The old lady is reborn

Everyone at the Spring Banquet looked at each other, and everyone involuntarily looked at the late emperor.

The late emperor was the first to pick up his chopsticks with a smile, which was an acknowledgement of the imperial concubine's decision to take over the meal.

But this was just the beginning. At that spring banquet, because the late emperor supported the imperial concubine, the empress lost all her face... It was wrong for the empress to speak, and it was also wrong for her not to speak.

Every step forward at the Spring Banquet had to wait for the imperial concubine to nod.

The Queen wanted to leave the table on the grounds that she was not feeling well but His Majesty did not allow her to do so. Instead, His Majesty said, "I ate this snowflake candy to forget my worries and be happy. Why don't you try some? Eating this plate will cure any disease."

Then he rewarded the Queen with a large plate in public. Together with the food already on the Queen's table, there were about forty pieces in total, and he asked the Queen to finish it.

As for that candy, Song Ying would only eat one or two pieces.

At the Spring Banquet, in full view of everyone... the queen was humiliated and had to eat more than forty pieces.

Song Ying was lost in her memories. Why did she have to dismember Tian Anran? Why was there snowflake candy?

Does the Ninth Prince really have the guts to do this? Is it time to openly challenge the imperial power?

This doesn't seem like something that his two capable ministers, Cheng Hanzhi and Lu Dekai, could accomplish...

Because the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were involved in this case, Dali Temple Minister Zeng Chen also came here to take a look.

Song Ying saw it, and after Zeng Chen finished his work, he walked over and said, "Sir Zeng, I have something to tell you."

Zeng Chen said, "Madam, please speak."

Song Ying said: "This is probably not done by the Ninth Prince. It's too obvious. It looks more like the work of the Sixth Prince."

Zeng Chen didn't understand what he meant: "What's too obvious?"

Song Ying thought that Zeng Chen's father might know about these past events, but Zeng Chen probably didn't know.

He first explained to Zeng Chen that snowflake crisps were the imperial concubine's specialty and that the queen had been humiliated because of it.

Then Song Ying said, "The five horses that were used to kill Tian Anran were probably designed to hurt your majesty."

Zeng Chen said: "What do you mean by that?"

Song Ying said that the imperial concubine, relying on the favor of the late emperor, had been extremely disrespectful to the empress, using provocative words and aggressive behavior, and she did so in front of all the concubines and palace maids in the harem.

This made the Empress Dowager at that time feel like she was being roasted on the fire. If any other concubine dared to treat the Empress like this, she would be dragged away and slapped in the face, or forced to kneel down.

But the imperial concubine was too favored, and the late emperor often personally helped her punish other concubines. Many palaces in the palace were stained with blood because of the imperial concubine.

But if she is not punished, she will have to bow to the imperial concubine in front of everyone and endure such insults.

Later, a servant risked his life to stand up for the queen.

This man is a long-time attendant of the prince and has been with him for many years.

Song Ying said: "It's just like Aunt Zhang and I."

The attendant rushed forward and slapped the imperial concubine twice. After that, he said, "For such disrespectful words, the punishment from the queen is only a small punishment."

Later, the late emperor saw the red marks on the imperial concubine's cheeks and heard her crying, so he had the attendant torn into pieces by five horses in public. He ordered the empress and the crown prince to watch the execution, and also called all the concubines and palace maids to watch together.

When the attendant saw the guards rushing in, he bid farewell to the prince and said only one sentence to him: "Master, please take care of yourself and don't cry for me."

He endured the deliberate torture and did not scream until his death. The prince also endured it and watched the execution calmly.

Zeng Chen thought to himself after hearing this: My father also told me a lot about the court affairs back then, how come there is none of these exciting gossips.

When Song Ying heard this, she just felt strange. If he really wanted to protect the mother and son, why did he do so many hateful things while he was alive?

Both the Five Horses Dismemberment and the Snowflake Candy are blatant provocations aimed directly at the Ninth Prince, and are also direct provocations to His Majesty.

Because the last one to ascend the throne in the previous life was the Sixth Prince, it was very likely that the Sixth Prince used a tactic of hitting the bull from a distance and diverted the investigation originally directed at him to the Ninth Prince.

After Song Ying had said everything he could, Zeng Chen said, “Your Majesty wants the case files, after all, it is an open fight against the Sixth Prince.

If the people below report this truthfully, His Majesty will probably be angry. I will go to the palace to see Him first."

The two of them said goodbye to each other, and Song Ying said hello to the Jingzhao Yin's people and returned to her house. She had nothing to do these days, so she didn't leave the house.

After receiving Huaiyuan's letter, I estimated that the journey would only take three to five days.

Song Ying sat at the table and took out a small bottle with a few colorful mud pills in it. He took out one and threw it out.

This is Song Ying’s heart knot.

In her previous life, she and her children and grandchildren all died.

The eight people in her youngest son's family plus herself and her eldest son, ten lives. If I can't return them in this life, I will still feel heartbroken when I wake up in the middle of the night.

The mud pill in this small bottle represents Tian Anran and her children and grandchildren.

Although it was beyond Song Ying's expectation that the Sixth Prince or the Ninth Prince would kill Tian Anran, and it was far less satisfying than doing it himself, it was still a solution.

Rong Yuehua didn't let her be born. I hope to comfort my little great-grandson that neither I nor my little great-grandson got to eat that box of candy.

Rong Huaishan is getting closer to the living dead every day, and there is no cure. In the previous life, his biological son, the real eldest son, never saw him until Song Ying died.

Tian Anran was torn into pieces by five horses. In his previous life, he was chopped into a human pig.

Now that three have been thrown out...Song Ying feels a little better.

Song Ying's accountant came to report that Rong Ruzhi agreed to pay the debt.

This surprised Song Ying: "All? No conditions?"

The accountant said, "All of it, no conditions."

I have the impression that he is not such a generous person. Is it because he was so heartbroken by Tian Anran’s death that he lost his mind?

Song Ying said, "Then let's take it over." What he was thinking was that he should take it over quickly, lest this person change his mind and cause more trouble.

He added: "The payment document needs to be signed by them."

His son lived a life like that in Niujiagou, while Tian Anran's descendants enjoyed wealth and prosperity.

In the previous life, all the dowry and private property under my name were divided up... You will have to experience sweetness before bitterness in the days to come.

After returning everything, they should only have some private property... These private properties...

Thinking of Huai'an, and considering that now that he had found his son, he should arrange a marriage for him. Huai'an is already 35 years old.

But I also feel that being impatient will not help me find a good person, I need to find someone who is kind-hearted, honest, and truly cares for Huai'an. Song Ying doesn't mind anything else.

But this is not easy. Song Ying sighed.

The doorman came to report the news, and Song Ying was overjoyed... But it turned out that it was not him, it was He Jiabao from the He Family Silk Shop who came.

Song Ying thought: What is he doing here? Is there something wrong with the production of the uniforms assigned to him?

I had to change my clothes and go to the flower hall in the front yard to meet the guests.

When He Jiabao saw Song Ying, he didn't even bother to exchange polite words and asked directly, "I heard that Tian Anran was killed? Did all the people from Jingzhao Yin go there?"

Song Ying nodded.

He Jiabao said, “You know, I gave Tian Anran… those dozen boxes of things, some of which have unclean things in them, must be taken back or destroyed.”

Song Ying asked, "But I'm worried about what the coroner from the Jingzhao Yin police station will find out when he performs the autopsy."

He Jiabao said: “I’m not worried about that.

Once this thing breaks out, it cannot be detected.

After Tian Anran moved to the outer house, he hired maids and servants, and I took the opportunity to send two of them in.

According to them, the poison had already taken effect two months ago.”

Song Ying looked at him and didn't understand.

He Jiabao could only say: "This poison is called Wolf's Howl. It slowly accumulates in the body until it takes effect. When the poison takes effect, the eyes become bloodshot and red, and the larynx also becomes swollen and the person becomes unable to speak.

But because of the great pain in his heart, he could only let out a howling sound.

The first time the poison attacks, it takes a long time for the poison to accumulate, but as long as the source of the poison is still there, the intervals between subsequent attacks will become shorter and shorter.

Two months ago, Tian Anran had his first attack of the poison and was in pain all night. About a month later, he had another attack of the poison and was in so much pain that he felt like a madman.

Twenty days later, the poison attacked him for the third time, and ten days later, two days before he was killed, the poison attacked him for the fourth time.

The poison has just taken effect, so it is probably impossible to detect the poison in her body.

But those fifteen boxes of stuff must be destroyed as soon as possible. It would be bad if innocent people were harmed. I just hate her and don’t want to hurt others.”

Song Ying said: "Every time the poison takes effect, there is a huge pain in my heart, and it hurts so much that I feel like I'm going crazy?

How long does the pain last each time?

He Jiabao said: "About three hours. The poison in the body is exhausted."

"The poison took effect four times?"

"Yes."

Song Ying lowered her head to drink tea, hiding the faint smile on her face, and then listened to He Jiabao say:

“Tian Anran went to different clinics, but none of them found that she was poisoned. They just thought she had a heart disease.

This has to be done the day before the poison takes effect, and only if the poison is known can it be discovered.

She also suspected that she had been poisoned and disposed of a lot of things, but she never doubted the batch of old things.

That batch of clothes, jewelry, shoes, cloaks, incense burners, various small items, and those fifteen large boxes, it would be bad if someone else used them in the future."

Song Ying said: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
