After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

"I've heard that Fourth Sister-in-law is very pretty, and now I see that she is indeed as good-looking as her reputation has been."

When Yun Ran saw Xiyu, his already bright eyes were filled with starlight. He then stood up, took a few steps forward and bowed to her.

"She is much inferior to Sister Yun Ran."

The two hit it off immediately, and Xiyu took her hand in return.

Afterwards, she bowed and greeted Concubine De, then sat down. She asked someone to bring up Song and the palace maid Yinghe, and told them in detail what the two had done.

"Most palace maids obey their masters. If they make a mistake, they will be dealt with accordingly."

When Concubine De heard the truth about the haunted incident, her expression was calm, as if she had already expected it.

But when the art of witchcraft came out of Xiyu's mouth, the look she gave Song was immediately filled with disgust and her eyes were cold.

Back then, her little Qi was almost killed by this magic of exorcism.

Defei moved her gaze to Xiyu and looked her over. Seeing that she didn't seem to be affected at all, she retracted her gaze and stared coldly at Song who was kneeling below her.

"Song's words and actions have crossed my bottom line. Not only did she play tricks, she also secretly used the most taboo technique in the palace, which offended others. Not only the East Three Houses cannot tolerate her, but the palace cannot tolerate her either. She was directly dragged to the Ministry of Punishment and told to serve her well."

Her tone was icy and decisive, without any emotion, and without the gentleness and consideration she showed in front of Kangxi.

As the mother-in-law and the head of a palace, Defei also has the power to assist in managing the six palaces together with the other three concubines. Naturally, she can give such an order.

This is also the reason why Xiyu brought people here.

"Why does she keep her face covered?"

Yun Ran listened to the conversation between the two as if he was listening to a story, and then asked curiously.

Xiyu thought of the smell she smelled last night and subconsciously pinched her handkerchief to cover her nose. "Her face was rotten and she looked a little scary."

"Rotten?" Yun Ranyishuang's tone was a little horrified, "Does it mean rotten literally?"

She nodded.

After seeing Defei's look, Jixiang stepped forward and took off the veil on Song's face.

There were some blood and yellowish pus on the veil.

Yun Ran was frightened by Song's festering face. He slowly covered his chest and looked away, "This is too scary. Women care most about their appearance."

After examining it calmly, Concubine De asked calmly, "Do you know what caused it?"

Seeing the expression on Song's face again, Xiyu almost vomited her breakfast. She took a sip of tea and explained:

"According to the imperial physician, Song's face was initially allergic to a pot of flowers in her bedroom. She developed a rash on her face that was itchy and uncomfortable. After scratching it with her fingernails, many red marks oozing blood were left. She then asked someone to prescribe some golden wound medicine.

But what's even more unfortunate is that the blood clotting agent and corydalis in the golden wound medicine repel and fuse with the flower in the pot, and the combination of the three will cause a person's mental breakdown and even madness. "

The whole process was too coincidental, so coincidental that it made people suspicious.

It’s related to flowers and plants… Concubine De calmed down a little and turned her gaze to Xiyu.

De Fei pinched the cup lid and gently pushed away the tea foam in the cup, as if casually saying, "I remember that you are very good at taking care of flowers and plants. His Majesty even asked you to help Yupin grow a pot of flowers. How is it now?"

When smart people deal with each other, they can understand each other's thoughts without having to speak too clearly.

My mother suspected that she was involved in this matter.

Xiyu did not answer her question, but put his hand on Chunshi's wrist, slowly stood up, bent his knees and knelt down, raised three fingers of his right hand to the side of his head, and said seriously:

"Mother, Song's face has nothing to do with me. If what you said is true, I will be bedridden for a long time, suffering from pain and eventually die of premature birth."

Her eyes were clear and bright, her tone was firm and resolute, and she proved her innocence without reservation.

Originally she just wanted to test it out, but Defei didn't expect that she would be so straightforward and courageous in facing her suspicion. A hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Yinzhen's daughter-in-law was born prematurely. I heard that she was often too weak to get up. She should be the one who hates being sick the most. How dare she make such a vicious oath...

After being in the palace for a long time, I actually like the straightforward personality of the fourth son's wife.

Why isn't my mother talking? What are you thinking about?

Yun Ran grabbed the handkerchief and saw that his fourth sister-in-law was still kneeling on the ground, feeling a little anxious.

"Mother, I think Fourth Sister-in-law is kind and friendly, and doesn't seem like someone who would do such a bad thing."

Seeing her daughter's anxious look, Concubine De shook her head secretly.

All of her children, one by one, like the fourth son's wife.

De Fei put down the teacup and smiled at Xi Yu. "Get up. I am only asking you about the flowers and plants. I do not suspect you."

After getting permission, Xiyu stood up and returned to his seat.

"Jixiang, just find a few young eunuchs to drag them away. Don't let them stay here and get in my way."

Facing the Song family, Concubine De was not in a good mood.

"Yes."

Jixiang received the order and took his men to drag the two away.

After sitting for a while, Xiyu also stood up and left.

"Be careful on the road, Fourth Sister-in-law. I'll come to visit you tomorrow." Yun Ran waved to her reluctantly.

The other person had already walked away, but she was still lying by the door looking around.

"Is the fourth son's wife so good that you two like her so much after just meeting her once?"

Defei couldn't bear to watch it anymore and asked.

"Don't you like it, mother?"

Yun Ran turned around and asked back, then smiled faintly, looking very playful, cute, lively and smart.

Concubine De glanced at her and said neither she liked nor disliked her.

The final outcome of the Song family's master and servant's death spread throughout the palace, and this haunted incident came to an end.

After hearing the news, Li stood in the yard and looked up at the sky for a long time.

No one knows what she is thinking.

"Although it's almost spring, there's still a chill in the wind. Please take care of yourself, Gege."

Feeling a warmth on her shoulder, she subconsciously looked back, then retracted her gaze and continued to look outside the wall.

Jiaobai looked in the direction she was looking, but saw nothing.

"You said... can I succeed?"

Li asked nonsensically.

Hearing this, her bright white eyes were full of doubts, "Although I don't know what you are asking, I believe that everything depends on human effort, and you will succeed."

"It's man-made."

Li murmured softly, but her voice was so light that it was quickly blown away by the wind.

It was not until the setting sun completely disappeared that the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She held the white hand across her cloak and said, "You are right. Everything depends on human effort."

The two returned to the bedroom, and Li took out a piece of paper from the drawer, sat upright, and wrote the letter stroke by stroke.

"I received a letter from home yesterday. Daddy said my mother was ill. I was very worried. Please help me deliver the letter to the person I sent you before at midnight today."

She carefully sealed the letter, handed it to Jiaobai and whispered, "I don't want to attract everyone's attention at this moment, so be careful when you go."

It seems that it was Princess Song's incident that left Princess with lingering fears.

Jiaobai felt pity and nodded in understanding, "Yes, I understand."
