"The news that the Emperor had ordered the Wen family to be executed has spread. At first, we didn't know who leaked the information, but they covered up the fact that the Wen family had harmed you."

They only downplayed the seriousness of the matter, saying that Consort Wen had offended you, and that if you were unhappy, you should go to the palace and complain to the Emperor, who would then order the execution of the entire Wen family.

"The common people believe whatever they hear, regardless of whether it's true or false. Once the rumors spread, countless insults are directed at you, Princess."

The cursing only gradually subsided that afternoon when news spread from a restaurant called "Xiang Zailai" on South Street that the Wen family had harmed you.

Shang Changge: "Oh?"

Shang Changge became interested, wondering which kind person would step forward to clear her name when she had such a bad reputation.

Qingyao: "I sent someone to inquire again. The person who came back said that the one who came forward to clear your name that day was Miss Feng, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

The princess's residence has been busy with various matters for the past three days, and Qingyao is currently the only person Shang Changge can completely trust.

Many things require personal involvement, and I only learned about this around noon and sent someone to inquire.

Shang Changge quickly searched through the original owner's memories and found this Miss Feng. Upon discovering that she was within the sphere of potential acquaintances, she curled her lips into a smile:

"Really? Then Qingyao, please remember this for me. We'll find a suitable time to thank her properly another day."

It wouldn't be appropriate to thank him now; the old emperor is still angry because he failed to kill her.

Whoever gets close to her might incur the old emperor's wrath, but...

Shang Changge thought about it for a moment and figured that it was probably arranged by someone that Ms. Feng came forward to clarify things for her.

The initial negative news about her was clearly orchestrated by someone.

Moreover, it is very likely that this was at the behest of the old emperor; the officials in the court are all cunning old foxes.

After news broke that she had been assassinated near the capital, most people probably understood what had happened.

in this case,

Those who know what's good for them won't go against the old emperor; only the empress and her powerful maternal grandfather would send people to clear her name.

The most suitable candidate was Feng Yingrong, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

The Court of Judicial Review is responsible for investigating cases.

As the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, it was perfectly reasonable for Feng Yingrong to speak up for the princess.

Even the old emperor had no reason to find fault with him, and of course, the most important thing was that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was promoted by his powerful maternal grandfather.

Tsk!

Indeed, power is a good thing in any era.

"Oh, right."

Shang Changge suddenly remembered something very important, and placed the wolf-hair brush on the inkstone, instructing Qingyao to do so.

"Go to Mingxuan Palace and find those doctors. Bring over a few bottles of poison, and also bring over the antidote for each bottle."

Jing Xiuming is gone, but Mingxuan Palace still stands. The Princess's residence is so large, it's just sitting empty anyway.

Shang Changge then had the doctors who were originally crammed into the small courtyard of the mansion move there. These doctors were treated the same as the other servants in the mansion.

These were all packed up by the handsome younger brother from the Crown Prince's residence and given to the original owner of the body. She didn't know whether he was loyal or trustworthy before.

But now they are all certainly loyal and trustworthy, since if she dies, everyone in the mansion, including their families, will have to be buried with her.

Qingyao went to get them without saying a word, and soon returned with a bunch of bottles and jars.

Then the child's beautiful face lit up with excitement, and her tone revealed a mysteriously excited eagerness to try.

"Princess, who should we poison? Miss Yun?"

Although the Wen family took the blame, Qingyao stayed by Shang Changge's side.

Having heard and seen so much, I've come to understand some of the intricacies involved.

Shang Changge was momentarily speechless at Qingyao's reaction, and then he recalled Qinghe and Qingyu's corpses, which were tied with pink ribbons.

However, not forgetting the main point, he cleared his throat, adopted a serious and inscrutable demeanor, and began to spout convincing words:

"Qingyao, I've discovered that I seem to be immune to all poisons."

Qingyao: ………? ? ? ? ?
