Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Ying saw that the Emperor had finished reading and then told him about the situation of Madam Zhao and her daughter and where they were now. She stayed silent once she finished what she had to say.
The Emperor immediately kowtowed and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Mother God.”
After saying that, he stood up and kept the evidence. Then, he asked Eunuch Li to bring all the officials to the banquet.
He went to find Xiao Heng and personally went to Madam Zhao. Of course, the Empress’s people were also imprisoned on the spot.
He later also called for Miss Zhao to come over.
After handing them over to Xiao Heng, he returned to the banquet.
When Zhou Ying returned, Mingyu and Gu Wanning were back in their seats. Seeing her return, they asked curiously, “Why did they look for you just now?”
Zhou Ying didn’t hide, and she told them the reason for their visit. Of course, she only told them that Madam Zhao wanted to join forces with her to deal with Lord Zhao.
As for the other stuff she found by herself, she didn’t mention it one bit.
“You didn’t agree, did you?” Gu Wanning asked.
“I’m not stupid. To put it bluntly, she’s planning to use me. Of course, I won’t be stupid enough to let her take advantage of that.
“Besides, when she held power back then, she didn’t stop Zhao Xiuying from snatching Ziyi’s husband. Why should I help her now?”
“It’s right for you to reject her.
“To be honest, she’s just a backstabber. Back then, she enjoyed everything with a clear conscience.
“Now that it’s her turn to fall from grace, she wanted to turn around and stab her husband.
“Believe it or not, if you agree, she will blame you if anything happens in the future.”
Zhou Ying nodded in agreement. At this time, Eunuch Li had already walked in with a group of officials.
However, they did not disperse immediately. After discussing something for a while, they went back to their seats.
Mingyu immediately got up and said, “Alright, I have to go back immediately.”
She returned to her seat in King An’s Imperial Residence.
Gu Chengrui sat down and asked, “Are you guys okay? Did you get bullied?”
“Don’t worry. With Princess Mingyu around, no one will dare to cause trouble for us.”
“Yeah, don’t worry, cousin. We’re fine. It must be hard on you to deal with so many people. Hurry up and drink some tea.” After Gu Wanning finished speaking, she took a teacup and poured him some tea.
“Thank you.” Gu Chengrui thanked her and continued, “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just letting them know about some new farming techniques.
“I will organize it into a booklet later. When the time comes, everyone will have a copy, so I don’t have to explain it to them individually.”
“This is a good idea. If it works, it can be passed down from generation to generation. I’ll help you with that later.”
“Alright, let’s write together.”
Gu Wanning looked at them and was envious of their relationship, but she knew it would never happen to her.
She could only hope that she could continue to get along with her husband in the future.
Soon, the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager rushed over. After bowing, everyone sat down, and the Emperor quickly announced, “We’ve discussed most of what we need to do before this.
“When you return, remember to write a proposal into a memorial and submit it to me.
“Remember, everyone only has two missions this year.
“First, promote food as soon as possible so that starving isn’t a thing as soon as possible.
“Secondly, encourage the birth of children. Women who were not married at the age of eighteen could be forced to marry.”
“We will obey.” Everyone immediately replied.
“Alright, the banquet has started. Everyone, have a good meal today and let us know how greenhouse vegetables taste.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he asked Eunuch Li to arrange for the dishes to be served..
