The imperial court was filled with undercurrents and infighting. The Emperor had focused his energy on dealing with the Wan family and his son, so exterminating the rebel victims was not as important.
A group of disaster victims just wanted to eat and wear warm clothes. The Emperor had learned his lesson and sent the An family to provide disaster relief. The disaster victims did not have high demands. As long as they did not starve to death, they would not rebel.
To win the people's hearts, the Emperor revoked the decree to exterminate the disaster victims. The journey was relatively safer. Ji Shuisheng and the others had the escort flag and the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency documents. Even if they had weapons, they could leave very smoothly.
