Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Physician Zhang!

Su Yu took the poison out of her mouth again, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Xiao Jingqi seemed to understand her thoughts as well.

When Imperial Physician Zhang entered and bowed, he looked up and saw that the woman, who was leaning against the bedside and eating fruit, did not look like the Princess Qin who had been poisoned.

"You...you are Miss Fang!"

Physician Zhang shouted out in his excitement.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Lord Zhang, there's no need for such formalities."

Su Yu had already gotten out of bed and invited Physician Zhang to sit down.

"I hope Physician Zhang has been well."

A cup of hot tea was pushed towards him, and Physician Zhang said with trepidation, "This humble official was unaware of Princess Qin's identity before, and I have offended you greatly."

I had heard before that Minister Su's eldest son's wife and daughter had been found and that a grand banquet had been held.

Not only did he have no connection with Lord Su, but his official rank was too low, and he hadn't been invited, so naturally he didn't know that Fang Yu was Su Yu.

"It's alright, I didn't know my identity before either."

"Does Physician Zhang know why you have come here today?" Su Yu asked again.

"Of course I know, it's to take the pulse of the poisoned Princess Qin."

Imperial Physician Zhang cupped his hands and raised his head, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Su Yu in surprise: "Then, Your Highness, are you poisoned?"

Su Yu nodded seriously: "If you are poisoned by a rare and deadly poison, you will die immediately if you do not receive the antidote within three days."

Physician Zhang nodded in agreement: "Very well, I will record every word of the Princess's words in my medical record when I return."

"What if someone asks about it?"

Su Yu asked again.

Physician Zhang tensed up and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, rest assured, I know what I should and shouldn't say."

Su Yu took out a notebook from his pocket: "These are the results of my recent intensive research. If Physician Zhang doesn't mind, please take them back and have a look."

"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness!"

Physician Zhang didn't even need to examine it; he hurriedly tucked it into his robes, afraid that Su Yu would regret it if he was too late.

"Then, Physician Zhang, please stay a little longer before you leave."

Physician Zhang felt extremely uncomfortable, but since the prince hadn't given any orders, he didn't dare leave and could only sit there awkwardly.

Su Yu sat back down on the bed.

Xiao Jingqi then fed Su Yu pieces of the cut fruit one by one.

Su Yu also sighed: "Luckily it was Physician Zhang who came, otherwise I would have had to take some poison, which tastes terrible."

Xiao Jingqi asked her in a doting tone, as if no one else was around, "Would Yu'er like some pastries or Miss Su's food? I'll have Mo Jiu arrange it."

"Forget it, after all, I'm currently poisoned, so it's not suitable for me to eat anything too good."

The two of them were exchanging words, and if Physician Zhang still couldn't sense the mutual affection between them, then something was definitely amiss.

Just a few days ago, I clearly heard that the King of Qin was very dissatisfied with this marriage and knelt before the Queen Mother for several hours because of it.

Physician Zhang suddenly remembered that when they were in Yinzhou, he and a group of other physicians had advised the Crown Prince to bring Miss Fang into the Imperial Physicians' Shu.

At the time, he still thought that Miss Fang was the woman the Crown Prince admired.

It seems that this young lady has always been the woman the King of Qin desired.

A conspiracy! This is a conspiracy!!!

Physician Zhang silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Oh no, it seems he knows something he shouldn't know. Will the King of Qin kill him to silence him?

Probably not. The Princess of Qin cares deeply for the people and even gave him a letter; she's a good person...

Just as Physician Zhang was lost in thought, he was completely absorbed in his own world.

Xiao Jingqi's voice came from the side: "Send Physician Zhang back."

After Physician Zhang left.

Since the person who poisoned the body could not be identified, Xiao Jingqi disposed of all the people in the mansion who had been arranged by the Empress Dowager, as previously stated.

As a result, the Empress Dowager couldn't find any information.

Consort Rou heard that Su Yu was unwell and postponed her greetings to tomorrow.

She quickly sent someone to deliver some tonics.

Seeing the table full of deer antler, ginseng... highly nourishing foods.

Su Yu spat out the tea she had just drunk and looked at Xiao Jingqi beside her, asking, "Did Consort Rou send all of these?"

Xiao Jingqi wiped the corner of her mouth for her and corrected her address: "It is Mother Consort."

"Fine." Su Yu gritted her teeth: "What did you tell Mother?"

"Just say you're not feeling well and will come to pay your respects tomorrow."

It seems that Consort Rou has misunderstood.

The Empress Dowager's men kept watch near the Prince of Qin's residence all day. When night fell, they saw Mo Jiu lead a person wearing a cloak over the courtyard wall.

But it doesn't appear.

After Su Yu finished bathing and changing, Xiao Jingqi arrived.

When Su Yu went to see Yan'er, she had already run out and even closed the door.

Su Yu "..."

Xiao Jingqi cautiously approached her and gently took her hand: "Yu'er, there are no Empress Dowager's people in the courtyard anymore, can we...?"

He looked at Su Yu with a gaze that seemed to want to laugh but dared not.

When Su Yu looked up, it was as if she were staring into the eyes of a big, wide-eyed dog.

Su Yu patted his head and could smell that he smelled very nice, obviously he had just taken a bath.

Thinking back, Su Yu still felt a bit of desire for his body.

Just looking at it would be a waste of its resources.

Su Yu cupped his face in her hands, leaned in, and gently placed a kiss on his cheek.

Once that kiss started, there was no stopping it.

Previously, Xiao Jingqi had only dabbled in it.

Su Yu is now his wife.

He certainly wouldn't hold back any longer.

Yan'er, who was guarding the door, heard the faint sounds coming from inside the room and her ears turned red without her noticing.

It continued until late at night.

Su Yu leaned against Xiao Jingqi, her eyelids almost drooping, and said in a coquettish tone, "Zizhao, take a rest, I'm so tired."

Xiao Jingqi gripped his hand and slid it down his muscular abdomen, his pitiful voice lingering in her ear: "Yu'er, just this once, okay?"

Beauty can be deceiving; that's certainly true.

Su Yu pushed him away, sat up, got out of bed, and left.

Xiao Jingqi thought she was angry, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and was about to chase after her.

Su Yu walked to the table, grabbed a handful of the fine goji berries that Consort Rou had sent, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Xiao Jingqi caught up and saw this scene, and was slightly surprised.

"I'll fight you!"

While chewing on goji berries, Su Yu walked over, grabbed Xiao Jingqi's collar, threw him onto the bed, and then pressed down on him.

……

They woke up together early in the morning.

Su Yu gave him a nudge: "Don't sleep, we have to go pay our respects to Mother later."

Just thinking about the Empress Dowager's expression when she appeared unharmed made Su Yu want to laugh.

Xiao Jingqi pulled her into his arms, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and then helped her to her feet.

They boarded the carriage to enter the palace, but Su Yu couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on his shoulder.

This guy's stamina is too good; even if Su Yu ate a handful of goji berries, she still couldn't beat him.

When the Empress Dowager received word that the King of Qin and his wife had come to the palace to pay their respects, they learned that the King and his wife had arrived.

Xiao Jingqi has already arrived at Consort Rou's palace.

Su Yu knelt down respectfully, offered tea, and said, "Mother, please have some tea."

Although this was the first time Consort Rou had met Su Yu, no matter how you looked at her, she did not seem as vulgar and uncouth as outsiders had described.
