Chapter 185 The Princess's Favorite 46
The current situation is chaotic, war is everywhere, and people are suffering.
Without mobilizing a single soldier, Jin Jiusi captured countless cities from various countries as easily as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
However, the more powerful major countries are still struggling at this moment, like a lone boat in the wind and waves, on the verge of collapse.
Looking down from a high place, smoke of war filled the fields and the people were displaced.
The king of a great country watched helplessly as the lives of his people became increasingly difficult. The court was in chaos, with various forces fighting openly and secretly. The country fell into an unprecedented predicament.
The former prosperity has become a thing of the past, and now only devastation and misery remain.
Faced with such a tragic situation, the king began to waver.
They knew that continuing to persist would only bring more disasters to the people, but they were unwilling to give up the power and throne that was within their reach so easily.
At the same time, a large number of people fled their original homes and flocked to the cities of Donghua with their families.
These displaced people long to find a place to settle down and live a peaceful and stable life.
Feng Qiansu issued an edict, ordering all vassal states and city gates to provide assistance and accept the refugees who came to seek refuge.
As long as people from all countries come to seek help, regardless of their wealth, status or social class, they can enter the city to receive treatment and help.
For ordinary people, who is the ruler of the world is not the most important thing.
All they wanted was a ruler who could allow them to live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing.
As long as the new monarch can provide them with a stable living environment and protect their basic rights, they will naturally support and love him sincerely.
In this storm of power transition, the direction of public opinion has begun to emerge.

The newly built princess's mansion is in no way inferior to the imperial palace in terms of architectural specifications.
Today is the official opening day of this mansion. However, the owner of the princess's mansion, Jin Jiusi, is still as leisurely and carefree as before.
At this time, Hong Que hurried to the lotus pond and said helplessly to Jin Jiusi, who was concentrating on feeding the fish, "Your Highness, you are the host! It's really not a good look to have so many guests who came to congratulate you being left aside.
Suddenly, he excitedly pointed at one of the red carps that was struggling to grab food, and asked with surprise, "Redbird, look quickly, doesn't that red carp seem to be much smarter than the other fish?"
Dealing with such a careless person, Redbird felt powerless.
Alas, if it weren't for the Prime Minister who worked tirelessly to help entertain and negotiate in the outer courtyard, His Highness would probably have offended all the noble families and dignitaries who came to congratulate him.
Seeing that the redbird didn't answer, Jin Jiusi scattered some more fish food and chuckled softly, "Look at how clever it is. It's really interesting."
Hong Que took a deep breath, resisting the urge to hold her forehead with her hands, and advised, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister can't always be your shield. It would be nice if you could just show up and deal with a few words."
Jin Jiusi stood up slowly and adjusted the hem of her skirt. "Never mind, I'll just go for a walk."
When Jin Jiusi appeared in the front hall, everyone looked at him.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness..."
But she acted as if she didn't see it and walked straight towards Yun Chenyu.
Yun Chenyu bowed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and pampering in his eyes.
Jin Jiusi said softly, "Thank you for your help, Prime Minister."
Then he turned to face the crowd, his eyes cold, "I am very grateful for your congratulations. However, I do not like red tape, so please forgive me for any shortcomings in my hospitality."
After saying this, he left without waiting for anyone's response.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they felt that the princess's behavior was strange, they could only accept it silently when they thought of the current emperor's favor for her and her development of an antidote to the plague.
Yun Chenyu looked at her leaving back, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
And this smile was seen by Jun Muxue who was hiding in the corner.
Jun Muxue came to congratulate today on behalf of the Duke's Mansion.
Today was also the first time she saw the face of Princess Laihuang.
She never thought that there was a woman in this world who was even more beautiful than the Queen.
And this woman happens to be the only biological sister of the current emperor, Princess Laihuang.
Jun Muxue bit her lower lip lightly, feeling a sour feeling in her heart.
She had been admired by Yun Chenyu since she was a child. Now, seeing him smile like that to another woman, jealousy grew like weeds in her heart.
Jun Muxue's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
She pretended to casually approach the ministers who were chatting, and said in a soft but deliberately loud voice, "I heard that although Princess Laihuang developed an antidote to the plague, she got the formula from a folk doctor, but she didn't make it public."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet, and everyone looked surprised.
Soon, this matter reached Jin Jiusi's ears.
Jin Jiusi sneered, "A folk doctor? He's quite talkative."
Kong Kong: Jun Muxue is so stupid...
Jin Jiusi called Hong Que over and gave her a few instructions, "Go."
Soon after, slaps and screams were heard in the front yard.
Hong Que looked at Jun Muxue, who was slumped on the ground with an erratic look in her eyes, with a cold gaze and said, "This is the princess's residence. How can we allow a mere daughter of a duke's mansion like you to act wildly?"
Jun Muxue covered her red and swollen face, her eyes filled with shame, anger and grievance as she asked, "Is Your Highness the Princess so intolerant?"
Her voice was loud, attracting more people to watch.
Redbird sneered, "As they say, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. How could a villain like you dare to touch my Highness?"
Jun Muxue wanted to refute, but she caught a glimpse of Jin Jiusi slowly walking towards her.
Jin Jiusi looked down at Jun Muxue, "You...are the one who's always looking at the pot while having your cake and eating it too?"
"What?" Jun Muxue didn't understand what she meant.
"Since you said that the antidote to the epidemic I developed was formulated from a folk doctor, does Miss Jun have any witnesses?" Jin Jiusi asked.
She squatted down gently, her eyes piercing Jun Muxue like knives, "If there is no witness, it would be a false accusation. Falsely accusing a royal princess is enough to get the entire family executed, right?"
Jun Muxue's face turned pale. She had only heard about it and didn't know whether the recipe was given by a folk doctor.
At this time, Yun Chenyu stood up, "Your Highness..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jin Jiusi.
Jin Jiusi raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Why? Is Yun Xiang going to plead for her?"
Seeing the small smile in her eyes, Yun Chen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained, "Your Highness, gossip can melt gold."
Jin Jiusi glanced at him and said calmly, "You're just being clever."
After saying that, he left gracefully, leaving Jun Muxue with a face full of regret.
But clearly, that was the message that person gave.
