Princess Zhen prepared what Song Siyao needed, and Song Siyao began the detoxification process.

The poison that had tormented the Princess Consort for over twenty years has been completely eradicated today.

late at night.

Deep courtyard.

"What did you say? Princess Youfeng cured the Princess Consort of Zhen's poison?"

"Yes, master."

"Song Siyao, you ruined my plans! I will never forgive you!"

……

May 17th, General Jiang's Mansion.

lobby.

Shen Heng sat in the main seat, General Jiang sat in the lower seat, and Madam Jiang sat opposite General Jiang.

“Your Highness, the young girl is unruly and immature. I would like to keep her for a few more years,” General Jiang said respectfully, offering a tactful refusal.

Shen Heng has come today to propose marriage; he wants to marry Jiang Hexia as his concubine.

The prince himself came to propose marriage, which was a great honor. He did not expect General Jiang to refuse.

Shen Heng was known for his gentle temperament, and even when rejected, he remained amiable.

"General Jiang, Miss Jiang has come of age. I understand your love for your daughter and your desire for her to be by your side. We can get engaged first, and discuss the marriage later."

General Jiang realized that Shen Heng had gone to such lengths to say this, and if he refused again, he would be offending Shen Heng.

He wasn't afraid of offending Shen Heng; he was just worried that Shen Heng would make things difficult for Jiang Hexia in the future.

He knew his own daughter best. She was simple, straightforward, and without any guile. If a girl like that married into the royal family, she would probably be devoured, leaving not even bones behind.

Moreover, how could his daughter become a concubine?

His requirements for choosing a son-in-law were very simple: he didn't require him to come from a wealthy or prestigious family, as long as the other person was of good character, down-to-earth, ambitious, and genuinely devoted to his daughter.

While General Jiang was still pondering how to respond to Shen Heng, Jiang Hexia arrived, her tone extremely unfriendly, "Your Highness, this matter is not open to discussion."

"Xiaxia, what brings you here?" General Jiang didn't want Jiang Hexia to know about this.

As a father, protecting his daughter from harm is his most basic responsibility.

"Go back quickly, your father will handle this matter."

Madam Jiang added, "Daughter, listen to your father."

However, Jiang Hexia was not someone who was afraid of trouble.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, your daughter knows what she's doing."

Jiang Hexia walked up to Shen Heng, bowed to him, and then said, "Your Highness, I do not agree to this marriage, nor do I wish to."

Shen Heng looked at Jiang Hexia, and the way she spoke and her tone of voice were somewhat similar to Song Siyao's.

Jiang Hexia didn't have a stunningly beautiful face, but she was still considered to be of above-average looks.

Perhaps because she was born into a military family and grew up playing with Song Siyao, she didn't have the delicate femininity of a girl, but instead possessed a heroic spirit.

She acts decisively and gracefully, displaying a spirit that rivals any man.

Shen Heng had never seen Jiang Hexia up close before. Now that he was looking at her closely, he felt that Jiang Hexia was even better than most of the young ladies from prominent families in the capital.

He came to propose marriage on the orders of the Empress.

But suddenly, he became more interested in Jiang Hexia.

"Miss Jiang, why do you disagree? Why are you unwilling?"

Jiang Hexia said, "I am not familiar with the prince, and I do not like the prince, so I am unwilling."

“It doesn’t matter if we’re not familiar with each other. We’ll get to know each other from now on.” Shen Heng smiled, appearing unusually gentle. “As for Miss Jiang’s unwillingness, I will wait until the day Miss Jiang is willing. We can get engaged first, and then slowly cultivate our relationship.”

Jiang Hexia was surprised that Shen Heng had such a good temper, but she still stuck to her choice.

"Your Highness, you are not the one I love. We can't be together. Please don't waste your time on me."

"What kind of person does Miss Jiang like?" Shen Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression still gentle, as if he were coaxing a child.

Jiang Hexia pictured Song Siyan in her mind.

Even after many years, although she knows that Song Siyan is Song Siyao, she still feels her heart flutter when she thinks of Song Siyan.

"The man I like must be a truly upright and honorable man, with unparalleled good looks, overflowing talent, superb martial arts skills, and proficiency in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Most importantly, he must have a kind heart and compassion for all people."

She was referring to Song Siyan.

Shen Heng's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled. "The kind of person Miss Jiang is talking about probably doesn't exist in this world, right?"

"Of course it exists, it's just that Your Highness doesn't know it." Jiang Hexia said with a proud look.

Shen Heng's smile faded slightly. "So, Miss Jiang has someone she likes?"

"Of course." In order to dissuade Shen Heng from his advances, Jiang Hexia deliberately said, "I will marry no one but him in this life. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Please return."

Shen Heng's smile remained unchanged. "Miss Jiang, throughout history, marriage has always been a matter of parental agreement and matchmaker's words. You two have neither parental agreement nor matchmaker's words, so there is no relationship between you. Today, I have come to propose marriage in person. With General Jiang and Madam Jiang as witnesses, our marriage is now settled."

"Your Majesty..."

Jiang Hexia tried to stop him, but Shen Heng didn't give her the chance.

"Everything has its order of arrival. Miss Jiang, I'll come to propose marriage first. As for the person you mentioned, just pretend he doesn't exist. Don't mention him again, and I won't pursue the matter further."

After he finished speaking, he looked at General Jiang and Madam Jiang and said, "General Jiang, Madam Jiang, soon we will be a family. I am waiting for your good news."

He stood up and brushed past Jiang Hexia, whispering in her ear, "Miss Jiang, you are very interesting, I like you very much."

After he finished speaking, he left with a smile on his lips and a satisfied expression. No one from Jiang Junfu saw him off.

"General, what should we do about this?" Madam Jiang asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, even if it costs me all my military merits, I will refuse this marriage." General Jiang said coldly.

"But what if the Emperor bestows a marriage upon us?" Madam Jiang asked.

General Jiang hesitated. If the Emperor granted them a marriage and they refused, it would be considered disobeying the imperial decree and punishable by death.

He wasn't worried about his own life; he was worried about his wife, children, elderly parents, and the lives of dozens of people in the general's mansion.

"I'm going to the palace now." General Jiang stood up.

"Father, I'll go find Sister Song first. She'll definitely have a solution."

Jiang Hexia was impatient. After she finished speaking, she ran off without waiting for General Jiang and Madam Jiang to say anything.

“General, the princess is a favorite of the Emperor. Perhaps she can help. Let’s wait for Xiaxia’s news,” said Madam Jiang.

General Jiang nodded.

Jiang Hexia left the General's Mansion and headed straight for the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion.

"Princess, Miss Song has arrived." When Hongshao went to report to Song Siyao, Song Siyao was compiling a medical book.

In September, medical students will be using the new textbooks.

"Please come in quickly." Song Siyao put down her pen, and Jiang Hexia's figure had already entered the room.

"Sister Song, please save me!" Jiang Hexia cried out.
