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

That night, all the people in southern Xinjiang were caught in one fell swoop.

When Maidan went to assassinate the emperor, his whereabouts were exposed before he reached the Suhe Hall.

He fought with the Yulin Guards for a long time, but was eventually outnumbered and detained on the spot.

At the same time, when Daranti was hiding in Yonghe Palace, a large number of Yulin Guards surrounded Mingyue Palace.

None of the six maids from southern Xinjiang in the palace escaped, and even Amire, who was hiding in a trance in the corner, was caught.

The remaining seven maids, tasked with setting fire, were scattered throughout the harem. After being searched by the Yulin Guards, they were all captured before they could take action.

The next day, the dawn was just breaking.

Xu Jinyi walked out of the prison. This was the first time he breathed the outside air in more than two months.

In the long corridor, he passed by the detained Merdan.

The real murderer who killed Yao Wenchang and the scapegoat, one dark and one bright, each went to their own end.

In Suhe Hall, Li Zhao received the news that the King of Southern Xinjiang was sending troops.

The Taifeng elite troops ambushed at the edge of the city, following Li Zhao's previous orders, descended like a divine army and caught the Southern Xinjiang soldiers who entered the city in a trap.

After several days and nights of fierce fighting, Taifeng won a great victory.

The Taifeng army not only cut off the head of the Southern Xinjiang general, but also captured the former prime minister Cao Chen who defected to Southern Xinjiang.

Li Zhaolong was very pleased and immediately issued an edict to reward the frontier soldiers.

In the imperial city, after several days and nights of searching and interrogation, all the people from southern Xinjiang were caught in one fell swoop, and a large number of documents and letters, as well as various palace route sketches, were found in Mingyue Palace.

Unable to withstand the torture, the maid from Southern Xinjiang confessed everything.

The Censor flipped through the case files and asked one last question: "Are there any accomplices outside the palace?"

The maid from Southern Xinjiang was only half-breathed. She foamed at the mouth and shook her head with difficulty: "No."

The guards outside the palace searched the capital city inside and out several times, but found no trace of people from southern Xinjiang.

Everything is settled.

Li Zhao has always been decisive in killing people. Except for Amire, all the people in southern Xinjiang were executed, leaving no one alive.

Yonghe Palace.

Eunuch Zhou waved to Nanny Li with a happy face.

"Eunuch Zhou, why are you here?" Nanny Li looked unhappy.

The assassination attempt had caused her to sleep poorly for several days and nights, and she would always wake up in the middle of the night. As soon as she woke up, she would put on her clothes and go to the imperial concubine's door to listen for any movement.

Although there were secret guards guarding at night, she still couldn't help but come and take a look.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was about to give birth, Nanny Li was worried every day, feeling uneasy about this and that.

Eunuch Zhou told her, "Madam Li, the Emperor has completely lifted the ban on the Empress. If the Empress wants to go to the Imperial Garden, she can go anytime."

"Oh, this is great news. Recently, Your Majesty wanted to go to the Imperial Garden every day. She couldn't eat or sleep well after not going there for a few days. Now that the ban has been lifted, Your Majesty can finally rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li, who had been looking worried, immediately smiled happily.

Eunuch Zhou laughed and said, "That's nothing. We'll have a big wedding coming soon."

"Great joy?" Nanny Li asked, eyes wide open. "What great joy?"

Eunuch Zhou shook his head in a mysterious manner: "Wait for the imperial edict in a few days."

Nanny Li and Eunuch Zhou were both senior members of the palace and knew each other's temperaments very well. Eunuch Zhou was always very meticulous in his work, and he was definitely not joking when he said this.

"Overjoyed?"

What else was the Imperial Concubine's joy, besides giving birth to a prince?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head.

Yeah!

Nanny Li suddenly covered her mouth. Could it be, could it be that the queen was to be crowned?

Apart from this, Nanny Li couldn't think of anything else.

This speculation was indeed bold. Nanny Li pursed her lips and suppressed this "great joy" in her heart.

She swept away the sad look of the past few days and looked radiant.

She straightened her meticulously-made hair and went to look for the imperial concubine excitedly.

“My Lady, your ban is lifted.

"Ah."

Wen Yuan looked indifferent and was not happy about it.

Nanny Li's smile froze. "My Lady, would you like to go to the Imperial Garden? If so, I'll have a sedan chair prepared."

"Forget it, I don't want to go out."

"…….,good."

Nanny Li was puzzled as to why the Empress reacted so coldly, but she was afraid of upsetting her, so she could only lower her head and retreat.

"Ayuan, do you want to go out for a walk? I'll go with you."

Ji Xingyao has been with Wen Yuan all the time these days, trying every possible way to make her happy.

However, she always used too much force, and Wen Yuan could see it at a glance.

Ji Xingyao's anxiety and regret were no less than Wen Yuan's. At the same time, self-blame and guilt tormented her in her heart.

She always regretted that she shouldn't have been in love and stayed for Li Heng, dragging Wen Yuan down.

Feudal society and the free and democratic modern society are completely different systems. Here, men are superior to women, and women are nothing more than vassals of men.

Women can never show their true selves.

Wen Yuan is the most typical woman in modern society, independent and loving freedom.

Her value is not to continue the family line within the walls, she has her own career dream.

Ji Xingyao is the opposite of her. She has been a "goofball" since childhood and does not have any great ideals. Living happily is her goal in life.

Her dream before was that her best friend would succeed in starting a business, become rich, and support her for the rest of her life.

Seeing that the day of her departure is getting closer, Ji Xingyao hopes that Wen Yuan can be happier.

"Would you like some rock sugar bird's nest soup?"

Wen Yuan had no appetite, as Ji Xingyao was always around her, hoping and carefully trying various ways to amuse her. Wen Yuan didn't want to spoil her fun, so she nodded.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to make it right away." Ji Xingyao's eyes lit up and he immediately ran to the imperial kitchen.

Coming out of the imperial kitchen, Ji Xingyao met Xu Jinyi who had been reinstated.

"Ling'er?" Xu Jinyi ran to her excitedly.

"Minister Xu." Ji Xingyao looked at him with a smile, her eyes filled with relief at meeting him again.

She had originally planned to meet Xu Jinyi before leaving, and now that she had met him, it was a good opportunity to say goodbye to him in advance.

"Ling'er, are you okay?" Xu Jinyi was happy and nervous, a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine. How about you? Did you suffer in the prison?"

"No, the censor did not make things difficult for me." Xu Jinyi shook his head.

"That's good. Minister Xu, thank you for your help in allowing me to meet with the Imperial Concubine."

The smile on Xu Jinyi's face disappeared, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'm leaving in a few days. Thank you for keeping this secret for me. After I'm gone, there will be no Ji Xingyao in this world anymore."

"Ms. Ji..."

"Minister Xu, I hope you find a good match soon. I won't be attending the wedding banquet, but I'm sending you my best wishes in advance."

Xu Jinyi swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect the separation to come so suddenly.

He used up all his life's endurance to prevent himself from losing control and shedding tears:

"I wish Miss Ji all the best, safety and health."

Ji Xingyao smiled and said, "Goodbye, Minister Xu."
