Shen Yu quickly understood Mingyue's good intentions. The Darong Dynasty was prosperous, and one could see noble ladies from prominent families in the capital.
The world outside the capital was like a different world. Whenever Shen Yu thought of the tragic scenes of those baby girls, a chill ran down her spine.
"My lord, how can I change this? I can't do it."
She saw it, but what did she do?
How should one change things when becoming an empress?
Shen Yu felt terrified and secretly wanted to escape from all of this.
Mingyue's eyes were bright, and a smile played on her lips. "You can do it."
She chose Shen Yu partly because Shen Yu had a special opportunity, and partly because Shen Yu could...cook. But that's not the point. The point is that Shen Yu in her previous life was beyond redemption.
She was protected by Chen Yao, but the bandits still managed to take advantage of her. She spent a period of time in despair and despair until Chen Yao was tortured to death by the bandits.
Shen Yu humbled herself and gradually manipulated the bandit leader, pestering him to teach her martial arts secrets, and she actually succeeded in mastering them.
In private, she also taught other women in the bandit stronghold martial arts, eventually turning the tables on the bandits, establishing a women's army, and joining the imperial court, becoming a loyal subordinate of a palace maid.
Shen Yu pursed her lips and shut her mouth, continuing to walk and observe with Mingyue. After seeing so much, Shen Yu occasionally helped some women, but instead of receiving gratitude, she was pushed and insulted, "What are you pretending to be a good person for? What use are these baby girls? You want to buy them with money!"
Whenever this happened, Shenyu would look to Mingyue for help, but Mingyue would just look at her indifferently and not offer any opinion.
Shen Yu reluctantly bought the baby girl. Seeing the woman looking at her as if she were a sucker, Shen Yu felt complicated. She looked down at the baby girl in her arms who was smiling at her.
"grown ups……"
"Find a way to handle it yourself."
Shen Yu remained silent. The baby girl was very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing. She seemed to sense that Shen Yu was in a low mood, and just stared at Shen Yu with her bright eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Yu's heart softened, and a goal began to form in her mind. "My lord," she said, "I want to build a place to take in baby girls, to educate them, and to pray that such a thing will never happen to them again!"
May these baby girls not be abandoned, nor be rejected and drowned right after birth.
Shen Yu gradually developed a grand goal in her heart, and her inner turmoil was relieved. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the bright moon.
"I will help you."
With just four words, Shen Yu became even more determined in her heart, "My lord, let's go back."
"Aren't you going to take another look?"
Shen Yu shook her head. "No, watching won't help them. If I want to help them, I need to have the right to do so."
Mingyue gave a faint "hmm," and said, "You can start looking at these imperial strategies now. It will be about a month and a half before we return, and I will be checking on you during that time."
"Yes!" Shen Yu's lips moved. "My lord, but why did you choose me?"
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time. There were ten princes and princesses in the Great Rong Dynasty. If she really wanted to choose an empress, she should choose from among those princesses.
Mingyue glanced at Shenyu, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Pleasant to the eye."
Shen Yu was speechless at such a capricious reason.
Afterwards, Shen Yu found a family that had difficulty conceiving and gave them her baby girl, promising to visit occasionally and giving them some money. Then she devoted herself to the art of imperial power.
A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Yu wanted to read books even when she was sleeping. She was still a little dazed when she returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Chen Yao looked at Shen Yu, who looked haggard and worn, with a strange expression. "What's wrong, A-Yu?"
Mingyue sipped her tea, her voice softening slightly, "Having lofty ambitions is fine. How's the capital doing lately?"
"The Emperor has sent people to see you several times, saying he has something to discuss. I told him the truth. My lord, is the capital about to undergo a change of fortune?"
