The Queen Mother was a little puzzled after hearing this and asked, "Why are you so anxious to get married? Is there a girl you like?"

Mo Yinan knew that the emperor was already wary of him, and if he married General Chu's daughter, it would certainly cause unwarranted suspicion.

But now that something like this has happened, he can't care about all that. In short, he has a clear conscience.

So he didn't intend to hide it and said directly: "I have a girl I like. So I hope my aunt can help me."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother sat up straighter and asked with some interest, "Oh? Which girl could catch your eye?"

"General Chu's eldest daughter, Chu Qianyu."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her smiling lips froze, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Then he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Why did you suddenly fall in love with the daughter of General Chu? I heard that this girl has a cowardly personality. It's not suitable for her to be the regent princess."

"Why don't I look for you again? There may be someone more suitable."

Mo Yinan raised his eyelids, his eyes were cold as ice, and he said in a distant tone: "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother. I won't bother you with worrying about my marriage. It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, he stood up, bowed, and walked out.

The Queen Mother looked at his back as he left, shaking with anger. She then picked up the cup on the table and threw it to the ground.

Then he angrily said, "How outrageous! Now he doesn't take me and the emperor seriously anymore."

"Qinghe, tell Situ that I want to make the poison in Mo Yinan's body more serious. It would be best if he can't get out of bed! Then he can't marry Chu Qianyu. If that doesn't work, start with Chu Qianyu!"

"Yes, I'll go right away." Qinghe agreed and walked out quickly.

After Mo Yinan returned to the Regent's Palace, Qingfeng also came back.

"Your Majesty, I just went to investigate. It was the second young lady of the Chu family and Prince Yu who did that at the Spring Banquet today. But for some reason, the rumor spread that it was the eldest young lady. And Prince Yu has already gone to General Chu's mansion and told General Chu that he wants to take the second young lady as his concubine."

"How did the second Miss Chu get to Prince Yu's room?" A hint of doubt flashed in Mo Yinan's eyes.

Qingfeng remembered what An Yi said, and the scene he saw when he turned back. His expression became a little strange and he said, "It was done by the maid next to Miss Chu."

Mo Yinan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's interesting. It seems that Miss Chu may not be what she seems. Let An Yi and An Er continue to watch."

Then he said, "I will go to the general's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow. You should spread the news now. Don't let others misunderstand that my future princess has a relationship with Prince Yu."

When Qingfeng heard this, his eyes widened into a circle, full of disbelief, and he was so surprised that he didn't react for a long time.

I thought to myself that the prince must have taken the right medicine today. But when I thought about what happened in the suburban courtyard, I suddenly understood. Maybe after that incident, the prince fell in love with Miss Chu. As I thought about it, I nodded unconsciously and confirmed what I thought.

Then he heard his own prince's voice again, "Oh, by the way, we have to go to Duke Mu's mansion and tell the queen mother that I have already informed her that the marriage with their eldest daughter is off. Let her wake up in ten days."

After Mo Yinan finished speaking, he didn't hear Qingfeng's reply. He turned around and saw him in a daze.

His voice dropped slightly: "What are you thinking about?"

"No, no, no, I'll do it right away." Qingfeng came back to his senses, shook his head like a rattle, and quickly agreed before running out.

Mo Yinan returned to the room, his heart suddenly tightened, the sudden pain made his whole body tense.

His eyes were as dark as ink, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He stood there for a long time without moving.

"It's almost the 15th of this month, and I don't know if the Moon God Doctor will show up on the 15th of this month. She didn't show up last month for some reason." Mo Yinan muttered to himself.

Two years ago, he was poisoned, and all the doctors he visited had no effect. Fortunately, Dr. Yue appeared and was able to suppress the spread of the poison. He had to come and give him acupuncture on the 15th of every month.

If he didn't come on the fifteenth day, he would have to endure tremendous pain, as if his chest was piercing his bones and it felt like millions of ants were drilling into it.

Then, for the next month, it would occasionally occur every one or two days, just like today. Unless the divine doctor came to give him acupuncture on the 15th, he would be like a normal person for the next month.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mo Yinan finally felt the pain ease a little. Then he slowly walked to the chair and sat down. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and leaned back in the chair.

-

The people on the street were originally discussing what happened between Prince Yu and the eldest daughter of the Chu family at the Spring Banquet, especially since Prince Yu brought a lot of things to the General's Mansion today, which further confirmed what they thought.

But suddenly an inappropriate voice came out.

"I heard that Prince Yu went to the General's Mansion to take the second daughter of the Chu family as his concubine. How could you think of the eldest daughter?"

"Who are you? How do you know so much?"

The man smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a relative working in the Princess's villa. If you don't believe me, just wait and see who Prince Yu marries in a while and you'll know." After that, he got up and left.

The people who were left talking looked at each other and no one said anything for a while.

After a while, someone tentatively asked, "Tell me, is what that person just said true?"

"That should be the case. He is so confident. After some time, we will know clearly which young lady of the Chu family will marry Prince Yu."

Soon, the people's discussion changed from Chu Qianyu to Chu Xiaozhu. Qingfeng watched from the dark as the topic was successfully diverted, and then he continued to walk towards the direction of Duke Mu's mansion.

After Chu Qianyu fainted in the hall and was carried back, she opened her eyes as soon as she entered the room, got off Shao Ying, and sat down to the side. There was no sign of poisoning.

"Has what happened just now been reported to the old lady?" Chu Qianyu asked as she took a sip of tea.

"The old lady should have known about it by now."

"Well, keep an eye on the old lady these few days. If anyone comes to propose marriage to my father, especially the wife of the Minister of Rites, come and inform me immediately."

"Don't worry, young lady. I will make arrangements later."

"Ah."

The next day, Chu Jun returned to the mansion after the morning court session and was about to go to Yunying as usual. Before he took two steps, he was called over by the old lady.

When the old lady came back yesterday, it was almost dark when she woke up. When she heard that Prince Yu wanted to take Xiaozhu as his concubine, she also remembered the rumors from others at the Spring Banquet. This made her toss and turn and she couldn't sleep well all night.

That's why she asked people to wait at the gate of the mansion, and call him to her as soon as Chu Jun came back.

Chu Qianyu had already paid her respects in the old lady's room. The old lady didn't bother to pay attention to her, which left Qianyu at ease.

Soon Chu Jun came in and looked at the old man and said, "Mom, do you want to talk to me about something? Why is she so anxious?"

The old lady looked at him with a sullen face and said, "Xiao Zhu..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly didn't know how to continue.

"Mother, don't worry about this matter. Since Xiaozhu can do such a thing, just let her fend for herself in the future."
