"What has changed? Is it an extra eye or an extra mouth?"
Su Qiao pretends to be confused while pretending to understand.
"My lord, are you... are you angry because of that little bastard Li Ruo?"
Li Sang still doesn't want to believe that she has no affection for him at all.
"Li Ruo? What does it have to do with her?"
Su Qiao looked innocent, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
Li Sang pressed the red corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, lowered his head guiltily, and said with a deep apology in his voice:
"My lord, this matter is my fault. I didn't investigate it carefully, so I almost harmed Aran. Now, Ling'er has fallen in love with her and wants to marry her desperately. This can be regarded as my retribution!"
Now that he has shown his cards, Su Qiao can no longer pretend not to understand.
"What's wrong with retribution? It's just a trivial matter, so why does it involve retribution?"
"I think Li Ruo is quite good. Ling'er is good to marry her. The Li family is your mother's family, so she will love Ling'er like her own son. This marriage is a match made in heaven, and it couldn't be more suitable."
Li Sang: "..."
At this point, even if he was angry, he could only hold it in.
After all, he was indeed at fault in this matter.
Now, his most important thing is to find the reason for her change and save her.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that is just a small thing?"
"Of course."
Su Qiao looked arrogant.
"Young and frivolous, it's not a big deal. I think I even ran away to Northwest Military Camp back then."
Li Sang frowned slightly, unable to tell whether what she said was true or false, but he could only follow her words.
"Hearing what the prince said, I feel that my worries are unfounded."
"Your Majesty has a broad mind, which I really admire. It is also my blessing."
Su Qiao was noncommittal and did not answer the call.
Li Sang was quiet for a moment, pretending to be very natural and asked, "What has the prince been busy with recently?"
"What can I be busy with, other than those things in the court?"
Su Qiao responded lukewarmly.
Li Sang asked tentatively, "I heard that someone outside is spreading the news that Ying'er advocates increasing taxes. Does the prince know?"
"Oh? Really?"
Su Qiao raised his eyebrows and slowly turned Jade Thumb Ring.
"I've been a little busy lately, but I haven't heard of it. Why, Ying'er is bothering you about this?"
"It seems that her thinking is still not mature enough. She can't even handle such a small matter, and she wants to bother you and make you worry."
Li Sang was afraid that she would use this as an excuse to take the government back, so he quickly defended. "It's not Ying'er, I heard about it accidentally."
"Ying'er has just come into contact with political affairs. He did handle some things improperly. Please pay more attention to me, Your Majesty."
He can pretend not to know, Su Qiao can certainly also pretend to be polite.
"Don't worry, with me watching, nothing will happen."
Li Sang looked relieved and said with a gentle smile, "Yes, with you here, I have nothing to worry about."
"Thanks to the prince, the court has been much quieter recently, and Ying'er has been handling government affairs much more smoothly."
Quiet?
Haha, it is indeed quiet.
Some of the little bugs have been plucked out, and the ones left are either hers, or they have the handle in her hand. She didn't say anything. Who dares to show off in the court?
Su Qiao glanced at him meaningfully. "Don't worry, I will get rid of some people who hinder her, so that she can successfully take over the affairs of the government."
"..." Li Sang almost choked to death.
Those people who have been dealt with recently are all Ying'er people. Where is the obstacle?
