Su Yue's expression suddenly turned cold as she looked at the soup in front of her.

"This soup is poisonous."

Old Madam Su paused.

Su Yuejian glanced at the dishes on the table, took out the hairpins on her head, and tried them one by one. Looking at the silver hairpins that were almost black and purple, her face became even colder.

After trying the last dish, Su Yue felt angry.

"Grandma, these dishes have all been poisoned with deadly arsenic. It's truly wicked!"

Madam Su's body stiffened, and Su Yuejian slammed the table, his brows full of anger.

“No..these…”

Old Madam Su didn't expect that Su Yuejian would tell something was wrong just by tasting it.

"Grandmother, don't be afraid. I'll have someone check right away to find out who prepared all this food! I never thought there would be someone with such ulterior motives in the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"

Old Madam Su looked at the angry Su Yuejian and quickly held her back, choking for a moment.

“No, I did all this…”

Su Yuejian froze in place,???

Madam Su pulled her to sit down, "Your master said that you need to recover..."

As he said this, he glanced at the food on the table with a guilty conscience, and he really couldn't bring himself to say that he had poisoned her.

"Grandma went out of her way to find some. Don't worry, these are the strongest, as poisonous as arsenic, and will kill you instantly!"

Su Yuejian, (?. ?)

Although it's well-intentioned....but this sounds...too weird...

"What's wrong? Does it smell weird?"

She also thought about giving her a bowl of poisonous medicine directly, but she was afraid that giving her the medicine would attract attention. In addition, every time she drank the medicine, her face turned blue because of the bitterness.

Old Madam Su saw her staring at the food with a complicated expression and not moving for a long time.

"If it doesn't taste good, don't use it. Grandma will make some later..."

"No, no, no thanks, Grandma."

Su Yuejian quickly picked up the bowl, drank the poisonous chicken soup in a few mouthfuls, and smiled.

"It's delicious! It tastes so delicious!"

Old Madam Su's brows relaxed, and she smiled, then served her another bowl of chicken.

"I'm glad you like it. Eat more. Look at your face, it's not even a bit red."

Su Yuejian smiled dryly, looked at the table full of arsenic-containing vegetables, and swallowed.

It must be said that Madam Su’s cooking skills were quite good. Although Su Yuejian was naturally sensitive to the smell of poison, she still used up most of the food on the table.

It was not until she repeatedly stated that she really could not eat anymore that Mrs. Su let her go.

After returning to Wutongju, Su Yuejian hurriedly asked Yuzhu to get some digestive pills.

Now she only felt that every time she burped, it smelled like arsenic.

Just after taking the digestion pill, Qingshan appeared.

"Princess, I've checked it out."

"Among the envoys from the three kingdoms who came to the capital this time, apart from Nanwan, Beiyi and Xihe each sent their own princes and princesses to offer congratulations. Beiyi's Prince Huyan Zhuo and Princess Huyan Ying came with him, while Xihe only sent Princess Cailuan."

Su Yuejian nodded slightly, "How much do you know about the Beiyi royal family?"

Qingshan had fought on the battlefield with the Lu family army before, and after thinking for a while, he said,

"The current Khan of Beiyi is Hu Yanqing. He has a son and a daughter, the second prince Hu Yanzan and the princess Hu Yanying."

"But the one coming to the capital this time is the eldest prince, Hu Yanzhuo. He is the son of a concubine, and his mother was born a lowly slave. Both of them are not favored."

Su Yuejian lowered her eyes and tapped the table lightly with her fingertips.

"When General Lu was here, Beiyi and Tianjin signed a ten-year peace treaty. However, the Beiyi people were belligerent and frequently provoked Tianjin. It was only after the Regent led his troops into battle that the border was stabilized again."

Su Yuejian naturally understood the meaning of his words.

The news that Xiao Heng was poisoned had already spread throughout the four countries. I am afraid that Bei Yi’s visit to Beijing this time is not just a simple congratulation.

He wanted to find out more about whether Xiao Heng was really dying or if he intended to start a war again.

Qingshan looked at Su Yuejian, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Su Yuejian looked at him, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Qingshan pursed his lips and said, "Rumor has it that the princesses of the two countries came to Beijing this time with the intention of forming a marriage alliance with Tianjin."

Su Yuejian raised an eyebrow, then chuckled.

Qingshan became even more anxious when he saw that she could still smile.

"My Lady, I don't know how Princess Cailuan of Xihe is doing, but Princess Huyanying of Beiyi is particularly attracted to men. She once met the Prince Regent on the battlefield and threatened to abduct the Prince and bring him back to Beiyi as a concubine!"

Su Yuejian became even more curious after hearing this.

"Really?! Your Highness, weren't you angry when you heard this?"

Qingshan paused, "This... Later I heard that during the night raid on Beiyi, all of Hu Yanying's male favorites were disfigured, and..."

Su Yuejian blinked, "What else?"

Qingshan was a little embarrassed for once, "I still don't have any offspring..."

Hu Yanying not only likes those who are good-looking, but also those who are big and good at sex. It is said that the ones who are most favored are all the best in sex.

Su Yuejian choked, this... was unexpected.

Tsk tsk, Ah Che is really, why are you so anxious to fight with me...

"Speaking of male favorites," Qingshan said with a complicated expression, "The secret guards monitoring Prince Gong's residence have reported that quite a few young prostitutes have been sent there recently..."

Su Yuejian frowned in confusion, "What???"

Qingshan also found it hard to believe. "You heard right, it was indeed a young prostitute. I don't know what happened to Prince Gong. He suddenly became interested in men. What's even stranger is that His Royal Highness Prince Gong can stand up."

Su Yuejian's eyes widened.

"Stand up? Stand up with what?"

"My Lady, as you said, of course you should use your legs."

Qingshan was puzzled, "I don't know what Ji Ci did to him."

"Understood, you go down."

"Yes!"

Su Yuejian's eyebrows moved slightly, and she walked to the desk outside.

When Yuzhu came in, she saw her concentrating on reading a medical book, with a cold look on her face. She paused and walked forward.

"Princess, a letter from Doctor Li."

After reading the letter, Su Yuejian's eyes flashed with surprise and her eyebrows raised slightly.

Yuzhu looked at the joy in her eyes and smiled.

"The princess has been away from home these past few days, but I haven't heard yet that the emperor personally issued an edict to reward Jiyitang and the White Crane Divine Doctor. Now everyone in Kyoto knows that the White Crane Divine Doctor is not only a miraculous doctor who can bring people back to health, but also a kind and benevolent doctor. Everyone in the streets is praising you!"

"Such a sweet little mouth!" Su Yuejian pinched her chubby smiling face, "Okay, go to the warehouse to get two boxes of gold, and have the secret guards send them to Jiyitang."

Yuzhu was puzzled, "Is Jiyitang short of money again?"

Su Yuejian handed the letter in his hand to her, and the joy in Yuzhu's eyes became even greater.

"It's the house that the princess has her eyes on. I didn't expect the owner of Wanbao Pavilion to actually agree to it!"

Su Yuejian smiled and nodded.

"Today is really a day of good things."

Yin Xin walked in and saw Yu Zhu's smile almost reaching her ears, and joked,

"Yes, Sangzhi is back. Doctor Li and Miss Sangliu are getting married soon, and our little Yuzhu's wedding is not far away either!"

Hearing this, Yuzhu blushed, "Yinxin! What nonsense are you talking about! What good news? It's nothing!"

Su Yuejian raised an eyebrow.

"No?" Yinxin took the letter from Yuzhu's hand and smiled cunningly.

"Dushan jade is unique to Yuzhou. Such white, smooth and delicate precious material is rare. Sangzhi has quite a good eye."

Su Yuejian followed Yinxin's gaze and looked at the jade bracelet on Yuzhu's wrist, her eyebrows curved.

"He really has good vision."

"A treasure like my Yuzhu is rare."

Listening to the two people's jokes, Yuzhu's face turned completely red. She glared at them and turned around and ran out.

Su Yuejian and Yinxin smiled at each other.

"Go to the storehouse and pick out some fine items. Doctor Li needs a generous gift for his wedding."

"Yes." Yinxin went out with a smile.
