The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

The morning light is dim, the sun rises gradually, and soon the ground is covered with rosy clouds. This is the best time of summer, not too cold or too hot, and with plenty of sunshine.

There was still last night's dew on the branches of flowers in the early morning, and the morning breeze blew past, shaking off a few drops of dew.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood in front of the window, spread his arms, closed his eyes and felt the coolness of the early morning.

Mu Jin brought in some clean water and said, "Miss, I will help you wash up."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and let Mu Jin serve him.

"Miss, I heard that someone has replaced your exam paper. Do you know who is behind this?"

"I have my suspicions in my mind, but I just don't have the evidence."

"Who is it? Why is he targeting the girl? Will he harm her again in the future?"

"It's okay. I'm on guard against her."

After washing up, Mu Jin brought in breakfast.

While they were having breakfast, Chun Xing came in and said that the Fifth Prince had arrived.

After a while, the maid led Chu Heng into the yard.

Cheng Jiuyuan wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and asked, "Your Highness, can you have breakfast?"

"Not yet."

"Bring another set of bowls and chopsticks." Cheng Jiuyuan ordered.

"Yes."

Soon the maid added more bowls and chopsticks and brought in some more breakfast.

Chu Heng sat opposite Cheng Jiuyuan, picked up his chopsticks and had breakfast with her. The maids tactfully left the room.

"You came so early, is there any progress on Zhang Jiucheng's case?"

Chu Heng only ate a small bowl of glutinous rice porridge and then put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Zhang Jiucheng said to pick it up in ten days."

"Where has he been hiding in the past few years?" Cheng Jiuyuan also put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked to the window, pouring two cups of tea.

Chu Heng also stood up and sat over. "He did take refuge with Chu Ze and has been living in Shangguan's house for the past few years. It's obvious that Chu Ze found out that I was looking for Zhang Jiucheng, so he showed up this time. Exchanging your ink scroll is just a way for him to attract our attention."

"We were looking for Zhang Jiucheng secretly, but he was able to find out so quickly. This also shows that he does not completely trust you, and his hidden power is indeed not to be underestimated."

Chu Heng's lips curled slightly: "In the royal family, there are only interests involved, where is the trust."

"Once we get that thing, we won't be able to keep Zhang Jiucheng anymore."

"I never thought of keeping this person. The Shangguan family keeps Zhang Jiucheng, and I don't know what they are thinking. Keeping him here would be a nuisance."

This reminded Cheng Jiuyuan. She thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Zhang Jiucheng is best at making fakes. Chu Ze keeps him. Is he making something?"

Chu Heng put down the cup and suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a favor?"

Seeing that he suddenly looked serious, Cheng Jiuyuan also put down the cup: "Your Highness, just ask, there is no need to ask for anything."

"My father has been poisoned."

Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't look surprised, Chu Heng asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

"Eight years ago, my uncle was going to pay tribute to Master for his detoxification pill. At that time, Mengzhou, who was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, was secretly sent to Gusu. At that time, I guessed that the emperor was poisoned."

"That time at the Huguo Temple, my master told me that the emperor was indeed poisoned. The poison..."

"My mother gave it to me."

Cheng Jiuyuan was silent, looking at Chu Heng with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"So, you want me to help your father detoxify?"

"Is it okay? Don't worry, except for my father, no one will know that you are Yan Guihong's apprentice."

"You arrange it."

"Let's do it today. His condition is getting worse. I'm afraid..."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up: "Let's go into the palace now."

Not to mention that he was the one begging her, at this critical juncture, Emperor Zhaolie must not get into any danger.

The Wei family has not been destroyed. If something happens to him now, the prince will most likely sit on the throne, and it will be a bloody storm.

Chu Heng didn't waste any time and took Cheng Jiuyuan directly into the palace.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Zhaolie had just returned from court.

Eunuch Quan came out and whispered to Chu Heng, "Normally, His Majesty would sit for at least half an hour during the morning court session. Today, he just couldn't hold on any longer, so he dismissed the court session early."

Chu Heng nodded slightly and took Cheng Jiuyuan into the inner hall.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Emperor Zhaolie. She hadn't seen him since the New Year's Eve dinner.

It was only half a year, but Emperor Zhaolie looked like he had aged ten years.

"Your Highness." Cheng Jiuyuan bowed slowly.

Emperor Zhaolie looked at the perfect couple standing together with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Jiuyuan sat on a chair nearby.

"It has been a year since I arranged your marriage, but the wedding date has not yet been set."

Chu Heng fell silent.

At that time, he just wanted to use their engagement to block Qi Zhen, the prince, Chu Ze and others from having any ideas about her.

But he was afraid that what he did would implicate her, so he didn't set a wedding date.

"Now, my health is getting worse day by day. I hope to see you get married before I die. This way, I will have an explanation when I see your mother."

"Father, the second Miss Cheng studied under a great doctor. She is very skilled in medicine. Let her take a look at you." Chu Heng said.

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Cheng Jiuyuan with disbelief, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I remember you were also a sickly person when you returned to the capital..."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have no choice. Let me take a look at you. Even if I can't detoxify you, I can alleviate some of your pain."

"The pill you took last night was given to me by Miss Cheng." Chu Heng advised.

"I remember now. Some time ago, there was a poisoning incident in your academy. At first, it was said that it was you who gave people random pills. Are you really a good doctor?" Emperor Zhaolie looked at Cheng Jiuyuan with interest.

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

"Then you try it." Emperor Zhaolie stretched out his wrist and said.

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly stepped forward to take Emperor Zhaolie's pulse.

Soon she withdrew her hand, and Chu Heng asked quickly: "How is it? Is there a solution?"

"It's been too long, the poison has penetrated deep into my lungs..." If Emperor Zhaolie had really taken the antidote pill seven years ago, he might have been able to completely detoxify himself.

Chu Heng's face turned pale instantly, but Emperor Zhaolie said indifferently: "I have already said that there is no antidote for this poison."

"No, the poison can be cured, but even if it is cured, it will only last for three or four years..."

Emperor Zhaolie smiled and said, "Three or four years is enough, enough."

Cheng Jiuyuan took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Emperor Zhaolie: "This is the detoxification pill. I will write a prescription to clear the remaining poison. Take the detoxification pill three days later, and then take this medicine. The poison will be completely cleared in half a month."

Emperor Zhaolie was shocked. Is the detoxification so simple?

"Who is Yan Guihong, the Judge of Life and Death, to you?"

"It's my master."

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Chu Heng. No wonder he suddenly agreed to the marriage. It seemed like he had found a treasure.

The literature comes from Jiang Miaoduan, and the medicine comes from Yan Guihong.

"I don't have much time left. I will ask the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious date for your wedding. If you work hard, I might even be able to have a grandson..."

"Father."

"It's settled. You guys can leave first and let Xiao Quanzi come in."

"My son, please retire."

"Your Majesty, please retire."

Chu Heng and the other person went out, and soon Eunuch Quan came in.

Seeing Emperor Zhaolie's smiling face, he asked, "Your Majesty, what are you so happy about?"

"Whose disciple do you think Cheng Jiuyuan is?"

"Mrs. Ling'an."

"Not only that, she is also Yan Guihong's disciple."

"Who? The Yan Guihong we've been looking for?"

Emperor Zhaolie nodded.

"Oh my! I am so blind. Your Majesty, there is a cure for your poison!"

The smile on Emperor Zhaolie's face faded a little, but he soon smiled again.

"Old Five has good taste. Go and ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day to get Old Five's job done. Such an outstanding girl is likely to attract people's attention."

"Yes."

……

Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan walked side by side towards the palace gate.

"What do you think about setting a wedding date?" Chu Heng asked.

"Your Highness doesn't want to get married?"

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows. How could she have such an illusion?

"I'm just afraid that you don't want to. If you don't want to, the Imperial Observatory belongs to me, and I can..."

"Then let him carefully choose a good day." After saying that, Cheng Jiuyuan strode forward.

Chu Heng was stunned on the spot.

Pick a good day?

Is she willing to do that?

Are you willing to marry him?

After reacting, Chu Heng's mouth corners curled up wildly.

"Yuan'er, wait for me!"
