Xiao Heng nodded slightly.

Su Yuejian's dim eyes suddenly brightened up and she smiled.

Baihua Tower is not only Prince Gong's money bag, but also a good place for him to collect intelligence.

Although the business of Baihualou is not as good as before, a place like a brothel will attract customers sooner or later as long as there are enough beauties.

She suddenly frowned and thought, how could a thief burn down the entire Baihua Tower.

Turning to look at Xiao Heng with a raised eyebrow and a smile, he instantly understood.

This was his doing.

With a curved eye,

"Ache's fire was set just in time. I heard that Xiao Chengchang was recuperating. I was thinking of taking advantage of his illness to kill him these past two days."

Xiao Heng's lips curled up into a smile, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Xuan Shuang had told him long ago that Su Yuejian had sent secret guards to scout Baihua Tower in the past few days.

He guessed that she was planning to completely eliminate Xiao Chengchang's source of money.

Xiao Heng lifted the person up and hugged him tighter.

"Then how will Zhao Zhao reward me?"

"award?"

"Ah."

Xiao Heng's eyes were filled with dark colors. He pinched her small chin and stroked her lips with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yuejian was slightly startled, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks turned completely red.

The voice was a little flustered, "The sky is clear..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Heng tightly blocked her lips, deftly pried open her teeth, and kissed her gently. As his breathing became heavier, the kiss became deeper and deeper.

Su Yuejian trembled slightly as she endured his love.

Finally, when the person in his arms was almost out of breath, he let her go, and instead began to give her small kisses on the corners of her lips, her chin, all the way to her neck, burying his head in her neck and shoulder, breathing slightly.

Su Yuejian snuggled softly in his arms, her amber eyes misty and moist, her face flushed, pure and charming, seductive without realizing it.

"Zhao Zhao, will you marry me?"

Xiao Heng's voice was alluring as he whispered seductively into her ear.

The person in his arms didn't respond for a long time.

Xiao Heng's eyes were dark and dark. "What are you afraid of?"

Su Yuejian didn't say anything, but just hugged him tightly.

Xiao Heng didn't say anything else, just held her quietly, lowering his eyes to hide the darkness in them.

......

Prince Gong's Mansion

Xiao Chengchang's face turned pale and he roared angrily,

"How could such a large fire go unchecked? The people in Jingzhao Prefecture are just sitting there doing nothing!"

There was a fire in Baihua Tower. Although the thieves were caught, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the fire. How could two mere thieves burn down the entire Baihua Tower!

However, a careful investigation by the Jingzhao Prefecture revealed that it was the hot and dry weather that caused the fire set by the thieves to spread over a large area.

An Er and Ye Zong knelt on the ground, buried their heads, and dared not breathe.

Xiao Chengchang's hands were clenched so tightly that they creaked, and there was anger and viciousness intertwined in his eyes.

He knew this was no accident.

Baihualou was the largest brothel in Kyoto, which had brought him countless profits and benefits over the years. Now it was destroyed overnight. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!

In the past few days, he had been buying all kinds of rare medicinal herbs for Du Laoguai every day. Last time, he was cheated out of such a large sum of money in Wanbao Pavilion. In addition, he had soldiers to support under his command, so the money in his hands was already stretched to the limit.

At this time, a secret guard came in and handed Xiao Chengchang a letter.

Ye Zong looked up and saw that Xiao Chengchang's expression had eased a little after he finished reading the letter.

Xiao Chengchang put away the letter and asked in a cold voice,

"How's things going with Poison Monster?"

Ye Zong immediately lowered his head.

"Everything is going well, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chengchang nodded slightly, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"I heard that the Queen is currently looking for a Crown Princess for Xiao Chengnian, and Princess Minghua is among those considered. Please send a message to my mother and let her know."

"Yes." Ye Zong obeyed the order.

Suddenly he thought of something and spoke.

"Send someone to the military camp to investigate whether Xiao Heng was poisoned or not."

"Yes."

An Er bowed, and the two of them retreated together.

Xiao Chengchang walked into the inner room of the study, where a picture of a beauty was hanging on the wall.

The woman in the painting has flowing black hair and an ethereal demeanor. A cinnabar mark between her eyebrows makes her look even more radiant and beautiful, exactly like Su Yuejian.

Xiao Chengchang looked at the person in the painting, greed and obsession surging wildly in his eyes.

Su Yuejian, you can only be my Princess Gong!

……

As the Millennium Banquet was approaching, two major happy events took place in Kyoto.

The first thing is that the young marquis of Jingyang Mansion has recovered from his long-standing deafness!

The second thing was that the emperor issued an edict to betroth Prime Minister Shen Youfu's legitimate daughter Shen Wenshu to Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian as the Crown Princess.

For a moment, the people were talking about it and it was very lively.

Su Yuejian had just finished a medical consultation at Ji Medical Hall and was sitting in the carriage on the way back home when she heard two men discussing something outside.

"Have you heard? The young Marquis of Jingyang's mansion's stubborn illness was actually caused by poisoning. The person who did it was the Marquis of Jingyang's mother's cousin!"

"There's such a thing?! You can't be making it up!"

"Really? My sixth uncle's niece's youngest son works at the Marquis's mansion. Rumors have spread throughout the mansion that the Marquis of Jingyang's cousin has been in love with him for years. I heard it was because the Marquis's wife promised her to be a concubine because the eldest princess hadn't given birth to a legitimate son. But then the eldest princess gave birth to the young marquis, and that's when that woman started to have evil thoughts!"

"Oh, God have mercy on me! That young marquis was poisoned at such a young age! Fortunately, God protects us!"

"Yes, now that the young marquis has recovered, everyone in the Jingyang Marquis's mansion is overjoyed!"

"It's not just the Marquis of Jingyang's residence that's happy lately; the Prime Minister's residence is also bustling with activity!"

"Before Princess Minghua regained her appearance, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Shen's family was the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. She was both talented and beautiful, and was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was the universally recognized model of a noble lady in Kyoto!"

"Hey, you said that Princess Minghua's family background and talent are not inferior to Miss Shen at all, and she is also the most beautiful woman in Tianjin. Why didn't she choose her as the Crown Princess?"

Suddenly, an old man's voice interrupted them, "Hey, you two, this is a royal family affair, how can we ordinary people discuss it? Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue lashed out?"

After hearing what the old man said, the two men immediately laughed and changed the subject, discussing where to go for a drink tonight.

Listening to the words outside, Su Yuejian lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Yuzhu and Yinxin got on.

"My Lady, luckily I ran fast and I bought the last piece of rose cake."

Yuzhu happily held the warm oil-paper bag in her arms.

"As for you, I've never seen you run slowly when it comes to food."

Yinxin joked from the side.

"Hmph!" Yuzhu frowned and smiled at Yinxin, then handed Su Yuejian a piece of hibiscus cake.

Yin Xin said, "My Lady, when I came back just now, I saw that Su Ji's clothing store had been completed. It was so beautiful. Miss Wan is really amazing. In such a short time, she has made Su Ji's silk and satin the number one textile store in Kyoto."

Yuzhu stuffed a mouthful of lotus cake and nodded repeatedly.

"I've seen it too. The name is nice too. It's Ni Huayi."

Su Yuejian ate the cakes and said, "Then go back to the warehouse and find some good things. We are going to congratulate Sister Wan on the opening of her shop!"
