Prince Ping went to the palace. This matter had nothing to do with Prince Ping's mansion, but a coup was still a big deal. The entire capital seemed to be in a daze. The ministers were dumbfounded to find that Prince Cheng had suddenly staged a coup. Prince Cheng's coup failed, and the Yongchang Marquis's mansion was imprisoned.
Things happened so fast that most of the ministers thought they hadn't just taken a nap, but had accidentally slept for several days.
No, why did Prince Cheng suddenly stage a coup?
Yes, why the sudden coup? Of course, it's because Fei Qing had already reached out to Fu Yunhui. She was the one who told Fu Yunhui that Emperor Xuande knew about the Ten Kings Gu and had found someone who could cure it. She was also the one who told Fu Yunhui that the Crown Prince was slowly recovering...
As expected, that idiot Fu Yunhui couldn't hold back and directly forced the emperor to resign.
After all, if Emperor Xuande finds out that the Ten Kings Gu poison is related to him, he will definitely not have a good ending. It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Crown Prince has not yet been cured of the poison and simply force his way to the throne.
Panic gripped the Prince Cheng's residence, but Fei Qing paid no heed. She simply stayed home with the Prince Cheng's two legitimate sons, guarding their own courtyard and living their own lives while awaiting the final verdict.
If it is found that she was behind Fu Yunhui's coup, she will definitely not have a good ending, but even so, Fei Qing is in a very good mood now.
This is absolutely fantastic, hahaha!
It's a pity she couldn't watch Fu Yunhui and the Imperial Concubine die; it's a bit of a regret.
Two days later, the crowd surrounding Prince Cheng's mansion withdrew, and the women of the mansion were sent to the royal temple. Emperor Xuande finally softened his heart and did not keep the two children or demote them to commoners. Instead, they were both adopted out and would not be the sons of Fu Yunhui, the rebellious prince.
This is already very good for two children.
Jiang Xuelin waited until Fei Qing was about to go to the royal temple before going to see her.
It will be difficult to see her again in the future.
She also wanted to ask Fei Qing if he wanted to leave. She and Fu Han could go to the palace to plead for him, since they had almost saved the lives of Emperor Xuande and the Crown Prince. If it weren't for Fei Qing, they would never have known what the antidote for the Ten Kings Gu was. So it shouldn't be difficult to let Fei Qing leave.
It was the same courtyard, but now it was much more deserted, with only an old nanny and Fei Qing's personal maid from before she got married.
Fei Qing wore no makeup, and only had a silver hairpin in her hair.
Upon seeing Jiang Xuelin, the two servants left immediately and closed the door, leaving Fei Qing and Jiang Xuelin alone.
"Are you going somewhere else? I remember you were always curious about my life at the border?"
Fei Qing, who was fiddling with her prayer beads, opened her eyes. Her clear gaze fell on Jiang Xuelin, who looked worried, and she suddenly laughed.
"No, it's already an act of leniency from the Emperor to let me into the royal temple, considering my innocence."
She had initially thought she would be executed, given all the things she had done behind the scenes, but in the end…
Her sister Xue Lin had obviously covered everything up for her, so no one knew that she was behind Fu Yunhui's coup.
Therefore, she is now considered a meritorious person.
"But you have done well."
"I didn't. I did it for my own purposes, so it doesn't count as merit. We were just each pursuing our own goals."
Just like how she schemed against Jiang Xuelin back then.
So what if the ending is good? The fact remains that she schemed against Jiang Xuelin.
Jiang Xuelin rested her chin on her hand, looking genuinely confused.
The entire Yongchang Marquis family was executed, including Fei Qing's own brother. So what exactly was Fei Qing after?
That's how she got the question out of curiosity.
Why do you do these things?
Fei Qing looked down at the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, his voice calm, "My mother died when I was young. She didn't die of illness; she was murdered by the Fei family."
“My maternal family had no power. Fu Yunhui was only seven years old at the time. The Imperial Concubine had already planned to seize the throne. My mother could not provide any help, so she passed away. Fei Xinyang then married a woman of high status as his second wife.”
“My cousin’s wife was a very good person. She was the princess consort carefully chosen by the Imperial Concubine for Fu Yunhui. She was a perfect match in terms of both status and talent. However, her family has been involved in some things over the years and has declined a lot, so my cousin’s wife also died.”
"Next, they've got their eyes on you. The Marquis of Jing'an's mansion guards the border. The Marquis of Jing'an has an excellent relationship with the Emperor and enjoys his deep trust. His sons are all capable and hold military power. As the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion, she is naturally the best candidate."
Fei Qing counted the Buddha beans, slowly fiddling with them.
"Fu Yunhui deserves to die."
As Fei Qing said this, his voice suddenly turned cold. "He deserves to die! For him, they killed my mother. Because my cousin-in-law was useless, they let her die of illness. They even planned to marry me off to the Prince of Ping's family in exchange for the Prince of Ping's power. He deserves to die."
Everything she did was for Fu Yunhui, so she wanted Fu Yunhui dead.
He must die.
Jiang Xuelin was genuinely shocked, but after the initial shock, it didn't seem too unexpected.
She had always believed that Princess Chengjun had truly died of illness, and that Fei Qing's mother had also passed away from a long illness. But it turned out that it was all orchestrated? Jiang Xuelin, whose family was extremely harmonious both before and after her marriage, naturally wouldn't understand the infighting and manipulation within the inner quarters.
"Your older brother..."
“He knew. He was twelve when my mother passed away. He learned the truth not long after her death, but how could a man empathize with his own mother? He just accepted it and settled down to be the heir of the Yongchang Marquis’s mansion.”
Therefore, Fei Qing hated it.
They were all tools of these men, tools used by these men to help Fu Yunhui rise to power.
How can we face them if Fu Yunhui doesn't die?
"Why don't you go to the border, or to Jiangnan? Fu Ashou and I went to Jiangnan last time, and it was a good place." After frowning and thinking for a moment, Jiang Xuelin finally suggested.
Fei Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly threw away the Buddhist prayer beads and beans in his hand.
"I'm telling you, I didn't do anything, can't you hear me? Without me, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!"
Seeing Fei Qing suddenly come to life, Jiang Xuelin leaned back, avoiding her sudden outburst. "I heard it, I heard it. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. At least for the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, you have done good. As for your faults... they don't know."
Jiang Xuelin shrugged happily.
"Since they don't know, this mistake doesn't exist."
After saying this, Jiang Xuelin didn't wait for Fei Qing's response, got up and walked out, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll go to Jiangnan and find Fu Ashou to go to the palace."
Hey! I haven't said yes yet!
"Jiang Xuelin!"
They even started calling him by his full name.
But Jiang Xuelin didn't turn around.
Fei Qing watched Jiang Xuelin's figure disappear, then paused for a moment before suddenly covering her face.
"How come... you still forgave me..."
