Chapter 396: The End of Wen Jing
Not only the palace, but even outside the palace seemed a lot more desolate than before.
After all, with the medicine man from the Black Mountain Underground Palace in front of them, everyone was still frightened.
It was at this time that Feng Xuanyi announced the plan to hold a grand wedding for Feng Zhuohua and Jiang Ting. Xixia really needed a happy event to dilute the scars in everyone's hearts.
When the Empress Dowager passes away, it is a national mourning and one must observe three days of mourning.
However, an exception can be made if the marriage takes place within three months of the person's death.
Feng Xuanyi also didn't want to wait any longer, as he was worried that there would be changes in this marriage.
For this marriage, Feng Xuanyi specially granted Feng Zhuohua the Princess's Mansion, and for a while, she was the most popular person.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing had just received the invitation. Looking at the invitation, Su Chenyu showed a heavy expression on her face: "It seems that Feng Xuanyi feels that his time is up and can't wait to pave the way for Feng Shuyu."
Baili Yanqing closed the invitation: "The day of Feng Zhuohua's wedding will be when Feng Xuanqi will completely lose power. He is rushing to do it, so we should speed up our actions."
During this period, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing were not idle. They worked together with Feng Zhuohua to eliminate many of Feng Xuanqi's confidants. All the ministers in the court completely stood on Feng Zhuohua's side.
After all, the incriminating evidences found in Jinyanlou were their Achilles' heel.
Now, after abandoning Chang Yingying, the Chang family has been completely freed from the relationship between Feng Zhaolin and Feng Haojie, and has not been affected.
Feng Zhuohua fulfilled his promise to the Chang family, which made other officials in the court even more loyal to Feng Zhuohua. After all, everyone is afraid of being abandoned after the rabbit is dead. Feng Zhuohua is a trustworthy person, and they will never go wrong if they follow him.
“Feng Xuanqi still has some spies hiding deep in the palace. We can take this opportunity to eliminate them all.” Su Chenyu already had a plan in mind. When Feng Xuanqi becomes a truly lonely man, it will be his abyss of no return.
Feng Xuanzhen intended to complete the wedding before the Spring Festival, and mobilized a lot of his own manpower. As a result, the people who were exposed were slowly controlled by Yi Qingchen and Feng Zhuohua, and when Feng Xuanzhen was unaware, he was gradually sidelined.
Soon, it was the eve of Feng Zhuohua's wedding. She was getting married from the palace, so she still lived in the palace. When Jiang Ting came to pick her up the next day, she would go to the princess's mansion.
And that night, under the guidance of Qi Rui, Madam Cao met Feng Xuanqi alone.
When she left, she had a bottle of poison on her.
Qi Rui sent Madam Cao away and went back to report to Feng Xuanzhen. Feng Xuanzhen instructed: "After Madam Cao has taken action, you should deal with her as well."
"Yes." Qi Rui knew that Nanny Cao was ordered to poison Concubine Jia, and the news must never be spread out. Only the dead can keep the secret forever.
"Qi Rui, do you think I am too cruel?" Feng Xuan asked suddenly.
Qi Rui replied calmly, "Your Majesty, you showed mercy to the first, second, and fourth princes. At least they are all still alive. Now we are getting rid of Concubine Jia so that the fifth prince will not be corrupted by Concubine Jia in the future. With Princess Zhuohua and General Jiang Ting around, the fifth prince's throne can be secure."
"Yes, everything I do is for the country of Xixia." Feng Xuanyi coughed heavily twice. Qi Rui nervously went forward to check on him. Feng Xuanyi just waved his hand and said, "Go and do your thing. I don't need you here."
"I obey your command."
…
Jiapin was not on guard against Madam Cao. She drank the bowl of poisonous calming soup that Madam Cao brought her, and her eyes were full of resentment when she died.
Nanny Cao had been in the deep palace for so many years that she was used to seeing dead people. The last bit of tenderness in her heart was completely wiped out by Feng Shuyu's decision to ignore her and let her fall into the lake.
