Mr. Su himself also knows that his current behavior is disgusting.
But I always do what is best for the whole family.
I can't think that if I don't make His Majesty particularly fond of me in the court, I can't fit anyone in the harem.
If this is the case, what hope does he have for his own life?
"Your Majesty, although my concubine is said to be of low status, her appearance and talents are of the highest quality. Her Majesty will definitely be very happy if she enters the palace."
The adults who usually couldn't stand Master Su naturally couldn't bear it after hearing such words, and started to curse Master Su.
"Master Su, your legitimate daughter's body is still cold. Now you dare to say such things. Aren't you afraid that your legitimate daughter will be heartbroken?"
"Yes, when the late emperor granted me the marriage, you were absolutely unhappy. Isn't it because His Majesty was named the King of Shu? Now you are like this, and you don't want your bad face."
"I feel really sad for your daughter-in-law. Her own funeral has not been taken care of yet, and this is what happened to her."
"..."
Listening to the voices of those ministers criticizing him, Mr. Su did not dare to speak at this moment.
After all, this matter is really at my fault.
"Okay, let's not discuss this matter for now. I'm a little tired today, so you can all leave first."
After waving to the courtiers, Li Ke returned to his study.
Looking at Xiaorou who had been absent-minded today, Li Ke couldn't help but ask questions.
"Xiaorou, what's wrong with you today? There's no water in my tea cup. Do you want to kill me with thirst?"
After hearing what Li Ke said, Xiaorou reacted belatedly.
After filling up the tea for Li Ke and just about to leave, Li Ke grabbed Xiaorou, held her in his arms, and asked in a low voice.
"Xiaorou, what's wrong with you today? You don't look particularly happy?"
"If something happens to you, just tell me and don't hold it in your heart. If you do, I'll be very distressed."
When Xiaorou heard Li Ke and she said these words very gently, she felt very guilty in her heart.
Because he had already lied to Li Ke from the beginning.
I don't even know how to talk to Li Ke now and tell the real thing.
"If you want to say something, just tell me everything. If you don't want to say it, I will never force you."
Xiaorou, who was still struggling, put down all the worries in her heart after hearing these words.
"Your Majesty, actually the concubine Master Su is talking about today is me. My real name is Su Rou."
Li Ke was dumbfounded after hearing this.
He never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this.
"Then you are already in the palace. Why did Mr. Su still say that he would send you to the palace today? Could it be that the two of you were colluding from the beginning?"
After hearing this, Xiaorou quickly shook her head.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. I never thought about these things from the beginning."
"I only found out today that my father actually wanted to send me to the palace."
"My father still doesn't know that I have entered the palace."
"I was young at the time and my wife didn't like me, so she sent me to Zhuangzi to be raised. Because my mother was not loved by my father, she didn't care about me at all these years."
"Later, I couldn't bear the beatings and scolding of those maids anymore. I ran out of the village in a rage, and then I met you, Your Majesty. I have never told my father about this matter."
After hearing Xiaorou explain the whole thing clearly, Li Ke felt very sorry for the little man in his arms.
I don't even dare to think about what kind of wandering life she would be living now if I hadn't met her at that time.
"Your Majesty, I have no doubts about you. If you don't believe it, I can ask myself to leave the palace. But then you must find yourself a close person. You must not worry me."
Li Ke was not particularly suspicious of Xiaorou, because along the way, Li Ke took everything Xiaorou did into his heart.
Therefore, after Xiaorou said that she was leaving, Li Ke held her tightly in his arms.
"I never doubted you from beginning to end. I was just curious, so I asked you."
"Xiaorou, you must not leave. I have lived for so many years, and it is so difficult to find someone I like. Please don't leave. I don't even dare to think about you leaving. Afterwards, I will be so miserable."
After Li Ke said this to himself, he suddenly felt that he understood Li Zhi somewhat.
After all, Li Zhi has done so much, isn’t it because he particularly loves Wu Meiniang?
Now that I think about it carefully, Li Zhi actually didn't do anything wrong.
"Xiaorou, I want to go around the late emperor's palace. Do you want to go with me?"
Seeing her not particularly decent appearance, Xiaorou shook her head firmly.
"Your Majesty, go ahead, I'm not ready yet."
Li Ke did not embarrass Xiaorou after hearing this.
After arranging everything, I went to Li Shimin's place with great confidence.
"Father."
Seeing that his little son has grown so big now, Li Shimin has mixed feelings in his heart.
I am both happy and disgusted.
I am happy that my son is like me and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the entire country.
But the bad thing is, this brat is very annoying.
It was because of the persecution of this brat that I was forced to abdicate.
"That daughter of the Su family, you ordered your servants to do this, right?"
Li Ke raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
"Father, I think you know quite well how much the Su family did back then. Now I am just treating others in their own way, and there is nothing excessive."
Li Shimin burst out laughing after hearing this.
This one of mine is exactly the same as me, why didn't I realize that he was still like this?
If I had discovered it earlier, how could I have let that good-for-nothing Li Zhi sit on the throne for so long?
If Li Ke had been given the position of prince earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles.
