Chapter 144 The Troublemaker
After Su Yinyin returned to the Su residence, she was summoned by the emperor.
No sooner had the eunuch left than the Princess Consort of Yong'an Prince's Mansion sent her trusted maid to deliver an invitation to Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin glanced at the invitation and told the person who sent it, "This princess will arrive as promised!"
Watching the departing maid, Su Yinyin smiled knowingly. "It seems there's fierce infighting within the Prince's mansion! I wonder if that brainless Su Yinhan can handle it!"
Su Yinyin carefully arranged the matters for the next morning with Su Yue and Li Lan.
"Uncle Li, spread the word. The supplies will only last for two hours each morning."
Each person can only receive one large bowl of porridge and one meat bun. A household registration is required, and a signature and fingerprint must be obtained before receiving the porridge to prevent fraudulent claims. Tables and chairs are placed nearby.
Li Lan asked in confusion, "Sister Yinyin, why is it arranged this way? Doesn't this make things much more complicated?"
Su Yinyin gently shook her head. "You don't understand. I did this to prevent anyone from greedily claiming more than they need."
Secondly, it also serves as a chance to see which of the people in the city are truly poor and which are pretending to be poor in order to take advantage of others.
Furthermore, once the news gets out, all sorts of forces will be watching, so we need to be more cautious and thorough in our actions.
Su Yue nodded in agreement, her gaze towards Su Yinyin becoming even more intense. Su Yinyin felt the burning, scorching gaze.
Following her instincts, she looked over and said, "Yueyue, why are you looking at your sister like that!"
Su Yue recalled the days of hunger: "Sister, you are as amazing as a fairy descended from heaven. I know what it feels like to be hungry, especially in this cold winter."
Su Yinyin knew, and thinking of the suffering she had endured before, she comforted her, "I will never let you suffer like that again!"
Su Yue nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
After returning to the post station, Murong Fu quickly summoned the imperial physician who had accompanied him.
After taking his pulse, the imperial physician exclaimed in amazement, "A miracle! A miracle!" "Your Highness, have you encountered a strange encounter? Or a divine physician? Or perhaps a deity?" The physician's words became increasingly outlandish.
Murong Fu asked urgently, "Don't talk nonsense, quickly tell me how my health is."
The imperial physician quickly composed himself and respectfully replied, "His Highness's body was already riddled with toxins, which had made the Crown Prince's condition critical."
Adding to the blow the Crown Prince suffered last night, his days are numbered.
The Crown Prince's poison has now been neutralized, and it seems a vital energy is protecting his heart meridian. His Highness is now in good health and will no longer suffer from the poison! Congratulations, Your Highness!
Murong Fu was secretly delighted, remembering the pills Su Yinyin had given him, plus the man's help.
Murong Fu understood everything. Su Yinyin had not only healed his internal injuries but also cured his poison.
Besides the gold mine, Murong Fu's main purpose for this trip was to find the divine physician currently in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The legendary healer was elusive and difficult to find. Therefore, upon hearing that the healer was here, he rushed over as quickly as possible, hoping to see him.
To his surprise, after being turned away by the miracle doctor, he was cured by Su Yinyin.
Yes, Murong Fu went to the Divine Physician's Pavilion to see the divine physician. But the physician was not there. So he went to the gold mine instead.
Murong Fu was inwardly excited, but smiled faintly and dismissed the imperial physician.
Sitting on the bed, he circulated his internal energy around his body and found that not only had the toxins completely disappeared, but his internal energy had also increased significantly.
Murong Fu gazed into the distance, his resolve hardening.
Murong Fu instructed his subordinates to prepare ten chests of jewels. He would personally visit them the next day!
The next morning, the porridge distribution area was bustling yet orderly. Su Yinyin arranged for some servants skilled in martial arts to maintain order, while Lao Wu kept order from the sidelines.
I'm not afraid of ordinary people causing trouble, but I'm afraid of street thugs or local bullies causing trouble.
Su Yinyin arranged for the porridge distribution point to be located not far from the city gate. This location was a shop that Su Yinyin had someone buy.
Some residents in the suburbs of Beijing who were affected by the snow disaster came here knowing that there was free porridge.
They arrived late and, having not received their gifts, started a commotion. The fifth brother immediately led the group in beating them to the ground.
He coldly stared at the group of people who had led the attack on the ground, but they refused to get up. They cried and screamed, shouting, "They've hit us! They've hit us! Don't you have any respect for the law?"
"You rich people are all hypocrites, pretending to be good people just to gain a good reputation!"
Upon hearing Bixia's report, Su Yinyin came out of the house and walked over to the group of people who were throwing a tantrum on the ground.
His eyes were icy. "Fifth brother, remember these faces, these troublemakers. From today onwards, they are not allowed to take anything from us. Not even a sip of porridge. If they cause any more trouble, send them straight to the authorities."
After Su Yinyin finished speaking, she looked at the crowd of people gathered around and said, "Fellow villagers, this porridge is meant to help the truly poor. If you were truly victims of the disaster, why would you only arrive now? You must have heard there was free food and are trying to take advantage of the situation." Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately fell silent.
"Furthermore, I, the princess, saw the plight of the starving people and decided to distribute porridge here in the hope that everyone can get through this cold winter. I hope you will have a better year ahead."
Is there anyone who, besides serving porridge, also serves meat buns? Why does this princess serve meat buns? This princess just wants you to have some oil in your stomachs so you can stay full a little longer.
This princess will be providing for them here for a month. I hope everyone will keep each other in check and not let these people disappoint this princess. If you really need this bowl of porridge and this meat bun, please arrive on time.
Upon hearing this, the men immediately felt guilty, but they still stubbornly argued their way out of it.
At this moment, an elderly man stepped forward from the crowd, confirming that what Su Yinyin said was true.
Seeing this, the local people also stood up and spoke up!
"You're blaming the princess for being late."
“Look at them, they’re dressed so warmly, they don’t look like people who are starving and freezing.”
"We must all keep an eye on each other and not let these people take advantage of the situation!"
The crowd condemned the troublemaker, who slunk away.
Meanwhile, upon hearing this, Su Yinhan stomped her feet in anger, saying, "That Su Yinyin, you're like a persistent ghost, always trying to show off."
Her maidservant quickly advised, "Miss, don't be angry. We can do some good deeds. Maybe the Emperor will value you even more then." Su Yinhan's eyes lit up, and she immediately instructed her servants to send a message to her mother.
