Xiao Heng looked at her with his clear black eyes, his handsome and deep eyebrows were full of clearness and pride, and he did not answer for a long time.

Su Yuejian frowned a little, and her tone was a little doubtful.

"That shouldn't be the case. You and the Empress Dowager look very similar."

Xiao Heng chuckled and ruffled her soft black hair, "What are you thinking about in your little head?"

When Su Yue heard him say this, she realized that she was overthinking it and smiled apologetically.

"I'm not thinking anything, I'm just curious. Is Ah Che's reluctance to be close to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager due to the poison in his body?"

Xiao Heng did not refute her question.

Su Yuejian thought for a moment and then said, "Are you afraid of scaring them or hurting them?"

Xiao Heng remained silent, his dark eyes were like thick, insoluble ink, with unclear meanings surging in his eyes.

He curled his lips and asked, "What about you, are you afraid of me?"

Su Yuejian shook her head, but seemed afraid that he didn't believe her, so she said in a soft voice,

"Don't be afraid, Che is handsome, even when he's mad, he's still handsome, not scary at all."

Although he knew that her words might be a coaxing move, Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.

There was a fiery look in his dark eyes, and he chuckled softly.

"Have you eaten honey today? Why are you talking so sweetly?"

Before Su Yuejian could answer, the man's palm had already gently stroked the back of her head. His thin lips were slightly cool, and he leaned over and kissed her, an extremely long kiss.

After a long time, he finally let her go, his Adam's apple slid, he relaxed his mind, and pecked the corners of her lips a few times with an unsatisfied look.

His voice was low and hoarse, "So it's not honey, it's just that Zhao Zhao is just this sweet."

Su Yuejian's eyes and eyebrows were filled with the charm of being moved, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were lowered, and she was breathing lightly.

We've only met a few times, but how come this guy is becoming more and more skilled at kissing?

Looking at the girl nestled in his arms, Xiao Heng concealed the dark look in his eyes.

"what is that?"

Su Yuejian followed his gaze and looked at the letter from Li Jingzhu on the table.

"A letter from Ji Medical Hall. Today, Zhao Youyou, the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, went to Ji Medical Hall to ask for medicine. She wants Bihai Scrophulariaceae."

Su Yuejian asked doubtfully,

"She wants the Blue Sea Gentian because she wants to save someone very important to her. However, according to what Qingshan has learned, there's no news of anyone falling ill in the Dingyuan Marquis's residence..."

She frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Heng, "Who should she save then?"

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, "You care about her?"

Su Yuejian nodded, "Yes, the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan has not yet married. This time, Marquis Dingyuan came to the capital, in addition to celebrating her birthday, I am afraid he also wanted to find a husband for her. Marquis Dingyuan has a large army under his command, and I guess Xiao Chengchang will definitely not let this big fish go."

Xiao Heng remained silent, lowering his eyes as he played with her soft little hands.

Seeing that he had been silent, Su Yuejian asked anxiously and curiously, "A Che, do you know anything?"

Xiao Heng looked at her sparkling amber eyes, and curved his red lips.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chengchang is not worthy of marriage to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."

Looking at his dark and sparkling eyes, Su Yuejian tilted her head in confusion.

……

At this time, Xiao Chengchang saw Zhao Youyou's reaction and decided that she had a good impression of him, so he returned to Prince Gong's Mansion with full confidence.

The servants looked at Xiao Chengchang, who was in high spirits, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their fearful hearts.

Recently, nothing Xiao Chengchang wanted to do went smoothly. In addition, Xiao Chengchang fell ill for unknown reasons. The atmosphere in Prince Gong's Mansion was gloomy and depressing, and the bodies of two or three maids who were tortured to death were carried out every day.

Xiao Chengchang curled the corners of his lips, thinking of the appearance of Zhao Youyou he saw today. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was very charming. In addition, with the military power of Marquis Dingyuan, her family background and appearance, she could barely be considered worthy of the status of Princess Gong.

Xiao Chengchang grinned and laughed out loud.

The voice was raised a few degrees, "Someone come here."

Ye Zong followed the order and came in. Xiao Chengchang said with a wicked smile, "The king is in a good mood, so I'll pick a few obedient ones today."

Ye Zong raised his head and wanted to give some advice, but when he saw the evil light in Xiao Chengchang's eyes, he suppressed it.

"Yes." Ye Zong lowered his head to accept the order and turned to go out. Xiao Chengchang's voice came from behind him again, "Tell Du Laoguai that the health-promoting pills are very good. Can you make more?"

Xiao Chengchang held the porcelain bottle in his hand, tilted his head back and swallowed a pill.

Ye Zong pursed his lips, but remained silent. He lowered his head, accepted the order, and left.

Recently, Xiao Chengchang has been taking a kind of pill made by Du Laoguai, which is said to have the effect of nourishing the body and boosting energy. In addition, he has been feeling unwell recently, so he has become even more obsessed with these health-care pills.

The painful moans of the women in the house kept reaching his ears, and Ye Zong frowned.

It is not known whether this health-preserving pill has any tonic effect, but Ye Zong feels that Xiao Chengchang's temperament is more violent than before.

Looking at the woman in blue walking towards him from a distance, Ye Zong glanced at the room behind him, lowered his head and walked forward.

"My Lady Concubine."

Cui Yingyu's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard and pale. "Is the prince in there?"

Lu Zhan has traced the private casting of weapons to the Cui family's branch. Although Cui Quanji has cruelly abandoned the branch, Prince Gong has always been ruthless. In order to ensure that this matter does not involve himself, he is ready to protect himself by killing his own relatives.

In the past few days, she came to Xiao Chengchang every day to plead for mercy, hoping that he would let the Cui family go.

But every time they met, either they couldn't meet, or when they did, he would beat her up to vent his anger and send her back to the yard before she could even open her mouth.

Ye Zong lowered his head and did not answer. Listening to the lewd sounds of pleasure in the side room, Cui Yingyu endured the pain and was about to kneel down again.

Seeing her actions, Ye Zong tried to persuade her, "My Lady, the matter has been decided. If you kneel here, you will only hurt yourself. Why bother?"

"Besides, the Cui family's affairs have nothing to do with Your Majesty. You are still the prince's concubine. It's late at night, Your Majesty should go back."

Cui Yingyu's tears fell silently.

Of course Xiao Chengchang would not divorce her. He wanted to protect himself and also wanted to be known as a kind person. Exposing the Cui family was a righteous act, while keeping her would help him to achieve his kind character.

Cui Yingyu clenched the hem of her skirt in her hands, lowered her head and knelt for a long time, unable to get up.

She knew that Xiao Chengchang was such a selfish and heartless person, but she had no choice. She couldn't watch the Cui family perish.

The sounds of pain and joy from the woman in the room continued to be heard, and memories of the pain and abuse she had suffered over the years kept emerging in her mind.

My hands were shaking unconsciously, my brain was buzzing, and my vision was gradually becoming blurred.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

When the maid's frightened voice came, Cui Yingyu felt her whole body go cold. She could no longer hold on and closed her eyes tiredly.

Ye Zong immediately called the servant to carry Cui Yingyu back to the backyard.

The maid begged him, "Master Ye Zong, please be kind and get a doctor to see the queen. If she continues like this, she will really die..."

Ye Zong hesitated for a moment.

If the news of Cui Yingyu's cruelty were to get out, Xiao Chengchang's reputation would be completely ruined.

So every time Xiao Chengchang just asked someone to give her some simple medicine and did not allow doctors to enter the backyard for treatment. Looking at the dying Cui Yingyu, Ye Zong finally did not dare to disobey Xiao Chengchang's orders.

"Go down and ask the pharmacy to send some medicine over." Ye Zong said in a deep voice.

The maidservant was choking with tears and could only retreat.

In the side room, Xiao Chengchang didn't care about what was happening outside. He looked at the red mole between the eyebrows of the woman in front of him, with a strange and evil light flashing in his eyes, and his hands moved more fiercely.

Su Yuejian!

One day, I will make you kneel at my feet!
