"Qingxu, since it has come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. However, you should eat first. I will tell you everything later."

"Shuyao, I'm sorry, you don't have to tell me."

Shen Qingxu knew that Lin Shuyao must have a painful memory, and she didn't want Lin Shuyao to recall the unhappy past because of her.

"Qingxu, you are my best friend, I will tell you everything."

Shen Qingxu hugged Lin Shuyao, nodded, and drank the porridge obediently, with tears in her eyes, which made people feel distressed.

Seeing this pitiful appearance, Lin Shuyao sighed deeply.

Shen Qingxu leaned in Lin Shuyao's arms, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, and felt that her mind seemed to be much clearer.

"You little clingy guy, if Gongsun Jiayan hadn't appeared, I would have suspected that you liked a girl."

"Haha, don't I like women like you? Hahaha." This joke finally made Shen Qingxu burst into laughter.

After a while, Lin Shuyao helped Shen Qingxu up, pretending to be very tired.

"Go in, go in a little, don't think I will let you go just because you are a patient, but I will take advantage of your illness to bully you more!"

Lin Shuyao pushed Shen Qingxu into the bed, and they lay down side by side. She also did not forget to tuck in the quilt for the person next to her to prevent the monkey who had just come out of the water from catching a cold again.

The two of them lay quietly on the big bed, and Lin Shuyao slowly spoke...

"Qingxu, since I became conscious, I knew that I was different from the other children in the Lin family."

"It's just that I only knew my background last year. I think you must also know that my brother is Xiao Qi."

"Well, I know. Are you saying that you came to the capital because you found out about your life experience?"

"Yes, my aunt told others that she wanted to marry me to the youngest son of the governor of Kangzhou before I came of age. I didn't want to do that, so I sent a letter to the palace. My brother then wrote to the Lin family to bring me back to the capital." Then he took a deep breath and said, "My brother and sister-in-law summoned me and reassured me that I could decide my marriage myself. Later, my sister-in-law talked to me alone and asked me to visit you more often in the academy. She said we would become good friends. On the first day I entered the academy, I heard that Qin Si and Jiang Meiyin wanted to harm you, so I went to find Qingfang and asked her to go to the palace to tell my sister-in-law."

"Shuyao, you started helping me before you even knew me."

"You are my best friend."

"Uh-huh!"

"Hey, what are we talking about? Let's get back to business."

"I'm listening."

Lin Shuyao calmed down and continued, "My mother is a concubine of the Lin family. She was also the concubine of my grandfather, Xiao Zhe, Empress Xi."

"Empress Xifei?"

"She is the biological mother of the current emperor Xiao Qi."

"I already knew that you and your brother-in-law were siblings." Shen Qingxu was not surprised because Xu Xingyi had told her about Lin Shuyao's identity before.

Lin Shuyao turned her head and looked at Shen Qingxu beside her. She was looking at her seriously but had no expression and did not interrupt. Lin Shuyao, whose wrist was pinched, felt the little girl's nervousness and couldn't help but laugh.

"Now that I think about it, it's nothing. Just listen to me and I'll tell you everything from the beginning." Lin Shuyao talked about her life experience.

"Ok!"

Lin Shuyao's voice was gentle and her tone was melodious, but it was also a little desolate.
