Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"Your Highness." Tao Xi's voice was very hoarse. Last night she rushed back to Yaohua Garden and suddenly found that the princess had passed away. The grief in her heart burst out of her throat. She cried all night and her voice was almost broken.

Wen Yuan pulled her hand over with concern and put the heater in her hand.

"You must be frozen, Nuannuan."

Tao Xi pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face.

Wen Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped her face: "Taoxi, you've worked hard. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to see Xingyao for the last time."

"My Lady, it's all Taoxi's fault. I ran too slowly."

Taoxi sobbed and blamed herself, thinking that the imperial concubine was comforting her.

When she ran back, Yaohua Garden was empty and it was impossible for the two ladies to meet.

It is difficult to leave the palace. Ever since Wen Yuan was named a noble concubine, it has been difficult to see her.

Wen Yuan didn't explain too much, wiped Tao Xi's face and said:

"Don't worry, I will take care of Xingyao's revenge. I will make those who commit crimes pay the price."

Tao Xi nodded desperately and bent down to thank the imperial concubine for her kindness.

Wen Yuan supported her: "Taoxi, these are what I should do. It's me who should thank you."

Xiaoying chimed in, "Sister Taoxi, some matters are left to the Empress. We should just serve the Master peacefully."

Tao Xi nodded vigorously in gratitude.

"Taoxi, I have something to ask you."

"Please speak, Madam. Tao Xi will certainly tell you everything she knows."

"Who is Madam Li from the small kitchen close to?"

Tao Xi thought for a moment and said:

"I've never heard of that. I only know that Madam Li has a sick son at home. She lives frugally and takes all her wages home to treat her son's illness."

"Sick child." Wen Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that some things make sense.

"Xiaoying, take Taoxi to find the imperial physician and bandage her feet."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I want to keep vigil for the princess." Tao Xi shook her head.

Wen Yuan touched her red and swollen eyelids and said, "Be obedient and take care of yourself. There are still tough battles to fight."

Although Tao Xi didn't understand what the Imperial Concubine said, she nodded vigorously and obediently: "Your Majesty, if you need me, I will do my best to help you."

"Silly girl, live well, you won't die."

Xiaoying took Taoxi to find the imperial physician, and Wen Yuan came to the coffin to see Ji Xingyao.

Behind her is a perpetually burning lamp, and under the perpetually burning lamp is Su Jinyun.

A gust of wind blew through the hall, causing the flames to shake violently. Su Jinyun hurriedly straightened up and held the flames with both hands, as the flames were dying.

The flames danced in her palm, licking the tender flesh.

Su Jinyun gritted her teeth and dared not move until the noise of the draft passed, then she let go of her hand.

Wen Yuan was standing and Su Jinyun was kneeling. The shadow cast by the eternal lamp weighed a thousand pounds on Su Jinyun.

She didn't dare to look up, and even her breathing was very low.

So what she didn't know was that Wen Yuan was looking at her openly at this moment.

Her noble air that looked down upon the world was natural, and looking at her was like looking at a mayfly.

In feudal society, higher-ranking officials could crush people to death. Wen Yuan didn't even need to do anything to crush Su Jinyun to death.

She has too many ways to kill Su Jinyun.

However, death is not to be feared. Wen Yuan wants to play slowly. Let Su Jinyun gradually lose what she has worked so hard to obtain. This is much more satisfying than death.

After a long time, Xiaoying came to report that the person sent by the prefect to Lijia Village had returned.

Wen Yuan looked deeply at Ji Xingyao's remains.

She knew this was the last look.

Wen Yuan: [System.]

System: [Host, I am here.]

Wen Yuan: [Can we do a 3D scan of Xingyao's body?]

System: [Yes, host, is it so that when you miss Ji Xingyao, you can call up her 3D scan image at any time to ease your longing? The affection between the two hosts truly touches this system.]

Wen Yuan: [No, her body was so scary, as thin as a mummy, what's there to miss?]

System: [...Hehe...Hehe, how embarrassing! It turns out this system was just being sentimental.]

Wen Yuan: [Just a reminder, Xingyao's body will completely disappear in five days. If she hasn't been buried by then, we'll need to put the 3D color print model inside.]

System: [Ah... Oh, that's right. I almost forgot. Once the host dies in this world, she will turn into water vapor and evaporate within five days.]

Wen Yuan once rolled her eyes at this stupid setting. It was like a system that was going crazy, afraid that others would not notice that they were different from ordinary people.

Ji Xingyao was a princess, so her funeral was grand and could last as short as five days or as long as half a month.

If the corpse disappeared in public, it would surely cause a sensation.

Wen Yuan could imagine that by then, rumors like the evil concubine would bring disaster to the country and be extremely evil would be flying everywhere.

As Ji Xingyao's good friend, she would not be able to remain unscathed if she was used by someone with ulterior motives.

Spit can drown a person.

Wen Yuan: [System, I fixed the loophole for you, shouldn't you give me a reward?]

System: [Wow, host, you were waiting for me here. Well, in principle, it's okay, as long as it's not too excessive.]

Wen Yuan: [Okay, I need to exchange for Dream Weaving, which lasts for one month.]

System: [Deal.]

The system agreed readily.

The electronic panel in Wen Yuan's mind quickly displayed the dream weaving reward.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was an imperceptible amusement in the corners of her eyes.

After finishing their business, Wen Yuan and Xiaoying returned to Wenli Pavilion.

Lu Feilin rode at full speed and brought back a piece of important news before the yamen runners arrived.

Madam Li is dead!

Her body was found in a creek near her home, having drowned in the early hours of this morning.

"Where's her son?"

"Reporting to the Queen, Madam Li's child died suddenly of a serious illness last night. The neighbors said that Madam Li couldn't accept the death of her son and committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"What's wrong with her son?"

"Epilepsy."

Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy, causes convulsions and foaming at the mouth.

"Have you thoroughly investigated Madam Li's household?"

"Yes, a small amount of Aconitum was found in Madam Li's house."

Lu Feilin took out the aconite from the package and presented it to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician smelled it and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Aconitum."

Now, with all the physical evidence, Ji Xingyao was indeed drugged for three years and eventually died of the poison.

Li Heng slumped in his chair. He had severe tinnitus and could hardly hear the sounds outside.

"Madam Li has no grudge against the princess. Even if she had the guts to do it, she wouldn't dare to poison her. There must be someone behind this."

Wen Yuan was making indirect accusations, and was almost saying that this person was Prince Ruiping.

Li Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "All of you leave."

Everyone left Wenli Pavilion one after another, except Li Heng, who seemed to have dementia, muttering to himself: "It was me who harmed Xingyao. It turned out it was really me."

"I... killed Xingyao..."

Li Heng let out a long roar towards the sky, suddenly pulled out the dagger that was hanging on the wall of the study as a decoration, and stabbed himself with it without hesitation.
