Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 959

At the same time as the publication of Yijing Weekly, Emperor Mingde officially issued a series of decrees. Any individual or group that manufactured and sold Fushou Cream would be punished with the highest penalty, which was Lingchi, once it was found.

All officials are prohibited from touching the elixir of life. Those with minor offenses will be dismissed from their posts and imprisoned; those with serious offenses will be exiled along with their entire family.

The laws of the Northern Wing clearly stipulate that anyone who smokes Fu Shou Gao will be imprisoned and punished accordingly; it is also strictly forbidden for candidates who have smoked Fu Shou Gao to participate in the civil and military examinations, thus ending their official careers and making it hopeless for them to become officials.

In this way, Beiyi officially listed Fu Shou Gao as a banned item.

At the same time, the imperial court also set up a channel for officials to report themselves in the Northern Propaganda Department. Any official who reported himself within one month would not be held accountable and would only need to cooperate with the imperial court for unified treatment.

Within two days of the announcement of this special policy, many officials volunteered to join the campaign. This volunteering effortlessly disintegrated the Empress Dowager's previously unbreakable camp.

Emperor Mingde looked at the list and couldn't help but feel terrified. "Fortunately, we discovered it early. If it had spread, what would have happened?"

Fortunately, most of the people on the list are old officials from the Empress Dowager's camp.

Emperor Mingde waved his pen and ordered the old ministers to stay at home for treatment, and their family members were not allowed to go out without reason.

The most important thing is to stabilize the complicated court first. We must seek stability at this time.

However, on the day when Yijing Weekly was released, the East Feather Guard and the West Shadow Guard jointly enforced the law, broke into Li's mansion and seized a large amount of longevity cream.

Shi Anxia took advantage of this opportunity and, under Yin Feng's arrangement, sneaked into Shi Anrou's residence without anyone noticing.

When she appeared dressed as a servant, Shi Anrou was eating sour plums.

Yin Feng bowed to Shi Anxia and said goodbye, "Master, I will be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call me."

Shi Anxia nodded.

Only then did Shi Anrou realize that the girl named Yinfeng among the serving maids was actually Shi Anxia's woman.

She had never had direct contact with the people who protected her in the mansion. That day, she suddenly had an idea, so she wrote a note and quietly put it in a tree hole, saying that she wanted to see Shi Anxia.

As a result, she received a reply the next day, telling her not to act rashly.

Hey! It turned out to be Yinfeng. Usually, this girl and another girl named Manliu were the ones who teased her the most. They often said bad things about her behind her back, but it turned out that this girl was the one who protected her.

Sure enough, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth. Shi Anrou learned this.

"Why? Don't you have some important news to tell me in person?" Shi Anxia's gaze fell on Shi Anrou's lower abdomen.

Then he looked her up and down and nodded, "Yes, you've gained weight."

Shi Anrou's eyes were red. "You finally arrived... The Emperor... Oh... Sister Anxia, I missed you so much. If you don't allow me to meet you, I won't be able to live anymore."

As she spoke, she was about to step forward, but was blocked by Shi Anxia's outstretched hand.

Shi Anxia glanced at the table full of empty plates and bowls that had not yet been cleared, and smiled faintly, "Well, it seems that you want to die of gluttony."

Shi Anrou blushed, secretly regretting in her heart. If she had known that Shi Anxia would come to meet her today, she would have skipped a meal in the morning.

But now, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm hungry."

Shi Anxia didn't have time to reminisce with her. "If you have something to say, then tell me. Are you pregnant?"

Shi Anrou's eyes widened and her face turned even redder. "What are you talking about? With you protecting me, how can I be so unlucky?"
