Husband, Be A Gentleman 『Liskook』

Chapter 22

'You?' Lisa asked.

Jungkook nodded his head. 'While you're suspecting other people, other people are suspecting your husband.'

Lisa thought it was reasonable other people would suspect jungkook who was a prince. But she glanced at his arm wrapped around her waist then at his free hand that was comfortably holding a cup of tea... she didn't believe he sent those assassins.

Lisa knew if jungkook sent assassins, his enemies would be killed cleanly and none of his assassins would die.

'I almost forgot one more person,' jungkook said.

'Who else?' Lisa asked.

Jungkook looked at the dark blue sky outside. 'Imperial father.'

In the Chi Ruan chamber of the palace the emperor was reading reports from Southern Jiang. Although the news reported were good, he wasn't happy.

Wang Fu Mu, the emperor's advisor stood beside the emperor. He didn't fault the emperor for being unhappy. He knew the emperor was someone who liked all situations to be controlled within his hand.

'Wang Fu Mu,' the emperor said.

'Your servant is here,' Wang Fu Mu hunched his back and stepped toward the emperor.

'Who do you think did it?' the emperor asked.

'I think anyone is a possibility,' Wang Fu Mu said.

The emperor laughed coldly. 'I only wanted to see their true hearts and sacrificed some assassins. I didn't expect two assassins from outside the palace dared to enter the palace.'

'Your majesty, don't be angry,' Wang Fu Mu said.

'Go bring tenth crown prince and ninth prince here!' the emperor ordered.

'Yes your majesty,' Wang Fu Mu said.

Back in jungkook and Lisa's chamber, she was shocked by who he suspected.

'How can that be?' Lisa asked.

'Why not?' Jungkook asked. 'Imperial father is capable of anything.'

'Why would he order assassins to attack himself and his sons?' Lisa asked.

Lisa didn't believe the emperor would do something foolish.

Jungkook felt cold thinking about his ruthless father. He hugged Lisa and spoke in a sad tone. 'Wife, you don't understand him. I think he did it to see who he should support to become his heir.'

Lisa reflected on jungkook's words for a while. 'It's possible he wants to see in a life and death situation who would save him.'

Jungkook nodded his head. 'He is someone who doesn't easily trust another person.'

Lisa took a deep breath, it was an insane situation. But if the emperor was the culprit then his purpose was to see who he could trust without risking anyone's life.

'Big brother, do you think seventh prince's wish will be granted?' Lisa asked.

'Perhaps,' jungkook said.

'Then last night the emperor acted outraged?' Lisa asked.

'Your father-in-law is also someone who knows how to perform well,' jungkook praised.

Lisa felt jungkook's body relaxed a little.

'Wife, do you think seventh brother or crown prince will make a better emperor?' Jungkook asked.

Jungkook asked Lisa a question that the world speculated secretly. But his teasing tone felt like he was asking her, 'which taste better, a white radish or a carrot?'
