As they were talking, their team had already arrived on the street and the people immediately saw them.

The people didn't know that Tian Rumo had returned to Beijing, so they didn't know who was in the escort team's carriage.

However, they all knew King Chu Xiao Jun, the famous mute prince.

It was also reported last night that the mute prince Xiao Jun is no longer mute, having been cured by a female doctor.

Although Xiao Jun was a mute, he had a great reputation among the people because the Chu Palace often carried out activities to help the poor.

When some people were wronged and had nowhere to turn to, they would go to the Prince of Chu's palace and beg for help, and they would often receive help from Xiao Jun.

Especially some time ago, when the refugees were infected with the plague, Xiao Jun did not hesitate at all. In order to stop the imperial army from shooting the refugees, he resolutely walked into the refugee camp and used his own life to stop the imperial guards led by the prince from shooting the refugees.

It was indeed Tian Rumo who cured the plague of the refugees, but if it were not for Xiao Jun, it would have been impossible to get Tian Rumo to arrive at the refugee camp.

Therefore, those refugees were rescued by Xiao Jun and Tian Rumo together, neither of them was indispensable.

The people have a huge favorable impression and support for Xiao Jun!

Seeing Xiao Jun appear, they all knelt down, kowtowed to him, and shouted: "Long live His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Xiao Jun raised his hand to let the people stand up, and the guards signaled the people in front to make way.

The escort team passed through smoothly and headed for the palace without any obstruction.

The closer they got to the palace, the larger the crowds became. Tian Ruomo even heard people shouting slogans in the crowd.

They all said things like supporting the princess and the female doctor to lead the Shanhai Province.

The closer we got to the palace, the louder the slogans became, like waves sweeping over us.

Tian Ruomo did not open the car curtain again. Instead, through the gap in the curtain, she saw the crowds of people outside, who were excited and cheering.

The square at the main entrance of the palace was crowded with people, as if all the citizens of the capital had gathered in the square.

Tian Ruomo asked through the curtains, "Xiao Jun, what's going on?"

Xiao Jun raised his hand to signal the people who saluted him, asking them to stand up, and answered, "The people in the city heard that the morning court will discuss the affairs of Shanhai Province, so they gathered here early in the morning to express their support for you to the court."

Tian Ruomo was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that such a large-scale gathering of people could not be completely spontaneous, and someone must have done something behind it.

She caught a glimpse of the smile on Xiao Jun's lips through the gap in the curtains, and she understood immediately.

This is definitely Xiao Jun's work.

It seems that although Xiao Jun is the least prominent person in the Jin Dynasty and no one regards him as an opponent, his strength should not be underestimated.

Over the years, he has been in control of the power of the two royal palaces of Qi and Chu.

After all, he is the real God of War of Dajin.

Inside the palace, Emperor Jin Ming got up early, ate something casually, and sat in the imperial study waiting for the time to go to court. He was recalling the little game he played with Concubine Shi yesterday.

A young eunuch hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, the people of the whole city have gathered outside the main gate of the palace. Someone has submitted a petition. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jin Ming frowned slightly, "What petition?"

Eunuch Zhu took two quick steps, came to the young eunuch, and picked up the petition written on coarse cloth.

He was about to hand it to Emperor Ming of Jin, but Emperor Ming of Jin was impatient to look at it.

"See, just tell me!"

One look at the coarse cloth revealed that it had passed through the hands of countless people and it was dirty. He didn't want to touch it.

Eunuch Zhu indeed opened it, read it carefully, and then reported, "Your Majesty, this petition was written by a scholar named Qin Chun who was recommended by the people of Beijing. He asked the court to listen more to the people's voices and promote more officials who truly serve the people."

"They strongly demanded that the court should appoint talents regardless of their background and agree to appoint the Princess of Qi as the Great General of Protecting the Nation and to take charge of the military and political power of the Shanhai Province!"

"This petition was written by Qin Chun by biting his finger. There are more than 10,000 people who put their fingerprints on it!"

Eunuch Zhu only talked about the main points. In fact, the petition was written with fierce words, denouncing that most of the officials in the current court were corrupt officials and that the court had poor control over local officials. There was also a hidden sense of great dissatisfaction and resentment towards Emperor Ming of Jin.

At the end of the petition, there was even a certain threat, claiming that Tian Ruomo was a fairy sent by heaven and the hope of the Great Jin Kingdom.

If you don't make use of Tian Rumo, you will be going against the will of Heaven and will be punished by Heaven!

Since ancient times, the only one who could represent the will of heaven was the emperor.

No matter how capable Tian Ruomo is, she must never have anything to do with God's will.

If this original text had been read to Emperor Ming of Jin, he would have been so furious that he would have sent people to capture the scholar Qin Chun and have him torn into pieces by five horses.

Doing so would inevitably anger the people who were now gathered outside the main gate of the palace.

Things got out of hand!

Just hearing this, Emperor Ming of Jin's face turned very ugly.

Suddenly, outside the palace, the shouts of thousands of people could be heard faintly.

"Support Princess Qi, support the female doctor!"

The sound could be heard as far as the imperial study, so one can imagine how large the number of people gathered outside the palace was!

Emperor Jin Ming asked the young eunuch in a deep voice, "How many people are there outside?"

"How did the commander of the guards deal with it?"

The young eunuch lowered his head and reported, "The rough estimate of the Imperial Guards is at least over 100,000 people."

"At present, all the palace guards are gathered inside the main gate of the palace to prevent any accidents."

"At the same time, the commander of the imperial guards also sent people to the imperial guard camp to have them prepare to support the imperial palace at any time."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. They are all unarmed civilians. Nothing will happen to the palace."

Emperor Ming of Jin took a deep breath, then slapped the table hard.

"How can this be absurd? They actually incited the people to besiege the palace!"

"Do they want to help Tian Ruomo, or do they want to usurp the throne?"

Eunuch Zhu standing by was shocked, realizing that Emperor Ming of Jin had put the blame on Concubine Li and Xiao Yan, believing that they had incited the people and were suspected of rebellion.

At this time, he did not dare to speak for Concubine Li, for fear that Emperor Ming of Jin would become suspicious of him.

He could only serve tea to Emperor Jin Ming, slowly persuade and comfort him, and say a few good words for Concubine Li in a roundabout way.

At this time, shouts could be vaguely heard from outside the Liyun Palace.

Concubine Li and Xiao Yan sat opposite each other.

Xiao Yan's face looked extremely ugly.

"Mother, please take a look at what Xiao Jun has done."

"He actually sent people to incite the people to help Ruomo!"

"Father will definitely put the blame on Mother and me!"

"Mother, is what Xiao Jun did a human thing?"

"He is destroying my son!"
