“Hu, what about Diana?”
“Her Highness is recovering in the bedroom after fainting and collapsing.”
Raising his imperial eyebrows, the emperor inquired.
“She took the antidote, right? She must have been poisoned along with the Grand Duke.”
“Fortunately, thanks to the antidote that breaks down the poison, Her Highness is unharmed.”
The emperor’s expression stiffened at the doctor’s words.
‘I heard they switched Diana’s cup to one made of narwhal’s tusk.’
Diana, like the Grand Duke, was believed to be poisoned, just like the report that Viscount Fleche had switched the cups. They had supposedly recovered the cup made of unicorn horn.
‘…Ha!’
The intricate puzzle in the emperor’s mind began to fit together.
The Grand Duke, who collapsed weakly in the face of the poison he should have been immune to…
‘This cunning fox! He knew everything about our plan!’
His blood pressure skyrocketed.
Otherwise, it was challenging to explain everything.
The emperor finally realized that their plan had leaked, even to the ears of the Grand Duke.
“Damn it!”
“Your Majesty?”
The fact that Her Highness is unharmed, and he says, “Damn it,” instead of saying, “Thank goodness.”
The doctor looked puzzled and glanced at the emperor.
The emperor’s face, filled with anger, was on the verge of exploding. A grinding sound could be heard between his closed lips.
“It’s nothing. I’m just saddened to see my precious niece in such a weak state.”
“Yes, it’s truly fortunate that Her Highness is well.”
“…Yes, extremely fortunate.”
The value of the merchandise shouldn’t decrease. Diana, you can still be useful. The emperor’s gaze when thinking of Diana was chilling.
To the emperor, Diana was just a means to solidify his position—neither more nor less.
He had planned to use her to execute the Grand Duke, turning the accusation of poisoning the princess back on him. Furthermore, after removing the Grand Duke, he had planned to marry her for political purposes.
The person who had promised to send Diana as the third wife of the aging emperor of a foreign country was the emperor himself.
Of course, it had nothing to do with Diana’s intentions.
He had agreed to provide 70% cheaper iron ore for ten years as a condition for receiving Diana as a wife.
“Just to be safe, make sure Her Highness takes the antidote as well.”
“Yes, understood.”
The emperor, accompanied by knights and the doctor, left the room.
He needed to meet Viscount Fleche immediately.
To question him about the responsibility for the failure of this plan and to cover up the pretext given to the Grand Duke.
As the emperor stepped out of the door, he encountered Rose, who was anxiously waiting outside.
The emperor quickly recognized who she was.
‘Serbiatte Viscountess’s daughter.’
He couldn’t help but recognize Rose, who resembled the Viscountess Serbiatte.
‘Serbiatte de Rose…’
The culprit who ruined their last plan.
She was inevitably involved in this incident as well.
The emperor looked at Rose with disdain.
‘A foolish woman has made things very complicated.’
That day, the Grand Duke had to be accused as the murderer of Viscount Blade.
If that had happened, things wouldn’t have become so complicated.
‘…I should have killed that guy along with Duke Artem.’
After chasing Viscount Wens’s tail, today he came hand in hand with his niece, the Grand Duke.
Moreover, in front of numerous nobles, she confessed her love without hesitation.
“Who is this? Isn’t it the beloved daughter of Viscount Serbiate?”
The emperor stopped on his way and raised the corners of his mouth, sneering at Rose.
“The owner of the empire, Emperor Pestona, greets Your Majesty. Has the Grand Duke… awakened?”
Rose, with a flustered face, still greeted the emperor.
Knowing that the emperor was trying to kill the Grand Duke, Rose was desperate when she asked about him.
That’s how curious she was about the Grand Duke’s life or death.
“Grand Duke… Are you okay?”
Holding Rose’s trembling hand, she desperately asked.
Without answering Rose’s question, the emperor asked rather sarcastically.
“But… it’s strange.”
The dry voice of the emperor spread roughly. His voice was filled with hostility.
“Both the Grand Duke and the Princess have collapsed, but you, who shared the wine with them, seem perfectly fine.”
“….!”
For a moment, her mind cleared. Rose, who had been half out of her mind, focused her eyes back on confirming the Grand Duke’s life or death.
In Rose’s eyes, the emperor raised his eyebrows at her question.
‘Could it be… He’s not trying to shift the blame onto the Grand Duke for this incident, is he?’
The uneasy premonition was never wrong.
“The person who was closest to them is you, right?”
As Rose expected, the emperor cast suspicion on her.
In an instant, the air around froze coldly. The emperor’s knights looked at Rose with a posture ready to grab her.
The doctor and the servants also looked at Rose, frowning.
‘Surely, they aren’t all suspecting me, are they?’
Dozens of pupils pierced through Rose. Cold sweat broke out on Rose’s forehead.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
