Chapter 38 Public Resentment
On this day, the weather was particularly hot, the sun was scorching the earth, and the temperature on the bluestone board could have fried an egg.
Yu Nuan stood in the open space with all the people under the blazing flames.
Yu Nuan was really worried that the people would not be able to bear the scorching sun, but what could be done? She wanted to have people rush to make tents, but time was limited and it required a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, so it was impossible to do it.
The sun is high and some children can no longer hold on.
Standing so far away, Yu Nuan could hear the people questioning her, and some even yelling at her.
Yu Nuan's eyes were filled with mist, and she also felt aggrieved.
"Xiaozhou, gather all the children here with us." Yu Nuan said softly.
Zhou Xiaozhou nodded and asked Zhizhou to handle this matter.
The people were very resentful towards Yunuan, and some stubborn people were unwilling to send their children there at all.
Xiaozhou is a man of the world and cannot force things, so he doesn't bother to take care of others if they don't want to.
The sun was still scorching hot, and suddenly someone screamed. Yunuan's swollen head suddenly woke up, and she asked hurriedly.
"Bao'er! Bao'er! My child, save my child!"
It was a woman who had been working all year round, and the child she held in her arms had obviously fainted.
Yu Nuan couldn't care less and hurried over with the doctor.
"What kind of princess? I think she is a witch who is bringing disaster to the country!"
"The witch who is causing harm to the country!"
Many people began to curse and speak viciously, even with vile words that were hard to hear.
"There is such a witch in our country, Song Ling, and our country will be destroyed!"
Someone shouted again.
"Get out of the way and let the doctor take a look at the child." Yu Nuan couldn't care less, she said anxiously.
"Get out of here!" An old woman pushed Yu Nuan away, who was coming over. Yu Nuan was unguarded, staggered and almost fell down.
"Bah! I don't want you to be such a hypocritical witch! Who knows if you want to harm my grandson?" The old woman's eyes had a vicious light, "Why don't you die? God doesn't open his eyes."
"You let us bask in the sun when you have nothing to do. What do you think about it?"
"You just want to torture us to death! You just want to torture us! You witch! You don't have to die well! You don't have to die well!" The old woman was so angry that she even fainted from anger.
This moment seemed to ignite public anger, and all of it rushed towards Yu Nuan.
Their originally simple and honest faces showed malice and hatred, and they crusaded against this restless and kind-hearted princess.
This aloof princess is willful and vicious. What exactly does she want to do? They don’t know. But how can the old, weak, women and children stand being exposed to the sun like this?!
This is forcing them to die!
Zhou Xiaozhou realized something was wrong and came over quickly.
He was not as considerate as Yu Nuan. He was a lonely man in the world, so he showed his weapon and said coldly: "If any of you comes one step closer, I will kill him!"
Even though Zhou Xiaozhou's bun-shaped face usually looks cute, in fact, when he really showed murderous intent, it was really terrifying, and all the people present were calmed down at once.
This is Fengdu, not all the people gather here, there are other large areas of open space, and there are more than one people who insult Yu Nuan.
For a time, Song Yunuan's reputation was notorious.
In addition, many old and weak women and children fainted due to exposure to the sun, and the people complained so much that they almost didn't rise up.
This incident quickly spread to the capital.
Emperor Hongyuan was a good emperor who loved his people. When he saw the document jointly submitted by Yuzhou, Yunzhou, Fengdu, and Qincheng, Longyan was furious and even summoned Song Yujin into the palace.
The capital has been uneasy recently, and Song Yujin has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't know much about the news from the four states. He only thought that entering the palace this time was a matter of government affairs.
When he walked into the main hall, a booklet came to him.
He didn't dare to hide, his cheeks as warm as white jade were slightly red, which was caused by the memorial.
He walked over and saluted Emperor Hongyuan.
"Song Yujin, where is your sister?" Emperor Hongyuan's face was solemn, and his expression was particularly ugly.
Song Yujin noticed the people in the Imperial Study Room, including several cabinet ministers. Something big must have happened.
And this matter is also related to Yu Nuan.
Song Yujin said: "When I return to my father, Yu Nuan has gone out to play."
He also told the truth, Yu Nuan was indeed not in the capital, and this was no secret.
"A trip? What a trip! Take a good look at it. This is a memorial jointly signed by Yuzhou, Yunzhou, Qincheng and Fengdu. Look at the good things your sister has done." Emperor Hongyuan was furious.
Song Yujin's heart skipped a beat. He bent down to pick up the memorial, opened it and read it.
His eyes as warm as glass suddenly showed a look of worry, "Father, this is impossible! Yu Nuan is not that kind of person."
"I also hope that someone is slandering this!" Emperor Hongyuan was reluctant to part with his daughter, but if this daughter was a disaster, then what should be dealt with must be dealt with.
He lowered his head and wrote the imperial edict.
"Tong Jian, send people to Fengdu to report that Princess Yujia has returned to Beijing!"
Song Yujin subconsciously took a step forward and said urgently: "Father, I would like to go with you."
"Nonsense!" Emperor Hongyuan scolded, "Do you know what is happening in the four states now?"
Song Yujin gritted her teeth: "It is precisely because I know that I want to go. I don't want Yu Nuan to be harmed in the slightest."
If the people riot and the governor rebels, Yu Nuan will be in a certain death situation.
Why on earth would Yu Nuan do such a thing? Is she really just messing around?
Song Yujin felt that Yu Nuan was not that kind of person.
"Let's take a look at the situation in Yujia first." When Emperor Hongyuan heard Song Yujin's words, he felt somewhat comforted. At least his son was a kind and righteous person. Most importantly, there were important things in the capital, and Song Yujin couldn't leave.
.
Tong Jian sent someone to rush to Fengdu.
Yu Nuan has been holding the position with the people for two days. Fortunately, Cuihua 001 said that the earthquake occurred during the day and nothing happened at night.
This can also be regarded as giving the people a chance to breathe.
That night, Yunuan received an imperial edict from the palace.
Return to Beijing?
"No, I won't go back!" Yu Nuan said firmly.
The eunuch was surprised. He had heard too many bad rumors about Princess Yujia along the way. It would be the most unsafe for Princess Yujia to stay here. Now that she returns to Beijing, there might be room for change.
"Your Highness, please think carefully. Even if you are disobeying the order, it is extremely dangerous for you to stay here now."
"I won't come back!" Yu Nuan said firmly, "I'm here to see you off."
The eunuch's persuasion was fruitless, so he had no choice but to retreat. He first sent a flying pigeon to the palace to pass the message, then rested for a night, and then hurried back the next day.
When Emperor Hongyuan received the letter from Fei Ge, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Very good!
