On this day, Shen Shuangyue had breakfast at home as usual.

The system suddenly spoke: [Huh? There's no poppy in today's breakfast!]

Shen Shuangyue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. [After taking it for half a month, I can indeed stop for a while. Then I have to act out the withdrawal reaction.]

So, Shen Shuangyue entered a berserk state.

He put crazy pressure on the housekeeper to get Su Yao to return home, and even wrote a divorce letter.

The Fourth Prince knew he could no longer hide, so he walked into the courtyard where Shen Shuangyue lived in the dark, and then he was subjected to a series of beatings from Shen Shuangyue...

The Fourth Prince had not slept well these days because of his misfortune. After enduring the beating, he lay exhausted on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he suddenly realized that this was the best sleep he had ever had in recent days.

He didn't notice that Shen Shuangyue was stealthily leaning against the window. Seeing him leave as usual, she raised her lips slightly and said, "System, how's my dosage control?"

[Host, you are the best! ]

In the past few days, Mo Linming, Mo Linfeng and the third prince took turns going to her room and brought her many self-defense medicines, including knockout drugs.

Shen Shuangyue wanted the Fourth Prince to come to her house every day to be beaten, so she discussed it with the three of them separately.

The three of them were responsible for making some noise in the Fourth Prince's mansion, causing the Fourth Prince to wake up frequently at night.

Over time, in order to get a good night's sleep, he would frequently come to the yard to be beaten.

What's more, frequent use of knockout drugs is not good and may even cause dependence. This is Shen Shuangyue's return gift to the Fourth Prince.

In her mind, anyone who uses opium on others deserves death! ! ! Any form of revenge is too light!

Royal study room.

As the abstinent fifth prince volunteered to go to Lijia Village, the domineering fifth prince quietly entered the palace to ask the emperor to borrow people, hoping to protect his brother in secret. The emperor had nightmares for several nights in a row.

In the dream, either Xiao Jin or Xiao Ba died tragically.

He took out the prescription for treating the plague that the prime minister had sent to the palace from the drawer.

This recipe was given to him before he learned that there was an epidemic in Lijia Village. It was a miraculous recipe that the head of the Imperial Hospital praised highly.

At this time, Eunuch Xu entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, ever since the news of the Fifth Prince's departure for Lijia Village spread, the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Prime Minister's three sons have secretly sent people to the Fifth Prince's mansion."

The emperor's expression was solemn, and his index finger tapped unconsciously on the table.

The cold wind howled outside the window, bringing with it the chill of winter.

A helpless sigh escaped the Emperor's lips. He massaged the Qingming acupoint and said, "Eunuch Xu, go to the Fourth Prince's residence in person and convey my instructions. Tell him that I have received a secret report that the Fifth Prince's mentor may be related to this plague, and have him secretly go to Lijia Village to investigate.

Have the Third Prince meet Miss Shen again and tell her that I suspect the Fourth Prince is involved in this plague and that I hope she can go with him to investigate. I will send Mo Linqing to assist her in the dark."

Eunuch Xu agreed, hurried out of the hall, and personally completed the task assigned by the emperor.

When the Fourth Prince received the secret decree from the Emperor, a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of his lips.

He used the excuse that there was a problem with the shop he ran in Licheng to trick Shen Shuangyue into going with him, and then secretly went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

After experiencing the previous two lives, the domineering Fifth Prince did not find it strange about the Fourth Prince's arrival. Sure enough, he heard the Fourth Prince mention Su Hanwan's mother and Su Hanwan's life-saving grace to him again.

He also asked him to inquire about a man named Li Xu when he went to Lijia Village, saying that he had received news that this person might know Su Hanwan's life experience.

In his first life, he was completely unprepared and directly asked the villagers about a man named Li Xu, and told them frankly: Li Xu knew the life experience of his savior.

Unexpectedly, Li Xu cheated countless villagers of their hard-earned money. As a result, he was besieged by the emotional villagers and killed by a villager with great martial arts skills.

In the second life, the brother did not inquire about this person, but the villagers, instigated by the villain, still thought that the brother was related to Li Xu and excitedly besieged the brother.

In this life, he made the same choice as in his previous two lives, and agreed to the Fourth Prince's request without hesitation.

Time passed as the Ministry of Revenue prepared relief supplies while the abstinent Fifth Prince led several imperial physicians and a team of guards to Lijia Village.

At the same time, the Fourth Prince, Shen Shuangyue and others also went there in disguise.

At this time, Lijia Village had been ordered to be isolated by the local prefect. Due to the snow disaster and the fact that the villagers had been cheated of their money, they had almost no food stored. Being closed off at this time was like adding insult to injury.

The house was a makeshift one, with leaks everywhere, and all my winter clothes, except for the one I was wearing, were basically buried in the snow.

They currently rely solely on porridge provided by the government and kind-hearted people to survive, and rely on picking up branches from the mountains and huddling together to keep warm. However, the rice in the porridge is decreasing, more and more people are suffering from the plague, and the entire village is in dire straits.

This is also the reason why the abstinent Fifth Prince chose to come here on his own initiative. If he could exchange a few days of his own life for a few more lives of the people, he felt it was worth it.

Of course, before that, he still chose to do the same as in his second life, using the money he had to buy some food and distribute porridge outside Lijia Village.

The carriage of the abstinent Fifth Prince stopped in front of the Licheng government office. He declined the local prefect's offer to hold a welcoming banquet and prepared to go to Wai Li Village with the prefect in an hour.

He took advantage of this hour to take a nap in the room, but when he woke up, it was dark in the sky and he was in the room of the inn.

There is a note left by Xiaoba within reach:

Brother, I am glad to see you in person.

Please forgive me for taking the initiative. This is my fate and I can't let you bear it for me.

I also understand that this is my selfishness, and I can't bear to see you close your eyes in front of me again.

It is because of my mentor who taught me that I have to go through this journey; Su Hanwan once saved my life; this was also the choice I once made.

It has nothing to do with you.

Even if it weren't for me, you might have a wider world.

So please don't feel any guilt.

Brother, do you know how heavy my heart was when I knew that someone was locked up in a room for sixteen years so that I could see the vast world outside?

I once asked my mother why she kept me in the palace, and she told me it was because I was born thinner than you.

I firmly believe that if mother did not have the courage to defy the royal rules, and only one of us brothers could stay, it would definitely be you.

I stole your time, but after you went through this for me, you said before you died: "I finally don't owe you anything."

I've always wanted to ask, what do you owe me?

Brother, you don’t owe me anything. Our destiny has never been controlled by ourselves, so there is no debt.

If there is anyone I owe someone, it should be me.

This time I chose to take the path I should take, of course, I also had selfish motives.

Brother, you are smarter than me and can take better care of mother and Shuangyue.

Please don't feel sad for me, maybe after I die I can always be with Shuangyue.

I hope you can understand my decision, and I hope you can live well and take care of the people we love.

Finally, I beg you, please let me leave quietly this time, and don’t come to Lijia Village to look for me.
