With Siyang's advice, Ning Maochun and Tian Li were worthy of being enemies.
The couple worked together.
They really did find some clues.
Consort Xun was an imperial concubine.
Princess Yuelan poisoned her inside the palace walls.
The entire Ning Clan was implicated at this time. They couldn't enter the Imperial Palace and couldn't find any evidence.
To prove Princess Yuelan's innocence.
But people always came up with ideas.
Consort Xun's matter wasn't just the Ning family. The Empress was also reprimanded by the Emperor. After all, she was Princess Yuelan's cousin. Moreover, the poisoning matter developed.
Princess Yuelan did it to vent her anger for the Empress's cousin.
The Empress didn't want to get involved in this matter to avoid being despised by the Emperor.
Tian Li was worthy of being called a metal-mouthed chicken by her mother-in-law. It wasn't difficult for her to send a message in if she couldn't enter the palace. Let's not talk about exonerating Princess Yuelan first.
If this matter was really admitted, the Empress would no longer have a foothold in the harem.
She would be firmly suppressed by Consort Xun. For her own sake,
The Empress couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Not to mention opening the door of convenience.
It was crucial for them to provide some clues.
With Ning Fengde's addition to the Exquisite embroidery workshop, it was very beneficial for Siyang and Long Qiaoqiao. Ning Fengde also taught the embroidery workshop's embroidery skills without hiding anything. After Siyang, as the boss, saw this, she wouldn't let him suffer. If Ning Maochun and the others closed the case in the future, "A Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" would definitely reopen. It would also be a big advantage for him.
Therefore, she generously increased the salary by several times. As for the dividends, Siyang and Long Qiaoqiao didn't mention it. When "A Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" reopened, she still had a share of Exquisite embroidery workshop in Ning Fengde's hands. When the time came, it would be difficult to explain.
Naturally, Ning Fengde had interacted with Long Qiaoqiao a lot in the Exquisite Garments. Now that he had lost his power and was demoted to a commoner, he had been ridiculed and rolled his eyes at by everyone. He had come to terms with his actions in the past and was aware of it all. He felt ashamed when facing Ning Fengde and Long Qiaoqiao. He felt that he was the one who had separated the two of them for more than twenty years and was actually trying to matchmake them.
"I don't know why Ge would think that way." Long Qiaoqiao pulled Siyang to embroider a new embroidery order as she talked about this matter..
Siyang raised her head to look at her. "She can be considered to have turned over a new leaf."
Long Qiaoqiao paused and laughed in spite of herself. "There is no possibility between me and Big Brother Yun. It's just that Ge Ge's thoughts are very sensitive right now. It seems that I have to find a chance to make things clear to her. Sigh, I believe that Ge Ge would definitely not do something like poisoning others. It's just that I don't know when Eleven and Mao Chun will be able to find out the truth."
Even though Siyang did not personally see the farce in the palace, she could guess who was behind it. Originally, she didn't want to get involved and only let Ning Maochun and Tian Li deal with it. However, yesterday, Guan Sheng said that someone was investigating the clues left behind by robbing the rich to give to the poor.
If Ning Maochun was implicated, Guan Sheng wouldn't be able to hide it. As expected, she still needed to get rid of all future troubles.
Forget it, it was better for her to do it herself. She didn't know how long it would take to wait for those two people.
Overnight, a rumor appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital. It was said that Mian Lun, a member of the imperial family, held the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs, but was corrupt and took bribes. Moreover, he disregarded the lives of the common people and secretly sold young girls in exchange for the patent rights of Great Britain's foreign affairs. With his own selfish interests, he profited profiteering. He was truly unworthy of being a minister.
If this little bit of gossip was like a fermenting smoke, it would sweep through the capital in just a few days. Even ignorant children would be able to hum a few lines.
At first, when the rumor appeared, not many people took it seriously. However, it became more and more intense. In the end, when the Nine Gates Commander received the order to ban it, it was too late.
"Bastard, why haven't you arrested all of those lowly commoners for Wang?"
Mian Wangye angrily slapped the table.
The Nine Gates Commander, Ah Qi, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Answering Wangye, the law can't punish the masses. Now the whole capital is filled with rumors. This official can't arrest all of them for you. Besides, even if you do arrest them, you can't put them in prison."
Mian Lun's face was dark and ugly. He never thought that Alpha Centauri and the others were dead, but there were still people who implicated him. Could it be that someone around him betrayed him? Now he didn't want to care about these things. He had to stop the rumors as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it reached the ears of the Emperor, he would definitely be targeted.
"Wang, no matter what method you use, you must quickly make these lowly commoners shut up. If you really can't do it, then arrest those who make the most noise and punish them severely. It's not too much to kill them on the spot for slandering the Imperial Family." Mian Lun was really angry.
That day in the Imperial Palace, he had a private meeting with Consort Xun, but he didn't expect to run into Princess Yuelan. Although he didn't know whether she saw him or not, Mian Lun would never allow himself to be in danger. Therefore, he discussed with Consort Xun and came up with a play of poisoning and framing. Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't kill him because of Princess Yuelan's family.
Mian Lun wanted to assassinate her, but because Princess Yuelan lived in the Peace Inn, which was full of bandits, he didn't want to alert the enemy for the time being. He only sent people to keep an eye on her, and as long as there was any movement, they would eliminate the roots.
Right now, Ning Maochun and Tian Li were investigating fiercely. Before he could think of a way to deal with them, his past had been exposed.
Ah Qi was pressured by Mian Lun and could only do what he wanted, but he only wanted to catch a few people to pretend. If he really caught everyone, how would he explain himself when the Emperor questioned him?
But when he went to catch people, it was like all the rumours had disappeared. It was so calm that it was like they had never appeared, but it was also a bit strange.
But soon after, another rumour came out.
The Emperor had been cuckolded!!!
Right, right, right, it was that Mian Lun Wangye who had abducted young girls.
The two of them had a private meeting in the Imperial Palace.
Un, un, that's right, that's right, Consort Xun had even left the palace to go out with him.
It's true, it's true, I saw it with my own eyes.
… …
No man would be able to tolerate his woman wearing such a special colored hat on his head, and the emperor was even more unable to tolerate it.
"I didn't think that the main culprit was Mian Lun Wangye." Ning Maochun was a bit dazed after learning the truth.
After Tian Li had been demoted in the Ning family, she had admitted that she wasn't pregnant at all. Princess Yuelan, who had suffered a huge blow, had calmly accepted it. Right now, she had no stomach and was very light.
"Now that I think about it, Popo was harmed because she found out about his affair with Consort Xun. Now that the truth has been revealed, I naturally have to give Popo justice."
"I can't."
The one who spoke was Princess Yuelan. She didn't have any pearls on her head now and was wearing a plain dress. Her eyebrows were much calmer than before and there were a few more wrinkles on her face.
Tian Li didn't understand: "Why?"
"The Emperor can't just admit that Mian Lun and Consort Xun were having an affair." Ning Fengde sighed and turned to pat Princess Yuelan comfortingly.
Tian Li looked around and suddenly understood. That's right, the Emperor was the Emperor, how could he tolerate such a big green hat being placed on his head? No matter how he dealt with Mian Lun and Consort Xun, he wouldn't choose to clear Princess Yuelan's name.
That would make it clear that he had been cuckolded.
"It's all my fault." Ning Maochun hit his head hard, his face full of regret: "If it wasn't for me spreading those rumors, Empress wouldn't have to bear the crime of poisoning for the rest of her life."
Yes, the rumors that the Emperor had been cuckolded were spread by Ning Maochun and Tian Li.
Siyang was worried about the intelligence of the two. She only wanted to throw Mian Lun out so that Ning Maochun would have a direction to investigate. Who knew that he would use the Empress to find out that Consort Xun was having an affair with another man, and that man was Mian Lun. She didn't expect him to spread the news.
She could have sent a message to the emperor.
"It's okay, son." Qilan Ge Ge, on the other hand, was more open-minded. "I feel happier and more at ease now than before. Ge Ge's identity made me do a lot of wrong things, but without those titles, I can see more reality. Our family being together is better than anything else."
In the end, as everyone expected, Mian Lun was investigated as the mastermind behind the case of the missing girls. He was also convicted of corruption and was sentenced to be beheaded. There wasn't much news about Consort Xun. The common people didn't hear anything. Later, with some intentional people guiding them, they didn't mention her and Mian Lun together.
However, only Ning Maochun and the others knew that Consort Xun had been sentenced to death. The Consort Xun in the palace was just a normal palace maid.
Ning Maochun began to learn embroidery from Ning Fengde. He didn't study hard before because he wasn't interested. Now, he felt that he should be more sensible. Tian Li helped the family take care of the inn. Princess Yuelan also helped the inn. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often bickered, but the smell was no longer there.
Exquisite embroidery workshop was even bigger. The Kingdom of France sent a cloth painting. The Emperor ordered the Exquisite embroidery workshop to make changes. Siyang asked Long Qiaoqiao to bring Ning Fengde along to show his face in front of the Emperor.
The two's embroidery skills were superb. The emperor was very satisfied with the changes made to the cloth painting. He praised the two and sighed that such exquisite embroidery masters were rare. He allowed Ning Fengde to reopen the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.
The Phoenix Seeks Phoenix reopened. Although he had lost his family fortune, he could start all over again.
Princess Yuelan didn't know when it started, but she liked to act as a matchmaker. First, she wouldn't let go of Siyang, causing the latter to avoid her. Seeing that she was so slippery, she wanted to act as a matchmaker for Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng said with a straight face that he only wanted to be a widower. Princess Yuelan was so angry that she ate less than half a bowl of rice that day.
Later, she really did matchmake them. They weren't just bystanders. Everyone knew each other.
It was the young miss of the Kong family whom she had broken off the engagement with, and the young master of the Sima family whom she had interfered with.
Miss Kong's reputation was ruined by Princess Yuelan. Young master Sima wanted to marry her, but there were many obstacles.
In order to make up for the mistakes she had made, Princess Yuelan was very attentive to this marriage. Miss Kong's illness was only a small skin disease. She would have some rashes in the spring and autumn. It really wasn't a big deal. She ran all over the city and found a prescription from an old doctor. This prescription couldn't cure the disease, but when the season came, she would eat a few bento bowls and it would stop rashes.
She took the prescription and went to the Kong family to apologize. Then, she carefully went to the Sima family to make peace. After several visits, her mouth was dry from talking. Finally, the marriage was completed.
The wedding dress was personally made by the boss of the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix. The mandarin ducks on the veil were embroidered by the boss of the Exquisite embroidery workshop.
Siyang and Long Qiaoqiao didn't have any intention of getting married. The two of them were teachers and friends. They were more like sisters.
Long Qiaoqiao said that she wanted to make the Exquisite embroidery workshop bigger. So big that … they could travel across the ocean to another country.
Siyang felt that as an embroidery master, it would be good to travel around the world and exchange cultures.
Guan Sheng couldn't control his daughter. If his daughter didn't want to marry, he couldn't force her. He was a good father, but he couldn't be at ease if his daughter didn't put him in his eyes. Then, he would go to the foreign territory to take a look. If his daughter fell in love with a blonde, he would be able to take a look.
Unfortunately, his plan was not going to work.
