Feng Yu ordered: "Take these assassins to the Heavenly Prison and interrogate them strictly."
The assassins were taken away. Zhu Jiangnan was the first to kneel down and kowtow to Feng Yu and Yu Jinshu: "Long live the Emperor and Empress!"
Then all the guests in the restaurant, as well as the owner and waiters, knelt down and saluted.
Feng Yu simply pulled off his uncomfortable beard.
Yu Jinshu also plucked off the small black beard under her nose, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
Feng Yu looked at the kneeling people and said, "Stand up."
Everyone stood up. Some of them had never seen the emperor and empress before, and they were extremely excited. The emperor and empress were so beautiful, more beautiful than anyone they had ever seen.
A middle-aged guest whispered, "Every word the Queen said just now was for the benefit of us ordinary people. It is a great blessing for our Beiyue country to have a Queen who cares so much about the people."
"Yes! Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."
At this time, Feng Yu pulled Yu Jinshu and walked in front of Zhu Jiangnan and the others.
"Why are you so reserved now that you see me?"
Zhu Jiangnan quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, things are different now. I dare not overstep the boundaries."
His family was a wealthy merchant family, and some of his uncles were officials, but he himself was a playboy, so he called himself a commoner.
Yan Fengyang and Mo Ruoli are both from prominent families, and there are many officials in their families. They both have no official positions, so they were able to play together with Feng Yu in the past.
Yingge suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Jinshu: "Thank you very much, Queen, for saving my life!"
Yu Jinshu helped Yingge up and said, "It was because of me that you fell into the hands of the assassins just now. I'm sorry to have frightened you."
Although Yingge had some thoughts about Feng Yu in the past, from her point of view, she was not at fault.
For a woman who has experienced injustice and suffering, it is not excessive for her to want to fight for something for her future, as long as she does not do anything bad.
Yu Jinshu didn't hate Yingge.
Mo Zhili also bowed to Yu Jinshu and said, "Thank you Queen for dealing with that female assassin. Otherwise, Yingge would be in danger."
Yu Jinshu looked at Mo Zhili with a smile: "Since you are thanking me, you should at least show some appreciation, right?"
"Ah!" Mo Zhili looked at Yu Jinshu, a little confused. "I'll go home and prepare some thank-you gifts for the Queen."
Yu Jinshu frowned and gave Mo Zhili a look of contempt: "Is this how you look at me? Do you think I enjoy plundering your family's property?"
Mo Zhili was confused: "This, this..."
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Why don't you write two sweet stories for me to read."
Mo Zhili was even more confused: "Sweet story?"
Yu Jinshu: "Don't you like writing storybooks? Why don't you write two stories that, while complex, feature a warm and sweet relationship between the hero and heroine, and don't make the ending too cruel."
Mo Zhili smiled: "I understand."
Feng Yu said, "Hearing you say you are common people, I thought I should find you something to do, so that you won't spend the whole day wandering around brothels and doing nothing."
Yan Fengyang said with a worried look: "Your Majesty, didn't you also spend your days wandering around brothels and doing nothing?"
Zhu Jiangnan patted Yan Fengyang's hand and said, "You are so brave to speak to the emperor like this. The emperor used to do this on purpose to avoid disaster and hide himself."
Feng Yu smiled, "Feng Yang is a true character, and that's how it should be. I've already made arrangements for you. Zhu Jiangnan, Mo Zhili, you two will go to the Imperial College, study hard, and strive to pass the imperial examinations as soon as possible."
"Ah!" Zhu Jiangnan was surprised. "Your Majesty, my parents keep forcing me to take the imperial examination, but I..."
Yan Fengyang patted Zhu Jiangnan's arm again and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You don't have to listen to your parents, but the emperor's words are his decree, and you have to obey them."
He knelt down quickly.
Zhu Jiangnan also knelt down hurriedly.
The two men shouted in unison: "We obey your orders!"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "You must work hard and strive to pass the imperial examination. I will be waiting for you in the court. I hope you can become my right-hand men in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiangnan and Yan Fengyang smiled excitedly and kowtowed again: "We obey your command!"
Feng Yu asked them to stand up, then turned to look at Mo Ruoli: "Mo Ruoli."
Noila Mo quickly knelt down.
Feng Yu said, "Mo Ruoli, you are intelligent, love reading, have a photographic memory, are well-informed, and are well-versed in the classics and history books. I order you to enter the National History Museum as a commoner and oversee the revision of the historical book "Northern Moon Canon." I appoint you as the Chief Executive."
Mo Ruoli was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the appointment!"
Feng Yu said, "Of course, besides revising the 'Northern Moon Canon' at the National History Museum, you also have to find time to write a sweet little story for the Queen."
Noila Mo smiled and kowtowed again: "I obey your command!"
Feng Yu prepared to leave.
Yu Jinshu pulled Feng Yu aside and whispered something to him.
Feng Yu looked at Yingge.
Yingge lowered her head, feeling mixed emotions as she thought about the past. She wondered if the emperor would offend her for the queen's sake!
She was so scared and didn't know what the Queen had just said to the Emperor.
Feng Yu said, "Yingge."
Yingge quickly knelt down.
"Yingge, you sold your art at Baihua Tower, not your body. You remained chaste, kind, and gentle. You have helped me a lot. Today, I will change your slave status to a good one, give you a dowry of a hundred pieces, and grant you a marriage."
After hearing this, Yingge was so happy that she was at a loss for words. She looked at the emperor and then at the queen. She understood that the queen had whispered to the emperor just now, and she must have wanted the emperor to reward her.
Noila Mo reminded her on the side: “Hurry up and thank you.”
Yingge then knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord, for your grace!"
She bowed to Yu Jinshu again and said, "Thank you very much, Queen, for speaking for me!"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Yingge, you accompanied the emperor through the most difficult time in his life. The reward the emperor gave you is what you deserve."
After hearing this, everyone praised the queen for her magnanimity.
Feng Yu looked at the smashed tables and chairs, the overturned dishes, and the scattered food in the restaurant, and ordered, "The restaurant will pay ten times the amount of damage to the property. Diners will have to re-arrange their meals, and the money will be included in the compensation."
The restaurant owner, waiters and diners all expressed their gratitude.
Feng Yu took Yu Jinshu away.
Zhu Jiangnan and the others sent the emperor and empress to the carriage downstairs and watched it leave.
Feng Yu and Yu Jinshu returned to the Fulin Poetry and Painting Society.
"I wonder how Chan'er and Lan Heling are getting along?" Yu Jinshu was sticking a beard under his nose. He would have to disguise himself when he entered the poetry and painting club later.
Feng Yu was also trying to stick to his big beard, but he couldn't get it to stick.
Yu Jinshu found it interesting and helped him to stick it on. Finally, they looked at each other's beards and couldn't help laughing.
They had just experienced a dangerous situation, but they were still in a good mood.
After getting off the carriage and walking into the Poetry and Painting Society, the servant took Feng Yu and Yu Jinshu to the tea room.
