A letter from the Northern Li state reached the Great Chu, stating that Princess Fengxi suffered from acclimatization issues in the Northern Li region, remained bedridden for a long time, and ultimately passed away despite medical treatment.
When Empress Dowager Wei saw the imperial letter, she was so angry that she smashed things in the palace.
What a cunning Northern Li!
When Wei Xuelin went to Beili before, Yinshuang was perfectly fine, and there was no sign of her being unaccustomed to the environment.
When Princess Yaolan died, the Great Chu Dynasty simply dealt with it as a sudden, violent death.
The Northern Li's actions can be considered an eye for an eye, so what can the Great Chu say?
Upon receiving the news, the Duke of Dingguo simply sighed and said nothing more.
Since Wei Yinshuang married into the Northern Li Kingdom, even if she died, she could only be buried as the Princess Consort of the Northern Li Kingdom. The Duke of Dingguo would not be able to bring her back for burial.
That's all there is to it.
Wei Xuelin was somewhat stunned when he learned that Wei Yingshuang was dead.
When Binyi Alliance returned his deposit, he had a bad feeling.
I never expected this day to come so soon.
Wei Xuelin knew he couldn't change anything, so he could only burn some paper money for his sister in the mansion.
Wei Xuebin was already in Bei Li, so he naturally knew about Wei Yingshuang's death earlier than Da Chu.
He was drinking in his own residence in Bei Li when he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his cup to the sky and said, "Yin Shuang, may you have a safe journey."
He then continued to indulge in pleasure with his concubines, paying no heed to his sister's death in a foreign land.
Wei Xuebin didn't even attend Wei Yinshuang's funeral.
Although Wei Yingshuang was the Princess Consort of Qin, the Prince of Qin's words, "Now is a critical moment for Bei Li, and it is not appropriate to have a grand funeral," destined that her funeral would not receive any attention.
On the day of Wei Yingshuang's burial, apart from the servants who buried her, no relatives or friends came to pay their respects.
The servants simply changed her clothes, put her in a coffin, and buried her in a random place, without even a single burial item.
The once stunningly beautiful Princess Fengxi has fallen.
As for Qingyun's disappearance, she was just an ordinary maid, so Prince Qin wouldn't pay too much attention to it. He simply told his servants to look for her, and whether they found her or not didn't matter.
Given Qingyun's status, it's impossible for her to have access to any of Bei Li's secrets, so there's no question of a leak.
Su Ruojin, who was in Liuzhou, was unaware of this matter. She was just lost in thought as she looked at the crazed mutant in front of her.
The mutant that Ye Xunzhi and Fu Linglong captured before, was killed by Ye Xunzhi in a fit of rage after Fu Linglong was attacked by the poisonous Gu worm.
Of course, research requires specimens, and Su Ruojin had Liu Jing catch another one for the experiment.
Following Fu Linglong's previous recipe, she added a little bit of Lixin Fruit powder, which only extended the time the mutant was frozen from a few breaths to the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
Although this is already quite good, it won't move even after half a cup of tea, while a child could cut off the mutant's head with a knife.
But Su Ruojin was still not satisfied; what she wanted was to force out the venomous worm.
This could potentially allow people who have been bitten by the Gu but have not yet mutated to return to normal.
Su Ruojin, Fu Linglong, and Aya studied the prescription together, while Yuan Hong and Su Jiu'an studied the art of emperors every day without interruption.
On the surface, things seem calm, but everyone knows that if a solution isn't found soon, the number of mutants will increase, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will become for both Xiaoyue and Jiuzhou.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Although Su Ruojin appeared calm and collected on the surface, Madam Su knew that she was a little anxious and was spending her nights searching for answers in the book on Gu poison.
As night fell, Su Ruojin was reading and drawing again when Madam Su brought her a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"Xiao Jin, have some porridge first and rest for a while."
Su Ruojin replied without looking up, "Mother, leave it for now, I'll drink it in a bit."
