On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Before entering the yard, I heard laughter inside.

It seems that Madam Sima’s coming is a good thing.

Yan Ruyu walked into the room briskly, and the old lady quickly stood up to greet her.

"Please sit down," Yan Ruyu supported her, "It is not right for an elder to greet a younger person."

The eldest lady also smiled and said, "Yu'er is right. The old lady is an elder because of her age. If it was because of her status before, it is no longer the case now."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised and looked at the eldest lady. The eldest lady nodded, her tone full of relief, but also sadness.

"The Sima family has finally been vindicated."

Not only were the Sima family's injustices redressed, but their original titles were also restored, and Old Madam Sima is now a person of imperial decree.

Yan Ruyu was sincerely happy for Madam Sima: "Congratulations, Madam."

Madam Sima's eyes were slightly moist, and she pulled Madam and Yan Ruyu together: "Thank you, thank you, it's all thanks to you."

"If the princess hadn't saved my son, I'm afraid he wouldn't have lived to see this day. Once he died, our family would have been even more miserable. During this period, it was thanks to the help of the first lady and the princess that we..."

Before, Madam Sima did not say thank you for the kindness, but kept it in her heart silently, because she was powerless to say anything, how could she repay it? She could only remember it over and over again, reminding herself and the children not to forget it.

Now that his name has been cleared, all the charges and pressure on him have been removed. The Sima family will be able to help the Zhennan Palace if they are revived.

Yan Ruyu understood what the old lady meant and smiled, "Old lady, don't worry too much. It will remain the same as before. The relationship between the palace and the Sima family will remain the same."

The old lady wiped her eyes and said, "Yes, yes, what the princess said is very true."

The eldest lady helped her sit down again.

"Madam, has the imperial edict been issued?" Yan Ruyu was confused. She hadn't seen any official delivering imperial edicts coming to Youcheng in the past few days.

It doesn't make sense that she would only know about such a big thing after meeting Madam Sima.

The old lady sighed, "The imperial edict has been issued, but it has not yet reached Youcheng. It is an urgent letter written by someone in the court."

As she spoke, she took out the letter and said, "Something big has happened in the court. I know the prince and princess will definitely pay attention to it, so I brought it here specially."

Yan Ruyu took the letter and opened it. The old lady said, "This person is trustworthy. He is a student of my husband. After the Sima family was in trouble, he also resigned from his post, but he has always been near the capital and has not left."

"He was also waiting for an opportunity to help the Sima family clear their name. Yi'er received a lot of secret help from him back then."

The Yi'er she was talking about was Ma Liyu.

Yan Ruyu listened to her and said with emotion: "She is loyal and righteous, and she does not abandon others because of the disaster. She is a model of human beings."

"That's true," the old lady smiled, "We have met many bad people over the years, but we have also met many good people."

The eldest lady patted her hands and remained silent.

Yan Ruyu looked at the letter and asked in surprise, "Did the Eastern Palace fall?"

The old lady said in a deep voice, "That's right. They, mother and son, admitted in public that they framed the late queen and the second prince. This happened in the hunting grounds. All the officials were there, and everyone is a witness."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her emotions and read the letter quickly. The letter said that the prince and the imperial concubine were both dead, and the injustice of the late queen was revealed to the world. Not long after the emperor returned to the palace, he issued an edict to rehabilitate the Sima family.

When the decree was given, the messenger left the city. The people who were supposed to write letters wrote them and asked someone to go through a friend's business route, riding as fast as possible, changing horses and people all the way, and delivering the letters to Youcheng as quickly as possible.

Yan Ruyu read it again, feeling deeply moved, but also having a doubt.

Just as I returned the letter to the old lady, I heard a commotion in the yard outside. The maid came in to report, but before she could finish her words, An Cizhou rushed in.

"Madam, Madam! Where are the prince and princess? I received news that the Sima family..."

He was panting, and swallowed the rest of his words back after seeing the old lady and Yan Ruyu.

He quickly straightened his clothes and saluted the old lady.

He was still young and actually had little impression of the Sima family. He did not recognize the old lady. It was not until he arrived in Youcheng and strolled around with Jiang Yanmu and became familiar with Youcheng that he learned where the Sima family lived. He was fortunate to have met the old lady and Uncle Sima near the gate.

The old lady watched him, sometimes noisy and shouting, sometimes bowing respectfully. He was handsome and fair-skinned, and spoke like a scholar, but he didn't look erratic at all, which was really interesting.

"Junior An Cizhou greets the old lady."

The old lady was slightly surprised when she heard his name: "Are you from the An family?"

"That's right," An Cizhou was too embarrassed to mention his father.

Mr. Sima was once the Prime Minister, but was unjustly exiled. Later, the An family was gradually valued and achieved the status they have today.

The old lady seemed very happy to see him and waved for him to come forward.

"I've heard that the An family is very powerful. Let me see them," the old lady looked at him, "Why did you come to Youcheng?"

"How old are you this year? Are you married?"

An Cizhou: “…” Heartbroken!

He stabs me with a knife as soon as we meet.

"Madam, I came to Youcheng to seek refuge. I am twenty-six years old and have not yet married."

"Hurry up, twenty-six is ​​not young anymore."

"...I have a girl I like." An Cizhou said quickly, "I will hurry up."

Seeing that the old lady wanted to say more, An Cizhou was afraid that she would say something to induce labor again, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Madam, I just received news that the Sima family has been rehabilitated, the old Prime Minister has been posthumously honored and will be allowed to be buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the master will also be reinstated."

He said, handing over the letter.

His letter also came from the capital, written by Prime Minister An, and it followed the Jiang family's letter route.

Prime Minister An also waited until the news was confirmed before writing the letter, which contained more detailed information. He also knew that his son would show the letter to Huo Changhe after receiving it.

So, no matter how big or small, everything is written down.

The Prime Minister wrote it himself and the Jiang family delivered it, so even though it came out two days late, it still arrived almost at the same time.

Even the old lady didn't know some of the details. She read the letter carefully and her eyes became wet unconsciously.

"This child... Xiaoliu, this child..."

The old lady's fingers trembled and she was choked with sobs.

Yan Ruyu took the letter and read it, and the doubts in her mind just now were answered.

The previous letter only mentioned the affairs of the Sima family, the court's attitude towards the Sima family, and the fate of the prince and the imperial concubine, but the specific process was not mentioned.

This is not surprising. The person who wrote the letter is no longer in the court and is not qualified to go to the enclosure, so some details are not clear.

This matter is not glorious. Even if it was spread, it would only be spread privately among officials. It is a serious matter, so this person probably did not dare to speculate casually, so he only wrote what he knew.

But this letter from Prime Minister An is different.

Prime Minister An was right at the scene, and he knew exactly who said what and what they did.

Reading his letter is like watching a live broadcast.
