Zhou Ying saw that the Emperor had finished reading and then told him about the situation of Madam Zhao and her daughter and where they were now. She stayed silent once she finished what she had to say.
The Emperor immediately kowtowed and said, âThank you for your guidance, Mother God.â
After saying that, he stood up and kept the evidence. Then, he asked Eunuch Li to bring all the officials to the banquet.
He went to find Xiao Heng and personally went to Madam Zhao. Of course, the Empressâs people were also imprisoned on the spot.
He later also called for Miss Zhao to come over.
After handing them over to Xiao Heng, he returned to the banquet.
When Zhou Ying returned, Mingyu and Gu Wanning were back in their seats. Seeing her return, they asked curiously, âWhy did they look for you just now?â
Zhou Ying didnât hide, and she told them the reason for their visit. Of course, she only told them that Madam Zhao wanted to join forces with her to deal with Lord Zhao.
As for the other stuff she found by herself, she didnât mention it one bit.
âYou didnât agree, did you?â Gu Wanning asked.
âIâm not stupid. To put it bluntly, sheâs planning to use me. Of course, I wonât be stupid enough to let her take advantage of that.
âBesides, when she held power back then, she didnât stop Zhao Xiuying from snatching Ziyiâs husband. Why should I help her now?â
âItâs right for you to reject her.
âTo be honest, sheâs just a backstabber. Back then, she enjoyed everything with a clear conscience.
âNow that itâs her turn to fall from grace, she wanted to turn around and stab her husband.
âBelieve it or not, if you agree, she will blame you if anything happens in the future.â
Zhou Ying nodded in agreement. At this time, Eunuch Li had already walked in with a group of officials.
However, they did not disperse immediately. After discussing something for a while, they went back to their seats.
Mingyu immediately got up and said, âAlright, I have to go back immediately.â
She returned to her seat in King Anâs Imperial Residence.
Gu Chengrui sat down and asked, âAre you guys okay? Did you get bullied?â
âDonât worry. With Princess Mingyu around, no one will dare to cause trouble for us.â
âYeah, donât worry, cousin. Weâre fine. It must be hard on you to deal with so many people. Hurry up and drink some tea.â After Gu Wanning finished speaking, she took a teacup and poured him some tea.
âThank you.â Gu Chengrui thanked her and continued, âActually, itâs nothing much. Itâs just letting them know about some new farming techniques.
âI will organize it into a booklet later. When the time comes, everyone will have a copy, so I donât have to explain it to them individually.â
âThis is a good idea. If it works, it can be passed down from generation to generation. Iâll help you with that later.â
âAlright, letâs write together.â
Gu Wanning looked at them and was envious of their relationship, but she knew it would never happen to her.
She could only hope that she could continue to get along with her husband in the future.
Soon, the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager rushed over. After bowing, everyone sat down, and the Emperor quickly announced, âWeâve discussed most of what we need to do before this.
âWhen you return, remember to write a proposal into a memorial and submit it to me.
âRemember, everyone only has two missions this year.
âFirst, promote food as soon as possible so that starving isnât a thing as soon as possible.
âSecondly, encourage the birth of children. Women who were not married at the age of eighteen could be forced to marry.â
âWe will obey.â Everyone immediately replied. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, the banquet has started. Everyone, have a good meal today and let us know how greenhouse vegetables taste.â After the Emperor finished speaking, he asked Eunuch Li to arrange for the dishes to be served..
