Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder! Chapter 337 - 3: Princess (Part 3)
Li Shuning’s eyelids twitched slightly, and the next mont, Li Shuning opened her eyes. Her gaze was unfocused, looking quite bewildered.
After all, having been an award-winning actress in another world, she naturally possessed so acting skills.
The Emperor, however, was very excited in his heart; Xiao Six pulled through, how wonderful.
Seeing Xiao Six’s pale face and drenched appearance earlier had pained him deeply. This was the daughter he had always liked and cherished, and yet soone had bullied her to this extent.
"Xiao Six, look at Father, Xiao Six."
The Emperor held Li Shuning’s hand and gently called to her.
When Li Shuning’s eyes finally had focus, she saw the Emperor, and the next mont, her eyes brimd with tears.
Li Shuning struggled to sit up: "Sob, Father, Father, Xiao Six thought she wouldn’t see Father again, sob."
Li Shuning threw herself into the Emperor’s arms.
The Emperor felt as if his heart was lting. When the child was born, he held the tiny Xiao Six, his heart full of joy. When did this child start to grow distant from him?
"There, there, it’s all right now. It’s Father’s fault for only being focused on dealing with state affairs and forgetting to care for Xiao Six. Father will protect Xiao Six and won’t let anyone harm her again."
Holding the Sixth Princess, the Emperor, having regained sothing precious, felt much better.
"Father, these past few days, Xiao Six felt only a heaviness in her head, but Xiao Six knows everything that happened outside. Xiao Six knows Father ca to see Xiao Six eleven tis, and got angry several tis. Xiao Six knows Father likes her and cares about her. Father, does Brother not like Xiao Six anymore? Why did Brother co only once after Xiao Six’s accident and never again after that?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor felt displeased.
Shuchen and Shuning are twins. As a brother, while his sister was in such danger these past days, he only visited on the day of the incident and didn’t co to see her afterward. What kind of brother is this? So heartless.
However, it wasn’t suitable to show anger in front of Xiao Six right now.
Touching Li Shuning’s forehead, the Emperor smiled and said, "Silly girl, your Brother has to go study. How can he co to see you every day? Don’t pout, your mouth can hang a few pounds of at."
At the ntion of at, Li Shuning covered her stomach, and the next mont, there was a growling sound. Li Shuning’s face turned red: "Father, Xiao Six is hungry."
The Emperor laughed heartily: "Li Fu, go get sothing to eat for the Sixth Princess, sothing light."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Fu also hurriedly ran out; the princess was awake, and the Emperor’s temper had passed. The low pressure from the Emperor these past days was terrifying.
The people to attend to the princess hadn’t been chosen yet; according to the Emperor’s emphasis on the princess, it seed urgent to have it settled. Otherwise, it wouldn’t do to have no one to serve her.
In the sleeping quarters, the Emperor, worried about Li Shuning’s weak spirit, had a large bolster placed behind her for more comfort.
Father and daughter, one with an intention to grow closer, the other with feelings of guilt, shared a pleasant atmosphere.
However, Li Shuning was indeed weak, and after speaking for a while, she leaned back.
Soon, soone brought over scallion porridge and so small dishes.
Li Shuning’s sole personal palace maid also ca over to serve her the porridge.
Taking this opportunity, the Emperor sent soone to investigate the Eldest Prince to see what he had been up to recently.
Li Shuning’s previous words had left him with so unease.
Li Shuning went to play in the Imperial Garden that day, but it was suggested by soone around her; otherwise, in such cold weather, she wouldn’t have gone out.
Yet, a large group of people couldn’t keep an eye on one child, and so everyone who went out that day was executed by beating.
Only Shao Yao, who was unwell and stayed at Pingteng Palace on that day, escaped this disaster.
At this mont, Shao Yao, feeding Li Shuning the porridge, is none other than her.
However, this Shao Yao wasn’t a good person.
She was soone who tried to climb the social ladder, and in the plot, she was on the side of the Eldest Prince. Li Shuning trusted her, yet she often leaked Li Shuning’s information to the Eldest Prince, and frequently whispered about the difficulties faced by the Eldest Prince to Li Shuning.
Li Shuning’s eyes flickered as she glanced at Shao Yao, who was carefully feeding her porridge, her eyes full of concern.
She looked like soone utterly loyal.
This body, after all, was young and had suffered so much, and after drinking the porridge, she felt drowsy. The Imperial Physician also ca, felt her pulse, and sighed in relief.
He prescribed so dicine, which was quickly brewed, and after drinking it, Li Shuning fell asleep again.
The Emperor also left with his people.
When Li Shuning woke up again, she saw the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince was sowhat chubby, his face full of worry, seemingly very concerned about Li Shuning.
Li Shuning sneered inwardly yet did not show it on her face: "Brother, Xiao Six thought she was going to see Mother this ti."
"Silly sister, you shouldn’t say things like that. In this Imperial Palace, Brother has only you as his dearest kin. If sothing happened to you, what would Brother do?" To be honest, the Eldest Prince overstepped a bit with this remark.
Li Shuning kept her head down: "Then why haven’t you co to see these past days, Brother?"
The Eldest Prince felt a pang of panic; seeing Li Shuning not waking up, he thought she might not make it. He had resolved to feign strength by continuing his studies with the Grand Tutor, thinking the Father Emperor might feel more sympathy for his plight that way. Being young, his handling of matters had not been too mature; now he found himself sowhat flustered.
"Sister, Brother wanted to see you very much, but Father assigned a lot of howork. In this Imperial Palace, without a Mother, many are eyeing us. You being pushed into the water was soone making a move against us. We must beco strong to have the power to protect ourselves."
"Sister, Father loves you the most. After Mother left, you dwelt in sorrow, and that’s why you grew distant from Father, allowing the palace’s malcontents to bully you. Look at how others have even been withholding your rations and clothing. This ti they dared to harm you directly. Sister, we must beco strong, and we mustn’t let others have their way."
Listening to Li Shuchen, Li Shuning just kept her head down, not speaking.
Genuinely anxious, Li Shuchen thought, this little sister always listened to him. Why wasn’t she responding now? Did soone talk ill of him in front of her?
At this point, Li Shuning lifted her head, eyes filled with determination and confusion: "Brother, what should I do?"
Li Shuchen was overjoyed: "Sister, your main task right now is to win Father over more while he’s concerned about you."
Blah blah blah, Li Shuchen went on for quite a while.
With a smile on her lips, Li Shuning appeared clever and sensible, reassuring the Eldest Prince.
His Imperial Sister was still the sa, reliant and trusting toward him.
Li Shuchen left, and Li Shuning, watching Shao Yao follow him out with her eyes, was full of ridicule.
