Chapter 2640 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
Shi Li subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when he met Aunt Lin's expectant eyes, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
In Aunt Lin's opinion, being able to help her with some needlework might make her feel more at ease. The idea of her humble status had long been deeply rooted in her bones and blood.
Shi Li is not a saint and cannot save everyone. The only person she can take care of first is herself.
To the best of your ability, rescue others.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Aunt Lin." Shi Li smiled at her and nodded to indicate her agreement.
Aunt Lin was indeed surprised and delighted, and her face looked more lively.
However, when Liushui pushed Shi Li into the house, he couldn't help but sigh, "The young lady has changed a lot recently."
"Maybe I've grown up suddenly and figured out a lot of things."
Shi Li blinked at her and smiled, "If you need anything, remember to tell me. We have been together for many years and are the closest people."
"Miss, I have nothing else to ask for. Please don't test me." Liushui's eyes flickered and he laughed along with her.
But everyone has visions and desires, and it is impossible to have nothing else to ask for. Shi Li did not say much, but took off the hairpins on her head and yawned slightly.
On the other side, Prime Minister Shi was busy all the time. He changed into his official uniform and went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
In the hall, the emperor was talking to the prince.
Hearing the eunuch come to report that the prime minister wanted to see him, he was not surprised. It was clear that a few hours ago, the prime minister was anxiously asking the emperor to let him go, and he wanted to go back to see his beloved daughter, and he was in a hurry to leave.
And he came back so soon?
The emperor was a little curious and glanced at the prince next to him.
The prince smiled gently, "I don't know the reason either."
"You know nothing all day long. You don't know what's going on outside, nor do you know what's going on in the Eastern Palace. I asked you when I could become a grandfather, but you still didn't know."
The emperor kept muttering to himself about his dissatisfaction with the prince, but that did not stop him from asking the eunuch to summon the prime minister.
The prince was used to the emperor's nagging, so he just stood there and listened silently, without refuting or saying anything.
As a result, when the Prime Minister came in, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears, which scared the emperor who was looking forward to becoming a grandfather and the prince who knew nothing.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision for me! My first wife died early, leaving only Li'er, my little flesh and blood, in the world. It's a pity that my Li'er is not loved, and I have no problem raising her for the rest of her life. But her filial piety is being taken advantage of, Your Majesty, please make a decision... If anything happens to Li'er, I will not live!"
The prime minister knelt on the ground and cried, and the emperor and the prince were numb.
They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
In the end, the crown prince walked over first and helped Prime Minister Shi up, "Prime Minister, please stand up quickly. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Why do this?"
The prince thought that his father, the emperor, who kept talking about him having children, was weird enough, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Shi also had this side of him. The prince was very shocked in his heart.
"Yes, Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, please speak up. How can you behave like this?"
The emperor pressed his temples with a headache, shocked by Prime Minister Shi's sudden action.
Prime Minister Shi stood up on the steps given by the prince, wiped his face with his sleeve without any hesitation, and then told the emperor and the prince about Shi Li's experience on the mountain with indignation and sorrow.
Of course, even though he knew that the matter was closely related to the Third Prince, Prime Minister Shi did not mention it. Anyway, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would investigate it themselves, so he would not try to sow discord between them.
After hearing this, the emperor fell silent, which was unusual for him, with his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).
Even if he didn't care about the fact that the third prince had a premature birth in the temple, the people below had already reported it. Although Prime Minister Shi didn't mention a word about it, the emperor was not stupid, so how could he not make the connection?
He secretly glanced at the prince next to him again.
This biological son still looked as if it had nothing to do with me, as if he didn’t care at all that his younger brother had rebellious intentions.
The emperor felt unhappy. He looked at Prime Minister Shi who was waiting for him to make the decision and couldn't help but said, "I know you love your daughter very much. Don't worry, I won't let your daughter suffer any injustice! If it really doesn't work, let the prince marry her!"
Prime Minister Shi: ...
Prince:......
Seeing the two men's faces change drastically, the emperor felt a little relieved, but the third prince was completely entrenched in his heart.
"I have only one daughter, and I only hope that she will be safe and happy. Your Majesty, please have mercy on her." Of course, Prime Minister Shi would not want Shi Li to marry the prince. Isn't this just making a fuss?
The prince was also unwilling, but it was not because he looked down on Shi Li's leg disease, but because he did not want to wrong Prime Minister Shi and his daughter.
Don't let the marriage end up not being a marriage but becoming enemies instead.
