Zhao Zhuoxi didn't feel any discomfort at first.

It was just the frequent vomiting of blood that made him feel a little weak.

He asked the imperial physician to come and see, but he couldn't find anything. In the end, he found Chu Yu himself.

After Chu Yu carefully took his pulse, she told him that he was poisoned.

Moreover, he was poisoned by a very strange poison that came from the Western Regions. Chu Yu had only heard of it but didn't know how to cure it.

It was from this time that Zhao Zhuoxi began to reorganize the business.

He wanted to ensure that after his death, Jiang Jiu and the child could live well in his fiefdom.

So, he asked Lu Ming and Nishang to hide it from everyone.

Jiang Jiu was extremely anxious: "What kind of poison is this? Even Chu Yu can't cure it..."

Nichang was also very sad: "We have been on high alert every day, but we didn't expect the master to be poisoned. Princess, you are pregnant now, so don't be too sad. The master will find a way to solve it."

"If the master knew that the princess knew, she would definitely be distressed."

Yes, Jiang Jiu forced herself to cheer up. She couldn't let Zhao Zhuoxi know about her illness. She was pregnant now. If Zhao Zhuoxi knew about it, he would get worried and her condition would definitely get worse.

Jiang Jiu was also very surprised: "We supply our own food every day, and our palace is surrounded by people. The maids and servants who tasted the food were fine, which means the poison was not put in the food..."

Zhao Zhuoxi has paid great attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital.

Jiang Jiu really couldn't figure out how Zhao Zhuoxi got poisoned.

He was clearly fine when he first came to Beijing, and there was no sign of poisoning after Zhao Zhuoxi fell into a coma.

As he was talking, Zhao Zhuoxi came back from outside.

Still full of energy, but looking a little thin.

Jiang Jiu personally stewed a ginseng, deer antler and red date soup for him to replenish his blood.

"Where have you been?" Jiang Jiu suppressed his worries and tried his best to appear happier.

Zhao Zhuoxi frowned and said, "I went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Although he was willing to help me, he did not agree with my marriage to Yao Qin."

"I don't agree with it, but that Yao Qin...ah..."

Jiang Jiu chuckled: "She insisted on marrying you..."

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled bitterly: "A little girl. I don't remember what she looked like at all. I only remember that she had a birthmark on her face."

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Even if she is the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, it is not easy for her to get married. It is easy to find someone to marry her, but it is difficult to find someone who truly treats her well."

That’s why the Duke of Zhenguo was also worried.

Zhao Zhuoxi added, "With the Duke of Zhenguo here, Nanli Kingdom wouldn't dare invade Daning. Now that Beidi has come to us for marriage, Nanli Kingdom is also planning to send someone to us for marriage."

Jiang Jiu: "This is a good thing. We don't have to fight anymore, and Prince Ling's military power can be taken back..."

If the emperor is tough enough.

However, the emperor seemed to be afraid to take away Prince Ling’s military power.

Zhao Zhuoxi shook his head. "No, the Nanli Kingdom is not like the Beidi Kingdom. Their royal family is very strong-willed. They will only stop if we scare them off or if we take over the Nanli Kingdom."

"Besides, when the Duke of Zhenguo was at war with the Nanli Kingdom, he killed the entire family of the Duke of Huguo. If Nanli negotiates peace with us, the Duke of Zhenguo will have a hard time..."

Jiang Jiu understood and was afraid that the people of Nanli would take revenge on the Duke of Zhenguo's family.

Therefore, although the Duke of Zhenguo felt sorry for his granddaughter, he still agreed to the marriage between Zhao Zhuoxi and Yao Qin, because Zhao Zhuoxi could at least protect Yao Qin.

Plus, Yao Qin really likes Zhao Zhuoxi.

The envoy from the Nanli Kingdom is on the way, and the Princess of Beidi is still choosing a husband.

Just when Jiang Jiu felt sorry for Zhao Zhuoxi and worked hard to make soup and medicine for him and searched through ancient books to find the cause of his illness, Princess Zhaoyang asked her to go home.

Nanny Xing came to pick me up in person.

"Princess, the princess is sick and misses you. Please come home and stay for a few more days."

After all, Jiang Jiu is Su Man's body. Daning attaches great importance to filial piety, so he has to go back no matter how unwilling he is.

Jiang Jiu packed up her things and turned around to see the jade pendant on her body. It was already 90% red. At this moment, as long as she smashed it, she would be the real Jiang Jiu from now on and no longer Su Man.

I wonder if the jade pendant will be replaced when I return to Princess Zhaoyang.

At this moment, Zhao Zhuoxi came to see her off and handed her a white jade pendant.

"This is a fake one. Wear it if you need it. Never leave yours. If it's full, break it."

Jiang Jiu stuffed the jade pendant into his sleeve pocket.

But Jiang Jiu didn't expect that Princess Zhaoyang's illness was fake and she was really discussing important matters.

Princess Zhaoyang smiled kindly when she saw Jiang Jiu coming back.

"Xiaojiu, I heard you're pregnant. I wonder how you're doing? Grandma has asked a doctor to see you."

While speaking, Princess Zhaoyang took the jade pendant and took a look at it. Seeing that it had not turned completely red, she put it down.

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that when she was pregnant, Zhao Zhuoxi didn't tell anyone, but she knew it.

Thinking of the four maids, it became clear.

The doctor personally felt Jiang Jiu's pulse and nodded: "Your Highness, the princess is indeed pregnant and has been pregnant for two months... The princess is also in good health and can continue to recuperate."

Princess Zhaoyang was overjoyed and gave the doctor many rewards.

He took Jiang Jiu's hand and sat down, looked around and waved.

Everyone left, and only Nanny Xing was left in the room.

"Xiaojiu, since you're pregnant, there's something I want to tell you..."

Jiang Jiu's heart tightened: "What's the matter?"

Princess Zhaoyang patted her hands and said, "Don't be nervous. Listen to what grandma will tell you slowly..."

"Your Majesty's health is failing. The virtuous concubine lost her pregnancy, and I heard it was a boy... If your Majesty passes away, and that little kid ascends the throne, do you think your Majesty will be at ease with the Prince of Qi?"

Jiang Jiu frowned. Why did she hear Zhao Zhuoxi say that Concubine Xian was pregnant with a princess?

Yes, whether male or female, anyone can get it, it just depends on who will do it at the time.

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything and listened carefully.

Princess Zhaoyang: "Prince Ling has been planning for so long. When the emperor issues an edict, he will be the regent..."

Jiang Jiu knew clearly that both Princess Zhaoyang and Grand Secretary Qin Yuan had become Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran's people, and in fact, they were on the side of the emperor.

It’s easy to understand others, but Jiang Jiu really doesn’t understand Qin Yuan.

Question: "Grandmother, why is Prince Ling the regent and not Prince Qi?"

Princess Showa smiled and said, "By then, Prince Qi will probably be gone. Besides, Prince Qi cannot ascend the throne because his mother is not from Daning..."

Jiang Jiu was shocked: "Isn't she Lord Qin's daughter?"

Princess Showa shook her head: "She is Lord Qin's daughter, but she is an illegitimate daughter. Her mother is from the Western Regions..."

Therefore, Zhao Zhuoxi's bloodline is impure.

Jiang Jiu was shocked again: "But when the late emperor passed away, didn't he leave a will to give the throne to the King of Qi? The late emperor didn't despise him, why do you despise him..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Princess Showa's eyes.

"It seems that you two have a good relationship. He talked to you a lot..."

"The late emperor's doting on his mother led to his confusion. We can't let this happen. Furthermore, if the King of Qi ascends the throne, the world will be in chaos. This is according to divination. Therefore, no matter what, the King of Qi cannot stay in the capital..."
