Chapter 296: Tianxiangyu
The next day, Ling Feng looked at Hui Xiaopei with a calm face. No, from then on she no longer had the surname Hui. She changed back to her father's surname and should be called Jin Xiaopei.
The title of county princess was revoked, she was demoted to a commoner, and expelled from the capital, never to be allowed to return to the capital again.
The princess stared at Jin Xiaopei in shock. When Ling Feng was about to leave, she stood up and stopped him. "Guard Ling, Xiao Xiao... is what the imperial edict said true?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Of course, whether it was a Gu or a poison, there were eyewitnesses."
"Although there is insufficient evidence, she was responsible for the incident at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet hosted by the Queen."
"Moreover, the person who had been in frequent contact with her and intended to rebel has also been arrested. This can be said to be irrefutable evidence."
"According to reason, Jin Xiaopei participated in treason, so she should be imprisoned and executed, but Your Majesty, considering our blood relationship, has reduced her sentence to stripping her of her title and exiling her."
The eldest princess was confused and participated in the rebellion!
Looking at her calm daughter, the eldest princess felt like she was going crazy. "Xiaoxiao, you don't usually go out, how did you get to know that person?"
"And those few who wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion just to poison someone?"
"Xiao Xiao, why on earth?"
Jin Xiaopei smiled, "Why? Because they broke up our happy family."
"If it weren't for them, our family would have stayed together happily forever."
The eldest princess looked at her in astonishment, "Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father's crime will be discovered sooner or later."
"Do you know what mistake he made? In order to hide his identity, he destroyed his wife's family."
"Do you think the mistake he made can be forgiven?"
Jin Xiaopei said with red eyes: "Who knows whether these are true or false, they are not fabricated."
"I don't believe my father is that kind of person. He is gentle and polite. He has always treated you with respect and never went against your wishes. Why do you believe everything he says?"
The eldest princess looked at her disappointedly, "Xiaoxiao, you can't judge a person by appearance."
"Then tell me, why did the prince and his men plot against your father? He was just a minor official with an empty title but no real power."
"What's more, your father murdered the only child left by his wife in his hometown for money. Do you think he would be a good person?"
Huiyusi came back late, but after hearing the conversation between his mother and sister and reading the imperial edict, he knew what had happened.
"Xiao Xiao, you are not a child anymore, why did you fall for the trick just by provoking someone?"
"You read books every day, but where do you get them? Where is your brain?"
Ling Feng glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. We should pack up as soon as possible. Miss Jin needs to leave Kyoto before sunset today."
The eldest princess immediately went to clean up for her, as it was not long before the sun set.
Jin Xiaopei sat on the ground in a daze, and refused to get up no matter how much Hui Yusi pulled her.
Huius can only stay here.
"Did you catch An Xianhe?" Jin Xiaopei suddenly asked.
Ling Feng lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Yes, after he left you."
"Miss Jin probably doesn't know that An Xianhe is a descendant of the former King of Qin, and now he is active in various places under the name of restoration."
"The new religious cult that emerged in the north was created by him, and he even mixed it up with the foreign people."
Jin Xiaopei really didn't know. She only knew that An Xianhe was not a good person and seemed to be planning something, but she didn't know if it was a rebellion.
The next day, the news that Princess Hanpei was demoted to a commoner and expelled from Kyoto spread throughout Kyoto.
Every family was trying to figure out what crime this reclusive county lady had committed to be demoted to a commoner and expelled.
After learning about this, every family began to strictly check whether their children were causing trouble outside.
……
On the day of Tangtang and Tingting’s full moon, the emperor held a full moon banquet in the palace.
When the two children are one month old, it is time to offer jade plates to the ancestors.
Yuan Man had not yet finished her confinement, so she stayed in the mansion. Hui Chengyuan brought her three children and Grandma Liu and others into the palace.
Just as they were leaving, Yuan Jiu came to report, "Master, Tianxiang is dead."
Yuan Man suddenly opened his closed eyes and looked at her, "What's going on?"
"How did you die?"
Although Tianxiang didn't spend much time with her, they had been together for so long that it was impossible for him to ignore her death.
Yuan Jiu was silent for a while before saying, "Suicide. Doctor Pei has passed away."
Yuan Man stood up and said, "Take me over to have a look."
When Yuan Jiu saw the general, he quickly said, "Master, you are still in confinement."
"It's okay, just be careful about the wind. Besides, the sun is shining brightly today, so it's good to bask in the sun." After Yuan Man said this, he took a homemade hat and put it on, then tied a cloak and went out.
When she arrived at Tianxiang's room, Pei Qiu just came out. Seeing her coming, his brows moved slightly, "Master, you don't actually have to come over. I'll go over and report to you."
Yuanman glanced at him, walked past him and went into Tianxiang's room.
Yuan Jiu looked at him and said, "The master is very loyal. She came here to see Tianxiang."
Pei Qiu nodded and followed him in, only to see Yuan Man standing in front of Tianxiang's bed with his eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking.
Yuan Man looked at the pale person on the bed and asked in a low voice, "How did she die?"
Pei Qiu said: "She had a special physique. The poisonous insect mutated in her body, and she committed suicide because she couldn't bear the torture of the poisonous insect."
"This is the poisonous insect that I took out from her body. It is larger than an average adult insect. It must be Tianxiang's physique that made it grow faster, so she couldn't bear it."
"I have recently studied and analyzed all the books related to poison, including the one about the incense-eating insect. It describes the habits of this insect in detail, and it is impossible for it to grow this big."
Yuan Man closed his eyes and said, "Since there is something about the scent-eating insect, there must be a prescription for the cure."
Pei Qiu nodded, "Yes, but the medicine to cure the scent-eating insects is hard to find. So far, I have only found four kinds, and I am still short of two."
"I will go check on the other person who was poisoned."
Yuan Man glanced at Tian Xiang's head and neck and nodded, "Go ahead, and let me know if there is any result."
"Yuan Jiu, have someone prepare a coffin for Tianxiang, change his clothes, and bury him properly."
"Yes."
"Yes." The two answered in unison.
After Yuanman returned to his room, he sat at his desk in a daze.
This was the first time she had to face the departure of someone close to her, and it was really not a pleasant experience.
"Master." Pei Qiu shouted outside.
"Go ahead." Yuan Man said lightly.
Pei Qiu glanced at Yuan Jiu and said, "I have seen her and she is fine, but she has already reached the late stage. In half a month at most, she will lose her self-awareness and be completely controlled."
"And there are currently no clues about the two medicinal herbs."
Yuan Man asked, "Which two?"
Pei Qiu said: "Silver pods, snow-broken lotus."
