"What?!" Xiao Chengchang was struck by lightning. His eyes suddenly widened and he stood there in shock.

How can it be? !

How could the emperor let Xiao Heng marry Su Yuejian!

There have always been rumors that Xiao Heng coveted the throne. How could the emperor hand over the Taifu Mansion and the Huguogong Mansion to him? Isn't the emperor afraid that Xiao Heng will seize the throne?

His face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with shock and confusion, which were burned out by the anger in his heart after a moment.

Cui Yingyu lowered her head, her heart filled with shock.

I didn't expect that Princess Minghua was so powerful that she could escape safely from the large number of assassins arranged by Xiao Chengchang.

When Cui Yingyu heard that Su Yuejian was being married to Xiao Heng, her mind went blank for a moment, and she sensed Xiao Chengchang's anger.

Cui Yingyu's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and tears of fear fell from her eyes.

Xiao Chengchang's eyes were almost spitting fire, he gritted his teeth, his face was distorted and rage was surging in his heart.

Xiao Heng! It's Xiao Heng again!

He no longer had time to care about the failure of luring Su Yuejian today. At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred and jealousy.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

And it’s not just Prince Gong’s Mansion that is sleepless.

Between Water and Clouds

“Ugh…Ugh…”

Gan He was half lying on the bed weakly, his face was blue and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had been vomiting since he woke up.

After checking his pulse, Li Jingzhu said, "Young Master, you've been poisoned. Fortunately, the poisoning isn't severe. I'll prescribe some antidote. You'll be cured in seven days."

"Seven days... Ugh..."

Li Jingzhu looked at him puzzledly.

Gan He hugged the porcelain bucket, buried his face in it, and couldn't even finish his words. "So... vomit... poisonous... vomit..."

Li Jingzhu looked at the blue butterfly fluttering in the glass bottle on the table and explained, "This is a blue morpho butterfly. The glitter on its wings is poisonous. Vomiting and diarrhea are normal reactions to poisoning. Take medicine on time and wait for the toxin to be excreted from the body.

Jingsha's mouth twitched.

I had vomiting and diarrhea for seven days. It turns out that beautiful things should not be underestimated.

Xie Jiusi frowned slightly, glanced at Jingsha, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you, Doctor Li. Here are two things I'd like you to take a look at."

Jingsha took out two other transparent glass bottles from his arms.

Li Jingzhu took a closer look at the contents of the bottle and became even more confused.

Where did the head of the Xie family get so many poisonous little things?

"These two things..." Jingsha looked at Li Jingzhu, paused, and asked, "Are they poisonous?"

Li Jingzhu nodded. "This wasp is called the Black Swan Yellow Velvet Wasp. It ranks third among the most venomous killer wasps. Although the sting from this wasp is not fatal, it will paralyze the five senses, cause numbness throughout the body, and cause unbearable pain all over the body."

He pointed to another bottle and said, "This white-spear ant has a violent nature. Its venom is more than twelve times that of a wasp. It is so poisonous that it can easily kill a cow."

Jingsha opened his lips and looked at Xie Jiusi beside him.

Li Jingzhu looked around curiously. "These poisonous creatures usually live in groups in dense forests. I wonder where Patriarch Xie got them?"

He had never recognized these little poisonous creatures before, but he had seen them in a book of poisonous creatures that Su Yuejian had given to Ji Ci when he borrowed it to relieve his boredom.

Xie Jiusi opened his lips slightly, "..."

At this time, Gan He's voice came weakly from the inner room, "Ugh... shock... ugh... toilet... ugh... help..."

Xie Jiusi glanced at Jingsha. Jingsha pursed his lips, walked to the inner room helplessly, picked up the person, turned around and walked out the door.

Hearing Gan He's miserable vomiting outside the door, Xie Jiusi's mouth twitched.

Fortunately, he didn't touch the butterfly, otherwise he would be the one suffering from vomiting and diarrhea.

Seeing that Xie Jiusi did not reply, Li Jingzhu did not ask any more questions. He left the prescription and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to bow and leave, Zhu Jian walked in and reported, "Master, the emperor just issued an edict granting the marriage between the Prince Regent and Princess Minghua."

Xie Jiusi looked stunned, his expression gradually stiffened, and he stood there in shock.

"What?!" Li Jingzhu was shocked and exclaimed.

Zhu Jian looked at Li Jingzhu in confusion.

"Ahem..." Li Jingzhu coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Princess Minghua is an honorary resident of Kyoto. I didn't expect that she would get engaged so suddenly. I was really shocked."

Li Jingzhu was extremely anxious and didn't care about Zhu Jian's strange look. He hurriedly saluted and left.

Zhu Jian was even more puzzled when he saw Li Jingzhu running so fast. He turned around to look at Xie Jiusi, who had a blank expression on his face and was standing still with his eyes lowered.

Xie Jiusi pinched his palms tightly, his heart sank to the bottom, and he forced a stiff smile.

"Homeowner?"

Zhu Jian asked in confusion, and Xie Jiusi came back to his senses and looked at him intently.

"Someone close to the old master sent a message asking you to return to your family home. It seems to be about the Third House and the Gu family."

Xie Jiusi remained silent, looking at the glass bottle on the table. After a while, he spoke, "Tell the third house to marry the daughter of the Gu family next month."

Zhu Jian's lips parted in surprise. "But the auspicious date chosen by the Third Master is at the end of the year, so the earliest would be three months from now..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and immediately lowered his head and replied obediently, "Yes."

When Gan He and Jingsha came back, Xie Jiusi was nowhere to be found.

The glass bottles on the table were also taken away.

Inside the waterside residence, the walls are covered with ink paintings and calligraphy, each of which is exquisitely crafted.

Xie Jiusi's eyes were deep and dark, like the long and endless night outside.

Ah Yue...

He murmured softly.

.......

Su Yuejian slept very well that night. Perhaps she was too tired from walking too much yesterday, so she didn't wake up until noon.

After Yuzhu and Yinxin gave her a simple wash and dress-up, they happily went to the kitchen to pick out some fat lambs to make snacks for Xiaobai.

Su Yuejian was relaxed and at ease in the Taifu Mansion, but the city of Kyoto was in an uproar.

The news that the eldest daughter of the Gu family and the third wife of the Xie family had secretly had sex before their marriage had just been reported, and before the people had time to eat the melon, another shocking news came.

The marriage of Princess Minghua to the Prince Regent caused a lot of discussion among the people.

"Princess Minghua is as beautiful as a fairy, and the Prince Regent is incredibly talented. They are truly a perfect match made in heaven!"

"Yeah, I never thought that the most handsome man in Tianjin and the most beautiful woman in Tianjin would become a perfect couple. Wow, how enviable!"

"Hey, but have you heard? Princess Minghua was originally supposed to be betrothed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that it was the Queen herself who arranged the marriage with General Lu!"

"There's such a thing?! But hasn't the Crown Prince already chosen Miss Shen from the Prime Minister's Mansion as the Crown Princess?"

"Oh, I heard that Princess Minghua didn't want to marry the Crown Prince, so she hooked up with the Regent! Miss Shen was just dragged in to replace her!"

"Is this true? His Royal Highness is a noble, gentle and virtuous man. Why would she give up her good job as the Crown Princess to seduce the Regent?"

"You're stupid! The Regent is a god of war, commanding a large army and possessing both military and civil skills. I heard the Regent has his eye on the one above... You never know what will happen in the future!"

"I can't believe it. Princess Minghua is usually so dignified, but she's so scheming and ambitious!"

For a while, rumors spread throughout Kyoto.
