The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Emperor Mingde called Jiang Zaiyu to rank, his tone full of alienation.

Jiang Zaiyu had regained his composure by now, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your son and the princess will leave now."

Su Yinyue still felt a little unsatisfied, but she also knew when to stop.

"Thank you, father, for your reward, my daughter-in-law."

Emperor Mingde didn't want to see her again for a while, so he turned his back and said, "Well, you two should kneel down and pay your respects."

As he turned around, Su Yinyue inadvertently saw the wrinkles on his neck.

Suddenly, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The neck wrinkles of Emperor Mingde are similar to those of a person in his fifties. Why does he only take care of his face and not his neck wrinkles?

Su Yinyue's gaze fell on the stand-up collar of Emperor Mingde's dragon robe. Her intuition told her that the reason Emperor Mingde didn't take care of his neck wrinkles was not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Limited by ancient beauty techniques?

Su Yinyue thought to herself, I didn’t expect the emperor would also care about appearance.

Outside the Qinzheng Palace.

All the servants in Prince Yu's Palace were stunned when they saw the eunuchs transporting goods following Su Yinyue and the others.

"The Emperor gave so many gifts?"

Su Yinyue remained calm, "This is the love that father has for us. Isn't the carriage of the royal palace parked at the gate of the palace? Send some people to move these treasures over there."

"The rest, follow me and the prince to pay respect to the queen."

The Queen must have a lot of good things.

The people in the palace are generous and speak nicely. She likes it here very much!

Thinking of this, Su Yinyue excitedly called Jiang Zaiyu to go to Renming Palace where the queen was. But when she turned around, she met a pair of inquiring eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing." Jiang Zaiyu said, "Go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

Spring began a few days ago. The sky changed from the gray winter sky to a deep blue. The light golden sunlight slanted down, making the surroundings extremely bright.

Su Yinyue, who had been afraid of getting tanned all her life, walked in the shade of the palace wall.

Jiang Zaiyu was full of doubts, and he couldn't help asking until no more palace servants passed by: "Just now, the emperor clearly didn't want to give you the golden seal and the imperial edict, why did you pretend not to know?"

Su Yinyue raised her eyebrows and offered some inspirational words, "Some things are originally very far away, but if you strive for them, they will get closer and closer to you."

At this point, she had a bit of anger on her face, "If it weren't for Huai En, I would have successfully obtained the Golden Seal Book."

Jiang Zaiyu was surprised that she dared to plot against the emperor, "Aren't you afraid that your father will punish you?"

"Why did Father punish me?"

Jiang Zaiyu asked, "Why doesn't the emperor punish you?"

Su Yinyue stopped and asked, "I greeted my father with a smile and was very respectful. Even my own father could not enjoy such treatment. Why would my father punish me?"

"Besides, you are my father's biological son. I will be scolded at most, but you won't kill me."

Jiang Zaiyu pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, his expression somewhat miserable, and said softly: "Not now, but not necessarily in the future..."

Su Yinyue's heart skipped a beat, and a thought flashed through her mind, what if...

What if Jiang Zaiyu's strange illness is related to Emperor Mingde, and if she treats him, will she be killed?

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.

Su Yinyue forced a smile, straightened her sleeves, and said casually, "I don't know why, but I always feel like my father treats you differently."

Jiang Zaiyu's face was still gloomy, and he asked casually, "What's the difference?"

"Everyone in the capital says that you are the emperor's favorite son, but you are so fearful and timid towards him that you don't get close to him at all..."

"It's not that he treated you badly. He built a pharmacy and recruited famous doctors for your strange disease, making everyone in Beijing envious."

"He said he treated you well. He didn't go to the palace to watch the wedding, which was such a big event. He even accepted that your princess was replaced by a concubine so quickly."

Su Yinyue narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned close to Jiang Zaiyu's ear, "It's very strange, isn't it?"

When the warm breath sprayed on Jiang Zai Yu's neck, he curled his fingers subconsciously, his thin lips almost stretched into a straight line, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

Su Yinyue didn't notice his discomfort. She looked at him with a half-smile on her face, but she was actually looking into his eyes. "It's as if you are dying soon, and as a father I am trying my best to make up for it. But I'm also afraid that you won't die..."

These words were like a thunderclap, and Jiang Zaiyu's ears exploded, causing his breathing to stop.

Countless speculations suddenly emerged in my mind, and I couldn't hear what Su Yinyue said next.

Su Yinyue had no idea that he was in turmoil, and her voice was so soft that only a breath could be heard, "He didn't let me be included in the royal family's jade book, and didn't give me the golden seal and treasure book that a princess should have. Could it be that he wanted to completely eliminate your lineage after you die--"

"Ouch, why are you pinching my hand? It hurts!"

Jiang Zaiyu held Su Yinyue's wrist tightly, and his voice became hoarse without him knowing when. "You know?"

"what do you know?"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Zai Yu regretted being too impulsive.

This matter was so secret that even his mother didn't know about it. How could Su Yinyue, a young lady who had just been brought back to the Marquis' Mansion, know about it?

"nothing."

Jiang Zai Yu let go of her hand and continued walking forward.

This time it was Su Yinyue's turn to get to the bottom of things. "You keep asking, why don't you continue? If you don't ask, how can I know what you want to know? You just now showed that you really care about what I know. Only if you ask, can I answer you..."

Jiang Zaiyu looked up at the palace gate not far away and changed the subject abruptly, "We have arrived at Renming Palace. It's time for us to go and pay our respects to our mother."

"I hate the Riddler."

Su Yinyue snorted softly and was the first to cross the palace gate.

As soon as she entered, she saw a woman in palace dress dozing on a soft pillow.

The maid quietly reminded, "Your Majesty, the Prince and Princess have arrived."

Hearing this, the Queen slowly opened her eyes, and seeing Su Yinyue and Jiang Zaiyu preparing to kneel, she hurriedly said, "No need to be so polite, come closer to me."

She was dressed simply and wore heavy makeup, and there was no sign of illness on her face.

But her weak voice and tired eyes still betrayed her poor health.

Seeing Jiang Zaiyu's tall and handsome figure, the queen was pleased and said, "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you have grown up and even got married."

"Mother, you are too kind."

The queen curled her lips and smiled, showing her dignity and grace.

She already knew that it was the Second Miss Su who married the Prince Yu, and she did not bring up the identities of Su Yinyue and Su Qinning. She just patted Su Yinyue's hand and said softly: "You must be the Second Miss of the Su family, right? It's really a sign. Let me take a good look at you——"

Before she could finish her words, the queen suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, her vision went dark, and she fainted without being able to catch her breath.

Su Yinyue was horrified, and before she could feel the Queen's pulse, she was pushed away by the head maid Yingzhu.

"The Queen has fainted, go call the imperial physician!"

"Quick, help the Queen to the bedroom to rest!"

"I will go and inform the emperor!"

"No, the Queen has instructed that she has been seriously ill for a long time and cannot disturb the Emperor for this matter!"

Renming Palace was in chaos, with screams everywhere. The palace servants either went to call the imperial physician or helped the queen into the inner hall. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

Only Su Yinyue and Jiang Zaiyu were left standing there.

Su Yinyue lowered her head and looked at the back of her hand without saying a word. The touch of the queen's warm hands could still be vaguely felt on it.

As soon as he held her hand, the queen fainted. The timing was so well calculated, could she have been tricked?
