Chapter 239 The conspiracy emerges

As night fell, the prosperity of the capital was shrouded in a layer of light mist. Lin Yuxin, wearing a light pink dress, hurried through the quiet alley and came to the remote courtyard where she had agreed to meet Su Mo.

In the courtyard, Su Mo had been waiting for a long time. He was tall and straight, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but at this moment his handsome face was full of sadness.

Lin Yuxin walked up to Su Mo with lotus steps, her beautiful eyes showing concern and confusion: "Su Mo, why did you invite me here so eagerly today?"

Su Mo took a deep breath, held Lin Yuxin's hands, and looked at her firmly: "Xin'er, I have a favor to ask of you. This matter concerns life and death, and the blood feud of our family."

Lin Yuxin trembled slightly, and a bad premonition surged in her heart: "What is it? Don't scare me."

Su Mo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that your twin sister is about to marry the disfigured eldest prince and become his consort?"

Lin Yuxin nodded gently, with a trace of regret on her face: "I know that my sister has a bad fate. She has to marry a man like that. I really feel sad for her."

Su Mo's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said solemnly: "Yuxin, I beg you to do me a favor and marry the eldest prince for your sister."

Lin Yuxin was horrified, and suddenly broke free from Su Mo's hand and took a few steps back: "What? Su Mo, are you crazy? How can this be possible!"

Su Mo took a step forward and held Lin Yuxin's hand again, saying anxiously:

"Yuxin, listen to me. My real name is Shen Mingmo, and I am the son of Prince Li who was purged three years ago.

My family has never been involved in a rebellion. It is the current emperor who is trying to eliminate dissidents and persecute us maliciously.

The late emperor originally wanted my father to succeed to the throne, but he died unexpectedly, giving the current emperor the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Over the years, Prince Li's residence has been walking on thin ice and being very cautious, but they never expected that they would still not be able to escape the fate of being liquidated in the end."

Lin Yuxin widened her eyes and looked at Su Mo in disbelief: "How...how is this possible?"

Su Mo's eyes were glistening with tears, and his voice was filled with deep pain: "Xin'er, everything I said is true. My family members have died or been exiled. I am living in this world just to get revenge one day."

"Now, this is a perfect opportunity. If you marry the eldest prince for your sister and poison him on the wedding night, you will not only help your sister escape her fate, but also help me get revenge."

Lin Yuxin's face turned pale, and she shook her head desperately: "No, Su Mo, this is too dangerous. Once discovered, I will die without a burial place."

Su Mo hugged Lin Yuxin tightly in his arms, his voice gentle but pleading:

"Xin'er, I know this is difficult for you, but this is our only chance. As long as we succeed, I will never let you down. When I succeed to the throne, I will definitely make you the queen and let you enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Lin Yuxin leaned in Su Mo's arms, her heart was in turmoil. She loved the man in front of her and was willing to give everything for him, but such an adventure made her feel scared and uneasy.

"Su Mo, I'm scared. What will happen to my family if something happens to me?" Lin Yuxin's voice was trembling.

Su Mo stroked her hair gently and comforted her, "Yuxin, don't worry. I have made a thorough plan. As long as you do as I say, nothing will happen. After that, I will arrange for someone to properly place your family."

Lin Yuxin raised her head and looked at Su Mo's expectant eyes, feeling conflicted. She knew that once she agreed, she would be on a path of no return, but for the sake of her beloved and the uncertain future, she was a little moved.

"Su Mo, let me think about it again..." Lin Yuxin broke free from Su Mo's arms, turned around, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Mo walked up to Lin Yuxin, put his hands on her shoulders, and said affectionately: "Yuxin, time is running out. If you don't help me, we will never have a chance to turn things around, and we will only be oppressed by that tyrant forever. Can you bear to watch me bear the blood feud of my family and be powerless to do anything?"

Lin Yuxin bit her lip, and the balance in her heart gradually tilted. She thought of every detail of her acquaintance with Su Mo, and his tenderness and care for her. Finally, she nodded: "Okay, Su Mo, I promise you. But you must ensure my safety, and the safety of my family."

Su Mo showed an ecstatic expression on his face, and hugged Lin Yuxin again: "Yuxin, thank you. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Lin Yuxin leaned in Su Mo's arms, but her heart was full of uneasiness. She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, nor did she know what was waiting for her in the future.

"Su Mo, what should we do next?" Lin Yuxin asked.

Su Mo took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuxin: "This is poison, colorless and tasteless. You only need to put it in the eldest prince's wine on the wedding night, and he will be poisoned to death."

Lin Yuxin took the porcelain bottle, her hands shaking a little: "Can this poison really kill him without anyone noticing?"

Su Mo nodded: "Don't worry, I bought this from a stranger at a high price, there will be no problem."

Lin Yuxin carefully put away the porcelain bottle and asked, "How can I contact you after I get married?"

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I will arrange for my confidant to meet you near the Grand Prince's Palace. You can pass on any news you have to him."

Lin Yuxin took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Okay, I'll remember it all."

Su Mo held Lin Yuxin's hand, his eyes full of affection and gratitude: "Yuxin, you took this risk for me. If it succeeds, I will not let you down."

Lin Yuxin forced a smile: "I just hope you can get revenge as soon as possible and revive your family."

At this time, the night was getting deeper, and a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Lin Yuxin couldn't help but shiver, and Su Mo took off his cloak and put it on her.

"Yuxin, when you go back, be careful and don't reveal any flaws." Su Mo warned.

Lin Yuxin nodded and turned away. Her figure gradually went away in the night. Su Mo looked at her back and swore in his heart that he must make everything go according to plan and not let Lin Yuxin get hurt.

Lin Yuxin returned home and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Mo's words and the bottle of poison kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I had no choice." Lin Yuxin said silently in her heart.

……

The next morning, Lin Yuxin got up early and went to her sister's room. Her sister Lin Yuxi was embroidering some small things for the wedding.

"Sister." Lin Yuxin called softly.

Lin Yuxi turned around and saw Lin Yuxin, and smiled: "Xin'er, why are you here?"

Lin Yuxin walked to Lin Yuyao and held her hand: "Sister, your wedding is just a few days away, I...I can't bear to leave you."
