Bang bang bang!
The sixth princess, her face flushed red, threw things around in a fit of rage at the mansion.
Sui Mo arrived late, his expression composed as he stood quietly in the corner.
Knowing that the Sixth Princess had also been sent to the disaster area, and that it was by the Emperor's own hand, she guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, not long after, he was summoned to the Imperial Study.
She and the entire group of Qingluan Guards were there to accompany and protect the princess, a fact that Suimo understood, but then...
She was actually a little dazed, because His Majesty had given her a secret decree in the Imperial Study.
It wasn't an imperial edict, but a decree stamped with the national seal and issued by the Fenggetai (Imperial Secretariat) through official channels!
Looking at the Sixth Princess, who was throwing things around in a fit of rage, Sui Mo still found it hard to believe that His Majesty would trust her so much.
The next moment, Qin Zhaoyue caught sight of the shards of ink in the corner and rushed over. "Did you already know?"
How could she not understand now?
What do you mean by bestowing the Azure Phoenix Guard upon her, and even directly assigning her the title of centurion? From that moment on, the Empress Dowager had already planned to send her to the disaster area.
"I just found out today."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Sui Mo remained calm. "Your Highness, this is an imperial edict announced in front of all the civil and military officials. Throwing a tantrum will not work."
If she defied the imperial decree, being stripped of her princess title and exiled to the frontier would be no joke.
Qin Zhaoyue's chest heaved violently, her face contorted in a grimace; she was well aware of this principle.
The only way now is to get His Majesty to retract his order, but she can't even get into the Imperial Study. It's clear they're determined to make her go!
She was naive; she actually thought that telling the truth and revealing her true feelings would extricate her from the struggle for the throne and that would be the end of it.
Sui Mo sighed inwardly. Knowing the Sixth Princess as she did, she knew that if she didn't calm down, this disaster relief trip would be a disaster for her.
The Sixth Princess dares not vent her anger on His Majesty, but must we take it out on her?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and continued:
"The situation in the disaster area is uncertain, and there may be riots by the rioters. I will protect Your Highness closely."
However, I can plead with His Majesty to allow me to bring a full group of twelve Azure Phoenix Guards.”
Qin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke, glaring fiercely at the other person, "You're threatening me? You dare threaten me? Guards!"
Sui Mo's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this was too much of a shock.
If the Sixth Princess throws a tantrum and acts recklessly, how can she fulfill His Majesty's orders?
"Someone come here! Bring a chair for Lord Suimo."
Broken Ink: ...
"You must be exhausted from running around all morning, Tao Yao. Quickly bring Lord Sui Mo a cup of good tea. Don't you have any sense of propriety?"
Sui Mo's eyes widened, her attitude completely changing, and she was terrified. This sixth princess was much scarier than when she threw a tantrum and broke things.
She took a step back and was about to kneel on one knee when she said, "Your subordinate is terrified."
But she couldn't kneel down because Qin Zhaoyue reached out and supported her arm, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? It's all what I should do."
"Can you really call a team of people? Do you have that authority?"
Sui Mo immediately replied, "I have eight groups of Azure Phoenix Guards under my command. Since His Majesty has sent his subordinates to protect Your Highness's safety, it is no problem to send another group."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to the palace and ask for the imperial decree!"
Half a cup of tea later, Suimo stood at the entrance of the princess's residence, feeling extremely uneasy.
This has forced the princess to back down, but once things are over... given her temper, the harder she endures now, the more ferocious her retaliation will be later.
"Why……"
With a long sigh, I thought, "Forget it, let's get through this first."
If we have succeeded in protecting you this time, we request that Your Majesty allow us to return to the palace.
There's no need to ask for permission; His Majesty already said he would bring a group of people, and she only needs to select suitable candidates.
Qin Zhaoyue returned to her bedroom. Hmph, let Suimo be smug for a while.
Once we've done our job in disaster relief, we'll definitely bring those people over and give them a good dressing down.
She dismissed all her personal maids because the Book of Merits in her mind finally began to respond.
Lying in bed with my eyes closed, I turned to the first page, and the words appeared on it:
In the fourteenth year of the Taiwei era, on the summer solstice, floods struck sixteen counties in three prefectures.
Princess Qin Zhaoyue proposed a fundraising method, and within a day, most of the disaster relief funds were raised.
The total merit is 500,000, the disaster relief progress is 10%, the contribution rate is 40%, and the merit value is 20,000.
In addition, there is an exchange list where you can exchange merit points for martial arts cultivation.
There are 1,000 ninth-rank martial artists, 2,000 eighth-rank, 4,000 seventh-rank, and 10,000 sixth-rank.
Qin Zhaoyue figured she couldn't escape this disaster relief trip; her mother was determined to deal with her.
We're about to head to the disaster area, and even the prime minister said there might be a riot by the victims. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others!
She has already seen a bright path. As the saying goes, one force can overcome ten techniques. Once she accumulates enough merit from this disaster relief effort, she can directly advance to a high-level martial artist.
Hmph, let's see who dares to bully her then, not even the Empress!
Without hesitation, Qin Zhaoyue immediately consumed 17,000 merit points and instantly advanced to the sixth-rank martial artist.
At that moment, she felt full of power, and a stream of true energy circulated in her dantian.
Qin Zhaoyue sprang up from the bed and quickly moved around the room.
This power, this speed, this graceful movement amidst falling petals, this feeling of a strong wind brushing against your face!
"Hahaha……"
Qin Zhaoyue roared to the sky, her unrestrained laughter echoing in the room. Her formidable strength was truly mesmerizing.
These tiny bits of ink, how laughable!
At the bedroom door, Tao Yao and Ying Nuo exchanged a glance and trembled.
Oh no, oh no, has the princess gone mad?
The next moment, the door suddenly opened, startling them both.
"Summon the gentle breeze and the fine rain for me."
