Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 426 Magnolia Forest
In the 17th year of the Liang Dynasty, during a prosperous and peaceful era, Prince Yuan Jin of Donghai led 100,000 bandits to force the palace to rebel, but failed and he committed suicide.

The bandit general Xin Jusong died by hitting his head against the wall in the dungeon and followed his master.

One hundred thousand bandits refused to be incorporated and were detained by the court in the mines of Lingnan.

The day after Prince Yuanjin's rebellion, Emperor Chongwen Minghe died in Sulong Palace and passed the throne to the fifth prince Mingle, who ascended the throne on a chosen day.

Before Mingle ascended the throne, he issued an edict, announcing that Yu Ruyi, the Holy Lord of Heaven, would enter the palace to serve as regent. Feeling grateful for the Yu family's hard work and money in the flood, he specially invited the Yu family to move back to the capital.

The dam built by the Yu clan was not named the Twenty-Four-Li Long Dam, but simply called the "Mountain and Water Jade Dam".

After the incident, Princess Fanlan of Ming left the palace again and rushed to the Ming royal family's ancestral temple in Xiangshan, vowing never to leave.

Mei Chengting resigned from his official position and went to the side courtyard outside the Mei family's ancestral tomb at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.

Outside the side courtyard, there are hundreds of magnolia trees planted. It is now the season when magnolias are in full bloom. The white flowers are alluring with fragrance, accompanied by the smell of fresh soil after the rain. Yin Luo smells it and feels a sense of comfort deep in his memory.

The man in black fetched a bucket of water and was about to go back to the yard when he saw the girl in red coming towards him.

She returned to the way she was when they first met, wearing the aqua red wide-sleeved dress embroidered with green lotus. Her brows were no longer as frowned as before, as if she had endless thoughts on her mind.

"Girl Yin." Mei Chengting was a little surprised, thinking that she came to visit him. He wiped his hands and wanted to invite her back to the yard to eat some magnolia cake, but he didn't say the words yet.

Yin Luo looked up at the lush magnolia trees of different sizes, all of which were in bloom.

"Uncle Mei, when I was a kid, my father told me that when a person feels guilty, he will keep thinking about the thing that made him feel guilty, and then do some boring things that cannot change the facts to comfort himself. Uncle Mei, is this the kind of tree you come to when you feel guilty?"

Mei Chengting was stunned by her question. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "I am sorry for your father and you..."

"I came here today because I want to know something." Yin Luo didn't want to hear his apology.

Mei Chengting looked at her, waiting for her next words.

"What did you do in Lingzhou?" Yin Luo said calmly, "Given my aunt's martial arts and character, how could she be locked up in the stone prison? I guess this matter has something to do with you. Where are Officer Zhou's wife and daughter?"

Mei Chengting inhaled and exhaled, "That day, it was Fan Lan who went to the stone prison for me. I settled Officer Zhou's wife and daughter in Qinhuai. Now they have opened a textile business and are no longer in danger of their lives."

"To be honest, on the day Officer Zhou died, Chi Linjing and I found my aunt's peony needles next to his body."

Mei Chengting's fingers moved slightly, "It wasn't her. The Lingzhou mob riot was actually a fabrication. I asked Officer Zhou to spread the news. Fan Lan knew something was wrong and went to interrogate Officer Zhou for the truth that night. I was eavesdropping on the beam at the time. Seeing Zhou Anyue's mouth loosen, I was worried that he would tell Fan Lan about me, so I drew my sword and killed him. Fan Lan's golden needle was aimed at me on the roof. Later I thought about it, she seemed to have known it was me, otherwise she wouldn't have left after just one needle."

"Uncle Mei, you are amazing." Yin Luo smiled, "You hid it very well. If it wasn't for some strange mistake, we would have found Ming Jin's body in the suburbs of Baizhou Wanli Mountain. She was holding a piece of dead wood-colored cloth in her hand. I would never have thought that you were such a person."

"What did you say? Princess Mingjin, holding a dead wood-colored cloth in your hand?" Mei Chengting was puzzled.

"That's right, when you carried her body back to the secret room in your house, didn't you notice it?" Yin Luo suddenly paused when he said this.

Mei Chengting understood it immediately, "Ming Zhidu is very meticulous and has done this to get others to stand up for Ming Jin... But it was indeed me who killed Princess Ming Jin by mistake. I feel guilty towards the Ming royal family."

Yin Luo paused for two seconds, turned around and walked out of the magnolia forest without saying another word.

At the end of the woods, the young man in green robe was leaning against a tree, waiting for her to come out as before.

"What's the matter? Did he say it?" He raised his hand and brushed the leaves off her shoulders.

"It's the same as we expected." Yin Luo curved his lips, "Never mind, it's all in the past. Officer Zhou's wife and daughter were settled in Qinhuai to do textile business. I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me about this. Oh, yes, I heard that A Yu sent a message yesterday?" "Yes, he said they found out that the water rash epidemic in Jiangnan was caused by the termites in the wood being fed with poison. Yu Ruyi led his men to capture a fleeing bandit from the East China Sea, but the blind cat pretended to be a dead mouse. The captured bandit was a local from the Sijiang area, named A Jin. He loved his hometown, and he told Yu Ruyi everything he asked."

Yin Luo looked curiously into Chi Linjing's peach blossom eyes, and then listened to him say: "Ah Jin said that in the East Sea bandit camp, there is a gentleman with the surname Duanmu."

"Doctor Duanmu?" Yin Luo walked side by side with him. "Did he create the epidemic? He caused this rash? It really makes me angry! He was originally the imperial physician in the palace, how could he help the tyrant to commit atrocities? Helping Prince Yuanjin to do such a bad thing? Did Yu Ruyi send someone to find Doctor Duanmu?"

"Of course he went. You know his temper. He led his men to wait in Xiongci Ridge for a night and finally found Duanmu. Now he should be taking him to travel around Jiangnan to detoxify the infected people in various cities, right?"

Yin Luo laughed. The weight that had been weighing on her for too long was finally lightened. She felt like she was reborn. Her usually cold face showed some anticipation. "It's finally over. I hope Daliang will be peaceful in the future."

Chi Linjing nodded in agreement, "There is another good news."

"What is it?"

"Bu Yu, Gu Shanghua and Chang Yinglian have found a series of evidence of crimes committed by the Zhudan King and his son, such as reselling arms and abducting women. Moreover, Bu Yu also found a handwritten letter from Prince Zhengren in the residence of an old minister in the royal court. In the letter, he instigated the old minister to support them to ascend the throne... Isn't that stupid? I guess he was drunk when he wrote this letter."

"Then what? How did Bu Yu deal with it?" Yin Luo smiled with difficulty.

Chi Linjing understood the cunning in her eyes, "What can Bu Yu do? According to the laws of Southern Xia, this branch of the clan was exiled to the Valley of the Dead. However," his eyes were as cunning as Yin Luo's, "Hua Shanggu kidnapped King Zhudan and his son on the way."

There was no need to say more. Yin Luo smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Good job."

The red-dressed girl walked briskly. She touched her empty stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go to Tingxianlou to find Nie Renxi for something delicious?"

"Okay, he has already prepared a banquet and said he wants to celebrate our success."

The long-lost sunny day was bright, and the mottled shadows of the flowers were reflected on the face of the young man in green. His eyelashes were long and slender, like the flapping wings of a cicada in the light. His slightly flushed eyelids drooped, and he looked at Yin Luo affectionately. She did not dodge, "Then... when will you return to Nanxia?"

"Almost there." Chi Linjing's smile deepened, "Wait until I finish the last thing."

"What's the matter? Do you need my help?" Yin Luo came over.

"Guess." The man in green robe left her with a big question and walked away.

"Chi Linjing, please tell me!"

"Guess first."

"I won't guess!"

"Then just wait."

"Why?"

"Won't we know in a few days?" Chi Linjing was unfathomable.

Yin Luo rolled his eyes at him.

The magnolia forest was covered with falling flowers due to the wind, and the petals swirled around the two people, returning to dust amid the sounds of their playfulness.

For example, in the past fourteen years, the countless disturbances in Daliang were ultimately buried in the history books called the past.
