Late at night the next day, the prince took the medicine given by the Poison King and lay down after feeling that the medicine was indeed effective. Unexpectedly, he dreamed again after falling asleep.
He dreamed of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber again. Shen Shu was sitting in the bridal chamber waiting for him. He took off the hijab and slapped her hard...
This time, he heard his own voice, "Bitch! It was you who killed Jiao Jiao!"
Then, he strangled her neck until she had no strength left before letting go. She covered her neck and coughed, explaining to him, "It's not me..."
However, he didn't listen at all, and even made her kneel on the bitterly cold winter night...
She was frozen to the point of stiffness, but she still knelt straight.
However, in the dream, he had no pity for her at all, only Taotao's hatred...
The hatred was so real that the prince could not recover for a long time after he woke up.
He stood up suddenly, and after sitting blankly for a long time, he suddenly found that his body was shaking.
He felt as if a piece of his heart and memory was missing. If nothing else happened, that piece should be about Shen Shu.
To be precise, it is about Shen Shu in the dream.
He could no longer resist the impulse in his heart and got up to find Lin Zhi himself.
…
Lin Zhi put Shen Shu to sleep and got up again in the middle of the night.
Dealing with matters in the middle of the night has been his habit for many years. Even if he has nothing to deal with, he will wake up in the middle of the night as usual.
He left the house as usual, but Chang Lan stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you."
"No." Lin Zhi thought of the prince's face and felt disgusted, so he said bluntly.
Chang Lan frowned, "But His Royal Highness is right outside the door. He said that if the prince doesn't see him, he will call Miss Shen outside."
Really annoying.
Lin Zhi thought of Shen Shu's peaceful sleeping face. After all, she couldn't bear to let the prince disturb her, so she only frowned and went downstairs.
As soon as he got downstairs, he saw the prince. The prince bowed obediently to him, and then said, "I would like to ask the emperor to go over to the other side and say a few words."
Although Lin Zhi was only one or two years older than the prince, the prince still couldn't help but feel frightened every time he saw the other person. He felt that the other person exuded a dangerous aura, and if he was easily provoked, he might die an ugly death.
But for Shen Shu, he had to provoke her.
At this time, Lin Zhi just raised his eyes and glanced at him, and he felt that his legs were weak and he wished he could disappear on the spot.
Fortunately, Lin Zhi only looked at him for a moment and nodded. He quickly turned around to lead the way.
He felt much more relaxed now that he could no longer meet Lin Zhi's gaze.
Lin Zhi looked at the prince's back again, thinking about how radiant he looked just now, thinking that the medicine he had just taken must have taken effect, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
That medicine is not a good medicine...
After all...the best way to destroy a person is to give him hope before falling into despair.
Just as he was thinking about it, he had already walked to the prince's room. The prince's room was a little dark, with only a small cluster of candlelight constantly swaying, bringing a faint light.
He narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
The prince quickly stepped forward and lit candles in several corners of the room. Then he returned to Lin Zhi and called him respectfully, "Uncle."
Lin Zhi said "hmm".
The prince did not feel embarrassed and took the initiative to ask, "How is your uncle's health these days?"
"It's not bad." Lin Zhiyuan said softly, trying to see through the prince's face what he was going to do today.
But I couldn't see anything, only disgust.
Although the prince was frightened, he continued to speak, "I heard that the emperor's uncle was looking for the Poison King recently but couldn't find him. My nephew found him. If the emperor wants, the nephew can introduce the Poison King to the emperor."
Only then did Lin Zhi look at him, "What do you want to do?"
The conditions offered by the prince were very good. He thought he would be confident when negotiating the conditions with Lin Zhi, but when he met Lin Zhi's eyes, he suddenly began to feel weak again.
But he thought about those dreams again, thinking about Shen Shu in the dream, and finally made up his mind again, "My nephew wants Shen Shu. As long as the emperor's uncle is willing to give up Shen Shu to his nephew, my nephew is willing to introduce the Poison King to him." Treat the emperor's uncle."
"No need." Lin Zhi refused bluntly.
The prince had already expected that he would refuse, so he persuaded him earnestly, "Uncle, since you can't live long, why not give Shen Shu to your nephew, who will definitely treat her well."
After hearing his advice, Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at the prince's face again, but only saw seriousness.
This prince is not joking.
He suddenly wanted to laugh.
The prince didn't know that he had always been evil to the core. When he was alive, Shen Shu could only be his, and when he died, she could only shed tears for him.
She is his candy. He has tasted the marrow and knows the taste, so he will never give it to anyone else.
"If the emperor's nephew comes to me to discuss these matters, then there is no need." He looked at the prince teasingly and took his medicine. The prince might not be able to survive him.
"Uncle!" The prince didn't expect Lin Zhi to refuse, so he shouted again in a hurry, but Lin Zhi didn't want to pay attention to him at all, just turned around and left.
The prince saw Lin Zhi walking away and thought of his dreams, and his heart suddenly started to hurt again. He subconsciously felt that if he couldn't get Shen Shu this time, he might not have a chance in the future.
So he hurriedly said, "Uncle! If you die, how sad will Shen Shu be?"
Then, he saw Lin Zhi stop for a moment.
However, it was only for a moment.
…
After Lin Zhi left the prince's place, he wanted to go back, but suddenly stopped before entering the door.
He suddenly didn't dare to face Shen Shu anymore, so he turned around and went outside.
It was warm tonight, Lin Zhi felt the warm wind blowing on his face, and suddenly thought of Shen Shu's warm face again.
Every time he was cold, she would spare no effort to warm him with her body and hands.
However, what she never knew was that what he liked most was actually her using her face to warm his.
Her soft little face was pressed against his, and her thin breaths hit his ears, making him feel itchy.
He always felt that Shen Shu at that time was more attractive than Shen Shu who hugged his neck on the bed and begged him to drink water.
Lin Zhi stayed outside for a while before turning around and going back to the house. He was afraid of waking her up, so he tried his best to tiptoe. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he lay down, he felt her arms suddenly hug his waist.
His body suddenly stiffened, and then Shen Shu buried her face directly in his arms. Although she made no sound, he could still feel that the clothes on his chest suddenly got wet.
