The abstinent Fifth Prince's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, and he crumpled the letter into a ball with his fingers.

He unfolded the letter bit by bit, and a tear fell on it.

The handwriting became blurred and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

He sat by the window holding the letter, looking at the dark night sky in front of him.

After a long moment, he snorted softly, as if mocking himself, but also as if expressing his reluctance to accept his fate.

He put on a mask and walked out of the inn, blending into the night.

—?—

On the other hand, Shen Shuangyue and the Fourth Prince and his entourage entered Licheng one step later than the Fifth Prince.

The two first went to a shop and performed a scene of "slapping the face of the shopkeeper who embezzled the shop profits", and then rested in the inn.

The Fourth Prince left on the pretext of needing to deal with follow-up matters of the store, and Shen Shuangyue met Mo Linqing, Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming in turn.

The person in front of her at this moment was Mo Linming.

She seemed unaware of what was about to happen. She leaned lazily back in her chair and even looked at the two cat ears that Mo Linming was wearing with interest.

Seeing this, Mo Linming moved to sit next to Shuangyue, bent down and rubbed Shuangyue's ears with his cat ears.

Shen Shuangyue glanced sideways and saw a handsome and well-behaved face. Looking down, she saw that two buttons of the clothes were open, and the scenery inside was faintly visible.

She reached out and touched it, smiling brightly, "I'll go get some wine. The wine will pass through my stomach, but the joy will remain in my heart."

Mo Linming said "hmm" and smiled sweetly, but he was worried about whether the fifth prince could change his fate, so his smile did not show in his eyes.

Shen Shuangyue took the wine pot and poured two cups. She pushed one cup in front of Mo Linming to comfort him: "Drink some. I know you are worried about the Fifth Prince, but trust my plague prescription. Nothing will go wrong."

"Well, he will be fine." Mo Linming curved his eyebrows, but his smile was still not as bright as before.

Shen Shuangyue gradually tightened her fingers, tightly gripping the wine glass, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

She said, "Don't go home until you're drunk tonight!"

The system, eavesdropping in the dark, couldn't help but become anxious and couldn't help but speak out: [Host, are you really not going to find a way to save the Fifth Prince's life?]

Shen Shuangyue leisurely played with the wine glass in her hand, and asked in a voice without sadness or joy: [Didn't you say that the plot can't be changed?]

The system choked, [But host, you also know that as long as the scene in the video happens, it will be fine.]

Shen Shuangyue: [Then tell me, how do I save the Fifth Prince after he's been stabbed by a poisonous sword? There are no masked villagers this time, so I can't find anyone to replace them. And there's also a scene later where he vomits blood and draws a sword to heal. How do I break this situation?]

The system was silent for a moment. [Host, there are a few pills of that poison in the Fourth Prince's clothes, in a small white bottle. Do you want to try and see if you can detoxify it?]

Shen Shuangyue scoffed. "Then can you first tell me why you insisted on my saving him? Or let me ask you another question: why does Zhao Rui frequently die in place of the female supporting character? Or let me ask you another question: was it really not premeditated that I went to the wrong interface?"

System, if you tell too many lies, there will be loopholes everywhere. I remember you said that the vicious female supporting character who kidnapped Lu Xin stayed in the capital because she had a crush on Mo Linfeng. But Mo Linfeng came to Nancheng to find me, and I didn't see anyone following Mo Linfeng.

The system pursed its lips and could only reply: [Host, you will know the reason for all this later. I can truly guarantee that if you are killed by the male protagonist or the male supporting actor, you will be able to return to the modern era.]

"Then I have one last question for you. Why did you so vehemently oppose my execution by quartering? Why do I feel breathless when I think of my torn body? Is this related to my lack of memory of modern death?"

The system silently shed tears, its voice choked with sobs: [It is related, but it may be different from what the host thinks.]

Shen Shuangyue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mo Linming, who was drinking alone, and said soothingly, "I didn't expect you to have such a deep friendship with the Fifth Prince. It's just entering a plague village with a prescription. What are you worried about? What's more, I heard from the Fourth Prince that you gave him a lot of manpower.

She jokingly said, "It's like he can't get out."

Mo Linming's heart skipped a beat. Was it their actions that made Shuangyue suspicious?

Did Shuangyue guess that they had memories of their previous two lives?

He could only sigh, "Sister, do you really want me to admit that I don't care about the Fifth Prince? Actually, I'm worried about Father. Second Brother heard some unfavorable gossip about Father."

Shen Shuangyue nodded in understanding. "No wonder Mo Linqing and Mo Linfeng were in a bad mood today. Well, drinking to drown your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful. Let's not drink anymore."

Originally, the wine was just a prop for Shen Shuangyue to test the system. Now that she got the answer she wanted, there was no need to drink it.

She took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "I heard that if you are hired to steal something, you have to pay twice the value of the stolen item. I will hire you to help me steal the white medicine bottle from the Fourth Prince's pocket."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mo Linming did not accept the money and quietly left the room.

He didn't know that Shen Shuangyue had also put on black clothes and followed him.

Mo Linming's stealing process went smoothly. He hid in the dark and opened the medicine bottle. He saw several pills inside. He poured two pills into his handkerchief and then walked back.

Shen Shuangyue's eyes darkened, and she returned to the inn before Mo Linming.

She opened the medicine bottle in front of Mo Linming, her expression becoming serious, "I don't know how to cure this medicine."

She handed the medicine bottle to Mo Linming and said, "Could you please ask the doctor if he can find an antidote?"

Mo Linming nodded and left the inn again.

This time, Shen Shuangyue didn't follow him. She just thought to herself, "System, I haven't seen the antidote for this poison, but judging by the combination of drugs, it seems that there's basically no one who can cure it."

System: [Alas, the Fourth Prince specifically sent people to find this poison, and no antidote was found until the end. I was just being optimistic.]

Shen Shuangyue closed her eyes and said, "Forget about him, let's figure out how to log off!"

Huh? I suddenly thought of a way to die. If I were poisoned and needed to fight poison with poison, and I took the antidote before they gave it to me, and then drank the antidote again, would I be poisoned to death?

The system pretended to be calm: [Yes, yes, yes! Sounds feasible! Come on, host!]
