Chapter 1090: 1090

They couldn’t find Xi Jin that night. Feng Tianlan felt uneasy not knowing where he had gone. She was afraid that he might commit suicide. After all, he did such a thing towards the person he cared for the most. It wouldn’t be surprising if he really went crazy.

Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying’s dead bodies couldn’t be separated from each other. The emperor ordered someone to throw them straight into an unmarked mass grave. Shen Yunya’s crime included disrupting the royal linage and killing a royal grandchild. Jiang Ying and her fell out and became enemies which resulted in her getting bitten to death by him in the end.

On August 28th, Shen Qingdai’s funeral was hosted by Shen Liang, and was her body was buried in the Shen Family’s ancestral grave.

Feng Tianlan looked at the tombstone in front of her. The name ‘Shen Qingdai’ was written on it prominently yet it looked depressing. All these feuds of her past life were finally over. Her life would probably get better from now on.

Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan’s hand tightly. He didn’t say much. He just stayed quietly by her side. After all, the thing she needed the most right now was his company.

“Let’s go.” Feng Tianlan glanced at Shen Borui and his wife’s tombstones that were beside hers. Since they didn’t die, there was no need for her to burn incense for them. In fact, she should destroy their graves. After all, these were just tombs containing their personal items.

SI Mobai reached out and fixed her hair that had been messed up by the autumn wind with the hand that was not holding hers.

Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him while squinting her eyes. “I am fine. My body is finally found and has been buried. All my past grudges are finally resolved. I am only Feng Tianlan now.”

“Uh-huh. Let’s go home.” Si Mobai looked at her with a warm gaze. He wanted to give her the warmth she deserved since she had gone through all these cruel experiences. Therefore, he wanted to do his very best to make her feel his love.

They left the Shen Family’s ancestral grave and went back to Si Feng Pavilion. Azurite came forward in a hurry. “Miss, people from the palace said that the people from Shang Institution have entered the palace. They seemed to have come to talk about Shen Yunya’s death.”

“Shang Institution?” Feng Tianlan frowned. Suddenly, she realized something. Today was August 28th. It was the day when the people of Shang Institution would come out to recruit new disciples. Shen Yunya had once been a disciple of Shang Institution. Therefore, it was natural for her to have a master.

After hearing what Azurite said, Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at Si Mobai. The two of them turned around and entered the palace.

The tired and worried emperor and empress were sitting in the main hall of the East Palace. Luo Shiyun, who had just suffered a miscarriage, was forced to stand there as well. Sitting at the bottom left was a middle-aged man with a goatee who didn’t look wretched at all but rather elegant instead. A fine young man was sitting next to him. His snake-like eyes made one feel nervous.

This middle-aged man was an alchemist from Shang Institution. He was also Shen Yunya’s master. His name was Deng Hu. The person beside him was his chief disciple, who was also Shen Yunya’s eldest senior brother, Weng Yue.

“My disciple died innocently. She even died on the day before I came out of Shang Institution. How is the emperor going to explain this to me?” Deng Hu raised his head and stared at the emperor in disdain. Although he was sitting below the emperor, it was as if he was looking down at him from above.

The emperor of Dongshu Nation was sitting upright rigidly. “She was one of my people before she even became Supreme Deng’s disciple. Moreover, she was also my daughter-in-law. Everything I did is known to everyone in the country. Furthermore, she was killed by Jiang Ying. I can’t think of any explanation to give Supreme Deng regarding her death.”

“I have no interest in knowing all these details. I just need an explanation for her death. I don’t want to know the truth behind why she died either. I just want the emperor to hand over the person who murdered Ya’er. Otherwise, I won’t let this matter go so easily.” Deng Hu was threatening the emperor. Shen Yunya was a rare genius in alchemy. How could he not find her death a pity?
