The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 171 Magical Medicine
This heavy rain was not a midsummer shower, but it lasted all night.

Rainy nights in the past were very hypnotic, but this time Xie Tinglan rested very restlessly.

As soon as she opened her eyes the next day, Yuxiu rushed to her bed anxiously and said, "Miss! Something happened in the palace last night!"

Xie Tinglan's heart skipped a beat, Yuxiu's face was startled, and she said: "I heard early in the morning that the palace changed last night, and the British Duke joined forces with General Jinwu to conspire against the palace..."

Yuxiu gasped, and said: "Fortunately, the emperor was well prepared, the imperial army rescued him in time, and all the rebels were captured. Less than [-]% of the guards in the palace were killed or injured, and the emperor and all the ladies and princes in the palaces are safe."

Xie Tinglan rubbed the center of his brows and asked, "Has the rain stopped outside?"

"Not yet. It's still cloudy."

Xie Tinglan's room was lit with candles, Yuxiu looked at her with admiration and said, "Miss' intuition is really accurate."

Xie Tinglan couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere in the imperial city was oppressive, and there was almost no sound in the city. Even the bustling streets and streets on weekdays, no one opened their doors today.

The news of the palace change has obviously spread to the streets and alleys. Although the emperor is fine, the people don't want to frighten the emperor at this time, so it's better to be quiet.

After the rebels were captured, the emperor immediately ordered the confiscation of the British government and the imprisonment of all the Jiang family members.

But apart from a few relatives and the old British man, the British government has long since disappeared, and Jiang Cen obviously fled.

The emperor was furious, and ordered people to post arrest orders, blockade the gates of several nearby cities, and must arrest Jiang Cen and other escaped family members.

Within three days, another news came from Tongzhou.

The prince was ordered to suppress the bandits, but unexpectedly, a series of evidences were involved, and finally it was discovered that these bandits... were actually a group of soldiers.

Some people raise private soldiers and forge weapons in Tongzhou, intending to rebel!

Fortunately, it was discovered early that the crown prince had a group of tiger and wolf soldiers under his command. This group of private soldiers was beaten and fled in all directions, and they were all arrested in the end.

Jiang Cen, who was wanted before, and the rest of the Jiang family were also mixed in, and they were all taken into the capital in the end.

In less than a month, the rebel army was defeated. It was originally a huge gamble, but in the end it was completely defeated.

It is a great blessing that the Jiang family conspired against the three clans according to the law, and the rest of the clans were exiled and slaves were not implicated by the nine clans.

The Jiang family's family was almost tearful, thanking Emperor Yongchang for not killing them.

On the day the Jiang family beheaded, the palace servants sent poisoned wine, white silk and scissors to Concubine Jiang who was thrown into the cold palace.

The situation was over, Jiang Xu leaned slumped in the corner, the palace door was pushed open, and a ray of light shot in, she subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hands.

Seeing clearly the case in the hands of the palace man who came in, she showed no surprise on her face, and asked the palace man hoarsely: "How is King Qi?"

The person who came to deliver the things was Eunuch Zhao. He flicked his whisk and said expressionlessly: "The emperor ordered two copies of each of these things, and the other has already been sent to the clan's residence."

Jiang Xu opened his mouth wide, and after a while, let out a scream: "Impossible!"

She crazily crawled up to Eunuch Zhao, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and said, "King Qi is the emperor's own son! He doesn't know anything about Jiang's family, the emperor can't kill him! Eunuch! Rong'er is so cruel to Jiang." I really don’t know about the family affairs! I beg you to be merciful, let me meet His Majesty before I die, it doesn’t matter if I die, the emperor is really innocent!”

Jiang Xu was dumbfounded, this was different from what the Jiang family had told her before.

Father clearly told her that even if she lost, Rong'er would be fine, at most, she lost her life and Rong'er didn't have the Jiang family to rely on.

Her son is so outstanding, even if there is no Jiang family, he will definitely be able to aspire to the throne, and he will avenge her at that time.

Father clearly said that Rong'er would not be involved!

Eunuch Zhao backed away in disgust, dusted the hem of his clothes with a whisk, and said, "Your younger brother Jiang Cen confessed to His Majesty himself. The bandits who died in Tongzhou before were actually people sent by the Jiang family to help Fu Rong. They are the other accomplices in the land enclosure case. Fu Rong even knows about the existence of these people, how can he not know that your Jiang family intends to rebel?"

Jiang Xu's long eyelashes trembled, tears streaming down her face.

Eunuch Zhao asked the little eunuch who was behind the case to come forward and said, "Choose one yourself."

...

...

"The emperor has announced to the world that Fu Rong, a commoner, has committed suicide in the clan mansion. It can be regarded as giving him a face."

Xie Tinglan looked at Fang Jingyu who was sitting opposite, and said slowly, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Fang Jingyu's eyes were red, he stood up from the chair, knelt down in front of Xie Tinglan, and solemnly kowtowed to her.

"Thank you, Miss, for redressing my father and brother's grievances. What happened before... I was ignorant, and I caused a lot of trouble for Miss Xie and His Royal Highness..."

"I still say the same thing, since you have left Wei's house, don't go back. Your special status will cause me a lot of trouble."

Fang Jingyu clenched her fists, panicked in her heart, and said in a muffled voice, "I listen to Miss Xie."

"Get up."

Xie Tinglan didn't have the bad taste of making people kneel and talk, so he called Fang Jingyu to stand up and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Although my father was wronged, he did nothing in the Qingzhou case. It can only be regarded as a balance of merit and demerit. The magistrate's mansion was taken back by the emperor and gave me some pension money. I thought I should go back to Qingzhou first to repair the graves of my father and brother. As for the future..."

Fang Jingyu's eyes were full of confusion, he really didn't know where else he could go.

Fang Jingyu originally planned to settle the family affairs and go to Weifu to work when he returned to Qingzhou.

It's fine to be a servant, or if he has practiced martial arts before, he can also try to be a family guard or something.

Fang Jingyu doesn't have any big ambitions, now that his father and elder brother are both gone, he just wants to live a good life.

But now this road was also blocked because of offending Xie Tinglan, Fang Jingyu was downcast.

"There are many roads, let's see how you go." Xie Tinglan took a sip of the water in hand, and said, "The emperor will give you a lot of money. If you want to stay in Qingzhou, it will be convenient for you to take care of your father and your brother." Tomb, you can open a small shop in Qingzhou and learn how to run a shop. If you want to study, use the remaining money to find a gentleman, and it should be enough for you to take the imperial examination."

Although Fang Jingyu's temper was a little rough, she did help Xie Tinglan, and Xie Tinglan didn't mind showing him the way.

Fang Jingyu thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "I see. Thank you very much, girl."

"Fu Rong's matter has been resolved. I want to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible to clean up the tombs of my father and brother. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until His Highness returns to Beijing."

Fang Jingyu said seriously, "Miss Xie, please express my gratitude and apology to Your Highness on my behalf."

"I see."

Yuxiu sent Fang Jingyu out of Xie's mansion, and when she returned home, she thought about the past and felt regretful.

"My servant thought that Miss would match Fang Jingyu and Miss Biao."

Xie Tinglan's expression was delicate, "I'm not a matchmaker, why bother with this business? And Fang Jingyu is alone now, even if Xiaoxiao and I can fall in love with him, can my second uncle and second aunt agree? He's still a kid now, Whether there is any fate with Xiaoxiao, let's see what happens to him in the future."

Yuxiu smiled, "What I'm saying is, it's more important for Miss to pay attention to her own marriage."

Xie Tinglan blushed and coughed a few times.

The tense atmosphere in the capital lasted for several days, until the criminals of the Jiang family were beheaded, and those who should be exiled were also exiled, and things gradually calmed down.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Jiang family's affairs were dealt with, it was the Sheng family's turn.

Ji Fu, who was taken to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, refused to admit at first that Sheng Fuqing had concealed her marriage history and deceived others.

Later, when I heard Nanny Lu crying in prison and wanted to blame Sheng Mu for all the crimes, she accidentally slipped her mouth and revealed Sheng Mu's original plan to deal with Ji Fu.

Only then did Ji Fu rein in the precipice, not only changed her words, but also told the Ministry of Punishment where Ji Shu's birth certificate registered in the Yamen was hidden.

The witnesses and material evidence were all complete, and Sheng Fuqing was sentenced to be beheaded directly.

Mother Sheng saw her son being dragged away from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and she fainted from crying. When she woke up, Sheng Fuqing's head had fallen to the ground.

Ji Shu returned to Xie's mansion, told her what happened these days, and said: "Sheng Zhao went crazy after hearing that the execution was over, and cursed me and my mother all the time in prison. My mother and I Not long after leaving, I heard that she was killed in prison."

Ji Fu sat on the side, looking haggard.

These days of torture made her physically and mentally exhausted. Although she had fully seen the true faces of her mother-in-law and husband when she was in prison, she was still dizzy and dizzy if she had to accept her husband's tragic death immediately.

When she first learned of Sheng Shi's death, she almost blurted out that she wanted to collect the corpses for Sheng Shi and Sheng Fuqing.

It was Ji Shu's words that dispelled her idea.

Ji Shu told her that if Xie Tinglan hadn't appeared, she might have died in the red building, and Ji Fu would have died on the night of her wedding with Zhao Jianye.

At that time, the mother and son of the Sheng family will not collect their bodies.

With Ji Fu gone, it may take her a long time to digest the shadow of the Sheng family's mother and son, but she is glad that she did not fall into it.

Yuxiu served a cup of tea to the mother and daughter, and asked in a gentle voice, "Does Mrs. Ji have any plans for the future?"

Ji Fu thought for a while, then said in a soft voice: "I have been helping the embroidery workshop in the city to make embroidery products. The lady boss of the embroidery workshop is very optimistic about my embroidery products, and always wants to ask me to help, but at that time the Sheng family We are not allowed to have much contact with people in Beijing... I have been secretly dealing with them, occasionally doing one or two things. Now I want to help out."

Ji Shu wanted to stay in Xie's mansion to be Xie Tinglan's maid, but it was not good for the mother and daughter to be in the mansion together, Ji Fu's slow temper was not as clever as other nuns of the same age.

She is good at embroidery, and she wants to do what she wanted to do before instead of dawdling in Xie's house with her daughter's glory.

Xie Tinglan felt very good, "Now that there are no shackles on your body, you mother and daughter can do whatever you want."

Ji Shu wanted to stay, and Xie Tinglan had no objection. It happened that after Zhong Ling left, Yuxiu was the only one beside her who was busy.

And she thinks that Ji Shu is very clever, which suits her heart.

The mother and daughter had just returned from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xie Tinglan didn't stay with them for too long, and told them to go back to rest after a few words.

Yuxiu stepped forward to refill a glass of water for Xie Tinglan, and said with a smile: "Finally, all these troublesome things are gone. Miss can take a good rest for a while!"

Xie Tinglan frowned and nodded slowly.

"Miss."

Shen Jiu suddenly appeared behind the screen, he lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has something to report."

Yuxiu put down the teapot, turned around to the door and closed it, and dismissed the maid outside.

"Come in and talk."

Shen Jiu walked over the screen to the inside, and said, "This subordinate has been paying attention to the Ministry of Punishment for the past few days, and heard something is wrong."

"Miss, do you still remember Zhao Jianye, the son of the Zheng family in Lianhua Village who was arrested in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Xie Tinglan rolled his eyes and remembered, "The dude who sold Ji Shu into the brothel? What's wrong with him?"

"Miss, I don't know, Zhao Jianye died in prison."

Xie Tinglan was startled, "How could it be? The officials of the Ministry of Punishments wouldn't serve such a big punishment. Besides, I remember that this person is weak, and he should be recruited if he can't bear much punishment. How could..."

"The Ministry of Punishment has not executed the sentence. What the subordinate said is wrong is about Zhao Jianye's death."

Shen Jiu looked solemn, "I heard from the guards in the prison that Zhao Jianye pleaded guilty not long after he was arrested. Because the rebels and Sheng Fuqing were involved first, his sentence has not been finalized, so he I was locked up all the time. It was fine for the first few days, but then I went crazy for some reason..."

"When I went crazy, I kept rolling on the ground, scratching my body, hitting the wall, and shouting... what do I want... magic medicine."

Xie Tinglan understood within a few words.

She held her breath and exhaled, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she murmured: "I never thought I could have this kind of harvest..."

Shen Jiu didn't hear what she said clearly, and continued: "The adults of the Ministry of Punishment may also think this is weird, so they suppressed it and didn't spread it. Qian Lizheng and Mrs. Li Zheng were both arrested. The Ministry of Punishment may be I want to know what the 'magic medicine' is from the two of them."

"Whether there is any conclusion, I don't know for the time being. This subordinate just felt weird, so I came to report to Miss."

Xie Tinglan nodded again and again, "Good job. You also go to investigate with the Criminal Department, see who the Zheng family has contacted there, and find out the origin of this medicine."

"Yes."

Into the night
Xie Tinglan had just finished his dinner and was blowing some air on the porch when someone came in from outside the courtyard.

Xie Tinglan took a closer look and realized it was the housekeeper. She shook her fan and said with a smile, "It's already this hour, what is the housekeeper doing here?"

Butler Cao bowed with a smile, and said, "Greetings to Missy. The master has something to do, please Missy go to the front hall to talk about it."

Xie Tinglan nodded after thinking about it, asked Yuxiu to bring her a coat, tidied it up a bit before going to the front yard.

It wasn't until we got to the front hall that Wei Shi, Xie Shuhui, and several other people from Xie's residence were also there.

"Father."

"Come on, sit down." Xie Boming pointed at the armchair beside him and signaled Xie Tinglan to sit down.

When he was rarely such a loving father, he even said a few nonsense words about caring for Xie Tinglan, which made Xie Tinglan unintentionally agree with him, and even gave a hello without hesitation.

"Why did my father come to me, let's just say it, it's getting late now."

Xie Boming touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

The old man Xie who was sitting next to him said: "Actually, your mother should have told you. I still want to pick up your grandmother and ask for your opinion."
