Chapter 464 Engagement for Yan'er
The Queen also received the news that the Prince was ill. She sent Eunuch Cui to deliver some supplements and also asked about the cause of Xiao Changshi's illness.
After checking Xiao Changshi's pulse, the imperial physician concluded that he had accidentally ingested something that caused his diarrhea. However, Xiao Changshi was usually very careful about what he ate, and the He family was about to become his in-laws, so it was impossible for them to do such a thing.
Xiao Changshi could not tell the imperial physician what happened at the banquet, so he just asked the physician to examine him casually and tried to fool the doctor.
Fortunately, not many people knew about this matter, but when Xiao Changshi thought about the He family knowing about it, he felt like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat. He couldn't do anything to the He family, so he could only stop thinking about it.
Inside the Yunyin Pavilion, a woman in pink was respectfully bowing to another woman in red.
"Sister Qingyin, someone came to inquire about the He Mansion dinner, and the people under them tracked them to the Prince's Mansion."
The person named "Qingyin" was Chu Yin. She changed her name after the fire in Qingfeng Pavilion.
Chu Yin was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that the person who sent people to investigate was the Crown Prince's concubine Su Nanxing, the daughter of Prime Minister Su.
"Prime Minister Su has been so smart all his life, how come he gave birth to such a fool!"
She knew what Su Nanxing would do just by thinking about it. Su Nanxing would definitely destroy the marriage between the Crown Prince and the He family for the position of Crown Princess.
Chu Yin casually threw the eyebrow pencil on the table and ordered sarcastically: "Tell Su Heng about her behavior. Let him take care of the idiot he gave birth to. I don't have time to teach him a daughter!"
The reporting woman stepped back. Chu Yin picked up the silver dagger on the table and pulled it open. The blade flashed with cold light and was full of murderous intent.
At the He family dinner, Xiao Yu's condition clearly worsened. Although I couldn't get close to him, I just had to wait!
She was the one who gave Su Heng the poison. If Xiao Yu died, it would be at her hands.
She will definitely win that bet!
That night, Su Nanxing met the person sent by Su Heng.
"My Lady, the Master has sent me here to tell you that you should stop investigating the He Mansion's affairs immediately."
Su Nanxing looked at the man dressed as a servant, and the doubts in his heart were stronger than ever before.
Something must have happened that was very beneficial to her and harmful to the interests of the prince and others, so her father would stop her.
She has finally come to this day, and even her father cannot block her future. If her father and aunt don't help her, she has to take what she wants on her own.

In the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Jiang took Su Lingyue's words very seriously.
Yan'er has reached the age when she is beginning to fall in love. The second day of March is the day when Jiang Yan will come of age, and it is time for her to discuss marriage.
But the current situation in the court is unclear, so we need to be extremely cautious when discussing marriage.
After Jiang Fu finished washing up, he returned to the room and saw his wife rubbing her temple with a worried look on her face. Under the dim light, she looked very bad.
"Ma'am, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Fu walked behind her and pressed her temples.
Madam Jiang closed her eyes, her expression still solemn. "In ten days or so it will be Yan'er's coming-of-age party, and she is also at the age to discuss marriage. Does your husband have a suitable candidate?"
Jiang Fu paused and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that you would no longer be carefree after marriage and wanted Yan'er to stay at home for two more years before discussing marriage? Why are you in a hurry again?"
Madam Jiang held Jiang Fu's hand and sighed softly, "Yan'er is grown up now. Even if she doesn't get married right away, she should be arranged to marry him."
She told Jiang Fu what Su Lingyue had told her today.
"Although Yue'er didn't say it explicitly, it should be a servant in the palace. Fortunately, there are signs now. I believe Yue'er can handle the palace. As for Yan'er, we should settle it as soon as possible, so that she won't have other ideas."
"That's what the lady said."
After Jiang Fu agreed with his wife's words, the two began to discuss which young man would be suitable.
Jiang Yan's marriage not only has to take into account the emperor's suspicion, but also Jiang Yan's future.
After some discussion, they both felt that the eldest grandson of the Duke of England and the eldest son of the new Minister of Revenue were the most suitable.
Both of them came from good families, were of similar age, and had no maids in the house.
Duke Ying had already resigned from his post, and his son Lin Ju was a fourth-rank general, a position that was neither too high nor too low, and would not arouse the emperor's suspicion. With the title as a guarantee, Jiang Yan's future life would not be too bad.
The new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Yang Yun, was promoted by the emperor himself. He had a daughter and two sons. His daughter was already married, and his eldest son was still unengaged.
Jiang Fu said, "I will talk to them in the next two days. If their family agrees, I will let Yan'er meet them at the coming-of-age banquet. If they think it's a good idea, we can decide on it as soon as possible."
"I will listen to you, Master."
The couple held hands and smiled at each other.

Jiang Yan lay on the pink mattress, holding a soft pillow in her arms, staring at the pink gauze curtain in a daze.
Several maids packed up the clothes they had taken off, lit some incense, and left the bedroom.
Xiangyu, the personal maid, walked to the bedside and saw that she was unwilling to get into the quilt, so she advised: "Miss, it's time to go to bed, get into bed quickly!"
Jiang Yan threw away the soft pillow and slowly moved into the quilt. Xiangyu tucked the quilt corner for her.
"Xiangyu, Sister Ling has found her grandfather. Will she come back?" Jiang Yan murmured.
Xiangyu shook her head, "Probably not. She just found her grandfather, so she must be with him."
Jiang Yan's expression darkened. If Sister Ling was here, she could go to the palace with her to meet Master Yun.
Soon, her expression brightened, and she could use the excuse of visiting Sister Ling to go see Master Yun.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing again.
"Miss, why are you sad at one moment and happy at the same time?" Xiangyu touched her forehead worriedly, and was relieved to see that she didn't have a fever.
Jiang Yan looked at the tent ceiling with a smile on her face, and began to look forward to the daylight coming up. "Xiangyu, let's go see Sister Ling tomorrow!"
Xiangyu responded, lowered the gauze curtain, blew out the other candles, leaving only one, and went to sleep in the outer room of the bedroom.
Jiang Yan pulled up the quilt to cover her little head, and her heart couldn't stop beating when she thought of today's encounter.
They were so close that she could feel Master Yun's breath.
Jiang Yan closed her eyes, and Yun Ting's cold and handsome face filled her little head. But she knew that Mr. Yun was a warm-hearted, kind-hearted, and considerate person.
Jiang Siqi came back from his shift and learned that Ling Ling had left the palace, so he hurriedly asked his sister-in-law Wang what had happened.
Wang told Jiang Siqi that Ling Ling had found her grandfather and that her grandfather was the official physician of Prince Su's mansion.
Jiang Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending some time together, he felt that Ling Ling was a nice girl with a cheerful personality and filial piety.
She had been looking for her grandfather for so long, but Jiang Siqi just thought that her grandfather had passed away and didn't feel bad about it.
Unexpectedly, not only did I find him, but he was also the court physician of my cousin's house.
Jiang Siqi laughed. Her cousin saved her, and it took her so long to find her grandfather.
It's true that fools have good luck.
That night, Ling Ling and Doctor Lu chatted until midnight before going back to their rooms to sleep.
Ling Ling told Dr. Lu about her family's life over the years.
In an instant, Doctor Lu felt a desire in his heart. After the prince was cured, he would ride quickly to see his wife and daughter and never leave them again in this life.
