"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Baili Qingluan collapsed on the couch as if he had lost all his energy.
"I'm fine. I'm going to sleep. You guys can leave now."
Madam Liang glanced at the buns on the table and asked, "Madam, these buns?"
“Throw it away!”
Baili Qingluan lay down for a long time before her body returned to the state it was in before Yu Chengxin came.
Fortunately, she only ate until she was 80% full last night. The meal she had just now would have really killed her!
Then he took out the osmanthus cake hidden under the couch and ate two bamboo tubes of osmanthus cake in one breath.
Wait for half a cup of tea and drink the medicine.
On the other side, Yu Chengxin fell asleep after being sent back to Tinglan Garden.
Dr. Meng, the military doctor of the Song family, rushed over upon hearing the news. Looking at the marks on Yu Chengxin's neck, he thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly reached out to feel his pulse.
"How is my wife? Is her life in danger?" Xi Liu felt anxious and uneasy when he saw that Yu Chengxin was still unconscious.
"Don't worry".
Doctor Meng withdrew his hand, took out a silver needle and gave Yu Chengxin a few injections.
Yu Chengxin woke up when the needle was withdrawn.
"Madam, you have an old injury. You must not get angry again, otherwise..."
"...I understand. Please prescribe the medicine." Yu Chengxin said weakly, still feeling frightened.
Baili Qingluan really wanted to kill her just now!
Xi Liu sent Doctor Meng away and came to the bedside. "Madam, this frightened me to death. Baili Qingluan clearly looked like she didn't have much time left, yet she still had the strength to hurt someone. Did Madam Liang secretly hide some food and send it to the dungeon?"
"Go call Green Willow over."
Soon, Green Willow trotted into the room, "Madam."
Xi Liu asked, "Did you see Madam Liang secretly giving food to that woman?"
"No, I'm watching closely. Even if Madam Liang wants to, she won't have the chance."
"Then why does she still have so much strength? My leg still hurts." Xiliu said while rubbing her leg.
Lvliu thought for a moment, "The day before yesterday at noon, the master hurriedly called the three servants over. The woman seemed to have died at that time. We had to work very hard to save her."
"What? Why don't you report it?"
Lvliu said embarrassedly, "It was the master who told us not to tell anyone, but I saw a red mark on the master's neck at the time. I think Baili Qingluan must have exerted himself the day before yesterday, just like today, which is why he died. He showed signs of death."
Xi Liu was delighted. "Madam, that person is already dying, and now she has exerted too much energy. It will take another hour to deliver the meal to her at noon. Without anyone to look after her, she must be dead."
Lvliu continued, "Yes, Madam, when we left, Baili Qingluan had already fainted on the couch, breathing very weakly."
Yu Chengxin felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "It's better for her to die like this! Send someone to find the master."
No matter whether he is dead or alive, Baili Qingluan will behave like a prisoner!
The atmosphere in the court was rather solemn at this time.
The ministers looked at Meng Gaoyang with eyes full of sympathy.
If the Cui family's cheating in the imperial examination had not been exposed, his Meng family would have been raising children for the Cui family without even realizing it.
They steal children and harm infants with extremely vicious intentions.
They all called on Emperor Qianyuan to severely punish the Cui family!
Qian Yuangan immediately issued an edict to announce to the world that the Cui family had committed cheating in the imperial examinations, smuggled iron ore, and disregarded the lives of others. All the officials involved in the case, including their nine clans, had their property confiscated and were exiled to a cold and bitter place.
The children of the Cui family and the children of more than 200 officials involved in the case were stripped of their official titles and fame, and their descendants were not allowed to return to Beijing or take the imperial examinations for a hundred years.
Cui Zheli and Cui Zhehan were sentenced to death and the execution will be carried out on a shorter date.
The old lady of the Cui family rejected the title. Except for the young children, all the other male and female family members were confiscated and exiled, and their mansions were confiscated!
The second prince was demoted to a commoner and was not allowed to return to the capital without any help.
Because Concubine Cui was pregnant, she was demoted to Concubine Shu.
Seeing that Emperor Qianyuan hadn't responded, the old sage king said, "Your Majesty, the Nankun spies' infiltration into Beiyizi is a serious matter. Please arrange for soldiers to strengthen the border defenses and send envoys to the Nankun royal family to give them a good lesson!"
Meng Gaoyang echoed: "I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
“…”
Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, be quiet. Now, who should we send to the border to strengthen defense?"
Song Linxiao stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to the southern border to strengthen the border defense."
"Your Majesty!" the old virtuous king said hurriedly, "The Song army is stationed in the western border. Although the Western Rong and our Beiyi have coexisted peacefully for many years due to the marriage between Baili Qingluan and the General Zhenbei's Mansion, the Western Rong are brave and warlike, and their ambitions are not small. They may invade at any time. I suggest recalling the old Protector of the Country, General Xiao, and arranging for General Xiao to lead his troops to the southern border to defend it."
Emperor Qianyuan pursed his lips and said, "Alright! I will immediately issue an urgent decree to summon the Xiao family back to the capital! It's getting late. If there is nothing else to report, I will leave the court."
"Your Majesty!" Song Heng glanced at Meng Gaoyang, the old virtuous king, and then stepped out. "Chen Xiong's confession, as well as the tens of thousands of tons of illegal salt stored at Feixia Waterfall, are all evidence that the Second Prince has framed the First Prince. The First Prince is innocent. The country cannot be without a crown prince for a single day. Your Majesty, please issue an order to recall the First Prince!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to recall the eldest prince."
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to recall the eldest prince."
“…”
The third and fourth princes were very sad to see that all the ministers were looking forward to the eldest prince's return to the capital.
Are they so disliked by the court officials?
Are their abilities really that poor?
It seems so!
The third prince stepped out and said, "Father, please call back our eldest brother. He is innocent. This son and I miss him..."
The Fourth Prince echoed, "Yes, Father, we all miss him..."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at the two of them and hoped that they were not pretending to be weak but really missed his eldest son!
