Everyone turned to look at the newcomer, an elderly woman who, judging from her attire, was likely a palace maid.
The old nanny curtsied to Gu Jing and said, "Madam, Princess Le'an sent me to inform you that you may stay in Yuncheng to give birth. You can leave after giving birth."
Princess Le'an?
Who is Princess Le'an? When did Yun Qi acquire a Princess Le'an? How come she didn't know?
"May I ask, Granny, who is this Princess Le'an?" Gu Jing asked.
"Princess Le'an is the Chang Le County Princess of the Great Chu, newly bestowed by the Emperor. If Madam has nothing else, this old servant will take her leave." The nanny bowed and left.
Is Princess Le'an Su Ruojin?
Therefore, Su Ruojin is now both the Princess of Da Chu and the Princess of Yun Qi.
Gu Jing was somewhat stunned.
Miao Dong was overjoyed. "That's wonderful, Madam. We can give birth to our little master in Yun City."
Yun Gan has been expelled from Yun City and doesn't know where he'll go. If his wife follows him around and gives birth along the way, or if something happens to her, then he'll be left with no one to turn to.
Being able to stay in Yuncheng to give birth now is the best thing ever.
Gu Jing wasn't stupid; she understood that this was Su Ruojin returning the favor she had given Su Ruojin.
She stroked her belly and suddenly felt grateful that she had realized her mistake in time.
At the same time, Magistrate Zhang of the Capital was dismissed from his post, his property was confiscated, and he was exiled thousands of miles away for several crimes, including dereliction of duty and accepting bribes.
The crimes committed by the Taoist priest Tianyi were made public, and he was sentenced to be publicly executed by dismemberment.
Anyone who participated in the looting or killing of children at Tianning Temple was arrested and sentenced to beheading.
The new emperor's move won the praise of the people of Yunqi.
Yan Gang, the former top scholar in the imperial examination, divorced Princess Anxing and was appointed as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He then brought back his first wife, Qin Niang, and the family of four was reunited.
Not long after, it was discovered that the deposed empress had poisoned the fourth prince born to the former imperial concubine. She was executed, the Sun family was raided, and everyone in the family was exiled.
At the same time, the Zhao family also received two imperial edicts.
One measure was to confirm the Zhao family as imperial merchants, and the other was to appoint Zhao Jingning, the daughter of the Zhao family, as empress. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony and the empress's investiture ceremony were held simultaneously.
Before Yun Hao issued the imperial edict, Su Ruojin had asked Zhao Jingning for her opinion. If her cousin was unwilling, she would ask Yun Hao to cancel the edict, so as not to wrong her cousin.
Seeing her cousin blush and nod gently, Su Ruojin understood.
It seems that the act that Yunhao and his cousin put on that night was starting to turn into something more.
Since her cousin is willing, she won't stop her.
Given Yun Hao's character, he would certainly not mistreat her cousin, and she felt at ease entrusting her to him.
With a daughter serving as Empress in the palace, who in Yunqi would dare to look down on the Zhao family?
There was not much time left before the New Year, and if they wanted to get back to the Great Chu for the New Year, they had no choice but to ride their horses day and night.
But my grandmother is too old to ride a horse, and there's definitely not enough time to take a carriage.
The old lady saw Su Ruojin's predicament and smiled, "Xiaojin, you and the Regent should go back first. This is your first New Year back in the General's Mansion, you can't miss it. Your grandmother is getting old, so she will stay in Yunqi for the New Year this year. This may be the last time your grandmother spends the New Year in Yunqi."
Zhao Guangtao also chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Jin, let your grandmother stay in Yunqi. Once the Lunar New Year is over, I will definitely send someone to escort her back. You have nothing to worry about in Yunqi now."
Su Ruojin thought about it and realized that there really wasn't a better way.
Now, no one dares to harm Yunqi's grandmother.
She could only nod.
Xiao Yanchu sighed inwardly.
The old lady will not set off for Da Chu until after the Lunar New Year. It will take her about a month to get back to Da Chu, and he will have to wait another month or so before he can go to the Su family to propose marriage.
Or... get married the day after the proposal!
Yes, that's it!
When we get back, let those charlatans at the Imperial Observatory pick a date.
