As soon as he asked this question, Emperor Ming immediately regretted it.
The only way the court could have anything to do with this heroine in white was to make her take the blame for assassinating Prince Ling.
He originally thought that the heroine in white was acting alone, so he could only swallow the loss and did not dare to argue with the court. He didn't expect her reaction to be so great, which was beyond his expectation.
The fight against these people is trivial, but the most terrifying thing is that the strength of the heroine in white is inestimable. What's even more troublesome is that the people in the capital seem to respect her very much now. For this plan, he must have the woman in white captured and brought to justice as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others.
So that everyone in the world knows that no one can be above the law and imperial power no matter what!
Emperor Ming was furious and ordered Zhuang Zhou to investigate the case within seven days.
Zhuang Zhou was miserable and knew that this was an impossible task, so he could only bite the bullet and accept the imperial edict.
After the court was dismissed, the ministers walked to the palace gate in twos and threes.
"Master Zhuang!"
Zhou Lin quickly caught up: "What are you going to do about this case?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Others don't know, but Brother Zhou must know the inside story. This matter is originally the court's fault. Why should I arrest her? What's more, in the vast world, where can I catch her?"
Zhou Lin patted his shoulder sympathetically: "The emperor's life is difficult! Look at me, that Princess Tuoba is so cunning and difficult to deal with. She either needs a large number of manpower to serve her or wanders around in the imperial city. This morning she actually You want me to take her to live in Prince Ling’s mansion! I don’t know what to say! But can’t I just give her a smile?”
A sentence of imperial edict extinguished all Zhuang Zhou's grievances and enthusiasm.
The goose-feather heavy snow was falling one after another. Zhou Lin put his arm on Zhuang Zhou's shoulder: "It's snowing heavily today, which is the perfect time to drink hot wine! Come on, I'll treat you to a drink!"
When the heavy snow first fell, everyone in the capital said that "the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest", and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
But the heavy snow has been falling intermittently for seven days. How can the people dare to call this heavy snow "auspicious snow"? Thank God it didn't turn into a snowstorm.
There is vast white snow everywhere in the capital, and few people go out.
Su Qingyu looked at the sky and felt something bad.
"If the snow doesn't stop, the people in the capital will be in trouble..."
Lu Yuncheng followed her gaze and stared outside: "I'm just afraid that the snow disaster has already formed..."
"Master! Master!"
The breeze pushed the door in from outside, and the wind and snow suddenly poured into the house, bringing with it bursts of chill.
"Master, it's chaos! The people outside are already in chaos!"
"what happened?"
"It has been snowing heavily for many days, and various grain stores suddenly increased the price of grain several times and limited the supply! Ordinary people either can't buy it or can't afford it! Now many people are making noise around the gate of Jingzhao Yamen, and even more Some even ran directly to the palace gate and begged His Majesty to make the decision!"
Su Qingyu clenched her fists: "These damn people, at such a critical moment, it is difficult for the country to make money!"
Qingfeng continued: "This is good. The heavy snow collapsed many houses, leaving more people with no place to go! They all gathered around the entrances of various government offices."
There is no food, no clothing, and now there is no shelter from the cold...
Su Qingyu didn't even dare to think about it: "Is there no movement in the court?"
"The imperial court has sent the Ministry of War to provide tents for the people to settle temporarily; the Ministry of Household Affairs has also allocated silver taels to purchase grain in the surrounding cities and counties according to His Majesty's decree; Mr. Zhuang of Jingzhao Mansion has sent people to maintain order."
Su Qingyu murmured: "This can only have a temporary effect. If the situation in the capital is not dealt with in time, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Your Majesty!"
Mingyue trotted in: "His Majesty has spoken, please invite all the adults from the six ministries and the princes to come to the palace to discuss relief matters."
Lu Yuncheng's face darkened: "Jingye, do you want me to enter the palace?"
It was not that he was unwilling, but he was grateful for the opportunity to participate in disaster relief. He just felt that Emperor Ming's selfishness was too obvious, so he was unhappy.
Su Qingyu took off the cloak and put it on him: "Lu Yuncheng, no matter what, the safety of the people must be the top priority in everything!"
Lu Yuncheng only raised his eyes slightly and could see the worry and uneasiness in her eyes.
"Wait for me at home and don't go out casually."
"good."
The snow was so heavy that when Qingfeng pushed the wheelchair, he had to use some internal force to walk normally.
After Su Qingyu watched a few people disappear, she turned around and fiddled with the medicine box for a while, then picked up the medicine box and prepared to go out.
Caiwei exclaimed: "Princess! Where are you going in such a heavy snowstorm?"
Su Qingyu put on the cloak and put on the hood. Even though she was wrapped so tightly, she still felt what the real cold weather felt like when she went out.
She felt this way, wouldn't those people be even more miserable?
"I'm going to meet someone. I'll be back soon."
"Princess! You can't go! Qingfeng just said that the capital has been in chaos. If you go out, just in case..."
Caiwei wanted to go out and grab the person, but was stopped by Mingyue first: "You have grown up with the princess since you were a child. You should know that she is a kind woman. How can you just sit back and ignore her?"
What's more, no one can stop the princess from making a decision.
Caiwei opened her mouth, but after a while she could only hold Ming Yue's hand tightly: "Ming Yue, please protect the princess!"
Mingyue stared at Caiwei's hand and frowned, but did not shake it away: "Of course."
The wind and snow outside were far worse than those inside the palace.
The road was already covered with snow, and the carriage could not move at all.
Su Qingyu walked like this, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and when she walked to the back, her eyelashes were covered with frost.
Fortunately, after spending nearly an hour, she finally arrived at the door of Shen's mansion.
"Please tell Mr. Shen that Princess Ling wants to see him for something."
Upon hearing that it was Princess Ling who was in the limelight recently, the servant guarding the door ran in as fast as possible to report her.
After about a cup of tea, Shen Huaide appeared with shock in his eyes: "The princess came here in the snow, but after the snow disaster?"
Seeing that Shen Huaide knew what he was doing and was not just a fool, Su Qingyu finally felt a little more at ease.
"Exactly."
"Princess, please come in quickly!"
Shen Huaide never expected that Su Qingyu would come to him at this first time, so his attitude was more respectful than before.
When the earth dragon is burning in the living room, it blocks the wind and snow outside.
"Master Shen, the snow disaster has been caused, and the imperial court has taken corresponding emergency measures, but this is far from enough."
Shen Huaide sighed: "Don't you know that after the disaster, it is the most suitable time for various diseases to become rampant?"
Seeing Shen Huaide's depressed face, Su Qingyu had a bad premonition: "Master Shen has come to the palace to see His Majesty?"
"To be honest with the princess, I have already reported to your majesty, requesting your majesty to allocate funds and arrange manpower to prepare for various unexpected events after the snow disaster. But your majesty has listened to King An's advice and believes that as long as the disaster relief is in place, there will be nothing we are worried about. Condition."
It's King An again!
