Sheng Weiqiao was stunned by Li Shengxu's act!
As a result, she was hit by Li Shengxu's fist in the shoulder and retreated a few steps away. She was a mere delicate girl, after all.
Li Shengxu was also dumbfounded, "Why didn't you sidestep my hit?"
He didn't mean to attack her to begin with. He only wanted to show his strength with that bluff!
Li Shengxu had practiced martial skills under the tutelage of the bodyguard serving in their mansion in the past days. He couldn't make great progress with such a short training, and he had missed the golden age to cultivate martial skills. But still, he managed to enhance the speed of his move, given that he was a young man of vigor... However, he couldn't control his power properly, for which he failed to hold back when noticing that Sheng Weiqiao wasn't intended to dodge.
He got flustered at the tears in Sheng Weiqiao's eyes, "Are... Are you alright? I was expecting you
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao chimed in again and requested Rong Shuihe to take him along, "He's too fragile. If he stays here alone, even a rat can scare him half to death!"Then Rong Shuihe offered reluctantly, "Xi is waiting outside the pine forest. I'll get you out of here and ask him to lend this brat a hand when we see him."Despite the remote location of this forest, several pavilions were built still around it, which coincided with the sumptuous style of the royal house.Though Rong Shuihe had checked Sheng Weiqiao's pulse, he wasn't quite convinced by the result and was thinking about summoning an imperial doctor.While Sheng Weiqiao was neither in a mood nor in a place to make a big deal out of this. She did remember how Li Shengxu had enthralled myriad girls by merely standing under a flowering tree and smiling. Everyone would feel sorry for him at the sight of the wound on his arm, but only Rong Shuihe had seen how
Looking at Li Shengxu's finger poking his nose, Rong Shuihe said faintly, "Yes."Hearing that, Li Shengxu looked at Rong Shuihe incredibly, not daring to believe that Rong Shuihe admitted it.Besides, how could he admit it that justly and forcefully?Li Shengxu could not calm down for a long time.Honestly, he had a good impression of Rong Shuihe. It was not because he had been deeply impressed by Rong Shuihe when meeting him in the Buye Tower. After all, he had been occupied serving Emperor Xuanjing and Consort Shu that night, having no time to care about other people and matters.However, after Rong Shuihe had come back to the Gaomi King Mansion, his identity was made public. Hearing the news, Li Shengxu admired his cousin Rong Shuihe very much. Rong Shuihe, the nephew of the Emperor, had been leading a wandering life for so many years. If an ordinary person encountered that, even if he was lucky enough to liv
As Li Shengxu happened to lay bare his wish, Rong Shuihe was not partial toward Sheng Weiqiao this time but just mediated mildly between them with the reason that Ying had taken the food here.As Ying did not know what they liked, she just took many different kinds of food.Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao did not intend to eat some food, Rong Shuihe asked the servants to back off and came to take a gilded and lovely-white-glazed bowl with the pattern of parrots picking peaches. He filled half the bowl with congee and added some of Sheng Weiqiao's favorite meals to it. Then, he gave it to her and said, "Listen, you need to eat something."Sheng Weiqiao got impatient and tried to push it away. However, she failed in a few attempts as Rong Shuihe held it so steadily. So, she took it with a sullen face and then gave it to Li Shengxu opposite her. She said to him, "You eat it! Be quick! Otherwise, I'll beat you!"Li Shengxu, "..."
Sheng Weiqiao said nothing.And there was only an indifferent look on her face.Li Shengxu did look at her curiously for a moment, but he still failed to figure out what she was thinking.And Rong Shuihe just kept quiet for a moment and then said to Gongsun Xi, "Yichun Marquis, please find another room and have a break there.""No!" Li Shengxu intended to oppose this idea. But he was just a young Marquis who might be defeated by Sheng Weiqiao. Naturally, he was unable to resist a tough man like Gongsun Xi. Right after he uttered a word, Gongsun Xi silenced him by hitting at a point on his body and then dragged him away from the room in a casual way.Now, Rong Shuihe and Sheng Weiqiao were the only people here. After taking a deep breath, Rong Shuihe said in a low voice, "Well, what if I am adopted by the Emperor and Shu Sisters and then become the crown prince? Will you stop worrying all the time that being in a relati
This day, Sheng Weiqiao was reluctant to finish her porridge. What made her irritated most was that Rong Shuihe added more food for her to eat.Seeing her glare towards him, he said calmly, "Normally, you can eat that much. Don't tell me that you cannot eat up your food. If you are not able to do that, I'll feed you.""Why don't you eat it?" Sheng Weiqiao poked her fish strips forcibly with her chopsticks. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "You didn't eat anything at all! How can you ask me to eat that much while you refuse to eat your food?"Rong Shuihe smiled and looked at her. "Sweetie, I'm waiting for you to feed me with the porridge! You are so heartless that you didn't pay attention to me until now!""I won't do that for you!" Sheng Weiqiao's face blushed when she heard that he asked her to "feed" him. She got angry and said, "You may stay starving if you don't want to eat! It would be so nice if you pass
Sheng Weiqiao was astonished after hearing that. She had fallen into the lake with Empress Meng. What was more, they stayed on the island with Gongsun Yingjiang and Gongsun Xi for a long time until Li Shengxu came to pick them up, and then they came to Lian'e House to have a rest.But there was still peace and joy in the Lingbo Palace. The banquet wasn’t affected by their accident at all.It seemed that Shu Sisters had such a capability to hide anything.However, now there was something bad happened in the Lingbo Palace. It needed Empress Meng, who had no real power and had just fallen into the water, to handle with it. It was definitely not an ordinary matter!She straightened up unconsciously and looked at Empress Meng.However, Empress Meng's reaction was very strange. She was melancholy and sorry at first but immediately became helpless and indifferent. After taking a deep breath, she asked, "What happened?"
"He went to see the Grand Princess Wuyang instantly when he got the news." Rong Shuihe understood what Sheng Weiqiao was thinking and then he said, "Bad girl. You don't believe me! I already told you that I would try my best to take everything about you into my consideration. When we were at Lingbo Palace, he invited you to another place to have a talk, so you must be the first suspect once he is dead. Therefore, it is impossible to kill him right now if I really want to do it."Hearing his words, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help thinking, "So he indeed wants to kill Li Shengxu?" She felt ridiculous and said, "Could you please moderate your temper?"She looked around, pulled Rong Shuihe into the main reception hall, and then said in a low voice, "You are the Prince now! The nephew of the Emperor! A royal clan! You can't handle anything in the way that you used to do as a pirate."Rong Shuihe said seriously, "How can you blame me for that? It's all y
Chunlai glanced at Rong Shuihe firstly, and then she said, "Guangling King said he was going to take the responsibility."Sheng Weiqiao had already known that. And that was why Gaomi King left with great anger."The Empress is discussing a follow-up with Guangling King. She asked me to invite you as she heard that you were here." Chunlai looked at Rong Shuihe frequently. It was obvious that she didn't trust Rong Shuihe. So she didn't want to say more in front of him.Sheng Weiqiao took Chunlai aside, and then she asked, "How is the Empress?""I don't know. But I believe she was angry." As an ordinary maid, Chunlai only just realized what the plan of the Meng Family was for, even though she had served the Empress Dowager. But then she understood why Empress Meng would rather disobey the Empress Dowager than try to match Sheng Weiqiao with Li Shengxu instead of Meng Guiyu.Chunlai realized the position of Sheng Weiqiao i
