My mother is good at both medicine and poison, and she is reborn to kill people

Mo Qianhan heard what the person in front of him said. He came here at this moment, of course, there is no need for him to deliberately avoid it, and he also answered very directly, "As the emperor said, this minister came here for this matter."

He looked at the person sitting in the upper seat and continued, "It has been some time since my brother, the emperor, granted me the marriage. Although the wedding date has not been set, according to etiquette, I should go to your house to propose marriage. I came here to ask for your instructions, mother."

Empress Dowager Lou's eyes fell on Mo Qianhan. His biological mother had passed away. Even if she was still alive, according to the rules and etiquette, she was the wife of the late emperor and also his offspring. The marriage matter should be decided by her, the stepmother. Mo Qianhan was a person who understood the rules.

"But have you already picked a date for the engagement?"

Mo Qianhan nodded and replied, "Yes, mother, the day after tomorrow is a suitable day, and I have also made some preparations."

Empress Dowager Lou smiled and said, "I rarely take care of outside affairs nowadays. In the past, Jingyao's affairs were all decided by the emperor. Matters such as marriage proposals were all handled by Jingyao himself. I only showed up on the wedding day. It's the same with you now. Since you have chosen a date, just go and do it."

Mo Lingtian sat there and followed his mother's words and said, "Since mother has spoken, then fourth brother, you should follow her orders. After your engagement ceremony is over, I will order the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites to choose a suitable wedding date for you as soon as possible."

Mo Qianhan: "Thank you, mother and brother."

Empress Dowager Lou fixed her eyes on Mo Qianhan's legs. "We are all family, so there is no need to say these polite words. You should not stay in your palace all the time. You are going to get married soon, so you should be happy."

Mo Qianhan: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I understand."

At this moment, Mo Jingyao, who was sitting next to him, said to Mo Qianhan, "Fourth brother, what mother said makes sense. Some things have become a foregone conclusion. It has been so many years. Fourth brother should let it go."

Mo Qianhan could tell that Mo Jingyao was talking about his disabled legs. He met Mo Jingyao's gaze with a cold look, and his tone was still calm and traceless, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother. As mother said, you should be happy after getting married. Besides, it is very good for the emperor to grant you a marriage. Miss Su, very good."

Mo Jingyao couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Su Xuan, who was sitting next to Mo Jingyao, noticed Prince Jing's expression. The look in her eyes when she looked at Prince Ning also changed. He was deliberately pointing at her. Because of what happened some time ago, she, the second young lady of the Su family who was once the most powerful in the capital, was completely suppressed by Su Huan.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Lou said, "Well, didn't you say that we should go to the Prime Minister's residence to perform the betrothal ceremony the day after tomorrow? If so, we should sort it out in the next two days and make sure nothing goes wrong. You have come to inform me, and I know what you mean, so you can leave now."

Mo Qianhan bowed and said, "Yes, mother. I will take my leave now." He then bowed to Mo Lingtian and ordered the palace servants behind him to push him out.

Several people sitting in the hall looked at Mo Qianhan's departing figure.

After coming back to her senses, Empress Dowager Lou looked at Mo Lingtian and asked, "What does the Emperor think of Prince Ning?"

Mo Lingtian: "It must be said that getting married is a very important step for a man. Su Huan is a good woman. She has made Old Four more energetic. Although he still looks a little weak and depressed, he is not as lifeless as before."

Empress Dowager Lou: "Your Majesty, what do you think will happen when Su Huan enters Prince Ning's mansion?"

Mo Lingtian: "Mother, I still say the same thing. The fourth child has disabled legs. For me, a disabled person, even if he marries a fairy, it will not change his current situation. The country has been under my control for many years. How can I allow others to stir up trouble under my Five Fingers Mountain?"

Empress Dowager Lou: "The Emperor is confident that he can control the overall situation. I don't need to worry about it."

Mo Lingtian: "Mother, just rest assured and enjoy your remaining years in the harem. I will take care of everything."

Empress Dowager Lou nodded but didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Mo Lingtian did not stay here for long as he still had government affairs to attend to. He bowed to his mother and left first.

Only Mo Jingyao and Su Xuan were left in the hall, chatting with Empress Dowager Lou.

At this time, Empress Dowager Lou looked at the couple and said, "By the way, Prince Ning said that he would go to the Prime Minister's residence the day after tomorrow to perform the betrothal ceremony. The day after tomorrow is the day when Jingyao and your princess return home."

Mo Jingyao: "Mother, the gift I will give when I bring Xuan'er back home will naturally not be inferior. He chose that day to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, and I am not afraid to compete with him."

Empress Dowager Lou: "You are married now, and you should know a lot of things. You don't need me and your brother to remind you all the time. You just need to know the limits. Besides, your brother is right. You can do whatever you want with Prince Ning in private, but don't be too deliberate in public, or you will be laughed at by others."

Mo Jingyao also knew that Mo Qianhan was the only prince among his father's sons who was crowned king for his military merits. Even his elder brother had to retreat under the brilliance of Mo Qianhan. It was really at that time that Mo Qianhan was not killed in the accident, but only lost his legs.

Empress Dowager Lou saw what her son was thinking at a glance, and immediately warned him sternly, "Remember, there are some things that you only need to know in your heart. Never say anything that shouldn't be said."

Mo Jingyao suddenly heard what his mother said, and he understood in his heart, and immediately responded: "Mother, I know."

Empress Dowager Lou said: "Today is your first day of marriage. Come to the palace to pay your respects to me and chat with me. Don't worry about other things."

Mo Jingyao and Su Xuan just agreed.

Su Xuan was sitting nearby, chatting and laughing with the Empress Dowager, but in her mind she was already thinking about the matters to be prepared for her return home the day after tomorrow.

Just as the prince said, when they return home, they will definitely not be suppressed by Prince Ning's proposal.

……

Over here, the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Lanyue Pavilion.

Su Huan was in her own courtyard when she heard a servant come in and tell her that Mo Qianhan would come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow.

She found it interesting. The day after tomorrow was not the day when Su Xuan and her family would return home, but they chose this day to propose marriage. Are they sure it was not intentional?

However, she had no objection to this. She guessed that originally, when Su Xuan and her family returned home, even though the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to keep Zhu's death a secret, Su Xuan and her family would still go to express their condolences. But that day Prince Ning came to propose marriage, so she guessed that the matter had to be kept secret, which made Su Xuan even more depressed.
