Chapter 36 He really likes to hear Sui Sui scolding people

She always thought she married well...

She thought she had the best son in the world...

Song suppressed the surging emotions in her heart.

She opened the wooden box on the table, revealing the mother-of-pearl powder inside.

"My Lord, do you remember this?"

After Song finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on the elegant and dignified face in front of her.

When King Rui saw the mother-of-pearl powder in the box, the expression on his face suddenly became a little stiff.

My heart started beating wildly without me noticing.

Why did Song suddenly ask this?

Did she discover something?

That shouldn’t happen, because he was the one who carefully planned the mother-of-pearl powder.

Ordinary doctors have never even seen it, so how could they know that it would make Song's condition worse?

I guess she was just asking casually.

Thinking of this, King Rui felt relieved instantly.

He put on a very gentle expression again, sat down at the table, and looked at Song across from him with deep affection.

"How could you not remember? Isn't this the mother-of-pearl powder I found especially for you?"

Song was quick to detect the guilt and evasion in his expression just now.

There are also sudden changes of expression and pretended affection.

Song suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

As expected...as expected...

The man she had held dear to her heart for eight years actually poisoned her!

She hated her weak body countless times and thought it was her own fault!

Every night, Prince Rui would stay overnight at Aunt Liu's place.

Although she felt sad, she never complained.

Because she was afraid that she would pass on her illness to King Rui...

Song's eyes instantly turned red, and she clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

She is so stupid...

King Rui noticed her abnormality.

Frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?

Song suppressed her emotions and said quietly, "I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered the letter my father sent me recently and I'm a little homesick."

King Rui didn't feel anything was wrong either.

After all, he knew very well how much the Song family liked him.

Even if you tell her to go east, she wouldn't dare go west.

Prince Rui said a few perfunctory words and left directly to go to Aunt Liu.

As the wooden door closed, Song immediately collapsed to the ground.

I can no longer hold back my tears, my heart aches and tears are streaming down my face

It turns out that she doesn’t need to get sick…

I don’t have to lie in bed and spend my days counting the flowers embroidered on the gauze curtains…

It turns out that she had the opportunity to participate in every moment of Ziyuan's growth...

Her eight years, a full eight years!

I was harmed by him like this!

This is the man she has truly loved for eight years!

Song only felt a fishy-sweet taste in her mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Then he fainted on the ground.

The last moment she closed her eyes, she saw Ziyuan and Mingyue rushing over...

The next day, Song woke up slowly.

As soon as she opened her eyes, a crisp, childish voice rang in her ears.

"Mother."

Song turned her head and saw Xiao Ziyuan kneeling in front of the couch.

His eyes were red, and his fair and handsome face was full of worry.

Song stroked his cheek gently and smiled softly.

"Don't worry, mother is fine."

Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "Why didn't you go to the study today?"

Xiao Ziyuan held Song's weak hand and shook his head.

"I asked for leave from my tutor today because I was really worried about my mother."

Song's eyes were sore.

Her child...

For her Ziyuan, she will hold on!

Song sighed, turned to look at Mingyue standing beside her, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

She knew that she was just the daughter of a merchant and could not compete with King Rui.

But that doesn't mean she can't do anything!

Mingyue was keenly aware that when her young lady mentioned the prince again, her tone became very cold.

No longer as affectionate as before.

Mingyue sighed in her heart, then bowed and answered.

"The prince was summoned by the emperor to the study this morning and has not returned yet."

Song's brows twitched slightly.

Why did the emperor summon Prince Rui to his study?

Yu study.

King Rui knelt on the ground trembling with fear, his heart beating fast.

This was the first time that the emperor summoned him alone in his study.

But from the time he came in until now, the emperor didn't say a word and just let him kneel like this.

The emperor must have thought he had done something wrong.

But……

He hasn't done anything recently.

So what's wrong?

Shangguan Sui sat next to Shangguan Lin, swinging her little feet and looking at Prince Rui below.

[Tsk, aren't you very majestic at home? You favor your concubine over your wife, and your partiality is so great that it reaches the Pacific Ocean! ]

[Moldy grapes are full of bad water! Hate it! Hate it! ]

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but curl her lips and didn't interrupt.

Haha, he really likes to hear Suishun scolding people!

What a clever little kid!

Shangguan Sui finished complaining and let out a long sigh.

She turned her head to look at Shangguan Lin, her eyebrows wrinkled.

[Why is my dad still silent? Is he mute? ]

Guan Lin, who was laughing wildly just now: ...

Well, it's his turn.

Shangguan Lin looked at Prince Rui who was kneeling in the palace, cleared his throat, and had a very stern expression.

"Do you know why I called you here this time?"

Upon hearing this, King Rui immediately leaned forward and kowtowed.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, please explain clearly."

Shangguan Lin stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I have always asked about the family affairs of my subjects, but this time you really went too far!"

Prince Rui's back stiffened instantly.

Housework? What housework?

Is he talking about the fact that he poisoned the Song family?

But then he heard——

"You favor your concubine over your wife, and allow your concubine's son to beat your legitimate son at will. This is really a corrupt moral code!"

King Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

He knelt down and kowtowed again to admit his mistake.

"My child is naughty and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. It's my fault for not teaching him well!"

"Xiao Feng is my eldest son. He is indeed a little spoiled. I will discipline him strictly when I return! This kind of thing will never happen again!"

[Tsk, I'd rather believe that I'm Qin Shi Huang than you! ]

[You have always tolerated and protected Xiao Feng no matter what mistakes he made since he was a child, and you would scold Xiao Ziyuan harshly if he said a wrong word.]

[However, for my father's sake, Prince Rui will probably be a little nicer to Xiao Ziyuan when he returns. At least Xiao Feng will never dare to bully Xiao Ziyuan openly again.]

Shangguan Lin listened and nodded secretly.

What Suishun said makes sense. It is impossible for Prince Rui to really change, but it will probably be better for Xiao Ziyuan.

This result was also within his expectations.

Shangguan Lin was about to speak, but heard Shangguan Sui say——

[Speaking of favoring concubines and killing wives, on the surface, Prince Rui was actually quite nice to Song.]

[He has given everything he should have. He has everything he needs for food, drink, shelter and transportation. After all, he still needs to use the Song family's money~]

[Oh, yes, my father doesn't know yet. Prince Rui should spend less money on Xiao's descendants to buy official positions! ]

Shangguan Lin's eyes widened when he heard this.

What? Spend money to buy an official position!

【The descendants of the Xiao family were really disappointing. Prince Rui had no choice but to spend money to buy official positions, and sent large sums of money to the Ministry of Personnel.】

[Real talented people are not employed, but the frivolous and dishonest noblemen are promoted and rich. ]

[Later, the entire court was thrown into chaos by him...]

The more Shangguan Lin listened, the tighter his jaw tightened.

He clenched his right fist and stared at Prince Rui in the center of the hall.

He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen right under his nose!

King Rui was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly he felt an extremely cold gaze falling on him.

And that look is getting colder.

King Rui broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Why is the emperor suddenly angry again?

But he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately kowtowed again with a very sincere tone.

"I know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me this time because I inspected Jiangdong for Your Majesty!"

"I will go back and cultivate myself and my family, and never let this happen again!"
