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

Hearing Xiao Chengchang's words, many ladies in the hall became interested, especially Meng Ange, who looked at Xiao Chengchang with shy and timid eyes, full of affection.

The emperor laughed heartily and said, "In that case, let your mother take good care of you."

Concubine Ru smiled and nodded in agreement. Su Yuejian looked at Concubine Ru's beautiful and charming smiling face, and her brows frowned slightly.

Then Princess Yongqing and the remaining princes presented their gifts respectively, but Xiao Heng was the only one who remained sitting quietly.

No one dared to speak. After all, the two had just had an argument over the arranged marriage. Xiao Heng's personality was unpredictable, and it was rare for him to attend the palace banquet. No one dared to ask about the gift at this time.

Xiao Chengchang was a fool who didn't know how to die. Seeing that the emperor's face had turned ashen due to Xiao Heng's anger, he wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"My uncle rarely attends palace banquets. I wonder what gift he prepared for my grandmother this year?"

No one expected that there would actually be someone who would dare to bring such bad luck upon themselves. Although Xiao Heng's expression was still as distant and indifferent as ever, everyone felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

Xiao Heng raised his eyes slightly, and Xiao Chengchang felt a chill on his neck, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze a little.

He glanced at Xiao Chengchang lightly, then lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Xuan Yu."

The people in the hall leaned out their heads and stared at the carved wooden box in Xuan Yu's hand with curiosity.

The emperor smiled and said, "Open it quickly, I want to see what good things you have prepared!"

Xuan Yu opened the box as ordered, and inside lay an exquisite Buddha's hand carving.

The color is as white as snow, like a white lotus that has just bloomed. Each finger is carved with exquisite details, and the curvature is just right, as if it can tremble slightly at any time.

The emperor nodded in admiration, "This Buddha's hand is so exquisitely carved."

The Queen Mother also smiled, picked up the Buddha's hand carving, and took a closer look. She found that the white texture had an indescribable specialness.

It does not have a texture as soft and smooth as jade, but rather as cold and hard as bone.

The Queen Mother frowned in confusion, "This Buddha's hand carving has a cool texture, unlike Chang Yu."

After saying that, he looked up at Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng's voice was not as cold as before, but the words he said made everyone in the audience feel a chill down their spines.

"Mother, this is a bone sculpture."

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp, as if struck by lightning, and stood stunned on the spot.

Bone carving???

What means?

Xiao Heng's reputation for bloodthirstiness and brutality has long been known. This bone sculpture of his...could it be human bones...?

The queen was stunned, and Concubine Ru beside her was also shocked, and then a barely perceptible smile flashed across her lips.

Xiao Heng is really bold, giving out such a bloody thing regardless of the occasion.

This is the Empress Dowager of the time, his biological mother, how could she behave so horribly!

It seems that after today, even without her and Xiao Chengchang taking action, Xiao Heng's reputation will not be much better!

At this time, Xiao Chengchang's heart was also full of gloating. Seeing Xiao Heng still sitting there without changing his expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic.

He dares to be so bold and presumptuous even without the military power. Let's see how long he can be so arrogant!

What kind of family affection is there in the royal family? Does he really think that the emperor can always tolerate him?

Everyone below lowered their heads. Several officials wanted to ask questions, but when they saw Xiao Heng's cold eyes, they shut their mouths.

Su Yuejian was shocked for a moment, then raised her eyes and stared at the white Buddha's hand.

Xie Jiusi glanced at the people in the upper positions, and his gaze stopped on Su Yuejian who had her head lowered.

Seeing Su Yuejian keeping her head down, he clenched his fists, his heart surging.

How could such a cruel and cold-blooded person be worthy of her...

Seeing the faint smile on Xiao Heng's lips, the Queen Mother's smile froze, and her voice trembled unconsciously, "What...what?"

Bone carving??!!

Whose bone was this carved from???

It can't be Wei Yi...

Thinking of this, her pupils suddenly shrank and she was surrounded by an ominous premonition.

The emperor was stunned for a few seconds, then frowned, his face was about to turn cold, when he heard Xuan Yu say,

"Your Majesty, this is a carved Buddha's hand, crafted from precious ivory. Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty is a Buddhist. Elephants are a symbol of good fortune in Buddhism and can ward off evil and disaster. Your Majesty presents this to Your Majesty, wishing you good fortune and happiness."

The emperor smiled and said, "Hahaha... Great, it turns out to be ivory. You really gave me a fright."

Xiao Heng raised an eyebrow, looking at the Queen Mother's still somewhat stiff expression, and curled his lips, "What do my brother and mother think?"

The emperor smiled awkwardly. "Nothing. Ivory is good. It's milky white in color and has a fine texture. It must have taken you a lot of effort to find such a large piece of ivory."

Xiao Heng remained silent.

The Queen Mother had recovered by now, but her palms were covered in sweat. The ivory and bone carving was obviously cold to the touch, but she felt it was like a hot potato, burning into her heart. She hid her disgust and said, "Heng'er put a lot of effort into it. I like it."

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Su Lin, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. When he thought that the bone sculpture was human bones, he almost felt like the sky was falling.

Now that he heard it was ivory, although he felt a little relieved, he was still afraid in his heart. After all, he absolutely believed that the Regent was a dangerous person who could really carve human bones.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about his daughter. He turned around and saw that his daughter was happily eating cakes.

His heart sank even more. His Xiaoyue was so naive. How would he live after entering the Regent's Palace?

Su Yuejian was completely unaware of Su Lin's mental activities. She just saw Su Lin staring at her. After a few seconds of silence, he picked up some of the cakes that Xiao Heng had brought from the table and put them on the plate.

Passed it to Su Lin, "Dad, is the food from the palace banquet not to your liking? Try these, they are delicious."

Su Lin looked at her daughter's innocent smile, concealed the sadness in her heart, and forced a smile.

"Dad doesn't want to eat it. If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to teach you how to make it for you every day when we get back."

Looking at Su Lin's red eyes, Su Yuejian was a little confused and nodded doubtfully, "Okay."

He wondered in his heart, could it be that the bone sculpture just now scared him?

It's just a piece of bone, but it scared me.

I couldn't help but sigh, Daddy's ability to withstand attacks is a bit weak. If her poison skills are exposed in the future, with her usual poison skills...

Su Yuejian pursed her lips. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to give them a shot of prevention.

Not everyone is as calm as Lu Zhan.

But she didn't know that even Lu Zhan, who was used to seeing torture in the Ministry of Justice, felt his hair stand on end when he saw her poison technique...

At this time, Lu Zhan glanced at Xiao Heng's bone sculpture, and then looked at Su Yuejian who was eating happily opposite him.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw on Cuishan Mountain that day when the Rakshasa ghost-faced man, whose bones and blood melted and blood bubbles gurgled out of his body...

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. It seemed that Yue'er and Xiao Heng were really...

Very good match...

After the princes and princesses presented their gifts, the emperor and everyone continued to drink and chat.

One after another, daughters from official families came on stage to perform and celebrate the birthday. In addition, the emperor mentioned Xiao Chengchang's marriage tonight, and many daughters wanted to perform at the palace banquet and win Xiao Chengchang's favor.

After Meng Ange finished playing a melodious and cheerful pipa piece, the Queen Mother praised him and said with a smile, "Yilun has made considerable progress recently."

Meng Ange stepped forward and bowed to express her gratitude. She glanced at Xiao Chengchang shyly, then glared at Su Yuejian and returned to her seat with her chin held high.

Su Yuejian ignored it. She was indeed a little drunk at the moment and was concentrating on drinking the hangover tea when she suddenly noticed a hostile gaze staring at her from the opposite side.

She looked up and saw that unexpected face. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly.
