I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 26 Entering the Palace to Meet the Saint

The next morning, in the main hall of Nanyuan, County Magistrate Guo sat at the bottom, and Jiuyi reported the confessions of the four corrupt officials to Feng Zhaoyun.

Feng Zhaoyun read it through and closed the memorial. "This prince will return to the capital today. The position of Governor-General of Jiangnan will be temporarily entrusted to County Magistrate Guo. The court will issue an appointment order in a few days. I hope County Magistrate Guo will not disappoint this prince. Otherwise, this prince can come to Jiangnan again."

After saying this, he looked straight at County Magistrate Guo. After hearing this, County Magistrate Guo thought about it and knelt down. "Your Highness, I obey your command!" In fact, he did not want to be the Governor-General of Jiangnan. He loved Liushui County and just wanted to be a small county magistrate. But when he thought about the possibility of the next corrupt official, and the people suffering, and he was also guilty, he finally accepted the position.

Feng Zhaoyun finished making the arrangements and stood up. "Let's go."

After saying that, he led Jiuyi out of the main hall and boarded the carriage. As soon as they left Nanyuan, they noticed that the streets were deserted today.

As the carriage approached the city gate, a uniform voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Farewell, His Royal Highness the War King. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years."

Feng Zhaoyun was startled by the sudden noise in the carriage, and then stepped out and stood on it. At this time, at the city gate, the common people and several county magistrates from the Jiangnan area were kneeling at the city gate to see him off respectfully.

Feng Zhaoyun felt a sudden warmth in her heart. At this moment, County Magistrate Guo and several other county magistrates stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you have eliminated these corrupt officials for the people of Jiangnan. The people are deeply grateful. Upon learning that you are returning to the capital today, we have come to see you off."

After saying that, he stepped aside, knelt down, and said loudly, "Your Highness the King of War, have a safe journey! May you be in good health and live a thousand years!" The people repeated the words of County Magistrate Guo.

Feng Zhaoyun signaled Jiuyi to continue walking, and without saying a word, he calmly walked into the carriage. The War King's personal soldiers escorted the carriage out of the city.

If Feng Zhaoyun hadn't hurried back to the carriage, she would have burst into tears. So doing good for the people felt this way. This kind of love could only be felt in an era where women were the most respected.

After several days' journey, Feng Zhaoyun's team finally arrived at the gate of Kyoto. At this time, important officials of the court were already waiting to greet them at the gate of Kyoto, which was enough to show how much the Queen valued the King of War.

The prime minister and his men hurriedly straightened their clothes upon seeing the War King's entourage. As the carriage reached the gate, Prime Minister Jiang and dozens of other officials stepped forward and knelt in unison, "Welcome, Princess! May your majesty live a thousand years!"

Feng Zhaoyun was exhausted from the journey, and the constant jolting made him feel dizzy and his stomach upset. He still managed to hold back, lifting the carriage curtain and saying, "Get out!" He then entered the carriage again and leaned back against the cushions.

The officials were stunned. At this moment, Jiuyi felt a surge of admiration in his heart. It turned out that the master was still the same master as before!

Jiuyi looked at the officials who were still kneeling and added quickly, "Prime Minister Jiang, please stand up quickly. Your Highness is exhausted from the journey, so please make way."

Prime Minister Jiang and the others stood up angrily. "Your Highness, we are here to welcome you on the orders of the Empress. Duke Feng and General Xiao returned triumphantly to Kyoto without any important officials to greet them. Is your attitude a sign of dissatisfaction with Her Majesty's order?"

In the carriage, Feng Zhaoyun, who was already carsick, frowned slightly. Why was it so disgusting? He almost vomited.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke a few words to Jiuyi through the car curtain. Jiuyi couldn't help but chuckle, and then ordered someone to take out four boxes from the convoy behind.

Jiuyi ordered his men to bring four boxes to Prime Minister Jiang and the officials. "Prime Minister Jiang, as I said earlier, Your Highness is exhausted from the journey. I thank you all for welcoming me, but I cannot stay any longer. We must bring these items to the palace to present to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Jiang Xiangguo gave the attendant beside him a look, and the attendant opened the box, "Ah!!!!"

Prime Minister Jiang and several officials nearby took a few steps back in fear, nearly falling to the ground. A maidservant hurriedly supported him, and Prime Minister Jiang pointed tremblingly at the head in the box, "This...this is..."

Jiuyi looked at the embarrassed look of the few people and said, "This is the head of the criminal from Jiangnan. If we delay any longer, it will become smelly."

After saying this, he ordered the troops to continue into the city, leaving the officials in shock. Minister Gu stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister...Prime Minister, that's the head of Governor Yang of Jiangnan, the younger sister of the current emperor?"

Prime Minister Jiang couldn't help but vomit without paying attention to the people present. Afterwards, he shook his head and said, "Everyone, now that we have welcomed the princess, please follow me back to the palace to report."

The officials nodded, got on the carriage one by one, and headed towards the palace.

At this time, Feng Zhaoyun returned to the palace. The housekeeper and the others were already waiting at the palace gate. When everyone entered the palace, Feng Zhaoyun went directly to the main courtyard and slammed the door shut, blocking everyone in the doorway.

I lay down on the bed and sighed, "It feels so good to be home! This car is almost breaking me apart!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep without caring about the broad daylight...

After an incense stick of time, Jiuyi knocked on the door, "Master! Someone is coming from the palace! Master?"

Seeing that there was no answer from inside, Jiuyi quietly pushed open the door. After entering, he saw Feng Zhaoyun sleeping with the quilt between her legs, looking completely undignified.

Jiuyi walked over weakly, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

Feng Zhaoyun reluctantly opened his eyes and squinted at Jiuyi, "Who?"

Jiuyi repeated, "Master, it's someone from the palace, waiting in the main hall."

Feng Zhaoyun stood up impatiently, rubbed his eyes, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the main hall.

At this time, the young eunuch beside the empress was waiting in the main hall. Seeing Feng Zhaoyun, he did not dare to neglect and stepped forward to greet her, "Your Highness, the Princess, Your Majesty invites you."

Feng Zhaoyun nodded and walked straight out of the palace. He got on the dizzying carriage again. He had had enough of it in the past few days.

The carriage drove to the main hall of the imperial palace as usual. Feng Zhaoyun got off. Zhou Fuhai was already waiting there. Zhou Fuhai took Feng Zhaoyun to the meeting hall but did not take her to the imperial study.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was strange. The empress sat at the top, and standing below were dozens of important court officials who had just greeted her.

Feng Zhaoyun entered the main hall and paid his respects to the Empress, "Mother, I am back!"

The empress excitedly stood up when she saw her, walked down the main stairs, and took Feng Zhaoyun's hand. "Yun'er, I just received the news that you fell into the water and are missing. I am heartbroken. Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Feng Zhaoyun looked at his mother and held her hand. "Mother, my wound has healed. I am sorry for being unfilial and causing you to worry."

When the Queen heard that she was injured, she looked worried and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

Feng Zhaoyun felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at the Empress who was so concerned about him. "I was pushed into the river by a villain. Sharp stones scratched my abdomen and legs, but I'm fine now. Don't worry, Mother."

The Queen was stunned for a moment, then she gently patted Feng Zhaoyun's hand and returned to the throne. "My son, please sit down."

Feng Zhaoyun sat in her former exclusive seat.

Prime Minister Jiang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we were ordered to welcome His Highness, but we saw the heads of four major officials from Jiangnan. Please verify this."

The Queen frowned slightly. Her son was truly troublesome. Couldn't she just bring him back and kill him slowly? "Yun'er, what's going on?"

Feng Zhaoyun gestured to Jiuyi outside the hall, and then four eunuchs came forward with wooden boxes. After they opened them, a foul smell came out and everyone covered their mouths and noses. Feng Zhaoyun waved his hand, and the young eunuchs took the four wooden boxes out again.

At this moment, Jiuyi held up the document and presented it to Feng Zhaoyun. Feng Zhaoyun stood and saluted, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to Jiangnan to control the flood. On the way, I discovered evidence of the crimes of Governor Yang, Li, and four others. I was ambushed several times along the way. When they failed to stop me, I was pushed into the river by Li and his men, nearly dying. This is the evidence of their crimes. Your Majesty, please review it."

Zhou Fuhai personally took the document and presented it to the Empress. After the Empress opened it and read it, she angrily threw the document onto the table. "How audacious! Not only did they embezzle a massive amount of money, but they also blatantly assassinated the Princess in broad daylight!"

Seeing the Queen's anger, all the officials knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down..."

The Empress looked at Feng Zhaoyun, "Yun'er, do you acknowledge your guilt? These four men deserved death, but you shouldn't have killed them privately in Jiangnan. Although you have performed a great service this time, your merits will be used to atone for your sins. Do you accept this?"

Feng Zhaoyun stood up and saluted. "Your son obeys your command. It was indeed my recklessness. When the four men saw that the matter was exposed, they wanted to kill me in Jiangnan. So I had no choice but to take action first. I accept the punishment."

The Empress nodded. Feng Zhaoyun recommended Magistrate Guo for the post of Governor-General of Jiangnan, and reported the specific details of the disaster relief to the Empress. It wasn't long before night fell. The Empress rubbed her head and said, "All the nobles, please withdraw. Prince Zhan handled the Jiangnan incident appropriately, but since he executed important officials without reporting it, I will make amends for his misdeeds. All of you, please withdraw. My son, you should return home and rest."

After everyone left, Feng Zhaoyun boarded the carriage surrounded by officials' congratulations and left the palace...

The empress returned to the harem and was having dinner in the back hall when Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor wishes to see you."

The Queen was still eating. "Pass it on!"

The emperor entered the main hall with a look of grief on his face and knelt heavily. "Your Majesty, please be clear about this. Governor Yang is not capable of corruption, let alone the courage to send people to kill the War King. Your Majesty, please be clear about this!"

The empress looked up at her husband, "My dear, please get up quickly. The evidence is now irrefutable. Governor Yang has not wronged her. Assassinating a princess is a grave crime. If I forgive her this time, will she try to assassinate me next time?"

The emperor's face was filled with panic, "Your Majesty..."

The Queen waved her hand impatiently, "Back off."

The emperor had no choice but to leave the main hall and return to the main palace. He sat at the table without saying a word, but his eyes were full of hatred. After a while, he said, "Let the third princess come to the palace tomorrow."

The eunuch beside him was ordered to leave.
