Seeing this, Yun Zhining told Qi Yejing everything that happened that day. Qi Yejing became furious after listening to her.

"How dare this little girl humiliate my people? If I don't teach her a lesson, am I still worthy of being the emperor of Daye?"

"As the saying goes, if a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Her parents are so arrogant, so it is natural that their daughter is arrogant. Therefore, children need to be educated, and adults need to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they may bully more people in the future."

"Okay, leave this to me. Don't worry about it. I will take care of it."

The owner of this courtyard and the little girl's father are brothers from the same father and mother, but the owner of the courtyard is more hardworking and is the eldest son, so his father gave this courtyard to him before he passed away.

The last time the situation was urgent, Qi Yejing spent three times the price to buy this small courtyard, and the family moved to Chang'an City and also moved their small business to Chang'an City. The little girl's father was very jealous, and when he heard that Qi Yejing had not visited Yun Zhining for a long time, he vented all his anger.

Under normal circumstances, Yun Zhining would at most teach them a lesson and would never complain to Qi Yejing. But it was their bad luck that they ran into Yun Zhining when she was in a bad mood, so don't blame her for being ruthless.

In a small shabby courtyard two streets away from here, the little girl's mother prepared a meal and asked the father and daughter to eat.

The three of them had just sat down and had not yet had time to pick up their chopsticks when they heard an urgent knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Brother Ge, it's me, Dongzi from your neighbor."

"Sister-in-law, did you go to the market to buy vegetables this afternoon? I found ten cents and wanted to ask if it was hers?"

Of course the money does not belong to Lao Ge’s wife, but that does not stop Lao Ge from taking it.

"Oh, Dongzi, you came at the right time. Your sister-in-law is looking for the ten cents. She has been looking for half an hour and still can't find it. She is crying right here."

"Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you."

When he thought about getting ten cents for free, Lao Ge ran even faster.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and before he could even smile, he was pinned against the wall by a grappling hand.

In an instant, a pig-killing howl resounded through the sky, and all the neighbors ran out to watch.

"Sir, what crime did Lao Ge commit? Why are you arresting him?"

"Ge Dashun first allowed his daughter to bully the eldest princess, and then hired someone to kill the empress in the palace. The emperor has ordered that Ge Dashun and his family be immediately imprisoned and interrogated."

"Anyone who dares to stop it will be guilty of the same crime."

Everyone who came out at this moment was waiting to see the Ge family make a fool of themselves. How could they possibly offend the officials because of such a bad guy?

"Sir, please calm down."

"Ge Dashun's family has always bullied men and women and brought disaster to the village. Your Excellency has arrested them and put them in jail. We are so grateful that we can't wait to go against you, so how could we possibly go against you?"

"That's it."

Seeing that they were all watching the fun obediently, the officer nodded with satisfaction.

"The Emperor and His Majesty will stay here for a while. I don't ask you to curry favor with them, but I ask you to behave yourself and not provoke them. If anyone angers the Emperor and His Majesty and affects the county magistrate's performance evaluation next year, don't blame me for being rude to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people became curious instantly.

"Sir, was the man who bought Brother Ge's yard that day really the emperor?"

"The emperor is young, handsome, and heroic. If I were twenty years younger, I would also like to enter the palace to serve the emperor."

"You are such an ugly person, and you still want to serve the emperor? Just dream on."

"Bah, do you think you are a good person?"

"Alright, stop arguing. I saw that lady with my own eyes that day. Even though she was injured and unconscious, she was so pretty. You guys are not even worthy of carrying her shoes."

"Hey, Dongzi, you are just encouraging others and destroying your own prestige."

"Why, isn't what I said the truth?"

"You damned child, you only know how to stab your aunts in the heart."

"Okay, okay, let's all disperse."

"Remember what I just told you. Don't provoke the Emperor and the Empress. Otherwise, if something really happens, even the county magistrate won't be able to save you."

After resting for a few days, Qi Yejing took Yun Zhining and others back.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan received the news in advance and greeted him outside the palace with her concubines.

Mrs. Lin had sharp eyes and saw the carriage from afar, and excitedly told everyone.

Everybody cheer up.

Of course, only a small number of people were happy for Yun Zhining, and the rest were all happy on the surface but angry on the inside.

This is especially true for the Queen.

After much difficulty, she instigated Concubine Shu to take action against Empress Dowager Xiaoci in order to delay the Emperor and prevent him from going out to look for Yun Zhining. Then she aroused Concubine Shu's hatred towards Yun Zhining and used this time to send people to kill Yun Zhining. However, who would have thought that the people she sent were completely useless. Not only did they fail to kill Yun Zhining, they also asked Yun Zhining to find a way to send the message to the Emperor.

What is even more unexpected is that the emperor would actually choose Yun Zhining over Empress Dowager Xiaoci. Empress Dowager Xiaoci's illness had not yet recovered, but he ran to find Yun Zhining without hesitation.

It's so infuriating.

As they were thinking about it, the carriage slowly stopped in front of them.

Qi Yejing helped Yun Zhining down, followed by Xiao Putao, Zhou Baozhu and Cheng Qi.

The queen's eyebrows raised instantly.

If she remembered correctly, this Cheng Qi seemed to be Yun Zhining's ex-fiancé. Later, in order to rescue Yun Fulan from the cold palace, the Yun family sent her to the palace. At the same time, Cheng Qi also asked to go to the border.

It seems that Cheng Qi still has feelings for Yun Zhining. Over the past two months, Cheng Qi has been with Yun Zhining closely, and the two have experienced many life and death situations. Their old love will definitely be rekindled.

Even if the old love did not rekindle, the emperor would still feel uncomfortable, and then her chance would come.

Thinking of this, a smile brightened on her face.

"Sister Ming, you are finally back. I heard that you were injured and I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep. I have been waiting for you for a long time and finally you are back. I am so happy."

"Are your injuries feeling better?"

"I see you've lost a lot of weight, General Cheng. You were ordered to take care of Ming Xiurong, how did you take care of her like this?"

Yun Zhining glanced at her plump and round face, which did not show any sign of thinness, and her smile almost disappeared.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am injured and have not been eating or sleeping well, so I have naturally become thinner. This has caused General Cheng to run around and work hard for me. If it weren't for him, who has shielded me from many dangers, I am afraid I would never see Your Majesty again."

"Oh, in that case, I must reward General Cheng well."

Yun Zhining's eyebrows were curved.

"General Cheng, why don't you come over and express your gratitude?"
