"Women must be gentle, quiet, virtuous and kind. You are the princess of the Royal King, representing the dignity of the royal family. Go back to the palace and copy the female rules and regulations fifty times. You are not allowed to leave the house until you have finished copying them."

Emperor Mingde emphasized, "I hope this will be the last time I beat up court officials."

"If you do it again, Lao Wu, I will hold you accountable."

"Your son/daughter-in-law obeys your order."

After dealing with these people, Emperor Mingde let out a long breath, and his heavy mood improved a lot.

"It's getting dark, and the palace gates are probably closed. Huai En, send them out."

"Yes."

When we walked out of Funing Palace, the sky outside was already full of stars.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, the imperial teacher snorted at Su Yinyue.

Then he asked Kingfisher to help him with his Qinggong skills and he quickly disappeared into the night.

"You hit a wall, didn't you? I already said that the emperor would protect Ying Qiong."

Su Changyuan's voice sounded with disappointment, "I asked you to gather more evidence and wait until Ying Qiong lost the emperor's favor before taking him down in one fell swoop, but you refused to listen!"

"It's all right now. Ying Qiong left with a swagger. He schemed against you without paying any price."

Su Yinyue respected the old and loved the young, so she didn't argue with him, "Ah? You're right."

When she left just now, Ying Qiong was obviously so seriously injured that she couldn't walk, and could only be half-supported and half-dragged away by Kingfisher.

Maybe once he was out of her sight, Ying Qiong would let the kingfisher carry him.

Ying Qiong didn't pay any price to the emperor, but to her, he paid.

Thinking of this, she gave Su Changyuan a relaxed smile.

"When Ying Qiong left just now, I saw that he looked pale and his legs were weak. I was worried about his health."

"You have served in the same court with him for decades. Since you said so, of course I choose to believe you."

"Ying Qiong is old after all. I'm really worried that something bad will happen to him and damage my good deeds."

Su Changyuan felt a breath stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

Among the three, Su Yinyue was punished to copy books, Ying Qiong suffered minor injuries, and he, the real victim, was demoted two levels! !

Now instead of ridiculing Su Yinyue, he made himself look like a clown.

Su Changyuan clenched his teeth so tightly that his tears were about to fall out.

"Su Yinyue, just keep being so arrogant. Sooner or later someone will take you in!"

Jiang Zaiyu reminded in a deep voice, "Marquis Yongning, you are not allowed to discuss the princess."

Su Changyuan was so angry that he coughed continuously, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

It was curfew time and everything was quiet.

Return to the palace by moonlight.

Chen Li had been waiting at the gate of the main courtyard.

As soon as he saw them come in, he bowed and reported.

"Princess, I have rescued Wang Shun and transferred all the prisoners in the private prison of the Imperial Master's Mansion to the palace."

After Huai En announced the decree, Su Yinyue not only asked Ye Qing to pick a servant with the same internal strength as Dong Que, but also assigned a task to Chen Li.

The servants in the Imperial Master's Mansion were knocked down by her, and the Imperial Master himself was about to enter the palace. This period of time was when the Imperial Master's Mansion was least guarded.

After returning from the Imperial Master's Mansion, Chen Li interrogated Shrike without stopping.

After finding out the location where the real groom Wang Shun was imprisoned, he turned around and led his men to raid the imperial master's private prison.

Su Yinyue praised generously, "Well done!"

Chen Li complimented, "It's all thanks to your thoughtful consideration, Princess."

After seeing Chen Li off, he parted ways with Jiang Zaiyu at the intersection of Cangsongyuan.

After entering the gate of Furong Courtyard, I ran into Yuxiang who came out to greet me after hearing the noise.

Su Yinyue asked her to go to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles.

No one was around.

Huamei had been holding it in for the whole journey, but she couldn't help asking, "Princess, why didn't you mention Shrike to the Emperor just now in the palace?"

She watched the whole process, and Yan Si Dong Que insisted that she didn't know the imperial master.

The princess could have easily tried to break the impasse in another direction, such as Shrike's assassination today.

Su Yinyue asked her to sit down and poured two cups of tea.

He drank it all in one gulp, "Didn't I promise you that I wouldn't let Shrike die?"

Huamei was startled. The hard ice in her heart, which had been reinforced by years of self-hypnosis as a spy, began to crack again.

She tried to keep her face calm, "Are you afraid that the emperor will kill Shrike?"

"Marquis Yongning didn't care about Yan Si's poisoning. Yan Si didn't die. Princess, if you said the same thing as Marquis Yongning, Shrike shouldn't have died either."

Su Yinyue blinked and said, "I do care."

"what?"

Huamei looked confused.

After drinking tea, Su Yinyue walked to the desk and started writing the list of rewards for the guards who had performed well today.

"I remember everything Shrike did to me. If I mention Shrike in front of the emperor, Ying Qiong will shamelessly ask for Shrike back when she sees that I don't care. How will I settle the debt Shrike owes me?"

"How could I not care? I am very vindictive."

Just when Huamei didn't know what to say, Yuxiang walked in with two bowls of chicken noodle soup.

"Princess, the chicken noodle soup is here."

Su Yinyue handed the written list to Yuxiang, "The guards who follow me to Lianxinzhai and the Imperial Master's Mansion today will be rewarded 20 taels each."

"I wrote numbers on the back of the names on the list. Their rewards are added up to twenty taels."

Yuxiang is used to doing this kind of thing.

"Yes."

Seeing Yuxiang placing chicken noodle soup in front of her, Huamei was flattered, "Princess, can I have some too?"

Yu Xiang replied crisply, "If it weren't for you, why would the kitchen make two bowls? Huamei, the princess remembers you."

Huamei covered her stomach which was numb from hunger and her eyes suddenly became blurry.

Wiping away her tears, she bowed her head deeply, "Thank you, Princess."

After eating chicken noodle soup, Su Yinyue had a good sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I heard was the sound of footsteps outside the window, as if someone was sweeping the floor.

Peek out through the gap in the curtains.

It's daybreak.

Get yourself ready and have breakfast.

Three doors of the five large rooms were opened, and golden sunlight poured down, filling the room with brightness.

There is a row of blooming flowers under the eaves, colorful and beautiful, which makes people feel good just by looking at them.

As usual, Su Yinyue wrote down the day's schedule on her desk.

Halfway through writing, Yuxiang walked in.

"Princess, Wang Shun wants to see you. He wants to kowtow to you in person."

I wanted to let him go back, but changed my mind after hearing Yu Xiang's next words.

"He came at dawn, and you were still asleep. He waited outside for an hour and a half."

Su Yinyue paused while writing, "Let him in."

After entering, Wang Shun kowtowed solemnly, tears in his eyes, "I thank the princess for saving my life."

"In the future, if the princess gives you an order, I will do it even if it means risking my life!"

The moment Wang Shun woke up from his coma and found himself in a dungeon, he was filled with despair.

He is not the only groom in the palace. He is just a small figure. The prince and princess are busy with their work. Why would they care about a small figure like him?

It was just bad luck for him to be knocked unconscious and locked up.

But he didn't want to die, so he held his breath and waited and waited, and finally he found a way to survive.

"Since you are here, please go somewhere with me later."

Su Yinyue walked around the desk and motioned for him to follow.

Wang Shun sniffed, got up and followed.

Then she called Chen Li, Yu Xiang and Hua Mei, and they took many turns in the palace and came to a remote place.

Standing in front of the dim underground entrance, he asked anxiously, "Princess, what are you doing here?"

Su Yinyue walked down the entrance and said, "The person pretending to be you is imprisoned downstairs. I'll take you to see him."
