~ FEEL IT. MY HEART IS BURNING ~
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before her face flushed red. The sadness and sorrow in her heart slowly dissipated, “Fourth Master, you’re getting more and more unruly now.”
“You and I have already decided to spend our lives privately. Naturally, there is no need to abide by those complicated etiquettes.” Looking at Mu Yunyao’s slightly flushed face, Yue Wang felt his heart go soft. After he finished, he was afraid that she would get angry, so he hurriedly added, “Yao’er, do you think I am rash?”
Yue Wang squatted down in front of Mu Yunyao and held her hand with nervousness in his eyes. Ever since he fell in love with Yunyao, he always felt an urge to grab onto something in his heart. After seeing her, Yue Wang wanted to get closer to her. After getting closer, he also wanted to touch her. But after touching her, he felt that he wasn’t intimate enough … This feeling was particularly torturous.
Mu Yunyao saw his straight back and slightly stiff expression due to nervousness and couldn’t help but laugh. “I really didn’t think that the cold-faced and cold-hearted Your Royal Highness Yue would have such a shameless and naughty time?”
Yue Wang held Mu Yunyao’s hand and placed it on his chest, “My heart has always been warm because of you.” As long as he saw Mu Yunyao, his heart was not only warm but also burning hot. It was just that those feelings were too deep, and he was afraid of scaring her, so he didn’t dare speak of it.
Mu Yunyao pursed her lips. Suddenly, she raised her hand and poked Yue Wang between his brows. Her action was exactly the same as when he nudged her before, “You only need to act like this in front of me. You absolutely cannot glib in front of other girls.”
Yue Wang laughed, his eyes brimming with a smile. “Alright.” His heart was filled with Mu Yunyao. How could he have the energy to look at other girls? In addition, no matter how many people there were in front of him, only Yunyao’s color was bright. The kind of color that can light up the darkness. It made him wish he could turn into a moth that would fly at her, cling to her, and never let go of her again.
Seeing his smile, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and nudge him again. No wonder Yue Wang liked to poke her like this. It felt rather good.
After finding the crucial witness, Zhang Li, and finding out that her father hadn’t betrayed her mother, Mu Yunyao resolved the prominent matter in her heart. She only felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
A few days later, Yu Wang arrived with the garrison troops of Huai’an City. When he saw Yue Wang, his eyes were filled with excitement. “Fourth Imperial Brother, it’s great that you’re fine.”
He had already found out from the letter that Yue Wang was safe and sound. But, if he did not see him for himself, he always felt uneasy, and now he can finally let go of his heart.
“Greetings, Second Imperial Brother. Weren’t you in Linjiang City? Why did you come here?”
“I don’t mind leaving for a day or half a day. After seeing that you are safe and sound, I will rode my horse back overnight, so I won’t delay things.”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly let them speak inside the tent before personally brewing tea for the two of them.
When Yue Wang saw the teacup, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, “Yunyao, can I drink the tea now?”
Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head, “This cup is Huaguo tea. Since Fourth Master wants to drink tea, it’s best if we wait a little longer.”
Yu Wang looked at the teacup in his hand, quickly opened the lid, and took a sip. He sighed with emotion, “It’s so fragrant. The things here are exquisite. Even in the middle of the mountain, there are still superior tea to drink.”
“Si Qin and the rest brought these tea leaves with them. I only found out about them recently, it was the first time I used them to brew tea, and it was caught by Your Royal Highness Yu Wang coincidentally. The two of you go ahead and chat. I’ll go down and prepare some food for you.”
“Yunyao,” Yue Wang called out to stop Mu Yunyao, “There’s no rush in preparing things. You can sit down and listen to it as well.”
Yu Wang felt Yue Wang’s attitude and secretly sighed in his heart. His Fourth Imperial Brother was really fallen. In the past, when he looked at people, his every glance seemed to contain ice dregs, and even Imperial Father was not an exception. But now, the way Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes were almost filled with tears. Furthermore, he was speaking softly. If he had talked to Imperial Father with the same softhearted tone, Imperial Father would not have insisted that he be assigned to Western Guangdong.
It is really one thing down and the other. It was really tough to decide to overturn things!
Mu Yunyao didn’t hesitate too much. After hearing Yue Wang’s words, she directly walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.
Yue Wang told Yu Wang about what happened after he came to Jiangnan, and together with the evidence he had hidden, he did not conceal it. “… If Yun Yao hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid I would have already lost my life.”
Yu Wang’s eyes were filled with rage, “What about the people who pushed you out to resist the wolves? To actually dare to repay a debt of kindness with an enmity, I must definitely let them have a taste of this experience!”
“Second Imperial Brother, those people are not worth mentioning. How are things handled in Linjiang City?”
“With the documents and confession that Yunyao gave me, I’ve sent people to investigate the other families in Linjiang City. We already know almost everything, but we lack sufficient evidence. However, with the mold of counterfeit official silver in your hand, it can be said that everything is ready.
In fact, this evidence is far from sufficient. After all, there are too few things linked to Jin Wang. However, it was enough for Imperial Father to believe what he had done. Moreover, they had never thought that this would become an ironclad case. As long as Imperial Father believed it, it would be enough.
“What is Second Imperial Brother planning to do?”
“This matter is too big. Even if Imperial Father were to know the truth, I’m afraid Imperial Father would do his best to protect Ling Wang and Jin Wang.”
Yue Wang nodded his head and was not too surprised by the result, “Once the people of the world find out that the princes blew up the iver wall in order to fight for power, causing so many citizens to die in flood … The face and reputation of the Imperial Family would be gone, and the prestige of the Imperial Court definitely drop to its lowest point. Imperial Father could never let that happen.”
Yu Wang turned the teacup in his hand around, “That’s right, this is the most infuriating part. However, although Imperial Father will not announce this matter to the world, he will not let the two of them off the hook lightly, which was worth it.” Those who were powerful also had many frustrations.
Mu Yunyao had already expected such an outcome. After all, compared to ruthlessly punishing Ling Wang and Jin Wang, maintaining the prestige of the Imperial Court was more important. However, it would be difficult for Jin Wang to stand up for the Emperor after this incident with the Emperor’s personality. The Emperor would never choose such a person who did not care about the life and death of the people to inherit the great cause, and there is also a gift prepared by herself. This time, she was determined to end the road for Jin Wang to climb up!
After talking about the evil things, Yu Wang looked a lot more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, “The Imperial Physicians sent by Imperial Father will soon arrive in Yishui City. The garrison troops of Huai’an City will stay here. They were the ones who helped clear the roads previously, and now they can stay here and maintain order in Yishui City.”
Yue Wang nodded his head: “Alright. Thank you for your consideration, Second Imperial Brother. Leave the matter here to Yunyao and me. We’ll have to trouble Second Imperial Brother over at Linjiang City.”
Yu Wang stepped forward and patted Yue Wang’s shoulder, “Fourth Imperial Brother gave this credit to me this time. Thus, I will remember this friendship. When you and Yunyao have your wedding, your Second Imperial Sister in law and I will definitely send a generous gift.”
Hearing Yu Wang teases him, Yue Wang could not help but reply: “Second Imperial Brother, you should first marry Miss Min before talking about this.”
