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

Chapter 364 The incident happened
"nothing!"

The eldest princess looked at the crowd who were staring intently in her direction and waved with a smile: "I'm listening to Madam Song tell me about the storybook she read last night. She got a little excited. You all go about your business!"

As he spoke, he called people up and placed a plate of fresh lychees on each person's table.

Then came the singing and dancing.

Upon hearing that there would be lychees to eat, everyone immediately forgot about everything else.

Seeing that everyone had been calmed down, the princess pulled Song Lan aside and started chirping softly.

The head of the Xue family glanced at the high platform and saw that the eldest princess seemed to be telling stories to Song Lan. The two of them were chatting and laughing together, so he quickly felt relieved.

It seems he was overthinking it.

"...Speaking of murder, I do recall something."

"In previous years, several small tribes in the north repeatedly harassed our border and plundered food and other supplies."

"The people living on the border are full of complaints and are suffering greatly."

"These were the few people we sent to quell the rebellion at that time."

The eldest princess looked at Song Lan and asked in a serious tone, "Could it be related to this matter?"

Song Lan shook her head: "I don't know."

"However, they have indeed resolved the cause and effect. Although they have plundered the lifespan and fortune of others to increase their own blessings and lifespan, it is within the scope permitted by the Heavenly Way."

As for whether he killed enemies during the suppression of the rebellion or killed other people in private, Song Lan had no idea.

But she felt that it shouldn't have much to do with quelling the rebellion.

Unless the enemy has done something that would incur divine and popular wrath, it's difficult to determine who is right and who is wrong, as both sides are acting in their own interests.

The eldest princess decided that after the banquet, she would keep the Prefect of the Capital and Su Wenheng behind to ask them questions.

The rest of the people can be kept under observation for now. Just then, a very shrill scream suddenly came from outside the Princess's residence.

"what!"

"what!"

Everyone was startled by the sound and hurriedly looked around.

what happened?
The chaotic army has attacked the city and is now at the Princess's residence?
Just as everyone was hesitating whether to run out to see what was happening or find a place to hide, a guard from the Princess's residence hurriedly walked in: "Your Highness!"

He hesitated for a moment, as if unsure how to say it: "The eldest daughter of the Xue family kneeling outside in repentance seems... a little strange!"

Ok?
Hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease and stopped panicking, and they all became eager to watch the drama unfold.

If the eldest princess hadn't yet spoken, they would have rushed out immediately to see what was going on!
That sound just now didn't sound like a human!
Only the head of the Xue family suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something bad was about to happen.

He immediately wanted to go outside and take a look.

Something's not right?

The eldest princess frowned: "What happened? Tell me in detail!"

The guard said, "We were ordered to supervise Miss Xue and the fourth young master of the Hu family. They were kneeling on the open ground outside the door to reflect on their mistakes. Originally, there was nothing wrong with them. Everything was fine until the sun was directly overhead. Suddenly, Miss Xue screamed loudly, as if she was in great pain."

"but--"

The guard hesitated slightly: "We saw that Miss Xue was clearly fine, but for some reason, she suddenly seemed to be in great pain and screamed shrilly."

"At this moment, Miss Xue has fainted and is lying on the ground unconscious, but she is still making hoarse sounds, as if she is still suffering from pain."

But when they looked around, there was no one else there, and Hu Xianyong was also far away from Xue Wan.

Xue Wan also showed no signs of external injury.
