Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Lin Yushu looked up at this unusual firework, and a trace of cold sweat oozed out of the palms of her hands.

The blooming fireworks suddenly lit up the night sky, like a bright piece of rice paper slowly unfolding, and then something happened that made everyone drop their jaws.

It seemed as if an invisible brush was writing ink-colored words on the rice paper, and the words gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"That is... is..."

"It's the word 'Yan'!"

Lin Yushu let out a long breath. She didn't expect that Shen Mutang, who seemed unreliable, was surprisingly reliable.

As the fireworks slowly faded, the light shining on everyone's faces dimmed, and darkness enveloped the surroundings once again.

It seemed that the eunuch who was setting off the fireworks also discovered that there was something wrong with the previous firework, so he stopped setting off any more.

The fireworks display came to an abrupt end.

The word "Yan" seemed to still be reflected in Emperor Ming's dark eyes, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

"By the way, the palace where the Sixth Princess lives is just northeast of the Imperial Palace."

"The place where the golden deer walked before his death is also where the Sixth Princess is!"

"I heard that the Sixth Princess has taken a fancy to the General of the Cavalry and has been obsessed with him all day long. This must be what the Imperial Master said about the rise of a demon woman!"

……

Nan Huaishuo couldn't believe what he saw. How could it be like this?

The fireworks were arranged by Gu Zhi himself. It was clearly the character "姝", so how come it became "嫣"?

He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Yushu. In the dim light, Nan Huaishu clearly saw Lin Yushu curling her lips at him with a mocking smile.

It was her! She was the one who tampered with the fireworks!

Nan Yanran was already frightened and froze. She threw herself at Emperor Ming’s feet and kowtowed twice.

"Father, please don't believe the slander. How could my daughter be a witch? Someone must have framed her!"

Emperor Ming lowered his head and looked at the Sixth Princess kneeling at his feet. There was scrutiny, consideration, hesitation, and even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but there was no father's love for his daughter.

Emperor Ming knew that he could not kill Nan Yanran immediately, because in the hearts of the people he had always been a benevolent and wise monarch. Killing a legitimate princess would damage the reputation of the royal family.

Emperor Ming looked at Taoist Lingxu beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Master, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"The evil woman who brought disaster to the country is only harmful to the fate of our Great Zhou. Emperor Ming can send the Sixth Princess far away from the Great Zhou. As long as she is not in the Great Zhou, she will not bring disaster to the world."

"You! You stinking Taoist priest, what nonsense are you talking about? Who on earth bribed you to say that?!"

Nan Yanran rushed towards Taoist Lingxu like a madman, but was held down by the imperial guards who had been guarding her.

Sent out of Da Zhou? Not within Da Zhou?

Emperor Ming thought for a moment, then saw the envoy from Northern Liao not far away. A light flashed through his mind, and then he laughed heartily.

"Let go of the princess. Yanran is my legitimate princess. How could she be a witch who brings disaster to the country? Stop talking nonsense."

Only Emperor Ming and Nan Yanran heard what Taoist Lingxu said just now, but everyone saw Nan Yanran cursing Taoist Lingxu like a mad dog, and they were already certain that Nan Yanran was the evil woman who brought disaster to the country.

However, since Emperor Ming was unwilling to admit it, it meant that he did not want to damage the reputation of the royal family.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement tacitly and dared not discuss anything further.

Nan Yanran looked in disbelief at Emperor Ming who was helping her up. She was so moved that she almost cried. It turned out that her father loved her!

"The Sixth Princess was frightened, so she was sent back to the palace to rest. She should take good care of herself in the next few days and not leave the palace unless necessary."

Nan Yanran's feeling of being touched disappeared instantly. Was this putting her under house arrest? !

Unfortunately, before she could protest again, Emperor Ming cast a cold gaze over to her. His icy look forced her to shut her mouth and she obediently followed the guards away.

The fireworks continued to be set off and the St. Birthday Celebration ended with laughter and joy.

On the carriage back home, Leng Dai couldn't help but ask Lin Yushu.

"Miss, how did that firework do that?"

"There is a kind of insect called the Gray Gu, which likes to eat burning coal slag and sawdust. When fireworks are made, the black powder is arranged and bundled according to the order and the amount of burning. As long as the Gray Gu and sawdust are placed in the corresponding black powder bag, when the fireworks burn and bloom, the Gray Gu will devour the burning sawdust."

And in the process of devouring, it will appear in the sky tonight, like ink writing on rice paper.

It looks extremely magical, but in fact it is only because few people in the Great Zhou understand Gu.

Could it be that someone from the Dongwu Kingdom came to Nan Huaishuo's side?

Leng Dai understood, and then asked in confusion, "Then what did you ask Mr. Shen to do?"

"I asked him to make a poison called Yin Gu San, which can draw out the gray Gu from the black powder bag, and then rearrange them with the sawdust and put them in other black powder bags, changing the handwriting."

Fortunately, in order to ensure the legibility of the handwriting, Nan Huaishuo put enough ash Gu into the black powder bag. Otherwise, the character "姝" would have obviously fewer strokes than "嫣", and without enough ash Gu, the change would not have been successful.

Originally, Lin Yushu only guessed that they would tamper with the gunpowder in the fireworks, such as replacing the black powder with sand, so that words would appear on the fireworks blooming in the night sky.

But after Mu Shang's inspection, he asked Leng Dai to bring back a little bit of black gunpowder for Lin Yushu to examine, which allowed her to discover the clue.

It has to be said that Nan Huaishuo's arrangement was extremely ingenious. The ash poison was as small as sand, and after the fireworks burned out, no trace of it could be found.

Moreover, it is just an ordinary replacement of black powder bag. How can it compare to slowly "writing" words on a piece of clear rice paper, which is more like a miracle sent down by God.

Leng Dai nodded again, "However, how come Mr. Shen was not discovered?"

Lin Yushu didn't say anything. Of course, it was Nan Rongjing who was protecting her. Could it be that Nan Rongjing really...

Before Lin Yushu could think clearly, Leng Dai's voice rang out again.

"What do you want the Night Pearl for, Miss?"

Lin Yushu smiled and nodded Leng Dai's head. She was really curious.

"If the fireworks don't bloom according to my arrangement, I will use this night-shining pearl to frame Nan Huaishuo and prove that he tried to bribe Taoist Lingxu."

As long as Emperor Ming is shaken by the words of the Imperial Observatory and Taoist Lingxu, her life can be saved!

As long as you are alive, there is a chance to turn things around.

This is the last resort she has for herself. Even if it will implicate Taoist Lingxu, Lin Yushu will never show excessive love in order to save her life.

After listening to this, Leng Dai gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration on her face.

"Great! Really great! If the young lady were a man, she would definitely have the talent to be a ruler!"

Lin Yushu smiled but said nothing. As a woman, she was always subject to many restrictions. Even if she had extraordinary talent, she could only live in the backyard and spend her life doing trivial things.

She is not a genius, but in her previous life, she had a good opportunity to display her talents in order to assist Nan Huaishuo in learning state management strategies and ways of governing a country.

Unfortunately, she only served as queen for a little over a year, helping Nan Huaishuo to stabilize the government and deal with internal and external troubles. Then she was completely imprisoned and eventually died in the harem.

Now think about it, considering how much Yinan Huaishuo hated her, how could he tolerate a woman in the inner house whom he looked down upon, having such superb means of governing the country? He hated and feared her, which was one of the reasons why he had to kill her...

Lin Yushu shook her head, stopped thinking about the past, and thought about the current situation again.

This time, she had to thank Nan Huaishuo, because she was able to use Nan Huaishuo's strengths to her advantage and resolve the issue of the marriage. At the same time, she resolved the issue of Nan Yanran, and made Nan Huaishuo lose Nan Yanran's help in the future. She killed three birds with one stone!

I think within three days, once Emperor Ming confirms that no one has tampered with the fireworks, the decree to send Nan Yanran to marry in Northern Liao will be issued...
