Song Shuling's smug "fox spirit" will eventually become her death warrant.
She needs to prepare as soon as possible.
"Tell Shi Xu to prepare this amount of medicine. If it is not enough in the capital, then go to other places to purchase it."
Biluo accepted the order and left.
As it turned out, Jiang Wan's guess was correct.
On the third day after the servants in the courtyard were dismissed, Song Shuling came to the door with a group of palace guards and eunuchs.
Upon seeing the empty Xingzhi Courtyard, Song Shuling's expression twisted in disbelief.
She still remembered how disrespectful those lackeys were to her in order to protect Jiang Wan.
Unfortunately, if she had arrived a moment earlier, she would have skinned them alive.
However, upon seeing Jiang Wan all alone, he laughed triumphantly.
"I thought your dog was very loyal, but after only a few days of suffering, it has already betrayed its owner and run away?"
She wore a bright red long dress embroidered with begonias and gold, deliberately revealing half of a fox fur pattern on her back, her eyes half-closed, her expression arrogant.
This is what she's most proud of.
Adorned in gorgeous clothes and jewelry, Song Shuling's expression became even more sinister as she glared at Jiang Wan through gritted teeth.
"When you drugged me, you never imagined I'd have a chance to turn things around, did you?"
She would never forget the humiliation Jiang Wan had inflicted on her.
The strange looks from others were like a slow, agonizing torture, judging her licentiousness and shamelessness. She could only pretend to be unconscious, but in her heart she wished she could die on the spot.
At that moment, the hatred in her heart was overwhelming.
Song Shuling's face twisted in rage: "What goes around comes around. Now it's your turn to taste what it's like to be despised by everyone!"
Jiang Wan glanced at her: "So, what does Second Sister want to do to me?"
"Last night, a deity appeared to me in a dream, saying that a demon is hiding in the General's Mansion, and if it is not eliminated, it will surely bring chaos to the world!"
Song Shuling pointed at Jiang Wan and said sternly.
"Guards! Seize her!"
"Tomorrow, we will burn her as a sacrifice to ensure the peace and prosperity of our Great Yong for a hundred years!"
Song Shuling repeatedly claimed that Jiang Wan was a demon and that she should be killed as a sacrifice to the heavens.
When the news reached the palace, Emperor Jingyuan was dining at the Empress's residence, with Pei Xuan also at the table.
The Empress had witnessed Song Shuling's disgraceful behavior firsthand and had a very bad impression of her.
"Burning people alive? That's too cruel."
Emperor Jingyuan said, "But we cannot disbelieve what Lady Furui said."
The emperor was superstitious about gods and Buddhas, and everything he did was for the sake of the country and its people, leaving the empress helpless.
Pei Xuan put down his silver chopsticks and said slowly, "Father, don't forget that Lady Jiang donated all of her dowry to disaster victims. If she is executed like this, it will inevitably arouse the indignation of the people."
Emperor Jingyuan pondered for a moment and found this statement to be reasonable.
Pei Xuan observed his expression and continued.
"However, Mrs. Fury's words cannot be ignored."
"Why not drive the Jiang family out of the capital and move them into Hanshan Temple? With all the gods and Buddhas in the temple, no matter what kind of demons they may be, they can be suppressed."
Emperor Jingyuan nodded: "This can be considered a compromise. Let's do it this way."
