The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Chapter 360 Autumn Examination Results Announced

Marquis Mingyi is the Empress's younger brother, and the Empress is Jiang Zaiyu's biological mother. Normally, Su Yinyue should call Marquis Mingyi uncle.

The royal family is the most rule-abiding and also the least rule-abiding family in the world.

The emperor is the ruler, and his son is also the ruler.

Marquis Mingyi is a minister, and as a sign of respect and intimacy, Su Yinyue can call Marquis Mingyi uncle.

But once Marquis Mingyi took the initiative to ask for it, the nature of the situation changed.

In addition, the queen had no son. If Marquis Mingyi dared to pay a visit to Concubine Zhao, Emperor Mingde would suspect him of forming a clique for personal gain.

The reason why Marquis Mingyi was able to gain a foothold in the court was not only due to the Queen's nepotism, but most importantly, he always kept his distance from the princes.

"Your aunt is a straightforward person with no bad intentions. I hope the princess will forgive me if I have offended you." Marquis Mingyi said, "The royal concubine is busy, so we will not disturb her."

"We are here today to discuss important matters with the princess. Please ask the princess to dismiss your attendants."

Su Yinyue raised her eyelids and said, "Everyone present here is my confidant. Marquis Mingyi, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Having hit a snag, Marquis Mingyi's eyes darkened.

Dou's words and actions just now were just their strategy. They failed to control Su Yinyue, so they had to be gentle.

"I came here today because of the request of Xi Yan Tie Envoy," Marquis Mingyi stroked his beard and said slowly, "Xi Yan Tie Envoy said that if the princess could show some mercy and let him go once, he would reward her handsomely."

Su Yinyue pretended not to know, "I don't understand what Marquis Mingyi said. It's not my place as a woman to interfere in court affairs."

Dou's lingering anger was stagnant in her chest. She said in a gloomy tone, "Mu Hexuan's three-year term has just expired. How could he start a fight against a third-rank official as soon as he returned to the capital without anyone's permission?"

Su Yinyue raised her eyelids and asked, "How did this princess know about Mu Hexuan's affairs?"

"Princess Yu, we are all smart people, there is no point in pretending to be stupid." Marquis Mingyi said in a deep voice, "Qunfang Pavilion can be given to you, but you have crossed the line by moving the Salt and Iron Envoy."

Sensing his hostility, Huamei quietly placed her hand on the dagger at her waist.

Su Yinyue gave her a reassuring look, then half leaned on the armrest, "Does Marquis Mingyi want to take advantage of the prince's absence to bully a weak woman like me?"

The veins on Marquis Mingyi's forehead twitched, and he felt like he had punched cotton.

If Princess Yu was really a weak woman, things would be easier.

At least he wouldn't stand at the door with his wife in the middle of winter waiting for her to meet him.

From then on, no matter what Marquis Mingyi and his wife said, Su Yinyue was able to refute them intact, which made Marquis Mingyi, who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, completely helpless.

Finally, he left with Dou Shi, saying "take care of yourself".

The next afternoon, it was Master Baiyun's turn to teach martial arts.

Just as Su Yinyue got ready, the doorman led Ruyi in hurriedly.

Ruyi bowed and saluted, "Princess, the Royal Concubine wants you to enter the palace immediately."

"what's up?"

Ruyi looked at Master Baiyun hesitantly. She had never seen this person in the palace.

Master Baiyun understood and was about to say that the teaching was over for today and would be made up later, when she heard Su Yinyue say to Ruyi, "Just say it."

Ruyi pinched her palms, a little nervous, "This morning, Censor Xiao reported to the Emperor that you, Princess, bought the Qunfang Pavilion and associated with low-class prostitutes. Your behavior was dissolute and humiliating to the Royal Family. I'm afraid you may have an unfaithful heart towards the Prince."

"The Emperor sent someone to summon the Empress to Funing Palace and gave her a severe reprimand. As soon as the Empress returned to Changxin Palace, he asked me to leave the palace and invite the Princess to come in."

Concubine Zhao was innocently implicated by Su Yinyue, and letting her enter the palace was obviously to hold her accountable.

Seeing that Su Yinyue looked unhappy, Ruyi swallowed and added, "Marquis Mingyi's original surname was Xiao, and Censor Xiao is his cousin from a branch family."

"That old guy, Marquis Mingyi, couldn't win an argument with me, so he reported me?" Su Yinyue laughed angrily, "Is he trying to show off that he has a big mouth?"

"Jasmine, help me dress up. I will go to the palace right away."

After changing her clothes and combing her hair, Su Yinyue hurriedly got on the carriage and headed for the palace.

Halfway through the journey, the coachman urgently tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.

Before the coachman spoke, Su Yinyue, who was thinking with her eyes closed, heard the noise outside first.

Jasmine lifted the curtain to check, "Princess, there are many refugees gathered on the street."

"Princess, I will go down and take a look."

After saying this, Huamei jumped off the carriage.

After a while, he returned to the carriage and reported to Su Yinyue, "They are not refugees. They are the people of the capital who were implicated by Sun Jun's rebellion."

"Sun Jun instigated 300,000 refugees to loot the capital for most of the day, leaving them homeless and forced to beg on the streets."

"It just so happened that the people in the carriage ahead were giving out silver, which attracted them to gather here."

Su Yinyue lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a group of ragged people surrounded the two carriages.

There was a huge crowd of people, blocking the road ahead, and the alleys on both sides of the street were still crowded.

They shivered in the cold wind, their bodies turning blue from the cold.

Su Yinyue glanced at the people who were grateful for the gift of silver and asked, "Are there many people in the capital who were affected by the disaster?"

"A lot," Jasmine said truthfully, "They dared to rob the shops in the palace, and even more people were robbed."

"I estimate that there are about 50,000 to 60,000 people."

Su Yinyue believed that she was not capable of handling the livelihoods of fifty or sixty thousand people.

"It is the Anjiyuan's responsibility to provide relief to the poor and sick. I will send someone to ask about the reason tomorrow."

After giving the order, Su Yinyue looked at a carriage in front and said, "Tell the person who gave the silver to go somewhere else and not block the traffic on the street."

The groom took the order and stepped forward.

Su Yinyue lowered the car curtain and waited for the road to be cleared.

At this moment, a burst of festive drum music forcefully interrupted the noisy crowd.

Su Yinyue could vaguely hear the sound of "Autumn Examination Results Announced" and was surprised, "Autumn Examination in winter?"

Ruyi explained, "The Queen passed away and the whole country mourned. As a result, the autumn imperial examination was postponed for two months."

While they were chatting, the coachman who was negotiating with the carriage in front came back to report, "Princess, the person sitting in the carriage in front is Madam Fang of the Marquis of Guangyang Mansion."

Fang Qingmai?

"Madam Fang said she had no intention of stopping the princess and will come to apologize tomorrow."

The groom paused, and seeing that Su Yinyue didn't say anything, he continued, "She also said she would leave soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage in front slowly moved.

Seeing this, the coachman sat on the edge of the carriage, pulled the reins, and the carriage was back on the road.

The sound of gongs and drums announcing the results of the Autumn Examination was getting closer and closer. Su Yinyue was curious about who had passed the Autumn Examination, so she lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.

Suddenly, my eyes met with Liu Jun who was passing by.

The people surrounding Liu Jun were all congratulating him on being on the list.

When Liu Jun recognized her, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and wanted to go forward and greet her.

Before he could finish his words, he saw Su Yinyue had already lowered the curtain, so he had to give up.

A friend noticed this and said, "That's the carriage of Prince Yu's Palace. Brother Liu, do you know anyone from Prince Yu's Palace..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned eagerly towards Liu Jun, "How could I forget that Princess Yu is the daughter of Marquis Yongning, and Brother Liu, you are Marquis Yongning's nephew. So, you and Princess Yu are cousins..."
