The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Today, Xiang Chun received some critical news and, ignoring her appearance, rushed into Gu Youyou’s pharmacy to tell her about the earth-shattering event.

"What’s the hurry for running like this? There’s water on the table, catch your breath before you speak."

Panting heavily, Xiang Chun poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down.

She said, "It’s said that the Emperor found out the Princess was an imposter and was furious. She has already been stripped of her imperial family membership and directly expelled from Beijing."

"Is that so?" Gu Youyou put down her work and turned around, "Considering she impersonated an heir, and they didn’t behead her, just stripped her of her family status and expelled her from Beijing?"

"Impersonating an heir is a crime punishable by death. However, because she was quite young at the time, and she doesn’t even remember anything from before she was three, everyone said such a small child must have been used by others. The fault was not hers. The Emperor raised her, and there was some affection, so in his kindness, he didn’t have her killed, just expelled her from Beijing."

Gu Youyou nodded blankly, thinking that even if not sentenced to death, they should have at least detained her to investigate who was behind the incident from those years before deciding on her punishment. Why did they just let her go?

But the thoughts of the Imperial Family are not always ones that can be derived from common reasoning.
