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

As soon as he left the Queen's Palace, he met Xiao Ningyao who came in a hurry.

He Lan saw Xiao Ningyao running and sweating profusely, and reminded her, "Your Highness, please pay attention to your manners."

Xiao Ningyao slowed down, stood still and said, "Aunt is right, Jing'an will remember it."

"I will escort Princess Minghua out of the palace. It's not good to leave the Queen Mother alone. Aunt, please go back quickly."

After saying that, he took Su Yuejian and left. After turning the corner of the palace road and no longer seeing He Lan, Xiao Ningyao relaxed.

"Yue'er, how is Brother Yanzhou? I can't leave the palace. He was seriously injured that day. I..."

"Princess, don't worry. With Dean Wen here, my brother is already recovering."

Xiao Ningyao breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I made some nourishing food and some medicine for injuries. I'd like you to pass it on to me."

Su Yuejian glanced at the food box in Yaocai's hand, met Xiao Ningyao's worried eyes, and nodded hesitantly.

"That's great! Thank you Yue'er!" Xiao Ningyao affectionately took her arm and walked together.

"You didn't bring your maid into the palace today, so let Yaocai accompany you back to the Taifu Mansion later."

Su Yue was about to refuse, but Xiao Ningyao smiled and said, "Don't be polite with me. We are friends. Besides, you are my sister now, so it's my duty to take care of you."

The person next to her didn't say anything. Xiao Ningyao tilted her head and looked at her curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Yuejian didn't dare to look into her eyes again. After a long silence, he asked, "Princess, if..."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Before Su Yuejian could speak, Xiao Ningyao's attention was attracted by the crowd of guards.

The leading guard stepped forward and replied, "Princess, I am here under the orders of the Empress to fill in the Jade Lake in the east corner of the Imperial Garden."

Su Yuejian frowned. The eastern corner of the Imperial Garden, Yucui Lake? Was that the lake where Zhou Wangzhi fell into the water?

Just now I felt that something was wrong with the Queen by the lake. It seemed as if she was particularly concerned about the lake.

"That lake was originally a forbidden area." Xiao Ningyao asked, "Why is it being filled up?"

"Princess, it seems the young Marquis of Jingyang fell into the water. The Empress said the lake was unlucky and filled it in to prevent further trouble in the future."

Xiao Ningyao nodded and waved her hand to let them go.

“Why is that lake closed?”

Xiao Ningyao looked around and whispered, "I heard that my eldest brother almost drowned in that lake when he was alive, but was later rescued by palace servants."

"However, my eldest brother was born weak. He soaked in the lake for too long, and it was winter, so he contracted a serious illness and died. Because of this, my father ordered the lake to be closed."

Su Yuejian pursed her lips.

"It's fine if you know this yourself, but please don't mention it in front of Father and Mother, especially Mother. My eldest brother is her dearest child, even the Crown Prince can't compare to him."

Su Yuejian nodded, and Xiao Ningyao sighed, "Although the Queen Mother is usually easy to talk to, she becomes a different person when she mentions the eldest brother. She is very serious. When I saw the Queen Mother disciplining the Crown Prince before, she always compared the eldest brother to him, saying that the eldest brother is very talented and intelligent, and no one can compare to him."

"I've never seen how smart my eldest brother is. I only know that my crown prince works very hard. He gets up before dawn and doesn't return until after midnight. Even hailstorms can't stop him."

The two walked slowly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is diligent and is a blessing to all the people."

"Really? I just feel tired. Even so, I see that Father and Mother are not very satisfied. I just hate that Crown Prince is not a girl. If he were a princess like me, Father would not be willing to tire him out."

"The Emperor and the Empress treat you very well." Although the voice was calm, Su Yuejian's heart was not at peace.

"Yes! Father and Mother are the best people in the world to me." Xiao Ningyao smiled carefreely, and suddenly said, "No! There is also Brother Yanzhou! And you, Yue'er."

Su Yuejian did not respond and was extremely silent along the way.

But recently, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated the wedding date for her and Su Yanzhou, which happened to be the same day as Su Yuejian's wedding. Originally, the emperor and empress did not agree to the nearby date, but they could not bear her repeated requests and finally agreed.

Xiao Ningyao was happily telling her about the various wedding preparations she had made. Her words were full of sweetness, and she didn't notice anything unusual about her.

In the carriage, Su Yuejian looked at the food box next to Yaocai, and always felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

After getting off the carriage, Su Yuejian was about to take the food box. Yao Cai smiled and said, "Princess, I am here now. I must take a look for the princess before I can go back and give her a reply."

Butler Xu walked forward, Yao Cai explained her purpose, and followed Butler Xu into the mansion.

The inner courtyard of Wutongju was empty and quiet. Yuzhu and Yinxin were arranged by Su Yuejian to help Li Jingzhu deal with the affairs of the medical clinic.

As Su Yuejian entered the courtyard, she looked at the empty yard and felt a little puzzled.

In the past, even if there was nothing wrong, Yan Xu and the others would stay in her yard, but why are they not here today?

She went back into the house and called Qingshan.

"How's Xuanshuang doing?"

"No news yet, but Master Bai Yi said that with Xiaobai here, even an ant can be found."

Su Yuejian laughed. She had forgotten that her master was also good at bragging.

Wuji was chasing after the old monster Du who had escaped from Prince Gong's Mansion. He was led by him to a ruined temple in the suburbs where he was ambushed. All the people who attacked him were immortal like Yezong.

Later, Xiao Heng sent people to find the dilapidated temple, but they could not find any trace of it anywhere.

It was Xuanshuang who mentioned that wolves have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and can be used to track tracks, so she took Xiaobai to track them.

Either Xuanshuang is the king of beasts, or Xiaobai is only well-behaved and obedient in front of her, except for Su Yuejian and Bai Yi. Even Su Yuejian is surprised.

Qingshan said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conducted a thorough investigation of Prince Gong's Mansion today."

Su Yuejian nodded, "Just consider it as sending him off for the last time. How can I not expose my ambitions that I have been planning for so many years to the world?"

In the past two days, the discussion in Kyoto was heated due to the old monster Du's attempt to murder Prince Gong. Just a few days later, even more shocking news was heard.

Prince Gong Xiao Chengchang and Du Laoguai were actually in cahoots with each other and had a long-standing private relationship. When the Crown Prince and the Ministry of Justice were investigating the case, they found a large amount of evidence of his forming a clique for personal gain from Prince Gong's mansion, even including the fact that the Cui family had previously cast weapons and stationed troops under the orders of Prince Gong.

The people outside the palace were talking about it, and Concubine Ru inside the palace also went crazy.

"Your Majesty, the one in Fuyang Palace is making trouble again."

The queen took the tea brought by the palace maid, lightly touched the cup, and didn't pay much attention.

"So what if she makes a fuss? She's been so popular these past few years. Any more noise she makes now will just be a passing breeze."

He Lan looked up hesitantly. The queen waved her hand and dismissed all the palace servants. He Lan stepped forward and whispered to her.

"The palace guards reported that she has been acting very crazy these past two days, and what she's been muttering seems to be related to the eldest prince's death..."

The queen paused with her hand holding the tea, her brows furrowed.

The eldest prince, Xiao Chengji, was the emperor's eldest son. He was intelligent and gifted since childhood. The emperor had high hopes for him after he ascended the throne. Unfortunately, he died in the winter of the second year after the emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight.

The emperor and empress were heartbroken, especially the queen. Xiao Chengji's death was the deepest pain in her heart.

Now, hearing Concubine Ru mention this matter, the resentment and dissatisfaction that had been pent up for so many years seemed to have opened a mouth, becoming more and more uncontrollable. He put down the teacup, stood up and went to Fuyang Palace.
