"Your Majesty has sent a jug of wine to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this time, the palace door was pushed open by a palace servant, who walked over with a pot of wine in his hand and said.

Mu Qianxiao glanced at the exquisite wine jug, then looked at the palace maid with a nervous expression.

Without saying a word, he picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

The wine has a bitter aroma and feels unpleasant when it enters the throat.

But soon Mu Qianxiao had no time to care about the taste of the wine. His consciousness gradually became blurred, and he felt a sudden cramp in his abdomen. Soon he completely lost consciousness.

After all, he was the crown prince of the current dynasty and had been the prince for so many years. It was impossible for the old emperor to order Mu Qianxiao to be pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded in public. He could only say to the outside world that he committed suicide out of guilt.

The death of a person brings the matter to an end, and Mu Qianxiao's death puts an end to the matter, and also silences the people's grievances and the mouths of the censors.

Everything happened so fast that no one in the Eastern Palace could react. With Mu Qianxiao's "suicide", their identities also changed.

"His Highness will be the crown prince until his death. If you want to stay in the palace, you can live in the East Palace. If you want to return to your mother's home, His Majesty will mercifully allow it." Zheng Yao gathered all the women in the East Palace and said.

Mu Qianxiao was already dead, and these people had no time to care whether she was still under house arrest.

In addition to Zheng Yao and Luo Fuying, there are several concubines in the Eastern Palace. Some are willing to continue staying in the Eastern Palace, while others are willing to return to their mother's home.

But everyone knows that this East Palace will be their cold palace in the future, and apart from here, they have nowhere else to go.

Zheng Yao dismissed everyone and left only Luo Fuying in the hall.

"I'm returning this to you. His Highness has passed away, and you have no chance to expose it." Zheng Yao handed a letter to Luo Fuying and said.

Luo Fuying was not surprised that Zheng Yao found the letter. He reached out to take it with a smile on his face, but the smile was a little bitter.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frame you, I just had to do it."

That was a letter written by Luo Fuying to Zheng Yao in the handwriting of the eldest princess, in an attempt to disguise the fact that the eldest princess wanted to poison and murder Mu Qianxiao through Zheng Yao.

Then she can take revenge on the eldest princess through Mu Qianxiao.

But she never thought that Mu Qianxiao would suddenly kill Xie Zhizhi, and he would also "commit suicide".

"Whether I did it intentionally or not is not important now. I will leave this East Palace today, and you can go find your way to survive."

Zheng Yao is now extremely grateful that her father had confronted Mu Qianxiao many times in the court before, allowing others to see that the Zheng family is not entirely dependent on the Eastern Palace, which allowed the Zheng family to survive at this time.

After watching Zheng Yao and the maid leave, Luo Fuying looked back at the East Palace. The palace, which was crowded with people just two days ago, was now silent.

Many palace maids left for other palaces, leaving only a few concubines who were unwilling to leave and their personal maids.

"Concubine, the Marquis has asked His Majesty to take you back to the Marquis' Mansion to recuperate."

At this time, a palace maid came forward and said.

Luo Fuying frowned and her hand unconsciously touched her belly. She was pregnant now, and the emperor actually allowed her to return to the Marquis' Mansion?

That’s right, the emperor could even kill Mu Qianxiao’s son at will, let alone her unborn child.

Just two days after I learned that Brother Yi was still alive, I was extremely surprised when Mu Qianxiao died again.

Although she did not have much romantic feelings for Mu Qianxiao, she was still alarmed. She was so frightened that as soon as Luo Fuying's carriage arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she felt an uncontrollable pain in her stomach.

The severe pain made Luo Fuying's eyes go dark and his consciousness became a little unclear.

All I heard was someone shouting something like 'Call a doctor, the concubine is bleeding'.

Because of Mu Qianxiao's death, some changes took place in the court and among the people.

But these changes do not affect Yun Yi's business and profitability.

After a month, their caravan earned the amount of silver they had expected before coming, but silver and money are things that no amount is too much.

Seeing that it was still early to return, Yun Yi decided to take the caravan further south to travel around the Jiangnan area, selling goods brought from the Western Regions and purchasing Jiangnan specialties.

If you want to keep your business going for a long time, you can't just be a middleman. You have to open stores and preferably make it a chain brand. This requires investigating the market, observing trends, and a series of other issues.

Of course, these cannot be accomplished in one breath, and must be done slowly and steadily.

The trip to Jiangnan took more than a month. In addition to making money, Yun Yi also observed market changes and planned to make a detailed plan after returning to Loulan.

Just the day before leaving Jiangnan, Yun Yi went to the tomb of his Yun family parents to pay his respects.

The Yun family's parents died in a fire, and it was Luo Fuying who dug their bodies out of the ruins and buried them.

"Brother Yi?"

Just as Yun Yi was about to leave after the memorial service, an urgent voice suddenly called him.

"Brother Yi, it's really you. It's great that you're still alive."

Luo Fuying ran to Yun Yi, tears streaming down her pretty little face.

With tears in her eyes, she was filled with joy. She excitedly reached out to touch Yun Yi. After touching his warm skin, she finally felt relieved.

"I heard someone come to pay tribute to my parents, I didn't expect it to be you."

Yun Yi nodded, "It's me, thank you for helping me bury them."

"Brother Yi?" Luo Fuying stared at Yun Yi without blinking, his joy fading to a full-hearted guilt. "It was me who killed my parents. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died at all."

"I must avenge my parents. Brother Yi, believe me, one day I will kill Mu Qing and let my parents rest in peace."

When Luo Fuying said this, there was a determination in her eyes that she herself was not aware of.

Yun Yi guessed that she must know what Lord Luo was going to do.

Yun Yi stayed in Shangjing City for a long time. In addition to planning the matter of Mu Qianxiao, he also got to know the situation in the capital, which naturally included the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to avenge your parents."

"Brother Yi, when you were in Beijing before... were you the one who kidnapped Xie Zhizhi? Why did it become Mu Qianxiao who killed Xie Zhizhi? What exactly happened?"

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Luo Fuying thought a lot.

If it was Mu Qianxiao who had kidnapped Xie Zhizhi, even if he fabricated a story about a man who had his family wiped out by the princess and was seeking revenge, he would never have known the name 'Yun Yi'.

So she guessed that the person who kidnapped Xie Zhizhi in the first place was Yun Yi.

I just don’t know what happened later. It turned out that Mu Qianxiao killed Xie Zhizhi and wanted to kill the eldest princess.

Yun Yi smiled and did not answer directly, but asked:

"Do you think...Mu Qianxiao is really dead?"
