Understanding Pei Qianluo's hardship from traveling for days, Su Yunxuan rejected Pei Qianluo's kindness. She told Pei Qianluo that Concubine Xu and her father were already preparing for them.

After leaving Pei Qianluo, Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng quickly returned to the palace.

On the way, after agreeing on the content of the notice, Su Yunxuan asked the question in her mind, "How did Brother Changfeng know that Yun Lianzi's sister was Queen Zhaoxia's personal maid?"

"Because of that plaque and two words from my grandfather." Su Changfeng replied.

Seeing that Su Yunxuan was puzzled, he continued to explain: "The plaque of saving the world was sent to the Taifu Mansion by someone from the palace half a year before I decided to go out and look for you.

I was living in my maternal grandfather's house at that time. When the plaque was delivered, my grandfather was teaching me in the study. The people in the mansion knew the rules and did not dare to go in and disturb him. They just followed the orders and delivered the plaque to the study and then hurried out.

At first I thought it was just another gift from the palace, and my grandfather went over to lift the curtain after discussing it with me. It was not until I noticed my grandfather's expression after seeing the content on the plaque that I knew this plaque was different.

Although my grandfather didn't want to tell me the truth, I still remember the two sentences he said after he stared at the plaque for a long time with tearful eyes.

One sentence is: Yun Lianzi, you chose the greater good, but my Ying'er is so innocent.

Another sentence was him taking a big step back and sighing with his fists clenched: Forget it, if I continue to argue with you, it will seem that I am even inferior to you.

I only know that Yun Lianzi was my great-grandfather's most proud female disciple. I didn't know she would be the empress dowager before. I only found out after I came back this time and talked with Xuan Huangzi and Bai Shu.

Bai Shu was just like me before, I just thought that the plaque was given by the emperor, so I didn’t mention it to you…”

The two's conversation about Yun Lianzi continued until they entered the palace.

At Su Yunxuan's request, the two went to the Taimiao first, and reverently paid homage to Yun Lianzi before returning to the imperial study to write the notice.

After stamping the document, Ruoying rushed to the Jinzouyuan with the seal, and instructed everyone in the Jinzouyuan to copy it quickly. After posting it on bulletin boards throughout the capital, she returned to report.

As soon as the notice came out, the onlookers were once again in an uproar.

Most people were happy and gave their blessings after knowing that the Empress would hold a wedding ceremony with Su Taifu at the Lookout Tower at 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Ordinary people are not like the officials in the court and cannot analyze the pros and cons.

They only want their lives to be guaranteed. As for whether the empress gets married or not, who she marries, and whose status and interests will be involved, it has nothing to do with them.

In the eyes of most of them, the end of the Yunsheng disaster and the empress's marriage were great joyous events. Of course, they had to spread the news and go to see the excitement.

As for the rumors that the empress was a disaster star and that were widely circulated before, most of them had long forgotten them.

People rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and soon the notice boards in various places in the capital were crowded with people.

Even though the sky was getting increasingly cloudy, it couldn't suppress everyone's enthusiasm for discussing this.

In a hidden corner near the city gate, Ruofeng was immobilized by the so-called Shiguo Master. Upon hearing the news that Su Changfeng and Su Yunxuan would be getting married at 3 p.m. tomorrow, an unprecedented bright smile bloomed on his icy face.

Upon seeing this, Master Shiguo shook his head at him seriously, then raised his fingers and sighed, "The time is just right!"

"Do you feel great too?" Ruofeng was so excited that he wanted to share his joy with others for the first time in his life.

Master Shiguo glanced at him, did not answer him, and just waved the whisk in his hand.

As his whisk was placed back on his wrist, thunder suddenly roared in the sky.

A moment later, heavy rain poured down.

His eyes widened in shock. Wherever Ruofeng looked, he saw people running around with their heads in their hands in the heavy rain.

......

At the court meeting the next day, Su Yunxuan informed the officials that 132 doctors from Baiyun Sect came to Yunsheng with a large amount of precious medicinal materials to help. Together with the 38 doctors recruited by Su Changfeng, a total of 170 people completely solved the biggest problem facing Yunsheng.

As long as these 170 people can completely eliminate the epidemic caused by the natural disaster as soon as possible, Yunsheng will be able to return to its former national strength in the near future.

Afterwards, she asked for everyone's opinions on the distribution of the food that Pei Qianluo brought back.

According to the original plan, King Xu's men and Su Changfeng will need to go to the place where the epidemic broke out in two days; Pei Qianluo will set off for Fenglan the day after tomorrow to follow up on the subsequent grain sales.

The task of transporting and distributing the existing food to the disaster areas became a problem.

Putting Su Yunxuan's issue aside, the ministers looked at each other, and for a long time no one took the initiative to step forward and volunteer.

In their view, transporting and distributing grain is not only a long and arduous journey, but if the grain is robbed along the way as rumored, or if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain given the empress's current rigorous way of doing things.

Not to mention that many people had already learned from the information privately leaked by Cui Situ last night that the quantities of these grains had been recorded exactly according to the empress's order, and the empress had written documents specifying where they were transported and what information the person in charge needed to bring back when he returned.

In a word: this mission will not bring any benefits except hard work.

How could those male officials who have been immersed in officialdom for many years be willing to stand up?

There were quite a few new female officials who had not received any news or had no elders to teach them at home and were eager to try, but seeing that no senior volunteered for a long time, they had to suppress their desire and chose to observe.

The visual effect on the high platform is very good.

Even if the people below lowered their heads slightly, some of the micro-expressions and small movements that they wanted to hide could still be seen.

Su Yunxuan was very pleased with the performance of these female officials who she and Pei Qianluo had carefully selected.

But sometimes and in some places, there are indeed differences between men and women.

The journey is difficult and the food is heavy, and they may face many unknown problems when they arrive at the disaster areas. It is difficult for these new female officials to keep the situation under control.

But women also have advantages that men cannot match...

No one stepped forward for a long time, and Su Yunxuan was sitting on the dragon throne with a serious expression, staring at the people below without saying a word. When Su Changfeng was about to step forward, Su Yunxuan suddenly moved.

With her wide sleeves fluttering, Su Yunxuan suddenly stood up.

She walked to the front of the platform with an imposing manner, and said majestically: "The policy of two officials in the court and selecting the best and eliminating them has been announced for some time. This mission is a perfect opportunity for inspection.

Except for those officials who had to stay in the capital due to missions, all the ministers went out to see the people and gain some experience.

Male and female officials of the same position work as a group and are responsible for delivering and distributing food to a place according to the contents of the documents.

I will order people to seal the tasks in different letters, and each person's specific destination will be determined by drawing a letter.

I will also re-arrange your new destinations after the court hearing based on your performance in completing the tasks. The entire inspection process is open, fair and just, and everyone is welcome to supervise each other."
