I can only say that the princess was unjustly accused, and my son couldn’t help himself.
How dare we ordinary people do such a thing if we don't have to do it as a last resort
After all, in front of the emperor, his son-in-law had already confessed his crime before, and now he changed his confession. Can they be considered guilty of deceiving the emperor
They also hoped that saying this would make their son-in-law suffer less in prison, and the lighter the crime, the better.
A good attitude towards admitting your mistake can also lead to a lighter punishment.
Therefore, there was no resistance when Meng Li wanted to change himself, and everyone was on the same page.
After the men were sent out, Meng Li sat in the study, and Shao Sichen cried outside the door.
Crying and clamoring to see her.
Meng Li feels a little annoyed just thinking about this person now. Shao Sichen doesn't seem to have done anything special, but he is inexplicably unhappy.
He probably accepted the plot and made his first impression of him worse.
But you still have to see it.
It's just a delay to let Shao Sichen cry a little longer.
Suffer more.
But after a while, Meng Li realized that he was not making Shao Sichen suffer, but himself.
I can't listen anymore.
Listening to his melodious cries, it was so painful for my ears.
She asked someone to let Shao Sichen in.
Shao Sichen came in, saw Meng Li, and immediately knelt down and cried:
"Your Highness, please save my mother and fourth sister."
Shao Sichen felt that he was in so much pain that he ran to beg his mother and fourth sister to save the princess some time ago.
Now that my mother and the others are in trouble again, I have to beg Your Highness again.
Fortunately, His Highness is back, otherwise he wouldn't know who to look for.
It's so hard for me.
He didn't even know how things ended up like this. All the misfortunes happened to the people he loved.
Meng Li asked indifferently:
"You asked me to save them?"
Shao Sichen's eyes were red from crying and he nodded.
Meng Li asked again:
"Then do you know why they got into trouble?"
Shao Sichen was silent for a moment. He only wanted to get his fourth sister and his mother out of crisis, and the only person he could think of was the princess.
He felt that the concubine could do something. If the concubine couldn't do anything, who else could
He didn't even have time to think about the reason for the entanglement.
There was no time to think about whether the concubine would agree.
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"Your Highness, do you trust me? My fourth sister and mother will never harm you. There must be some misunderstanding in this."
Meng Li asked:
"You asked me to believe you. Do you believe me?"
Shao Sichen didn't know why, but Meng Li let Shao Sichen understand. She said:
"Before, you really believed that I would do those things. How much trust did you have in me? How can you have the nerve to let me trust you today?"
Only then did Shao Sichen suddenly realize.
There was bitterness in his mouth. At that time, people outside said so, and people around him also said so, and he said it with full assurance.
He really thought His Highness was that kind of person.
But even though His Highness is this kind of person, he accepts it. Doesn’t he love His Highness enough
He insists on love, can't you forgive him for his temporary distrust
At this moment, he felt that his language was extremely pale and he could not find any words to defend himself.
All I can say is:
"I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
Meng Li asked again: "Do you think there can be any misunderstanding between me and the Prime Minister?"
Shao Sichen thought that the other party had forgiven him, so he felt more relaxed. Only his fourth sister and mother were left in his mind, and he said matter-of-factly:
"Your Highness is the wife of my servants, and I think your Highness also knows that they love me very much, so how could they harm you?"
"Is it possible that His Highness can't understand such a simple question?"
Shao Sichen was too anxious and couldn't speak with his brain.
Meng Li nodded:
"I am stupid."
Shao Sichen: "..."
He now realizes that the farthest distance in the world is not that I care about you but you don’t know it, but that I can’t relate to you at all.
He couldn't find the words to respond to His Highness's many words.
This is really sad.
Shao Sichen's body went limp and he collapsed on the ground, looking very weak.
That kind of powerlessness is not only physical, but also comes from deep inside.
Diluting all his other emotions, he murmured:
"Your Highness, I beg you, can you? Your Highness can't bear to see me lose my loved ones?"
Meng Li nodded: "Be patient."
Shao Sichen looked at Meng Li in astonishment:
"Are you so cruel?"
"I am your real husband, Your Highness!"
Shao Sichen's voice was a little sharp, and he looked at Meng Li with eyes that were both condemning and painful.
Meng Li couldn't help but smile when he saw Shao Sichen's appearance.
This is truly the most innocent and "stupid" man she has ever seen.
There is no city, and I can't calm down. It's sad to be born in a big family and grow up like this under the excessive protection of my sisters.
In the plot, Shao Xinglan can always protect Shao Sichen's innocence, but now he can't.
Innocence without someone to protect it will be miserable.
Especially in this environment.
"Do you think your mother and fourth sister are going to die?" Meng Li asked with interest.
Shao Sichen didn't expect such vicious words to come out of the concubine's mouth, and suddenly said with dismay:
"The fourth sister has been imprisoned by the Holy One, and someone has framed my mother. Can they escape unscathed?"
Meng Li said with a smile:
"Then he won't die. Why are you talking about it as if they are about to kill the queen?"
Shao Sichen glanced at Meng Li's face and saw a faint smile on her face. He seemed to have never seen this kind of smile before.
It was also something that was once beyond his reach. How many times had he imagined that the princess would just smile like this at him
Now the princess was smiling, but he felt it was extremely dazzling and hurt his heart.
Now I find that the farthest distance in the world is not that I can't reach you at all.
But I am so anxious that I can't sit still and cry until my heart breaks, but you can still laugh with gloating.
He covered his chest with one hand, as if the pain was unbearable. He took a deep breath and said:
"Does Your Highness hate your servants so much?"
Meng Li still had a smile on his face:
"How come, I don't hate you."
None of the clients hated Shao Sichen. She felt that Shao Sichen was not worthy of her hatred at all.
Hate is also a waste of energy.
Without Shao Xinglan and the Prime Minister, Shao Sichen would be as easy to deal with as an ant to the client. Who would hate an ant
Shao Sichen took another deep breath and asked:
"So His Highness means that nothing will happen to my mother and fourth sister, right?"
Meng Li: "How do I know this?"
Shao Sichen: "..."
He felt a little crazy. What the concubine meant just now was that mother and fourth sister would not be in danger.
He looked at Meng Li desperately, having given up on the idea of communicating smoothly with him.
I just want to be able to communicate, no matter if it's smooth or not.
He still didn't want to believe that his mother and fourth sister would harm the princess. They loved him so much and would never harm the person they loved.
Then he said bitterly to Meng Li:
"Your Highness, please believe that I will serve you once, and they will not harm you."
