Chapter 167 The male protagonist deserves to die!
The emperor glared at Shen Shuangyue and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Since you don't know who the Fourth Prince's mother is, how do you know he's the child I had with Concubine Su outside the palace?"
"I just don't know the details." Shen Shuangyue said casually, but a huge wave was already rising in her heart.
[System, I remember the Fourth Prince is half a month older than Su Hanwan, right? According to the Emperor, that was the only time they had sex outside the palace because of Chinese medicine.
Can I understand that the Fourth Prince's mother snatched the opportunity for Su Hanwan's mother to enter the palace, and she was already pregnant at the time?
So the Fourth Prince is not the Emperor's biological son?】
The system smiled: [Host, you finally figured it out. How could Sister Xingxing let Su Hanwan, who was based on you as a child, suffer a loss?
Do you still remember the words at the end of the play?
Although they are siblings, their lives have infinite possibilities.
Shen Shuangyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, calming herself down. "I always thought this was a universal ending, but it turns out it's just a plot twist, not the ending. In the future, the Fourth Prince's life experience is destined to be discovered by the Emperor, and he will have no chance of becoming Emperor.
The remaining princes were relatively young, giving Su Hanwan enough time to pave a path for herself to protect herself.
The system nodded, "Indeed, so host, you can understand why the Fourth Prince has been sending people to monitor Su Hanwan and is willing to do anything to ascend to the throne, right?"
Shen Shuangyue sneered: "I understand, I understand so well! If the Fourth Prince doesn't fight for the throne, he will be implicated by the Su family for the crimes of deceiving the emperor and confusing the royal bloodline, even if he was still in his mother's womb and had no knowledge of it."
Her voice was more or less tinged with sarcasm. [So, the Fourth Prince is just trying to survive, so anything he does is understandable, like playing with people's feelings, trafficking women, embezzling stolen money, and collaborating with the enemy and treason...]
The system was stunned: [Huh? How did the host's words turn the Fourth Prince into an unforgivable villain? But from another perspective, he seized every opportunity to climb the ladder to save his life, relying on his intelligence and talent to become the Crown Prince. Finally, he rationally recommended Murong Ying to the battlefield, won the battle against the enemy country, and secured the throne of Crown Prince. What a determined man!]
Shen Shuangyue: [He was determined to establish his own ambition. If it weren't for his recommendation, Murong Ying wouldn't have been made a general after his death. If it weren't for his art of speaking, Su Hanwan wouldn't have gone to Murong Ying and begged him to find a way to save Nanny Sun who was heading to the border, even though she saved his life. His contribution is truly immense!]
The system was silent for a moment, [The male protagonist really deserves to die! ]
[Since he deserves to die, then it's only natural for me to harm him, right? The plot depends on you to maintain it.] Shen Shuangyue curled her lips, ignoring the system's voice to stop her, and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, have you found evidence that the Fourth Prince is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason? I'm a little confused. What good will this do him? How can the enemy help him?"
The emperor's originally peaceful expression suddenly tensed, and a sharp look flashed in his deep eyes. "What do you want to say?"
Shen Shuangyue didn't answer but asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why I suddenly asked about the Prime Minister's affairs? If the Prime Minister was just exiled, it's not that Mo Linqing and the other two can't bring him back, but they may have to wait until Your Majesty is no longer afraid of the Prime Minister.
So don't blame me for not reminding you, if you hadn't intended to kill the Prime Minister from the beginning, then the country might only be stable on the surface."
The emperor clenched his fists, his voice slightly vicissitudes of life, "In fact, I have never been afraid of the Prime Minister."
Shen Shuangyue's eyes widened. "Is this true?"
The Emperor: "The things he investigated offended almost half of the noble families. How could I be afraid of him? Since you know what will happen in the future, did the Prime Minister encounter any difficulties along the way?"
Shen Shuangyue slapped her thigh. No wonder she always felt something was strange.
Why did the assassin kill everyone?
It is normal for the people escorting the prime minister to the border to have the first reaction of running away when the prime minister encounters an assassin. After all, there are many exiles who die on the road.
So the emperor had instructed that the escorting personnel must protect the prime minister.
She sighed deeply, "Actually, what I said just now was just a test to see if you had murderous intentions towards the Prime Minister. Now I think it's better if you do, things will be easier."
The emperor frowned. Since Shen Shuangyue suspected that he had murdered the prime minister, it meant that she didn't know who wanted to kill the prime minister.
The three boys of the Prime Minister are quite powerful together. If they want to attack the Prime Minister, it is unlikely that they can hide it.
There is only one possibility: it is a dark force that has never seen the light.
Therefore, this is most likely the reason why the Fourth Prince colluded with the enemy and committed treason.
The enemy country has been planning for a long time and has many spies who can help the Fourth Prince ascend the throne.
This is also the reason why Shen Shuangyue said that the country is only stable on the surface.
The emperor couldn't help but ask, "Does the prime minister have to be exiled?" He didn't know before that this would be a death sentence for the prime minister.
"Your Majesty, you can try it and experience what it means to be unable to defy fate."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I am tired, you can leave first."
After careful consideration, the emperor arranged for several trusted ministers to overturn the prime minister's verdict. However, the imperial edict had already been issued, and the matter investigated by the prime minister had led to the alliance of the aristocratic families, which was of no avail.
The prime minister still embarked on the road to exile.
The plot develops according to the established trajectory.
However, after the prime minister's three sons said goodbye to him, they all got into an inconspicuous carriage.
Shen Shuangyue looked at the three people's red eyes and poured three cups of tea: "Everything depends on human effort, don't be so pessimistic."
"Sister, we have been through this twice, you don't have to worry about us." Mo Linming forced himself to smile.
Shen Shuangyue touched his head and said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. I'd rather you cry for a while, then calm down and think of a way to save the Prime Minister."
Mo Linming threw himself into Shen Shuangyue's arms, calling "Sister" and crying softly.
Shen Shuangyue patted his back gently and looked at the other two. "Do you want to cry too?"
Mo Linqing and Mo Linfeng looked at Mo Linming and nodded in unison.
—?—
The four men rode in a carriage following the team escorting the prime minister.
The further north we go, the lower the temperature becomes, as if the air is frozen.
Outside the car window, the sky and the earth were vast and snowflakes were falling in the cold wind.
The biting coldness quietly seeped in through the gaps in the car curtains, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Shen Shuangyue lifted the car curtain, ignored the biting cold wind, and looked up the mountain with a slightly nervous expression.
On the mountain, a huge rock rolled down at a breakneck speed, like a wild beast on the loose, and like leaves swept by a strong wind, it violently knocked down countless trees. The Prime Minister and his companions seemed to have heard this earth-shaking movement and stopped in their tracks.
They saw that the huge rock was rolling towards them.
For a moment, the team was in chaos.
Everyone's face was filled with panic, and their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
Some people shouted loudly, asking to find a place to hide quickly, while others fled in panic.
Until the boulder stopped on the prime minister, all sounds seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Time seems to have frozen.
