Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Xia Qinghan pointed at Xia Ruoling, her fingers trembling violently.

"You're actually siding with him! Are you even my seventh sister?!"

Xia Ruoling lowered her head, picking at her nails with both hands.

"But... the Great Xia Dynasty is gone, and we are prisoners now."

Xia Ruoling muttered softly.

"Moreover, what Third Brother did in the past was indeed very excessive."

"He emptied the national treasury to build a wine pool and meat forest, he executed the entire families of those ministers who dared to remonstrate with him, and even threw newborn babies to their deaths in the Golden Palace."

"Before, he even wanted to send us to those northern barbarian envoys for their amusement!"

Xia Ruoling became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, her eyes reddening.

"If Lin Mo hadn't stormed into the capital, we might be slaves in some northern barbarian tent right now!"

"Shut up!"

Xia Qinghan interrupted sharply.

"What Third Brother did was wrong, but Great Xia is our home!"

Xia Qinghan covered her face with her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

"That bastard... he plotted to usurp the throne, he's a traitor!"

"What's wrong with being a traitor?"

Xia Ruoling pouted.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; he's the emperor now."

"Moreover, I heard that he issued an edict exempting the people of Kyushu from taxes for three years and also ordered the construction of free schools and clinics."

"Everyone outside praises him as a wise ruler for all time."

Xia Qinghan was stunned.

Tax free? A private school?

The man who was so rough and brutal in bed, tormenting her to the point of death, actually did these things?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"You're talking nonsense! He's just a tyrannical ruler who lusts after beautiful women!"

Xia Qinghan gritted her teeth.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Xia Ruoling raised her head.

"Besides, he's really good-looking."

"They're much better looking than those greasy young noblemen that Father arranged marriages for us with."

Xia Ruoling cupped her cheeks in her hands, her face full of infatuation.

"Shoulders so broad, and height so tall."

"Wearing a black dragon robe, standing there like a god..."

"Xia Ruoling!"

Xia Qinghan completely broke down.

She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it hard at Xia Ruoling.

"Get out of here! I don't want to see you, you shameless fangirl!"

Xia Ruoling caught the pillow steadily and hugged it to her arms.

"Ninth Sister, don't be angry."

Xia Ruoling moved a little closer.

"I overheard the palace maids in Fengyi Palace gossiping about him, saying he... is particularly skilled in that area?"

"The Empress Dowager's voice was hoarse from screaming last night, and she couldn't even walk this morning. She had to be carried back to her palace by the palace maids."

"You were there last night too, is he really that good?"

Xia Qinghan's face flushed bright red instantly, all the way down to the roots of her neck.

Memories of last night flooded back like a tide.

That burning hot body temperature.

That irresistible force.

After that tearing pain came a chilling, soul-piercing dread.

She clearly hated that man.

But the body's memory is terrifyingly honest.

Whenever she recalls that scene, an indescribable heat surges through her body.

Xia Qinghan buried her face in the blanket, her voice muffled.

"Seventh Sister, stop talking! I don't want to hear it!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Xia Ruoling pushed the plate forward.

"Get up and eat this plum blossom cake right now. If you starve to death, how will I face my deceased mother?"

"I won't eat it. If he wants to kill me, let him!"

Xia Qinghan gripped the blanket tightly.

Xia Ruoling was so anxious that she stomped her feet, completely losing her patience.

"Your temper is as hard as a rock!"

"You wouldn't eat the elixir that Eunuch Li brought earlier, and now you're refusing to eat anything! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"

"That pill might actually be some kind of poison! He's trying to kill me!"

"What kind of poison comes in such a pretty box! If you won't eat it, then give it to me!"

Outside the door, Lin Mo shook his head as he listened.

How did this enlightened swordsmanship end up in such a naive and innocent person?

However, it did save a lot of trouble.

Lin Mo looked at Xia Ruoling's data on the system panel.

Appearance rating 96, Clear Sword Heart, reward: Top-tier sword formation diagram and forty years of cultivation.

The genes of the Great Xia royal family are indeed top-notch.

Any princess you pick out is a gem.

These two sisters have such contrasting personalities.

A cold and stubborn person.

A naive, foolish, and innocent girl.

If they were placed together...

Wonderful! ! !

Lin Mo's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

He raised his hand.

Push the door open.

crunch--

The wooden door made a soft creak.

The sounds in the room suddenly stopped.

Xia Qinghan and Xia Ruoling turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.

Lin Mo, dressed in a black casual outfit, stepped across the threshold with his hands behind his back.

"Since the Seventh Princess wants to eat, I have more here."

Lin Mo strode over to the round table.

Pull out a chair and sit down.

His gaze swept over Xia Qinghan and Xia Ruoling.

Xia Qinghan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body instinctively shrank to the corner of the bed.

She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, wrapping herself up completely.

Only a wary face was visible.

He looked just like a frightened rabbit.

Xia Ruoling was still holding half a plum blossom cake in her hand, staring blankly at Lin Mo.

His eyes revealed a clear-eyed stupidity.

"What...what are you doing here!"

Xia Qinghan's voice trembled.

Lin Mo ignored her.

He turned to look at Xia Ruoling.

"Is this plum blossom cake delicious?"

Xia Ruoling paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

"So...delicious."

"Let me have a taste."

Lin Mo extended his hand.

Xia Ruoling looked at the half-eaten plum blossom cake in her hand, and then at Lin Mo.

Two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She quickly stuffed the remaining half of the plum blossom cake into her mouth.

He chewed it haphazardly a couple of times and swallowed it.

Then he turned around, picked up a whole piece from the plate, and presented it to Lin Mo with both hands.

"Your Majesty...please use it."

Lin Mo accepted the plum blossom cake.

He deliberately ran his fingertips across Xia Ruoling's fair and delicate hand.

Xia Ruoling shuddered, pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, and buried her head even lower.

"Seventh Sister!"

Xia Qinghan was so angry she almost fainted.

"Stay away from him!"

Xia Qinghan shouted at Xia Ruoling.

This silly sister doesn't even realize she's being taken advantage of!

Lin Mo took a bite of the plum blossom cake.

It is too sweet.

I tossed it into the plate without thinking.

He stood up and walked step by step to the bedside.

Looking down at Xia Qinghan, who was huddled in the corner.

"She has quite a temper."

Lin Mo took out the sandalwood brocade box from his sleeve pocket.

pat.

Unlock the latch.

A rich, exotic fragrance instantly filled the entire bedroom.

Xia Ruoling sniffed.

"It smells so good."

Lin Mo took out the pink anti-aging pill and handed it to Xia Qinghan.

Li Dequan said, "You refuse to eat?"

Xia Qinghan turned her head away.

"I won't eat your food! Just kill me!"

Lin Mo chuckled softly.

"Kill you? That would be too easy on you."

Lin Mo reached out his hand.

Xia Qinghan shrank back in fear.

"What are you doing!"

Xia Qinghan spoke.

Lin Mo was quick-witted and agile.

He grabbed Xia Qinghan's chin with his left hand, forcing her to open her mouth.

He shoved the pill directly into Xia Qinghan's mouth with his right hand and then lifted her chin.

"Hmm!"

Xia Qinghan was caught off guard.

I feel like throwing up.

The pill slid straight down his throat.

Gudong.

It melts in your throat, turning into a warm current that flows down your throat.

Xia Qinghan covered her neck and coughed violently.

"What...what did you feed me?!"

"poison."
