The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Su Yuejian picked up the long sword behind him, filled with grief and anger.

"This is Frost, my mother's sword. She practices with it every day and polishes it meticulously. But someone has poisoned the tassel!"

A look of shock flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes. He never thought that there was another hidden story behind Lu Jinru's death.

"Falling Goose Hidden?" Xiao Heng asked.

"Yeah." Su Yuejian nodded slightly, tears falling down her eyes, her eyes full of anger.

"Falling Goose Treasure is a chronic poison specifically targeting martial artists with profound internal energy. It is colorless and odorless. Initially, the poisoned individual will only feel fatigue and a slight chill, but their internal energy will gradually drain away, their tendons and veins damaged, and they will eventually become disabled and die weeping blood."

Xiao Heng's pupils trembled slightly.

Su Yue saw the crying sound mournful and said intermittently,

"Do you know... the viciousness of this Luoyanzang... is that those poisoned can feel their internal energy dissipating day by day, but they are powerless to do anything about it, and can only watch helplessly as they become a cripple..."

"No wonder my mother never danced with a sword again. It wasn't that... she didn't want to, but she couldn't..."

Su Yuejian's shoulders trembled violently, and she cried angrily.

"Why!! Why did it have to be Luoyanzang!!!"

Xiao Heng's heart sank, and he suddenly hugged Su Yuejian tightly in his arms, gently stroking her back.

He knew very well why she was so excited and angry. Lu Jinru had been practicing martial arts since childhood and had great skills. He was also such a high-spirited and arrogant person.

There are countless poisons in the world that can kill people, but the person who poisoned chose the most vicious one.

This is not only to take her life, but also to kill her heart. How vicious!

Xiao Heng held Su Yuejian in his arms, but he noticed that her whole body was very cold in the hottest days of summer.

The color in his eyes grew darker, and his grip tightened a bit, trying to warm her up.

After a long time, the person in his arms finally stopped crying.

Su Yue saw that his eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred, and he said hatefully, "I will make the person who harmed my mother pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold!"

"Okay." Xiao Heng responded, patting her back lightly, a hint of ruthless murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He will make that person regret coming into this world.

Su Yuejian slowly calmed down and wanted to get out of his arms, but Xiao Heng held her waist tightly and refused to let go.

Su Yue was helpless and could only lean back, her voice a little hoarse.

"I have poison on my hands. How dare you touch me? If you get poison on me..."

"fine."

Xiao Heng kissed the top of her head lightly.

"No."

Su Yuejian broke free from his arms, turned around and ran to the outer room to wash.

Xiao Heng looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Su Yuejian finished cleaning and walked into the inner room.

At this time, Xiao Heng was already sitting on the Arhat couch.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Su Yuejian walked in and wanted to sit on the other side, but he pulled her over and hugged her to sit on his lap.

"You!" Su Yuejian felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, held her cold hand, and a look of displeasure appeared between his brows.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Everything was normal before I came back.

Su Yue said, "It's nothing. I gave myself a few injections. I have to get a decent pulse to hide it from Elder Wen. I'll be fine in a while."

Xiao Heng frowned a little tighter and held Su Yuejian tighter, wanting to transfer his warmth to her.

Feeling that she was being hugged tightly, Su Yuejian felt helpless, "Your Highness, it's summer, aren't you too hot?"

"Ache."

Xiao Heng suddenly said.

Su Yuejian blinked in confusion, "What did the prince say?"

Xiao Heng stared at her with his dark eyes, and said word by word, "Ah, Che."

Su Yuejian suddenly chuckled.

She never expected that the regent was such a childish guy.

"A Che." Su Yuejian called softly.

"Yeah." Xiao Heng curled his lips in satisfaction and pecked her on the lips, "Good girl."

Su Yuejian smiled faintly and said no more.

Seeing the person in his arms frowning and looking worried, Xiao Heng asked gently, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Yuejian said, "I'm wondering what kind of deep hatred the person who poisoned my mother has against her. Or, is it possible that he is targeting not only my mother, but also the Su family or the Lu family?"

"Luoyanzang comes from Xihe. The production of this poison requires a rare flower unique to Xihe, called Lycoris radiata. Tianjin does not have this poison. But my mother has nothing to do with Xihe..."

Su Yuejian was puzzled.

Xiao Heng's eyes dimmed and his expression was gloomy and unclear.

"Manjushage is revered as an auspicious flower in Xihe Country and is only used by the royal family. Every time Xihe envoys come to Beijing to pay homage, they present this flower."

Su Yue’s body stiffened and his face suddenly darkened.

Noticing something strange about the person in his arms, Xiao Heng knew what she was thinking.

He looked at her and said, "He won't."

Su Yuejian said coldly, "No? The Falling Goose Treasure will cause the loss of internal energy. It's impossible for my mother not to notice something's wrong with me, but she has never said anything, not even telling my father. Why is that?"

Seeing the unfamiliar coldness in Su Yuejian's eyes, Xiao Heng's chest suddenly tightened.

Su Yuejian read every word and said in a cold voice, "If the king wants me to die, I must die."

"My royal brother won't."

Xiao Heng hugged her tightly and repeated it again.

"My brother was in danger many times, and your mother always saved him. You could say that your mother single-handedly fought for his throne."

"It's not that my Royal Brother can't distinguish between loyal and treacherous people. The Lu family has been loyal for generations and commands an army of 300,000. If my Royal Brother really feared the Lu family, then the Lu family army wouldn't have guarded the border for so many years, let alone used Lu Xiao and Lu Lang."

Su Yuejian lowered his eyes in deep thought.

She knew that what Xiao Heng said made sense. If the emperor wanted to get rid of the Lu or Su family, he would not have allowed the Duke of Huguo to prosper for so many years.

Although she had never met the emperor, she knew very well that as an emperor, the master of all, he would do anything for power.

After a long pause, she said, "I want to know where the red spider lilies that were offered as a gift are now."

Xiao Heng said in a deep voice, "I'll send someone to check the records from previous years tomorrow."

He looked down at Su Yuejian, and seeing that her face was still not good, he promised seriously,

"I promise you, no matter who it is, I won't let him go."

Su Yuejian looked at the determination in Xiao Heng's eyes and was speechless for a moment.

If it turns out that he is indeed the emperor...

So what should they do?

Su Yuejian did not respond, but just lowered her head silently.

Seeing her worry and uneasiness, a dark glint appeared in Xiao Heng's eyes.

Suddenly, he stood up and got off the bed holding Su Yuejian.

Su Yue was startled by his sudden action. Fearing that she would fall, she instinctively hooked her hands around his neck.

"what you do?!"

"I'm sleepy."

???

Su Yuejian's face was full of confusion.

Xiao Heng carried her to the bed, bent down and skillfully helped her take off her shoes and socks.

Su Yuejian's pretty face flushed instantly, and she immediately pulled the thin quilt over her feet.

"You...you...how can you be so rude!"

She was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but afraid of being heard by others, so she lowered her voice.

Xiao Heng smiled softly, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.
