"My wife is indeed helping me with my recovery, but I wonder if the emperor has ever heard of it?"

"The third brother told me. He has been very close to your nephew Shen Chejin recently, so he heard some things."

Thinking of this, Shen Xuanheng couldn't help but suspect that perhaps Shen Chejin had already defected to the Third Prince and became his spy, so the Third Prince knew everything about the Zhennan Palace.

Assuming that the poison he was poisoned with was really sent by the Third Prince, then the Third Prince just wanted to watch him die slowly, and then control Shen Chejin as a puppet and easily take control of the Zhennan Palace.

But what a coincidence, Su Xuqing suddenly married into the Zhennan Palace and took care of his health, and his complexion became better and better.

At this time, the Third Prince must be worried that Su Xuqing will be able to cure his poison, and then the title of Prince Zhen'an will inevitably fall into the hands of Shen Xuanheng.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuanheng's eyes were cold and he said in a cold voice: "So that's how it is. It's really a deep calculation."

"What, what did you think of?"

Su Xuqing's face was full of curiosity and she came very close.

Shen Xuanheng groaned for a moment, then slowly said, "I think the Third Prince may indeed be the mastermind behind this, but this is all speculation and needs to be verified carefully."

"What are you going to do?"

Su Xuqing grabbed Shen Xuanheng's hand and looked at him with burning eyes. She understood that the Third Prince's identity was there and he was a formidable enemy.

But no matter what, she will stay with Shen Xuanheng and overcome the difficulties together.

Shen Xuanheng looked deep in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "After I met the Third Prince today, I was full of doubts, so I was cautious and asked the Emperor for the position of Minister of Justice. The Zhen'an Palace has half of the military power, and now I am an official in the court, and I am a second-rank official. With such a strong force, if the Third Prince is really afraid of the Zhennan Palace, he will definitely have other means to target me later. When he can't help but take action, we can confirm whether the person behind the scenes is him."

"But in this case, aren't you in danger?"

Su Xuqing's gentle eyes were filled with worry, and she gradually tightened her grip on his hand.

"rest assured."

Shen Xuanheng smiled faintly and said, "There is the emperor in the court. Under his watchful eyes, the Third Prince dare not go too far. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more straightforward for him to poison me to death directly? The reason why he used Huangquan Powder, a strange poison, is probably because he wanted me to die like I died of illness. Otherwise, after my father returns to the capital, he will definitely start a war. He doesn't dare to take this risk."

Seeing that he was confident, Su Xuqing's tense body relaxed. She exhaled softly, staring at Shen Xuanheng's eyebrows and said, "Husband, I know there are many things in this world that have to be done, and I know that even if the Zhennan Palace gives in, those people with bad intentions will not let us go, so I can't persuade you to give up, but..."

Su Xuqing put her cheek against his palm and said tenderly, "But you must put your own safety first. I will find a way to help you."

"lady."

Shen Xuanheng was moved and held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. After all, we still have a long life to spend together."

The sun was shining, the years were long, the peach tree was rustling, and under the tree two people were supporting each other, loving each other without a doubt.

In the afternoon, the couple went to pay their respects to the old princess. During the visit, Shen Xuanheng told her that he was going to take up a position in the Ministry of Justice.

The old princess was extremely reluctant when she learned about this, and asked Shen Xuanheng to quit his job and recuperate at home on the grounds that he was in poor health.

"Mother, my husband is in much better health now. Doing something can help him stay healthy. It's not good to just sit there and do nothing."

"is it?"

The old princess was most receptive to Su Xuqing's words. Although she was reluctant, she reluctantly agreed to Shen Xuanheng's appointment to the Ministry of Justice.

Two days later, the imperial edict came down from the court, and the officials of the Ministry of Personnel delivered the imperial edict, the documents of taking office from the Ministry of Justice, and the court robes to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

After thanking the emperor for his kindness, Shen Xuanheng returned to his room and changed into purple court robes. He looked at the mirror with a stern face and said, "Madam, do you think I have an aura of majesty without even getting angry?"

Su Xuqing looked at his handsome yet slightly pale face and her heart was pounding.

"I didn't see his aura, but my husband's face is so alluring and fascinating. If he met a female prisoner, I'm afraid she would confess with just one look."

Shen Xuanheng pinched her earlobe in annoyance and pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you tease your father? Let me teach you a lesson."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."

Su Xuqing smiled and slapped his hand away, then took out a lavender dress from the closet, "Today is the Queen's birthday, I haven't changed my clothes yet, get out quickly."

"Hmm? Your husband is going out again?"

"go out!"

Su Xu's pretty face frowned, as if she was about to get angry.

Shen Xuanheng was quite helpless. After muttering "She's even on guard against her own husband", she left the room with regret.

After half an hour, Su Xuqing changed her clothes and put on light makeup before coming out of the room.

The two have been married for two months. Imperceptibly, the immaturity on Su Xuqing's face has faded, and she has become more charming. After putting on makeup, she is even more charming.

She was so elegant and gentle in a purple dress, and her slender figure made Shen Xuanheng stare at her infatuatedly.

Su Xuqing felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her, and said angrily, "Say something, please."

Shen Xuanheng took a deep breath and said, "She has soft and delicate features, and a gentle and elegant temperament. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? Oh, and she is my wife. I am so blessed."

Su Xuqing was happy in her heart, but she puffed her cheeks and pretended to be angry, "You only know how to act strangely and say nice things. I don't know how many girls you have coaxed in the past."

"Ma'am, you have wronged me again."

Shen Xuanheng quickly begged for mercy and held her hand and coaxed her again and again.

Not long after, the two of them went out hand in hand. Li Er had already prepared the carriage and was waiting at the door.

Hearing that he would send his two masters to the palace today, Li Er got up early and fed the horses with enough fodder. Although the palace was not far from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, as a farmer who had worked hard all his life, he always felt that the palace was an extraordinary place, so he had to take it seriously.

After helping Shen Xuanheng and Su Xuqing get on the carriage, Li Er put away the stool and drove the carriage to the palace with a rosy face.

In the carriage, Su Xuqing leaned her head on Shen Xuanheng's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Husband, will Shen Chejin and Su Min'er come to the palace today? I don't want to quarrel with them in the palace."

"Shen Chejin was beaten with a stick in the palace yesterday, so he will definitely not be able to move today. As for your stupid sister, she ran back to her parents' home the day before yesterday, so no one should bother you."

Upon hearing that the idiot would not come back, Su Xuqing was in a good mood and was ready to taste the imperial meal in the palace.
