v1c7: Cannon Fodder Who Seeks Death [7]

Su Tang's timing for entering the palace was impeccable. It was just as the court session ended. As the civil and military officials exited the palace gates, they saw the An Prince, who hadn't been seen for a long time, disembarking from the carriage.

The An Prince was blessed with exceptionally good looks. A smile made him appear dashing and unrestrained, while a neutral expression gave him an air of ethereal beauty. He was devastatingly handsome. Because of this, many young ladies who had seen him wished to marry him. However, no official dared to have such a son-in-law.

The An Prince was used to being arrogant and willful. He got off the carriage without acknowledging anyone. However, even if he ignored others, others still had eyes.

For example, Zhou Wei, the emperor's most trusted eunuch, and the head of the Imperial Hospital.

"Your Highness, please slow down. It's a little cold today. Don't trip and fall. His Majesty will scold this old slave again." Zhou Wei saw the An Prince's large strides and recalled how he had suddenly fainted yesterday. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The head physician was even more direct. He stroked his chin and said seriously, "Perhaps we should go back and ask His Majesty to send a sedan chair. The An Prince's health is weak and he's not suited for strenuous activity."

Ordinary people in the palace were not allowed to use sedan chairs. Didn't they see that even the officials had to walk? Only the emperor could grant permission. The head physician dared to say such a thing because he had considered another factor. The An Prince was actually a woman. This was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. However, judging from the emperor's attitude, it was hard to say what would happen.

The two of them spoke earnestly, but the officials were confused.

Su Tang's face was a little pale. This was the system's doing. But the officials misunderstood her paleness, and some even dared to look down!

"This prince is not that weak!" Su Tang said angrily, then flicked his sleeves and left.

Inside the imperial study, Qin Li listened to the shadow guard's description of what had happened at the palace gate. The corner of his mouth twitched into a strange smile.

The shadow guard couldn't decipher that smile and kept his head lowered, not daring to make a sound until the emperor waved him away.

Su Tang arrived quickly. It wasn't long before Qin Li heard footsteps outside the hall.

He granted permission for the person to enter, but even after Su Tang bowed respectfully, he didn't tell him to rise.

Su Tang was mentally prepared. After yesterday's unpleasant encounter, Qin Li would definitely try to torment him. Look, he even had the imperial physician on standby, afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Qin Li lowered his head and reviewed the memorials in his hand. When he was almost done, he finally seemed to remember Su Tang.

Qin Li's mood was unpredictable. He could be in a good mood one second and order someone killed the next. Therefore, no one dared to guess his thoughts. The people who served him were always on tenterhooks.

However, Su Tang was extremely calm. After yesterday's events, she felt that before he figured out certain things, he wouldn't kill her.

"An Qing's kneeling posture is much better than yesterday." Qin Li said slowly, finally allowing her to rise.

Su Tang had been kneeling for a long time, and she hadn't eaten breakfast. When she stood up abruptly, her vision darkened. She barely managed to steady herself when she heard a cold laugh from above.

"An Qing, your body is truly more delicate than a woman's. You can't even stand after kneeling for a while. If I were to be stricter, wouldn't you lose your life?"

He spoke casually, but Su Tang felt that this madman might do something unpredictable.

Therefore, without thinking, she knelt down again. Her knees should be bruised by now, but she had blocked off her pain receptors, so she couldn't feel anything.

"This official's poor health has caused Your Majesty to worry. It's my fault."

Qin Li didn't expect her to say that. She had actually twisted his sarcastic remark into concern.

He wanted to torment her, but he couldn't find a suitable method for the time being, so he simply kept her by his side every day.

According to the information he had received, there was a secret force operating not only in the capital but also in other parts of the country. This force was powerful. If it was truly her, it was entirely possible for her to escape right under his nose.

Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed. He had never taken his brothers seriously because they were all trash, not worth mentioning. But what if it was her? What would she do if he pushed her too far?

It was as if Qin Li had found himself a worthy opponent. He suddenly became interested. A glint of darkness flashed in his dark eyes.

Su Tang shuddered. It felt like she was being targeted by a ferocious beast, with nowhere to escape.

She frowned, about to say something, when Qin Li, in a moment of madness, suddenly walked up to her and helped her up.

"Since you know that I'm worried, why didn't you eat breakfast?" He said with a smile and ordered someone to serve them food.

This sudden concern, especially his strange smile, made Su Tang's scalp tingle.

What is this dog emperor up to now?

The food was served quickly, but as Su Tang looked at the delicacies on the table, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Qin Li sat at the side and saw that she wasn't moving. He raised an eyebrow. "You don't like it?" Seeing that she didn't respond, he said indifferently, "Have everyone who worked in the imperial kitchen today dragged out and beheaded."

Su Tang was going crazy. She had only hesitated for a moment, thinking that the dog emperor had suddenly become agreeable. He must have tampered with the food. He probably wouldn't poison her. She didn't have long to live anyway. But with his vile personality, what if he had done something to the ingredients? For example, what if those little meatballs were actually made of human flesh? He would wait until she finished eating and then slowly explain it to her…

"Wait, this official didn't say I wouldn't eat. It's just…"

"Just what?" Qin Li's voice was cold, as if he would drag her out and behead her along with those imperial cooks if she said the wrong thing.

Su Tang felt a chill down her spine. She had thought that she wouldn't die, but now that she thought about how crazy he could be, he might just lose his patience and kill her without bothering to investigate.

"Your Majesty hasn't touched your chopsticks yet. How could this official dare to eat first?"

She was used to being willful. Although the late emperor had intended to spoil her to death, at least on the surface, he had treated her very well. So she would occasionally reveal her true nature. For example, acting coquettishly, complaining childishly, or laughing heartily.

Qin Li had seen enough two-faced people, but this little thing in front of him seemed to be the same from beginning to end. They were all struggling to survive, so why was she the only one who could live so comfortably?

He looked at her and rubbed his fingers together. Finally, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a small meatball, and put it into her mouth. He said with a faint smile, "Since when did An Qing become so distant with me?"

No one dared to be careless with the food served to the emperor, so the meatball was indeed delicious. However, Su Tang couldn't taste anything at the moment.

Wait a minute, isn't his change in attitude too abrupt? Yesterday, he couldn't wait to kill me, but today, he is all smiles. Besides, when were we ever close?!

She slowly chewed and swallowed the meatball, not wanting to speak. Just as she was about to muddle through, Qin Li spoke again, "Is the meat delicious?"

Su Tang nodded.

"Since it's delicious, feed me." After saying that, he put down his chopsticks.
