Chapter 163 If I didn’t have my sister, I wouldn’t know my father
After Mo Linfeng finished speaking, he took out a wooden ball wrapped in a red silk handkerchief and put it into his mouth.
He demonstrated his determination not to take the medicine through practical actions.
Shen Shuangyue's gaze fell uncontrollably on the silk handkerchief, watching the bright and dazzling colors bloom like ripples, layer by layer, and finally turn into deep red.
She swallowed and felt the temperature on her hand getting even hotter.
Mo Linfeng's eyes became blurred, his body curled up, his head resting on Shuangyue's legs, gently rubbing her palms, and his blocked mouth occasionally making a "whimpering" sound.
The pair of bony fingers unbuttoned his clothes, and his fair skin had turned pink. He put his hands behind his back, unwilling to go any further.
Shen Shuangyue's breathing became heavy, and she even suspected that there was something wrong with the incense in the house.
She almost uncontrollably lowered her head and grabbed his earlobe, watching as Mo Linfeng's body became increasingly tense, the roses on the silk handkerchief bloomed faster, and his body became a little redder.
She took out the wooden ball, held his face and kissed his lips.
His lips were so hot that they made him lose his mind and all he wanted was for the person in front of him to blossom completely...
outside the house.
The emperor watched Shen Shuangyue enter Mo Linfeng's room, walked gently to the door and put his ear to it.
But just as his ear was close to his, his shoulder was tapped. The Seventh Prince blinked his bright eyes and asked, "Father, are you eavesdropping on my sister?"
The emperor's whole body trembled suddenly, and he quickly stood up and pretended nothing had happened.
He walked to the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, putting on a dignified and stern look. Instead of answering, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
The Seventh Prince said bluntly: "I am here to stop Father from eavesdropping on my sister!"
The emperor's face burned, and he could only cough lightly and scold, "Nonsense! I'm just helping the prime minister look after his second son."
"Father, I don't understand." The Seventh Prince frowned. "Since you want to take care of Second Young Master Mo, why did you drug him?"
The emperor choked.
In fact, it was not accidental that he came up with this bad idea.
After the Fourth Prince was released from the Jinwu Palace, the first thing he did was to test Su Hanwan to see if she knew that Shen Shuangyue had not lost her memory.
Unexpectedly, Su Hanwan would coldly question him, "You mentioned Shen Shuangyue in front of me many times. Are you in love with her?"
The Fourth Prince quickly denied it, but it was too late.
Tears welled up in Su Hanwan's eyes uncontrollably, as if she had suffered great injustice. "Do you think I don't care that she calls you husband?"
She yelled at the Fourth Prince at the top of her lungs, "Fourth Prince, out of consideration for our friendship, I haven't dared to do anything to provoke her, but do you know how I felt when I heard that she left the capital with you?
I really didn't expect you to ask me about how we get along."
She laughed sadly and self-deprecatingly, "Do you want me to share a husband with her? I'm telling you, even if I, Su Hanwan, never marry, there's no way I could share a husband with her!"
After saying that, she went straight back to her room, slammed the door, and her heart-wrenching cry followed.
The Fourth Prince had already lost Shen Shuangyue as a chess piece, so of course he was unwilling to give up Su Hanwan, so he directed and acted in a play himself.
On the second night, Su Hanwan was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. The Fourth Prince's guard said anxiously, "Miss Su, my master is seriously injured. Please go and take a look!"
Seeing this, Su Hanwan hurried to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, as if she had not thought about the previous conflict at all.
She looked at the Fourth Prince lying weakly on the bed and burst into tears.
The Fourth Prince's expression changed at this moment. "Who told you to call Miss Su over?"
The guard knelt on the ground and apologized, "Master, if you don't rely on a woman to detoxify the drug you took, I'm afraid there will be no one who can inherit your legacy. You said that you would never touch other women except Miss Su in this life, so I had no choice but to call Miss Su over."
The guard kowtowed to Su Hanwan, "Please, Miss Su, save the Fourth Prince! The Fourth Prince is already in a difficult situation. What will he do if he has no children in the future?"
The Fourth Prince reprimanded the guards and showed through his actions that he would not destroy Su Hanwan's innocence before marriage. He took a cold bath, his lips turned white from the cold, and forced the guards to send Miss Su back home.
Su Hanwan also forgave the Fourth Prince for this reason. The two of them seemed to have never had any misunderstandings, and returned to the sweetness of "you make dumplings and I make trouble."
When the emperor heard what the Fourth Prince had done, he felt as if a ball of anger was burning in his chest, but he could not find an outlet to vent it.
Shen Shuangyue's daily provocative behavior was like adding fuel to the fire, making his anger grow more and more intense, almost breaking through his reason.
Driven by an uncontrollable anger, he excused his impulsive behavior with seemingly reasonable reasons such as breaking the delicate balance between his five sons and being curious about their reactions.
And gave Shen Shuangyue a seemingly sweet temptation that she could not resist.
But when he saw Shen Shuangyue walking towards Mo Linfeng's room, a deep sense of guilt suddenly surged in his heart.
He walked uncontrollably out of the room, struggling internally.
He began to hesitate. If Shen Shuangyue really chose Mo Linfeng, should he step forward to stop her?
Back to the point. Facing the Seventh Prince's questioning, the Emperor's face darkened and his voice held no room for questioning. "How dare you contradict your elders like this! Didn't the Master teach you that there's a hierarchy and you shouldn't question the decisions of your elders?"
"Master taught me." The Seventh Prince nodded, then raised a question: "But elders also make mistakes! Why can't we question them? Father, isn't truth important?"
The emperor felt a headache, but he had to admit: "You are right."
The Seventh Prince: "Then I will continue to question Father. Why did you wrong my sister? If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't even know you, Father."
The emperor's face darkened, and he could no longer tolerate it. He ordered Eunuch Xu: "Send the Seventh Prince back to his residence and confine him to his quarters for three days!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shuangyue opened the door and casually asked, "What did the Seventh Prince do wrong to make the Emperor so angry?"
The Seventh Prince looked aggrieved: "Sister, I just stopped Father from eavesdropping on your conversation. I didn't expect him to get so angry about it and even put me under house arrest."
After hearing this, Shen Shuangyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said "Oh~" in a joking tone.
She didn't argue too much, but placed the medicine bottle in her hand on the railing and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that this medicine bottle is useless. There are only seven people. I will go and check them all."
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the next room.
The emperor was left stunned. He asked Eunuch Xu beside him in a low voice, "What does she mean?"
Of course, Eunuch Xu didn't dare to say it clearly, so he walked forward and pushed open Mo Linfeng's door.
I saw that Mo Linfeng had been detoxified.
Eunuch Xu immediately opened the medicine bottle on the ground with trembling hands to check.
His face turned pale, and he reported to the emperor in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, there are seven pills in the medicine bottle, but the poison of the Prime Minister's second son has been cured."
The emperor had a gloomy expression and paced back and forth.
He was anxious, but hesitant because he was unsure of the situation inside the house, not knowing whether to send someone to break into the room by force.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Shuangyue walked out of the room again, her face looking even more rosy and radiant than before.
She glanced at the emperor indifferently and continued into the next room.
Eunuch Xu's voice trembled even more, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's eldest son has also been cured of the poison."
