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

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Bingyan got up and was about to leave the house for the morning court, when he saw a servant running over in a hurry to report.

It is said that Zhu had a sudden heart attack last night and is seriously ill and dying. He can only hold on for half a month at most.

He was just about to go to Jinhuaxuan and walked out of Qingsongyuan when he ran into his mother. "Mom."

Madam Su: "You should have received the news about Zhu's matter just now."

Su Bingyan nodded, "Yes, mother, the servant has come to report."

Madam Su: "It's enough for you to know. You can't delay the court session."

Su Bingyan understood instantly, "Don't worry, mother. I know what to do. She is willing to do this to save the face of the Xiangfu. That's good."

Madam Su: "You know what to do about external arrangements, so I don't need to say more."

Su Bingyan: "Of course, but Su Yi and Su Xu..."

Madam Su: "They have been in the Imperial Star Academy for the past few years and have not been involved in anything. If they are allowed to leave the Imperial Star Academy now, it will be meaningless and will only ruin their future. This is also what Zhu meant."

"Well, that's fine." Su Bingyan reminded again, "Mother, now that things have come to this, I think we should stop here and not stir up any more trouble. I turned a blind eye to what you did to Huan'er in the past, but not only did it not resolve the issue, it caused a lot of trouble. Huan'er is no longer the same person she was before, and I can't just turn a blind eye to it anymore."

"I understand what you mean. Okay, this matter has always been a dispute in the harem. It has nothing to do with you. Your reputation and career are the most important. You are the foundation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You should not interfere in these matters. Just spread the news during the morning court today."

"Yes, then my son will go first."

"Go."

Wait until Su Bingyan's figure walks away.

Nanny Xu, who was standing beside the old lady, said softly, "Old lady, the Prime Minister's words are very clear. No one is allowed to do anything to the eldest lady again. But once the lady dies, the eldest and second young masters..."

"Now that things have come to this, we can only take things one step at a time. No one expected Su Huan to turn the situation into what it is today." Madam Su said in a serious tone, "But Xuan'er will marry as Princess Jing, and Yi'er and Xu'er will also embark on official careers after graduating from the Imperial Star Academy. The competition in the future will be theirs, and it's time for me to withdraw and step back."

"Didn't the old lady promise Madam?"

"I promised her that I would take care of Xuan'er and her siblings, but if they want to fight Su Huan, I will not interfere."

Old Madam Su knew very well that the current situation was no longer under her control. If she did not extricate herself from it, once she was stuck in the mud, her reputation would be ruined.

Nanny Xu understood what was said, but she didn't say anything. She followed the old lady to Jinhuaxuan.

……

Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

After the morning court session ended, Su Bingyan was summoned by the emperor alone and accompanied him here.

Mo Lingtian sat in front of the dragon table and looked at the person standing in front of him. "My dear, your actions are quite quick. This way, we can finally have a conclusion."

Su Bingyan bowed his head and replied, "The root of this matter is my wife. If the news that she is seriously ill and dying is spread, the attention of everyone outside will be diverted, and the previous word of 'negligence' that was used to divert attention will also have a foothold."

"There may be rumors outside, but everyone will only focus on whether my wife is really dead. As long as my wife really dies of illness in half a month, this matter will be over, and no one will talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore."

Mo Lingtian: "That's great. My dear, you are my most trusted minister and my right-hand man. I don't want you to have any deviations."

Su Bingyan: "I understand your Majesty's intention. I will do my best to handle all matters well."

"Very good." Mo Lingtian said in a calm voice, then changed the subject and said, "My dear, do you think I made a mistake in remarrying Su Huan to Prince Ning?"

"Your Majesty has his own plans for what he does. Although I am your eldest daughter, I am still very different from before, but I am still just a woman. In front of Your Majesty, I am as insignificant as dust. Your Majesty does not need to take me seriously."

"If she had still promised her to Prince Ning as the rumor had said, it would have been feasible for both Prince Ning's test and the Shen family's. Unfortunately, Su Huan is now extremely talented." Mo Lingtian stared at Su Bingyan with cold eyes, "Not to mention, in this situation, she has played you guys around and forced you to abandon your second wife."

Su Bingyan's heart skipped a beat, and his mind was shaken. "Your Majesty is a wise man who rules the empire. My daughter has changed, but Prince Ning is already disabled. This is an unchangeable fact. Even though Prince Ning has a virtuous wife to help him, being disabled is not the same as before."

Mo Lingtian smiled and said, "The Shen family will soon return to the capital. I want to use the reputation of the old man of the Shen family to completely integrate the southern literati, celebrities, and students. My dear, please keep an eye on these things."

Su Bingyan bowed and saluted, "Yes, I will keep it in mind."

Mo Lingtian: "Alright, even though she is your second wife, she is still your wife. She is seriously ill and dying. You should take better care of her. Let's go back home first."

Su Bingyan: "Yes, I will take my leave."

……

Prime Minister’s Mansion, Lanyue Pavilion.

After getting up early, Su Huan sat at the dining table and had breakfast.

Listening to Nanny Xia and Yunshuang talking about the matter concerning the Zhu family that spread in the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning.

Nanny Xia asked doubtfully, "Miss, is Zhu really seriously ill and dying?"

Yun Shuang: "Yes, he was full of energy yesterday, and I have never heard that he has a heart disease. How could his heart disease explode and put his life in danger?"

Su Huan put down her bowl and chopsticks, and Yun Shuang helped her rinse her mouth. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, chuckled, and said, "Why do you think this happened?"

Nanny Xia and Yunshuang looked at each other, thinking back to what the young lady had said last night, that the Prime Minister was going to abandon Zhu. Could it be...

"Miss, the reason Zhu is like this is that she has been abandoned by the Prime Minister." Nanny Xia said bluntly.

Su Huan: "Once a person dies, everything is over. We can also use this as an excuse to divert all attention from the things happening outside. With her life, we can save the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and also protect her children. This is a good plan."

Yun Shuang: "Miss, what else should we do about this matter? Could it be that Zhu's death is just a cover to deal with the outside world?"

Su Hua: "You mean Zhu faked his own death and got away with it?"

Yunshuang: "Miss, is this possible?"

"Of course, it's impossible." Su Huan smiled coldly, stood up and said, "After all, she is my stepmother. She is about to die. We should go and take a look. Let's go."

Nanny Xia and Yunshuang agreed and followed the young lady out of Lanyuexuan.
