Chapter 217: How did he feed her water?
Senior brother said that she couldn't drink water.
So, how did Yu Lingye feed her water?
Xie Yingmian almost immediately thought of a way to feed water.
In the dream, she was snatched from Leng Yuan.
Not only did she mess around with the cold source, but she also explored many places that should not have been explored in search of water.
so……
Xie Yingmian didn't dare to think further.
She was afraid that Yu Lingye would hold her responsible if she thought too much.
"Junior Sister, why did you suddenly develop a fever?" Doctor Cui asked in confusion. "Your pulse is normal, and there's nothing unusual about your physical condition. Giving you medicine and acupuncture are useless."
"When I was about to die of anxiety, your fever inexplicably subsided."
"I don't know either." Xie Yingmian pinched his brows, "I was fine before I went to bed, but I suddenly had a fever after I fell asleep."
She took her own pulse.
Indeed, the pulse is normal and there is nothing abnormal in the body.
Doctor Cui said, "No matter what, I'm glad you're okay. You've had a fever for three days and your body is in a lot of trouble. I'll make some medicine for you so you can rest for a while."
Doctor Cui’s footsteps were light.
However, when he passed by Yu Lingye, he still woke Yu Lingye up.
"Awake?" Yu Lingye's cold voice came.
"Awake." Xie Yingmian said.
Yu Lingye obviously didn't sleep well.
His hair was messy, his eyes were dark, and he looked gray.
Fortunately, he has a good appearance, so even if he looks haggard, it does not affect his appearance.
When Xie Yingmian saw Yu Lingye, she thought of that outrageous dream.
"I didn't expect that I would suddenly have a fever. Thank you for your hard work these three days."
Yu Lingye raised his eyes: "I'm glad to know."
Xie Yingmian: ...
This guy has the ability to kill a conversation with just one sentence.
"Is there anything to eat?" She changed the subject. "I'm so hungry now. I want to eat a cow."
Yu Lingye asked someone to bring in the food.
Xie Yingmian's eyes lit up.
If you have been hungry for too long, it is not suitable to eat too fast.
She picked up a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge and drank it slowly.
Yu Lingye said calmly, "I have some news. Do you want to hear it?"
Xie Yingmian responded vaguely.
Yu Lingye said, "The Dead Man's Ridge case has been closed."
"Qin Aoshuang is punished for multiple crimes. All titles and rewards will be revoked. She will be divorced from Xiao Kehan and will not be buried in the Xiao family's ancestral tomb. She will be executed by slow slicing on the first day of April."
"The Qin family cannot escape blame, but because Qin Aoshuang is a married woman, they will only be fined 100,000 taels of silver to be used to support the Longyuan Army."
"King Rui'an was stripped of his title of prince and beheaded after the first day of April. King Rui'an's family was exiled to the northern border, and his descendants were not allowed to return to the capital."
Xie Yingmian asked: "Why did you wait so long?"
Qin Aoshuang and King Ruian are both related to the person behind the scenes.
The longer you wait, the more things will change.
Yu Lingye explained, "The twelfth lunar month is close to the Chinese New Year, and the royal family has strict rules against the sight of blood."
"In the third month of spring, heaven and earth are both alive, and all things flourish. Give and do not kill, give and do not take, reward and do not punish. This is the response to the spring spirit."
"In order to conform to the spirit of spring, the royal family will avoid punishment in March."
"Therefore, the executions of Qin Aoshuang and King Rui'an were both scheduled for the first day of April."
"The Liao family's case was overturned, and Concubine Liao Shu was promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine, given a longevity tablet, and buried in the imperial mausoleum."
"Liao Qingshan was granted the title of Marquis of Zhaoyi, a hereditary title."
"Princess Lingxi was promoted to Princess Lingxi by exception, and General Longyuan bestowed upon her the title of King Longyuan, a hereditary title."
Xie Yingmian sighed.
Now that both the Xiao and Liao families are dead, who will inherit the throne?
The pie the emperor painted was ugly and unpalatable.
"If everyone is dead, what's the use of the title?" She couldn't help but complain.
Yu Lingye was silent for a moment, then said, "Xiao Kehan has a son."
"ah?"
"Xiao Qingyan gave birth to a son for him."
"ah!"
Yu Lingye said, "Xiao Kehan once had an unexpected night with Xiao Qingyan. That night, Xiao Qingyan became pregnant with that child. Xiao Kehan didn't know about this. He didn't even know that the woman he was with was Xiao Qingyan."
"After Xiao Kehan and Qin Aoshuang got engaged, Xiao Qingyan discovered that she was pregnant."
"Xiao Qingyan didn't want to ruin Xiao Kehan's marriage, so she ran away and gave birth to the child alone."
Xie Yingmian: ...
Xiao Kehan is a fool, and Xiao Qingyan has no mouth.
If Xiao Kehan was not so straightforward and observed the people around him more, it would not be difficult to find out that Xiao Qingyan was a woman.
If Xiao Qingyan had a mouth and could tell Xiao Kehan the truth, she wouldn't have to get pregnant and give birth to a child alone, and she wouldn't have contracted a serious illness.
If just one of them had changed, the outcome might have been different.
Difficult to comment.
"How do you know?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye: "After the Dead Man Ridge case was closed, Xiao Lingxi and Fu Fu came here."
"Xiao Qingyan informed Fufu of her son's hiding place. If the case of Dead Man's Ridge can be overturned, she asked Xiao Lingxi and Fufu to bring the child back."
"If the Dead Man Ridge case cannot be cleared up, Fu Fu will conceal the child's whereabouts. That child will never appear in Shangjing and will grow up as an ordinary citizen."
Xie Yingmian sighed.
As expected of Xiao Qingyan, she thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step.
Yu Lingye: "The verdicts for the Fang family and Fang Yilin have also been announced."
"It's different from the verdict at Huangyun Temple."
Xie Yingmian had no hope for Fang Yilin's verdict.
It is a fact that the Grand Princess is not in danger of her life.
Even if Fang Yilin had subjective malice, it did not cause irreversible consequences.
The emperor might impose severe punishment in anger.
However, the Fang family has Concubine Fang as their backer.
With the help of the Concubine Dowager, Fang Yilin will not be punished too severely.
Xie Yingmian asked, "What was the original verdict?"
Yu Lingye: "All officials of the Fang family will be demoted two ranks, their salaries confiscated for three years, and Fang Zhang's title of First Rank Imperial Consort will be stripped. Fang Yilin will be temporarily imprisoned and exiled to the northern border in three months."
Xie Yingmian: "What about now?"
Yu Lingye said, "Strip Fang Zhang of her first-rank imperial edict. All officials in the Fang family will be demoted one rank and fined three years' salary."
"Fang Yilin's exile to the northern border was replaced by a three-day parade in a prison cart."
Xie Yingmian narrowed her eyes and said, "I can't believe it. The Emperor is quite respectful to the Concubine Dowager."
Yu Lingye: "It was the Queen Mother who took action."
Xie Yingmian was puzzled.
The Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager are at odds with each other. Will the Queen Mother come forward to plead for the Fang family?
That's what she thought and asked.
Yu Lingye said, "The Queen Mother is not pleading for the Fang family."
"On the contrary, the Queen Mother is taking revenge on Mother."
"Fang Zhang, my grandmother, was a very mean and vain old lady. Taking away her imperial decree was like taking her life."
"Mrs. Fang Zhang has always favored sons over daughters. In her eyes, the daughters of the Fang family are worthless, even my mother is no exception."
"My mother was raised in that environment since she was a child. She was accustomed to unconditional obedience to the Zhang family and the Fang family."
"Fang Zhang has been deprived of her imperial edict. She will blame the crime on my mother and resent her."
Xie Yingmian: ...
He is worthy of being Yu Lingye, as he complains about his grandmother like this.
Xie Yingmian asked, "This was part of the Emperor's original sentence. The punishment was the Emperor's will. Why does Fang Zhang resent the Concubine Dowager?"
Yu Lingye: "That's the crux of the matter."
