Chapter 167 Putting Down the Stone in My Heart
But when he was really on the verge of death, the image of Empress Xian, wearing the emerald green dress, appeared before Fulin's eyes again.
At that time, she was just a small contractor, but after seeing him make a mistake and be beaten half to death, she gave him a bottle of gold medicine and a small ingot of silver, telling him not to lose heart and to live on bravely. As long as he survived, everything would turn around.
It was because of that medicine that he was able to survive that winter. It was also because of that encouragement that he was able to persevere step by step and become the most trusted person around the emperor.
Well, she lied to him, so let her lie.
Just think of it as repaying the kindness I showed you back then...
Wen Ling did not expect that Fulin would commit suicide. From her prediction just now, if Fulin did not commit suicide, the emperor would probably have thrown him into the Tianlao, locked him up for a period of time, and then exiled him to Ningguta.
He has a long life ahead of him. Even though he lives a poor life in Ningguta, he can at least live another ten years.
I didn't expect that he would choose to end his own life...
And when Wen Ling looked at him in surprise, he happened to see him turning back to the lantern before his death.
So this is what the friendship between him and Concubine Xian is like. Fulin is also a man of love and righteousness...
The emperor watched Fulin fall to the ground and slowly die. He didn't have time to say a word until Fulin finally closed his eyes.
Finally, the emperor turned around, flicked his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back.
He let out a long breath and said, "Take Fulin out and bury him according to the standards of a second-rank official. After all, we were master and servant, and he was loyal to me."
"Yes!" Gordon responded naturally, and then quickly asked someone to make arrangements.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely replace Folin in the future.
After the statue of the deity enshrined in the Yangxin Palace was found, it was burned to ashes.
The fifth prince, whose life had been kept alive by ginseng soup, died on the night the statue was taken out of the Yangxin Palace.
With the death of the fifth prince, Concubine Xian was imprisoned in the Sky Prison and executed quietly.
The sinful debt caused by Concubine Xian was also locked into the past of the deep palace along with the closure of the Yangxin Palace.
When the fifth prince was buried, Gu Chenran appeared at the scene.
Not only did he show up, he also sent the Fifth Prince on his way as an elder brother. Many of the burial objects in the Fifth Prince's tomb were prepared by Gu Chenran.
In Gu Chenran's words: "No matter what, he is innocent. He did not come to this world on his own initiative, and he has suffered for so many years, but has not enjoyed a few years of happiness.
At least he was serious when he called me brother when he was a child, so naturally I should see him off for the last time. “
Wen Ling personally performed a ritual to pray for the fifth prince's soul to be reborn.
After the prayer, she also went to find General Huo’s eldest son, who is the father of Xiao Cong and Xiao Hui.
After asking him about it, they learned that the Fifth Prince had been reincarnated ten years ago. In his next life, he was the second son of a scholarly family. Although he would not be rich, he would pass the imperial examination, be able to display his talents, seek revenge, and have a happy family.
Gu Chenran and the emperor felt a little relieved after knowing the news.
No matter what, this matter has a good outcome.
Not long after the fifth prince was buried, the New Year was finally over.
This year was indeed hard to describe, but Gu Chenran also felt relieved.
They now have only one goal left, which is to drive out the evil thoughts and finally destroy the God who rules the world.
Wen Ling became even busier after the Chinese New Year. Almost everyone in the capital knew that Wen Ling was an extremely powerful master. She was so capable that even the emperor had to be polite and courteous to her.
Even the rumors about Wen Ling were becoming more and more outrageous.
Wen Ling has three eyes, with an eye in the middle of his forehead. This eye can not only see ghosts and gods, but also distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
It is also said that Wen Ling has seven ears and can hear what people are thinking.
Some people also say that Wen Ling has boundless magical powers and can turn clouds into rain with just a flip of his hand.
In short, these rumors were so serious that even Wen Ling wanted to laugh when he heard them.
Therefore, the shop opened by Wen Ling on the streets of Beijing became even more popular.
After the New Year, Wen Ling had already expanded by buying up all the empty shops on both sides and connecting them up.
But despite this, many servants were hired to guard the house and maintain order at the entrance of the Wanshiwu.
As Wen Ling's magical powers increased, it became easier and easier for her to make various calming teas, beauty-enhancing teas, and so on.
In order to support her career, Gu Chenran also took over a workshop that specializes in making tea according to recipes.
After the tea is prepared, it is sent to the Wanshiwu, where Wen Ling injects spiritual energy into it, and the effect can be achieved exactly the same.
But even if Wen Ling could inject spiritual energy with a wave of her hand and make all the tea, she still wouldn't have time.
There was no way, there were just too many people queuing at the door.
Wen Ling is very busy, but enjoys it.
Because the things she encountered became more and more diverse and interesting.
One day, Wen Ling got up late. She grabbed a piece of cake and ran to the palace gate in a hurry to catch a carriage.
Gu Chenran was worried that Wen Ling was hungry, so he chased after her with a freshly baked meat and wheat pie and asked her to take it with her and eat it on the way.
As a result, in his haste, he forgot to pretend that he was "disabled in both legs" and just ran to the gate.
There were people coming and going on the street outside, it was the busiest time of the "morning rush hour", and many people outside saw Gu Chenran walking briskly.
Now, there is no point in pretending any longer.
It just so happened that my grandfather had returned from Jiangnan. He not only captured the salt inspector, but also brought back the 1.2 million taels of tax silver that had been embezzled. He was invited back to the court by the emperor and gained a firm foothold.
The most threatening third prince went to his mother's clan in Daxinganling to seek medical treatment and live there permanently.
The other princes are not very capable and will not pose a threat.
Gu Chenran simply took this opportunity to take off his disguise.
He walked to the court the next day and told the emperor: "Thanks to the thousand-year-old ginseng sent by my third brother, my leg disease was cured. After so many years, I can finally stand up and walk again."
The emperor looked at Gu Chenran's calm and composed appearance and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
He was of course happy that Gu Chenran's legs had recovered, but looking at Gu Chenran's appearance, why did he feel that... Gu Chenran's legs had actually recovered a long time ago?
The thousand-year-old ginseng of the Third Prince must have been stolen for nothing, right?
The truth is just as the emperor thought, but it is also a little different.
Because among the medicinal herbs that Wen Ling gave to remove the evil heart, there was indeed a thousand-year-old ginseng, which had never been found.
They were just thinking about how to ask the Third Prince for it, but then the opportunity came to them.
That would be like plucking feathers from a passing goose!
