Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1142 - 673: Li Shimin

Li Shimin in an instant saw the subtle change on the face of his sister, known for her intelligence and wisdom, as her expression slightly shifted and then faintly dimmed.

He could roughly understand that Li Xiuning’s sadness was not because she saw something between them, but because through them she saw the impassable gulf and difficulties between her and Kou Zhong.

That budding emotion, after all, could not grow.

"Xiuning, come with me to meet Young Master Qin and Mr. Sui," Li Shimin wanted to subtly pull Li Xiuning away from the awkwardness, yet Li Xiuning softly said, "I originally came to visit Kou Zhong and them... I’ll go in first."

With that, she dismounted.

Li Shimin, helpless, had to dismount as well and stood beneath the bridge, saluting Shi Feixuan and Sui Yi, "Young Master Qin, Mr. Sui, the court banquet is about to begin, would the two of you like to go for a viewing?"

Li Shimin now also knew Qin Chuan’s identity, but previously they interacted as equals, and after knowing the other’s identity, he still didn’t change at all; in some ways, Li Shimin was also an oddity among the aristocrats.

Very wise and generous in his dealings.

Qin Chuan lightly said to him, "If I go, I’m afraid it’ll be of no benefit to the second young master... I still have matters to attend to, farewell."

Before leaving, Shi Feixuan suddenly turned her head to look quietly at Sui Yi.

"Wanwan always says Feixuan is a hypocritical person..."

"In Feixuan’s view"

"Mr. Sui is even more so..."

Sui Yi: "...."

Li Shimin: "...."

Mr. Sui, what on earth did you do to make the always reticent Immortal Shi so annoyed?

Li Shimin did not hesitate, stepping up the stairs one by one, with Sui Yi watching this future eternal emperor approach...

She vaguely felt... it wouldn’t be long before this person became King of Qin, and once he became King of Qin, the internal struggle of the Li Family’s Twin Dragons and the nationwide outbreak of conflict wouldn’t be far off.

"Mr. Sui," Li Shimin called out, drawing Sui Yi’s scattered thoughts back slightly, the latter seemingly curious, yet graceful, lightly chuckling and saying, "Perhaps Mr. Sui noticed some aberration or ailment in Shimin, given those distinct glances?"

Li Shimin was a very sensitive person, his observational skills were not inferior to theirs, so this line was subtly probing.

Sui Yi withdrew her gaze, calmly said, "I’m skilled at diagnosing gynecological issues, if the second young master had any hidden ailment detected by me at a glance... that situation would be quite dire."

Gyne... gynecological...

Almost forgot, this person before him was a master in gynecological matters...

At that moment, Li Shimin’s expression was so awkward, it took him five seconds to realize he had been teased by the usually serious Mr. Sui.

"Mr. Sui is truly humorous, it’s been a long time since someone teased Shimin like this..."

"I wasn’t teasing you"

"....." Li Shimin paused, openly stared at this stunning beauty’s face, seeing only genuine composure...

"So Mr. Sui means... do I really have an ailment?" Gynecology aside, better ignore that for now.

"No, I was just speaking offhandedly"

"...."

The twice-teased Li Shimin stared at Sui Yi... suddenly laughed, laughed naturally, quite heartily.

"Mr. Sui is indeed interesting, Shimin sincerely wishes to make your acquaintance, may I ask if Mr. Sui is willing?"

When this emperor smiled, his handsomeness could rival even Seo Ziling’s, with an exclusive regal air and frankness, his gaze shining brightly, gleaming like the sea.

Once having wanted to befriend Sui Yi and become friends, Song Shidao now no longer needed roundabout methods to achieve his goals, his eyes focused solely on Fu Junnuo, the main subject.

Because he knew that currying favor with Sui Yi would not earn him any good words, and there was frankly no way to please her, it was better to let things take their natural course.

But Li Shimin was different, once he took a liking to someone, he would unstintingly use his charisma to attract the other party.

At this moment, perhaps his openness, his honesty, and his wisdom were entirely revealed before Sui Yi without any cover.

Qin Chuan was talented, moreover Shi Feixuan was significant.

But power and nationwide matters always interposed between them, with the entanglement of the Li Family and Cihang Calming Studio.

Not pure.

But this Sui Yi was different.

Li Shimin’s gaze was clear, looking at Sui Yi, respectfully and straightforwardly asked, would Mr. Sui be willing to befriend Shimin?

Sui Yi silently looked at Li Shimin, indeed she admired this emperor, also harboring the curiosity appropriate for an archeologist about him, yet....

"Even if I do not agree, in the future, if not necessary, you and I should not become enemies, if necessary, if agreed, in the future as friends, it might rather add to the troubles, it would be better to remain as we are now..."
