Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 487



~ IT’S ALL BALANCED BY DEATH ~

Mu Yunyao stood up, turned around, and walked out. She had to hurry up to explain the situation to her mother.

In the room, Grand Princess Yi De lifted up her handkerchief and wiped her tears, her heart full of reluctance.

On one side, Qu Mama hurriedly stepped forward to support the Grand Princess. “Your Royal Highness Grand Princess, if you are really reluctant, you might as well think of a way to keep Miss here?”

“You should also be clear about Yao’er’s character. I can keep her as a person, but I can’t keep her heart. Also, when a child grows up, she should go around and make a breakthrough. Yunyao has a long way to go in the future... Going through ups and downs earlier is beneficial and harmless, so it’s good for her. Don’t worry about me. Go and get someone to prepare, choose some more good hands to follow her. Being out in the world is no match for being in the Capital, and there are many people who can’t reach their goal, so prepare as much as you can. ”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao thought that after telling her mother about the matter, she would definitely cause her to speak out against it, but she didn’t expect her agreement to be even better than that of Grand Princess Yi De.

“Mother, do you really agree to let me go out to look for Your Royal Highness Yue Wang?”

Xu Yanhan couldn’t help but smile, “Why? Do you think Mother should cry bitterly and then do her best to stop you from going out?”

“No, it’s just that I didn’t expect Mother to be so happy to agree ...”

“I can see that in the face of your relationship between you and Yue Wang. Mother would be happy for you. Furthermore, Mother believes with your intelligence and wisdom, so you can protect yourself wherever you go. Therefore, Mother is waiting for you and Yue Wang to return safely from Qinfang Garden. ”

Mu Yunyao stood up and threw herself into Xu Yanhan’s arms. “Mother, thank you.”

“Bring some more silver taels along the way, just in case there’s any problems. Also, bring some of those pills and powders that you made. If you run into someone who doesn’t have eyesight, you’d rather kill a few by mistake than let someone hurt you.”

“Well, don’t worry, Mother. I will go back to the yard to prepare now. ”

“Alright.”

An hour later, a horse carriage quickly left Qin Fang Garden and headed towards the city gate.

A light rain began to fall again. Grand Princess Yi De raised her head, her eyes reflecting the gloomy sky and the heavy rain. It seemed as if it was so deep that one couldn’t see the depth. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her, and then she turned around.

Xu Yanhan entered the house and bowed, “Greetings, Mother. I really feel uncomfortable in my courtyard. I was always worried about Yao’er, so I came over to talk to you.”

“Sit down quickly. It just so happens that I want to find you too.” Grand Princess Yi De waited for Qu Mama to serve the tea before ordering everyone to withdraw, “Yanhan, you have been doing quite well in settling the affairs of the Su family. Furthermore, with the death of Zhang Wan, the death bell of the Su family has already rung, so you don’t need to waste your energy on them anymore. What we need to do right now is to control the Capital and buy some time for Yao’er and Junyue. ”

Xu Yanhan raised his head, “Mother, Daughter doesn’t quite understand.”

Although there is a spring flood near the river every year, in the case of insufficient rainwater, there are dams on both sides to block it, and there will never be flooding in several cities. Dare cause such a ruckus and even scheme against Yue Wang definitely had to be the work of those princes. Yunyao and Junyue were both outsides. If we let them do whatever they wanted, it is impossible to say how much trouble it would cause. In order for them to return as quickly as possible, all we can do is to let these princes of the Capital settle down.”

“Prince… Mother, the Imperial Court is at stake… Can we also intervene? I don’t know much, so I’m afraid I might fail.”

“No one was born with such knowledge. You’ll find out if you follow me around and observing me. Isn’t the Su family’s Su Jin was locked up in Shuntian Manor’s prison now. I will let someone think of a way to pry open her mouth. As long as she speaks, Jin Wang will not have the time to do anything. As for Ling Wang ... The Emperor has been worried about the balance in the Imperial Court recently, isn’t it? Without the Su family’s checks and balances, the Li family was the only power and difficult to meet opponents, so he would think of a way to suppress the Li family. In this way, wouldn’t the Imperial Court regain its balance? The Li Family is in for a ride of misfortune, Ling Wang will definitely protect his foundation, and Jiangnan will be able to remain calm for a while.”

“Mother, it would naturally be the best if it was really as you said.”

“Don’t worry.”

The Emperor had summoned the princes and the officials into the Palace for discussion. No one was in the mood to pay attention to others and anything else. Coupled with Grand Princess Yi De’s deliberate concealment, no one knew that Mu Yunyao had already left the Capital for the time being.

Si Qin and the other three followed beside Mu Yunyao. Eunuch Cheng sent people to stop Mu Yunyao at the city gate and gave her the token that would invoke the power of Yue Wang.

After leaving the Capital, Mu Yunyao took people with her to abandon the carriage and board the boat. Fortunately, the Xingshun Shipping Boat had specially sent someone responsible for the cargo traffic for Ni Yun Fang between Jiangnan and the Capital. Therefore, they didn’t waste any time and went directly to Jiangnan by boat.

In the Palace, the officials’ discussions were in chaos. The Emperor listened to their bickering as they argued over the reason for the dam busted. In fact, even Ling Wang and Jin Wang’s men were still attacking each other, and they directly dropped the teacup in their hands in anger.

“What about the Minister of Revenue? This matter involves the Ministry of Revenue, so tell me, what should we deal with it?”

The Minister of Revenue, Qi Feng, the eldest son of Marquis Wei, Qi Ru, was also the Eldest Uncle Second Prince, Yu Wang. He dealt with matters impartially, listened to Marquis Wei’s teachings, and strictly guarded the Ministry of Revenue. Ling Wang and Jin Wang repeatedly tried to rope him in, but they failed. Therefore, he offended many people and was suspected as a lonely minister. But the Emperor trusted him very much.

Qi Feng, Minister of Revenue, stepped forward. “Reporting to the Emperor, it is no longer essential to investigate why the Linjiang River dams broke. It is more important to count the affected people, towns, villages, and farmlands. We must transport food, clothing, and tents as soon as possible to relieve the disaster. The most important thing is to arrange for the victims appropriately. Currently, the details of the situation are still unclear. But according to the urgent report of the Imperial Guards, the ones affected are Linjiang City, Huai’an City and Yi Yishui City. The population of these three cities are very dense. If the situation is serious and the Imperial Court can’t make it in time, it will most likely cause the people’s grievance to boil, and it might even cause a change of the people. This subject beg the Emperor to issue an order to open warehouses as soon as possible to release food and provide relief to the calamity victims.”

Heard this, the Emperor’s face turned slightly better. “How much grain does the Ministry of Revenue have left?”

“The previous year was a good harvest, and the collected grain taxes were sufficient. It was just that it was too time-consuming to transport them over from the capital. It would be better to mobilize them from tfrom the surrounding cities nearby and then find a way to allocate silver to make up for the levied granaries. This way, it could save a lot of time and consumption during transportation.”

“Un, where is Yu Wang?”

The Second Prince, Yu Wang, quickly stood forward, “This Son is here.”

“If I send you to provide assistance, are you qualified?”

The Second Prince’s eyes lit up. After finding out about the incident with Yue Wan, he was intensely anxious. Now that he could personally go to Jiangnan to relieve the disaster, he quickly agreed: “This Son will definitely not let father down.”

“Imperial Father,” Ling Wang stepped forward, “Second Imperial Brother has no experience in disaster relief. Moreover, he has a reckless personality. The people are emotionally nervous under the disaster. If something happens and the consequences are unimaginable. I’d better go ahead.”

Jin Wang refused to be outdone, “Imperial Father, it’s better for This Son to go....”

“Shut up!” The Emperor’s eyes were sharp, his eyes glanced at his eldest son and third son, and a deep look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. “At this time, you guys don’t worry about your brothers’ lives and worry about the people affected by the disaster. You even encourage your subordinates to fight and stir up the entire Imperial Court. Do you really think that I can’t control you guys anymore now that I’m old?”
