Before Shen Luoxi could walk in, Shen Huimo's voice arrived first.
"Father, you have locked up my eldest brother for so long, you should..."
Before Shen Huimo finished speaking, he saw Shen Luoxi's back standing outside the study door, and his face instantly turned cold. He stepped forward and pulled Shen Luoxi roughly, and said in a bad tone: "What are you doing here!" I don’t know how much water my married daughter throws away, you..."
He saw Shen Luoxi's beautiful face, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say.
"Where's the black sore on your face?"
Shen Luoxi brushed his hand away calmly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. My father and I still have something to say. Can you ask my second brother to come back later?"
Shen Huimo came back to his senses, and his expression returned to the previous fierceness and disgust, "What good can you do if you come to my father? If you don't bring trouble to the family, you are considered filial!"
"Leave quickly! Father has nothing to say to you! I have nothing to say!"
He drove away Shen Luoxi unceremoniously, but Shen Luoxi just turned to look at Shen Xiang and ignored Shen Huimo.
"Let's go! Why are you still standing here? It's an eyesore!"
"Swipe ink, stop."
As soon as Shen Xiang opened his mouth, Shen Huimo immediately stopped and looked at Shen Xiang in disbelief.
"Father, do you still want to be dragged down by her? She..."
Shen Xiang frowned, "Luoxi did indeed do something wrong, but she is also my daughter. You go out first, and Luoxi and I will talk alone."
Shen Huimo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, raised his head and glared at Shen Luoxi before turning around and stalking away.
"Don't blame your second brother, he is just a straight man." Shen Xiang said quietly: "If you have anything to say, come in and sit down to talk."
"I know that the second brother is also thinking about the family. After all, I was not sensible in the past and made my father and mother worry a lot." Shen Luoxi said softly.
Prime Minister Shen was noncommittal.
He poured a cup of tea for Shen Luoxi, and after sitting down, he quietly looked at his daughter who had become calmer, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
After coming back to his senses, Prime Minister Shen said calmly, "Which famous doctor healed your face?"
"My daughter was cured by accident." Shen Luoxi replied.
Xiang Shen nodded and did not continue to ask.
There is no need to delve into some things. Shen Luoxi said this, and he took it as true.
"You suddenly came here today. Did you hear about your elder brother?"
Shen Luoxi smiled lightly, "Although I don't know the whole story, I guessed that my father was right in locking up my eldest brother. If it were me, I would do the same thing as my father."
Shen Xiang narrowed his eyes and flashed, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Today is the last time I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Shen Luoxi said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Shen tightened his hands.
He looked at Shen Luoxi and hesitated to speak, and in the end there was only silence.
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "I don't know much about the situation in the court, but I understand that the prince and Prince Lian are fighting openly and secretly, and I can see that my father doesn't want to take sides yet." 87
"But my daughter insists on marrying the prince, and her father must have received a lot of criticism in the court, so in order to save the whole family, my daughter knows what to do."
The study fell into silence. After a long time, Prime Minister Shen slowly spoke, "You... have become much more sensible..."
Shen Luoxi smiled and said nothing.
The two of them sat quietly in the study, neither of them taking the initiative to speak.
"It's getting late, I should leave." Shen Luoxi said: "Before I leave, I want to plead for mercy on behalf of my eldest brother. It's enough that my father has imprisoned me for so long. Let me tell your eldest brother what I said today. For the sake of my father, Mother, you will understand."
After that, she got up and walked out.
"Luoxi." Shen Xiang suddenly called her.
Shen Luoxi stopped and turned to look at him, and he continued: "The situation in the court is unclear now. Both we and you must be more careful."
Shen Luoxi smiled and nodded, "My daughter understands."
Shen Xiang watched her walk away and let out a sigh.
…
"stop!"
Shen Luoxi carefully avoided all the servants and went straight to the back door, but Shen Huimo's voice came from behind.
She turned around and raised her eyes to meet Shen Huimo's gloomy face.
"What does second brother want to tell me?"
Shen Huimo snorted coldly and looked at her with an expression full of contempt.
"I don't know what you said to your father, but you'd better come back less often in the future, so as not to bring trouble to the family again. Do you know how many looks and jokes the family received because of your selfish desires!"
"And big brother's leg, even if you heal it, you can't make up for it!"
Shen Luoxi listened to him quietly. No matter how ugly he said, Shen Luoxi didn't refute a word. Shen Luoxi didn't speak slowly until he stopped.
"Second brother, don't worry, you won't see me in the house again." Shen Luoxi replied calmly.
Shen Huimo was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the person was already gone.
Outside the back door, Xueyu waited anxiously. When she saw Shen Luoxi coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, you are finally out!"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "Are you anxious to wait?"
Xueyu shook her head, "Just now, the eldest young master's servant came out and told the servant that the princess was missing. The servant was very anxious, for fear that something would happen to you."
"Now that I see you came out safe and sound, I finally feel at ease."
Shen Luoxi chuckled, "What can I do at home? Okay, everything has been resolved, let's go."
Xueyu nodded and trotted to hire a carriage.
Shen Luoxi glanced at the Prime Minister's Mansion before slowly leaving.
Back at the palace, Shen Luoxi felt a little tired and sentimental for no reason. She clenched her fists and said in her heart, "This is the best way at the moment."
After the words fell, the fatigue and sentimentality faded a lot.
Shen Luoxi regained her composure and walked into the palace, and immediately a guard ran to her anxiously.
"Princess, you are back! Something happened to the prince!"
Shen Luoxi frowned and followed the guard quickly to Cang Yunxuan's room.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ning Yanran taking out a bottle of medicine with red eyes and preparing to give it to Cang Yunxuan.
"What are you doing?" Shen Luoxi asked coldly.
Ning Yanran's hand that was about to feed the medicine trembled, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes. When she turned to look at Shen Luoxi, she returned to her usual fragile self.
"Sister, I, I want to save the prince..."
"Although I am not as good at medicine as my sister, I still know a little bit about it. Thinking that my sister has not come back yet, but the prince is so uncomfortable, I want to give it a try. Maybe I can save the prince..."
Shen Luoxi stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yanran's medicine, put it under his nose and smelled it, and looked at Ning Yanran with a more meaningful look.
"Although the Forgettable Pill is not considered poison, it is not a good medicine either. If my sister feeds this medicine to the prince, even if the prince wakes up and recovers, he will definitely become addicted in the future and become a useless person."
"Sister, what are you worried about?"
