When rumors were swirling outside and undercurrents were surging, Situ Yuan's fragile body was repaired bit by bit with the help of Xie Ying.

Xie Ying also made a small improvement in her ability by relying on the wood essence extracted from the medicinal herbs.

Moreover, both the Princess's Mansion and the Xie Mansion next door are planted with a large number of flowers and trees, which is very beneficial for her to practice wood-related abilities.

She can absorb the wood energy emitted by flowers and trees to cultivate wood-related abilities, and the aura she emits during cultivation will also make these flowers and trees grow better.

But both of them were extremely cautious.

Xie Ying only helped Situ Yuan recover a little bit every day, so as to prevent him from recovering too quickly and arousing the suspicion of the three imperial doctors.

The three of them would take Situ Yuan's pulse at least twice a day, so Xie Ying couldn't be careless.

Despite this, Situ Yuan's condition improved day by day, which made the princess more and more convinced that Xie Ying was a lucky star.

However, just as Xie Ying was repairing Situ Yuan step by step, another big event happened in the capital.

Xie Ying heard the news at the Princess's Mansion.

Something big happened in Beijing!

Someone actually filed a complaint with the emperor and struck the drum at the palace gate to report the incident.

When the drums sounded, the entire court was shaken.

The person who beat the drum to appeal for justice was Qian Guang, a servant of the same age as Xie Yun.

According to the regulations, once the drum for petitioning was struck, the person beating the drum would be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, regardless of whether there was any injustice or not, and only after receiving the punishment could he or she appeal for justice.

If you are unlucky and can't make it to the end, and are beaten to death along the way, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

Of course, Qian Guang was lucky.

After the drum of denunciation was struck, Xie Yun got the news and rushed to the outside of the palace gate with his injured body still unhealed.

Afterwards, he personally watched Qian Guang being tortured. Although Qian Guang was beaten pale, he luckily survived.

After being tortured, he loudly cried out for justice in front of a crowd of onlookers, and told the story of a blood letter and a major corruption case of reselling government grain.

When he was covered in wounds and made those tearful accusations, it was like adding fuel to the fire in a boiling oil pan.

It instantly ignited the anger in the hearts of the people.

Afterwards, the news of the blood letter and the Qian Gaogao imperial petition quickly spread throughout the capital, and almost everyone in the teahouses and taverns was talking about Xie Yun and the blood letter.

It was only after Qian Gao submitted the imperial petition that they learned that Xie Yun had already written a memorial to Emperor Taihe to report the incident and presented the blood letter as evidence.

According to Qian Guang, he secretly hid the blood letter in the interlayer of the box, and put some local rituals in the box, and gave it to Xie Yun in the name of a gift.

Afterwards, he was worried about bringing trouble to Xie Yun, so he didn't dare to stay in Xie's house for long and left quickly.

He wanted to file a complaint with the emperor at that time, and the blood letter was only given to Xie Yun for safekeeping as evidence to prevent it from being destroyed.

After leaving Xie's residence, he knew that if he filed a complaint with the emperor, he would be in grave danger. To avoid any regrets, he visited several famous scenic spots in the capital and tasted the city's specialties.

Then he went to file a complaint with the emperor.

When he struck the drum to report the incident and saw Xie Yun rushing over, he realized that Xie Yun had already discovered the blood letter and had gone to the palace to present it to the emperor.

His Majesty also immediately sent the Black Kirin Guards to investigate.

So he could be said to have received a beating in vain.

When the common people heard about this, they all felt that although Qian Guang was a slave, he was very loyal and righteous. After his master's death, he risked his life to go to the capital to deliver a blood letter and file a complaint with the emperor. For this, he was beaten with fifty sticks and lost half his life.

It's really admirable.

After Xie Yun received the box, he was able to find the blood letter immediately, which shows that he is a cautious person.

He also wrote a memorial to the emperor without hesitation to denounce the accusations and redress the injustice done to his fellow comrades, showing his loyalty to the country and his great righteousness!

After this incident spread, the people in Beijing not only respected the loyal servant Qian Guang, but also admired Xie Yun. At the same time, they felt ashamed of themselves for believing those rumors and thought that Xie Yun was the unfaithful man in the story!
