As the eunuchs gradually went away, everyone in the marquis's mansion was still immersed in the shock of the "gift-giving" just now.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo smiled slightly and broke the silence: "The Queen thinks so highly of Jin Yue. This marriage is really a great joy!"

Jiang Caiping quickly agreed: "Madam is right. The Queen's kindness is truly something we in the Marquisate are grateful for."

However, Su Yan's expression was complicated and hard to understand. He glanced at the luxurious gifts, and although there was a smile on his face, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

After the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo left, Su Jinyue took Xiaotao back to Wangyuexuan.

Xiao Tao followed behind her and asked in a low voice: "Miss, the Queen is so high-profile, is she trying to establish her authority in front of our Marquis' Mansion, or does she have other intentions?"

Su Jinyue replied softly: "No matter which one it is, she must have some intention, we must act carefully."

"Do you want to see General Xiao again tonight?" Xiao Tao asked again.

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked into the depths of the Marquis' Mansion, sneering, "No, we won't move tonight, let them test their strength again."

As night fell, the front yard of the mansion was still brightly lit.

Several maids were talking in the corridor.

"Have you heard? The Queen sent so many valuable gifts, even a golden hairpin and jade Buddha beads!"

"Isn't it? Who can be so lucky as to marry a young general from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and be favored by the Queen?"

"Hush! These are not things we can discuss. Be careful or you'll get into trouble!"

As the maids were talking, they suddenly saw a group of servants with swords walking by. They were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and retreated to the corridor.

These attendants were extremely imposing, and their demeanor revealed a solemn and murderous aura.

The leader was the old housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. He waved his sleeves and said to the guards: "The patrol tonight must be extra strict. There must not be any mistakes!"

Late at night, inside the Moon Watching Pavilion.

Su Jinyue sat in front of the desk, her eyes as calm as water, her fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. The flickering candlelight in the room made her face look even colder.

"Xiao Tao." She called softly.

Xiao Tao pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Su Jinyue raised her eyes slightly, her tone calm but revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Send a few people to watch the mansion from the back door. They must be hidden and report any disturbance immediately."

Xiao Tao nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss, I'll do it right away."

After she left, Su Jinyue lowered her head and looked at the desk, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Although the gift from the Queen was precious, it was like a double-edged sword. On the surface it was a gift, but in reality it was a warning.

It seems to be a prosperous and glorious place, but in fact it is full of hidden dangers.

Soon, there were faint footsteps outside the window. Su Jinyue frowned and lowered her voice, "Who's there?"

A familiar voice sounded: "It's me."

The figure outside the window climbed in and Xiao Duo fell to the ground silently.

His face was solemn, his eyes were like torches: "Jin Yue, there is another unusual movement in the palace tonight."

Su Jinyue's heart sank slightly, and she immediately asked, "What's the unusual movement?"

Xiao Duo took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to her: "She mobilized several trusted members of the Imperial Guards and assigned them to several key positions, especially the East Palace area, which is heavily guarded. My people speculated that this might be to cover her actions."

Su Jinyue closed the letter, thought for a moment, and said firmly: "In this case, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Since she wants to test us, then we should get married openly and give the Queen a chance."

Xiao Duo nodded and said, "I will leave the palace tomorrow to prepare the details of the wedding."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Jinyue and said, "It's just that I feel guilty. Marriage should have been a matter between you and me. I didn't expect that because of the Queen's incident, it would ruin her original intention."

Su Jinyue pursed her lips and smiled, "You've said this before, but I don't care. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to do it no matter what."

Xiao Duo's eyes softened and he held Su Jinyue's hand, "With your words, I will not be afraid of any storm."

Just as the two were talking warmly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and Xiao Tao's voice came through the door: "Miss, something bad happened!"

Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Duo, signaling him to stay calm, and she got up and opened the door.

Xiao Tao rushed in panicked and said in a low voice, "The people I sent just now saw a few strangers taking advantage of our guards. They seemed to be sneaking around with some plans."

Su Jinyue's heart tightened, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Xiao Tao, "Send someone to keep a close eye on their whereabouts, and if necessary, use the secret agents we have arranged nearby."

Xiao Tao nodded and left. Su Jinyue turned to Xiao Duo and said, "It seems that the queen can't hold back any longer. We have to be extra careful."

Xiao Duo looked solemn and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will arrange more people to protect you on the eve of your marriage."

The next day, the entire mansion was filled with a lively atmosphere of the upcoming wedding.

The maids in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion were busy preparing various ceremonies, especially Su Jinyue's bridal chamber, which was decorated magnificently.

The people sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had been busy all night long, making final preparations for the wedding.

However, the superficial excitement cannot cover up the inner worries.

Su Jinyue stood in front of the window, looking at the busy scene in the mansion, but a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.

At this time, Jiang Caiping walked in and saw her daughter in such a trance. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Jinyue, such a beautiful bride, why is she still frowning?"

Su Jinyue came back to her senses and smiled slightly to hide her inner turmoil: "Mother, I'm just a little nervous."

Jiang Caiping patted her hands and said in a motherly tone, "What girl wouldn't be nervous about getting married? You just need to be at ease and be your bride."

Su Jinyue nodded, her smile slightly restrained.

The wedding date finally arrived as scheduled. Nothing happened during the wedding and everyone was immersed in the joy of getting married.

Under the attention of the people around her, Su Jinyue walked out of her boudoir in her wedding dress, looking beautiful and charming. Her every move attracted the attention of the guests.

"Look, that's today's protagonist, Miss Su. She is indeed stunningly beautiful."

"Yes, not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also highly regarded by the Queen. How enviable."

Su Jinyue, wearing a red veil, walked out of the Marquis' Mansion, got into the wedding carriage, and drove to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

As the carriage moved slowly forward, gongs and drums sounded outside, and people on the street flocked out to watch.

"I heard that this is the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion getting married to the young general of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion!"
