Chapter 322 Su Qiwen Gets Married
He now understands very well the principle of never putting all your eggs in one basket.
It’s not that Murong Li is not good enough, but the emperor thinks he is too good and has posed a serious threat to his position.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to pass the throne to Murong Li, but he can’t do it now. He feels that the peak of his life is about to begin.
He hasn't done enough as emperor yet, how can he be kicked out halfway?
Su Yue didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and even if she knew, she would only sneer. She could heal the emperor's body and give him a healthy body, or she could give him a dying body. It all depended on his attitude towards them.
In other words, whether the emperor wants to die depends on his attitude.
It doesn’t matter whether the emperor is dead or not. If he dies, there are still two princes. One of them will definitely take the throne and there will be no chaos.
The only trouble was between Murong Li and Murong Yi.
"emperor."
The delicate body of Concubine Shu leaned against the emperor, but a fierce look flashed in her eyes. The emperor was distracted while talking to her.
She never thought she could get pregnant again at the age of nearly forty. If it was a prince this time, she would definitely protect this son and let him grow up safely, and then...
The emperor came back to his senses and patted her on the back: "Take good care of him, don't let me down."
Concubine Shu was startled, then delighted. The emperor also hoped that the child would be born safely, which made her feel relieved. She nodded repeatedly and said, "I will definitely protect our prince."
"That's good. My beloved concubine, if you want to eat something, just ask the imperial kitchen to bring it to you. If you need anything, just tell me and I will definitely find a way to satisfy you."
Concubine Shu shook her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't lack anything. I just hope Your Majesty will spend more time with me when you are free."
It was a well-known fact that there weren't many things in the emperor's private treasury. She wouldn't do anything stupid at this time. The emperor was the most stingy. Those things were much rarer than those of the women in the harem. She wouldn't offend the emperor.
The emperor likes women who know practical matters the most. As expected, after hearing what Concubine Shu said, he felt relieved.
Shufei is a sensible woman, which is why he dotes on her. He patted her and then took a rest in Wanyi Palace.
The next day, the emperor picked out some things from his private storehouse and sent them to Concubine Shu.
When Concubine Shu saw those things, she looked unhappy and asked someone to take them away.
What's good about what the emperor sent now?
However, just after receiving these things, Concubine Xian, Concubine De and Concubine Liang all sent gifts, which were much more impressive than those sent by the emperor.
Concubine Shu happily accepted it.
Then came other concubines.
Even Concubine Yun sent someone to deliver gifts.
Concubine Shu raised the corner of her lips. She was quite surprised that Concubine Yun sent her a gift. Didn't she understand that the child in her belly might threaten her position as the Empress Dowager?
However, no matter the purpose of the concubines sending gifts, Concubine Shu asked the nanny to put these things separately and not put them together with her previous things.
The people in the palace were all smart and naturally understood what Concubine Shu meant, so they put the things in another room.
Su Yue learned the news in the afternoon, and Murong Li told her after he returned from court.
"Should we go to the palace and congratulate Concubine Shu?" Su Yue asked.
"Of course we have to go. At least we have to call our mother and concubine Shu. Let's talk about it after tomorrow."
Su Yue nodded, and then went to help.
She did not return to the prince's mansion today, but stayed in the marquis's mansion to help the eldest lady and others.
The Marquis' Mansion had made preparations long ago, but it was still very busy when the time came.
Even Su Xue was in a good mood to help.
The next day, the entrance to the mansion was filled with big red lanterns, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
The Su family also changed into festive clothes to welcome the guests.
The number of guests coming today is no less than that of the day before, in fact it has increased instead of decreased. Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion was well prepared and was not caught off guard.
Not only did the emperor and Concubine Yun send gifts to the palace, but the four concubines also sent gifts, and other concubines of high rank also sent gifts.
The Marquis' Mansion received them one by one, registered them all and put them aside.
Early in the morning, Su Qiwen went to pick up the bride.
The Luo Mansion was only one street away from the Marquis Mansion, not very far away. After Su Qiwen picked up the bride, he took a walk around the city before returning to the Marquis Mansion.
In a lively atmosphere, the bride and groom had their wedding ceremony smoothly.
At this point, the people in the Marquis' Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
The smooth wedding ceremony was possible thanks to Su Yue, who had been monitoring the situation with her mental power. Once she saw anything unusual, she would nip it in the bud.
For example, this morning, a large truck of vegetables wanted to be sent into the mansion through the back door, and was checked by Su Yue's mental power.
The Marquis' Mansion did not order so many vegetables from outside. Most of them came from her space, and only a few were purchased from outside because they were afraid that someone would make trouble for the food.
So Su Yue immediately had the car and the people detained.
After Su Yue's questioning and inspection, it turned out that there was indeed something wrong with the food in the car.
All the food on this cart had been tampered with and laxatives had been added. Although they couldn't poison people to death, they could cause diarrhea after eating them, causing trouble for the Marquis' Mansion.
According to the clerk, a man who claimed to be the steward of a marquis's mansion came to their vegetable store this morning to order a truckload of vegetables. After they loaded the truck, the man left first, saying he had something to do, and asked them to take the vegetables to the marquis's mansion.
This kind of thing is most common in the capital. Every household does this and just asks the business to deliver the goods. Most of the time, they pay on a monthly basis.
Although this vegetable shop was not delivering vegetables to the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion was holding a wedding today and needed a lot of vegetables. The owner of the vegetable shop never thought that someone was plotting something bad in between.
If they knew, they wouldn't dare to send it. If something went wrong after eating the food from his shop, they would be held responsible, and they couldn't afford it.
Those who came to the Marquis' Mansion today were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital.
Su Yue knew that the waiter was not lying, so she let him go and only confiscated the cart of vegetables.
According to the waiter's account, the person who pretended to be from the Marquis' Mansion and ordered the dishes was a man in his twenties. He was not good-looking and had no special features. In the end, the waiter could not explain why.
Su Yue knew that it would be difficult to find this person, so she gave up looking for him. Anyway, those people wanted to harm others, so she would deal with them one by one when she had time.
Not only the food, but also the wine that was served had problems.
Su Yue had some wine in her space, but it was a waste to give it to the guests, and the quantity was not enough, so the Marquis' Mansion had to buy some from outside. She checked each jar and found that half of them were poisoned.
It turned out to be the colorless and tasteless Ten-Day Drunk. Once this poison enters the mouth, it will make the poisoned person feel like being drunk and will not wake up until ten days later. However, when waking up, the poison will take effect and the person will die in an instant.
