Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 461

~ DON’T GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY ~ 

At the mention of Yi Bao Xuan, the stewards’ expression turned grave, “The owner of Yi Bao Xuan seems to have been hunted down by others, and he happened to be rescued by Ling Wang. In order to repay Ling Wang for his kindness, he obeyed Ling Wang’s assignment. Some time ago, he even gave him a few hundred thousand taels of silver, allowing Ling Wang to walk around smoothly during the New Year Festival to win over officials.”

“Yi Bao Xuan ….” Jin Wang narrowed his eyes slightly. “How can Yi Bao Xuan be comparable to Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo? There is nothing to fear as long as I control these two places. After some time, Imperial Aunt will acknowledge Su Qing and Mu Yunyao and prepare some generous gifts in advance.”

Mu Yunyao followed the Grand Princess Yi De to the princess’ mansion. When Mu Yunyao saw Su Qing’s troubled expression, she held her hand and consoled her, “Mother, are you alright?”

The Grand Princess Yi De waved her hand for some people to serve tea. “Qing’er, Yao’er, please wait for a moment. In a while, the news will arrive to report to you.”

“Grandmother, did you send someone to interrogate Su Li and Wang Shi?”

“Yes.” The Grand Princess Yi De nodded. “They are Qing’er’s adoptive parents. For this reason, I will spare their lives. If the two have no ill intentions, then in the future, they will live a prosperous and thriving life. If there are bad intentions, then I will be the one to be the villain.”

Su Qing remained silent.

The Grand Princess Yi De looked at her, sighing faintly, “Qing’er, I will have someone carefully interrogate your adoptive parents. If they don’t confess, they will definitely suffer. Do you think my actions are too cruel?”

Su Qing bit her lips and nodded slightly. “I feel that this is a bit cruel, but for Yao’er, even if I had to personally interrogate her, I would still be able to do it.”

Mu Yunyao sighed, walked up, and leaned beside Su Qing. “Mother, thank you so much.”

After waiting for nearly an hour, Qu Mama brought the confession letter and quickly walked in. “Grand Princess, I have confessed.”

Mu Yunyao slightly moved the tip of her nose. She could clearly smell the thick scent of blood on Senior Servant Qu’s body.

After the Grand Princess Yi De finished reading, she suddenly slammed the confession in her hand onto the table: “The Su family, what a good Su family!” Although the two of them were only following orders and did not know the Su family’s true purpose, it was not difficult for them to deduce the Su family’s original intentions!

Mu Yunyao picked up the confession. It recorded the relationship between Su Li, Wang Shi, and the Su family. They were long-distance relatives of the old steward of the Su family, and although they looked like ordinary people on the surface, they were actually servants who had signed a death contract with the Su family. They were entrusted by the Su family and adopted Su Qing. Later, they followed the Su family’s arrangement and deliberately married Su Qing to Mucheng, and ... Mucheng is not the biological son of the Li family at all, and was instead something the Su family had arranged ….

After reading the contents, Mu Yunyao felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head. The creepy feeling made her tremble uncontrollably.

She had once evilly speculated on the Su family’s purpose of adopting a mother. But no matter how hard she assumed, she did not expect the Su family to be so vicious. Mother’s adoptive parents had been intentionally arranged. Her father and grandmother also had been designated. Didn’t that mean that she and her mother have been living under the arrangement of the Su family?

If it wasn’t for the fact that she had gone through a lifetime of experience, had taken Su Qing away from the village, carefully erased the traces, and went to Jingling City. Wouldn’t her entire life have been arranged?

The Grand Princess Yi De was so angry that her face turned blue, and her chest began to ache uncontrollably.

Qu Mama hurriedly stepped forward to support her. “Her Royal Highness, don’t be too angry. It’s not worth it for the sake of the Su family.”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses and walked up to the Grand Princess to take her pulse, “Grandmother....”

The Grand Princess Yi De took a few deep breaths with all her might before the dull pain in her chest slowly subsided. Her eyes shone with a terrifying light, “I had originally thought that it would be enough to leave the Su family empty-handed. Now, it seems like even if I exterminated all nine of their clans, it would still be difficult to dispel the hatred in my heart! Yao’er, you don’t have to worry about the Su family. From today onwards, I will take care of them.”

“Well, as long as Grandmother isn’t angry, you can do whatever you want.” Thinking about the miserable death of her mother in her previous life, Mu Yunyao felt a bloody smell gush out from her mouth. Madam Li had arranged everything, then her mother being sold into the Zhang Mansion must have been fixed as well. Even if she escaped from Zhang Mansion with a broken leg and died miserably, I am afraid that it was all from the Su family ... The Su family should repay this debt of blood!

Suddenly, Qu Mama cried out, “Madam!”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly turned around and saw Su Qing lying unconscious on the ground with a deathly pale face. She held the confession in her hand.

“Mother!” Su Qing fell into a coma for nearly two hours before she slowly woke up. When she woke up, her expression was lifeless, and she could not stop her tears from rolling down her face. She had read a lot of words in her spare time, and she stumbled to understand the contents of the paper. The more she looked at it, the more cold-hearted she became. Was her past fake? Was Mu Cheng, too?

Mu Yunyao sat on the bed and held her hand. Her eyes reddened as she said, “Mother....”

“Yao’er, go investigate the cause of death of your father. I don’t believe that his kindness towards me is fake. I don’t believe that he didn’t have any sincerity. I want to know the truth. I want to know what your father has been hiding from me for so many years! Yao’er, investigate carefully. Please help your mother find out!”

“Alright, Mother, don’t be sad. I’ll go investigate. I’ll immediately send people to investigate.”

Su Qing held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand tightly. Her tears fell even more fiercely, “Go, make arrangements now. Mother doesn’t need you to accompany her.”

“Then Mother, if there’s anything that makes you uncomfortable, get someone to tell me right away.” Some pain can only be endured by oneself, and outsiders can not help.

“Yes.”

Withdrawing from the room, Mu Yunyao went to see Grand Princess Yi De.

“Yao’er, how is your mother?” Seeing Su Qing faint, Grand Princess Yi De’s old ailment was also infected. The doctor who treated her had just left. Fortunately, there was a prescription sent by Mu Yunyao to recuperate, and the old disease was cured. This prevented her from causing any significant problems.

“Grandmother, there’s no need to worry. Mother is just feeling too sad at the moment. It’s enough as long as she understands.”

“That’s good.” Grand Princess Yi De sighed as she called over Qu Mama. “Recently, the Zhang family of the Great Scholar’s residence has been through a lot of trouble. Did it all come from Zhang Wan?”

“Yes, Miss Zhang learned from her wet nurse that her biological mother was killed by her stepmother. She secretly bought medicine for her stepmother to use. After a period of time, the Zhang Family will probably end up in vain.”

“Tomorrow, let the imperial historian perform. It’s said that the Great Scholar Miss Zhang has the grace to save the sixth princess, but the Sixth Princess actually stole her husband. It was truly a heartless and unjust action, so I thought of a way for Zhang Wan to marry into the Su family.”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her gaze. “Grandmother, the Sixth Princess has deep feelings for Su Qingwu, I’m afraid....”

“If Huaiyang knew and retreated in the face of difficulties, that would be her fortune. If she insisted on doing it, that would be a fate arrangement. I don’t care about a princess. Yao’er, as I said before, I will take care of the Su family’s matters. You don’t need to worry about it so as not to dirty your hands.”

“... Yes.”

What happened in the princess’s mansion attracted speculation from outsiders. The next day, before everyone could investigate it thoroughly, they heard another piece of news. The Emperor was lucky enough to find the Su family’s legitimate daughter, Su Yuyi, on the Spring Lantern Festival and had bestowed her with the title of a Concubine Yue.

~ JIN WANG’S PALACE LANTERNS FESTIVALS ~ 

“The Su family, we really can’t underestimate them.” The Grand Princess Yi De looked at the Pheonix Marking Jade on the table, “Did you hear Su Li say that the jade pendant that your mother was carrying belonged to Su Xue? In other words, Su Xue is the real child of the Su family, and the child died in order to save Su Qing. You said, should I prepare a generous gift and thank the Su family well?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sneer, “The Su family, they’ve already gotten used to acting. Do you think that everyone in the world will accompany them to play with them?” Knowing that they couldn’t hide it anymore, they thought of a way to label themself as a life-saving benefactor, thinking that this would make people ignore the fact that they had tried to silence them previously. It’s really up to them to figure it out!

“Although the method was shameless, it is better than some usefulness. Su Li and Wang Shi are Qing’er’s adoptive parents, and with this relationship, I won’t be able to easily deal with them, and it will give the Su family an opportunity to take advantage of it. Do you think that with Su Xue’s so-called life-saving grace, they’ll be able to get away with it? I must investigate the truth of that year thoroughly. No matter what method the Su Family uses, you must not think of easily bypassing it!”

“Grandmother, everyone will know about today’s events very soon. When the time comes....” Mu Yunyao tugged on the silk handkerchief in her hands, and a sad expression flashed across her heart. Once Su Qing’s identity was confirmed, it would be difficult for her and Yue Wang to continue to go on.

The Grand Princess Yi De pulled Su Qing, her eyes filled with anticipation: “Qing’er, Yao’er, I originally wanted to find a chance to recognize you two, but without evidence, rumors will inevitably arise. Now, the Su family has sent over the physical evidence and witnesses themselves. At Yunyao’s banquet, I will directly recognize both mother and daughter, okay?” Su Li and Wang Shi not be dealt with directly was for this purpose.

Su Qing pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly. “Mother, I know you feel sorry for me, but now that you have recognized me like this, I am satisfied and dare not ask for more.”

“Qing’er …. Do you still resent me? “ Hearing that Su Qing disagrees, Grand Princess Yi De’s heart tightened.

“No, Mother. You truly love Yunyao and me. I thank the heavens every day. How can I blame you?”

“Then why don’t you want to come back to me? You and Yao’er have suffered too much. I want to properly and justly be good to you and make your identities known to the world, letting everyone know that you are my daughter and granddaughter. You have a noble background and should enjoy the best of everything.”

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao with distressing emotions in her eyes. “Mother, my temperament is cowardly. Over the years, I have relied on Yao’er’s support. She can only look on with unparalleled glory, but I don’t know how much suffering she has suffered in the dark. I, as a mother, can’t help her because of my limited resources. I just hope that I will no longer be an obstacle to her.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood at Su Qing’s side: “Mother, what are you talking about?” How could Mother be her hindrance? She is her pillar and the driving force supporting her all the way until now. Without Mother, she would have become a tool that only knows revenge, which would not be like this at all.

Su Qing held Mu Yunyao’s hand and patted it, her eyes filled with love. “Yao’er, Mother isn’t smart. Apart from taking care of you on food, I can’t do anything else. Now that she can finally take care of you once, just listen to me. As long as Her Royal Highness Grand Princess does not recognize my identity, then you and Yue Wang will never have a blood relationship, and you can be together in good faith.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes immediately turned red. Mother had endured all sorts of hardships to raise her. She hadn’t even cared about her own life for her sake. This kind of favor was already past the heavens. How could she think that she was useless?

“Mother, I cannot be this selfish. Because of my private feelings, your identity will forever be buried. There will always be a decision whether it is right or wrong. It should be yours, and you should be allowed to own it openly. As for His Royal Highness Yue Wang and I, it is natural for lovers to bear fruit and stay together from time to time. If not, putting this affection in my heart will be enough for you to reminisce about for the rest of my life. Daughter does not feel that there is anything to regret about it.”

Hearing their conversation, Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but sigh. “Qing’er, I understand what you’re thinking. But Yao’er is right, and you should have your own identity. This way, no matter if it’s you or Yao’er, you will have endless benefits. In the future, you will slowly understand.”

Although Jin Wang’s Lantern Festival seemed to be extremely lively, in reality, no one had any intention of watching the lanterns. After the banquet ended, everyone hurriedly dispersed.

Mu Yunyao followed The Grand Princess Yi De and left. Just as she was about to board the carriage, she saw Jin Wang walk over with a palace lantern in his hand, “Yunyao, I made this myself. The appearance can’t be considered exquisite. But it can still be considered as a gift. How about it?”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and looked at the octagonal palace lantern in Jin Wang’s hand. The workmanship was exquisite and delicate. The patterns were carefully drawn on each side. Carrying a small poem that was appropriate to the scene, she knew at first glance that it took a lot of thought: “Thank you, Your Royal Highness Jin Wang. Jin Lan, keep it.” After speaking, she got into the carriage directly.

Jin Wang handed the lanterns over to Jin Lan. He watched the carriage leave with a smile on his face. After he returned to his residence, he looked at the shadows on one side and said, “Everyone has left. Come out.”

Su Qingwu walked out and bowed respectfully towards Jin Wang, “Many thanks to His Royal Highness Jin Wang. If it wasn’t for Jin Wang’s cooperation today, Su Li and Wang Shi wouldn’t have been able to get close to the mansion gate.

“Qingwu, you should know that I’ve taken a huge risk today in order to help you.” The Grand Princess Yi De was quite intelligent, and she could certainly see the role he played in it.

“Your Royal Highness, I am truly grateful for your support and protection.”

Jin Wang looked at Su Qingwu, saw his grateful face, and sighed slightly. “Alright, get up. I know your abilities, if you weren’t implicated by your family, you should have a bright future, but it’s a pity... In ten days, you are going to marry my sixth sister. Huaiyang is pure and simple. As long as you treat her well, she will definitely be dead set on you. Only then will the Su Family truly be saved, understand?”

“Yes, this subordinate understands.”

“Mm, you can go back.”

After Su Qingwu left, Jin Wang suddenly sneered, “The Su family is truly unexpected.”

The steward of Jin Wang’s Palace walked over. “Your Royal Highness, today, when Grand Princess Yi De left, she seemed to be in a rage. Could it implicate you?”

“Although I was playing a little trick on you, in the end, Imperial Aunt found her real daughter. Thus, why would Imperial Aunt complain about me?” Oh yeah, how’s the investigation going at Yue Wang’s side?”

“Reporting to Your Royal Highness, I’ve never paid much attention to this prince before, but now that we’re investigating him, I don’t know where to start. He seems to be the same as before, practicing his soldiers all day, and there isn’t anything special about him.”

Jin Wang frowned. He was not satisfied with the result. “I keep having the feeling that Yue Wang is not simple. Put a few people into Yue Wang’s Palace and keep an eye on his every move. I do not believe that he will not reveal anything. Also, what’s going on with Ling Wang. When did he take away Yi Bao Xuan?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 459

~ NOW THAT THE CONSPIRACY IS OVER, THE SU FAMILY IS TAKING RISKS STEP BY STEP ~ 

Su Qing stood beside the Grand Princess Yi De and looked at Su Li and Wang Shi with a complicated expression.

When she was adopted, she had a hard time. In the beginning, she didn’t know that she was not their biological child. Seeing that children her age were taken care of by her parents, but she had to dress herself and eat alone, she felt very envious in her heart. Later on, she grew a bit older and overheard the argument between the two, and she knew that she was adopted, so the injustice in her heart was gone. She was instructed to do work all day and stopped arguing. Afterward, she married Mu Cheng and left her adoptive parents’ house. She gradually forgot about the shadow they brought to her. Unexpectedly, they came here.

The Grand Princess Yi De’s expression was indifferent as she said, “Su Qing, who you two are looking for, has already arrived. Then tell me, what matter is involved both her and Ben Gong?”

The two of them were already nervous. But upon hearing the Grand Princess’s words, their expressions became even more cautious. “Reporting to the Grand Princess, this humble commoner is from a lowly background. If it wasn’t for the fact that this matter is of great importance, I wouldn’t dare to come to this mansion and disturb Her Royal Highness. The reason why I took the liberty to come here is because the matter is related to Su Qing’s true identity.”

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly raised her eyes. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes were indifferent. She didn’t seem to make any unnecessary movements, and her imposing aura was already spreading in all directions, “Speak the truth.”

“Yes, it was only recently that the commoner couple found out that Su Qing was not the daughter of the Su family. She might even be the daughter of the Grand Princess.”

“How dare you!” Qu Mama snorted sharply, “How dare you speak nonsense in front of the Grand Princess. Men, drag these two bold and troublesome villains down.”

The surrounding guests who heard this were shocked on the spot. Su Qing is the lost daughter of the Su family, so how did she get involved with Grand Princess Yi De now?

The two of them quickly knelt down. Su Li kept kowtowing, but the words in his mouth did not stop. “Her Royal Highnesss Grand Princess, this humble one does not dare to lie to you. Su Qing is really your daughter.”

The Grand Princess Yi De raised her hand to stop Qu Mama. With a calm voice, she asked, “You said Su Qing is my daughter. What evidence do you have?”

Su Li carefully took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket. Half of a piece of the Phoenix Jade was wrapped in it, “Please have a look, Her Royal Highness Grand Princess. Can this jade pendant be used as evidence?”

[Phoenix Marking Jade]... It was the keepsake she had left with her daughter …

The Grand Princess Yi De frowned, motioned to Qu Mama to step forward and take it, and rubbed it carefully in her hand: “Why do you have this half piece of jade?”

“To tell Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess, this matter is a long story. In the beginning, my wife and I had no children for many years, so we thought about adopting a child. We met the young Su Qing in the hand of a man coincidentally. She was one or two years old, and she could not walk steadily, but she was protecting a child younger than her. We, husband and wife, could not bear to see them in such a state. So, we bought them from the man and named them both sisters Su Qing and Su Xue.”

“What does it have to do with this jade pendant?” The Grand Princess was impatient to hear their stories. “Reporting to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess, please let this commoner finish his story first. These two children had a deep relationship and were willing to share anything. At seven years old, Su Qing slipped, fell into the river, and Su Xue accidentally drowned in order to save her....” As Su Li said this, he couldn’t help but wipe his tears, “Su Qing was very sad, so she gave Su Xue her personal jade pendant, which is this half piece of phoenix pattern jade, and buried it with Su Xue. She also had the jade ornament that Su Xue left behind, but we didn’t notice it when the child was young. This year, the village wanted to move the grave, and we helped Xue’er collect the bones and found this jade pendant. After discovering this jade pendant, I suddenly remember this matter....”

Su Xue, Su Qing …

Before the two of them could finish their words, the surrounding guests had already made up for the situation for them in their hearts. The exchange of mementos had happened too long ago, and the couple had forgotten about it. Later, when they saw the keepsakes and remembered them, Su Qing had already been mistakenly picked up as the daughter of the Su family. They took the jade to clearly distinguish when they asked so they would not be held responsible after the Su family discovered it.

The Grand Princess Yi De gave the Phoenix Marking Jade in her hand to Mu Yunyao. “Yao’er, take a look.”

Mu Yunyao took the Phoenix Marking Jade and carefully stroked it for a moment before lowering her head to look at the people kneeling on the ground. “Have you seen the Su family?”

“Yes... we took this piece of jade and found the Su family. Initially, we wanted to tell them that Su Qing was not the biological daughter of the Su family, but we did not expect to be informed that Su Qing might be the daughter of The Grand Princess Yi De. That’s the reason why we came here to seek confirmation from the Grand Princess. After all, the Grand Princess loves her daughter. If Qing’er is really the daughter of the Grand Princess, then everyone will be happy.”

In the beginning, quite a few people knew that Su Qing had brought half a piece of Jade Marking Phoenix Mark on her. Thus, it was reasonable to guess this.

Wang Shi raised her head and looked at the Grand Princess, then Su Qing, before revealing a fawning smile. “Although Qing’er is not our biological daughter, we have nurtured and loved her for so many years, and we still hope that she can find her true relatives.”

The corner of Mu Yunyao’s mouth lifted into a smile, her eyes carrying thick ridicule. “You guys sure are kind.”

The Grand Princess Yi De raised her teacup and took a sip, then turned to look at Shen Binghuai. “Lord Shen, you are the governor of Shuntian Manor, but the matter involves my children, which is also related to the Imperial Family. I will have someone interrogate them personally, so Lord Shen shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

“Yes, everything will be handled by the Grand Princess.” Shen Binghuai responded quickly.

“Qu Mama, bring Su Li and Wang Shi down and arrange for them to stay for the time being. I must thoroughly investigate this matter.” Did the Su family regard her and the Imperial Family as a fool so they could mess around with us? Let’s not talk about concealing the news about her daughter, and now they had made up an excuse for her sister and Su Qing. Did they really think that pulling a child who had died for Su Qing’s sake could offset the evil deeds the Su family had done?

Qu Mama had Su Li and Wang Shi retreat.

The Grand Princess Yi De raised her head and looked at Jin Wang. “Junjin, today is the Lantern Festival, although some small changes have occurred, but don’t ruin the interest of so many people. Let the Lantern Festival continue as usual.”

Jin Wang quickly replied, “Yes, I’ll go make the arrangements.”

The banquet was still going on as usual, but after hearing such a crucial piece of news, the people present didn’t have the mood to enjoy the lanterns. They were all thinking about what Su Li and Wang Shi had just said. Everyone was already envious of Mu Yunyao being recognized by Grand Princess Yi De as her granddaughter. If Mu Yunyao wasn’t chosen by luck, but by nature? If she was related by blood to the Grand Princess, what happened to make her mother become the daughter of the Su family? What unspeakable secret was there in exposing all of this? The move of the Su family indeed confused people.

Mu Yunyao placed the Pheonix Jade Pendant on the table and raised her eyes to look at Grand Princess Yi De with a smile. “Grandmother, what do you think the Su family is up to?” In order to not reveal her mother and her true identity before, they had thought of killing them to silence them. But now, they actually disclosed this information of their own accord.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 458

~ GUIDING THE PHOENIX BACK, SU QING’S ADOPTIVE PARENTS ARRIVED ~ 

Mu Yunyao frowned and coldly said, “Elder Sister Zhang, you’re confused.”

“I’m confused? Oh, do you think I’m crazy? ” Zhang Wan’s eyes were filled with hatred, and the hatred was sharp like the tip of a needle, tightly wrapping around her, making it impossible for anyone safely approaches her. “I love Su Qingwu with all my heart and only look forward to marrying him as his wife when the new year is approaching. But unexpectedly, not only did I ruin my appearance and almost lose my life, I was also disgraced by the annulment of the marriage. Mu Yunyao, I should thank you. If it weren’t for the letter that you had someone send over, I’d probably have hung myself with a piece of white silk.”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao walked over quickly. Seeing that Zhang Wan was holding on tightly to Mu Yunyao, they hurried to protect her. “Miss Zhang, please be respectful.”

Zhang Wan abruptly let go of Mu Yunyao’s arm, smiled, and said, “Little Sister, the weather these days is not good, so you must be careful. Don’t slip on the ice and hurt yourself. Besides, thank you for your reminder.”

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze. In just a short time, Zhang Wan had already changed beyond recognition.

Jin Lan stepped forward to inspect Mu Yunyao’s arm. After discovering that it was only a patch of red, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss, how did that Miss Zhang become like this? She looks very frightening.”

Mu Yunyao tidied up her sleeves and had mixed thoughts in her heart. Back then, she couldn’t go to the Great Scholar’s residence personally, so she could only ask someone to send a letter. The contents of the letter were ordinary greetings, but there was a hidden sentence that vaguely mentioned the cause of the death of Zhang Wan’s biological mother. With her thoughts exhausted, this is the only thing that can cheer her up, but looking at Zhang Wan’s appearance today, she seems to have done something wrong. After all, not everyone can be reborn like Lady Jin and Ding Yuelan.

Jin Qiao helped Mu Yunyao sit down on the seat and said softly, “Miss, this servant did not report to you in time during the New Year. The Great Scholar’s residence has been restless recently. It was said that the step-mother was sick and had a rash all over her body. Scratching ruined her appearance, and she was unable to attend today’s banquet.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed, and a shallow light flashed as she said, “Got it.” From love to worry, from love to fear… The word ‘love’ could make a person’s heart hurt, but where Zhang Wan would end up was still depends on herself.

The guests had all arrived. After enjoying the plum blossoms for a while, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but think of something. “Why haven’t you heard of His Majesty’s arrival at this hour?”

“This servant doesn’t know. In the past, as long as Grand Princess Yi De appears, the Emperor will arrive soon. Today … Could it be that there was something that was delayed in the Imperial Court?”

“The Emperor hasn’t even started writing yet, so the subjects won’t be so blind as to go and add to the problem. What will happen at this time?” Mu Yunyao’s thoughts spun. What could hold the Emperor back was probably not the Imperial Court but the Imperial Harem. Could it be that Consort De decided to push Su Yuyi out today?

Mu Yunyao returned to the side of Grand Princess Yi De. When she arrived, she heard Jin Wang’s report to Grand Princess Yide. “Imperial Aunt, the Imperial Palace has sent an edict from Imperial Father saying that he couldn’t come to participate in The Lantern Festival because he had matters to attend t, so it’s time for us to begin the banquet.”

The Grand Princess Yi De nodded. “Since that’s the case, let’s begin the banquet.”

Just as the sound of silk and bamboo rang out and the music was in its contentment, a passionate sound of music suddenly rang out. The sound was like the shattering of a piece of jade in Mount Kunlun; it stirred the hearts of those who heard it.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and saw a lady playing the harp on the stage.

The sound of the harp was getting louder and more exciting, coupled with the harmony of the surrounding musical instruments, causing one’s mind to fluctuate uncontrollably with the music.

When the music subsided, the Grand Princess turned her head to look at Jin Wang, “What is this piece of music? How come I’ve never heard it before?”

“Imperial Aunt, this is a new song called Guiding the phoenix back.”

“Guiding the phoenix back? It’s a good name, and it suits the tune as well. You deserve a reward.”

“Thank you, Imperial Aunt.”

Mu Yunyao slightly furrowed her brows, her anxiety getting worse and worse. She looked around, but she didn’t see Yue Wang: Has he not arrived yet?

“Reporting to Your Royal Highness Jin Wang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Lord Shen, came with an old couple claimed to be the adoptive parents of Madam Su.”

“Madam Su?”

“Yes.” The guard said as he raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao.

Jin Wang was stunned, then he came to a realization, “Yunyao, your mother’s surname is Su, right? Could it be that your mother’s adoptive parents have come to find you here?”

Mu Yunyao’s expression did not change, “How did my mother’s adoptive parents find this place?”

Weren’t those two controlled by Yue Wang’s men? Yue Wang sent many people to inquire about the details of Su Qing’s adoption, but unfortunately, the things they knew were limited, so they didn’t get any valuable information. Why did they suddenly come to the Capital and even find the Jin family’s residence?

The Grand Princess Yi De’s complexion is not good-looking either. She already knew that Su Qing had suffered many hardships at the hands of her adoptive parents. However, she did not want to pursue the matter too much because of the favor of raising her. She only asked people to investigate secretly, so it will not be gossip for Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. Unexpectedly, these two dared to come here?

Jin Wang looked somewhat awkwardly at Grand Princess Yi De. “Imperial Aunt, Lord Shen personally brought people here in person, and it is said that there is no important thing to report. Since that’s the case, should we invite them in?”

Grand Princess Yi De looked at Jin Wang with a face full of anger and joy: “You’re quite considerate. Since Shen Binghuai brought people here, then we’ll meet them.”

Very quickly, Shen Binghuai and a restrained couple were brought up. When the two of them saw Su Qing, they were pleasantly surprised. Before they could open their mouths to speak, Qu Mama, who was at the side, sternly shouted: “How dare you! Why didn’t you kneel when you saw the Grand Princess?”

“This commoner Su Li and his wife Wang Shi have seen Grand Princess Yi De.”

Princess Yi De calmly said, “Stand up. You came here today to look for someone. It seems that there are some things that must be said in front of so many people. Am I right?”

Shen Binghuai was sweating profusely, and he could feel the anger radiating from Grand Princess Yi De’s body. However, this old couple had found the Shuntian Manor, and their words were too shocking. He could not make his own decision and could only bring this hot potato directly intact.

“Her Royal Highness, when we heard that you were here, we hurried over because this matter not only involved our adopted daughter, Su Qing, but also involved you.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled as she suddenly raised her head to look at Su Li and Wang Shi, who kneeled on the ground.

The expression of the Grand Princess of Yi De was indifferent. “Since it involves Su Qing, then go and fetch someone first. Jin Wang, you should be so happy to invite people, right?”

“Imperial Aunt has orders, so her nephew will naturally send someone to go immediately.” Jin Wang didn’t seem to notice the coldness and judgment in Grand Princess Yi De’s words, but his attitude was still gentle and polite.

Very quickly, Su Qing was invited over. When she saw Su Li and Wang Shi, who kneeled on the ground, her expression changed slightly. She quickly regained her composure and said, “I have seen Her Royal Highness Grand Princess.”

“Stand up. Your adoptive parents said that they have something important to talk about. It not only involves you but also me. If that’s the case, then Ben Gong (I) will naturally listen carefully.”

It was the first time that Grand Princess Yi De addressed herself as Ben Gong. As her words fell, a silent and imposing aura suddenly spread out, causing everyone present to lower their heads and kneel on the ground. The people only knew that the Grand Princess was a devout and humble person, but they didn’t know that this Grand Princess had also carried a sword and straddled a horse, and stepped on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood ...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 457

~ CURRY FAVOR WITH ~ 

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but shake her head when she walked out of Yue Wang’s Palace and got on the carriage. As she looked at the signed deed in her hand, she felt that she’d never done such a loss-making business before.

She did not know what was going on, so she agreed in a daze. Yue Wang even used his own body to repay the ten thousand taels of gold owed to her, and he also signed an unsightly deed. If this news were to spread, the dignified prince would use a contract to compensate her. Wouldn’t he be laughed off?

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao sat at the side, not daring to make a sound. After they saw that they had returned to the mansion, they reminded, “Miss, we’ve returned to the mansion.”

“Yes.” Mu Yunyao could only put away the deed and return to the mansion to rest and change her clothes. She was prepared to participate in Jin Wang Palace’s Lantern Festival in the evening.

Jin Wang Palace’s Lantern Festival was held very lively. When the Emperor heard that Grand Princess Yi De also participated, he agreed to reward him grandly. In this way, other people who received the invitation would not miss it.

After resting in the mansion for a short time, Mu Yunyao went to Grand Princess Yi De’s Estate to accompany her to Jin Wang Palace.

The overseer of the Jin Wang Palace was extremely beautiful. It was originally a royal garden built, and not only was the area large, but the scenery was also first-class. After Jin Wang reached adulthood, he was bestowed with a royal title. Compared to Yue Wang, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

On the carriage, the Grand Princess Yi De sized her up, “Yao’er, what’s going on? From the very beginning, you have always had a preoccupied look on your face.”

Mu Yunyao smiled, and her smile was a little reluctant. “Grandmother, I don’t know what’s wrong, but I feel a bit panicked inside, as if something important has happened.” It had been a long time since she had felt this way.

The Grand Princess Yi De took her hand and patted her, “Don’t worry, no one will be able to hurt you with Grandmother around.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and followed Grand Princess Yi De in.

Jin Wang had long since greeted her at the entrance. Upon seeing Grand Princess Yi De, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted her, “Greetings, Imperial Aunt.”

“Yunyao greets Third Uncle.”

“Yao’er, there is no need to be so courteous. Imperial Aunt, today is a feast for the eyes, so the rules aren’t strict. The guests are mostly moving about on their own, and I hope that Imperial Aunt doesn’t be held accountable.” As Jin Wang spoke, he stepped forward to support Grand Princess Yi De’s hand, and they walked in.

“Don’t worry about it. Since it’s a lantern festival, sitting in the hall would be a waste of this great night.”

Mu Yunyao took huge strides, her skirt slightly swaying as she stepped into Jin Wang’s Palace.

The scenery here was precisely the same as he remembered. Even though it was winter, flowers in full bloom could still be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and various lanterns hung in patchwork. Under the illumination of the lanterns, the scenery becomes more and more gorgeous.

Jin Wang led the Eldest Princess Yi De to Chaji Garden. Before they even entered, they saw a field of flowers blooming everywhere. Just in response to the beautiful scenery of the good day, he watched the colorful flowers blooming all over.

In her previous life, when she lived in Jin Wang’s Palace, she liked to visit this place, and it was her favorite courtyard. Later on, to show his kindness, Jin Wang divided this garden for her separately. At that time, the envious eyes of the people in the backyard turned red, and she was also overjoyed. Mu Yunyao had been wandering here for many days in this place. Now that she saw the familiar scenery again, she felt it was nothing more than this. It was not as interesting as the half-dug lotus pond at Yue Wang’s Palace.

After Jin Wang settled Grand Princess Yi De, he turned around to look at Mu Yunyao. “What kind of lanterns does Yunyao like? I’ll get someone to send you a few lanterns later.”

Jin Wang had a handsome face and a warm aura. There was a gentle smile in his eyes, and his eyebrows were all focused, giving the illusion of people being cared for with care. “Thank you, Third Uncle. I don’t like those children’s stuff.”

Mu Yunyao had a smile on her face as she nodded happily: “Alright, then I’ll have to work harder.”

“Alright, I’ll go greet the other guests first. If there’s anything to tell me in time, take care of yourself and don’t be bumped.”

Looking at Jin Wang’s leaving figure, the smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips did not change, but the look in her eyes had become completely cold. Jin Wang had suddenly expressed goodwill to her. What was he planning to do?

Having just arrived at Jin Wang Palace, she was already incredibly uneasy. At this moment, she felt as if something big was about to happen and felt anxious from the bottom of her heart.

“Yao’er doesn’t have to be with me. Just go to the garden to enjoy the scenery.” Gradually, some of the first-class madams came to pay their respects. Grand Princess Yi De was afraid that Mu Yunyao would feel uncomfortable, so she allowed her to pass the time by herself.

“Yes, Grandmother.”

Mu Yunyao brought Jin Lan and Jin Qiao around the garden. When she saw the large plum blossoms planted in front of Cuiyun Xuan on the side of the pavilion from afar, she couldn’t help but be stunned. “I’m going to sit in the pavilion in front. The two of you wait for me on the side.”

Jin Lan couldn’t stop worrying. “Miss, you alone....”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. “It’s fine.”

A few palace lanterns were placed under the plum tree, and the warm yellow light shone on the dark red plum blossom buds, with a blood weeping color.

“The jade bone is worried about miasma and fog, and the ice posture has its own fairy wind... The plum blossoms bloom well.”

“Little Sister Mu, long time no see.”

A slightly hoarse voice sounded. Mu Yunyao turned around and saw Zhang Wan was wearing a veil covering her face, slowly walking over. “Elder Sister Zhang, are you feeling better?”

“After recuperating for a few months, I can barely get out of bed. I have to thank Little Sister for her reminder that I didn’t drill the tip of the horn and embarked on a desperate path.” Zhang Wan looked at Mu Yunyao and faintly sighed. She raised her hand to stroke her veil and said, “I had ruined my appearance, and because of the fever, I burned my throat with the wrong medicine, which made Little Sister laugh.”

“Elder Sister Zhang, what are you talking about? People having nothing better than anything else.”

“Even though I am fine, I am only barely able to catch my breath, which is no different from the walking corpse.” Zhang Wan let out a sigh as she smiled and then stretched out her hand to take off a half-opened flower bud. She gently twirled it in her hand, and her fingertips were immediately stained with a layer of red, “Little Sister Mu, I heard that you and the Su family had messed around. How about you give me a hand?”

Mu Yunyao looked at Zhang Wan’s eyes. In the past, those eyes were filled with gentleness. Even if she was angry, there was still a faint scent of books in them. But now, it was filled with hostility. When I look at them, I feel a tremor in my heart: “I don’t know how I can help Elder Sister Zhang.”

“Little Sister, today is no longer the past. You are valued by Grand Princess Yi De and will soon be recognized by her as a granddaughter. With such an identity, let alone the Su family, even the Sixth Princess would not dare to provoke them easily, and it would be easy for you to take care of them.” Zhang Wan stepped forward and took Mu Yunyao’s hand. “The Su family has persecuted my sister several times, and this has caused the Meng family to feel enmity towards my sister. Don’t you want to take revenge?”

Zhang Wan’s voice was bewitched, and the hatred for her, which couldn’t wait to be killed, was so intense that she hardly concealed it.

“Elder Sister Zhang, how could things be so simple? No matter what, the Su family is still related to me by blood. It is impossible for me to do it against the Su family.” Mu Yunyao shook her head. Even if she wanted to make a move, she wouldn’t be used by Zhang Wan.

Zhang Wan stared at Mu Yunyao, suddenly sneered, and squeezed Mu Yunyao’s hand slowly and vigorously, “Oh, are you concerned about blood ties or about your Cousin Qingwu?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 456

~ SHE’S AFRAID SHE WON’T BE ABLE TO RAISE YUE WANG ~ 

Sorry for the late uploads. My computer broke, so I can’t update...

Mu Yunyao was drunk, but she still remembered that she wanted to help Yue Wang make longevity noodles.

Yue Wang did not dare let her go alone when he saw that she could not walk straight. Thus, he could only bring her to the kitchen.

Eunuch Cheng chased away all the cooks and servants in residence, trying his best to make room for his master to spend time with Miss Mu. In the kitchen, Mu Yunyao shakily took out a kitchen knife. Yue Wang hurriedly stepped forward to block her, “Yao’er, what do you want to cut? Let me help you.”

“Do you think I can’t even make a bowl of noodles?” Mu Yunyao raised the center of her brows, her eyes filled with an indescribable sense of grievance.

“How could that be? Yao’er is the strongest!”

Mu Yunyao reached out to take the kitchen knife, then suddenly turned around to face Yue Wang, and her expression was unfriendly, “Tell me. The deed in the New Year’s red envelope says that you will give me a hundred thousand gold taels … … Where’s the gold?”

When Yue Wang saw the kitchen knife approaching him, he leaned his body back slightly. “Do you remember what was written in my deed?”

“Of course, I remember. You said that my Yunyao is precious and priceless, so you should have been sealed with ten thousand taels of gold. However, I am short on money, so I made this deed for made up it in the future. If I cannot offer you ten thousand taels of gold, I hope that my Yunyao will agree to give me something else to make up for it...” Mu Yunyao muttered as her lips curved up in a slight smile. My Yunyao … Yue Wang’s ability to take advantage of others was quite good.

Yue Wang carefully snatched the kitchen knife from Mu Yunyao’s hand, “Right now, I don’t have ten thousand taels of gold, so I can only use other things to make up for it. What does Yunyao think of me?”

“Hmm?” Mu Yunyao blinked, not understanding what Yue Wang meant. “What happened to Fourth Master?”

“Do you think I’m worth 10,000 taels of gold?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh until her flowers were trembling, and there was a little light in her clear eyes. “Is the value of the Fourth Master something that can be measured by the amount of gold? You are simply priceless, and you can be said to be a priceless treasure.”

“Then how about I compensate you? Originally, I only owed you ten thousand gold. But now, with such a priceless treasure, you’re taking advantage of me.” As Yue Wang spoke, he carefully took the kitchen knife from Mu Yunyao’s hand.

Mu Yunyao was a little unsteady on her feet, raised her head to look at Yue Wang and restrained her smile with great difficulty, “Why do I feel like I’ve suffered a loss?” If Yue Wang pays her to himself, wouldn’t she have to support him in the future? He expends so much money, and more than 10 million taels of silver are generally spent in the blink of an eye. She may not be able to afford it to raise himself.

“You were drunk, so you thought wrong.”

Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang talked as they made longevity noodles. They spent nearly one hour making a bowl of noodles before they finally managed to eat it.

Mu Yunyao was half-sprawled on the table inside the pavilion as she propped up her chin to look at Yue Wang eating noodles. “What does Fourth Master think of the taste.”

The noodles in the bowl are a bit mushy, the salt is a bit heavy, and the taste is not very good. But at this time, looking at Mu Yunyao’s bright eyes, he only feels that the delicacies in the world are nothing more than this: “Naturally, it is excellent.”

Mu Yunyao smiled with her eyes bent, urging Yue Wang to eat the noodles fast.

When Yue Wang finished eating and raised his head, Mu Yunyao had already fallen asleep beside the table.

Yue Wang put down his tableware, took the cloak on one side, and helped Mu Yunyao put it on. Then he bent over and picked her up before walking to his room.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were a little anxious. Although Young Miss had fallen with Her Royal Highness, there was a difference between men and women, so it didn’t seem proper for them after all.

The room where Yue Wang was going to sleep was as simple as the layout outside, except that the mandarin duck embroidered moon brocade on the bed is particularly dazzling. It was precisely the bed Mu Yunyao hugged to Yue Wang in Baohua Temple.

After placing Mu Yunyao on the bed and covering her with the quilt, Yue Wang sat down on the bedside and gently smoothed the hair at the side of her face. His eyes flashed with gentleness: “Yunyao … Yao’er ….”

Mu Yunyao slept soundly. Perhaps because she felt a familiar aura, her face couldn’t help but rub against the quilt as a satisfied smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Yue Wang smiled as he looked at her appearance, only to feel that the sweetness and warmth in his heart were spreading infinitely, not understanding why he liked her so much. He adjusted his plans for her one after another, abruptly leaving a large area for her in the life that he had planned out. He was so happy in his heart and even full of sweet expectations.

On the bed, Mu Yunyao moaned softly. Her butterfly-winged eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes slowly, “Umm....”

Yue Wang came back to his senses and felt his body stiffen. Only then did he realize that he had already been sitting on the bed for almost an hour and a half: “Yunyao, are you better now?”

When Mu Yunyao first saw the brocade bed, she had thought she was inside her room. When she heard Yue Wang’s voice, she suddenly came back to her senses and promptly looked around, “Fourth Master, I...”

“You were drunk, so you slept for a while.”

Is she drunk? Mu Yunyao carefully remembered and discovered that her mind was totally blank. She couldn’t recall anything that had happened, “The osmanthus flower brewing wine is so indifferent. How could I have gotten drunk?”

“I’m afraid you’ve never been to a bar before?”

Mu Yunyao carefully thought back. It was true that she had gone to a banquet in Jingling City before. But, she was young and taken special care of, so she never drank wine before. Today was Yue Wang’s birthday, and she was so happy for a moment that she actually forgot about this stubble.

“What time is it now? I have to go to the banquet held by His Highness Jin Wang in the evening?”

“It’s still early. But Yao’er, do you remember what you promised me?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head in puzzlement, “What did I promise to Fourth Master?”

“The red envelope I gave you previously stated that I want to give you 10,000 taels of gold. But unfortunately, I, as a prince, have a tough time. Other than this estate, I have nothing else to offer, so I can only give myself to you.” Yue Wang said with a smile in his eyes.

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment and carefully recalled the memories in her mind. She could only think of herself toasting to Yue Wang, and then she remembered everything else. “Fourth Master, could you be coaxing me? You are a priceless individual, and the 10,000 taels of gold that you said in the red envelope is truly too useless.”

Yue Wang sighed, with some reluctance in his tone: “Originally, I didn’t want to do this. However, you threatened me with a kitchen knife, and I have no choice but to promise you. From today onwards, I am yours, and you must have the most faith in this person. Once I agree with something, I will not regret it. In the future, Yao’er will treat me better and be nicer to me.”

Mu Yunyao’s breath froze, threatening with a kitchen knife? She wasn’t crazy. How could she do such a thing?

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s stunned expression, the smile in Yue Wang’s heart became more powerful, and the grievance on his face grew heavier, “Yunyao, you couldn’t have forgotten what you have done, do you?”

“I …” How come she didn’t have the slightest impression at all? In addition, the poor Yue Wang jingled. How was it worth ten thousand taels of gold? This person was clearly taking advantage of her!

Yue Wang gave a gentle laugh and said shamelessly: “I don’t care. Anyway, you promised.”
