That night, Emperor Zhou sent Sheng Fu to Prince Ling's mansion in person.

He rewarded Prince Ling with many jewels, medicinal herbs, and rare antiques, but he never mentioned the fact that Gu Yan'an had beaten him.

Before leaving, Sheng Fu reminded him that the matter should be dropped and not mentioned again in the future.

Mu Ling knew without thinking that was what his father meant.

He didn't expect that his father would attach so much importance to Beiyang Palace.

Gu Yan'an! He remembered this grudge.

Mu Ling looked at the bright yellow imperial edict and found it extremely annoying.

"Your Highness," Chen Ruofu's soft voice sounded outside the house.

Mu Ling put away the imperial edict. "Come in."

Chen Ruofu opened the door and went into the study room carrying a lunch box.

"I heard that you didn't eat anything today, and I was a little worried. This is the soup I made myself this afternoon. Please try it."

Chen Ruofu spoke in a soft voice and deliberately did not mention Mu Ling's visit to the palace today. She was very considerate.

Looking at the beautifully colored and fragrant chicken soup, Mu Ling felt a little hungry.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let the servants do these things from now on."

"I'm not tired, as long as the prince likes it." Chen Ruofu handed the soup to Mu Ling. There were several red blisters on her delicate and fair little hands, which were very obvious.

"How did your hand get hurt?" Mu Ling looked at her hand with heartache.

Chen Ruofu immediately hid her hand behind her back and said, "It's okay. I accidentally burned myself. It's just a minor injury, not important."

"Your Highness is in a bad mood today, and I don't want to make things difficult for him." Chen Ruofu was naturally gentle and charming, but her pretending to be strong made people feel pity for her.

Mu Ling felt warm in his heart. His mother was born in a humble family and died early. Even the eunuchs bullied him since he was a child.

It seemed that no one had ever cooked soup for him personally. Chen Ruofu was the first.

Mu Ling looked at Chen Ruofu affectionately, "Fuer, you are all I have now."

"Your Highness, no matter what you do, I will always be with you." Chen Ruofu smiled softly, and Mu Ling looked at her with even gentler eyes.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, in Su Jingmo's courtyard.

"Sir, here, this is the Hidden Soul Powder I got from the Fourth Young Master." Su Jingmo's attendant Cheng An sneaked into the room and handed him the porcelain bottle.

"He doesn't suspect anything, right?" Su Jingmo took the porcelain bottle.

"No, I did what the young master said, and the fourth young master gave it to me."

"Well, don't let anyone find out that I'm not in the house." Su Jingmo glanced at the already dark night. It was a dark and windy night, a good time to kill and rob. After saying that, his tall figure disappeared into the night.

Su Jingmo walked out of the house stealthily from the back door. As soon as he left the house, he saw Su Jingyi, the fourth son of the Su family, standing in the corner with his hands folded, leaning against the wall.

Su Jingyi was dressed in black, with his black hair tied up high. He was handsome and elegant, with a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes squinting at Su Jingmo with amusement.

Su Jingmo snorted in his heart. He said that he took the medicine from Su Jingyi, a fox. How could he not be suspicious?

Su Jingyi's Xuanming Camp is the most dangerous place in the Su family army. It is best at using military poisons to assassinate enemy generals. Every soldier in it is a master of using poisons in the military formation. Wherever they pass, no grass will grow.

"Second brother, where are you going dressed like this so late at night?" Su Jingyi curled his lips slightly, his voice sounding a little annoying.

"Then how do you explain the black clothes you are wearing?" Su Jingmo didn't answer him and returned the words.

Su Jingyi stood up straight, and the smile on his face faded a little: "I'm afraid that my second brother is not very good at using my medicine, so I'll go with you."

Su Jingmo understood. No one in the entire Su family was more cunning than Su Jingyi. He should know what happened last night.

The two smiled at each other, then disappeared into the dark night together, heading towards Prince Ling's Mansion.

The next day, screams like pigs being slaughtered were heard from Prince Ling's mansion.

I heard that Prince Ling had offended someone recently and was beaten last night. Now he can't even get out of bed. Even Prince Ling's new favorite, Miss Chen, was not spared. She was poisoned and her whole face was covered with pustules.

As for this matter, Su Jingning, who stayed in his room all day, naturally knew nothing and had no time to find out.

"Second sister! Second sister!" Su Jingning was awakened early in the morning by Su Luowan's sweet voice.

"Oh, second sister, why haven't you gotten up yet? Today is New Year's Eve. Didn't we agree yesterday to go to the backyard garden to play in the snow?" Su Luowan hurried into Su Jingning's warm room. Because she felt cold, she didn't dare to run in Su Jingning's direction. She could only stand by the stove to dry the coldness on her body, stretching her head to look in Su Jingning's direction.

Su Jingning covered his head and lay motionless, not wanting to get up.

"Second sister! Second sister! Get up quickly." Su Luowan kept shouting

Finally, Su Luowan couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled Su Jingning out of bed, dressed her up, and rushed to the garden in the backyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When they arrived, everyone was already there, waiting for them.

Su Jingning was dressed very warmly, wrapped in a large fox fur coat, with only her fair little face showing, looking very adorable.

"Second sister, go stay in the garden warm room and watch us play." Su Luowan pushed Su Jingning into the garden warm room. Knowing that the young masters and young ladies from the mansion would come today, the charcoal fire inside was already burning very vigorously, and it was very warm. There were also various exquisite snacks and teas on the table. The warm room had windows on all sides, and the view was very good, and you could see the garden at a glance.

Su Jingning looked at the thick snow outside with hope, sighed, and went into the warm room. Her body couldn't stand the cold, and since she was a child, she would watch her brothers and sisters playing in the snow in the warm room.

Su Jingning brought a plate of sugar-crusted peanuts and sat by the window, resting his chin on his hand and looking at the people outside the window boredly.

The eldest brother and the third brother have not come yet. They are more stable and mature than other brothers and sisters. In the past, they just sat with her in the warm room and watched them play.

Su Luowan was wearing a scarlet short jacket and skirt, jumping around in the snow, looking very cute. She was pulling Su Jingmo and Su Jingyi to make a snowman for her.

Su Jingmo and the other man couldn't resist her trickery, so they could only resign themselves to rolling snowballs and making snowmen for her.

Su Luoting and Su Luoshu were squatting on the ground, carefully carving a snowman. They were very careful, fearing that they would accidentally damage the snowman.

The two were very skillful and carved a beautiful snowman that looked lifelike. Just when they were about to finish, a snowball flew out from nowhere and smashed the snowman's head off. The two were stunned for a moment as they looked at the snowman with only half of its body left.

Turning to look at the culprit, Su Jingxuan was watching Su Jingze rolling on the ground with gritted teeth and laughing. In the joy of beating Su Jingze to a pulp, the two of them did not notice the angry gazes of their two sisters beside them.

Su Luoting and Su Luoshu looked at each other, then quickly and tacitly leaned over to make a solid snowball, one of them threw it at Su Jingxuan, and the other threw it at Su Jingze.

The two sisters threw the arrows accurately and unexpectedly, hitting Su Jingxuan and Su Jingze on the head quickly and hard.

The two sisters who had successfully carried out the sneak attack burst into laughter when they saw their two brothers in pain.

"Dare to attack your brother? Fifth brother, you don't have to show mercy to them!" Su Jingze looked at his two sisters who were laughing happily in the distance, and became playful, and joked to Su Jingxuan.

"Hmph, Sixth brother, don't underestimate us. We don't know who will win!" Su Luoshu looked proud and was quite dissatisfied with Su Jingze's words.

"Watch out!" Su Luoting threw the snowball he had prepared long ago, and it just happened to hit Su Jingze's shoulder again.

"Hahahahahahahaha, Sixth brother, you'd better dodge my snowball first." Su Luoting said with her hands on her hips and smiled. It was rare for Su Luoting, who was usually scholarly and gentle, to have such an arrogant expression.

The war between the two sides was about to break out. Su Jingxuan threw a big snowball directly at Su Luoting with quick accuracy and ruthlessness. Su Luoting was quick with his hands and eyes. He stepped on the ground, flew into the air, turned over quickly in the snow, and easily avoided the snowball.

Humph, her Qinggong was taught by her fourth brother, who was the best among the Su brothers. She was so proud of herself, but just as she landed, she was successfully attacked by Su Jingze, and her feet slipped and she fell to the ground.

Su Luoting fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

Su Jingxuan saw her fall and became anxious. He wanted to go over to help her, but just as he got close, Su Luoting threw a loose snowball at him, which hit him right on his handsome face. He accidentally swallowed a big mouthful of snow and was frozen in place.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. All's fair in war. Fourth brother taught me that." Su Luoting smiled like a little fox and winked at Su Jingyi who was watching them play not far away.

Su Luoshu on the side was also holding his waist and laughing uncontrollably. Fifth brother was so funny.
