Accidentally dressed as an empress

Su Qing left Qingfeng Tower and climbed over the eaves and walls when he saw someone who looked familiar.

The man was covered in blood and was running for his life in the deserted streets in a panic. He seemed to be a member of the Zhong family. She had seen him once when the prince brought Mrs. Zhong back home.

Su Qing felt strange. Could it be that the Zhong family had made some enemies?

Su Qing jumped down from the eaves. Zhong Lu was frightened at first, thinking that it was an enemy chasing him, so he turned around and ran away.

"Why are you running?"

Zhong Lu said, "If you want to kill me or chop me up, do it quickly. Your sword is fast and I can suffer less."

"I'm not going to kill you." Su Qing said, "What enemy have you offended?"

"I just ate a few ducks in the West Market. I don't know what enemies I offended. It was terrifying. There were quite a few of them, and they killed anyone they saw. I only managed to escape because I ran fast. Knight, could you take me back to the Zhong Mansion?"

Su Qing didn't say anything, and ran with Zhong Lu all the way back to the eldest princess's palace.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the dormitory door urgently, waking Yunxiu and Zhongyi. Yunxiu comforted Zhongyi and said, "I'll go check on you, don't wake up."

Yunxiu got out of bed and opened the door in her slippers. Su Qing whispered, "Your Highness, I have an urgent matter to report. At the Third Princess's residence, Yu Xi and the Third Princess are plotting an uprising during the autumn hunt."

"Zhong Lu escaped from the West Market in the middle of the night. She was covered in blood and said someone was killing anyone they saw there."

The slave rebellion came a little too quickly, and she had no troops at all.

Yunxiu thought for a moment and said to Su Qing, "There are slaves in the mansion too. Keep a close eye on them. Also, be careful of those in the manor."

As for autumn hunting, we can only take it one step at a time.

Su Qing added, "I took it upon myself to exchange the information about the Third Princess with Gu Zezhi."

Yunxiu patted her and said, "It's okay. Su Qing, you did a great job."

Things are accomplished through secrecy, and ruined through disclosure. If a plan is not kept secret, harm will occur.

If Your Majesty is prepared for the slave uprising, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Su Qing continued, "Gu Zezhi said that the Xiling fiefdom that His Majesty gave to Your Highness was Yunyin City, a barren land where bandits are rampant."

Yunxiu took note. Su Qing was truly capable. Yunxiu said, "You deserve a reward."

Gu Zezhi went to the palace overnight and asked for an audience outside the Juanshu Palace. His Majesty had already gone to bed. Gu Zezhi reported to His Majesty, "Tomorrow we will be hunting in autumn. Your Majesty, please bring more garrisons and take strict precautions."

"Who is planning to cause trouble?"

Gu Zezhi said, "I have found out that there are secret agents of the Rong tribe who have been frequently entering and leaving the Third Princess's residence recently. This is related to the Third Princess's purchase of slaves last time..."

Yun Se was very calm and said, "The eldest princess also bought slaves."

Gu Zezhi said, "This..."

Yun Se closed her eyes and said, "You should leave first and let me have some peace and quiet."

The silent palace was dark. The autumn wind was not yet cold, but Yun Se felt a chill to the bone.

There are no mothers and daughters in the imperial family. Xiu'er was right. Yunse closed her eyes.

She has given birth to many daughters, many more, it doesn't matter.

But why were it the two of them, the man she loved the most, Zhong Xuan, and the man she hated the most, Gu Jin.

She had rescued Gu Jin, freed all the slaves in the West Market, brought him back to the palace, cared for him meticulously, and bestowed upon him the utmost honor and favor. However, Gu Jin repaid her kindness with hatred, seducing the Prime Minister to obtain state secrets, and seducing Su Yan to inquire about the garrison deployment.

From then on, she abolished the position of prime minister.

From then on, she abolished the law of treating foreign prisoners of war well, because those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

Xuan'er, Xuan'er, why did you leave me so early? Leaving her with endless loneliness.

She could no longer remember what Xuan'er looked like, but no matter what, she would let Xuan'er's daughter go.

The other one is another matter.

Yun Se tossed and turned, keeping her eyes open until the rooster crowed. She felt drowsy, but could not fall asleep again, and her head started to hurt again.

She stood up and walked towards Caixiu Palace, only to see a hooded woman coming out of Jingzhi Palace.

Yun Se sneered in his heart. Zhang Fan was also a person who didn't like being lonely. Like Lin Wangfu, he had been out of favor for many years.

Yun Se entered the Caixiu Palace, found a room at random and walked in. A strange young voice asked, "Who is it?"

Yun Se didn't turn on the light or speak, and forced herself on the young man whose face was unclear.

The man kept begging for mercy, "Auntie, please forgive me, please?"

Yunse frowned. So this is how the maids under Cui Ti managed these handsome men?

Well, her things were used by these daring slaves first.

She changed the palace rules last time, so these stubborn servants thought she was very kind, right?

Yunse rested in a side hall of Caixiu Palace. At the hour of Mao, she got up and returned to Changning Palace.

As soon as Yun Se entered Juanshu Palace, she asked the palace servants to call Commander Wu over.

Yun Se was wearing a thin nightgown and was wiping the cold and shining sword with a towel.

Yun Se caught a glimpse of Wu Han entering, and without even looking up, she said, "Wu Han, the Beiyuan Autumn Hunt will be postponed for an hour. First, take the garrison troops and arrest all the maids in the Caixiu Palace. They will be severely tortured. Anyone found guilty of adultery will be lashed with the cane 100 times, with the exception of death."

Yun Se said with a cold face, "Also, send someone to check who went to Jingzhi Palace last night."

"All those handsome men in the Caixiu Palace should be released from the palace. Let Cui Ti pick out a new batch of clean men."

Wu Han replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Cui is ill."

Yun Se thought for a moment and said, "I actually forgot. Let the imperial physician take a look. We can deal with this matter after she recovers."

Then she would ask Gu Zezhi to pick a group of them and send them to the palace to supplement the Caixiu Palace. What happened last night made her feel as if she had swallowed a fly, and she was nauseated.

Yun Se finished polishing his sword and said, "We will set out promptly at the beginning of the Si hour. All the people from the City Patrol and three-quarters of the garrison troops will accompany us to Beiyuan."

In the past, His Majesty only brought half the garrison troops with him during the autumn hunt. Even though Wu Han had his doubts, he still obeyed the order and withdrew.
