They thought that they would definitely die after entering the palace, so they were prepared to die to complete the prince's mission.
They never thought that the prince would save their lives.
This kind of prince was worth following.

Following this, Hongyuan Emperor sent Chu Xuanchen to clarify the rumors.
He had Chu Xuanchen find Magistrate Zhang and have Magistrate Zhang take the refugees to the streets to put up notices and apologize to the people.
When the people first heard that the refugees had been caught by the government, they were very angry.
They thought that the government had caught a few people to suppress them, so they became even angrier.
Magistrate Zhang hurriedly put up a clarification notice and said that the Emperor would release these refugees and not pursue their responsibility.
Only then did everyone calm down.
Following this, Magistrate Zhang told everyone that the emperor was already preparing food. Once the food was ready, he would immediately send people to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief.
He even pulled out several carriages of steamed buns to distribute.
When the hungry refugees ate the steamed buns and received the emperor's promise to provide disaster relief, their anger calmed down.
Right now, no one cared whether The Princess of Li was really poisoned or not because the emperor gave them hope.
As long as there was a trace of hope, they wouldn't cause trouble.
They were pitiful homeless people and they only wanted a mouthful of food to eat.
It was difficult for them to even survive, so how could they have time to seek justice for others?
Now that they had a mouthful of food and hope, they would temporarily calm down.

Soon, Hongyuan Emperor received news that the people's anger had been quelled.
As soon as he received the news, he quickly rushed to Ronghua Palace and said to the empress, "Quickly stop poisoning Yun Ruoyue. We don't want this to happen again!"
This time's matter had left him in a terrible fix.
Fortunately, Chu Xuanchen came up with an idea to quell the people's anger. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos.
The empress coldly said, "Emperor, those rumors were not spread by this concubine. This concubine also did not send people to assassinate Aunt Bing. It's true."
"Do you think we will still believe you? We only told you to get rid of Yun Ruoyue's child, we didn't tell you to kill her. But you didn't listen to me and passed on a fake imperial decree behind my back. You were afraid that Aunt Bing would leak this matter, so you wanted to kill her to silence her! "Hongyuan Emperor said gloomily.
"That's not it ah, Your Majesty, please believe this concubine. This concubine did indeed order Chang Mama to have Aunt Bing give Yun Ruoyue arsenic, but what happened afterwards was not done by this concubine …"
"Enough, you don't need to explain anymore. We don't want to hear it. This time, you spread rumors for your own benefit, trying to sow discord between The Emperor of Li and me. Is it to pave the way for The Emperor of Jin? "Hongyuan Emperor said angrily.
"This concubine did not spread any rumors. This concubine dares to swear that this concubine really did not do it. It must be Chu Xuanchen. Only he would be so good at scheming. He must have done it in order to take revenge on chenqie. "The Empress anxiously knelt down and quickly begged the Emperor for mercy.
She couldn't fall out of favor. Once she fell out of favor, she might not even be able to keep her position as the Empress.
Hongyuan Emperor sneered, "We don't believe that Chu Xuanchen has the ability to do so. If he was the one who did it, then what about Chang Momo and those refugees? If he did it, why would he help us quell the rumors? He should be eager for us to be overthrown by the people. Empress, for your own selfish desires, you have damaged our reputation. This is simply a heinous crime! For the sake of the Su Family, we will not pursue your responsibility this time. But if you dare to do it again, we will definitely cripple you! "
"Your Majesty, why would you rather believe Chu Xuanchen, that outsider, than chenqie? This concubine really did not lie … "The Empress stared at Hongyuan Emperor in disbelief.
