Chapter 54 Don’t worry, she will never marry the War King
The War King's grip on Su Jixue's wrist tightened involuntarily, his heartbeat in his chest like a war drum. This was definitely not the look a daughter of a prime minister should have.
"Su Jixue, it's the king."
The War King spoke slowly. The woman in front of him had a fierce look in her eyes, but she was obviously out of focus, as if her previous action was just a conditioned reflex when she sensed danger approaching.
Just this one move made the War King confirm what he was thinking.
King of War?
Su Jixue finally came back to her senses. Her last memory before falling asleep was that Zhan Wang forced her to drink medicine, and then she vomited all over Zhan Wang.
At this moment, the jade hairpin in her hand was still against the War King's throat.
Something is wrong.
Su Jixue put her hand on her forehead and lay back down softly. She dropped the jade hairpin beside her pillow and closed her eyes. "Oh, my head hurts."
It was as if the War King didn't exist as long as she didn't open her eyes.
Therefore, she did not see that the War King's eyes looked at her with changing colors, and finally it was like a shooting star flashed across those cold eyes, blooming brilliantly, but then disappeared in a flash.
"Jinhuan, please ask Mr. Wu to come over and help Miss Su take her pulse." King Zhan gave the order again.
Jin Huan, who was waiting outside to be summoned at any time, was stunned: "Master, Master Wu just came."
"Miss Su wasn't awake just now." Zhan Wang took a deep breath and tried to speak as normally as possible: "She's awake now."
"Yes!" Jinhuan responded, but also increased the importance of Miss Su in her heart.
King Zhan personally helped Su Jixue lower the curtains hanging on both ends of the bedposts, but thinking that Old Wu would come over soon, he folded up half of it and hung it up again.
Looking at the woman's trembling eyelashes on the bed, Zhan Wang lowered his eyes and gently but forcefully helped Su Jixue tuck in the quilt bit by bit. He also felt that Su Jixue's body was becoming more and more tense, as if she was trying hard to resist the urge to attack him.
Ji Xue, you're back.
It should be you.
The War King's heart was trembling violently, and he didn't want to accept any result other than a positive answer.

Princess Mansion——
In the "Fengheyuan" where Lu Jing lived, the servants came and went, but they all moved very quietly and did not dare to make any noise.
Lu Jing's cries of pain could be heard from the main house from time to time, and the imperial doctors who had taken his pulse had come and gone a dozen times.
"What did the imperial physician say?!" Lu Jing clutched the sheets beneath him tightly, his body arched like a shrimp in pain. This long-lost pain brought him back to the tormented days after he was poisoned.
"Young Master, it is confirmed that it was the one you hit that broke your heart." Nanny Xu, the long-time attendant of the eldest princess, spoke.
"Where's mother? Didn't I tell Su Mingyue to come and treat this prince's illness? Where did they go?" Lu Jing's face was ferocious, and he no longer had the deep affection he had in the past when he mentioned Su Mingyue.
"The eldest princess has returned to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis has a high fever and is not feeling well, so the eldest princess has gone to take care of him!" Nanny Xu said respectfully. The eldest princess trusted her and specifically asked her to stay and look after the prince.
"Father has a high fever?!" Lu Jing, tortured by the poisoning, was filled with resentment: "Why did he get sick now instead of earlier or later?!"
Nanny Xu bowed her head and explained, "The Marquis had one of his arms cut off by Prince Zhan yesterday. He had a fever last night and fell unconscious today. The Princess first dealt with Second Miss Su's affairs before heading to the Marquis' Mansion."
"An arm was cut off?!" Lu Jing was shocked. Thinking of the ruthless killing of the War King in the North, cold sweat broke out on his back and he felt his stomach twitching even more violently: "How dare the War King not take the Marquis' Mansion seriously!"
"The eldest princess has returned to the Marquis' Mansion. After seeing the Marquis, she will go to the palace to seek justice for the Marquis and the Prince." Nanny Xu said to comfort Lu Jing.
"What's the point of entering the palace? Didn't he say today that he didn't respond to the emperor's orders?" Lu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "People like him shouldn't be alive!"
"Your Highness, be careful with your words!" Nanny Xu looked at the servants around her worriedly and said, "I will go find someone to urge the Su family."
"Yes, quickly ask the Su family to prepare the medicine, otherwise this prince will make them suffer!" Lu Jing suddenly remembered something and immediately ordered Aunt Xu, "Aunt Xu, quickly ask someone to go back to the Marquis's bedroom in the mansion and find a medicine bottle with snowflakes carved on it. Bring it over!"
"My lord, the princess has instructed that you should not take medicine without absolute assurance. You'd better wait until Miss Su prepares the medicine for you before taking it." Nanny Xu advised.
"By the time Su Mingyue prepared the medicine, this prince would have died of pain!" Lu Jing was furious when he mentioned Su Mingyue. Thinking carefully, if it weren't for Su Mingyue, he wouldn't have suffered such a great pain. He was now very sure that Su Jixue was the one who saved him.
Now, he seemed to have returned to the state where he was helpless and could only wait to die after being poisoned.
"Go find it for me quickly! That medicine bottle was given to me by Su Jixue before I went to war. All the people who were poisoned at the border died except me. It's probably because I took that pill at that time!" Lu Jing roared angrily.
The medicine bottle he asked Aunt Xu to find was the one Su Jixue had given to Lu Jing three years ago when she bid him farewell. She had repeatedly told him to take it if he was seriously injured or poisoned and in critical condition.
It is very useful at critical moments.
There were only three pills in the bottle. Lu Jing laughed at her for being stingy at the time, but Su Jixue said seriously that this medicine was more effective than the Dahuan Dan, and even the royal family might not have one.
But at that time, Lu Jing didn't believe it, and now he feels even more uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
"That medicine will definitely suppress the toxicity! Quick! Go get the medicine for this prince!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion——
A sneeze!
Su Mingyue kept sneezing and threw herself into Shen's arms, crying loudly, "Mother, Mingyue was so embarrassed today! On the way to the Wucheng Military Headquarters, I don't know how many people were talking about Mingyue. That Master Su even deliberately had his servants banging gongs and shouting as he walked!"
"Su Mo!" Shen gritted her teeth, hating Su Mo to the core. She patted Su Mingyue's back repeatedly, "My dear daughter, I'll definitely get revenge for you when I get the chance!"
"It's not just Su Mo. The people in the women's prison are also very bad. They stole Mingyue's clothes and jewelry, and beat Mingyue!" Su Mingyue cried and her whole body was shaking. Although it was only half a day, she felt like she was living a year.
"Mom will find someone to teach them a lesson to vent your anger!" Shen's heart was broken by Su Mingyue's crying.
"It's all Su Jixue's fault! It was Su Jixue who harmed me! Mingyue doesn't want to live anymore!" Su Mingyue cried until she was out of breath. No matter how bad she was, at best she just bullied Su Jixue at home, but Su Jixue actually caused her to go to jail.
"Don't worry, Su Jixue will definitely not have a good ending!" A cruel light flashed in Shen's eyes: "My dear daughter has suffered. Your grandmother has already made all the arrangements. Su Jixue will be ruined by then!"
"Really?" Su Mingyue's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying. "Didn't she say she was the future Princess Zhan? With the support of the Zhan Prince, who could do anything to her?"
"She's not worthy of being the Princess of Zhan!" Shen spat, confident in her decision, "Su Jixue is just a little bitch. Don't worry, she will never marry the Zhan Prince!"
