All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Damn the summer cicadas.

The old emperor deserves to die too!

Xia Yuanan, deserves to die even more!

He originally wanted to save the dog emperor's life, but now it seems that there is no need.

He should be killed under a hail of arrows just like the 180,000 soldiers of the Xie family, so that he can vent his anger.

After being scolded, Xia Yongyan came out of the palace and returned to Lin'an Marquis Mansion.

In the Hou Mansion.

Lin Yu, who had always asked people to keep an eye on the movements in the Marquis's yard, was the first to receive the news that Marquis Lin'an had returned.

She dressed herself up, put on her favorite dress, put on her favorite jewelry, asked Lvliu to bring sweet soup, and prepared to go to comfort the Marquis.

Lvliu walked beside her and whispered, "Madam, the Marquis is not in a good mood. Should we go there later?"

The Marquis didn't like the lady in the first place.

I don't like it when I'm in a good mood, and I must be even more annoying when I'm in a bad mood.

For the sake of Lin Yu's dignity, Lvliu thought that now was not a good time to go there.

Lin Yu had a faint smile on his face.

"I know the Marquis is in a bad mood."

"My sister is gone, and he may never feel better."

When Lvliu heard what the lady said, she was completely stunned.

Madam is obviously trying to bring bad luck to the Marquis.

"lady……"

Lvliu took a few steps forward.

"Ma'am, please think twice."

If Lin Yu didn't go now and continued to pretend to be ignorant, pretending that she had not discovered the secret between Lord Xia and the queen in the palace, then she and Lord Xia might still be able to maintain a superficial relationship as husband and wife.

But if Lin Yu insisted on going, then the consequences...

Luliu didn't dare to think about it.

Even a noble queen could commit suicide, so a mere lady from a marquis's mansion, because she was too sad to hear the news of her sister's death, also chose to commit suicide.

Such an excuse is definitely plausible.

Lin Yu paused.

She looked back and looked at the green willows beside her.

"You mean, he will kill me?"

"Madam, I dare not..."

Lvliu has served Lin Yu for many years. She was originally placed by the queen beside Lin Yu to monitor him, but over the years she has been moved by Lin Yu's gentleness and kindness.

Now I am really thinking about Lin Yu wholeheartedly.

Lin Yu hates Xia Yongyan.

I also hate my elder sister who committed suicide.

She wrote a secret letter to the prince to complain, but the prince did not catch them and let them escape.

But what about in the end?

Didn't her good sister not survive last night? Did she die in the palace, in the high position that she had worked so hard to climb to?

Doesn’t this just prove the saying that what goes around comes around and no one can escape it?

Even if she is the queen who is high above everyone else, so what?

If you do something wrong to others, you will also suffer retribution.

Lin Rong’s retribution has come, so is Xia Yongyan’s retribution far away?

She was only 32 years old, in the prime of her life. She couldn't risk her life just for the sake of a momentary quick talk.

She hadn't found her daughter yet, and she hadn't gotten rid of that bitch Xia Yuanan yet...

Lin Yu thought about it and stopped moving forward.

He turned around and walked towards his own yard with Lvliu.

"Lvliu, have someone tell the Marquis that I'm leaving the Marquis' Mansion and returning to the Lin Mansion for a while."

"My sister the Queen has just passed away, and my brothers and sisters at home must be extremely sad. As a daughter, I have to go back and stay by my parents' side to show my filial piety."

Green Willow understood.

Her wife figured it out and listened to the advice.

Fortunately, Lin Yu figured it out.

If she couldn't figure it out at this time and insisted on provoking Xia Yongyan, then it wouldn't be long before the news of the Marquis' wife's death would spread in the Marquis' Mansion.

I can only say it’s a blessing, it’s really a blessing!

Xia Chan, who was outside the mansion, was unaware of the twists and turns going on inside the mansion.

The Queen has just passed away, and the whole Chang'an is in mourning for her.

Overnight, all the shops along the street were hung with white cloth and white lanterns.

All the red signs were taken down and temporarily moved to the rear.

All I saw was a sad white scene.

The usually bustling streets were now deserted.

In addition to the officers and soldiers who would patrol back and forth at irregular intervals every day to check if any house did not follow the rules, there were also several teams of imperial guards.

They were wearing armor and holding portraits, searching and comparing them on the streets.

Xia Chan took a quick glance from afar and discovered that the person in the portrait was none other than her.

This……

Did the people in the palace guess that she was the one who killed the queen?

No, she did not kill the queen, she just poisoned her. The one who actually killed the queen was the emperor who was high above.

Xia Chan figured it out and realized that he absolutely could not be blamed for something he had not done.

Otherwise, wouldn't she become the scapegoat?

Xia Chan nodded affirmatively, deciding not to be the scapegoat.

The Imperial Guards carried Xia Chan's portrait and conducted a carpet search throughout the city of Chang'an.

To put it in their slogan, they would dig three feet deep into the ground to catch the summer cicadas hiding in Chang'an City.

Xia Chan watched the aggressive search of each house, making everyone feel uneasy. She curled her lips and asked, "Who came up with this bad idea?"

Don't they know they can pretend?

To be honest, there is really no practical point in searching her in public like this.

Xia Chan secretly criticized the decision maker, wondering if he had eaten shit.

The next day, she heard the news.

The Xia family’s property was ransacked.

The brothers Xia Yongyan and Xia Yongsheng were arrested and thrown into prison. He and Lin committed suicide. The rest of the Xia family were either killed or injured.

Xia Yongyan and his brother will be executed at Caishikou soon.

The Xia family, which was in great favor just a few days ago, was raided and executed overnight?

Why doesn't anyone believe this?

But no matter whether others believe it or not, the Lin'an Marquis's mansion was indeed ransacked.

Not only the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, but also the Lin family, the Zhang family, and the Zhao family.

Anyone who was close to the prince or had any relationship with him as a relative had their property confiscated.

The apparent excuse was that they were relatives of Xia Chan, and since they could not catch Xia Chan, the death row prisoner, they would naturally punish the entire clan and target other people.

But those who knew the inside story knew that the old emperor was getting angrier and angrier because Lin Rong had cheated on him, so he wanted to kill a group of people to vent his anger.

The Daqing Dynasty was already in a precarious situation and was in danger.

The old emperor's act of killing so many people with a wave of his hand successfully aroused people's resistance.

In the capital, there are complaints everywhere.

In the fiefdoms of the vassal kings, some have already claimed that there are treacherous people around the emperor, and they are going to the capital to support the king.

Summer Cicada: ???

It has only been twenty days since Lin Rong's death, and the situation in Chang'an City has changed so drastically?

Is it true that no matter how things change, the general direction will not change?

When she first read the book, it was about the war in Daqing the year after the emperor's death.

Now the emperor is alive by chance and has cleared the poison in his body, but war is still inevitable...

Is this the legendary destiny that cannot be defied?
