Chapter 688: Cuscuta Cousin 51
Main courtyard.
Madam Xiao was talking to Dr. Hao.
Doctor Hao: "The poison in the prince's body has entered his lungs. I'm afraid the medicine I have can only suppress it for three years at most."
Madam Xiao's eyes turned red, her voice trembled, and her fingers pinched the armrest so hard that they turned white: "Only... three... three years..."
Doctor Hao sighed: "It's because my medical skills are not good enough."
Madam Xiao couldn't hide her sobs.
After Doctor Hao left, Nanny Yang also came back.
"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife likes the fruits and vegetables you sent over very much."
When Lady Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but smile, but her eyes were still red.
"Madam Yang, I like Ying'er very much when I see her..."
The child was so good, but she hid the fact that Ye Ze was poisoned from her. Lady Xiao Guogong felt heavy in her heart and always felt that she was very selfish.
She thought that if Ye Ze only had three years left, if he could marry his beloved and have his company, he would have no regrets.
She told herself in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she would support her daughter-in-law to remarry, would not let her be a widow, and would give her a generous dowry and support her.
As for the matter of children, Lady Xiao had never thought about it.
Lady Xiao, the Duke's wife, had no idea that her son had been poisoned and had already confessed it to her daughter-in-law.

Ji family.
"Ji Yunxiu, give me back my dowry, thirty thousand taels!"
That night, Song Yuwan couldn't see Ji Yunxiu no matter what she did. She finally got the news that Ji Yunxiu had gone to Aunt Zhilan's place again. She couldn't bear it anymore and killed him directly.
"What silver?!" Ji Yunxiu hugged Aunt Zhilan and sneered: "Song Yuwan, are you still not awake? You and the Song family have long severed ties. When you got married, your dowry was not 30,000 taels!"
Song Yuwan didn't expect him to turn his face and deny it: "Ji Yunxiu, a few days ago, you took money from me. Everyone in my yard knows it! Even the servants who serve you know it! How can you turn your face and deny it?!"
Ji Yunxiu looked at the servant, then at the servants serving Song Yuwan, his face full of indifference.
"The young lady said that I took her silver. You will testify, right?"
The servant hurriedly shook his head: "Young Madam is obviously talking nonsense. When did the young master take the young madam's dowry?"
Several maids also denied it one after another. As for Bishuang, she didn't dare to say a word and just remained silent.
Song Yuwan's heart sank completely.
Ji Yunxiu didn't believe Song Yuwan's news at all, so he naturally wouldn't give her face: "Did you hear that? When did I ever take your money?"
"Yes, sister, the young master has plenty of money, why would he covet your dowry?" Zhilan laughed: "Sister, are you here to make fun of me?"
"Ji Yunxiu! I will fight you!"
Song Yuwan was already full of anger, and when he saw Zhilan's provocative look, he rushed forward.
Ji Yunxiu raised his hand.
As soon as the slap landed, with a "Puff!" sound, a sharp weapon was pierced into the body.
"You!" Ji Yunxiu lowered his head in disbelief.
Song Yuwan's eyes were fierce, and he increased his strength: "Ji Yunxiu, if I'm not doing well, you won't be doing well either!"
"Evil woman!" Amid the screams of the crowd, Ji Yunxiu kicked Song Yuwan directly in the chest. After the kick, he fell to the ground with a pale face.
Song Yuwan felt pain in his chest and vomited blood, but he was laughing when he was held down by the servants.

Several days passed one after another.
One night, it suddenly rained heavily.
The situation in the capital became increasingly serious as the new emperor became more and more absurd.
Imperial Palace, Guangming Hall.
"Your Majesty, the neighboring country to the west has already been informed."
The head eunuch leaned forward without even looking at the dying young eunuch on the ground, or perhaps he was already very familiar with this scene.
The new emperor was holding a beauty in his arms. Hearing this, he ate the grapes that the beauty handed to him and said, "Good, very good."
"The people in Duke Xiao's mansion are just like Duke Fu and his men. They make me annoyed!"
The chief eunuch calmly said, "Your Majesty, it is because of Master Xiao that some people in the court dare to disobey you."
With a "bang", the new emperor's face darkened visibly when he heard the words, and he slammed his palm directly on the table.
"Hiss~" Before the new emperor could say anything, the beauty in his arms was startled and let out a slight cry of pain.
The new emperor raised his hand and pushed the man to the ground in disgust: "Drag him out and feed him to the dogs."
"Emperor...well." Before the beauty could even beg for mercy, her mouth was gagged and she was dragged away.
The new emperor didn't take the beauty seriously at all: "Xiao Ye Ze actually dared to snatch the woman I like, then there is no need for him to live in this world."
"Now that everything has been arranged over there, it's his turn."
His eyes turned fierce, and he said quietly: "It is better not to drag the war on for too long, or we will waste our treasury."
-
The next day.
Before Xiao Ye Ze returned from court, Sheng Huan learned that he was about to go on an expedition, with his destination being the border with the neighboring country to the west.
Time is running out, so we have to set off tomorrow.
And tonight, he has to recruit his troops.
In other words, he doesn't have much time to stay at home.
"Why are you in such a hurry?!" Sheng Huan quickly ordered the servants to pack their luggage.
Xiao Ye Ze held Sheng Huan's hand and smiled reassuringly: "I'm not that surprised."
"Ying'er, there's no need to rush."
"There's no need to rush." Sheng Huan squeezed his hand and felt his pulse calmly: "When you go out on this expedition, you must be careful about what you bring with you."
The man's pulse was not calm, but compared to the previous chaos, there was a subtle vitality underneath.
Sheng Huan quietly condensed a mist on his body.
After all, it can protect him.
Xiao Ye Ze didn't know all this, he just thought that his wife was reluctant to let him leave.
That’s right, they have only been married for a short time, not even half a month.
"It won't be long. I'll be back as soon as possible." Xiao Ye Ze turned around and held the woman's hand tightly in his palm.
The two held hands and could clearly feel each other's body temperature and their attachment to each other.
Time is always running out, and soon it was time for Xiao Ye Ze to leave.
Mo Tian also walked in from outside. He didn't want to disturb his master and his wife. However, time waits for no one. He bowed and said, "Sir, it's time."
"Husband." Sheng Huan squeezed the man's hand tightly, her almond eyes fixed on him: "Be careful about everything."
"Take care of yourself."
Xiao Ye Ze looked into her eyes and restrained himself to hold her in his arms. He hid his reluctance and whispered in her ear: "Ying'er, you must carry those two tokens with you."
"Remember, don't leave."
