"Master Zhan, family ties have always been restrictive about these things. You need to be more open-minded. Besides the Imperial Mausoleum and Beili, based on your understanding of the little girl, do you think she would make such a choice?"
"I understand what the dean means, but the weather is getting hot. Even if the body is preserved with medicine, it can only last for a month at most. It will take at least two or three months to leave Beili. The body will rot...how sad it is." Zhan Yi felt extremely distressed when he thought about the little baby's rotting body that could not be buried in peace.
"There should be ice storages in the rich places along the way. If we freeze the road, we should be able to survive until we get out of Beili."
"Where will we go after leaving Beili? Will the little girl be buried back in Nanyuan?"
"I will take her to a mountain range on the border. My master once lived there. It is a quiet paradise. The little girl likes quietness and she will definitely like it. It will also be convenient for Master Zhan to visit her in the future." Dean Chen began to plan as he walked out of the Longlin Hall.
"Okay, let's follow Dean Chen's arrangements." Zhan Yi said no more and still had to think about how to talk about this matter with his wife when he got back.
"The Qian family and the dean will escort Qian Ning together." Qian Fu said.
Dean Chen sighed upon hearing this: "The Qian family has quite a few members. You are making such a hasty decision."
"No one knows a son better than his father. I know my child's temperament very well. He can still make a living after leaving Beili. It just so happens that the eldest brother is a bodyguard. He can help a lot along the way."
"The journey is dangerous and the future is uncertain." Dean Chen sighed.
Qian Fu looked back at the palace, and saw the emperor's ruthlessness.
——
As the night deepened, the prefectural government office was brightly lit.
Sang Qi stood at the front, and behind her, eight concubines and the general's housekeeper and servants stood upright, and the sound of crying continued to be heard.
There were a lot of onlookers, and almost everyone was holding a petition in their hands, which detailed the cause of Ye Qianning's death and what happened in Sifang Mountain.
"How could Concubine Yuan be so cruel as to collude with Princess Dongyi to murder our Prince Beili?"
"Ever since entering the palace, the Imperial Concubine has been the most favored in the palace. She is even the Crown Prince's mother. How could she attack the insignificant Eighth Prince?"
"Who can predict the outcome of royal affairs? Dongyi must have given the imperial concubine a great benefit, otherwise she would not have taken such a risk."
"I also think that Miss Xiang's death was unjust. A six-year-old child dared to go to Sifang Mountain alone to rescue her. His courage and vision are not even as good as those of an adult."
"The child luckily escaped Dongyi and the wildfire set by the imperial concubine, but he still couldn't escape the clutches of his senior brother. What a pity."
"I heard that Yuan Yintang ordered the shooting without mercy, even including Minister Qian, Boss Gu, and Young Master Zhan. He was extremely arrogant."
"really?"
"Of course, my cousin is from the Grand Council. He was also transferred to Sifang Mountain. I happened to run into him on his way back and told him what happened. My cousin couldn't bear it at the time, but Yuan Yintang had the emperor's order to kill without mercy, so there was really nothing he could do. The young lady from the general's mansion pushed the eighth prince aside to block the arrow for him. She was so brave. What a pity."
"Oh, what a pity! General Xiang received the imperial edict to go and wipe out the bandits and hasn't returned yet. His child died tragically in Sifang Mountain. If General Xiang knew about this, he would have torn Yuan Yin Hall apart."
"What is Yuan Yintang? He is just a small figure in the martial arts sect. Isn't he just relying on his junior sister being a concubine to act tyrannically?"
“Too arrogant.”
The crowd was talking about it, and the more they talked, the angrier they became, and the more they felt that the young lady of the general's mansion had died unjustly.
"Severely punish Yuan Yintang and those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country—"
