It was not until noon that Yun Huangye slowly woke up.
Hearing the noise inside, Run'er hurried in with warm water.
Yun Xiangye stood up and felt sore all over. She sighed secretly and could only be more tolerant towards Gu Yan until her sister could escape safely.
Yun Xiangye took the handkerchief Run'er handed over and wiped her face, saying, "Go to the princess's residence later and bring Nuonuo over."
Run'er asked, "Aren't you going back to the Princess's Mansion?"
Yun Xiangye said, "The embroidery workshop is about to open, and I have to be busy making more clothes. I can also take a look at the clothes made by other embroiderers and make improvements immediately, so that I don't have to work in vain."
Run'er responded, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye went to the embroidery room, where many embroiderers were already making clothes.
Yun Xiangye went over and gave them instructions one by one, and also taught them some skills that her mother had taught them. Before they knew it, half a day had passed.
It was not until Nuonuo came that Yun Xiangye went over and hugged the sweet and soft Nuonuo.
Nuonuo is cute and well-behaved. Most of the embroiderers are mothers, and they are extremely happy to see Nuonuo.
Yun Xiangye allowed them to bring their children to the backyard of the embroidery workshop, so that Nuonuo would have more playmates.
The embroiderers naturally agreed to bring the children with them.

After lunch break, in the Censorate.
Qing Ming hurriedly walked over to Gu Yan and whispered softly, "Master, I have to take a few days off to go back to Hongliu Village. I just received news that my cousin was killed by Wang Heng, and my cousin's wife was also raped by those beasts and is seeking death. My second uncle and second aunt lost their son in middle age and are so grieving that they can't get out of bed..."
Gu Yan was annoyed when he heard this: "Was it Fu Ming who ordered this?"
Qing Ming nodded and said, "That's right. Wang Heng originally seized the land of Hongliu Village on behalf of Fu Ming. As soon as my cousin was murdered, the Dali Temple's Shaoqing intervened and imprisoned Wang Heng, insisting that he was the murderer and that Fu Ming had nothing to do with it. The case was closed, and Wang Heng has now been imprisoned in the Dali Temple."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "Isn't the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple Xie Shi'an?"
Qing Ming whispered, "Yes, Sir Xie."
Gu Yan said: "You go back and take care of the funeral first. I will definitely give your cousin justice in this matter."
Qing Ming knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master."
After Qing Ming left, Gu Yan went to the Dali Temple with a sullen face.
Seeing Gu Yan coming over, Xie Shian smiled and said, "How come you have time to come to my place?"
When Gu Yan saw Xie Shian, he questioned him, "Fu Ming's men killed the villagers of Hongliu Village. How could you cover up the evidence for him?"
Xie Shian whispered, "Fu Ming's men were also careless, and it was not Fu Ming's orders. Now Fu Ming has compensated the villager with 100 taels of silver on behalf of Wang Heng, which is enough for his family to live safely."
Gu Yan said, "Fu Ming has been relying on the Crown Princess's brother's reputation to allow his men to seize the people's fields and houses. Your Highness has already let him off lightly once, but he still harbors revenge and murders people to silence them. This matter must be reported to His Majesty."
Xie Shian said, "Cousin, the Crown Princess is about to enter the Eastern Palace. If something happens to her brother now, where will the reputation of the Eastern Palace be?"
Gu Yan said, "To repeatedly shield Fu Ming from his mistakes is truly beneath the reputation of the Eastern Palace. I simply cannot believe you would cover for him. You've always been fair, so why would you do such a dirty thing?"
Xie Shian said, "This was done by Fu Ming's men. It has nothing to do with Fu Ming. Moreover, Fu Ming has also sent that man to prison, awaiting execution in the autumn. You should not pursue this matter any further. Even if you do, wait another two months and let Miss Fu become the Crown Princess smoothly."
Gu Yan just felt that something was wrong with Xie Shian. This was not the Xie Shian he knew.
Xie Shian has always been upright and honest, and there is no need for him to cover up for Fu Ming in order to please the future Crown Princess.
Gu Yan said, "I need to report this matter to His Majesty. The deceased was Qing Ming's cousin. I came here today to advise you not to get involved in this matter anymore, so as to avoid being implicated."
Xie Shian frowned slightly and said, "Cousin, it's only two months away. Can't you let Donggong marry the Crown Princess peacefully?"
Gu Yan said, "How unjustly did the villagers who died in Hongliu Village suffer?"
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left. After not seeing him for three years, he really didn't expect that Xie Shian would become such a sycophantic person.
After returning to the princess's mansion, Gu Yan saw that Yun Xiangye had not returned home all day, so he went to the embroidery workshop.
Entering the backyard of the embroidery workshop, Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye embroidering in the corridor, while Nuonuo was playing with kites with her wet nurse and Run'er.
Gu Yan walked up to Yun Xiangye and asked, "Why don't you go back?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I'll go back after I finish embroidering this flower."
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yan. "This embroidery workshop is about to open, so I have to pay more attention to it. Why are you angry? You are the one who is in trouble."
Gu Yan said, "I'm not angry because you're not going back, but I'm angry at cousin Shi An. After all, we haven't seen each other for three years, and a lot has changed."
Yun Xiangye said, "Cousin Shi An is a good person. How could he make you angry?"
Seeing that no one was around, Gu Yan sat down beside Yun Xiangye and talked to her about official affairs: "Qingming's hometown is Hongliu Village outside Chang'an City. After we returned to Chang'an, his cousin found him and said that there was a nobleman in Chang'an City who had seized the land of the people in Hongliu Village and took away all the land of Qingming's ancestors. I checked and found out that the person behind it was Fu Ming.
This matter was reported to His Highness years ago. His Highness was concerned that the Crown Princess would soon enter the palace, so he only asked me to advise Fu Ming to return the land and property to the people.
I thought the matter was over, but today Qingming told me that his cousin was killed by Fu Ming's men because he reported Fu Ming, and his cousin's wife was also raped..."
