There was nothing suspicious found in the case. The doctor checked everyone around Qin Yunzheng, the servants in Prince Jin's mansion, the person in charge of purchasing for the kitchen, and even the herbal medicine shop, but there was nothing suspicious. The Supreme Court finally closed the case on the grounds that Qin Yunzheng was too frightened.

Prince Jin went to the Supreme Court to ask for an explanation. An Chen told him everything he had investigated, but Prince Jin could not find any flaws and could only accept the result.

When Princess Jin found out, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, her eyes were on fire, and her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails were digging into her flesh.

"It's all the fault of those two little bitches from the Jiang family. If it weren't for them, Zheng'er wouldn't have become like this."

Prince Jin was also very angry and could not help but blame the princess, "It's all your fault. You agreed to Jiang Wan's plan. If not, our son would not have chased after them, and we would not have seen the dead bodies all over the ground."

When Princess Jin heard this, she immediately became unhappy and retorted, "Your Highness, you agreed to this matter at the beginning. Who wouldn't be jealous of Jiang Yuan's Yun's incense? Didn't you also agree to marry her and ask for her incense recipe?"

King Jin snorted coldly, "I think she is a golden goose that can lay eggs. Otherwise, how could a mere minister from Jiangzhou with such low status climb to the gate of my palace?

At the beginning, I said that I would come to propose marriage and marry Jiang Yuan directly, but you disagreed because you had your eyes on Jiang Wan.

Zheng Er was also completely obsessed with her, which is why he did so many things. "

"Your Majesty, Jiang Yuan's biological mother was a merchant. How could she be his legal wife? I am doing this for my son.

Moreover, Jiang Wan had vowed that Yun would not live long, and as soon as she died, she would become the legitimate daughter.

Her mother had been Jiangzhou's concubine for many years, and her background was indeed not impressive, but she was Jiangzhou's childhood sweetheart after all. Her family was engaged in farming, and her younger brother passed the provincial examination. After all, she sounded better than the merchant's daughter.

Who knew that damn girl Jiang Yuan had such good luck? It really pissed me off."

King Jin snorted coldly, "I think we should give up the Jiang family. Jiang Wan is not an easy person to deal with. She is not smart enough and has a bad reputation now.

As for Jiang Yuan, he has the protection of the eldest princess and has also received the emperor's decree, so he can marry on his own, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.

It is better to cure my son as soon as possible and choose a dignified, virtuous and well-behaved woman of the right age from among the suitable families to be his wife.

He keeps fooling around all day. If he continues like this, I'm afraid his son's life will be in danger."

Princess Jin also thinks so, but can her son’s illness be cured?

The case was settled and the New Year arrived.

Jiang Yuan moved back to the Jiang residence with her four maids three days in advance. Jiang Huai Academy also had a holiday, so they returned to the Jiang residence three days in advance.

During this period, someone from the Marquis' Mansion came once and said that they had received an invitation from the Jiang Mansion, asking Jiang Yuan to go back for the New Year. The Marquis' Mansion took the invitation and sent it over.

Jiang Yuan just threw the post away. Whoever wants to go can go. It’s New Year’s Day and she doesn’t want to be on alert all the time. She wonders if that old bitch is going to harm her.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Huai, who never drank, drank a lot of wine. Holding the wine glass, he looked at Jiang Yuan, sometimes grinning, sometimes frowning, and sometimes looking sad.

We had agreed to stay up together to celebrate the New Year, but he got drunk early and went back to his room to fall asleep.

Jiang Yuan was the only one left, carrying some side dishes and holding a jar of good wine, drinking until dawn.

They started greeting each other on the first day of the new year. Before Jiang Yuan got up, several familiar brothers had already come over and prepared new year gifts for them and his siblings.

Jiang Huai also presented the New Year gifts they had prepared in advance one by one.

Jiang Yuan slept until noon and after lunch, he came to the Marquis' Mansion with New Year gifts for the eldest princess, Qu Ying and Qu Ran.

As expected, I received a big red envelope from the eldest princess.

The New Year passed quickly. A servant from the Jiang residence came to look for them once, but after being rolled his eyes by Jiang Yuan, he never showed up again, leaving the brother and sister alone in peace.

In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the Lantern Festival.

After making an appointment with Qu Ying, the two of them went to see the lights together. There was new progress in the river dam experiment at home. For several days, Jiang Huai and Xue Yangling did not eat or drink. They were busy drawing pictures, making marks, and writing steps. They were very happy.

After dinner, Jiang Yuan said hello to Jiang Huai and asked Brother Liu to harness the carriages. There were two carriages in total. Brother Liu drove one, and Jiang Yuan and four maids sat in it.

Another car was driven by Mrs. Liu, who took her four children to see the lantern festival.

On the streets of the capital, every household hung lanterns, and the main street held the biggest lantern festival. I heard that there were seven layers of box lanterns with riddles on them. Those who guessed correctly would win big prizes.

Everyone was rushing to see the seven-layer box lantern. Of course, other programs on the street were also very attractive. Most of them were lantern riddle guessing activities. If you won, you could get a cute and beautiful lantern.

For the convenience of the people and to avoid any danger, the government office set up a blockade far away from the main street to prevent horses and carriages from entering. Jiang Yuan and his companions got off the carriage at the nearest place.

Qu Ying hadn't arrived yet, so Jiang Yuan asked Brother Liu and his wife to take the children in to play first, while she waited for Qu Ying to go in together.

Not long after, the carriage from the Marquis' Mansion arrived. Qu Ying and Qu Ran both got off the carriage. Each of them was accompanied by two maids, and there were guards and attendants behind them.

"You two, you make a big scene when you go out," Jiang Yuan joked.

Qu Ying looked back at the people following behind him, feeling somewhat helpless, "There is no other way, otherwise there is no way out, there are too many people here, it's too chaotic."

"Happy New Year, Sister Jiang." Qu Ran greeted her sweetly. Jiang Yuan bent down and picked her up. "Oh, our Shu'er has gained weight. She has become fatter and taller after not seeing her for a few days."

"Hehe..." Qu Ran laughed happily.

The group walked into the main street. Starting from the street level, it was as bright as day, with cute, beautiful and exquisite lanterns hanging everywhere.

They were guessing riddles as they walked. Before they reached the square with box lights, the maids behind Jiang Yuan and his companions were already holding two lanterns each. They were all won by Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying from guessing riddles.

Jiang Yuan was holding Qu Ran, who was holding a rabbit lantern in her hand. Her little hand was pointing here and there excitedly and she couldn't stop.

If Zhishu and Yicui hadn't urged them, they would have been late and missed the box light.

Finally, we arrived at the square on time. There was a tall pillar in the middle, and on the pillar hung a lantern head with a diameter of one and a half meters.

Why is it called the head of a lantern? Because it only has a circle, about several dozen centimeters thick, and the main body of the lantern is folded inside, so there is only a head on top.

"Wow, it's so high." Qu Ran couldn't help but say.

Qu Ying on the side was not surprised. She looked up and took a normal look. There were box lights every year, but the patterns were different.

It was the first time that Jiang Yuan saw a box lantern. She had never heard that a lantern could be made up of layers.

Everyone was waiting for the time, waiting for the box light to turn on, little knowing that a danger was quietly approaching.
