THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT

CHAPTERS 100. Perfect plan

In the morning as Emperor Wei prepared to attend the morning meeting with the officials in the palace hall, Eunuch Cao informed the arrival of Queen Wen.

Queen Wen came when the day was not yet light. Of course Eunuch Cao could not have awakened Emperor Wei to meet Queen Wen.

Eunuch Cao asked Queen Wen to return to his palace, but Queen Wen refused and said there was important matter to be conveyed to Emperor Wei.

Queen Wen himself took the initiative to wait outside the room for several hours, regardless of the cold weather.

Emperor Wei agreed to meet Queen Wen out of curiosity what important things Queen Wen wanted to convey.

Emperor Wei was surprised to see the pale and lethargic face of Queen Wen. In addition, Queen Wen's footsteps looked weak and helpless due to waiting outside for too long.

Queen Wen saluted and greeted Emperor Wei. "Good morning, Emperor Wei!"

"What's important you want to say?" asked Emperor Wei without further ado.

"Sorry, Emperor Wei! Last night there was a fire in Princess Tang Yan's room. The palace soldiers managed to extinguish the blaze, but Princess Tang Yan is already dead," Queen Wen replied.

"Why can't Princess Tang Yan escape from her room during a fire?"

"I don't know what's going on in the room. In addition to Princess Tang Yan's corpse, another man's body was also found in the room. That man is not a bodyguard from my palace."

Emperor Wen immediately ordered Xu Feng, the head of the palace guard to conduct an investigation in Queen Wen's Palace thoroughly. Even Physician Huo was also called in to inspect the two corpses.

Today's palace morning meeting was canceled by Emperor Wei. Emperor Wei and Queen Wen waited for a report from Xu Feng in the palace hall.

An hour later, Xu Feng walked into the palace hall followed by Physician Huo. Behind the two of them was a soldier who lifted two palanquins containing the corpse of Princess Tang Yan and the corpse of fake Eunuch Ma. The two bodies were tightly covered in white cloth.

The two corpses had already been lifted out of the chamber by the palace soldiers of Queen Wen when Xu Feng arrived there. Xu Feng immediately conducted a thorough investigation in the room, while Physician Huo inspected the two corpses.

Both bodies are in a sad and terrible state so that it is not clear the true identity of the two bodies.

Even so, Tabib Huo made sure the two bodies were both men and women. Physician Huo informed Xu Feng of the results of his examination so that Xu Feng checked the identity of every bodyguard in Queen Wen's palace.

During this time Physician Huo had absolutely no idea of the true identity of Eunuch Ma was a normal man so the examinations carried out by Xu Feng and the bodyguards put aside the eunuchs.

"Emperor Wei! The servant found these two jade inside the burning room. These two jades proved the true identity of the two corpses!" said Xu Feng while holding out the two jade pieces that were in his hands.

Eunuch Cao walked up to Xu Feng and took the two jade pieces, then handed them over to Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei closely observed the two jade pieces that had already been partially burned.

"Who is the owner of these two jades?" ask Emperor Wei.

"Hamba visits Prince Tang Jin in the capital's prison. Prince Tang Jin had the same jade as one of those jades. The servant also interrogated Princess Tang Yan's two personal servants, who were locked up by General Liu Bei in another prison cell. They claimed that the other jade belonged to a Southern Tang Kingdom warrior," Xu Feng replied at length.

Prince Tang Jin was already blind so Xu Feng could not show the jade. Xu Feng inspected Prince Tang Jin's clothes and found the same jade there. The jade was the identity of a descendant of Emperor Tang.

Eunuch Ma took the jade from the body of one of Prince Tang Jin's personal bodyguards disguised as eunuchs and ended up being killed by it due to his unworthy deeds with Wei Wu Xian and Princess Tang Yan.

***

Emperor Wei was pensively pensive after hearing Xu Feng's report. There were two possibilities appearing in his mind at the moment.

The first possibility was that those two corpses were indeed Princess Tang Yan and the Southern Tang Kingdom warrior, indeed, while the second possibility was that the two corpses were merely scapegoats that Princess Tang Yan had prepared to escape from the Wei Kingdom.

Princess Tang Yan wanted to escape because she did not want to suffer the same fate as Prince Tang Jin, who ended up in prison for life.

"I will send a letter to Emperor Tang regarding the death of Princess Tang Yan. If in two days no representative from the Southern Tang Kingdom comes to take home Princess Tang Yan's corpse, you take care of her body as well as you take care of the other!" emperor Wei's orders to Xu Feng.

"Okay, Emperor Wei! Servant understands!"

If it was true that the woman's corpse was Princess Tang Yan, Emperor Wei had already kindly given Emperor Tang the opportunity to take home Princess Tang Yan's corpse and bury her properly.

"Queen Wen! Go home and rest now. I will not punish you for the death of Princess Tang Yan!"

"Thank you Emperor Wei's generosity!" said Queen Wen with a trembling voice and a pair of teary eyes.

A feeling of pity and heartlessness arose in Emperor Wei towards Queen Wen, but Emperor Wei tried to be calm.

Queen Wen deliberately stepped weakly and helplessly as she walked out of Emperor Wei's room. A faint smile adorned at the corner of her lips as Queen Wen had already gone far away leaving the palace of Emperor Wei.

It was true that her legs ached from standing for a few hours outside to wait for Emperor Wei, but it was all part of Queen Wen's perfect plan.

The result of Queen Wen's perfect plan was that Princess Tang Yan's death would not be implicated with her, whereas Eunuch Ma died without leaving any trace.

The successive defeats of the Western Wu Kingdom forces in Chang An City made Queen Wen not want to continue cooperation with them anymore.

Eunuch Ma's only liaison between Queen Wen and the Southern Tang Kingdom was dead so there would be no evidence regarding their cooperation and this was very beneficial for Queen Wen.
