Chapter 23 The Truth About the Civet Cat Substituted for the Prince
Su Yuheng stood there in a daze. Of course she didn't want to do that.
But now, it's time to let this man have a taste of sweetness.
Only by giving him endless expectations and then pushing him into the abyss can he experience the pain of his previous life.
As she was thinking, she looked up and saw Su Yanqiu's eyes full of expectation.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, pursed her pink lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Seeing that she was silent, Su Yanqiu thought she was shy, and a low, hoarse laugh escaped from his throat.
"I was too abrupt."
"No." Su Yuheng pursed his lips and then spoke.
"Brother, you are now deeply poisoned. Heng'er dare not think about his lifelong affairs. He just wants to find a way to find an antidote for you as soon as possible."
"Once the poison in your body is completely removed, I am willing to..."
She paused for a moment, then whispered, "I am willing... to marry you."
"Give birth to you... and raise children for you, and always be by your side."
That soft voice pierced Su Yanqiu's heart like a needle.
He never thought that Su Yuheng was willing to have children for her and marry him.
For a moment, it felt a little unreal to him.
At the same time, outside the wing room, Huo Xingzhi, dressed in black, heard Su Yuheng's words and his eyes rolled slightly.
What a good show, what a good actor.
He gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes after a moment. He heard Su Yanqiu's trembling voice coming from inside.
"Heng'er, are you really willing to marry me and bear children for me?"
"Yeah." Su Yuheng nodded, his dark eyes looking at Su Yanqiu quietly.
"Being able to be with my brother in this life is Heng'er's only wish."
Huo Xingzhi could no longer bear to listen. He took out the jade pendant that Su Yuheng had given him the day before from his sleeve. On the jade pendant was engraved a line of small words "We will meet again every year".
He held the jade pendant in his palm and sneered in his heart.
She is indeed a two-faced woman.
He put the jade pendant into his sleeve, turned around and left without looking back.
In the side room, Su Yuheng, who was sitting on the couch, curled up his thin lips slightly when he saw the figure in the north disappear.
Is Huo Xingzhi jealous?
It's okay to be jealous.
She lowered her eyes again, looking at Su Yanqiu with a face full of affection, and whispered, "Second brother, after being poisoned by Luohui, you must not get too excited. If you get too excited, the poison will penetrate your internal organs faster. Heng'er will give you acupuncture today to temporarily slow the spread of the poison."
"Okay... okay." Su Yanqiu was so excited that he said "Okay" twice in a row.
When he stretched out his slender fingers to touch her delicate cheek, Su Yuheng deliberately lowered his head to take the silver needle.
"When I recover from the poison, I will tell my grandmother that I want to marry you."
Su Yuheng didn't say anything, just lowered his head and nodded silently.
She took out a silver needle from her sleeve and inserted it into Su Yanqiu's Neiguanxue. In less than a moment, Su Yanqiu fell asleep.
Seeing the man sleeping unconscious on the bed, Su Yuheng, who had been pretending to be pitiful, suddenly changed his expression.
If you want to marry her, wait for the next life.
After she left the room, she saw Mo Yu waiting outside the door.
"My second brother has been severely poisoned and has temporarily passed out. I'm afraid there's no antidote in Yanjing City. He'll probably wake up several times. Send him back to the Marquis' Mansion first. I'll definitely find a way to detoxify him."
Mo Yu nodded: "Yes, Fourth Miss."
After Su Yanqiu was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, the poisoning incident soon alarmed the reclusive Old Lady Su.
Liu and Liu Jinshu were still attending the Spring Banquet at the Princess's Mansion.
Su Yuheng used the excuse of going out to find medicine for Su Yanqiu, and left the house through the side door. He got on a carriage directly and headed to the Shen family, the General's Mansion.
As usual, she wore a purple veil and was led by Guard Zhou to meet the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Wan.
In the wing room, the originally subtle coughing sound gradually subsided. When Su Yuheng entered, he saw Shen Wan wearing a light-colored glass skirt sitting in front of the window, staring blankly.
"Miss, the disciple of Divine Doctor Fengwu is here."
Hearing Guard Zhou's voice, Shen Wan turned around and met Su Yuheng's clear eyes.
She seemed to feel that these eyes made her feel extremely friendly.
"Sister Yuheng, you're here."
Under the purple veil, Su Yuheng walked to the tea table opposite Shen Wan with a slightly curled lip and sat down, then stretched out his slender fingers to touch her wrist.
The remaining poison in Shen Wan's body has been almost cleared.
She withdrew her hand and looked at Shen Wan, then whispered: "The remaining poison has been almost cleared, and you will recover as long as you take good care of yourself."
She looked around and continued, "Sister Wan'er, have you noticed any suspicious people in the General's Mansion?"
Shen Wan shook her head and said, "I asked Guard Zhou to investigate secretly, but he didn't see anyone suspicious."
"But just in case, except for a few maids and nannies, all other servants and servants have been replaced."
Su Yuheng said, "That's good. Now that the remaining poison in your body has been cleared, you should rest well and don't worry about the past anymore."
Shen Wan lowered her eyes, her brows filled with sadness.
All the male members of the Shen family were slaughtered, and her younger brother Shen Tingzhou's whereabouts are unknown. Now there are only her and her grandmother in the Shen family. It is impossible for her not to be sad about the past.
She sighed and said, "It's been two years, and there's been no news from the Dali Temple."
She raised her eyes to look at Su Yuheng, curled her lips slightly and said: "Every time I see Miss Su's eyes, it always reminds me of my mother."
Su Yuheng was startled, and his eyes were filled with bitterness.
"Thinking of the General's wife?"
Shen Wan nodded and said, “Miss Su’s eyes are very similar to my mother’s, but it’s a pity…”
Shen Wan was silent and stopped talking.
But Su Yuheng knew how the general's wife, Zhao, died.
In her previous life, she only found out before her death that the wives of the great general, Zhao and Liu, gave birth on the same day.
The day before Liu gave birth, a fire broke out inexplicably in the Su family ancestral hall, and all the ancestral tablets of the Su family were buried in the flames.
Everyone in the Su family thought that the fetus in Liu's belly was an ominous sign.
Dingbei Hou Su Yuan went to Xuanjing Mountain overnight and asked Master Xuanming to come down the mountain to seek a solution.
Master Xuanming calculated that there would be a great catastrophe in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion in the next twenty years.
At the very least, the marquis' title would be stripped and he would be demoted to a commoner.
In serious cases, the entire family will be executed and blood will flow like a river.
The only way was to find a child who was born around the time of Liu's birth, and bring him to the Marquis's Mansion to protect the Marquis's Mansion and the child in Zhao's womb from disaster for seventeen years.
Seventeen years later, only by sacrificing this person's luck can the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion be saved.
On the night she was born, the Su family exchanged her for a dead baby from the general's mansion and sent Liu Jinshu to Yongzhou overnight.
Therefore, in her previous life, on the night of her seventeenth birthday, she was tortured to death by the Su family and her body was nailed into a dry well.
After her death, during the years she was a ghost, she saw the Dingbei Marquis Mansion prospering and gradually rising.
The wife of the great general, Zhao, always believed that she had given birth to a dead baby. From then on, she fell ill and died of depression a few years later.
However, from Liu's mouth in his previous life, Su Yuheng vaguely knew that the Dingbei Marquisate was eyeing Madam Shen's belly, and there was another person involved.
The elder sister of the current emperor, Princess Yan Ning.
