Chapter 534 I'm Not Reconciled
Su Hezhi and Xu Yuxiang, who were doing business in Yizhou, also received the news. They didn't know exactly what Xiao Afan had done, but they knew how bad Emperor Jingde's reputation was.

Although the reputation may not be true, Emperor Jingde's cruelty is undeniable, and he may very well have intended to kill Xiao Afan!
After discussing it, the two immediately settled their business and took their two children to the capital. They wanted to try their best to find connections to save Xiao Afan before his execution, even though it was almost impossible!

Several families in Jiangnan have already moved to the capital, and people in the capital are even more restless upon hearing this news.

"Brother, we've heard a lot of people calling Fairy Sister a traitor. Wasn't Fairy Sister there to capture traitors? How did she become a traitor?"

“Brother, I even went to the Princess’s residence today to inquire about the situation. There are many soldiers guarding Her Highness’s residence, and they don’t let anyone in or out.”

"My parents said that the emperor ordered the execution of Fairy Sister and the Sixth Prince. Sister is a meritorious official of the Northern Wind Kingdom, and the Sixth Prince is his son. He even wants to execute a meritorious official and his son. He is a big bad guy!"

"Shh!"

Bai Qi quickly covered the child's mouth, signaling them to stop talking. The group of children silently retreated to the corner connecting the alley. People passing by on the street would occasionally glance at them, their eyes filled with scrutiny, contempt, curiosity, and even a sense of danger.

"I heard someone in the capital say that there is a distinction between the emperor and his subjects. No matter how bad the emperor is, he is still the emperor. As the eldest princess, you are a subject, so we cannot speak ill of the emperor. If someone hears us, we will be dragged out and beheaded!"

Fear filled the children's faces, and panic and lingering fear flashed in their clear eyes. They instinctively reached out and covered their mouths.

"The fairy sister is good to us, and we can't be ungrateful. Those people want to smear her innocence with rumors, so let's spread rumors everywhere and say that the fairy sister is a good person who was wronged and suffered in prison, so that all the loyal and patriotic soldiers will be disheartened!"

"Okay! Let's go home and tell our parents, they'll definitely agree!"

The capital was thrown into chaos because of a princess with no real power. The useless sixth prince, whose maternal family had long since fallen, also joined in the chaos. Even the emperor's most trusted ministers sided with them, as if they had been bribed. News of defeats kept coming from the Yanbei region. The emperor neglected state affairs, and various local forces were stirring up trouble. The powerful and influential people who used to have the power to do whatever they wanted could only keep their tails between their legs, fearing that one day the world would descend into chaos.

With peaceful days numbered, there are always those who try to muddy the waters.

"A country bumpkin girl is a savior? Ridiculous! Where did these rumors come from? Why did all the rumors we painstakingly spread fail? Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Find those bastards who oppose me and leave no one alive!"

The ornaments on the table were swept away, and porcelain shattered all over the floor. The people kneeling on the ground buried their heads even deeper, and a soft sigh broke the silence after the anger.

"Why is Your Majesty doing this? The King is waiting for you to return to Miao territory to inherit the throne. The King has said that the matter of the great revenge should be dealt with slowly and cannot be rushed."

An elderly hand gently rested on the young man's shoulder, which trembled slightly with anger, offering both comfort and tenderness.

The Lord lost his mother at a young age. Although he received temporary protection from the Miao people, his life was ultimately fraught with hardship. After years of planning and scheming, he encountered a mishap just as he was about to succeed, which left him physically and mentally wounded and almost beyond saving.

She had followed the Lord for many years, knew of His perseverance, and understood the bitterness in her heart, like a drowning person struggling desperately but unable to reach the shore.

"Wizard... I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

A series of pains shot through her internal organs, and as she recalled the setbacks of the past few years, a lump formed in her throat.

Feng Yiyi's bloodshot eyes glistened with tears, large teardrops gently sliding down her bloodless cheeks. She recalled the day her beloved defended the person she hated most in front of her.

Why is it that even though she tries so hard, she still can't get what she wants?

Why is God so unfair, taking away what she cherishes step by step?
"No! Since so many people want to help her, I want them to see it all, to see her nailed to the pillar of shame, to see her fall from grace, to struggle in the mud, and to die in agony!" "Wizard, could you please cast another spell on her destiny? I have a feeling she is the chosen one we've been searching for!"

"My lord..."

The middle-aged woman in black pursed her lips, the words of persuasion stuck in her throat, but when she met those pleading, childlike eyes, she finally softened.

Those withered hands clenched tightly around their faith, determined to burn for it one last time with the rest of their lives.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will try again immediately."

After seeing the wizard off, Feng Yiyi's expression returned to its cold indifference. The Jiangnan region she had been controlling had been severely damaged by that brat surnamed Qi. She had also failed to capture Ezhou, which she had meticulously planned. Those useless people couldn't even stabilize the Shu region. The Yunnan and Xiaoxiang regions had been abandoned before any plans could be made. And the most promising Yanbei region had actually been lost to that guy surnamed Gu!

Helian Zhaoxin is an arrogant egomaniac. He kept assuring her that he could take Yanbei, but what happened? He couldn't even keep an eye on the people he had already captured. He's utterly useless!

In this world, you can only truly rely on yourself!
"Someone, go and send some more gifts to my good father, the Emperor!"

……

The capital was in an uproar, but the few people in the imperial prison were isolated in this world, lying around in a slumped position, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

When Xiang Shan arrived at the cell and saw the people lying there, he didn't think there was anything wrong. But when he got closer and saw the faces of the people, he was shocked.

The men looked healthy and rosy, not at all like they hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days. Their clothes were a little dirty, but they were actually in better spirits than before they entered the prison!
This made him wonder if his usual lack of energy was because he was overeating and needed to go hungry to feel energetic.
He was only surprised for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. It was common knowledge that the eldest princess was very capable and well-versed in medicine. She must have some life-saving medicine. Of course, it was also possible that they had bribed people in the prison to secretly provide food and drink to the group.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered someone to question the jailer guarding the prison and to carefully check the defenses around the cell, and found nothing wrong with them.

Upon receiving the inspection results, Xiang Shan's expression was complex. When he looked at Yang Jinfan, who was resting with his eyes closed, he felt both admiration and regret.

If the princess truly possesses a miraculous elixir that can prolong life, then wouldn't he...?

"Commander, why are you staring at us like that?"

Feng Yiyao cast a sinister glance, and a chill ran down his spine as he looked behind the mountain. He instinctively lowered his head.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed that both of you be summoned to the Imperial Study for questioning."

"Don't go."

Yang Jinfan remained unchanged, only waving his hand, and said nothing more.

Feng Yiyao nodded towards the outside of the prison cell to show his attitude. Fearing that Xiang Shan would be in a difficult position, he specifically said, "Commander Xiang, there's no need to be in a difficult position. Just convey the message."

All done!
