At the same time as the publication of Yijing Weekly, Emperor Mingde officially issued a decree that any individual or group that manufactured and sold Fushou Cream would be punished with the highest penalty, which was lingchi, if found guilty.

All officials are prohibited from touching the elixir of life. Those with minor offenses will be dismissed from their posts and imprisoned; those with serious offenses will be exiled along with their entire family.

The laws of the Northern Wing clearly stipulate that anyone who smokes Fu Shou Gao will be imprisoned and punished accordingly; it is also strictly forbidden for candidates who have smoked Fu Shou Gao to participate in the civil and military examinations, thus ending their official careers and making it hopeless for them to become officials.

In this way, Beiyi officially listed Fu Shou Gao as a banned item.

At the same time, the imperial court also set up a channel for officials to report themselves in the Northern Propaganda Department. Any official who reported himself within one month would not be held accountable and would only need to cooperate with the imperial court for unified treatment.

Within two days of the announcement of this special policy, many officials volunteered to join the campaign. This volunteering effortlessly disintegrated the Empress Dowager's previously unbreakable camp.

Emperor Mingde looked at the list and couldn't help but feel terrified. "Fortunately, we discovered it early. If it had spread, what would have happened?"

Fortunately, most of the people on the list are old officials from the Empress Dowager's camp.

Emperor Mingde waved his pen and ordered the old ministers to stay at home for treatment, and their family members were not allowed to go out without reason.

The most important thing is to stabilize the complicated court first. We must seek stability at this time.

However, on the day when Yijing Weekly was released, the East Feather Guard and the West Shadow Guard jointly enforced the law, broke into Li's mansion and seized a large amount of longevity cream.

Shi Anxia took advantage of this opportunity and, under Yin Feng's arrangement, sneaked into Shi Anrou's residence without anyone noticing.

When she appeared dressed as a servant, Shi Anrou was eating sour plums.

Yin Feng bowed to Shi Anxia and said goodbye, "Master, I will be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call me."

Shi Anxia nodded.

Only then did Shi Anrou realize that the girl named Yinfeng among the serving maids was actually Shi Anxia's woman.

She had never had direct contact with the people who protected her in the mansion. That day, she suddenly had an idea, so she wrote a note and quietly put it in a tree hole, saying that she wanted to see Shi Anxia.

As a result, she received a reply the next day, telling her not to act rashly.

Hey! It turned out to be Yinfeng. Usually, this girl and another girl named Manliu were the ones who teased her the most. They often said bad things about her behind her back, but it turned out that this girl was the one who protected her.

Sure enough, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth. Shi Anrou learned this.

"Why? Don't you have some important news to tell me in person?" Shi Anxia's gaze fell on Shi Anrou's lower abdomen.

Then he looked her up and down and nodded, "Yes, you've gained weight."

Shi Anrou's eyes were red. "You finally arrived... The Emperor... Ying... Sister Anxia, ​​I missed you so much. If you don't allow me to meet you, I won't be able to live anymore."

As she spoke, she was about to step forward, but was blocked by Shi Anxia's outstretched hand.

Shi Anxia glanced at the table full of empty plates and bowls that had not yet been cleared, and smiled faintly, "Well, it seems that you want to die of gluttony."

Shi Anrou blushed, secretly regretting in her heart. If she had known that Shi Anxia would come to meet her today, she would have skipped a meal in the morning.

But now, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm hungry."

Shi Anxia didn't have time to reminisce with her. "If you have something to say, then tell me. Are you pregnant?"

Shi Anrou's eyes widened and her face turned even redder. "What are you talking about? With you protecting me, how can I be so unlucky?"

Shi Anxia: "..."

I feel that if Shi Anrou could behave herself and not cause trouble or hurt others without Aunt Wen's bad advice, her life would not be too bad in the future.

After all, he had been reborn and had played a good hand badly. If he didn't repent, this stupid guy would really waste a good opportunity.

But this stupid and stupid guy hadn't said anything yet, but he started questioning her first, "Since Yinfeng is in the Li Mansion, why do I need to stay in the Li Mansion to get information? Otherwise, take me back?"

She was worried all day long. It was difficult for her to even eavesdrop on someone, let alone find out any news.

"Go home? Where is your home? Do you think you have the right to go home?" Shi Anxia asked three times in a row, sitting down on the chair leisurely, and gently patted the slight wrinkles on her shirt, "This princess just wants to see if you are honest. If you want to make up some false news to mislead me again, you will see how I will tear you apart."

Shi Anrou immediately wiped away her tears, "That can't be possible! Now I think clearly, I will follow you all the way to the end."

"Oh?" Shi Anxia said calmly, "I don't believe it."

Shi Anrou: "..."

Shi Anxia looked at the lavishly decorated room, and then at the dress Shi Anrou was wearing. It was obvious that the Li family did not treat Shi Anrou harshly.

Her tone remained calm, "You know, in three years Emperor Mingde will... well, that's it. If you give birth to a child for Prince Jin, then you will be honored by your child. Do you still want to follow me all the way to the end?"

Shi Anrou had thought about this possibility, but...

Then An Xia said, "In this life, I am just a woman without real power. Even if I am a princess, how many people take me as a real princess? Do you think I am really the Queen Mother Huizheng? I have married the young master of the Luo family, so I will never have anything to do with the King of Jin. So are you sure you want to follow me all the way to the end?"

Shi Anrou was very panicked. What on earth did Queen Dowager Huizheng mean by telling me this?

Shi Anxia finally set his sights on Shi Anrou, "Do you know why I didn't touch you? It's not because you are my half-sister, and it's not because you didn't kill me in your last life. Just because you helped the Queen Mother put the evidence of treason at home last time, I have reason to kill you a hundred times."

"Why is that?" Shi Anrou asked involuntarily.

"Because..." Shi Anxia said slowly, "God let you be reborn once, there must be a cause and effect. I will let you go this time, as a favor to God. If you commit suicide and harm me again, God can't help you. Do you remember?"

So you are talking to God. Shi Anrou was a little sad and shook her head, "I would rather not be reborn and marry an ordinary man. God gave me hope and made me think that I could live a better life with the help of the prophet..."

"To live a better life does not mean you have an affair without a matchmaker. You have no sense of shame. Do you know how men will view you? Can you expect men to cherish you? Shi Anrou, you are not my daughter, and I have no obligation to teach you how to behave."

This remark touched Shi Anrou's heart. She had come to this point because of Aunt Wen, who gave birth to her.

It was her aunt who told her that she must first climb into the bed of the Prince of Jin and have physical contact with him in order to consolidate her position. After that, if she got pregnant with a son or a daughter, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Prince of Jin's mansion.

Every step she took was taught by Aunt Wen.

"So, what news do you want to tell me? If you don't, I'll leave." Shi Anxia pretended to stand up.

Shi Anrou quickly held her down and said, "Yes, don't worry. But I don't know if Yinfeng has told you."

"You say yours, she says hers." Shi Anxia sat back in the chair, "Don't expect to mislead me."

Shi Anrou: "..."

If you don't believe me, why should I say anything?

But if she didn't say it, it would be even less valuable. She still said, "I suspect that Li Tianlin was killed by Li Changfeng..."
