Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 584

~ WHAT’S THERE TO BE AFRAID OF PEOPLE SAID? ~
 
Two days later, Jin Qiao quickly walked into the room to report to Mu Yunyao, “Miss, the Emperor has issued an order to deprive Su Yuyi of her title and lock her up in Lenghua Palace.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze and suppressed the coldness in her eyes. “What about the others? How were they dealt with?”

“Yu Wang and Princess Yu’s side had been rewarded with many things. They still resided in Liyang Palace and had no intentions of leaving. In the Imperial Court, the Censor had written many times that the Liyang Palace was the residence of the Crown Prince and Princess of all generations, so having Yu Wang live there was improper, but the Emperor ignored it.

On the other hand, after the Emperor took away the phoenix seal, Imperial Concubine Li made many moves to make things difficult for Imperial Concubine Qi, causing quite a bit of commotion in the Imperial Harem. The Imperial Concubine Qi had been ignoring her all this time, but she suddenly began investigating the account books of the Internal Affairs Department. Imperial Concubine Li appeared panicking and invited the Li family to enter the Palace.

“The account books of the Internal Affairs Department?” Mu Yunyao slightly raised her brows. “Imperial Concubine Li, the Li family, the Internal Affairs Department... Imperial Concubine Qi was also A senior member of the Palace, so she definitely wouldn’t do it without thinking. Who knew? Maybe Imperial Concubine Li suffered a big loss this time. By the way, where is Imperial Concubine Zhen? She seems to have been quiet for a few days now.”

“After Jin Wang was confined, the Imperial Concubine Zhen closed the palace gate, fasted, recited Buddhism all day, and spent the entire day meditating, saying that she wanted to help Jin Wang pray for his blessings. Yesterday, such a huge incident happened in the Palace, so she stayed in her own Palace and did not go out.”

“This isn’t like Imperial Concubine Zhen’s behavior. Forget it. No matter what, the Emperor’s health is not good, so I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in the Palace for a few more days. You leave the Palace and bring some news to Liu Liang, asking him to help me keep an eye on Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou. If there is anything, please send a message to the Palace promptly. In addition, let Ni Yun Fang prepare the material because I want to make some clothes.”

Jin Lan was a bit curious. “Didn’t you just finish your summer dress a few days ago? Miss even said there are too many clothes to wear, so why must we start making them again today?”

Mu Yunyao’s face revealed a sweet smile. “Those clothes were all worn on a normal day, and now I must wear them when I get married. It’s naturally different.”

Jin Lan was stunned momentarily, then suddenly became happy: “Miss, are you going to marry His Royal Highness Yue Wang?”

Mu Yunyao smiled wider as her bright eyes shone with radiance. “That’s right, it shouldn’t be long before the Emperor decrees the marriage.”

“This is great! This servant will tell the embroidery ladies of Ni Yun Fang to pick out the best fabric and embroidery thread. They must help Miss make the most beautiful wedding dress.”

“When I helped Princess Yu make the wedding dress, I also had some plans in my heart. I drew a design another day and asked the embroidery ladies to study it. I will do the main embroidery, but the wedding dress is complicated, and many other places still need their help.”

“This servant will immediately leave the Palace and tell this good news to the embroidery ladies of Ni Yun Fang. They will be thrilled.”

“Go ahead. Be careful on the road.”

After several days of careful recuperation, the Emperor’s condition gradually stabilized, and the worried Grand Princess Yi De finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yunyao finished drawing the wedding design. Just as she was about to leave the Palace, Jin Qiao ran in hastily and said, “Miss, the censors disagree with you and Your Royal Highness Yue Wang’s relationship…”

The joy in Mu Yunyao’s eyes gradually faded. “I’ve long since thought of something like this. I never thought it would appear at this critical moment. What did the Censor say?”

“The Censor said... they said that the relationship between you and Your Royal Highness Yue Wang was between a niece and an uncle and that being together messed up the bloodline’s ethics.”

“What did the Emperor say?”

“The Emperor doesn’t pay any attention to this, but the Censors are extremely stubborn. Until now, there are still a few people kneeling at the entrance of the imperial study.”

Mu Yunyao arranged the medicine box and asked Jin Qiao to pick it up. “Let’s go. It’s time to give the Emperor his pulse.”

“Miss, if you go over now, I’m afraid you will encounter those Censors. As an official, the censors usually do not care about authority and even dare to criticize the Emperor for his wrongdoings in the Imperial Court. I am afraid they would probably say something displeasing to you. “

Mu Yunyao chuckled lightly. “When I decided to be with Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, I had already planned to face all these rumors and slanders. Let alone a few Censors, even if it’s pointed out by thousands of people, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Within the imperial study, the Emperor finished reviewing the imperial memorial. He took a sip of tea and asked, “Xu Li, are those Censors kneeling outside?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, they’ve been kneeling on the ground the entire time and haven’t left.”

“Hmm, since they want to kneel, then let them kneel. Go to Yuhua Palace. Tell them I will see Imperial Elder Sister and have lunch with her at noon. Let’s have Lady Huiyi personally cook and prepare more food. After tasting Xu Yanhan’s cooking skills, the Emperor was pleasantly surprised. He typically lacked an appetite during the summer, but now he’s unusually eager for every meal.

“Yes, your servant will go now.” Just as Xu Li was about to leave, he saw Eunuch Li hurriedly walk in.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess WexXian has arrived. She is currently being held back by the Censors.”

The Emperor raised an eyebrow. “Oh? That’s great. Xu Li doesn’t need to go. I’ll tell her directly when Yunyao has finished talking with the Censor.”

Since Mu Yunyao was determined to be with Junyue, she would have to face these rumors sooner or later. It wouldn’t matter if she met with the Master Censors earlier. Since they were in the Palace, those censors wouldn’t dare to go overboard.

“Yes.”

Outside the hall, the Master Censors all became excited when they saw Mu Yunyao. “Princess Wenxian, your relationship with His Royal Highness Yue Wang, is this true?”

Mu Yunyao looked at the Master Censor’s report with a face full of contempt. Her expression was quite icy. “Seriously.”

“Princess Wenxian, as his niece, you seduced your uncle, which truly disgraced Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess.”

“Lord Censor, you are ignoring the matters of the country, ignoring the livelihood of the common people, and wholeheartedly focusing on the personal relationships of others. You did not give the Censor any face.”

“At such a young age, speaking and doing things so rampantly, there are no rules.”

Mu Yunyao looked at his official uniform and waved at the guards beside her. “Drag him away, and the staff will chastise him ten times.”

The Master Censor opened his eyes wide and said, “I am a court official. You have no right to punish me.”

Mu Yunyao coldly smiled. “My title, Princess Wenxian, was bestowed by the Emperor and can barely be considered of the first rank. As for you, who are from imperial history, your rank should be fourth, right? When I saw that you were not polite and uttered rude words, I beat you ten times with the stick, which is completely in line with the laws of the Dali Dynasty.”

“The official is not guilty by words. Princess, you cannot punish me!” The official’s face flushed red.

“I’m punishing you because you did not abide by the rules of respect and inferiority, not because of the remarks you accused me of. Could it be that in the hearts of all the Censors, you can act recklessly, disobey the rules, and do whatever you want?”

“Princess Wenxian …” Before the Master Censor could say anything, the guard dragged him down and pressed against the ground with his staff ten times.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 583

~ THE EMPEROR GRANTS THE MARRIAGE ~ 

Returning to Yuhua Palace, Mu Yunyao prepared a calming tea for Grand Princess Yi De and chatted with her mother for a while before returning to her room.

Jin Lan brought some hot water and helped Mu Yunyao wash up. “Miss, you should rest early. Today is really too tiring.”

“Mm, you should rest early as well.”

Lying on the bed, Mu Yunyao couldn’t fall asleep.

Since she was reborn, her thoughts have been mostly on her and her mother’s lives. Later, her vision gradually widened, and she began to scheme for revenge. After that, she met Yue Wang, and her life gradually became colorful. But no matter how much, there will be no more.

She did not think about the matters of the nation, nor did she pay attention to the citizens. She even took a series of actions, such as relieving the victims and giving porridge, just to gain a good name for herself. Today, after seeing how the Emperor had racked his brains for the inheritance of the imperial throne, she suddenly felt that she should do something.

Mu Yunyao tossed and turned on her bed, her thoughts drifting further away bit by bit until the latter half of the night before she finally fell asleep.

The next day, she woke up a little late. After packing, she hurriedly went to the main hall to pay her respects. “Grandmother, good morning. I am sorry, I was late.”

“I knew that you were exhausted, so I didn’t get anyone to wake you up today. Did you sleep well?”

“It’s good, Grandmother. The Emperor’s side …”

“There’s no hurry. The Emperor has gone to the Imperial Court earlier today. You should eat something first and then go over to take a look at the Emperor’s pulse.”

Mu Yunyao frowned, “Grandmother, the Emperor’s health isn’t very good. What he needs the most is rest. If he head to the Imperial Court now, I don’t know if he can hold on.”

“Right now, stability should be the main priority in the court, especially when there was an accident at Yu Wang’s banquet. All of the officials in the court will be paying attention to the Emperor’s every move. To stabilize the hearts of the officials, the Emperor will have to persevere even if it feels uncomfortable.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart was filled with even more admiration. “Then I’ll go and organize some medicinal materials. A few days ago, I found a few prescriptions for medicinal medicine to recuperate the body and can let the imperial physicians have a look. If there’s no problem, I’ll make some so that the Emperor can regularly consume them.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

When Mu Yunyao arrived at the Yangxin Residence and had just finished greeting the Emperor, she heard the Emperor’s suppressed cough. “Cough cough …. Let’s rise...”

“Your Majesty, how do you feel today?”

“After a night’s rest, I am much more comfortable than last night. On the other hand, why do you look not energetic?” The Emperor put down his brush and stretched his shoulders slightly. He felt as if a stone had fallen on his shoulder.

Mu Yunyao smiled very embarrassedly. “I was frightened by that bloody scene last night, so I didn’t sleep well at night. I apologize that I let the Emperor worry.”

“You’re still too young, aren’t you? You’ll get used to it if you go through more storms in the future.”

Mu Yunyao blushed as she smiled. “Grandmother also said the same about me. Your Majesty, may I help you check your pulse?”

“Alright.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward. After she finished checking his pulse, her expression became slightly more relaxed. “Your Majesty’s pulse is still considered stable, but you still have to pay more attention to rest. Don’t get angry during this period of time. Try your best to maintain a calm mind.”

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao and couldn’t help but think of Yue Wang. “Yunyao, you and Junyue … do you have any plans?”

Mu Yunyao’s face slightly flushed, and she looked at the Emperor in embarrassment. Her voice was a little lower than before, “Your Majesty, I once made a one year agreement with His Royal Highness Yue Wang during last autumn’s hunt, saying that we would wait for a year. If our hearts have not changed, I will marry him.”

The Emperor couldn’t help but chuckle. “The Autumn Hunt last year was in September. So you were betrothed to each other so early on. If your grandmother finds out, you will definitely be reprimanded.”

“Then Uncle Granfather, please don’t tell Grandmother.” Mu Yunyao’s gaze was slightly nervous as she looked at the Emperor with trust.

“Alright, I won’t say anything. However, September is about to arrive. Are you going to get married?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head, her face blushing even more red. “Your Majesty, do you want to grant me and His Royal Highness Yue Wang a marriage?”

“Your one-year agreement is up. Since your intentions have not changed, I am naturally willing to become a good person. Junyue’s personality is cold and unfeeling. It’s rare for him to meet someone, who can support each other, so I feel happy. After a few days, I will grant you marriage and let the imperial overseer choose a good day and let you get married as soon as possible?”

Mu Yunyao had a bright smile, but her heart gradually sank. “Many thanks to Your Majesty.”

“Get up.”

After leaving the Yangxin Residence, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but walk to a pavilion and sit down. When she thought about how the Emperor was short of breath when he spoke, she couldn’t help but keep frowning.

Yue Wang came over after her invitation. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but be worried, “Yunyao, what’s wrong?”

“Fourth Master, today, the Emperor asked me about you and me. I told him about the one year period between us, and he said he would grant us a marriage, so we can get married as soon as possible.”

When Yue Wang heard that, a look of delight suddenly appeared on his face, however, he uncontrollably turned into a look of worry.

Mu Yunyao sighed slightly, “Fourth Master also thought of it?” For the Emperor to urgently arrange their marriage, one of them must have the intention of helping them. However, the most important reason was that he was worried that his time was running out, so he wanted to see them get married as soon as possible.

“Yao’er, I believe in your medical skills. You must do your best to help Imperial Father recuperate and heal his body. At least, he could hold on for a little longer.”

“Yes.” Mu Yunyao solemnly nodded in agreement.

Thinking about what happened today at the Imperial Court, Yue Wang’s face became even more unsightly: “Yesterday, Second Imperial Brother got married, and many things happened. Li wang seemed to have felt that Imperial Father was unhappy and immediately went to the Li family. This morning, news had spread throughout the Capital that it was as soon as the marriage of Yu Wang and Princess Yu took place, the Emperor’s heir was gone, and the concubine Yue was also in trouble. This rumor made accusing the marriage of being extremely ominous and could possibly damage the foundation of the Dali Dynasty.”

The false pregnancy of Concubine Yue is related to the dignity of the royal family, so naturally, it couldn’t be spread indiscriminately. The common people do not know the truth and will inevitably think wrongly because of the rumors.

“The Li family has always been swift and decisive in their actions, and Prime Minister Li was even more decisive. I’m afraid His Royal Highness Yu Wang will be in big trouble this time.” Mu Yunyao thought carefully before replying, “Fourth Master, although Qi Ming earned the trust of the Ling wang, Qi Ming still not highly valued by the Li Family. If we wish to thoroughly investigate the Li family’s property, we still need to give it a push.”

“En, I will instruct Bu Xian Luo to cut off the Li Family’s grain industry in Jiangnan and see how the Li family reacts. With Second Imperial Brother in the Imperial Court, he should still be able to handle the situation. You should be careful of Imperial Concubine Li’s methods now because you live in the Palace with Imperial Aunt. She has been in the Palace for many years, so she has contacts in many places and her foundation is unfathomable. Be careful of her shady tricks.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 582

~ JUNYUE IS NOT SUITABLE ~ 

Grand Princess Yi De nodded, soaked the handkerchief in the water, and wiped the cold sweat off the Emperor’s forehead. “Your Majesty and Empress Wei are a young couple, and the two of them supported each other all the way over. The relationship between them was very deep, but it’s a pity that Empress Wei’s fate was not good and that she did not end well in the end.”

The doubt in Mu Yunyao’s heart intensified. “Since the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress is so good, why didn’t he protect her in the first place and instead allow her to fall into the Cold Palace?”

Grand Princess Yi De sighed, “Being in a high position, especially being in the position of Emperor, is often beyond one’s control. At that time, the situation was exceptionally complicated, as there were many things that the Emperor could not change. Yao’er, I have seen you and Junyue getting along these days. Junyue had secretly talked to me and said he no longer intended to fight for the throne, and I respect his intention. Would you feel reconciled?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head and smiled. “Grandmother, I like Ning Junyue, not the power and status he represents. Moreover, I don’t think anything about being an Emperor is good. No matter what decision Yue Wang makes, I will support him.”

Grand Princess Yi De placed the handkerchief back into the basin, grabbed Mu Yunyao’s hand, and gently patted it. “You and Yue Wang are both good children. Since you have already decided on the future path, you should unswervingly continue to walk forward and not be affected by anything else. Grandmother will always support you.”

“Thank you, Grandmother.”

On the bed, the Emperor’s mumbling grew fainter and gradually disappeared.

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to touch the Emperor’s forehead and sighed a small sigh of relief. “Grandmother, the Emperor’s fever has already subsided. He should be able to wake up soon.”

“Yes.”

After waiting for half an hour, the Emperor slowly opened his eyes. His tense mind instantly relaxed when he saw Grand Princess Yi De sitting beside him. “Imperial Elder Sister...”

Grand Princess Yi De stepped forward and helped the Emperor sit up, then took the pillow and placed it behind his back. “If the Emperor continues to act this way, I will punish you.”

“Imperial Elder Sister, what’s wrong with me?”

“You still have the nerve to ask what’s the matter. Yunyao and I have already guarded over you for the whole night. If it weren’t for Yunyao’s superb medical skills, I’m afraid that right now you … …” Grand Princess Yi De heavily sighed, her eyes full of disapproval. “For Su Yuyi, for a child that doesn’t exist, it’s worth it for you to risk your life!”

The Emperor’s expression was heavy. “Imperial Elder Sister, it isn’t just for that child. I just feel disheartened …” Although he was old, he was not blind. There was a high chance that Ling Wang and his Imperial Harem were responsible for today’s matters.

The Grand Princess Yi De naturally understood what he was thinking, but she couldn’t go any deeper and could only comfort him. “Your Majesty, so many storms and waves have come. Are you still afraid of this little bit of ups and downs?”

The Emperor sighed. “When I was still a prince, I secretly swore that if I became the Emperor one day, I would never be like the previous Emperor, holding on to the Emperor’s authority until I died, forcing several sons to fight against each other, disregarding any blood or family ties for the throne. I would choose a suitable successor and give up the throne. Once he can handle the affairs of the Imperial Court on his own, I will enjoy a few days of leisure. I remember that Imperial Elder Sister once told me that she liked the South China Sea. I have never been there in my life, so I don’t know what it looks like…”

Grand Princess Yi De held his hand. “After this matter is settled, I will accompany the Emperor to the South China Sea to take a look.”

“My Imperial Elder Sister, my body is too weak. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it that far.”

“Who said that? When the time comes, let Yunyao and Junyue accompany you. Yunyao knows medicine, and she can help you recover your body. Yue Wang knows martial arts and can also protect us. This trip across the South China Sea may sound very far, but it’s less than a month’s journey.

We will travel mountains and rivers, admiring the beautiful river and mountains under your leadership, and we will arrive before we know it.”

The Emperor seemed to have been comforted by the image Grand Princess Yi De envisioned. His serious expression finally relaxed a little. “Imperial Elder Sister, I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to let Junyu ascend to the throne.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart fiercely trembled, but her face remained as unmoving as a mountain.

Grand Princess Yi De didn’t feel surprised at all. “It’s good that the Emperor has made his decision. Junyu is a good child. As long as we properly hone his skills, he can pass on the Emperor’s will.”

“Imperial Elder Sister, just as you’ve told me, Junyu’s character is straightforward. He’s not good at playing tricks and plots, and Marquis Wei is loyal to the Imperial family and has never changed in the past few decades. According to his personality, he is not the most suitable successor to the throne, but I have no choice. Junling was not smart but held himself in high regard and only knew how to rely on the Li family. If he is allowed to ascend to the throne, it is impossible to tell whether the Dali dynasty’s surname is Ning or Li. Moreover, he’s vicious and merciless. None of my children will be able to save once he ascends the throne. Junyue, Junyue’s personality is too cold. He has no family or people in his heart, only what he cares about. He can’t be a good Emperor. He is more suited for the suggestion made by Imperial Elder Sister at the beginning to be a sharp blade for decontamination and descaling, helping Junyu break through thorns and stabilize the Dali Dynasty.”

“Since the Emperor has already made his decision, then we will implement it in accordance with this decision. There’s no need to waste any more time and attention.”

“Imperial Elder Sister, I have to get rid of the Li family first!”

“Your majesty, the Li family has a solid foundation. Prime Minister Li is also a veteran of the Dali Dynasty. He has been cautious in doing things these years for fear of being caught by others. To deal with such a veteran, the Emperor must find a suitable reason.It is not advisable to take action forcefully unless it is absolutely necessary. You can convey your meaning to Junyu, which can be regarded as a test for him, the future Emperor. With us here, he can do whatever he wants. Even if he doesn’t succeed in the end, we can still help him finish this off.”

“Imperial Elder Sister is right. I will call Junyu over to have a chat.”

Mu Yunyao stood behind Grand Princess Yi De and looked at the aging Emperor before her, and a sincere admiration rose from her heart. A sincere admiration arose from her heart. “This old man has worked hard for the Dali Dynasty all his life. Even though he is now suffering from illness, he still remembers to choose a suitable successor to help the Dali Dynasty establish a stable future.”

His life is written on paper as a legend, and he was destined to become legendary.

Leaving the Yangxin Residence, Grand Princess Yi De noticed Mu Yunyao’s unusual silence and couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Yao’er, what’s wrong? Were you frightened by what happened today?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head.

“Grandmother, Yue Wang, and I will do our best to help His Royal Highness Yu Wang. When everything has settled, we will accompany you and the Emperor to the South China Sea to play.”

Grand Princess Yi De was startled momentarily and then firmly held her hand, her eyes slightly red. “Good child.”
