Chapter 152: The Cold-blooded Governor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace 4
Wei Xuanzhi had many ways to prevent her from going out, such as having people from the East Factory surround her, or directly sealing off the yard.
But he was so cruel that he drugged her, a drug that made her completely unable to move.
This man is so scary. He even planned to make her sick and unable to go out.
There was no chance for her to escape at all.
And she didn't even know when he gave her the drug.
Fortunately, Qingyue was her good follower. After she "fell ill", she came to her every day to report the latest major events in the palace.
"Aunt, do you know that General Mu somehow found out about the case of the Gu family in Chuzhou that caused a sensation in the court back then? After more than 20 years, there is actually a new explanation."
"It is said that Prime Minister Li was one of the planners. He colluded with the governor of Chuzhou at that time to frame the Gu family and caused them to be wiped out..."
Yingsi closed her eyes, "I know this, I'll report it tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
the next day.
"Aunt, it was reported again today that General Mu has captured another foreigner from Chuzhou. That person was also one of the people who participated in the frame-up back then."
"That person also brought a daughter with him, and was captured by General Mu. He also said that he had a daughter working in the palace. Now everyone in the palace is speculating, and no one knows who it is..."
Yingsi's eyes widened: "Is that family's surname Fang?"
Qingyue was very excited: "Aunt is really amazing, she can even guess this!"
Yingsi curled her lips: What's so great about that? She is just the unlucky one.
This family is really haunting.
and many more!
Yingsi suddenly reacted.
"The person from outside the court who colluded with Prime Minister Li is the one with the surname Fang!"
"Yes, that man was really stupid. He came to the capital by himself. I heard that he came here specifically to look for his daughter who worked in the palace. Then he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for help, but was kicked out. He was eventually found and taken away by General Mu."
"I think they must have thought that no one would overturn the verdict after so many years, but they didn't expect God to open his eyes and pay them back now!"
Isn't that...
She and Wei Xuanzhi are enemies? ?
"Tongzi! Do you have to be so ridiculous?"
System: Automatically capture the plot, this is because the author left too many suspense~
Well... now that I think about it, it wasn't too much for him to stab her back then.
After all, his whole family died because of this!
If it were her, her resentment would definitely be deeper than his.
……
On the fifth day, Qingyue's final report came.
"The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have resumed investigating the Gu family case. The Emperor has also issued an order that the truth must be uncovered within half a month and an explanation must be given to all the wronged souls."
Yingsi's body gradually recovered.
There was no surprise to hear this result.
The original obstacle was whether the emperor would be willing to accept this mistake.
Although no one knows how Wei Xuanzhi negotiated with the emperor, the case has already had a result since he was certain that the Gu family could overturn the verdict.
So what about the rest.
What did he use to make the deal, and would the Li family let him go so easily?
She didn't know the answer because she was about to be sent out of the palace.
The queen seemed to have some tacit understanding with Wei Xuanzhi and was determined to send her away.
Although she didn't understand, the Queen said it was to save her life, so she didn't argue.
On the day she left the palace, the Queen still prepared a lot of valuables for her, including almost a carriage full of gold, silver and other treasures.
But this time it was different, the queen cried.
She said: "This is the last time I will send you off. Do not enter the palace again in the future."
Yingsi asked her what happened, but she just said: "Don't ask, the palace gate is as deep as the sea, and you are lucky to be able to get out alive."
Outside the palace, all news can only come from what the common people hear.
Yingsi found Jin Niangzi's residence. At that time, she was pardoned for her meritorious service in the Chuzhou corruption case, and Wei Xuanzhi also restored her status as a good woman.
With the help of Wei Xuanzhi's influence, she also opened a rouge shop.
Although the store is not big, it is enough for her to support herself.
Yingsi didn't know where to go, so she stayed at Jin Niangzi's house first.
Until one day, the news that the Li family’s property was confiscated and sealed off spread throughout the city.
After Jin Niang sent the guests away, she grabbed Yingsi and said, "It's fine that this official is greedy, but how could he harm the lives of an entire family? Even if the Li family is confiscated now, it can't avenge the lives of the entire Gu family..."
Yingsi couldn't help but think of the time in Chuzhou when she tried to test Wei Xuanzhi's attitude towards the Gu family.
At that time, under his numb face, I wonder if he would feel sad because he thought of his family.
He never lets anyone see his emotions, but to be able to do this, he must have paralyzed himself countless times, telling himself that he must survive first so that he can avenge his family one day.
Now that revenge has been taken, will he be happy?
The funny thing is that even Lady Jin knows that justice delayed is meaningless.
A few days later, Concubine Li was banished to the cold palace for the crime of harming other concubines.
It all seemed to be over.
It wasn't until a month later that the Mu family had a funeral.
Yingsi stood in front of the gate of the Mu Mansion for a long time. It was as if something hit her head. She felt dizzy and unbelievable.
The Queen is dead...
Why did she die?
In the original story, the queen was killed by people sent by the Li family, but now the Li family has been confiscated and no one can pose a threat to her.
Why did she still die...
She couldn't figure it out, so she took the token that the queen had given her and entered the general's mansion.
At that time, the entire Mu Mansion was in deathly silence.
Everyone was dressed in mourning and listlessly preparing for their work.
Yingsi's heart was beating fast as she was taken by the servant at the door to the mourning hall prepared by the Mu family for the queen.
According to etiquette, the queen's funeral should be held by the royal family, but the Mu family loved their daughter so much that they held one for her at home as well.
The Queen's spirit tablet was placed in the middle of the mourning hall.
[The spirit tablet of my beloved daughter Mu Yunxi]
Mu Yunxiao was standing in front of the spirit tablet in a daze, looking listless and pale.
"My Lord, Yingsi is here."
Hearing this, Mu Yunxiao turned around and looked at her with hatred in his eyes.
"You came."
Yingsi was puzzled, but at the moment she didn't want to ask him why he looked at her like that.
"Meet General Mu."
He snorted lightly, with a mocking look on his face:
"My brain is as bad as Yun Xi's, that's why I listened to you. It doesn't matter if I overthrow the Li family. She also lost her life. If I had known this would happen, I would have killed you at that time, and maybe there wouldn't be so many problems..."
After saying this, he laughed at himself again: "But my silly sister is so kind, how could she let me kill you..."
Yingsi pursed her lips and asked softly, "My Lady, why is it…"
He sneered at the sky and interrupted her: "Don't you know? Wei Xuanzhi is now the emperor's most trusted person."
"You two are really good at scheming..."
