Crazy! After the female supporting role commits suicide, the male supporting role redeems herself by

The emperor paused while reviewing the memorials, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "The Third Prince is my heir, and it's his duty to work for me. Why does it sound so unpleasant when you say it?"

Shen Shuangyue couldn't help but sneer, put down the ink stick in her hand, and washed her hands slowly. Then she sat on the chair with her legs crossed, looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I trust no one but myself, so there's no need to confuse me with words. I know far more than you imagine."

She picked up the teacup in front of her, took a leisurely sip, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think gives me the confidence to provoke you?"

The emperor felt a little depressed. Could it be that Shen Shuangyue also knew what would happen in the future?

He put down the imperial brush in his hand, with a smile that did not reach his eyes: "If it were not for the Prime Minister and my son to protect you, I would have killed all your nine clans for what you have done.

"Shen Shuangyue, you think you're very capable, don't you? Without the Fifth Prince's carefully selected guards, you can't wipe out the bandits; without the Prime Minister's help, you don't even have the qualifications to speak to me. Your martial arts skills are ordinary, your status is low, and your appearance is not stunning."

The emperor laughed contemptuously: "Isn't your confidence that you can provoke people? Without them, you would have to steal even the silver."

Shen Shuangyue looked at him with a half-smile. "The Emperor is worthy of being the Emperor. He denies someone's achievements, uses his status to pressure others, implies that I rely on my beauty to achieve what I have today, while belittling my appearance. Finally, he tells me that without others, I am nothing."

The more she thought about it, the funnier it became. "Your Majesty, you're making it sound like the 100 people accompanying me didn't do anything to wipe out the bandits. It's all collective effort, and honor is distributed according to contribution. Are you trying to confuse me? What's more..."

Shen Shuangyue looked into his eyes and spoke word by word, "I only did this to be worthy of myself. What does it have to do with you? What qualifications do you have to belittle me?"

You are of noble status, why don't you solve this matter? Instead, you acquiesce and allow the local governor to send food and women to the bandit's lair.

You don't even know martial arts! What qualifications do you have to say that my martial arts skills are mediocre?

So what if you're the emperor? Don't you only judge people by appearance? What? Are all women cut from the same mold? Do they have to be beautiful according to your standards?

I tell you, as long as the heart is beautiful, the person is beautiful. You can have people you admire, but if you casually comment on and belittle others' appearance, it means you have low quality. "

Shen Shuangyue shook her head, "So, Your Majesty, apart from being born into a good family, how can you compare to me?

You can't even live as recklessly as I do. You have to consider the opinions of the noble families and rely on the support of various forces."

"How outrageous!" The emperor was so angry that he threw the teacup to the ground.

"Your Majesty, do you understand the meaning of impotent rage?" Shen Shuangyue chuckled. "I'll tell you now what my confidence comes from. I'm not afraid of death! As long as I die quickly, what's the point of all your torture methods?

The worst that can happen is that I can just change my identity and start over!"

The emperor had never been provoked like this, but he could not find any flaws in Shen Shuangyue's words.

His face was cold and his eyes were staring at her like awls.

Thinking of how Shen Shuangyue had protected those men, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You have a weakness. I can send people to torture Su Hanwan. Even if you start all over again, it would be hard to see her suffer because of you, right?"

Shen Shuangyue raised her eyebrows and complained in her mind: [System, the Emperor wants to torture the heroine and ruin the plot, why don't you take action?]

[Host, your novel reading was indeed worthwhile.] The system smiled indulgently: [I'll count to five to give you time to prepare.]

Shen Shuangyue curled her lips. She just thought it was easier to call the system. In fact, she had a golden finger that had never been used, which was her understanding of the plot.

Just talking about a few things that were about to happen was enough to scare the emperor, but she felt that it had nothing to do with him and didn't want to waste her time on it.

Listening to the system counting in her mind, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, her tone calm but revealing a sense of majesty, "Your Majesty, I'm trying to persuade you with kind words, but you don't appreciate it. Then let me show you my true strength!"

As she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the brush that the emperor had just put down.

Shen Shuangyue watched this scene in shock, pretending to be calm and asked, "Is Your Majesty having fun?"

The emperor's hands couldn't control the trembling. He couldn't imagine what it would look like if he still held the pen.

The pride in my heart, like the brush, turns to dust.

After a long silence, he asked wearily, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Shuangyue knew that the emperor was showing weakness to her. She raised her eyelids slightly and said in a voice that could not be refused, "Then please remind the people that casually commenting on appearance is disrespectful. And by the way, give out some red paper and write on it: Men who casually comment on women are short and petite. If you don't agree, prove it in public!"

The Emperor: "..." He digested it for a while before saying, "Eunuch Shen can really say anything."

Shen Xingxi smiled, "Your Majesty, I don't mind you saying I'm outspoken. After all, this is the truth, and I admit it.

Actually, I want to tell everyone that when you hear others talking about you, you should talk back to them in a way that hurts them. But I guess you still care about your reputation, so I'll just write it on a piece of red paper! You can also think about it in your mind.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the casual comments of those playboys can easily cause others to feel inferior for a long time or even a lifetime? This deeply rooted idea that women dress to please themselves! When will it disappear?"

The emperor was unable to respond to Shen Shuangyue's words and could only instruct Eunuch Xu to convey his oral instructions to the prime minister and arrange the matter.

Seeing this, Shen Shuangyue took leave immediately and returned to the side hall where the fifth prince lived to catch up on her sleep.

The sun sets and dark floating lights surge.

Shen Shuangyue, who finally got enough sleep, opened the window in high spirits.

Eunuch De hurried to the window, looking anxious. "Eunuch Shen, the Emperor has sent a servant to ask you, do you know where the Third Prince went after he left last night? The Third Prince hasn't been seen since last night."

Shen Shuangyue's heart skipped a beat. Could the delicate little man still be under the bed?

He quickly put on his coat and walked towards the main hall.

When Xiao Yuanzi saw Shen Shuangyue, she immediately walked up to her with a smile on her face. "Did you sleep well, Eunuch Shen? The Fifth Prince specifically instructed that we continue repairing the door after you wake up, but don't worry, it will be fixed tonight."

Shen Shuangyue's mouth twitched, and feeling the unfriendly wind today, she walked into the house a little faster.

She fished the third prince out from under the bed while Eunuch De opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.

Looking at the pale, curled-up figure in front of him, he subconsciously touched his forehead.

The hot forehead told her that the person in front of her had a fever.

But it was not surprising. Under the bed was the only place in the house without carpet. A normal person would feel uncomfortable if lying there for a whole day, let alone the Third Prince who was in a weak state.

Add to that the disturbing sounds of gongs and drums in the morning and the door that was never closed...

Shen Shuangyue's expression was filled with a rare sense of guilt. Just as she was about to ask Eunuch De to lift the Third Prince to the bed, the Third Prince turned over and put his arms around her waist, moving closer to her, muttering, "Cold~"

Shen Shuangyue sighed and simply picked the person up.

But it is easier to pick her up than to put her down. The third prince hugged her waist tightly and buried his head in her arms.

The translucent clothes on his hot forehead made it hard to push them away easily, and he was still wearing the light gauze dress from last night.

The light was dim last night, and Shen Shuangyue could only vaguely see the whip marks on his body. Now that the darkness of the night had faded, only the red marks that could not be covered by the veil and his perfect figure were left.
