The news came just before daybreak.
At that time, Emperor Mingyan had just stood up when Gu Jiuxing came to report: "Your Majesty, some victims set fire to Fuyuan last night!"
"What!" Emperor Ming Yan was furious. "How dare this unruly person do this? What's the situation?"
Gu Jiuxing said: "It's not serious. Several houses were burned and four or five people were injured, but no one was killed."
Emperor Mingyan was extremely angry and said coldly: "A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge! This group of people really wasted my Yue'er's true love!"
He said, "Call Yue'er. If she is not awake, don't call her. If she is awake, ask her to come see me!"
Gu Jiuxing responded quickly.
Yan Shiyue was really not awake at this hour. She was woken up by the Fourth Prince. Huo Qijing was taller than the Fourth Prince, but he did not call her.
Yan Shiyue got up in a daze, and after listening to what they said, she gradually came to her senses.
She asked, "Have you found out why?"
...
...
"We found out," Jiahe said, "It is said that someone accidentally took disinfectant powder and vomited for a while, then rolled over in pain, and his hands were burned. Then someone said that Your Highness poisoned people, and then there was a commotion."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Didn't they send anyone to preach?"
"It was announced! Not only that, but also the water had to be boiled and so on. The commander sent people to repeatedly announce many things," Jiahe said, "and notices were posted."
The fourth prince punched the armrest and said angrily, "These unruly people are really chilling!"
Yan Shiyue was unexpectedly calm. She said, "Fourth brother, this is a conspiracy."
The fourth prince frowned: "Hmm?"
Yan Shiyue said: "No one would deliberately advertise that the disinfectant powder was made by me. Even if someone said it, there were notices and lectures, these people have porridge to drink, will they really eat the disinfectant powder? After eating it and getting sick, they dare to set fire to the princess's manor? This is unreasonable in itself."
"I know that people have been scolding me these days, calling me hypocritical and vicious... You know, even if I didn't give out porridge, I gave people a shelter, took in the elderly and children, and didn't ask them to sell their bodies. No matter how you put it, I'm much better than those human traffickers, right? Besides, I'm a princess, how dare they scold me? Why are they so united and scolding me alone? I've always found it strange."
"You know, the essence of human beings is repetition..."
Yan Shiyue narrowly swallowed the word "opportunity" and continued, "I once told my brother, the prince, that groups can only do two things: add icing on the cake or add insult to injury. People are always used to following the crowd. Therefore, in a group, the first person to speak is crucial. So, who guided the public opinion? Let the public opinion attack me?"
She smiled slightly: "Brother, do you still remember the fart from the Imperial Observatory?"
The fourth prince: “…”
She said, "Someone is deliberately trying to ruin my reputation. When one plan fails, he comes up with another one, using natural disasters and man-made disasters as tools. Oh, he's really exhausted. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon? Can you just squeeze me?"
The fourth prince rebuked her: "Don't speak village language!"
"I didn't speak village language. After all, I am a beautiful fairy."
Yan Shiyue thought to herself, I really think I am your father, and then she smiled and said, "Let's eat first."
The fourth prince who was listening intently: "???"
The three of them ate first, and then the people sent by the palace came over. Yan Shiyue said to the eunuch, "Go back and tell my father that I'm fine and not sad. I'll go find out what happened and then go to the palace to report to my father."
The eunuch was numb. Since the prince didn't want to go, then he would go back to report.
Then the fourth prince asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "I usually won't be unlucky for such a long time. If I am unlucky for such a long time, it must be man-made. There must be a reversal. So, I will go out and see if I can pick up some good luck."
Listen! Is this human language? Bring back some good fortune!
The fourth prince asked seriously, "What blessing are you picking?"
"I don't know?" Yan Shiyue touched his chin and said, "I can't control it. I want to find out who is causing trouble among the victims. Based on past experience, I think it should be related to this."
Huo Qijing ordered his personal soldiers: "Go tell General Wei that I have something to do today and cannot go."
Yan Shiyue changed her clothes and the three of them went out together.
They rode all the way to the city gate. The gatekeeper was still the captain of the Longwu Army, Han Liang. When he saw them coming, he came over and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, the commander-in-chief said that you are not allowed to leave the city."
"Oh," Yan Shiyue said, "Then turn over there."
Han Liang didn't understand for a moment: "What?"
"Toward that direction," she pointed, "turn around."
Han Liang half turned around in confusion, and she turned her horse and left, saying, "Okay, since you didn't see it, I don't blame you."
Han Liang: “…”
Is this okay? ?
Less than a mile out of the city gate, there are rows of soup kitchen stalls.
There was a shed very close to the door. There were many people queuing up, and many people were chanting Buddha's name. The sound merged into one, which was very spectacular.
This is the soup-giving shed of Prince Chun's mansion. It is said that if you chant the Buddha's name a hundred times, you can get a piece of cake, and if you chant the Buddha's name a thousand times, you can get a cotton-padded jacket, so naturally a lot of people gathered here.
Princess Chun and her daughter-in-law were guarding it personally.
She really wanted to accumulate virtue and have a son and a grandson. She was competitive in everything, but neither she nor her daughter-in-law were weak in this regard.
The sky was gloomy and she was very upset. She scolded her daughter-in-law casually: "Look at you, what a mess you are in! You were asked to do good deeds, not to be a servant! You are really embarrassing!"
The daughter-in-law Huang responded meekly, "Yes, mother-in-law." While handing the cotton-padded jacket to the old woman, she took out a piece of cake and quietly stuffed it into her mouth.
Princess Chun happened to see it, and Mei Yixuan was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she raised her eyes and saw three horses on the official road.
Princess Chun was in high spirits, and immediately took a step forward, saying in a sharp voice: "Oh my! Isn't this our Queen Fu! Your Highness, I pay my respects to you! How did you find time to come here? Your Highness, please don't take yesterday's incident to heart!"
As she shouted, the victims all looked up, and many said, "Goddess Fu! It's Goddess Fu!"
Yan Shiyue looked over calmly.
At this moment, the thick clouds above her head suddenly broke, and a ray of clear yellow light suddenly leaked out, shining on her.
Everyone exclaimed almost at the same time.
Then the densely packed crowds of people began to kneel down in groups. Perhaps even they themselves did not know how they knelt down.
The light was only a sliver, illuminating only her and her horse. Even Huo Qijing, who was walking side by side with her, only had half of his horse's body visible. The Fourth Prince, who was a few steps behind them, didn't even get exposed.
Yan Shiyue was wearing a Hu costume with a moon-white background and a swastika pattern, his hair tied up with a jade crown, and he was riding a red horse. He looked extremely handsome and heroic.
Under the beam of light, people couldn't see her appearance clearly, they just felt that her whole face was glowing and melting like snow, just like a fairy descending to earth.
