On the way back to the Taifu Mansion, Su Yuejian and Su Yanzhou rode in the same carriage and talked a lot about their recent situation.

The epidemic in Chen County has been lifted, thanks to the two disciples of the White Crane Divine Doctor, who brought the prescription for treating the plague that the doctor had prepared earlier, and the Ji Medical Hall also donated many high-quality medicines.

The epidemic was able to be treated quickly and in advance, and the emperor personally issued an edict to reward Jiyitang and Baihe Divine Doctor.

"Yue'er, do you really like the Regent?"

Su Yanzhou looked at her steadily, observing her expression carefully.

Su Yuejian smiled and nodded, "Yeah! A Che is very good, I like him."

Su Yanzhou's face darkened upon hearing this. "The Regent's talent, appearance, and abilities are beyond reproach, but his temperament..."

"He's just a madman who kills without blinking an eye."

Su Yuejian couldn't help but choke at this straightforward opinion.

"What's the big deal? Everyone in the world is crazy. Who isn't crazy? Those who aren't crazy are just pretending."

"Besides, I'm not a saint. It would be great to go crazy. I wish I could go crazy freely."

Su Yanzhou's face was full of doubts, and he raised his hand and touched her forehead.

I don’t have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about!

Su Yanzhou looked at her strangely, "It seems like you are going crazy with me now."

Su Yuejian pulled his hand down and said, "Hey, brother, don't be prejudiced against people."

Su Yanzhou looked at her with an even stranger look. After not seeing her for a few months, did Xiao Heng give her some kind of love potion?

Seeing that she was so persistent, he didn't say anything more.

When the carriage arrived at the Taifu Mansion, the two had just gotten off the carriage when Butler Xu came running over in a hurry.

"Princess, Master, someone is coming from the palace."

"See Prince Regent."

Butler Xu immediately knelt down and saluted.

Su Yuejian was just wondering when Xiao Heng walked up to her and naturally took her hand and led her into the mansion.

Su Yanzhou paused, looked at Butler Xu, and opened his lips slightly, "..."

No, this Xiao Heng looked so relaxed and familiar! How could he be like he was back at his own Regent's Palace?

Butler Xu looked at Su Yanzhou who was still standing there and took two steps forward to remind him.

"Master, please don't just stand there. The people from the palace are here for you."

Su Yanzhou frowned in confusion,???

In the front hall, Xiao Heng sat at the head of the table. Huang Zhongsheng looked at Su Yanzhou, smiling until his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Master Hanlin, His Majesty, in gratitude for your contributions in treating the epidemic, has granted you a special imperial decree."

Su Yanzhou frowned and knelt down to receive the order. Su Yue saw several others kneeling down as well.

Huang Zhongsheng opened the imperial edict and said loudly.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Imperial Academy member Su Yanzhou is of extraordinary character and appearance, a true talent for the nation. Princess Jing'an is gentle, dignified, intelligent, and talented, and is my beloved daughter.

I consider them a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, and I have appointed Su Yanzhou as my consort. I will choose an auspicious date for his marriage to Princess Jing'an."

Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows. The princess was really quick.

Su Lin was shocked. Princess Jing'an?

How could his son, such a dull and clueless young man, be favored by the eldest princess?

Su Yanzhou's expression was stern, while Huang Zhongsheng smiled flatteringly, "Congratulations, Su Hanlin! What a great joy!"

Seeing that Su Yanzhou was silent, Su Yuejian tugged at his sleeve.

Su Yanzhou took the imperial edict with a stern look on his face.

"I accept your order. Thank you for your grace."

Huang Zhongsheng looked at Xiao Heng and Su Yuejian with a smile.

"Your Highness seems to be much better now. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both worried about you, especially the Empress Dowager. When she heard that you were ill again, she became worried too."

Su Yuejian had been living in the Regent's Mansion these days, so Xiao Heng pretended to be sick.

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup calmly, skimmed off the foam, and took a sip of tea.

Huang Zhongsheng's smile froze and he turned to look at Su Yuejian.

"Princess Minghua, thank you for taking care of the prince."

Su Yuejian smiled and nodded.

"I was just about to go to the palace to see you after announcing the imperial decree. The Empress has ordered you to come to the palace for an audience in three days."

Su Lin was puzzled, "Excuse me, sir, what is this about?"

"Don't worry, Grand Tutor. At the beginning of next month, the three kingdoms will send envoys to pay their respects to the emperor for his birthday. The visiting princes and princesses have always been fond of Tianjin's poetry and culture, so the Empress has specially invited Princess Minghua to the palace to accompany them."

"I see. Thank you for telling me, eunuch."

Su Lin glanced at Butler Xu, who immediately stuffed a heavy purse into Huang Zhongsheng's hand.

Huang Zhongsheng glanced at Xiao Heng's gloomy face, and the smile on his face almost froze. He didn't dare to stay for a moment longer. After bowing and taking his leave, he left the Taifu Mansion with the palace servants.

As soon as the palace maids left the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Old Madam Su and Su Lin anxiously pulled Su Yuejian and looked left and right.

"Grandma, Daddy, I'm really fine."

Su Yue felt guilty when she saw them staring at her.

Madam Su's eyes turned red. "It's all because of my useless old bones that I almost hurt you."

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? Pah, pah, pah!"

Su Yuejian held her with his left hand and Su Lin with his right hand, "We are a family, why bother talking about harm? Besides, the prince has taken good care of me, and I am alive and well now."

Old Madam Su wiped her tears and held her hand tightly.

God knows how shocked and tormented she felt when she heard that Su Yuejian had bled to save her and almost lost his life.

Su Lin saw that she had lost a lot of weight and felt very distressed.

"Knowing you're back, I asked the kitchen to make your favorite sea bass soup. You're not allowed to go anywhere these days. Just stay in Wutongju and take care of yourself."

Su Yanzhou also nodded in agreement, and Old Madam Su rolled her eyes at Su Lin.

"You're stupid. Fish soup is a stimulant. You shouldn't eat it if you're injured. Yue'er went to her grandmother's place and she made you a sweet almond soup. It's the most nourishing."

Su Lin patted his head and said, "I'm so confused. I'll ask the kitchen to make it again. It's the Hundred Flavor Soup! Yue'er also likes the Hundred Flavor Soup. I'll have someone deliver it to her later."

Su Yuejian smiled brightly, "Yes, thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Grandma!"

Just as they were about to go have dinner together, an urgent summons came from the palace, and Xiao Heng, Su Lin, and Su Yanzhou entered the palace.

Old Madam Su took Su Yue to see Shou'an Hall. Seeing the wound on Su Yue's wrist and arm, she felt distressed again.

"It's really okay, grandma. If you cry again, your granddaughter will cry too."

Madam Su wiped her tears with trembling hands, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. Let's go and have dinner. Look, all the flesh on your little face is gone."

The two of them arrived at the dining table outside, and Su Yue's eyes lit up when she saw the dazzling array of food.

"so much?!"

Old Madam Su smiled and nodded, served her a bowl of love soup, and kept picking up dishes for her.

Su Yuejian looked at the two of them in the room and felt a little confused.

"Grandma, how can I let you serve the dishes yourself, Luyun and Qinglan?"

Su Yuejian looked at the only pair of bowls and chopsticks and was even more puzzled, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Grandma is not hungry yet, you should eat more." Old Madam Su smiled and gave her another piece of meat jerky.

Su Yuejian nodded slightly. She woke up late and didn't have breakfast, so she was a little hungry now.

Smelling the fragrant soup, my appetite was whetted. I picked up the bowl and started drinking.

As soon as Su Yuejian took a sip of the hot chicken soup, she realized something was wrong and immediately spat out the soup.

"what happened?"

Old Madam Su looked at her in confusion.
