The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

[Okay, host... host, be careful! ]

The moment the system's voice suddenly became sharp, Lin Qi subconsciously looked at Li Yunzhi and his son, only to see that they didn't move at all.

In her suspicion, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and then fainted.

After she collapsed on the chair, the secret guard who suddenly appeared and knocked her unconscious picked her up and told Li Yun, "The Emperor has something important to discuss and needs to see the beautiful lady immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Yunzhi to react, the secret guard carried Lin Qi and rushed out.

After the secret guards who had appeared earlier had also left, Li Yan came to his senses and looked towards the screen to the side. He lowered his voice and said, "The emperor was probably here too, so Xiaoshu's words before leaving were directly addressed to the emperor..."

After a pause, he asked, "Father, where do you think the Emperor is taking the chess beauty after he had her knocked unconscious? And what is he going to do to her?"

Li Yunzhi didn't say anything.

Based on his understanding of the emperor, the emperor would do this after listening to Lin Qi's conversation with them. He must want to use tough measures to confirm whether Lin Qi has any hidden tricks.

He had no idea what the emperor would do to Lin Qi after he figured out whether he could still squeeze out value from her.

After pushing him out of the palace, Li Yan asked him again, "Did Father really have sex with Lin Yihuan several times in order to keep Mother, as my eldest brother told us?"

Li Yunzhi's hands on his legs suddenly tightened, "What do you want to ask?"

Li Yan was silent for a long time before he asked again, "Does father really love mother?"

"Of course! Anyone can question my feelings for Azhi, but you can't!"

"When Mother passed away, you truly demonstrated grief and despair in front of us and everyone else. But Father, if you truly loved Mother, you would never have used such a method to keep her! And even if you loved her too much and used the wrong method in a moment of desperation, you wouldn't have done such a dirty thing so close to her, let alone let her hear you..."

"That's enough! Shut up! Of course I love Azhi! How could I not love Azhi? I was just deceived and used the wrong method, and was bewitched by the devil and fell into it!"

Li Yunzhi interrupted Li Yan almost hysterically, causing many people to look at them father and son.

Li Yan tightened his grip on the wheelchair several times before calling the driver over. Together, they lifted Li Yunzhi and the wheelchair onto the carriage. Standing under the carriage, he said to Li Yunzhi, "Father knows how unreliable my third and fourth brothers are. I'm really worried about them. I'll be leaving for the border tomorrow. Take care of yourself, father."

After he finished speaking, he gave the driver a look and turned to go in the opposite direction of their general's mansion.

Li Yunzhi could probably guess that he was going to the Eastern Palace to find the prince.

After all, Shen'er and Xing'er were arranged by the prince to go to the border. If he wanted to stay with them, the prince had to make arrangements.

When he had asked Jin'er and Yan'er to go to the border as well, they had said that it was impossible for them to leave Beijing without him in his current state...

Was it Lin Qi's words today that made Yan'er completely disappointed in him as a father?

So after Jin'er knows this, he should also go to the border like Yan'er, right?

However, after Li Jin sent Li Yan away the next day, he was still busy with trivial matters and taking care of him day after day.

But I rarely talk to him anymore.

A month passed in a flash.

The weather is gradually getting warmer.

Madam Rigui and Qinghong Cuiwei were holding up new clothes for Li Shu to examine one by one when Jingzhe came in carrying a wet cat. "Miss, this stupid cat climbed up the tree to catch sparrows again, and then fell into the water again."

Li Shu couldn't help laughing as she looked at Zhizhi, who was holding the baby with drooping ears in Jingzhe's hand.

The little guy has become more and more plump recently.

Even though it was soaked, it still looked round.

He blurted out, "Punish it by not allowing it to eat fish for three days."

The little guy seemed to understand and meowed in a very aggrieved tone.

Aunt Gui quickly smiled and spoke up for it, "We only have a hobby of catching sparrows. Let's have someone move the trees that the sparrows love to somewhere else."

Li Shu had no objection to that.

But he casually added, "It's a good thing I don't plan to have children in the future, otherwise, you would definitely have spoiled me into having some troublesome little devils."

"That's impossible. I watched the young lady grow up. She didn't become a troublemaker, so her child will definitely not..."

Before she could finish her words, Nanny Gui suddenly remembered the twin boy and girl in Li Shu's dream, which hurt Li Shu deeply, and she quickly stopped talking.

When Lin Yuan came in from outside, he only heard the last half of Aunt Gui's sentence, and there was some doubt in his eyes when he looked at Li Shu.

Don’t you want children, young lady?

Why is Aunt Gui talking about the young lady’s child?

He's already taking medicine that will make him infertile...

Li Shu saw the doubt in his eyes, smiled, and asked him, "You've picked up so many orphans. You must really like children, right? Do you want to..."

"Do not want to."

"I haven't even finished asking!"

"..."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then went straight to Li Shu and reported, "Lin Qi returned to Jinxiu Palace today. After I got the news, I went to the palace to take a look. Compared to a month ago, Lin Qi is no longer in human form."

That was what Li Shu had expected, so she calmly ordered, "Take her out of the palace."

As soon as she entered the main hall of Jinxiu Palace that day, Lin Yuan told her that Yin Su was behind the screen, so she said those words before leaving.

She knew that given Yin Su's suspicious nature, she would never let Lin Qi fall into her hands before figuring out whether Lin Qi was still useful to her.

And this month's torture was what Lin Qi deserved.

In the dream, she suffered for many years because of Lin Qi!

But even though she had been mentally prepared when she heard the words "not in human form" from Lin Yuan, she was still shocked when she saw Lin Qi.

In just one month, the originally plump Lin Qi had become so thin that she looked unrecognizable.

Even his face was covered with various scars and bruises.

The pair of hands that used to be fair and delicate had become swollen and purple, and there were several wounds deep enough to see the bones.

Only those eyes, which were instantly filled with hatred and anger when he saw her, remained the same as they were a month ago.

"Yes...I underestimated...you..."

"That day you... guessed... what the Emperor would do to me... that's why I said..."

Lin Qi spoke incoherently.

The pronunciation is not very clear.

Li Shu couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "Yes, but the degree to which the emperor treated you was far beyond my expectations. It seems that you didn't work hard enough in serving the emperor before, so the emperor didn't show you any mercy at all."

Lin Qi glared at Li Shu fiercely.

She had long known how cruel the emperor could be when he turned against her.

So she had prepared a deadly poison in the system warehouse long ago.

So that he can end his life if the situation gets bad after taking revenge.

But the emperor suddenly had her arrested, interrogated and tortured. How could she possibly commit suicide when she hadn't even taken her revenge yet?

But that was only the first few days.

Soon she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to die.

She even fantasized that God would have mercy on her again and give her another chance to be resurrected after her death.

However, at the critical moment, her system stabbed her hard and unilaterally terminated the contract with her!

Coincidentally, just as she was about to vomit blood due to being angry about the system, Li Shu asked her, "Isn't your system the so-called main system? Isn't it very powerful? How could I watch you being tortured into this state?"
