Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

After watching the team leave and the city gate closed again, Su Yunxuan ordered Ali, who stayed behind, to continue searching for Feng Yuqi, and then hurried back to the palace.

In Yunxuan Palace, Su Changfeng was still unconscious.

At the repeated insistence of Concubine Xu and Su Jibei, Su Yunxuan symbolically took a few sips of porridge and continued to stay by the bed.

In the north of the city, Tian went very carefully.

Thanks to the protection of someone they knew, Feng Yuqi remained unconscious for the entire night and they narrowly avoided the government search.

Just after the Yin hour of the next day, when the sky was just beginning to turn white, Su Yunxuan, who had been lying on the edge of the bed all night, woke up from a nightmare.

Su Yunxuan struggled to stand up with trembling legs, leaned over and gently stroked the cheek of the person on the bed, then turned and went outside.

In the outer room, the palace guard on duty saw her come out and hurriedly called Bai Shu who was resting in the next room.

Bai Shu, with sleepy eyes, hurried over and called out to Su Yunxuan.

Su Yunxuan asked Bai Shu if there was any reply from the border.

Bai Shu shook his head to indicate that it was impossible to be that fast.

After Su Yunxuan asked Bai Shu to look after Su Changfeng, she went to Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu told Su Yunxuan that the cold cave in Qifu Mountain was indeed the forbidden place where Su Changfeng resurrected her in her previous life.

Just as Feng Yuqi said, there should be two ice coffins in the cold cave containing her and Su Changfeng's bodies.

According to what Master Shiguo said that Concubine Xu overheard, as long as Su Yunxuan touches the bodies of the two people in the ice coffin, she will remember the past.

Concubine Xu was also confused as to why Su Yunxuan did not see any ice coffin when she went into the cold cave with Su Changfeng last time to pray for rain.

Thinking that Feng Yuqi might not have lied, Su Yunxuan suddenly wanted to find Feng Yuqi as soon as possible and ask him what he saw in the cold cave.

After returning to Yunxuan Palace and seeing Su Changfeng again, Su Yunxuan decided to go to Qi Fu Mountain and then to the cold cave on the top of the mountain to find out what was going on.

Just before leaving the palace, he bumped into Ruoying.

Ruoying once again reported to Su Yunxuan how she had captured Cui Situ's people.

Su Yunxuan hesitated for a moment and decided to get rid of Cui Situ before climbing the mountain.

After all, she and Su Changfeng were busy with this matter the night before their wedding.

Thinking again of how her brother Changfeng had been worried about her on the first night of their marriage, planning how to punish the culprit who spread the rumor that she was the disaster star of Yunsheng, Su Yunxuan felt a pang of pain in her heart again.

When Ruoying followed Su Yunxuan's order and threw Cui Situ's lackeys into the imperial study, Cui Situ was confronting Su Yunxuan behind the desk, refusing to admit it.

Su Yunxuan was not going to give in either. She pulled out dozens of confessions from the table, which were signed and sealed by everyone present on the night Feng Yuqi caused trouble in the restaurant, and threw them hard in Cui Situ's face.

"As an official for decades, Cui Situ should know that the prohibitions issued at the court meeting must not be violated. I have repeatedly stated that in order to avoid panic among the people, the epidemic should not be made public.

Cui Situ's nephew spread unfavorable remarks in public the night the news of the epidemic was passed back to Yunsheng, and even privately belittled me. Your Cui family really has good family education!"

After hearing her sarcastic words and reading the three confessions in succession, Cui Situ turned pale and knelt on the ground, "I, your humble servant, made a mistake in my words..."

Su Yunxuan interrupted sarcastically, "You just slipped your tongue! Your nephew really deserves to have his vocal cords cut so that he can no longer speak out of turn. Do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, I failed to discipline you..."

"Then why are you still confusing right and wrong and hunting down innocent people all over the city?" Su Yunxuan interrupted again in a harsh voice.

Without waiting for Cui Situ to open his mouth to defend himself again, Su Yunxuan looked at the people thrown in by Ruoying and said, "These people are yours, right? If I don't take action, are you going to kill that Er Gouzi to avenge your nephew?"

"No...no...I am innocent..." Cui Situ kowtowed continuously.

Su Yunxuan slowly stood up, curled her lips and sneered, "You are innocent!"

"Bring it in!" she shouted.

A guard brought in a man. Cui Situ turned his head and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Su Yunxuan stopped two steps away from Cui Situ, stared at him with sharp eyes and said, "If you are wronged for spreading rumors about me many times, then what is your purpose in ordering him to spread the origins of Pei Taifu..."

"Empress, please calm down... Empress, please spare my life..." Cui Situ crawled on his knees towards Su Yunxuan.

Shengxing quickly went over and stood in front of Su Yunxuan who was retreating.

Cui Situ was stopped, and he straightened his back and shouted unwillingly: "I have been an official for 32 years, and I have devoted my life to Yun Sheng. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. If the Empress wants to punish me for such a small matter, I will not accept it, and other court officials will not accept it either..."

"Of course it's more than just a small matter!" Su Yunxuan stopped at the shore, looking calm.

As she spoke, she picked up two books and several memorials from the table again and threw them in front of Grand Tutor Cui, "Master Cui also knows that he has been an official for many years, why doesn't he act more cautiously?

How could I easily find evidence of your repeated corruption?!"

Hearing the words "evidence of corruption", Cui Situ's hand trembled as he flipped through the booklet. He prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed again, shouting in a trembling voice: "I am guilty. I deserve to die. I beg the Empress to show mercy..."

"Drag him away." Su Yunxuan shouted loudly, not wanting to waste too much time with Cui Situ.

Several guards rushed in upon hearing the noise, and in a few seconds they forcibly dragged out Cui Situ, who was crying bitterly.

Ruoying was standing at the door and watching. He felt happy but was suddenly shocked by Su Yunxuan's decisive and ruthless action. He turned around to look in surprise.

Su Yunxuan, dressed in plain clothes, stood calmly in the middle of the imperial study, her eyes as sharp as swords, staring outside the door with her hands behind her back.

The kingly aura emanating from his body made people involuntarily feel awe. There was no trace of the fragility that they had when they first met him!

He was staring blankly when Su Yunxuan strode up to him and said, "Come with me to the cold cave at Qifu Mountain."

"Yes." Without thinking, Ruoying answered instinctively and followed.

It was noon when the carriage arrived at the bottom of Qi Fu Mountain.

Although the sun was not scorching, when she reached the top of the mountain, Ruoying couldn't help but let her legs drop and breathe lightly. She stopped and was about to take a break, but she caught a glimpse of the empress still striding forward, so Ruoying hurried to catch up.

He led the way to the entrance of the largest cave where he had found the ice coffin before and stood still. Ruoying looked back and found that Su Yunxuan's face was extremely pale and her legs seemed to be trembling, but she was still holding on with her fists clenched tightly.

Unable to bear watching any longer, Ruoying turned her eyes away and shouted excitedly, "It's in here. That's where we found the two ice coffins."

The clothes on her back were sticking tightly to her body, and the cold air seemed to come from all directions, penetrating into every bone in her body. Su Yunxuan trembled uncontrollably as she moved forward with difficulty.

Hearing Ruoying's shout, she clenched her fists again and increased her speed.

After passing Ruoying and walking forward for a while, the view suddenly became clear.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and Su Yunxuan discovered incredulously that there were actually two huge ice coffins in the middle of the cave.
