Chapter 257 Lies
Li Renan lowered his head and supported himself with his hands, kneeling on the ground.
The third prince Qin Mingjin's long eyelashes half covered his eyes, his eyes were heavy. He walked slowly, stopped half a step in front of Li Ren'an, and shouted, "Grandfather!"
Li Ren'an's eyes followed Qin Mingjin's feet as he walked up to him. With red eyes, he stared at Qin Mingjin's thin and tender face and choked up:
"Your humble servant greets the Third Prince. Have you been sleeping well recently? You have lost weight!"
"Grandfather, there's no need to be so polite. The sun is so hot, let's go to the waterside pavilion and talk." Qin Mingjin squatted down and held Li Renan's wrist, trying to pull him up from the ground.
Li Renan quickly climbed up by himself.
Qin Mingjin sent away all the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only the grandfather and grandson in the pavilion.
"Grandfather, I don't know how many years it will take for you to come back. Eunuch Zhang told me that the emperor values you very much. You will have to return to the court one day. When you return, you will definitely have a place in the six ministries. You must take care of yourself. I need you."
Without outsiders around, Qin Mingjin's tears began to fall, drop by drop, hitting Li Renan's heart, making him feel extremely distressed.
His poor grandson lost his mother at a young age and had to struggle to survive alone in the harem where people were unpredictable and treacherous, but Li Renan had no way to provide him with shelter.
He can't see Yu'er in the harem now. It's not known whether Yu'er will vent her anger on Xihua's child or attack the Third Prince. What should he do?
His Royal Highness the Third Prince must not die at the hands of Yu'er.
Li Renan half squatted and half knelt, tightly hugging the third prince Qin Mingjin who was crying silently, tears streaming down his face.
"Grandfather will definitely come back, and your Highness the Third Prince, you must take care of yourself too." Li Renan wiped away his tears and clenched his fists.
"Grandfather, the evidence against my mother is solid, but I still can't believe that my mother would do such a thing..." Qin Mingjin took a deep breath and his body trembled slightly.
"Third Prince, I am sorry for you and the beauty. Why did I introduce her to someone so early? If not, she would not have been taken advantage of and caused the beauty to lose her life."
"who is it?"
Qin Mingjin raised his face from Li Renan's shoulder, slowly pushed him away, and looked at Li Renan's face intently.
Li Renan's dry lips trembled slightly, a bitter taste appeared in his mouth, and he swallowed his saliva.
"It must be Nanxun Palace's Bai Xuanshi, right? The only person who has the opportunity and ability to frame my mother can be her cousin who grew up with her. Grandfather, am I right?"
"It's all my grandfather's fault. Why did he take pity on her and bring her home to raise her? In the end, he brought back a poisonous snake that killed his own daughter."
Li Renan closed his eyes and nodded heavily, hiding his guilty conscience.
He was very glad that his wife came to the palace to accompany his daughter during childbirth. Although she lived in Nanxun Palace, she did not succumb to her daughter's sweet words and rashly told Xihua the truth about the sisters' life experiences.
Xihua never knew the truth until his death, so to the Third Prince, he was still a trustworthy grandfather.
It’s time to deal with the Anlu Marquis Bai family. A fierce dark light flashed across Li Renan’s eyes.
Even if Yu'er tells the Third Prince that she is his biological daughter, it will only be an empty fantasy. He must be the Third Prince's biological grandfather.
“Your Highness, you are still young. She is scheming and ruthless, and is best at withholding her power until the final blow hits the target.
Don't confront her head-on, don't engage in any verbal dispute with her, and don't let her find out that you hate her.
Can you wait for me to come back from Lingnan? I will definitely help you."
"It's been too long, Grandfather. My mother is lonely. I can't wait to rush into Nanxun Palace and chop off Concubine Bai's head."
"As a mother, the beauty has you as the most important person in her heart. Since you were born, she and I have always been ranked behind you. Nothing is more important than your safety. Your Highness, you must stay calm and don't be anxious."
"I was just saying that in anger. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Qin Mingjin said expressionlessly.
"I have something to tell you that may make you feel better." Li Renan said, stroking Qin Mingjin's cheek.
