Even the ministers could think of the secret memorials, so of course Emperor Ming Yan and the Crown Prince could think of them as well.
After the ministers left, Emperor Mingyan asked the crown prince, "What do you think about this?"
The prince said, "Yue'er has always done things in a high-profile manner. When her informant box reaches the people, how can the common people tell the difference between the Ministry of Commerce and others? They only know that what is put into the box will be seen by Empress Fu, and naturally someone will put the petition in. This can be regarded as opening a channel for the court to speak out. Let's try it for a while and see."
He paused, "As for the officials... I think that using secret memorials is a way to make officials supervise each other, especially for officials sent out to other places, so that they can be the eyes and ears of the emperor. But how to make it 'secret' and how to avoid being deceived by it all require careful planning. I think there is no need to rush."
Emperor Ming Yan did not comment.
The prince has become more calm recently. He reviewed memorials in the palace in an orderly manner, neither avoiding taboos nor being reckless. He was extremely calm. And Yan Shiyue's living in Changle Palace did not affect the relationship between the brother and sister at all.
He has a clear mind and knows what is important. He has indeed made progress.
Emperor Ming Yan said, "Go down and think about it, and write a proposal."
The prince replied, "Yes."
On Yan Shiyue's side, after drafting the management regulations, he immediately asked Xu Wenqu to copy them, then made several copies, put them in glass frames, and asked each franchisee to hang them on the wall.
...
...
Afterwards, the "Sky Eye" boxes were quickly sent to various places and hung up in places where there were a lot of people coming and going.
She had specially asked Prince An to write it. Prince An's calligraphy was extremely powerful, and the two characters were written with great force, as if he was about to come out with his hair untied and his sword wielded, which had a very intimidating effect.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Shiyue packed up and prepared to return to Chang'an.
I was hugging the two little ones and kissing them at night when I heard someone knocking on the window outside and said, "Master, this subordinate Hengyi has something to report."
Yan Shiyue came out, and the shadow guard whispered, "The capital has sent a message that Sun from the third room of Prince An's mansion has hanged herself."
Yan Shiyue was surprised: "What? Dead?"
You have to know that the order Yan Shiyue issued at the beginning was to take away all of Sun’s belongings.
So, Sun found out very quickly.
When she saw that all the silver and deeds were gone, she was so frightened that she immediately wanted to go to the first wife to report to the police.
Then Yan Shiyue's shadow guard appeared and told her that this was Yan Shiyue's order and pointed out what happened that year.
Although Sun was calculating, she was not very courageous and was frightened at the time.
In this case, of course she didn't dare to speak out, and she didn't dare to ask Meng Min, the only person she could ask for help. After thinking it over, she went to find Yan Ronghua.
When Yan Ronghua heard this, she was so frightened that her soul flew away. She asked in shock: "Mother, why did you do this?"
Sun cried, "Mother was just confused for a moment. Mother did it for you! At that time, your second uncle's couple had three sons and they wanted a daughter. When you were born, Meng Min loved you so much that she held you in her arms every day and was reluctant to let you go. Even your second uncle, who was so cold-faced, was very gentle to you. He sent good things to the third room every day and treated you like his own daughter..."
She cried so hard that her voice was choked: "But after Wu Niang came, they turned their backs on us and never came again... My son, you don't have a father, and mother doesn't have a powerful family. If the second wife doesn't protect us, won't we be tortured by others?
I was just thinking wrongly for a moment. I thought that if Wu Niang was gone, they would definitely love my son more. Maybe they could even give him a dowry in the future. With their influence, my son could marry well and live well... Look, over the years, even though that fake guy was here, didn't Meng Min love my son the most? Mother did nothing wrong..."
Yan Ronghua frowned.
Indeed, although Yan Tingyue was around all these years, Meng Min still loved her the most.
If it weren't for Yan Shiyue, Meng Min would have always treated her like her own daughter. What would a dowry mean?
But Yan Shiyue didn't die, she came back, and now, she found Zhou Yu! What happened back then was actually brought to light!
Looking at Sun with tears all over her face, Yan Ronghua felt upset for a moment.
The maid outside called her: "Madam, the old lady wants you to come over!"
Yan Ronghua was shocked.
The Marquis's wife is not someone who is easy to get along with. If you ask her to go over there, I'm afraid nothing good will happen!
Yan Ronghua responded quickly and was about to turn around, but Sun grabbed her and said, "Hua'er, I don't have any money left. I can't make ends meet! You have to give me some money!"
Yan Ronghua had no choice but to ask her maid to take out fifty taels of silver, give it to Sun, and trot towards the main courtyard.
She didn't have a good life in the Marquis' Mansion.
After all, she was able to marry into the family because it was agreed in advance that Yan Shiyue would give birth to a child.
She had carefully considered Yan Shiyue's personality and thought that this was not difficult. It was natural to use a sure thing to seek a future. She never expected that Yan Shiyue would refuse.
From then on, her family treated her badly.
Pan Lan was originally a bastard and a eunuch. To outsiders, she seemed to be silent, but once she entered the room, she was like a madman... Now, except for the parts where she could meet people, there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body. It was covered with bruises from being bitten, pinched, or cut by knives. She felt like she was living a life worse than death.
But she still had a thought in her heart.
All she needs to do is find an opportunity to let Yan Shiyue see the injuries on her body... She is an upright and righteous person. Even if she hates her, she will not watch her die. In that case, even if she doesn't give her a child, she can help her get a divorce!
Yes, she wanted a divorce, she had thought it through, she no longer cared about the Marquis's Mansion!
She thought about it carefully. If she insisted on getting a divorce, she would be seen as a heretic in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Yan Shiyue, maybe he would think that she had finally come to her senses and would lend her a helping hand.
As long as she can escape from this den of wolves, she will accept it even if it means a bad reputation!
But even if the plan was well thought out, it would be in vain if he couldn't even see Yan Shiyue. Now, such a thing happened again!
Yan Ronghua was actually somewhat desperate for a moment.
He hurried to see the Marquis's wife, who said coldly, "A married woman should serve her husband well and stop thinking about her parents' home."
Yan Ronghua said anxiously, "Yes, daughter-in-law understands. My mother just came here because something happened. She has already been sent back."
The Marquis's wife nodded gracefully and glanced at her with contempt.
The noble ladies of the royal palace, the sisters of His Highness Fu Yan, can't get any credit no matter which side they are on... This daughter-in-law has always thought herself to be smart, but she sees that she is just a fool!
Then Yan Ronghua served her attentively for most of the day. When he returned to the room, Pan Lan was reading a book in the room. He raised his head and asked coldly, "Where have you been this time?"
