The Love Imagination System

Section 36: Borrowing Hands

Liu Qingti shouted in front of the gate of King Changle's mansion until it attracted people's attention. The guards barred her from entering because Princess Empress Changle had ordered that people from the prime minister's residence not be allowed in. Though, Liu Qingti had something important to report to her.

“Young Master, come back. His Majesty has ordered not to let people from the Prime Minister's residence enter,” drive out the gatekeeper.

“I'm her brother! Let me in!”

A servant whispered something to the guard. Liu Qingti was then welcome to enter and greeted in the eastern courtyard. Qingyi and Baili Qingchen were already there.

Xiao Junjie did not participate because the man seemed to be exiting the mansion. Whereas Qingyi hoped that the annoying Baili Qingchen couple was here and witnessed for themselves that Qingyi was not easy to defeat.

“Say, what do you want to say to the storm in front of my mansion?” ask Qingyi.

“I don't want to talk to you. What kind of sister forbids her brother from visiting her mansion after marriage.”

Liu Qingti sulked like a child. Qingyi ignored him and chose to sit quietly listening to something her brother was about to say.

Liu Qingti admired Baili Qingchen since childhood, because she thought that Baili Qingchen was a great hero. Although King Changle's reputation was damaged, but in Liu Qingti's eyes, Baili Qingchen was still a star.

Today he could meet in person even entering his mansion, his heart was clearly very happy. Ever since he arrived, Liu Qingti had been unceasingly staring at the scenery of the mansion.

The look on his face also turned one hundred and eighty degrees upon seeing Baili Qingchen. Liu Qingti felt the figure before her was not a human, but a reincarnated god.

“Cih, completely useless,” Qingyi murmured. Aware of his goal, Liu Qingti immediately told him something important.

“Your Majesty, my father sent assassins from Litao Pavilion to harm you. But, the real goal is to kill my sister,” Liu Qingti said.

“Already suspected! That old bastard must be the culprit!”

Qingyi exclaimed in anger. On the contrary, Baili Qingchen was not surprised at all. He was so calm that he sipped a glass of tea.

“Protagonists always come up with an elegant composure. Look at that expression,” Qingyi murmured. Yinghao who sat on his shoulder nodded in agreement.

Baili Qingchen was not surprised. Cui Kong had reported the results of his investigation a few days ago. The assassins from the Litao Pavilion who attacked them on the way were indeed sent by the prime minister. However, Baili Qingchen did not expect that this information was actually verified by the prime minister's own son.

He wasn't going to tell Qingyi. The girl must have insisted on retaliating if she knew she was the target of her own father's murder.

But, it was all meaningless anymore because Liu Qingti had told him. Baili Qingchen planned to demand a tacit reply in her way, but since Qingyi already knew, she must have insisted on wanting to get involved.

“Good. I already know,” said Baili Qingchen.

“Your Majesty, you are so cool,” praise Liu Qingti. Qingyi rolled her eyeballs. What did this foolish man admire about Baili Qingchen?

“Qingyi, don't you plan on demanding a reply?’ asked Liu Qingti.

“You are so excited to report your own father and mother. Are you tired of living in the Prime Minister's residence?”

“Entahlah. Mom and Dad never really thought I existed. They only care whether I am useful or not to them.”

Qingyi understood what her brother felt. Living under pressure is very stressful. Liu Qingti was considered a trash and was not dear just because she was not good at it.

Liu Qingti is an example of a product that fails to meet expectations in this kind of age. Qingyi thought, It would be nice if Liu Qingti was not born in the prime minister's family either.

“I heard Erniang was crazy yesterday. The prime minister and his wife must have been very sad,” as long as Qingyi.

“You made it that way. But, it's good too. The spoiled woman will no longer be rude to me.”

Similar brothers, thought Baili Qingchen. Both Liu Qingyi and Liu Qingti were household products of the rebelling prime minister. It was only fitting that the brother-sister relationship was so familiar, they had a similar fate that made Baili Qingchen finally understand the cause of their nature.

Now, Baili Qingchen began to think of a way to race the prime minister. So far, what the man has done has been outrageous. If not for the case of the Xizhou Academy yesterday, the old man would definitely continue to feel himself in a high place. But, no longer because Baili Qingchen knew her nephew would not let go of the prime minister so easily.

“When to borrow someone else's hand to reply,” Qingyi said suddenly.

“You want to use the Emperor to suppress it?” ask Qingchen.

Qingyi already knew that yesterday Emperor Baili reprimanded the prime minister due to the case of the Xizhou Academy Supervisor. Coupled with the presence of Zhao Peng, the position of prime minister in the palace became a little difficult. So, he decided to use the emperor's hand to avenge the prime minister.

“Because you've decided, then just do it. Qingyi, you are the great-granddaughter of the Zhao Family, as well as Princess Consort Changle. They won't drag you if something happens to the Prime Minister's residence. Maybe then, I can do my last baktu for them.”

“What is this kind of farewell? I wasn't that cruel to the point of eliminating one family. Isn't that so, Your Majesty?” qingyi asked with a strange grin. Baili Qingchen puffed a little. His expression did not change at all.

Liu Qingti smiled bitterly. Although he was a useless child, but he also still had a little care. Thank goodness King Changle pardoned his parents a little. Perhaps this was the time that his cruel father descended from his glory.

It was time for his old father to repent for all his crimes, especially the crimes he had committed to King Changle all this time.

...***...

This afternoon, Baili Qingchen entered the imperial palace and requested a meeting with Emperor Baili. His nephew was checking the documents in the study room.

He had no interest in welcoming his uncle. The result of Baili Qingchen's performance was indeed very good, but it was also what made his mood bad because his uncle was too eye-catching.

“Your Highness,” greet Baili Qingchen.

“Oh, Uncle, you're coming. What made you come looking for me?”

“I want to talk about the Prime Minister's problem.”

“The branch he recommended went to jail. What else do you want to talk about?”

If Qingyi was here, she would have directly beaten Emperor Baili. Being disrespectful to your own family is not right, although not all of them are illegal. At least Emperor Baili raised his face and spoke with eyes. Baili Qingchen continued to stare at him, trying to be patient over the attitude of his emperor nephew.

“This matter is not only related to me, but also related to the dignity of the imperial family,” Baili Qingchen said. Emperor Baili looked up, then began to change his attitude.

“The assassin of the Litao Pavilion who was sent to ambush my journey is at the behest of the Prime Minister,”.

“He wants to hinder your work?”

Baili Qingchen nodded.

“The Prime Minister also intends to kill Princess Empress Changle. I think his actions have exceeded the limit.”

Emperor Baili squeezed the paper on his desk. His sense of regret had not gone away in the sycophant's parents. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he had also taken another action without his knowledge. Attacking a member of the royal family is a serious crime.

Although he had no intention of killing, but it definitely could not be allowed to.

Emperor Baili paid close attention to this. Her father taught her that no matter what, people who attack members of the royal family cannot be allowed to.

Other than belittling, it also meant that the royal family was weak and the emperor had no power at all. A person like Emperor Baili would not be willing to be overstepped by others.

So, even though he hated his uncle, he still had to act. Baili Qingchen saw the confusion on her nephew's face, and she instantly became calm.

“What punishment does Uncle want for him?”

“Your Majesty know it more clearly.”

Emperor Baili worried. Dropping the prime minister is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Baili Qingchen's words made her feel a tingle of anger inside her chest.

Emperor Baili growled, as the words were exactly the same as the words spoken by Qingyi during his first visit after the wedding that day.

Given this, Emperor Baili increasingly did not want to be stepped over.

“Good. I'll arrange it,” break up Emperor Baili.

Baili Qingchen nodded calmly. Then, he walked out of the emperor's study room with regular steps. Ah, borrowing the hands of others does provide a different sensation than when intervening alone.
