After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 348 Immortal Magic
"What methods or tricks do I have?"

The princess remained calm, peeled a lychee and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, easing her depressed mood considerably.

"This is all thanks to Madam Song!"

"It's Lady Song who knows magic."

The young emperor asked in surprise, "Lady Song?"

"The Xie family cousin who was previously engaged to Zhang Chi?"

He still had a strong impression of Song Lan.

"When my elder sister entered the palace, I even got her an official position, saying it was to assist the Jingzhao Prefecture in handling cases..."

The young emperor paused slightly: "Does she really possess some extraordinary abilities?"

He seemed to realize something, and sat up straight with a serious expression: "I've heard that the Xie family members are now practically living dead. They appear to be alive, but in reality..."

"Could this be true too?"

"Rumors are circulating that the Xie family head was originally dead, and his body had been taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture. But somehow, when the coroner was dissecting the body, he suddenly came back to life."

"It scared even the most experienced master craftsman! He submitted his resignation that very day, saying he was determined to retire and return to his hometown!"

"And the rest of the Xie family, I heard that every night they see Xie Yuanyi, the eldest aunt of the Xie family, coming to their door demanding justice, and they're all terrified."

The young emperor's face was full of gossipy interest.

Zhao Tan glared at him angrily: "Where did you hear this nonsense?"

The young emperor touched his nose guiltily.

But he didn't dare say that he often sneaked out of the palace to listen to storytellers and singers on the street.

"The Xie family members have simply done too many bad things, which has made them suspicious and frightened them. They have suffered too much fright, which is why they have fallen ill."

Zhao Tan said calmly, "What does this have to do with other people?"

"It was their own doing, coveting the dowry of their daughter and shamelessly seizing their niece's dowry, that brought them this retribution. Who did anything wrong?" The young emperor was not about to believe such gossip-free words.

Not to mention, it's the kind of nonsense about karma, which is just a way to fool kind people.

If there were truly cause and effect and retribution in the world, there wouldn't be so many innocent people suffering without any recourse for justice.

But the perpetrators go unpunished and live a life of pleasure for more than ten years, or even decades, or even until their death, without ever experiencing any retribution or suffering.

The cycle of cause and effect, the inevitable retribution... it's nothing but self-deception after impotent rage!

However, in that case, there's no need to say it out loud and risk offending others.

The young emperor could tell that his elder sister must really like Song Lan.

They even gave Song Lan the guard they kept like a treasure in the mansion.

He used to think that Yan Jun was a vixen from outside who used some low-class and despicable means to bewitch his elder sister and wanted to become his brother-in-law.

She's always disliked Yan Jun!

Now that Yan Jun has married... no, he has married someone else, and the young emperor is much more at ease.

It's good that he's not thinking about eating his sister's swan meat.

Thanks to Song Lan's appearance, the young emperor was able to resolve the major concern of Yan Jun, and he had a relatively good impression of Song Lan.

But he was more skeptical and inquisitive.

According to his informants, Su Wenheng's daughter, who had been in a coma for many years, was able to wake up because of Song Lan.

Although it is unknown what Song Lan did, it is certain that when Su Xianyun woke up, several ministers who were discussing matters in his palace suddenly died!

This includes the Left Prime Minister, whose death is still kept secret to this day!

Of course, no other families held funerals either.
