Chapter 194: The Emperor’s Punishment on the Fang Family

Xie Yingmian said, "After all, I can just dispose of that osmanthus sachet."

"If I had disposed of that osmanthus sachet, the Grand Princess wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster."

"The Fang family and Fang Yilin will not face punishment."

Yu Lingye looked at the vast expanse of snow in the distance and said calmly, "What happened to the Grand Princess has nothing to do with you. You are the victim."

"As for Fang Yilin, she brought this upon herself."

A smile appeared on Xie Yingmian's lips.

When Yu Lingye looked up, he happened to see Xie Yingmian smiling happily.

Her smile is like the soft red sunlight in winter, warm and powerful.

"Does my answer pass?" Yu Lingye asked.

Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows: "Why do you ask that?"

Yu Lingye just smiled and said nothing.

"Shall we have hot pot tonight?" he asked after a while.

It would have been better if Yu Lingye didn’t say anything.

As soon as Yu Lingye said this, her stomach started to growl.

On the Buddha's Birthday, one must chant sutras for two hours, and one cannot go to the toilet, drink water, or eat during the chanting.

In order to reduce the frequency of going to the toilet, she only ate two boiled eggs for breakfast.

At the vegetarian banquet, she only had time to eat a few bites of snacks before the eldest princess fell ill.

After being hungry for so long, she felt like she could eat a cow.

"Let's go, let's go." Xie Yingmian pushed the wheelchair up and flew away. "Let's go back and have some hot pot."

The other side.

After Shen Tingsi finished interrogating Fang Yilin, he blew a whistle.

The Eagle Envoy of the Six Punishments Department appears.

Shen Tingsi ordered his men to tie the letter to the eagle's legs.

After receiving the signal, the people from the Six Criminal Department went to Prince Ling's Mansion, Fang's family, the money shop, the embroidery room and other places to investigate.

Soon, the Eagle Messenger returned.

After Shen Tingsi obtained the key evidence and testimony, he organized the case into files and handed the case files and evidence and testimony to the emperor and the empress dowager respectively.

The emperor had already heard about what happened in Donghua Palace.

He breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the eldest princess's life was safe.

However, when he saw the case file sent by Shen Tingsi, he became furious.

"Fang Zhengtian, you really raised a good daughter."

"Your Fang family's daughter dared to do such a thing on Buddha's Birthday. The Fang family is really great."

"Okay, okay, very good."

"Your Fang family is very good."

Fang Zhengtian had no idea what had happened in Donghua Palace, nor did he know that Fang Yilin had caused such a disaster.

He shuddered when his name was called.

"Your Majesty, I have always been well-educated and well-mannered. I would certainly not do anything out of line on Buddha's Birthday. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? There's evidence and witnesses, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?" The emperor threw the case file directly to Fang Zhengtian, "Read it yourself."

After Fang Zhengtian read the contents of the case file clearly, he almost fainted.

There was only one thought in his mind, and that was it.

The Fang family is finished.

Fang Zhengtian didn't dare to beg for mercy. The emperor was very angry and the more he begged for mercy, the faster he would die.

He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "My daughter has been unruly and has committed a serious mistake. I admit my guilt and ask for your punishment, Your Majesty."

The emperor threw his sleeves heavily.

It was a good Buddha's Birthday, but Liao Qingshan appeared first and forced him to reveal the truth of the Dead Man's Ridge case.

Then Fang Yilin plotted to murder the Grand Princess, which almost made him a sinner of the Dayu Dynasty.

The emperor's anger reached its peak.

"Fang Zhengtian failed to educate his daughter strictly. All officials in the Fang family will be demoted two ranks and have their salaries confiscated for three years."

"Since Fang Yilin is here to replace Fang Zhang, I will strip Fang Zhang of her title of First Rank Imperial Consort."

"Fang Yilin was imprisoned and exiled to the northern border after three months, never to return to the capital."

Fang Zhengtian's face turned pale in an instant.

All officials in the Fang family were demoted two levels, which means that the highest official in the Fang family was only the fourth rank.

Fang Zhang is his mother.

His mother was in poor health and could not bear the prayers and soul-calling of the Buddha's Birthday Festival. Fang Yilin always pleased the old lady, so the old lady let Fang Yilin come in her place.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yilin caused a big mess.

Fang Zhengtian couldn't imagine how his mother would react when she learned that her imperial decree had been taken away.

And there is Fang Yilin, the rebellious girl.

Once the crimes of this rebellious girl are made known to the world, the Fang family will be drowned in the saliva of everyone in the world.

The marriage prospects of other children in the Fang family will also be affected.

Fang Zhengtian couldn't bear the huge blow and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"I didn't know my daughter would cause such a disaster. I failed to raise her properly, but Your Majesty, please spare the Fang family for the sake of the Grand Princess's life."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the Buddhist bell of Huangyun Temple rang.

The Buddhist bell will ring a total of 9981 times.

The emperor was going to ring the Buddhist bell for the last time, representing the return to unity.

The end of the Buddha bell also marks the end of the Buddha Bathing Festival.

The emperor didn't even look at Fang Zhengtian and led his men away.

Soon, Fang Zhengtian was the only one left in Nanhua Hall.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

In the empty hall, only his own voice echoed.

Fang Zhengtian sat on the ground for a long time before he regained his consciousness.

"No, the Fang family cannot fall into decline like this. Dowager Concubine, yes, Dowager Concubine, the Fang family still has Dowager Concubine."

"Go find Toffee."

"Toffee must have a way."

Fang Zhengtian seemed to have found his backbone and quickly got up.

…

When the Buddhist bell rang, Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The further down the mountain you go, the deeper the snow becomes.

When we arrived near the carriage, the snow was already seven or eight centimeters thick.

Fu Mo saw Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye coming and hurriedly jumped off the carriage.

"Prince, Princess, you are back."

"It's snowing really hard."

"If you continue to go down, the mountain may have to be closed."

As Fu Mo spoke, he picked up Yu Lingye's wheelchair.

"Princess, it's so cold and snowy. Do you want to have hot pot tonight? I think it's that spicy beef hot pot you made last time. It must be very refreshing in this weather."

Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "What a coincidence! The prince and I have discussed going back to eat hot pot."

Fu Mo's eyes lit up.

It’s not like he hasn’t eaten hot pot before.

However, the hot pot prepared by the princess is completely different from what we usually eat.

It's fragrant and spicy, and goes straight to the soul.

The meat is also very chewy after being sliced ​​into thin slices, with alternating fat and lean meat.

It’s so delicious to eat a pot of it in the middle of winter.

Fu Mo swallowed his saliva, leaned his wheelchair against the carriage, and lifted the curtain.

A stove was lit in the carriage.

As the curtain opened, warmth hit me.

Xie Yingmian was right next to Fu Mo, and when she felt this aura, her expression changed drastically.

She pulled Yu Lingye's wheelchair away as quickly as possible.

Fu Mo was not prepared and almost let go of his hand, causing Yu Lingye to fall.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Fu Mo asked.

Yu Lingye held onto the wheelchair's armrest to maintain his balance: "Is there a problem in the carriage?"

"It's poisonous." Xie Yingmian looked solemn.

Fu Mo's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Is there poison in the carriage?"

"I have never left the carriage, and no one has ever entered our carriage. Who could have poisoned me? Besides, I have been here for a long time and nothing happened."

Xie Yingmian said, "It can't be wrong."

"This poison is targeted at the Du'e Gu."

"Ordinary people can't detect any abnormalities, but the Du'e Gu can."

She looked at Yu Lingye: "Someone is trying to forcibly awaken your Deliverance Gu."
