Chapter 17 Right and Wrong Are Still Coming
That's why we need to let you know about this right away.
"Please forgive me, Princess." Qiu Xuan said.
"Why are you going out for no reason?"
The princess pondered for a moment and sighed, "Even if he doesn't leave the house, if my future son-in-law takes the mage away, the Yunyang Marquisate won't be immune from consequences."
As she spoke, she slammed the table again in anger: "If it weren't for those two evil people who bewitched the emperor and disrupted the government, everyone wouldn't be in such a precarious situation."
Qiu Xuan waited silently for the eldest princess to make a decision.
This matter, though minor, involved many other issues. The princess was right; Qiu Xuan was merely a pawn on the chessboard. If she didn't want to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, she would have to rely entirely on the player's mindset.
"No need to say anything," the princess said. "If Ji Zhuang comes looking for you, let Fei Fei deal with him. Don't come out."
"I'm afraid, Princess..."
"Those two witches are the culprits who destroyed your family. Remember, they won't let this go."
Qiu Xuan immediately understood what the eldest princess meant. She didn't want the witch to seize the opportunity and use the Qiu family to smear the queen and suppress Jiang Jue's influence in the court.
"Yes, Your Highness, Qiu Xuan understands." "You have always been clear-headed," the princess warned cautiously, "Go tell Ji Tiao to quickly fill the hole his brother has created."
She tapped the letter on the table. "This family is getting worse with each generation. They even hired a lobbyist to beg me for something like this."
She nodded at Qiu Xuan as she spoke, "Remember to give him a good beating. Don't be so naive and do him a favor for nothing."
"Your Highness is absolutely right."

On the return carriage, Qiuxuan felt much more relaxed.
The princess would not allow the sorcerers to use this as an excuse to attack the Northern Army. In the court, she would naturally suppress her opponents.
Moreover, in order for the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne smoothly, the Yunyang Marquisate, including her, will not be abandoned.
Fluttering...
Qiu Xuan's heart sank as she thought of her. The princess must have liked Feifei, but Feifei was probably only slightly better than the cats and dogs in her mansion; if anything went wrong, she would still be thrown out first.
"We can't let her work in vain..."
"What did Madam say?" Gan Tang asked curiously.
"I'm just thinking about something." Qiu Xuan said with a smile, "Should we go to the East Market?"
Gan Tang nodded vigorously, "You can smell the aroma too, right? It's freshly baked Hu pancakes."
"Hold it."
"Ma'am, whenever you went out, you always brought back delicious food."
"Madam, please let me go. I can run very fast. I have to bring some plums back for the princess, right?"
"The streets have been chaotic these past few days, don't run around." Qiu Xuan consoled him, "It will be fine in a few days."
In a few days, Feifei will be able to enjoy something better.
"Madam, is it because of those two imperial masters?" Gan Tang asked.
"Yes, they are arresting people randomly."
“Why not punish them?”
"This is very complicated. I will explain it to you slowly later."
If it weren't for the favor of His Majesty, how could the two fraudulent wizards cause such trouble?
Today, the sorcerer came to demand military power, and the second prince was with him.
Qiu Xuan looked solemn. The two witches and shamans wanted to support Jiang Jinhan?

Ji Zhuang lowered his eyes and looked at the subordinate lying at his feet. "No news yet. You don't want your other arm anymore?"
"Master, calm down," the subordinate reported, holding his severed hand. "We've already found out. The carriage from the Yunyang Marquis's residence was there that day. Why not capture them and interrogate them?"
"Idiot." Ji Zhuang kicked his subordinate in the nose.
Not to mention that the Yunyang Marquis Mansion is very popular now, even when it was an orphan and a widow in the past, it was not something that could be easily touched.
Power, power, so what if he and his sister are second only to each other? They still have to endure the barking mad dogs in the court.
However, if it doesn't work openly, he can do it secretly. He should also meet people and not let her forget her own weight.
Ji Zhuang smiled and said, "Let's go, it's a good time to stretch our muscles."
Ji Zhuang suddenly came to the door, but Jing Beian was not at home.
The news reached the old lady's bedside.
"Help me up, I'm going to see him." The old lady supported Qiuxuan's hand and sat up.
"Mother, you are still sick..." Jing Youzhen said worriedly.
"Who else would go?" The old lady glanced at her daughter. "Who would you show your sorrowful face to? I'm not dead yet."
Qiu Xuan followed up with an exhortation: "Mother, the eldest princess said that if the witch comes..."
"The eldest princess has no control over the Yunyang Marquis's family." The old lady said angrily.
The two of them had no choice but to help the old lady to the flower hall.
"Youzhen, go ahead," the old lady said, pushing Qiuxuan's way. "If you want to listen, go to the back."
Qiu Xuan had never seen a witch before, and she found it hard to believe that the obese man with one blind eye in front of her was the witch Zhuang.
It was this man, together with his sister, who caused the emperor to kill his first wife.
"Nangong Shao, long time no see."
Ji Zhuang stood in the middle of the flower hall, making the sick old lady look even thinner.
"Grand Master, what advice do you have for me?"
"A madman kidnapped my child yesterday. Did you see it clearly?"
Qiu Xuan felt sick when she heard the wizard under the shaman master calling her child.
"The Imperial Master is joking," said the old lady, "My eyesight is so bad that I can't see clearly."
"Then call all your maids and attendants," Ji Zhuang said angrily. "If anything happens to my child, I will make sure the Yunyang Marquisate is in great trouble."
"If someone is missing, we naturally have to report it to the authorities. Or the Imperial Master can wait for my second son to come back and ask him if he can send some people to help look for him."
"You don't want to say anything?"
Qi Zhuang's breathing was heavy, and even though Qiu Xuan was hiding behind him, she could still hear the buzzing sound coming from his throat.
"Please clarify, Imperial Master."
"Hmph." Ji Zhuang took a step forward and came in front of the old lady.
Qiu Xuan stepped forward nervously, not wanting to see Xi Zhuang staring at the old lady for a while, then smiled again.
"Nangong Shao, I want to clean up Yunyang Marquis Mansion, and there are many ways to do it."
After saying that, Ji Zhuang turned and left.
Qiu Xuan hurried out and found that the old lady's clothes were soaked with sweat.
"What's wrong with you, mother?"
The old lady held Qiuxuan's hand tightly.
"Did you hear what he said?" She sighed repeatedly. "They have secret techniques, they understand the power of yin and yang. The Empress was cursed to death by them..."
Where in the world does such a magical skill exist? If there is, why doesn’t the emperor let them take the head of the fake emperor of Nanchu from a distance?
"Why do you think they took the lives of thirty-six members of your family?" the old lady growled. "That was a sacrifice!"
As she spoke, she used her fingers to pry open her eyes for Qiu Xuan to see.
"See?"
The turbid white has filled the old lady's black pupils.
“That’s how powerful they are!”
As she spoke, she let go and slumped in the chair.
"This is fate. This is the fate they gave me. You can't escape it."
