On the carriage back to the manor, Shen Yuan examined Shen Qingshu's injuries and found that his internal organs were damaged and he wouldn't live much longer, so she shook her head.

Seeing that Shen Yuan refused to treat Shen Qingshu, Shen Changshu said indignantly, "Isn't your medical skill very good? Why won't you save Qingshu?"

Shen Yuan leaned back in the carriage and glanced lazily at Shen Changshu. "You're the happiest that he won't survive? The General's Mansion's assets will all be yours!"

"What...what nonsense are you talking about!"

His thoughts had been guessed, and a hint of panic flashed across his long, dark face.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "I can't cure him. You should find someone else who can!"

The carriage quickly stopped in front of the General's Mansion. Shen Changshu jumped off the carriage first, and then had the servants carry Shen Qingshu off the carriage to find the mansion's physician.

Shen Yuan returned to Changfeng Residence, yawned, and went straight to bed.

It was already late at night. Bai Zhi thought Shen Yuan was very sleepy, so she blew out the candle, dismissed the servants, and left Shen Yuan's bedroom.

The door closed, and Shen Yuan sat up abruptly in bed and opened the window.

Xiao Ling had been waiting outside the window for a long time.

Shen Yuan glanced at him and said succinctly, "We have to go back to the Princess's residence!"

Princess's Residence.

Xiao Yuncheng's body was placed in the former Crown Prince's residence. The bloodstains in Mingyue Palace were washed away, and several baskets of incense were lit inside. The sweet fragrance of osmanthus suppressed the smell of blood.

Xiao Yunyan was in a great mood tonight. Shen Yuan was right; she was about to get what she wanted!

Xiao Yunfei is dead, Xiao Yuncheng is dead, and of the Emperor's ten children, she is the only one who survived to the end, so that position can finally be hers!

Both are children of the Emperor and Empress, so why was Xiao Yuncheng born as the Crown Prince?

Her talent and abilities far surpassed Xiao Yuncheng's, but because she was a woman, she was pampered from childhood.

But what she wanted was not just rewards and favors, but supreme power!

Only by holding power in her own hands can she do whatever she wants and possess everything in this world.

Now, she is only one step away from that position, which makes Xiao Yunyan very happy.

In addition, today is Xiao Yunyan's wedding day, a double celebration, so she was naturally overjoyed and drank a few cups of wine with Chu Yuning in a very good mood.

"Yulang, your idea is indeed excellent!"

"It was Your Highness's wisdom and resourcefulness that made this possible."

Chu Yuning concealed the darkness in his eyes. The reason he was able to catch Xiao Yunyan's eye in this life was because he knew everything that happened in the previous life. He was useful to Xiao Yunyan and could help her.

At the same time, he also knew who would eventually take that position, which is why he chose to follow Xiao Yunyan again.

However, in her previous life, after Xiao Yunyan ascended to that position, she became extremely cruel. Not only did she wreak havoc on the Great Yan Kingdom, causing widespread suffering, but she also abandoned him to her male concubines, where he was tortured to death.

So in this life, after she ascends to that position, he will use her to get everything he wants, and then get rid of her.

Let the world, which once belonged to the Xiao family, now belong to the Chu family.

The couple, each with their own thoughts, drank the nuptial wine.

Then they walked hand in hand to the wedding bed.

The red candles flickered, and the bed curtains swayed gently in the night breeze.

A short while later, a muffled groan suddenly came from inside the tent.

Xiao Yunyan instantly lost interest. She pushed Chu Yuning, who was lying on top of her, away with disdain. "You're so useless!"

"Your Highness, I..." Chu Yuning opened her lips, wanting to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a trace of black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Dark red blood dripped down his chin and onto Xiao Yunyan's chest.

Xiao Yunyan was also startled and hurriedly pushed Chu Yuning away, "You...you've been poisoned!"

Chu Yuning collapsed at the head of the bed, vomiting large amounts of blood that she couldn't stop.

Startled, Xiao Yunyan quickly put on her outer robe and shouted towards the door, "Someone come quick! Someone come quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open from the outside.

Xiao Yunyan thought it was her maid, so she said, "Quickly summon the imperial physician, the prince consort has been poisoned."

But it was Shen Yuan's voice that came from inside the room.

"The people outside won't wake up for the time being, so Your Highness doesn't need to trouble the royal physician. There's no cure for the poison in the Prince Consort's body!"

Hearing Shen Yuan's voice, Chu Yuning forced herself to lift her head and saw Shen Yuan and Xiao Ling walk into the house one after the other.

Upon seeing Xiao Ling, Xiao Yunyan looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"You...you're still alive?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, "Royal sister, are you very disappointed to see me?"

Imperial sister?

Upon hearing those two words, Chu Yuning looked up at Xiao Ling in astonishment. Xiao Ling… could he be the Ninth Prince who was trapped on Qingyun Mountain?

How could he be the Ninth Prince?

How could the Ninth Prince still be alive?

Chu Yuning was filled with frustration. The man standing next to Shen Yuan was none other than the Ninth Prince Xiao Ling, the only son of the current emperor.

Xiao Ling walked to the bedside and said with a smile, "Royal sister, now that Father's biological children are only you and me, why don't we make a bet on who Father will pass the throne to?"

Shen Yuan picked up the conversation, "The princess won't have a chance to gamble with you anymore, because she's also been poisoned by me and won't live much longer."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunyan's shock was even greater than when she had just seen Xiao Ling. She stared at Shen Yuan in disbelief. Her food, clothing, and shelter were all taken care of by special people. She was very careful. How could she have been poisoned?

When... did she get poisoned?

Perhaps sensing Xiao Yunyan's doubts, Shen Yuan explained, "Two years ago, a plague broke out in the village where the Prince Consort lived. At that time, I went to the village where the Prince Consort lived and treated those villagers."
