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

Several people were still worried about Su Yuejian going to the palace to see the Queen Mother because of rumors.

How come you've already proposed after just a few hours of not seeing each other?

Old Madam Su listened to Butler Xu's story about what happened in the palace today, and heard that the Regent personally sent Su Yuejian back home and gave Su Lin the betrothal gift list at the door of the mansion.

After hearing the number of cars for the betrothal gift, Mrs. Su's head was buzzing and she almost fainted. She asked in disbelief,

"How many?! How many cars did you say?!"

Steward Xu lowered his head, his hands trembling uncontrollably in his sleeves. He couldn't believe it and said, "Six...six hundred and ninety-nine cars. The guards around the Regent said so themselves."

That gift list is as thick as a brick, 699 cars...

This is really unheard of!

Yan Xu and the other two didn't care how much betrothal gifts were sent. All their attention was on what Butler Xu had just said, that Xiao Heng had been poisoned and would not live long!

He was originally very happy to hear this, but who knew that the only way to break the impasse was to let Su Yuejian marry him to bring good luck! !

Yan Xu and the others' faces were gloomy. This was simply kidnapping! !

Naked kidnapping!!!

The front hall and the yard were filled with rare treasures that sparkled in the sunlight, making people dizzy.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of half-human-high jade carvings in front of the courtyard. They are snow-white, pure and transparent, without a trace of impurities, and have a faint white halo in the sunlight.

After a few people walked closer and took a closer look at the pair of jade carvings, Mrs. Su's pupils trembled. This is... a white swan!

She must have seen it wrong. Old Madam Su rubbed her eyes and opened her lips in surprise.

They really are a pair of white swans...

The white swan is a loyal bird and only has one partner in its lifetime.

Not to mention the royal family, even officials and prominent families rarely sent a white swan as a betrothal gift. After all, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and sending a white swan as a betrothal gift was redundant or even a burden.

Yan Xu and the others stared at the pair of snow-white birds flying together, their eyes gradually becoming solemn.

The group entered the main hall, bowed and sat down. Madam Su and Su Lin looked at Xiao Heng, who was sitting calmly in the upper seat, and said many words in a tactful way.

The implicit meaning of the words is that the standard of the betrothal gift is too high...

Especially the pair of white swans, it's a bit unreasonable...

"I'll betroth you to me as a white swan, for my whole life, until death." Xiao Heng's tone was cold and pleasant, his dark eyes full of determination.

Before the crowd could react to the meaning of his words, they heard him chuckle and say, "Everything I own belongs to Zhao Zhao."

Su Lin and the others were stunned again. When did the Regent know Su Yuejian's nickname?

Seeing him calling so intimately, several people looked at Su Yuejian, only to see her sitting quietly and well-behaved beside them, with no apparent emotion.

But the quieter she was, the more inexplicably uneasy Yan Xu and the others felt.

They really couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking.

Su Yuejian didn't say a word until Xiao Heng left.

When Old Madam Su heard that Su Yuejian had been wronged in the palace, suffered from heatstroke and fainted, she felt extremely distressed. After sending Xiao Heng away, she let her go back to the yard to have a good rest.

Su Lin was left staring blankly at the gift boxes lined up for several streets and being sent into the mansion continuously.

The news that the Regent had proposed marriage had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. When the people saw the grand and expensive long dragon-like ceremonial carriage, they were all amazed and shocked.

Naturally, this also includes people in the palace.

When the emperor and the empress dowager heard this, they were shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

Especially when I heard that the first gift on the gift list was actually a pair of white swans!

And Xiao Heng's promise, "I'll be your betrothal gift to you, for a lifetime, until death."

The two were stunned and speechless.

After a long while, the Queen Mother finally spoke, "Heng'er...really likes Princess Minghua."

The emperor frowned and nodded slightly.

It's more than just love. When he looks at Xiao Heng, he wants to give his life to her!

In order to prevent Su Yuejian from being involved in rumors of treason, he gave up the military power!

Six hundred and ninety-nine carts of betrothal gifts, it would take at least a year or two to prepare so much.

But Xiao Heng only returned to Beijing a few months ago. Before that, Princess Minghua was just a blind adopted daughter who had never even left the house.

When did he start to care about Su Yuejian?

The emperor's eyes darkened, his face solemn, and he looked at his highness, "What do you think of Master Kong Hui's words?"

Zhang Su, the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have compared Princess Minghua's horoscope and found that she is indeed the Red Phoenix Star, a star that appears only once every century. It is a perfect match for the Regent's destiny."

"The combination of the two does indeed bring about auspiciousness for the Regent."

The Queen Mother frowned, "What do you mean by that? Why is it a definite sign of good fortune?"

"This..." Zhang Su paused, not daring to hide anything. "The celestial phenomena are complex and unpredictable, and the Red Phoenix Star has not yet fully returned to its original position. I cannot be completely certain of what will happen in the future."

Hearing this, the two people in the upper position darkened their expressions, and the emperor said in a deep voice, "Step down."

After Zhang Su bowed and left, the Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, her eyes trembling slightly, "Heng'er..."

The emperor's expression was unclear. "Don't worry, mother. I know what to do with Brother Heng."

After saying this, he stood up and returned to the Qinzheng Palace.

The empress dowager's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at the emperor's receding figure and slowly lowered her eyes.

The nanny beside her immediately came forward to help her lie down on her side, then turned around and brought her tea.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, raised her hand to her forehead, and looked lonely.

"Zhu Qiu, it's all my fault. I haven't taken good care of him in all these years..."

She closed her eyes tiredly and shed bitter tears.

Zhu Qiu handed over the handkerchief, lowered his brows and bowed his head, and said in a gentle and soothing voice, "Everything your majesty did was for Tianjin. How can it be said to be a fault?"

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and asked, "Did you see the child today?"

Zhu Qiu nodded. "He really looks like General Lu, but his personality is quite different."

"Yes, she is an eye-catching little girl."

The Queen Mother's eyes were deep. "But it's better that she has a different personality. She shouldn't be like her mother..."

Then he sighed deeply, "I hope she can really save my Heng'er."

Zhu Qiu gently waved a silk fan at the side, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the prince is a man of great fortune, and he will definitely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune."

"Hmm..." The Queen Mother responded softly and closed her eyes again.

Nagahiden

When Liang Xinrou heard that Xiao Heng had proposed marriage, she was so angry that her eyes were wide open. She could no longer hide her jealousy and threw everything around her to pieces.

Even though Xiao Heng's life was coming to an end, the position of Regent Princess, the six hundred and ninety-nine carts of betrothal gifts, and the fact that a man as aloof as Xiao Heng could still treat her with such infatuation made her envious!

Liang Xinrou gritted her teeth, her face became ferocious, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes.

Su Yuejian!!

What Red Phoenix Star! What auspicious sign of destiny! It's pure nonsense!

She won't believe it!!!

It took her a long time to regain her composure and calm herself down.

She was not afraid. As long as the Queen Mother was there, she still had hope.

Today, the Queen Mother stood on her side, so Su Yuejian couldn't do anything about her fainting.

A hint of a smile appeared on her ferocious face, and she said to the maid beside her, "Danrui, where is Danmei?"
