our wedding night, he tricked me into unconsciousness. Then he ordered someone to find a drunk to rape me!"

In a flash, Li Wangqi's teeth were bared and his eyes were glaring. He shouted angrily: "Xie Qian, he is despicable!"

Seeing his wound burst open and bleed again, Lin Su nervously comforted him: "Your Highness, don't be angry, Wanwan is fine. No matter who her father is, she is my daughter after all!"

Prince Li looked at her pretty face in sorrow, deeply regretting why he didn't snatch the bride away that day, letting her suffer so much in vain?

He remembered that on her wedding day, he had already been drinking before the banquet even started. Later, when he was drunk, he wanted to see her one last time.

He staggered towards the backyard, and he didn't know how long he walked, but he couldn't find her anywhere.

Until a servant came up to him and asked, "Dear guest, why are you in the backyard?"

He stammered, "I, I'm lost!"

The servant supported him and said, "Okay, I will escort you to the outer courtyard!"

When he woke up, it was already the next day.

Unable to withstand the severe blow, he directly asked the emperor to garrison the border.

The emperor did not agree at that time, and he had already led his troops out of the capital.

Even though he was in the distant Desolate City, he always ordered people to inquire about her. He heard that she had a poor appetite and was very weak since she was pregnant.

He personally made the hot and sour bok choy, a specialty of Cangliang City, and asked the secret guards to escort it all the way to Beijing.

She really loves to eat it, and she is even greedy for it.

He couldn't help laughing. He was still the same greedy cat as before. Since she liked it, he would make some for her every month.

So, while she was pregnant for ten months, he made ten jars of spicy and sour bok choy.

At that time, his hand was accidentally injured during military training, and the military doctor warned him not to touch water.

But when he heard that she was asking the maids to look for spicy and sour cabbage all over the city, he immediately made arrangements.

Even with clean brocade gloves on, the chili pepper and salt water seeped into his wounds, causing him to shiver all over with pain.

But in order to let her eat it, he didn't care at all.

After sending away the jar of spicy and sour cabbage, his palms were completely unsightly.

The military doctor was so angry that he almost jumped off a cliff, and complained that if he didn't cooperate with the treatment, his palm would be crippled.

He turned a deaf ear to it, but was thinking about how to quickly finish next month's work.

However, the following month, news came that she had accidentally given birth prematurely.

He was extremely anxious at the time and wished he could grow wings and fly back to the capital to see with his own eyes whether she was safe and sound!

After several days of anxious waiting, he became extremely haggard.

Fortunately, good news finally came that both mother and daughter were safe.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and slept soundly for a full night.

Later, the secret letter sent by the secret guard said that she stayed in the back house to recuperate and take care of her infant daughter, so he deliberately did not ask for any news about her.

He wanted to let go and bury this concern deep in his heart.

Several months passed like this, and he never expected that he would receive the news of her death.

He rushed to the south like a madman, and when he reached the cliff, he fell down regardless of the danger, but found nothing.

He felt guilty and sad, and wished he could die with her immediately.

His personal soldiers were all kneeling down to beg him, and he happened to receive a secret report that the barbarians were harassing the border while he was away, so he could only return to Cangluang City in despair.

Since then, he has lost hope of living.

Like a living dead in this world!

He vented all his anger on the barbarian soldiers who invaded the border, and he would personally fight against any of them who dared to harass him.

Not for anything else, just to die happily!

This time she was actually seriously injured. He was so happy that he thought he would reunite with Xiaomu in the underworld, but he didn't expect that she was still alive.

Live!

that's nice!

He couldn't help but shout: "Xiao Mu, are you really in front of me? Am I dreaming?"

Lin Su nodded seriously, and after a moment, she boldly shook his hand: "Your Majesty, Xiaomu is indeed in front of you!"

He could no longer suppress the surging thoughts and desires, and held her tightly in his arms.

Lin Su didn't dare to cry, worried that her tears would stain his clothes.

She could only raise her head with difficulty and clumsily patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Prince, Xiaomu is here. Xiaomu will take care of you for the time being!"

King Li nodded happily: "Well, being able to have Xiaomu's care, this injury is worth it!"

Lin Su frowned and reminded: "No matter what, I don't want you to get hurt, because I will be very distressed and sad!"

Just one sentence completely comforted Prince Li, and a deep, unfading smile appeared on his originally pale face.

It just so happened that Emperor Sheng An came with Zhan Yan and his wife, which made Lin Su feel embarrassed. She was so frightened that she immediately pushed Prince Li away and retreated behind Lin Yiwan with her ears red.

Prince Li frowned and glared at Emperor Sheng An, his dissatisfaction evident on his face.

Emperor Sheng An had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak: "Uncle, please don't blame me for disturbing you. I really have something extremely important to confirm with you. Can you see if you recognize this jade pendant?"

Prince Li took it, and after a moment, he asked in astonishment, "Where did you find it? This is my jade pendant, and it's made of the same jade as the one I gave you. Can't you tell the difference?"

Emperor Sheng An replied, "I can't tell, but I still need to confirm it. After all, this involves a huge matter!"

Prince Li frowned, "This is my jade pendant. When I discovered it was lost, I asked my butler to look for it, but I never thought it would be in your hands!"

Emperor Sheng An hastily denied it: "It's not in my hands. I just got it. It was Xie Qian who gave this jade pendant to Zhan Yan. Before he died, he said that the owner of this jade pendant is the Marquis' biological father!"
