The arrow hit the prince's chest with such accuracy that everyone was shocked.
Who is it?
There is such exquisite archery skill?
The person who shot the arrow was a woman whom Li Qingluo had never expected - Su Miaoyu.
"It's the former Crown Princess!"
"Why is she back?"
Su Miaoyu nodded to Li Qingluo from a distance.
After the death of the former Crown Prince Duan Rongyin in treason, the Su family, the Crown Princess's maternal family, disappeared from Jinling overnight.
And now, the Su family is back again?
How did they disappear?
How did you come back?
However, as soon as the Crown Princess came back, she shot and killed the noble prince of the Great Chu in the street. I wonder if she will suffer the consequences?
But the Su family was implicated by the prince in the first place, so they can’t be free from the responsibility, right?
Just then, the Royal Guards rushed into the street.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
The people on the street had just stood up when they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the emperor—"
I originally wanted to travel incognito, but ended up causing such a big commotion.
Duan Rongshi caught up on horseback.
Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, he first looked at Li Qingluo's carriage.
"Is the Queen frightened?"
Li Qingluo lifted a corner of the car curtain and shook his head.
Duan Rongshi then immediately turned to the commander Wu Wei and said, "The prince of Shunyang Marquisate disrespected the empress, spoke wildly, and disregarded the law. He has been shot dead in the street!"
"Carry this boy to the gate of Shunyang Marquis's mansion so that Shunyang Marquis can see the good son he has raised!"
"Let him give an explanation to me, the Queen, and the whole country. Otherwise, the Shunyang Marquisate will be demoted to a commoner and sent back to Nan'an!"
Wu Wei immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"
Everyone on the street was walking on thin ice, not even daring to breathe.
The new emperor Duan Rongshi personally led the queen's carriage and turned back to the palace.
With all this commotion already happening, nothing can be accomplished today.
Although Li Qingluo felt sorry, she was very happy to see Su Miaoyu back.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Su Miaoyu paid a visit to Li Qingluo, who gave her a seat.
"Have you really decided to settle down in Yangzhou?"
"I have mentioned your Su family to His Majesty. He said that if your Su family is willing to come back, he will find a new official position for your father."
"If you don't wish to serve as an official in the imperial court again, Grand Tutor Su can also spend his remaining years in Nanjing."
Su Miaoyu nodded and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Madam, and Your Majesty for still thinking about our Su family."
"If the Empress had not secretly arranged for our Su family to leave Jinling, we would not have the peaceful life we have today."
"It must have been torn to pieces back then."
"Now that I've distanced myself from these disputes and struggles, there's no need to reenter the vortex."
"Why add to the controversy?"
"Anyway, my brothers are useless."
"As for the younger generation, if there are talented scholars, I hope that His Majesty and His Majesty will show mercy and allow our Su family another chance to pass the imperial examinations and gain fame, and a chance to build a bright future."
"Our Su family is already deeply grateful and will always remember the kindness of the Empress and His Highness."
Li Qingluo: "No need to be so polite. That arrow you shot yourself back then was a gesture of righteousness, a mark of the line between you, the Su family, and the Eastern Palace."
"It's just that for the safety of your Su family, this truth and secret cannot be made public."
Su Miaoyu stood up and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace."
"Our Su family is still what it is today because Your Majesty gave me the opportunity to choose."
"This time I came back, besides wanting to settle some old matters, I also wanted to come back and visit the queen."
"I heard that the Queen has established a girls' school, a girls' martial arts school, and a charity hall that specifically takes in and raises orphans."
"I wondered if I could follow your example and start something like this in Yangzhou."
"If Your Majesty grants permission, I will do my best to accomplish this."
Li Qingluo nodded and smiled: "Of course."
"Furthermore, I strongly support the establishment of these institutions that benefit women all over the world."
"Madam Su, I am looking forward to the day when you become famous in Yangzhou."
Su Miaoyu: "Having a queen like you is a blessing for all the women in Da Yue. I will definitely live up to your expectations and will definitely inherit your wishes."
After Su Miaoyu left, Li Qingluo quickly sent in the killer.
"What's wrong with you today?"
"Who is that little girl?"
Before Sha Yi could reply, Que'er beside him laughed out loud.
"My lady, you really don't remember?"
Li Qingluo felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
"Do you really know each other?"
"I don't even have any impression of it."
Sha Yi's ears turned slightly red.
"Your Majesty, I was merely helping out because I saw injustice. Furthermore, that playboy dared to act so presumptuously right under your nose..."
"I have no other intentions."
Li Qingluo: "You're lying."
"Shayi, you even dare to deceive me?"
Li Qingluo narrowed her eyes and looked at Sha Yi coldly, "Then tell me first, who is that little girl from?"
Sha Yi stammered, "It's, it's the sister of Lord Shen..."
Li Qingluo slapped his forehead and the sound finally came.
“Shen Anyu’s sister, Shen Nianyu?”
"Look at my memory."
"This girl and Pan Li came to me twice, and I totally forgot about it."
The queer beside him said, "Yes, my lady."
"I've noticed that your memory isn't as good as it used to be since you gave birth to the little princess."
