“Prince, you must be tired. Why don’t you take a break and take a sip of this tea I have just made?” Lin Yue poured the tea and raised the teacup beside Su Yunqi’s lips.
Su Yunqi wanted to reject her. Upon seeing her expectant gaze, he paused and decided against it. He took the teacup and sipped the tea…
Other than cultivation, Lin Yue’s only other interest was to study tea ceremony. She was very skilled at the art of making tea. Su Yunqi enjoyed drinking the tea Lin Yue would frequently prepare for him.
He closed his eyes and reveled in the pleasure of having Lin Yue gently massaging his shoulders as she stood behind him. Instantly, he felt more relaxed. As she continued to rub his shoulders and back, he suddenly felt a dry and hot sensation flushing from his lower abdomen…
Lin Yue snuggled up against his ear and whispered, “Prince, do you feel better?” Her feminine fragrance drifted towards him, and her soft breathing grazed his ears.
The desire in his body was instantly ignited. He pulled her towards him, and Lin Yue fell into his embrace…
“Ahhh, Prince, what are you doing…” Lin Yue’s words were drowned out as Su Yunqi planted his lips on hers.
A look of satisfaction flashed across Lin Yue’s eyes as she wrapped her arms around Su Yunqi’s neck. Su Yunqi grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up. There was a big bed placed against the wall in the study; it was where he usually rested. He carried her and walked towards the bed…
Instantly, the temperature in the study soared as they engaged in a warm and passionate union…
The night was pitch black…
It was a busy night at Su Ruoxi’s garden. Usually, more than ten shadow guards would patrol the area. Tonight, there were dozens more. Jade Garden was fiercely guarded to the point that not even a fly could manage to leave…
Su Su sat on the chair, her legs rudely perched. She looked at Su Ruoxi and asked out of curiosity. “Master, do you really intend to marry on behalf of that woman?”
“Uh-huh. I even have the intention to make you my handmaiden!” Su Ruoxi answered lazily as she leaned against the bed.
“Damn! Master, are you kidding? I’ve been very obedient lately, and I’ve handled all my tasks properly. You can’t set me up!” Su Su cried out loud.
“Oh, yeah? Are you sure?” Su Ruoxi asked as she raised her eyebrows.
Su Su pondered for a moment and said, “Yup, I am certain of it, absolutely certain!”
“Mo Lian, why don’t you let beautiful lady Su know the latest news?” Su Ruoxi said, smirking as she looked at Su Su.
“Yes, Master! Recently, the treasure vault in the royal palace was broken into and emptied entirely. The Emperor flew into a rage, and the whole city is now placed under martial law. One is allowed to enter but forbidden to leave Heavenly Phoenix City. All owners and shops will be interrogated and examined thoroughly. This includes our Pavilion of the Assassins…” Mo Lian said, gloating as she gazed at Su Su…
“Haa… But I can’t be blamed entirely for this, Master! I didn’t intend to take them all! Those items are not with me, anyway.” Su Su said, sounding aggrieved.
God knows how fastidious she could be! However, Baby was a money-grubber, and she had emptied the treasure vault completely! Su Ruoxi was also partly at fault since the crypt she had brought Baby to was mediocre and did not have a vast collection of treasures. It was used mainly to store gold coins and other currencies, which was promptly snagged by Baby…
“After tomorrow, you shall return to the Pavilion of the Assassins and stay there!” Ling Xuemo said as she glared at Su Su.
“Master, do you have any other orders?” Ling Xuemo asked Su Ruoxi.
“There is nothing else. You shall be in charge of keeping tabs on the Second Madam, Lin Yue, tomorrow. I have a feeling she’s up to something! Su Su and Mo Lian shall be in charge of bringing Su Ruolin and her sister into the Crown Prince’s bridal chamber. Then, we can watch as the drama unfolds…” Su Ruoxi said with a smile, but her gaze was cold and icy.
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and told Mo Lian. “Mo Lian, get Mo Ye to stay at the Prince’s mansion and protect the three of them in Shen Garden!”
“Yes, Master!” Mo Lian nodded and replied.
“Alright, everyone is dismissed! Let the drama begin tomorrow!” Su Ruoxi said lightly.
At the Crown Prince’s mansion…
Lin Mengxue was the Imperial Concubine Xue of Su Yuntian, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix. She gazed at the dimwitted Crown Prince, Su Feng. He squatted in front of her, smiling foolishly as he played with crickets. Su Yuntian’s brows were deeply furrowed…
“My beloved, do you think what the wise man said could indeed be true? Could this child’s condition really improve if he were to marry the Second Miss of Prince Su’s mansion?” Su Yuntian asked with a frown.
“Emperor, that wise man had given me plenty of good advice in the past few years! He had been very accurate in his predictions thus far. Haven’t you witnessed it for yourself too? We should trust what he said!” Imperial Concubine Xue gently said.
“Oh, alright! Then let’s go back and wait…” Su Yuntian said as he gazed at his dimwitted son.
“Yes. The wise man said the Crown Prince will heal after they consummate their marriage!” Lin Mengxue happily said.
“My beloved, weren’t you against this marriage before? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?” Su Yuntian asked Imperial Concubine Xue out of curiosity as he gazed at her beautiful face.
He recalled that Imperial Concubine Xue seemed to have let it slip some time ago. She said the wise man had told her that the dimwitted Crown Prince could only be cured if he married a woman from Prince Su’s mansion.
However, the two daughters from Prince Su’s mansion were Imperial Concubine Xue’s biological nieces. Lin Mengxue was the Prime Minister’s niece and was Lin Yue’s elder cousin. Hence, she had been very reluctant to let her nieces marry the dimwitted Crown Prince…
However, Lin Mengxue had a sudden change of mind a few days ago. She claimed that as long as the Crown Prince could recover, it was okay for Su Ruolin to become the Crown Princess…
She had intentionally asked Su Yuntian to bring her along to the Crown Prince’s mansion to visit the Crown Prince. She had even brought along some servants to handle the affairs of the Crown Prince’s wedding the next day…
Hence, Su Yuntian’s curiosity was piqued…
Lin Mengxue let out a casual laugh. “Emperor, I was not considerate before. I spoke without thinking carefully and almost offended the wise man! Isn’t it wonderful that the Crown Prince can be fully healed once he marries Ruolin from the Prince’s mansion like the wise man said? It’s great for both the royal family and Ruolin. Once they consummate the marriage after the wedding, the Crown Prince will regain his senses and become normal again. How great is that?”
“Hahaha, that’s correct. My beloved, you’re right. I did not think of that, hahaha!” Su Yuntian paused for a moment and felt his mood lighten considerably.
A quiet night…
It was bright and sunny the next day.
Everyone knew about the wedding of the Crown Prince, Su Feng, and the Second Miss of Prince Su’s mansion in the Heavenly Phoenix City. A grand wedding was about to take place…
The Crown Prince’s mansion was decorated with lanterns, festoons, and lavishly draped with red silk. Many people stood on the streets to watch the hustle and bustle of the festivities…
In Prince Su’s mansion…
Su Ruoqi brought some breakfast delicacies to Su Ruoxi’s yard bright and early in the morning. She intended to tell Su Ruoxi that she had planned to bring her to tour the lake after breakfast…
