As soon as the news that Princess Chaoyang was about to be executed came out, her mother Han Shuyi immediately knelt outside the Zi Zheng Hall and pleaded with Emperor Jing Zhao.

Emperor Jing Zhao thought that the year the fifth prince was murdered, Princess Chaoyang was less than ten years old, and she was so vicious at such a young age. Naturally, her mother Han Shuyi had "made an indelible contribution".

So he immediately issued an imperial decree to banish her to the cold palace and let her die there.

The queen had long been dissatisfied with this domineering princess, so she was naturally happy to see her executed.

The Fifth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian, died of depression the year after her son's death. Now she can finally rest in peace.

Su Yunling was summoned by Emperor Jing Zhao to perform acupuncture on him, and Su Zhaohong was waiting outside the palace.

When Su Zhaohong returned, he was still immersed in the shock that Princess Chaoyang would actually be sentenced to death.

After a while, he came back to his senses, as if he had thought of something, "Can you cure the world's strange poison?"

"Yes, Dad, do you want to try a cup of Hedinghong?" Su Yunling raised his eyebrows excitedly.

Su Zhaohong was furious, "Then can you cure your grandmother's snake venom?"

"Of course, but you didn't look for me! Dad... Grandmother is almost a pile of bones now, and you just remembered this? You are such a filial son!" Su Yunling did not hide the sarcasm in his tone.

Su Zhaohong was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "You...why didn't you say it at the time?"

Su Yunling crossed her chest with one hand and supported her chin with the other. "I thought my father was not very smart, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid! The old lady cursed me to die, and I still rushed to save her? Do I think I am too old?"

"You...you are a traitor!" Su Zhaohong cursed.

Su Yunling continued to nonchalantly poke at his lungs, "Dad, I finally understand why one of your daughters is a saint and the other is a county lady, but you are still a mere minister. Because you can't even judge the situation at the most basic level. The emperor wants to promote you, so why don't you give him a chance!"

Su Zhaohong was humiliated by his own daughter's ridicule, but he couldn't lose his temper in the palace. Even if he did, he couldn't control her and could only stare in anger.

"You...you are such a disobedient girl!"

"Isn't that all thanks to you? Everything has its consequences, and your retribution is... me." Su Yunling's sarcastic smile concealed a deep meaning.

"You really take after your mother, so disgusting!" Su Zhaohong gritted his teeth.

Su Yunling looked at him dimly, "If Dad dislikes my mom so much, why would he want to marry into the Xu family? Isn't it because he covets my grandparents' power and wants to use it as a ladder to climb the ladder? He wants both the benefits and his face. He is too greedy!"

"You...I am your father!! How can you be so rebellious and unfilial?"

Su Yunling smiled as she watched her old father getting so angry that he was fuming. She felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Now you know he's my father? What were you doing before? Without my mother, your life will end here. Don't be unconvinced, just wait and see!"

This old guy is timid and overly cautious. He is destined to never achieve anything great.

On the sixth day of the fifth month in the sixty-second year of the Great Yin Dynasty, Princess Chaoyang was sentenced to death for her heinous crimes.

When the poisoned wine was sent to Zaohua Palace, the princess, who had once been high and mighty, had become insane.

She struggled and resisted, and when she knocked the poisoned wine to the ground, she smiled a miserable smile of relief.

"Hahahaha... Father won't kill me. He loves me the most... You lowly people, don't even think about hurting me."

Just as Princess Chaoyang was laughing wildly, the three wolves she had raised were released.

These wolves had been hungry for five days, and they had long been accustomed to eating human flesh.

When Princess Chaoyang saw them, she was excited at first, but she soon realized that they were looking at her as if they were prey.

When she reacted and wanted to call for help, she found that all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace had disappeared.

The three hungry wolves pounced directly at her, their sharp fangs and claws digging deep into her flesh and blood vessels.

"Help...me--" He opened his mouth in fear, and a gurgling sound of blood foam came from his throat.

With her last breath left, she could feel the wolves eating her body. The pain of torn flesh and the despair of broken bones... finally made her die in fear.

Who would have thought that the noble Princess Chaoyang would end up being eaten by her own wolf?

Su Yueying originally wanted to use Princess Chaoyang to get rid of Su Yunling, but she had no idea that in the end Princess Chaoyang would be the one to be eliminated instead.

That was the apple of Emperor Jing Zhao's eye! How could she be sentenced to death?

Princess Chaoyang's death was her own destruction due to her many evil deeds.

Su Yunling used the predicted plot to release predictions to create public opinion, and through the two captured poisoners, he found the palace families who had been oppressed and abused by Princess Chaoyang, and asked them to take advantage of the situation to denounce the princess.

On the day the prophecy came true, Emperor Jing Zhao had already developed murderous intent under pressure from his court officials.

At this point, all we need to do is add a few more fuel to the fire to completely block the princess's way of survival.

To Su Yunling's surprise, news broke that the fifth prince was killed by Princess Chaoyang.

This was tantamount to severing the little remaining fatherly love Emperor Jing Zhao had for his daughter.

Su Yunling finally went up and threw out the evidence of Princess Chaoyang's lawlessness, which finally became the last straw that broke her hope of survival.

But if any one of these things were missing, she wouldn't have died so soon.

With lights on in every house and the moon shining brightly, Su Yunling, Linglan and her two bodyguard sisters were barbecuing in the courtyard of the county lady's mansion.

From within the wall of [You'ran Residence], there came the sound of sharp sword energy breaking through the air.

It was Xiao Ji Chen practicing sword under the moon.

Su Yunling climbed up the osmanthus tree in the yard and asked Linglan to pass her the roasted lamb.

She has excellent eyesight and can see her surroundings clearly even at night.

A long sword flew in Xiao Jichen's palm. His sword skills were as smooth as a snake emerging from a cave. The sword blade reflected silvery-white edges under the moonlight.

"Prince Junyang, would you like two skewers?"

After Xiao Ji Chen made a sword flower, he sheathed the sword and turned to look at the white figure sitting on the tree branch.

With only a hint of moonlight, he could only vaguely see her blurry outline.

"There's a lot of commotion outside, and County Lady Hemin is in a really good mood."

"Even if the sky falls, you have to eat first! The sky is big, the earth is big, but rice is the most important!" Su Yunling swung her feet, and the sizzling meat skewers overflowed with the aroma of meat between her lips and teeth.

Xiao Jichen curved his lips lightly: "Being able to eat is a blessing, but I don't know if Chaoyang can eat it down there after she lost to you."

"Isn't this also relying on the instigation of Prince Junyang? It was you, Prince, who arranged to expose Princess Chaoyang for killing the fifth prince, right?"

At first, Su Yunling didn't understand why Princess Chaoyang, who was so arrogant and domineering, would be afraid of Xiao Jichen for no reason.

It was obvious that Xiao Jichen had something on her.

And that handle should be the truth behind the fifth prince's death.

After a brief silence, Xiao Jichen smiled, "It is rumored that County Master Hemin has no talent or virtue. Obviously, the rumor is untrue. County Master Hemin is unparalleled in wisdom."

In fact, the day when Princess Chaoyang pushed the fifth prince into the water was the Queen Mother's birthday, and Xiao Jichen also followed Prince Su back to Shangjing to attend the palace banquet.

That day, Xiao Ji Chen had personally witnessed Princess Chaoyang running away from the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden in a panic, and the two of them bumped into each other.

Although she did not witness Princess Chaoyang committing the crime with her own eyes, she felt guilty and every time she saw Xiao Jichen, she would worry that he would mention to Emperor Jing Zhao that she had been to the lotus pond that day.

Xiao Ji Chen naturally guessed what happened to the Fifth Prince, and Princess Chaoyang was involved. During the investigation, he actually found the escaped eunuch.

Xiao Ji Chen originally planned to use this incident to hold Princess Chaoyang hostage for his own benefit, but after meeting Su Yunling, he realized that Su Yunling's role was greater than Princess Chaoyang.

So he decisively chose Su Yunling and helped her get rid of Princess Chaoyang.

"Princess Hemin, please regard this as the sincerity of my Su Palace's alliance with you..."
