Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 482

~DOUBLE STANDARD SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED ~ 

Jin Lan came out to pour some tea. When she saw Xu Yanhan, she hurried over and bowed, “This servant greets Madam. Miss was talking about Madam just now. Please quickly come in.”

“Alright.”

When Xu Yanhan came in, Mu Yunyao was stitching a satchel, “Yao’er, this....” The purse in her hand was blue and embroidered with a simple yet elegant cluster of the orchid pattern. At first glance, it was clearly the style worn by men.

Mu Yunyao didn’t think her mother would come over, so she quickly put down the purse. “Why is Mother here? Come in and sit down quickly.”

Xu Yanhan thought of Eldest Princess Yi De’s words and looked at Mu Yunyao with a smile. “This was made for His Royal Highness Yue Wang?”

Mu Yunyao’s ears turned slightly red, “I saw that His Royal Highness Yue Wang always carried a satchel with origin treasure markings on it, and it was not decent, so I decided to help him make another one. I didn’t have any other intentions.”

Xu Yanhan laughed, “You are such a silly girl. Your intentions are obvious, yet you are hesitating and wasting your time. Don’t you dare regret it in the future.”

“Mother …” Mu Yunyao didn’t know why, but when she mentioned Yue Wang, she subconsciously avoided the past in her heart. “You’ve come so late. Is there anything you need from me?”

“Have you heard about the Su family?”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “I heard from Jin Qiao in the afternoon. I don’t know if it was because the Su family confused by themselves or someone else had interfered. But with this move, the Su family has completely destroyed their luck.”

Xu Yanhan pondered and then said, “I did it.”

Mu Yunyao blinked, a little confused. “What did Mother say?”

“I said...I did the poisoning of Su Jin.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “Mother … Are you serious?”

“Yes. Would Yao’er think Mother is ruthless?” She could do anything for Yunyao, but she didn’t want her to look at her in a different light. She couldn’t care less about what Grand Princess Yi De was thinking, but she couldn’t ignore Mu Yunyao’s point of view.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes were filled with smiles as she leaned toward Xu Yanhan, “Mother, you did the right thing. The Su family is our enemy. It is no exaggeration to treat the enemy ruthlessly, and this time you have really helped us a lot.”

Sensing that Mu Yunyao didn’t mind, Xu Yanhan completely relaxed, “Yao’er, your grandmother is right. Mother must learn to protect you and help you share the burden. That way, you can live a happier life without worries.”

“With Mother here, I’m already so happy.”

“Silly girl.”

Xu Yanhan let go of the burden in her heart and asked the people arranged in the Su family’s residence to do it.

Two days later, the Six Princesses, Huaiyang, directly entered the Palace to plead with the Emperor, hoping that he would be able to pardon the crimes of the Su family.

The Emperor directly chased the Six Princesses out of the Imperial Palace. He made it clear that she could not be allowed to take another step into the Imperial Palace without His Majesty’s orders.

When Mu Yunyao heard this news, she felt dumbfounded, “Are you saying that the Sixth Princess came to the Palace early this morning to plead for mercy on behalf of the Su family?”

Jin Qiao nodded her head: “That’s right. I don’t know what that Sixth Princess is thinking. Even this servant with that kind of brain knows, if I plead for mercy the Su family, it would mean tantamount to concealing the crimes of the Su family in disguise. Wouldn’t she realize that?”

Mu Yunyao stood up and walked directly towards Su Qing’s courtyard. Upon entering, she found that Qu Mama was also there. “Greetings, Mother. Qu Mama is very courteous.”

“Miss has forced me to submit.”

“Why is Yao’er here?”

Qu Mama was not an outsider, so Mu Yunyao did not avoid her. “Mother, this morning, the Sixth Princess entered the Palace to plead for mercy on behalf of the Su family, which angered the Emperor, and directly driven out of the Palace. Do you know about this?”

Xu Yanhan looked at Qu Mama and smiled, “I know. Qu Mama just told me.”

“Mother, this matter couldn’t also have been done by you, right?”

“Actually, it was all thanks to Qu Mama’s assistance from the side. All of the maids and mamas by the side of the Sixth Princess had been bribed. Every day, they would whisper in her ear about the severe consequences of poisoning Su Jin. In addition, Su Qingwu did not accompany her because of busy things. Things easily succeeded, and I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up as she looked at Xu Yanhan. She really wanted to look at her mother in a new light, “The Sixth Princess has been spoiled by the Emperor and only knows how to love all day long, regardless of the ups and downs outside the Palace. I’m afraid she still feels that the Emperor will tolerate her infinitely.”

Xu Yanhan nodded, and with a hint of coldness on her gentle face, she said, “It’s time for the Su family to pay the price.”

Regarding the change in her mother, Mu Yunyao was happy for her mother from the bottom of her heart. Since her mother’s identity had already changed, if her temperament were still the same as before, she would inevitably be calculated by countless people, and her grandmother even will be implicated as a result. As Jin Lan said, instead of being taught and forced to change in the future, it would be better to take the initiative to adapt to it now.

Su Qingwu walked out of the Third Prince’s Palace dejectedly. As soon as he returned to the Su family’s residence, he was called to the study room by Su Wenyuan. Just as she was about to step in, he saw a teacup smashed pieces under his feet with a bang: “Your good wife, she has harmed our Su family badly! Qingwu, is our Su family not chaotic enough? What are you doing? Why don’t you restrain the Sixth Princess?”

Su Qingwu looked at the flustered and exasperated Su Wenyuan and felt a burst of tiredness from the bottom of his heart. “Father, I married the Sixth Princess was to use her to help the Su family escape from trouble. At that time, I already knew that she was impulsive and did things recklessly, but now, don’t you think it’s too late to regret it?”

“You … have you learned how to talk back to your father?”

“Father, at this point, you don’t need to care so much.”

Su Wenyuan gritted his teeth as his heart burned with anger. Ever since he was demoted from a higher position, he had been repeatedly suppressed by his former colleagues in the Imperial Court. Even the people who used to flatter and please him now dare to step on him.

When he returned to the Su family’s residence, the Old Madam was severely ill, his wife was abandoned, and the Second Branch was separated. The Sixth Princess and Zhang Wan also fought each other to make the entire Su family a mess. Now, even the son dared to show him a face.

Su Wenyuan fiercely pounded on the table. Ever since Mu Yunyao had returned to the Su family, there had been no peace in the entire Su family, and it has been reduced to this point in a short time!

“Qingwu, is our Su family truly hopeless?”

Su Qingwu’s expression was dejected, “Father, His Royal Highness Jin Wang is currently busy clearing his suspicions and busy comforting the salt merchants in Jiangnan. HHe’s like a muddlehead crossing a river. He couldn’t protect himself, not to mention promote our Su family…You have been an official in the Daly Dynasty for many years, so you should know what happens at the end of useless chess pieces best.”

“Back then, the Su family supported Jin Wang like that, and it was the silver taels of the Spring Embroidery the only one paid homage to him. Don’t you think that he doesn’t care about our old friendship?”

Su Qingwu let out a mocking laugh. “Father has never spoken to others about affection, but now he wishes for others to remember him for old friendship. How is that possible?”

“What do you mean by that? ? Are you still feeling resentful because of Mu Yunyao’s matter?” Su Wenyuan couldn’t help but glare at him.

Su Qingwu was silent, and the light in his eyes became colder and colder.

“You … You unfilial son! You should be clear about what kind of person Mu Yunyao is. Wasn’t it to protect the Su family that your grandmother and I did that?”

“But in the end, it was precisely because of your ruthless methods that forced the Su family into a desperate situation!”

“Qingwu, do you think Mu Yunyao won’t deal with the Su family if we don’t take action? At this point, I have already understood that she came to our Su family to collect our debt. She wants to see us struggle to our deaths one by one! You’ve seen what happened to your grandmother, and now it’s our turn next!”

Su Qingwu clenched his fist tightly and then murmured in a low voice, “… … If that’s really the case, then that’s our retribution....”

~ NOT HURTING HER LIFE IS ALREADY THE GREATEST KINDNESS ~ 

As soon as these words came out, the Emperor’s expression suddenly became sharp. He lowered his head to look at the imperial report. The clues and evidence clearly indicated the relationship between the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace and this matter. He could not wait any longer and was impatient, so he waved his hand to interrupt Jin Wang’s rebuttal, “Since we have found the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace, then let the Minister of the Ministry of Justice continue his investigation. I have said that this matter must be investigated thoroughly!”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was overjoyed as he replied loudly, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

On the other hand, Jin Wang’s expression suddenly turned ugly. When Mu Yunyao heard the news come from the Palace, her heart was relieved. Once she found out about the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace, things would be much easier. Even if a steward had the guts, he would not dare to interfere in the Ministry of Justice and directly assassinate two influential officials of the imperial government. There must be a master behind him. Even if the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace is loyal and doesn’t give up on Jin Wang, Jin Wang can’t clean it up even if he wants to wash it. Now, all she had to do was wait and see how capable Ling Wang was. Would he thoroughly prove Jin Wang’s crime?

On the other side, Xu Yanhan, who had thought about it for a long time, finally made up her mind. She wanted someone to poison Su Jin’s food. The poison wasn’t fatal, but it would make people vomit blood, and it looked very tragic. After that, they got someone to tell them the reason behind Su Jin’s poisoning. It indicates that the Su family was afraid of Yang Lian’s involvement and wanted to murder Su Jin jointly, pretending that she saw her husband die and wanted to die for him. In this way, even if Su Jin knew something secretly, there was no way to go out and implicate more people.

Su Jin, covered in blood, escaped from the Su family’s residence with the protection of a maid. She was run over directly by an official of Shuntian Manor and brought to the Shuntian Manor’s post.

Shuntian Mansion’s governor Shen Binghuai had just transferred the matter of Yang Lian’s assassination to the Ministry of Justice. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he met Su Jin, who attempted murder by the Su family.

Su Jin’s character was in the same line as the Su family’s Old Madam. When she first married Yang Lian, she fell in love with him. After entering the Yang family, she bound Yang Lian to death step by step.

Yang Lian himself didn’t think there was anything wrong with her. He had even repeatedly rejoiced that he had a virtuous wife to help him make suggestions on many things. Therefore, she knew a lot of inside information about the salt tax deficit in Jiangnan and even knew where the crucial evidence was hidden.

Before coming to the Capital, she didn’t know that the family had been attacked repeatedly, and the forces were far less influential than before. She thought she could be protected by the Su family when she came here.

Who would have thought Yang Lian bribing the chief inspector and changing the officials’ performance examination rating leaked out within a few days? Before they could react, a lightning strike had struck and directly put Yang Lian straight into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

After that, it was even more unexpected. Before any tricks could be used, Yang Lian was killed in prison. Just as she was filled with grief, her maternal family wanted to kill her in order to avoid trouble. Such behavior was tantamount to becoming the last straw that broke her, causing Su Jin to collapse completely.

In order to live, in order to protect her two children, after Su Jin saw Shen Binghuai, she directly pointed out that the Jiangnan salt tax deficit case was related to the prominent figures in the Capital, and she also had crucial physical evidence in her hands.

Shen Binghuai immediately knew that this case was unusual as soon as he heard it. He wanted to ask about it, but Su Jin refused to say anything. She said she did not really want to reveal this matter, but she just wanted to use this matter as a threat. Su Jin expected that today’s matter would definitely be known by everyone. She just wanted to use this kind of method to get Jin Wang to make a move to protect her life. If she couldn’t survive, she would just directly reveal the evidence. At that time, Jin Wang would have to suffer together with her.

Shen Binghuai had no other choice but to report the matter to the Emperor.

These days, things have exploded and have already made the Emperor’s headache. Now that the Su family was in trouble again, the remaining patience he had left was drained completely. “The murder case at the Ministry of Justice has not been resolved yet, so I can’t spare any energy to force Su Jin’s case this time. Since Su Jin has already arrived at Shuntian Manor, then let Shuntian Manor try and handle the case there. Shen Binghuai, you are one of my most trusted subjects. I hope you won’t let me down.”

The Su family had been decaying too quickly, and they had no value in using them again.

Shen Binghuai promptly nodded and respectfully kneeled on the ground to pay his respects. “Your Majesty, please be at ease. This official will not disappoint you and try to clear up the matter as soon as possible.”

After Mu Yunyao heard the news, she could not believe her ears. She asked Jin Qiao once again, “Are you saying that Su Jin was almost killed in the Su family’s residence?”

“Yes, the Su family secretly drugged Su Jin. However, they miscalculated the quantity of the medicine and did not successfully poison her to death. Instead, they let her escape from the Su family.”

“Poisoning Su Jin?” Mu Yunyao frowned, not understanding, “The Su family clearly knows that the slightest movement would cause a huge uproar. They don’t want to comfort Su Jin and instead want to poison her to death. Could it be that the Su family has gone mad?”

Jin Qiao carefully looked at Mu Yunyao’s face, “Miss, perhaps someone else framed the Su family for this matter?”

“Then I would like to praise the good frame-up. I was worried there wasn’t enough evidence, but someone had forced Su Jin out. Si Shu, go to Yue Wang’s Palace and pass on a message to Eunuch Cheng. Please, ask him to send someone secretly to protect Su Jin. She is the most important person right now, and before she hands over the evidence, we must do not let anything happen to her.”

“Yes, Miss.”

At this moment, Xu Yanhan was accompanying Princess Yi De as he said, “Mother, is it inappropriate for me to do this?”

“You’ve done very well. You’re much better than Mother was in the past.”

Xu Yanhan heaved a sigh of relief, “Recently, I’ve heard quite a lot of news, and the most important person is Yang Lian. Actually, I’m not completely sure either. I just think that Su Jin, as Yang Lian’s wife, she should know some things.Thinking of the previous incident, the Su family wanted to kill Yao’er and me in order to conceal the news. And, I felt that it would be reasonable for them to act against Su Jin in order to wash away the suspicion. Therefore, I asked someone to poison Su Jin intentionally and said those words to force her out of the Su family’s residence.”

“En, my daughter is smart, and you’ve done a good job with it. Have you thought about what to do next?”

Xu Yanhan hesitated, “Mother, I have some vague ideas, but....”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. “As Mother and Daughter, You and I do not need to scruple too much. Just say what you have to say.”

“I want to use the Sixth Princess, HuaiYang, but she is....” Sixth Princess, Huaiyang, is the child of the Royal Family and is related to them by blood. Wasn’t that a little too cruel using her directly?”

“Now that you’ve made up your mind to do it, you might as well do it. Huaiyang was stubborn and unrepentant. If she were let to follow the Su family, her fate would definitely be even worse in the future. Besides, when she was going to get married, I tried to persuade her, but she kept saying she didn’t regret it. Since she didn’t regret it, she had to bear the corresponding responsibility. For the sake of blood kinship, not hurting her life, this is already the greatest kindness.”

Xu Yanhan nodded, “Mother, I understand.”

After leaving Grand Princess Yi De’s courtyard, Xu Yanhan slowly walked to Mu Yunyao’s Bishui Pavilion. Seeing the warm candlelight lighting up the room, she felt relieved.

~ CAUGHT THE FOX’S TAIL ~ 

While the Capital’s officials were anxiously waiting for news from Jiangnan, the Ministry of Justice had another incident. Yang Lian and Zou Min, who got imprisoned in the Capital, died overnight.

When the news got out, the Emperor directly threw away the teacup in his hand and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to investigate strictly.

After Mu Yunyao heard the news from Si Shu, she immediately frowned, “Didn’t I remind you to pay attention to Ling Wang before? How did you let people take advantage of the loophole?”

Si Shu replied respectfully, “Eunuch Cheng sent word that His Royal Highness had done it on purpose.”

“Intentionally?” Mu Yunyao was surprised. The Ministry of Justice was Ling Wang’s own territory. He was deliberately causing trouble in his own territory. Wasn’t he afraid that the Emperor would dismiss the Minister of Justice in rage when questioning?

“Yes, originally, Jin Wang only wanted people to destroy Yang Lian’s mouth. But after His Royal Highness found out about this news, he purposely didn’t get anyone to stop him and killed Zou Min concurrently.”

Mu Yunyao gently twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist, and her gaze slowly darkened, “Yang Lian is at the height of the storm. The Emperor is s staring at him very closely, but other than the clues that we intentionally threw away. Yang Lian doesn’t have any intentions of had no intention of confessing. Because he knows that if Jin Wang is safe and sound, it is still possible to rescue him. But if anything happened to Jin Wang, it would be hard for him to escape this calamity. Why did Jin Wang ignore the danger and rush to silence him?”

Si Shu and the others quietly waited at the side, not daring to make a sound to interrupt Mu Yunyao’s train of thoughts.

Mu Yunyao suddenly stopped spinning the bracelet. “Could it be that Jin Wang has already figured out how to rid of the Jiangnan salt tax case, and the only loophole is Yang Lian, who knows about the inside information, so he was anxious to silence people? Assuming my guess is correct, what means would Jin Wang use to get rid of the salt tax case?”

Si Shu tentatively accosted: “Could it be that Jin Wang destroyed all the evidence?”

“Evidence… Evidence…” Mu Yunyao’s face turned pale white. “Jin Lan, go and call Liu Liang over.”

Very quickly, Liu Liang arrived in front of Mu Yunyao. “Greetings, Mistress.”

“Liu Liang, take my letter and my banknotes and immediately rush to Jingling City to find Steward Qin. Have him use Chang He’s ticket number and exchange it for two million taels of silver, and then take the land route to send it to the Capital. If you can see Yue Wang, tell him to be careful of the riverside embankment. The letter I wrote must be handed over to Steward Qin personally, do you understand?”

“Yes, please rest assured, Mistress. Your subordinate will not disappoint you.”

“Good.” Mu Yunyao got up and walked to the back of the desk to write a letter. After writing it, she carefully sealed it with beeswax. After writing three letters in a row, he stopped writing. She then took out the silver notes and handed them to Liu Liang. “Liu Liang, you should pack up now and rush to Jingling City. You must not delay on the road. Thank you for your hard work.

“Your subordinate will go now.”

After Liu Liang left, Jin Lan carefully asked, “Miss, your face is mortified. Is the matter serious?”

“I don’t know if my guess is correct. But with regards to Jin Wang, you should never underestimate him. His methods are cold and cruel to himself, not to mention others.” Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes. “I’ll give it a try. If I’m right, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If I didn’t guess correctly, it would only consume a bit manpower and material resources.”

Jin Lan heard it and was still confused, but seeing the ugly expression on Mu Yunyao’s face, she didn’t dare ask any further questions.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was ordered to investigate what happened in prison. In the end, only two guards who were afraid of committing suicide were caught. Seeing that the closing date set by the Emperor was approaching, so he had no choice but to report the result to the court.

When the Emperor saw this result, he flew into a rage. The Ministry of Justice was the place that paid the most attention to the law and was the most strict. But two court officials were secretly murdered in jail before they could be convicted. It was equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of the Imperial Court.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice came out of the Palace with his back hunched over. After changing his clothes, he hurried to Ling Wang’s Palace.

Ling Wang had long been waiting for the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. When he saw him coming, he asked people to serve tea to appease him, “Master Shao, you don’t have to be so worried. I have already investigated this clearly that the two guards who died did not commit suicide out of fear of their crimes, but rather, they murdered, and the person who killed them was sent by the Jin Palace’s steward.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this, then he fell to the ground in fright and poured some tea all over the floor. “Your Royal Highness, you want me sue His Royal Highness Jin Wang?”

The dispute between the two princes had been going on for a long time. No matter how much a contest was going on in private, on the surface, they always showed the brotherly courtesy that the Emperor liked to see. Even if they tore off their relationship now, it shouldn’t be him, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, stepping out. Isn’t it life-threatening?

“Master Shao, don’t worry. I won’t let you identify Jin Wang. I just want you to report the results of your investigation to Imperial Father, and he will make his own decision.” Ling Wang grinned, and his eyes were full of confidence.

“Your Highness, this … Is this inappropriate?”

“Master Shao was reprimanded by Imperial Father when you entered the Palace, right? The effect of this case is really not good. Master Shao was unable to investigate before the prescribed closing date, and it was due to your incompetent performance as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. In a rage, Imperial Father said that he would not directly remove you from your official position. Can Master Shao accept such a result?”

“If I do as Your Royal Highness says, won’t the Emperor pursue it?”

“If Master Shao does my instructions, I can ensure that Master Shao is safe and sound. Master Shao, you are my right-hand man. For so many years, I have relied on you to support me in order to not be at a disadvantage in the Imperial Court. I always keep your credit in mind. If something happens now, I will try my best to protect you.”

After thinking carefully for a moment, The Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded heavily. “Alright, I will listen to Your Royal Highness’s orders.”

“Alright.”

Two days later, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice wrote the letter once again. The Emperor was similarly furious, but the target was not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Instead, it was Jin Wang who was pointed secretly to in his notes.

Jin Wang was summoned immediately into the Palace. When Zou Min was poisoned to death, he guessed that Ling Wang was trying to use this method to target himself. Although Jin Wang tried his best to erase the evidence, Ling Wang still managed to find some clues in a hurry. He did not know why the Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s letter was so accurate that he even found out about his steward.

“Imperial Father, I really don’t know anything about it. During this time, I have been busy in the Ministry of Industry with the transformation of Qu Plow. I have rarely stepped out of the Palace, so how could I have anything to do with the murder case in the Ministry of Justice’s prison? In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice had always been close to Eldest Imperial Brother. Even if I wanted to interfere, I don’t have this opportunity.”

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice hurriedly replied, “Your Highness, the official identified the steward of your residence. Even if you don’t believe that he has committed a grave mistake, you should at least go back and interrogate him before coming to a conclusion. On the contrary, this hurried rebuttal is a suspicion of hypocrisy. Could it be that you know everything about your steward’s actions?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 479

~ MAKE THINGS BIGGER ~

Yu Heng’s voice came from the outside carriage, “Wang Ye, Young Miss, we’ve arrived at Qinfang Garden.”

Mu Yunyao’s breath tightened before she said with a smile, “Then, I wish Your Royal Highness a safe and smooth journey.”

Yue Wang raised his eyes and suddenly moved closer to Mu Yunyao. He pulled her hand and put a string of turquoise jade beads on her wrist. “Wait for me to come back.”

The jade beads on Mu Yunyao’s wrist were warm, and they seemed to have infected her body temperature, making Mu Yunyao feel slightly hot on her skin. “Well, Your Royal Highness, you must be very careful about everything. Don’t overdo it and force yourself.”

“Alright.”

Standing at the entrance of the Qinfang Garden, Mu Yunyaowatched the carriage leave, and she stood for a long time before turning around. “Let’s go back.”

That night, she slept very restlessly. Before dawn the next day, she woke up early and went to the kitchen to prepare food.

The Grand Princess Yi De looked at the delicate dishes on the table and thought of Yue Wang, who had left early in the morning and couldn’t help but sigh. Every time she saw Yunyao like this, she felt she had committed a crime. If it weren’t for such a complicated matter, she would have blurted it out a long time ago, but now was not the right time.

“Grandmother.” Mu Yunyao brought the last sweet soup over, smiling as she walked to Grand Princess Yi De’s side. “Taste my cooking today.”

“Alright. Why are you so diligent today? Do you want to ask for some rewards from Grandmother?”

“No, I’m just being filial.”

“You, quickly sit down and eat together.”

“Yes.” After breakfast, Mu Yunyao returned to her own courtyard. Leaning against the soft couch for a while, she stayed lazily before suddenly standing up. “Jin Lan, prepare the carriage. I want to go to Ni Yun Fang.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao went to Ni Yun Fang and plunged straight into it in the next few days. Thus, it didn’t take long for the exquisite dresses to be delivered to all the mansions in the city where the dresses were ordered, which forcibly grabbed the limelight of the salt tax deficit case in Jiangnan and set off waves in the Capital.

It was a warm spring day, and many of the ladies and young ladies had gone out for an outing one after another were wearing Ni Yun Fang’s clothes on their bodies. Ni Yun Fang’s clothes accentuated their graceful and elegant bodies, and it was even more seductive than spring. Those who had not ordered the dress and were waiting to see a joke were stupefied.

Because the styles chosen by those ladies in the later stage were repeated, Mu Yunyao had personally modified them herself. Thus, sixty sets of clothes were sold, but none of these sixty sets were identical. Even if they were embroidered with a similar plum blossom design, worn by the madams and misses, it could show a difference.

No matter if they were the matriarchs of the aristocratic families or the lady of the prefectures, as long as they wore the clothes of Ni Yun Fang, no one would say anything malicious about them.

Just as the dresses were delivered, Mu Yunyao didn’t even have time to heave a sigh of relief before she was blocked by the person downstairs who had come to reserve clothes. Before, they didn’t have a reservation. But this time, they would risk their lives to snatch the quota. As for the ones they had booked before, they wanted to buy two more sets. When spring clothes are available, should summer clothes be prepared in advance? In addition, a piece of dress is definitely not enough to replace, and always reserve a few more things to prepare…

Cai Yi held the account book and looked at the profits on it. She smiled and said, “Miss, take a look. Oour Ni Yun Fang has a total profit of nearly one hundred thousand silver taels in such a short time....” If she did not see it with her own eyes, she would not dare to believe her own eyes. It was even faster than robbing money.

“The embroidery ladies worked hard these few days, giving out fifty taels of silver each as a reward. In addition, take out fifty taels of silver for the good ones. I have already said earlier that I would not treat them bad, and I will naturally keep my word.”

“Yes, Miss is very kind.” Cai Yi quickly agreed, “Miss, what about the next batch of orders....”

“I won’t accept it for the time being. During this time, we will prepare summer clothes, and the embroidery of the beauty booklet is too time-consuming, so we need to prepare well. In addition, change the style of the clothes here in the Capital and send them to storefronts in other places. By all means, it’s better to give up on some of the styles of the dresses here in the Capital rather than let others do the same. It’s better not to let others do the same. We can’t make people think that Ni Yun Fang treated its guests and clothes indiscriminately.”

“Yes. Please rest assured, Miss.”

After being busy for a while, Mu Yunyao carefully calculated the time and discovered that only ten days had passed. She did not know what was going on, but she had a nagging feeling that her days were long and hard. She wondered how Yue Wang was doing in Jiangnan.

Mu Yunyao returned to Qinfang Garden to rest for a while. She vaguely dreamed that Yue Wang was looking at her with blood all over his body. She was so frightened that she abruptly sat up straight and woke up. “Fourth Master....”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao heard the commotion and rushed in. “Miss, why are you sweating so much? Are you having a nightmare?”

Mu Yunyao tightened her fingers and discovered that her palm was wet and cold. “I’m fine.”

Jin Lan brought warm water over. Mu Yunyao drank two mouthfuls before feeling slightly better. However, her heart was still unsettled: “Is there any news coming from Bu Xian Luo?”

“There is no useful news for the time being.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and got up to wash up and change her clothes before walking out to the pavilion to relax.

Liu Liang hurried over quickly, “Mistress, there is news from Qi Ming that Ling Wang intends to thoroughly make a big fuss about the deficit in the salt tax in Jiangnan, but he did not explain the details. He only said that Qi Ming would shut down Yi Bao Xuan in several cities such as Linjiang City and Huai’an City for a while and withdraw most of the silver and manpower.”

“Linjiang City, Huai’an City?” Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat. Linjiang City, needless to say, had already become famous because of its close proximity to the river, while Huai’an City’s terrain was low, located to the east of the river. If the river broke the wall, both places would be seriously affected. “Could it be that Ling Wang is paying attention to Linjiang’s attention...”

“Miss, the salt transportation envoy in Linjiang City has mysteriously died. Your highness Yue Wang should be staying in Linjiang City for a period of time.”

Mu Yunyao’s expression suddenly changed. “Notify Bu Xian Luo and have them send a message to His Royal Highness Yue Wang as soon as possible, and have him …” She said, her tone choked suddenly. She wanted to ask Yue Wang to change his route and not go near Linjiang City. But knowing that someone would do something to Linjiang City, would Yue Wang ignore so many people?

“Mistress…”

“Send a message to His Royal Highness, tell him to be careful. Ling Wang might blow up the riverbank of Linjiang City. If you can, it would be the best idea to mobilize the troops stationed in both places to handle the riverbank... Hurry up and go.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

When the news spread out, there wasn’t the slightest response. Mu Yunyao had even questioned Grand Princess Yi De twice but still hadn’t received any reports.

Eunuch Cheng had already secretly deployed people to search for Yue Wang, but the Capital was far away from Jiangnan. Even if they rode fast horses to communicate, he doesn’t know how long it would take to get there. He is simply in a hurry.

After entering for three months, the Capital was filled with anxiety. All the people in the Imperial Court were waiting for Yue Wang to investigate the salt tax in Jiangnan, but the news had yet to arrive.

Within Jin Wang’s palace, the steward handed a letter to Jin Wang, “Your Royal Highness, arrangements have been made for Jiangnan.”

“Alright, since Yue Wang wants to make things bigger and plot against me, I’ll help him. Are you sure Yue Wang is trapped in Linjiang City?”

“Yes, the information is accurate.”

“Yes, give the order to move and do it. Also, Yang Lian needs to be disposed now.”

“Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness. This servant will handle this matter.”

~ GOT CAUGHT ~ 

Many of the officials in the Imperial Palace came and went with excitement on their faces.

Qi Ming was proclaimed, “Greetings, Your Royal Highness Ling Wang.”

“I remember that Yi Bao Xuan has a store in Jiangnan as well.”

Qi Ming nodded, “Reporting to Your Royal Highness, there is a storefront. May I know what Your Highness has requested of me?”

“Yi Bao Xuan originated from Jiangnan. How’s its influence in Jiangnan?”

“When Yi Bao Xuan was established, His Royal Highness Jin Wang said that he could step on Ni Yun Fang to climb up, so wherever there is Ni Yun Fang, there must be Yi Bao Xuan. Although the reputation cannot be compared with Ni Yun Fang, the influence is not bad.”

A bright light flashed in Ling Wang’s eyes. He was confused and thought that he had actually picked up a treasure. “Alright, use Yi Bao Xuan’s manpower to spread the news that there is a problem with the Jiangnan salt tax and strive to spread it all over Jiangnan.”

Qi Ming was a little surprised: “Is there a problem with salt tax in Jiangnan?”

Ling Wang nodded, “There’s no harm in telling you now. Yang Lian has already told me that the Jiangnan salt tax revenue is very poor. The deficit in Jiangnan salt tax revenue is serious, and the total should be several million silver taels.”

“Several million silver taels? This silver isn’t a small number. After checking the salt tax some time ago, a group of evil salt merchants was found. In just a short time, another problem occurred, and these people’s courage is a bit too great. The Emperor will be furious when he hears this news.

“Last time, I was calculated by Jin Wang and suffered a huge loss due to the salt tax. This time, I want to make sure Jin Wang returns the favor. “You should hurry up and do it.”

“Yes.”

Shortly after Ling Wang’s orders ended, Mu Yunyao received the news.

Liu Liang stood on one side: “Misstres, do you need Qi Ming to do something secretly?”

“No need. Whatever orders Ling Wang has to give, all of us will follow. Since we have decided to let Ling Wang and Jin Wang fight, we will not interfere so easily. After so many years of rivalry between Ling Wang and Jin Wang, none managed to get many advantages. Many of which were mediated by the Emperor. If we were to intervene rashly, it would easily arouse the Emperor’s attention. Let them fight amongst themselves. Ling Wang will definitely not give up in such a good situation.”

“Yes.”

In just a few days, the news of the problem with the Jiangnan salt tax had spread like wildfire. After the Emperor heard about it, he was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. But, no one expected the Emperor to hand over the task to Yue Wang.

After Mu Yunyao heard the news, she was stunned for a moment before tightly furrowing her brows.

Jin Lan was slightly worried. “Miss, are you alright?”

“It’s okay. It’s just a bit of an accident. Where is Grandmother now?”

“The Grand Princess and Madam are admiring the flowers at Liufang Garden. You planted a few new camellias flowers a few days ago, and the Grand Princess is very fond of them. She goes to Liufang Garden to admire them every day. Would Miss like to take a look as well?”
Mu Yunyao stood up and walked two steps before suddenly shaking her head. “No need. I think we’ve already made most of the custom-made clothes in Ni Yun Fang, right?”

“Yes, we have enough manpower, so the speed of making clothes is a bit faster.”

“Let’s go to Ni Yun Fang to take a look and make these dresses as soon as possible. The weather is getting hotter this year, and it won’t be long before people start wearing spring dresses.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao arrived at Ni Yun Fang. With her help, they could finish the clothes faster and faster. As she got busy, she forgot about her worries. When Jin Lan reminded her, she realized that the sky had already darkened. “Miss, the Grand Princess, and Madam have sent people to ask if you can return to Qinfang Garden as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her shoulders and wrists. After washing her hands, she headed downstairs.
At the entrance of Ni Yun Fang, a carriage was quietly parked. When Mu Yunyao came down, the carriage’s curtain was slightly opened, revealing the handsome face of Yue Wang. “Yunyao.”

“Your Royal Highness Yue Wang…”

“I’ll take you back.”


Mu Yunyao was stunned. She looked around before nodding and replying, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

After getting on the carriage, Mu Yunyao looked at the Yue Wang but hesitated to speak.

Yue Wang took the lead and spoke: “You should have heard about it already. Imperial Father has assigned me to go to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tax case. Tomorrow morning, I will set out on my journey to Jiangnan.”

“So fast?”

“This is an urgent matter. There have been rumors spread over Jiangnan, and the consequences are dire, so we can only set out as soon as possible.” Seeing Mu Yunyao’s serious expression, Wang Yue couldn’t help but chuckle. “No need to worry so much. It’s not for nothing that I had spent so much time and effort in Jiangnan. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and quickly, then return to the Capital. ”

“Of course, I’m not worried about Your Royal Highness’s ability. It’s just that … The Jiangnan Salt Merchants were deeply rooted in their roots. Last time, e took advantage of the time, place, and people, so our plan succeeded. The rumors spread ahead of time this time, and the Salt Merchants were prepared. I am afraid that things will change drastically.”

“With you behind me, I can’t bear to let anything happen to me.” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, and his eyes seemed to wish for nothing more than to turn into a river of gentle water.

Mu Yunyao’s ears turned slightly red. She was anxious and angry in her heart, “I’m not joking. Your Royal Highness must be extra careful in this business.”

“Well, I know. Did Yao’er have a way to earn silver taels this time? The Salt Merchant in Jiangnan pits for nothing. ”

Hearing Yue Wang’s words, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but find it funny. “Your Royal Highness thinks of me as a gold rake for silver? Jiangnan Salt Merchants are not stupid either. How can they let us do all the calculations? But if we want to squeeze out silver from them, there’s a way to do it.”

“Dump silver?”

“Extracting money from them is never as exciting and thorough as directly raiding the house. Your Royal Highness’s temperament has always been an upright and cold person. This time, the reason the Emperor sent you to Jiangnan may have been due to this reason.”

Yue Wang slightly narrowed his eyes. “That’s reasonable. I like this errand. Yao’er, you can just quietly wait in the Capital for your good news.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and suddenly laughed, “I once heard a scholar tell a joke, saying that he plundered the home of a greedy official and copied out five hundred thousand silver taels. As a result, the official in charge of raiding the house drew thirty percent, the person in charge of handling affairs below drew twenty percent, and the official who raided stole and hid 10%. The rest of the money will be taken care of, and only 90,000 silver will be given to the Emperor in the end … The Emperor then took a look and saw that the corruption was not too much, which lightened the responsibility of the officials by quite a bit...”

“Yao’er, don’t worry. If you want to be greedy, I will have to be greedy myself. I definitely won’t let anyone else take advantage of me.”

“Your Highness’s words are really righteous and confident.”

“After following Yao’er for a long time, it is inevitable that the closer I get to her.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and glared at him. “I can’t help Your Royal Highness with anything else, but I can lend a few of my people. I received a letter from Lady Ding a while ago, and she wrote that a group of good accounting experts had collected in Ni Yun Fang. If Your Royal Highness needs them, you can immediately go to Ni Yun Fang and ask for them.”

“Well, Yao’er has thought it through thoroughly.”

~ WHEN THE CURTAIN IS LIFTED, JUST JUMP INTO THE PIT ~

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes slightly. The gentle and refined aura on his face was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced with fierce and unpleasant anger, “You can go back first. I will figure something out.”

Yang Lian was still a little worried. “Your Royal Highness, the evidence that this humble subject bribed the chief inspector of examination soon will be sent to the Emperor. This matter cannot be delayed, so I beg Your Royal Highness to think of a way to save this humble subject’s life as soon as possible.”

Jin Wang nodded, “Don’t worry. Thanks to your efforts in Jiangnan, you’ve given me great support. I will always remember this contribution, and I naturally won’t ignore your suffering.”

Yang Lian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Yes, then this humble subject will go back and wait for the news. Thank you for your troubles, Your Royal Highness.”

“Yes.”

After Yang Lian left, Jin Wang called in his trusted aide, “Yang Lian cannot be left alive. Let’s someone do it.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

During the latter half of the night, a candle flame suddenly lit up in the living room of Yue Wang’s Palace. Yue Wang put on his clothes and looked towards Yu Heng, who with reeking of blood on his body, “Jin Wang has really made his move?”

“Yes, Jin Wang’s men wanted to kill Yang Lian to silence him. However, I have already rescued him according to Master’s orders.”

“Well, looks like Jin Wang has really started to panic. Have the people from Shuntian Manor rushed over?”

“Shuntian Governor, Shen Binghuai, was already on his way with an official to investigate the scene and the assassins’ identity.”

“That’s good. Shen Binghuai’s character is honest and upright. Once he interferes, the matter will be easy to handle. According to the plan, we will get someone to deliver the evidence to Imperial Father tomorrow morning and send people to protect Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo so that Jin Wang won’t have any other ideas.”

“Yes.”

The next day, before Mu Yunyao had time to get up and freshen up, Jin Qiao had already hurriedly walked in and delivered Liu Liang’s letter to Mu Yunyao’s side. “Miss, this was delivered by Liu Liang early in the morning.”

Mu Yunyao was sitting in front of a dressing table with her hair spread out. When she saw the contents of the letter, she couldn’t help but smile. “Jin Wang wants to kill Yang Lian to silence him. It seems like my guess is right. The silver taels in his hands are indeed from Jiangnan.”

The Su family was no longer in trouble. She had already secretly found a way to deal with Jin Wang, but who knew that someone would send her a pillow right after she fell asleep. If she were to bring this matter to light, even if Jin Wang did not dies, he would at least lose a layer of skin.

“Miss, the Su family was in an uproar last night. I heard that an assassin had entered the Su family’s residence to assassinate Lord Yang, even dragging the Eldest Young Master of the Su family, and he was stabbed in the arm by a thief. Fortunately, Lord Shen from the Shuntian Manor arrived to calm the disturbance in time, but those assassins killed themselves after they were caught, so they couldn’t get any helpful leads.”

Mu Yunyao’s lips smiled more intensely, “The Su family is never peaceful. Have someone to remind the Su family’s Second Madam and Su You behind closed doors during this time. Don’t ask about anything else.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After freshening up and changing clothes, Mu Yunyao went to accompany her mother to eat.

As he entered the room, he saw Xu Yanhan’s absent-minded appearance, “Mother, what’s going on?”

“Hmm? Yao’er has arrived. The breakfast is already prepared, and there’s a fresh white sugar cake. Quickly come and try it. ”

“Mother, are you alright? Why do you look so preoccupied?”

“I’m fine. What can I do? I drank too much tea yesterday and didn’t get a good night’s rest, so I’m not in a good mood and a little out of my mind. Don’t worry. If there is something wrong with Mother, I’ll definitely tell you.”

After Mu Yunyao accompanied her to eat breakfast, she was driven directly back to her own courtyard.

Afterward, Xu Yanhan called over Qu Mama, her face full of worry. Qu Mama, I’ll let you serve on my side for the sake of helping me and reminding me at any time because I really don’t know what to do now.”

Qu Mama’s face was smiling. “Madam, Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess asked you to deal with the Su family in order to exercise your skills, but she did not say that she would not allow you to ask her for advice. Her Highness Grand Princess is your backer, and no matter what happens, you can always go to ask for her advice. The most important thing in the Capital is origin and reliance. It is convenient to do things from a high vantage point. What do you think?”

“Alright, I understand.”

Seeing Xu Yanhan come over, Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but laugh: “I was still thinking about when you would come over and ask me. But, I didn’t expect you to be able to hold on until now. You let people break off the Su family’s Old Madam’s hands. You did a good job. In the future, Lady Sun will no longer slander Yao’er.”

Xu Yanhan didn’t know how she said it, but when she heard that Old Madam’s gesture said Yao’er who had harmed her, Xu Yanhan was so angry that she immediately issued this order, and she didn’t expect that within two hours, the Old Madam’s arms were broken.

“Mother, as a woman, I am able to take action against the Old Madam of the Su family and some of the young ladies in the harem. But, Su Wenyuan is an official of the Imperial Court, and I really don’t know what to do.”

“Yanhan, do you know why there are so many concubines in the Imperial Harem?”

Xu Yanhan was taken aback, “The Emperor is the ruler of a country. He’ll choose a few beauties to accompany him and spread branches for the royal family....” After saying that, she suddenly paused.

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled and said, “You thought of it? If it’s as you said, Imperial Concubines are meant only to accompany the Emperor and provide children for the royal family. But if like that, the Emperor’s children will not only be so few. Within the imperial harem, a person who could be selected, who can be placed in high positions, who can give birth to children, who can be favored... are all traceable. Every move is closely related to the previous dynasty.”

Xu Yanhan opened her mouth and was extremely shocked in her heart, “Hearing mother say this, I feel like the Emperor has no other choice and is helpless.”

“Haha, if the Emperor could do whatever he wanted, the Imperial Court would have already been thrown into chaos.” Grand Princess Yi De smiled, “If you can control the harem of the Su family well, Su Wenyuan and the others won’t need to be worried at all. The harem of the house alone is enough to strangle a person to death.”

Xu Yanhan nodded thoughtfully, “I understand a little bit now.”

“Take your time. Mother will keep an eye on you.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao was driven back to the courtyard by her mother, so she simply lay on the soft couch and waited lazily for the news.

It didn’t take long for Liu Liang to rush over: “Mistress, Yang Lian has already been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. A letter was sent by Qi Ming, saying that Ling Wang is currently gathering his men in an attempt to frame Yang Lian for a greater crime.”

“The prison of Ministry of Justice … Let Qi Ming secretly mention Ling Wang and ask him to pay more attention. Don’t let Yang Lian be silenced during this time in prison. In addition, get Qi Ming quietly disclosed the news of the improper origin of Jin Wang’s silver to Ling Wang. Be careful not to make it too obvious. Just mention one or two sentences slightly, and as for the rest, let Ling Wang find out for himself. Only what he investigated by himself would make him believe.”

“Yes, your subordinate will go now.”

Three days later, Yang Lian was put on trial, and Ling Wang interrogated him. He discovered something amiss with the salt tax in Jiangnan, and the few clues pointed directly at Jin Wang.

~ FIND A BREAKTHROUGH ~ 

Yue Wang raised his eyes: “Second Imperial Brother, I don’t want to lie to you.”

Yu Wang frowned, “Fourth Imperial Brother, there are thousands of women in this world. There will always be ones that suit you better than Yunyao. You listen to Second Imperial Brother’s advice and break off contact with Mu Yunyao.”

Yue Wang shook his head: “Second Imperial Brother, it’s already too late.”

Yu Wang opened his mouth in surprise and looked shocked in his eyes. “What is it late? Could it be that you’ve already…”

Yue Wang hurriedly shook his head: “Where did Second Imperial Brother think of? Yunyao and I are affectionate and polite, and there is nothing to violate the rules.”

Yu Wang heaved a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death. Then, why do you say it’s already too late?” He had just thought that his Fourth Imperial Brother had been hanged and beaten by the Grand Princess Ye Di if they had already done it.

“Some things that, once you place it in your heart, will firmly take root and sprout, can no longer be cleaned up again.” Furthermore, he did not plan to clean up this feeling.

“But there’s Imperial Father....”

“Don’t worry, Second Imperial Brother. I will think of a way to deal with it. Also, you came here at the right time. A few days ago, I heard some rumors about the Grand Commandant Zou Min, who is responsible for assessing the official’s examination. It said that he secretly received quite a few bribes. Can Second Imperial Brotherhave the idea to deal with this person?”

“Zou Min?” Yu Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, “Before, he was old enemies with the Min family, and later, he repeatedly targeted my future father-in-law, Lord Min. Now, he finally revealed his foxtail. Fourth Imperial Brother, is this news true?”

“It’s true.”

Yu Wang revealed a sneer, “Fourth Imperial Brother, leave this matter to me. I will definitely make that crafty old fellow Zou Min suffer. The official examination is something that Imperial Father values the most. He dares to tamper with this matter, so he must be tired of living.”

“The matter was exposed by an expatriate imperial official. However, this person’s paper was intercepted before it entered the Capital. Fortunately, my man met and rescued the person who delivered the paper and then found about the news. Second Imperial Brother, you should be more careful in doing things to prevent Zou Min from biting back.”

“Yes. Don’t worry, Fourth Imperial Brother. I know what to do.” After Yu Wang finished rejoicing, his expression suddenly stiffened, “Didn’t I just talk about you and Yunyao? How come you bring up Zou Min?”

“Second Imperial Brother, you understand my temperament. The things that I decide will not be changed.”

Yu Wang wanted to continue persuading him, but when he opened his mouth and saw Yue Wang’s resolute expression, he swallowed the words on his lips: “When you were in the Cold Palace, I would often climb over the wall to see you. At that time, you were thin and small, but your temper was even more enormous than mine, and it took you nearly half a year to speak to me. From then on, I knew that your temperament was simply too stubborn. When you left the Cold Palace and were assigned to Western Guangdong, I thought you would sharpen your character, become more flexible, and speak softly to Imperial Father. But I didn’t expect you would stay in Western Guangdong for such a long time … Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you anymore. For Imperial Father, you should think of a solution as soon as possible. I won’t mention it. First and Third Imperial Brother will also make a fuss about it.”

“Yes, thank you for your reminder, Second Imperial Brother .”

“Okay, in fact, putting aside the blood relationship, you and Yunyao are extremely compatible. However, you’re still lacking compared to Fanghua and me.”

“Second Imperial Brother only dares to say these words in front of me. But, when you come to Miss Min’s place, you don’t even dare to breathe loudly.”

Yu Wang almost jumped up. “Who said that? I am just afraid of making her angry. If I hadn’t been worried about this, I wouldn’t have wronged myself so much. However, I won’t be afraid when your second sister-in-law passes the door. Once she marries the royal family, there will be no chance for her to go back on her words. When that time comes...Humph...”

Yue Wang looked at Yu Wang with envy in his heart. When could he treat Yunyao so openly and honestly?

In mid-February, as the weather grew hotter, the Imperial Court turned into a pot of boiling water over the corruption case of Grand Commandant Zou Min.

In ordinary times, when an official had been corrupted, he would not cause such a commotion even if he was a first-rank official. However, Zou Min’s timing for corruption and accepting bribes was too ingenious. It precisely was when he was the chief inspector of officials’ performance examination. As a result, who knew how many officials trembled in fear of falling into this muddy water.

Before Zou Min could move around, he was sent straight to the prison by Yu Wang’s lightning-fast methods. Within a short time, Yu Wang had gathered all of the officials reporting Zou Min’s corruption, found out who had intercepted the report, and dragged them and the evidence directly to the Golden Hall.

After the Emperor heard the causes and consequences of the incident, he became exceptionally furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. The officials found hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Zou Min’s mansion. In addition, he also discovered all kinds of rare and precious antiques, jade beads, and accessories. It is said that Zou Min’s methods of hiding silver were incredibly hidden, and he hid all the silver and precious things in his concubine’s courtyard. If the official wasn’t searched meticulously, he would have really missed it.

As soon as the case was announced, the Imperial Court became particularly lively. Before the officials could react, the imperial censor under Ling Wang took the lead to investigate Yang Lian, the envoy of Liangjiang City. The Emperor was furious after hearing about the thunderstorm, and all the officials involved in the officials’ performance examination were classified as B grade. Although it was shocking, it was not to the point of appalling. According to the rumors, Yang Lian’s political performance was an upper-tier one, and it could even be said that his political performance was quite impressive. If his performance examination was obtained through bribery, this political performance examination would be a complete joke.

When Yang Lian heard the news, he couldn’t think much. Taking advantage of the dark night, he directly went to Jin Wang’s Palace. He kept a low profile and tried his best to hide from people’s eyes, but he did not know that his actions were being observed by people outside the house.

Hearing that Yang Lian had come to visit, Jin Wang’s face darkened, “Let him in.”

Upon entering, Yang Lian immediately knelt on the ground, “Your Royal Highness, you must save me.”

“Didn’t you say that nothing would go wrong and foolproof? Hadn’t you already taken care of everything and made preparations? Why is there still someone who has a clue about you?”

Yang Lian looked troubled. “Since Zou Min accepted the gift, this lower official has to leave a guarantee. Otherwise, if Zou Min goes back on his word, wouldn’t the silver be spent in vain?”

“You … Even if you want to leave a proof, you should at least keep it properly. How did it end up in someone else’s hands?”

“I also didn’t expect that the personal servant who has followed me for so many years would have thoughts of betraying me.” Yang Lian’s expression was terrified,” Your Royal Highness, the evidence has already been taken away, so this humble subject can only come to you to seek help. If you really don’t care about me, I really no way out. The salt tax policy’s silver will start shipping to the Capital soon. At this time....”

Jin Wang’s gaze turned sharp, “Are you threatening me?” 

“This humble subject didn’t dare. This humble subject was also coerced by the salt merchants. Who would have thought they would use the salt tax policy’s silver to bribe you? Furthermore, they had me present the salt tax policy’s silver to you, and spending the silver is equivalent to tying up with the salt merchants. This broken ship with a leaking bottom is about to set sail now. If we don’t make up for the loophole as soon as possible, we will all die in the river.”

Incurable Chapter 43 Part 2

After the filming was finished, Mu Wan left the photography base, and as soon as she walked out of the photography base, he saw Mei Yaozhi standing in front of the bright yellow Maserati, smiling so big that her eyes were crescents.

“Mu Wan, Grandma asked me to take you to dinner.”

At the entrance of the photography base, there are more or fewer actors and directors, and some of them had turned pale, apparently recognizing Mei Yaozhi’s babyface.

Mu Wan walked over, glanced at his car, and said with a smile, “You are too high-profile.”

Mei Yaozhi opened the car door and said, “It’s all right. I’m here to brush my face today, and before Qianxiu left, he asked me to take care of you.”

Although the two looked familiar, there was still some air in them. The people around were talking behind her back, but Mu Wan didn’t bother to think about it and got into Mei Yaozhi’s car.

When it came to Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan twitched her mouth. Then, she got in the car, pulled her seat belt, and said, “Don’t say like that. It’s looked like his last word.”

Mei Yaozhi laughed and said, “What a last word? It’s just because Qianxiu isn’t here, so I’ll take care of you.”

“But, he will be here tonight.” Mu Wan replied.

Mei Yaozhi has been in the joy field all year round, is not a cold person, and is even a little chatty. Although Mu Wan is a supporting actress, she is also regarded as a person in the entertainment industry, so they still have a topic to talk about.

“Speaking of which, it seems this is not the first time I have seen you.” Mei Yaozhi asked.

“I met you at a yacht party, but can you recognize me?” Mu Wan was a little surprised.

Mei Yaozhi drove the car and said, “There are too many people, so I did not recognize all of them. But I always have some impression of beautiful ones.”

“Yes, you just like me. There are too many people, and I only have an impression of the rich.” Mu Wan replied.

Mei Yaozhi laughed again. Mu Wan speaks very flexibly, giving people the feeling of a very spiritual person with her own thoughts. No wonder Liu Qianxiu likes her.

After within an hour, the two arrived at the Mei family. Coming to the Mei family’s house again, even without Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan didn’t feel any discomfort. It’s not that she can adapt much, but that the Mei family treats her very well, with a natural affinity that makes her very comfortable.

After eating, the Old Madam Mei organized a mahjong game again. The whole family gathered together and began to play mahjong again.

The Old Madam glanced at the sitting clock at home and asked while touching the cards, “Qianxiu should be there soon, right?”

In fact, Mu Wan had already figured out that the time was up, and she was a little anxious when she touched the cards. After listening to the Old Madam Mei’s question, Mu Wan stabilized herself and said, “It’s almost the time.”

While speaking, Mei Yaozhi put the card. and Mu Wan pushed, “Win.”

The Old Madam laughed. Looking at Mei Yaozhi’s stunned expression, she smiled and said, “I don’t have to say about Mi Wan’s luck.”

Mu Wan laughed and touched the card while saying, “Of course, I am. Otherwise, how can I meet Qianxiu.”

The little girl is beautiful, sweet-mouthed, good-natured, generous, and steady, so the Old Madam like her even more in her heart. While Mu Wan was talking, her mobile phone vibrated. Her eyes moved to look at it, took the mobile phone, and the blood in her heart rushed to her whole body in a flash.

“It’s Qianxiu’s phone number.”

“This Qianxiu, now he don’t even call Grandmother first.” Mother Mei joked with a smile.

“In the future, she will stay with him for a long time, so there is nothing to distinguish.” The Old Madam Mei said kindly, “You can pick it up now and tell him to call us later.”

Mu Wan was not polite either. After nodding in response, she got up and left.

She was standing in the corridor outside the living room of the Mei family’s house. The windows in the hall were wide open, the starry sky flickered outside, and a full moon hung high. Mu Wan answered the phone, put her hand on the window sill, and asked with a smile, “Hey, are you arrived?”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu was far away from her, and his voice seemed to be farther away, as if coming from the moon, with a sense of loneliness. After he answered, he asked, “What are you doing?”

“I am at the Mei family’s house. I just ate and played mahjong for a while.” Mu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Have you just arrived and haven’t rested yet?”

“Well, I will go to rest after I calling you.” Liu Qian said.

After speaking, both ends of the phone were silent, and the other party seemed to have nothing to say.

Some hot wind blew in from the window, blowing her hair to her cheeks, scratching her itchy a little bit. Mu Wan opened her mouth first, stomped her feet, and said, “As soon as you left, time passed slowly. For more than twenty hours, I was tortured to death.”

What she said was not very important, and after she finished speaking, she laughed. While she was grinning, Liu Qianxiu said something.

“I miss you.”

Her heart seemed to be filled with love and then sealed again. Mu Wan could see and imagine how sweet love was, but she couldn’t taste it. She licked her lips and looked down at the toes, and said, “I miss you too, but it’s useless to think about it through the phone line. I just want to touch you, hug you, and be with you.”

A long-distance relationship is really hard, and it will take two weeks.

“It won’t be anymore.” Liu Qianxiu assured.

Mu Wan smiled again, and she said, “Then you should be busy with your affairs, and we will be together when you are done. I can’t help you, and the only thing I can do is let you not be distracted. But as soon as I answered your call, I felt melancholy, and I forgot to say something comforting. Fuck, I won’t say those things. I just want you to come back soon.”

“Yeah.” Liu Qian said, “You can say whatever you want and have fun.”

“I will try my best to have a good time, and you should come back soon from your busy work.” After Mu Wan finished speaking, she urged, “You call Grandma and the others after this, then you go to rest.”

After more than 20 hours of flying, he should also be quite tired.

“Okay, I love you.” Liu Qianxiu said.

The three words came out of his mouth as plainly as ‘what do you want to eat today.’ Mu Wan was stunned, and her heart, which had just been silent, became noisy again and again. Mu Wan kicked the floor, and her voice was a little squeamish.

“You’re such a man. It’s making me feel worse.”

She heard Liu Qianxiu’s chuckle.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wan’s numb body became alive again. Although the phone call can’t solve the lovesickness, it can prolong her life. At least now, Mu Wan is not as miserable as before.

The dark car windows closed tightly, driving in a smooth and bright straight line on the streets of a foreign country. Inside the car, Liu Qianxiu hung up and frowned.

Cai Qingliang sat next to him, looked at him, and said, “Why don’t you take a break before going to the headquarters.”

“No beed.” Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes, looked out the car window with a cold expression, and said, “I want to finish it early because I want to go back soon.”

Cai Qingliang didn’t speak anymore.

The car finally stopped in front of a modern-style building. Just before getting off, bodyguards in black suits got off the front and rear cars and gathered around the black car in the middle.

The bodyguard looked alert, and after confirming his surroundings, they opened the door.

A man in a suit got out of the car. He stood up straight and had a tall and thin figure. His attire was tailored to fit the body, showing off the man’s noble and elite aura.

His complexion is still light, but his eyes are sharp, and his facial features are also portrayed more profoundly.

“Mr. Liu.” The members of the Liu family were already waiting outside with respectful expressions.

Liu Qianxiu nodded slightly, walked out, and entered the door with everyone following him and rushing in.

The author has something to say: Patriarch of the Liu family is online.

Incurable Chapter 43 Part 1

Time passed quickly, and the day of separation was reached in the blink of an eye. Mu Wan finished filming today’s scene early and took a taxi to Tang’er Hospital. The hospital work is complicated and crucial, so it took Liu Qianxiu a few days to complete the handover. After picking up Liu Qianxiu, the two returned home together.

The three little ones in the family were hungry and waiting to feed. Mu Wan went to feed them. After feeding, she went to the bedroom. Liu Qianxiu was packing his luggage, and Mu Wan sat on his hard bed, watching him tidy up.

Liu Qianxiu’s bedroom was decorated the same way as the living room. There is nothing else except a sandalwood bed, a desk, and a wooden chair. Everything in the bedroom is made of sandalwood, and faint sandalwood incense wafts in the bedroom, making the thin man even more immortal.

He didn’t have much luggage, so he sorted out a few books and documents. Mu Wan looked at the empty suitcase and asked, “That’s it?”

Liu Qianxiu nodded, sat next to Mu Wan, and said, “Just bring all the documents, and other things are available in Austria.”

When they went to visit Qingyuan Temple, there was not much either. He could take care of himself, so Mu Wan didn’t take much care and climbed onto him.

She likes to be held by him like this now. She is lying in his arms, then he lowers his head and kisses her hair. After the two are together, there is no shortage of lingering moments. If they suddenly separated, Mu Wan didn’t know if she could overcome it.

“I don’t feel much now.” Mu Wan said. After all, they will separate for two weeks. But she can still hold Liu Qianxiu now without any pain caused by a long-distance relationship.

Outsiders will think that the two are separated for a long time. But in fact, they simply separated for two weeks, which is too hypocritical. The two people who are deeply in love, like stuck in melted chocolate syrup, suddenly separate, making them feel uncomfortable and longing.

Holding her well, Liu Qianxiu said, “That’s good. Lovesickness is quite bitter.”

Mu Wan laughed and asked Liu Qianxiu, “What time is it now?”

“Three o’clock.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Counting the time, there were still three hours before Liu Qianxiu left. There is plenty of time, so it is better to have fun. Mu Wan raised her head and kissed his lips, making Liu Qianxiu ’s body tremble slightly. He understood her meaning and pressed her under him.

“I don’t want to use condoms this time.” Mu Wan said while hugging Liu Qianxiu.

Liu Qianxiu’s eyes were slightly tight, and his brows slightly frowned.

“Being pregnant is also a bargain for me. I am pregnant with the child of the Liu family’s head.” After Mu Wan finished speaking, she looked straight at Liu Qianxiu, provoked him, and said, “If you dare not give it to me, it means you will not come back safely this time. If you do it, it gives me a sense of security.”

Her thoughts always have their own inherent logic, but this logic, in the eyes of outsiders, is a bit crazy.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her deeply, she looked back at him stubbornly, and finally, he lowered his head and kissed her ear, amidst the shaking of her body, softly agreed.

“Okay.”

The Liu family has a private jet, and after going to the airport, they took a particular passage. Mu Wan sent Liu Qianxiu away. At the moment the plane took off, her lovesickness began.

With the roar of the plane, Mu Wan’s heart throbbed, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Without Liu Qianxiu, it’s better not to go home. But when she thinks about it, the pain becomes even more severe.

It was six o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun had not yet set in the evening. Mu Wan didn’t want to go home, so she called Lin Wei.

The two hadn’t made an appointment to have dinner together for a long time. Lin Wei had just returned from a client and chatted about today’s incredible client while picking up vegetables. Mu Wan ate for a while, then stopped eating and drank a mouthful of soda.

Lin Wei took a sip of the gravy, looked up at her, put a chopstick in the meat, and said, “Liu Daochang is gone, and did he take your soul away too?”

Mu Wan was not in the mood to eat, clamped her chopsticks twice. After dipping the meat in the oiled dish, she reluctantly put it in her mouth and took another mouthful of soda. She said, “So what? I will keep his soul behind too.”

Lin Wei shivered and said, “You are getting more and more numb recently.”

At this moment, Mu Wan laughed, looked at her, and said, “Love is like this.”

Seeing her laughing, Lin Wei also laughed. She bit her chopsticks, shook her head, and said, “I don’t know what love is. I had a previous relationship, but I didn’t have same feeling like you. When I got together with my first boyfriend, it was a hormonal collision. Later, when he cheated, I felt heartache. However, I don’t know if it was the heartache that he turned his heart away or the heartache that I couldn’t be better than that mistress. Since my love does not have the long-term satisfaction of both sides, so I might as well just pursue the body.”

Lin Wei was a little drunk, so she talked a lot of nonsense and finally summed it up, saying, “It is not easy for you and Liu Daochang to get along, so you have to be good.”

“That’s right.” Mu Wan nodded, “I want to give him a baby.”

At this time, Lin Wei realized that something was wrong. She looked at the soda bottle in Mu Wan’s hand and said, “I said before, why don’t you drink today? So you two have already started to get pregnant.”

“We just do it once without protection, but I don’t know if hit it or not.” Mu Wan said. It was done before he left today.

Mu Wan said casually, but Lin Wei sat up straight and took it seriously. After a moment’s seriousness, she realized that she didn’t know how to treat pregnant women and finally said, “You can sleep at my house tonight.”

“No.” Mu Wan shook her head, “I have to go home to take care of the cats.”

It was already dark when she came home from Lin Wei’s house. Mu Wan returned home late, the initially empty home became even more deserted, and the sandalwood scent that was familiar in the past became cold and alienating.

Mu Wan took a bath and went to feed the three little ones and Zhou Yi. After feeding, she took the bedding of the second bedroom and went to Liu Qianxiu’s main bedroom. The bed in the main bedroom was still hard, but she had two layers of mattresses, so she could bear it at least.

Lied on the big empty bed, Mu Wan’s eyes were wide open, and she couldn’t sleep. She got up from the bed and went to the cat room. She brought the cat litter and cat food and moved the three little ones and Zhou Yi’s nest into the main bedroom.

When the four cats came, they ran and barked on the bed, causing the deserted bedroom lively. Mu Wan closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After sleeping intermittently at night, Mu Wan woke up. Then, she washed, ate breakfast, and went to the photography base. In order to come back early to send Liu Qianxiu to the airport yesterday, she postponed her scene to today, so she filmed all day today.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 475

~ INSANE CHENG EUNUCH ~ 

There was a smile on Yue Wang’s face: “I also think that Jin Wang is deliberately showing weakness.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but let out a sneer, “It’s a great move to retreat in order to advance. Jin Wang really knows how to grasp the opportunity. The Emperor knew that when the princes were older, it was inevitably a struggle and disputes between them. But he did not want to lose his distinction in the Imperial Court. Jin Wang deliberately showed weakness, and Ling Wang’s men after him, so the Emperor inevitably would think that he had suppressed Jin Wang too much. If he wanted Jin Wang to regain his strength, he could only promote the officials who supported Jin Wang, and the Su family is the best chess piece.”

Yue Wang nodded and looked appreciatively at Mu Yunyao: “Furthermore, many of Yu Wang’s elite officials have been bribed by Jin Wang to secretly help him with his work. This has caused the situation to spiral out of control and caused Imperial Father to feel even more uneasy.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes sunk, her voice carrying an indescribable coldness. “I know .... That person has always been willing to do anything for the sake of his goal....”

“Yunyao ….” Yue Wang looked at her worriedly, “Who are you talking about? Jin Wang?”

Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses. “It’s nothing. Although investigating Jiangnan’s salt tax from Yang Lian is easier, he’s still a third-grade official in the Imperial Court. How does Your Royal Highness plan to obtain evidence?”

“In Yang Lian’s official performance examination this year, he was awarded an upper-tier A grade.”

“The official’s eperformance examination?”

“That’s right. The chief inspector responsible for checking the officials’ performance examination is Grand Commandant Zou Min. A few days ago, my people found out that Zou Min had secretly accepted bribes and had tampered with the official performance examination.” Yue Wang lightly knocked on the table, “Let’s start with Zou Min. First, let’s call back Yang Lian’s performance examination and put him in the Ministry of Justice’s prison.”

“Ministry of Justice?” Mu Yunyao thought carefully, “Your Royal Highness, the Minister of Justice is taking refuge in Ling Wang. Do you want to use Ling Wang’s hand to uncover this matter?”

“That’s right. Although my situation has improved now, I am still a prince that is not valued and doted upon by Imperial Father. Only by pushing this matter to Ling Wang that it would be able to make Jin Wang lose his power and prevent him from turning over.”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertips trembled. “Your Royal Highness, although the princes in the Dali Dynasty are a bit repulsed by you, they’re all related by blood. Have you made your decision yet?”

Yue Wang turned his head, “Yunyao, do you think I’m cold-blooded and ruthless?”

“For a man to want to reap any benefits from his life, he must have suffered some losses. When I was unaware of my true identity and thought I was from the Su family, I showed no mercy to the Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi. Does Your Royal Highness think that I’m cold-blooded?”

A smile appeared on the lips of Yue Wang, and his gaze on Mu Yunyao was filled with warmth. The two of them were the same person, so they understood each other’s choices and practices better. They don’t need to talk too much, and they don’t need to test each other.

After Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang finished discussing, she felt a little hungry in her stomach. When Yunyao looked around, she discovered that she had already been in the study for almost an hour, so she hurriedly stood up. “It’s getting late, so I should go back.”

“Eunuch Cheng should be prepared by now. You should go back after eating.”

Mu Yunyao slightly hesitated before craftily blinking her eyes, “Then I won’t be courteous to Fourth Imperial Uncle.”

Yue Wang couldn’t help but laugh: “No need to be courteous. After all, I still owe you a lot of silver.”

During the meal’s preparation, Eunuch Cheng almost stared out a hole at the chef in the Kitchen. The chef was so scared that he could not even cut vegetables. “Eunuch Cheng, do you think this plate of gold and jade is all right?”

Eunuch Cheng looked at him carefully and took a closer look. “It’s not bad. Send it up then. Ah, wait a minute, the chef next to you, what kind of dish are you cooking?”

“This....” The chef looked at the osmanthus fish in the wok. Could it be that Eunuch Cheng didn’t recognize this? “Eunuch, this is an osmanthus fish....”

“What osmanthus fish? You can’t even think of a better name. This is clearly many children and many blessings... I will just say it when the dishes are served.”

Yu Yi walked over and couldn’t help but stagger when he heard these words “Eunuch Cheng, this isn’t a good idea.”

“What’s wrong with you?” Cheng glared at Yu Yi, but he didn’t have any eyesight. Wang Ye was like an iron tree in bloom, and it wasn’t easy for him to fall in love with someone. If he missed out on Miss Mu, who knows if he might end up lonely or die alone in the future. Can he help keep people without any effort?

Yu Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This Eunuch Cheng was much stronger than Steward Qin, and it wasn’t easy for Brother Yu Heng.

When the dishes were set up, Eunuch Chen introduced them to Mu Yunyao: “Miss, the cooking skills of the house’s chefs are quite crude. I hope that Miss will not mind. Please take a look at this dish … … ‘Affectionate’....”

Mu Yunyao looked at the shredded vegetable salad on the table. When did it change its name?

Yue Wang couldn’t help but raise his hand to his mouth and cough lightly. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of Mu Yunyao, “Have a try. The taste is pretty good.”The affection is continuous, so the taste was naturally good.

The smile on Eunuch Cheng’s face grew wider. “Look at this dish. This dish is called ‘Flying Together’....”

Mu Yunyao looked at the braised chicken on the plate. A pair of bare wings was made very conspicuous by being placed outside.

“And this one … A hundred years of harmony... This is a house full of gold and jade... Many children and many blessings...”

Mu Yunyao suddenly felt that she couldn’t bring herself to lower her chopsticks.

Yu Heng and Yu Yi stood guard at the entrance, enduring the laughter very hard.

Yue Wang could not help but cough dryly again: “Uncle Cheng, go to the kitchen and urge for some stomach nourishing soup.”

“Alright, then this old servant will go take a look if the long life together soup is ready.”

Mu Yunyao looked at the big table of dishes and couldn’t help but laugh out loud while covering her lips.

Yue Wang secretly let out a breath of relief. It was good that Yunyao wasn’t angry.

The meal was very heartwarming, the cooking skills of Yue Wang’s Palace’s chef were not bad, and when Mu Yunyao left, she was satisfied with the food.

As soon as she returned to Qinfang Garden, he saw a smiling Yu Wang. “Greetings, Second Imperial Uncle.”

“Yunyao, no need to stand on ceremony. Come, this jade pendant is for you to play with. I still have some pearls in my mansion, so I’ll have someone deliver them to you tomorrow.”

“Then I would like to thank Second Imperial Uncle.”

“Hmm, if Imperial Aunt invites Min next time … Old Madam Chu to come to the Grand Princess’s Mansion, you must also remind me to pay my respects in time.”

“Alright, since I’ve accepted Second Imperial Uncle’s gift, I definitely won’t forget.”

Jin Lan stepped forward to Mu Yunyao and helped her receive the jade pendant. She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Your Royal Highness Yu Wang is really good to Miss Min.”

“That’s right.” Mu Yunyao withdrew her gaze and went to greet the Grand Princess in her courtyard.

Yu Wang did not return to his residence after exiting the Qinfang Garden. Instead, he went to find Yue Wang.

Just as Yue Wang had ordered people to use their connections in secret to expose Zou Min’s case of being profane, he heard his subordinate report that Yu Wang was here.

“Didn’t Second Imperial Brother go to pay respects to Imperial Aunt? Why are you back so soon?”

“Imperial Aunt thought I was being long-winded and didn’t keep me for dinner. But I smell that Fourth Imperial Brother’s dishes were extremely fragrant and delicious. I wonder if you could give me some to eat?”

“From the look of Second Imperial Brother, you should not be in the mood to eat.” Yue Wang sized up Yu Wang’s expression, and a little thought flashed in his heart.

Yu Wang drank a mouthful of tea and raised his eyes to look at Yue Wang: “Fourth Imperial Brother, you and I do not have much to hide. I have something to say, and I’ll be frank with you. You should have already broken off your relationship with Mu Yunyao, right?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 474

~ I WILL BELIEVE IT AS LONG AS YOU SAY IT ~ 

Yu Wang could not help but twitch his mouth when he saw Yue Wang’s serious look. Did he really think that he was an idiot that could not see his careful thinking? If it were an ordinary family, then it would have been fine. However, Yunyao was Imperial Aunt’s granddaughter, and she had a generation difference from Fourth Imperial Brother. He had to think of a way to persuade Fourth Imperial Brother. If this angered Imperial Father, then it would be detrimental to him.

Mu Yunyao followed Yue Wang to the study, and Eunuch Cheng brought over a charcoal pot and fragrant tea, placing them by Mu Yunyao’s side. “Young Miss, could you try this fragrant tea brewing method? Previously, you gave me some tips for brewing tea, so this servant went back to practice for a long time.”

The tea was almost finished. Fortunately, it wasn’t wasted and was given to Yu Heng and the other guards to drink. The critical consequence was that those kids would cover their stomachs and run to the toilet whenever they saw him. It’s really humiliating.

Yue Wang looked at Yu Wang: “Second Imperial Brother, didn’t you say just now that you would enter the Palace to pay respects to Imperial Father? It should be about the time now.”

Yu Wang smiled, “There’s no rush. I can go there later in the evening.”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her lips. “When I came here just now, I heard Grandmother mumbling about Second Imperial Uncle. She said that it’s been a long time since she has seen you and paid respects to her at the Grand Princess’s Mansion.”

Yu Wang could not help but widen his eyes. These two people were not diligent in finding excuses and were obviously trying to chase him away.

“After I enter the Palace and pay my respects to Imperial Father, I will visit the Grand Princess.”

“That’s a pity. Grandmother saw Old Madam Chu today and heard that Miss Min also came with her. If Second Imperial Uncle went over to pay his respects now, you might even meet her.”

As soon as the Second Prince heard it, his eyes lit up. He and Min Fanghua, the eldest granddaughter of Elder Min, were engaged. But, because of Empress Dowager’s funeral and the national mourning period, they could only postpone the wedding. During this period of postponement, his relationship with Miss Min got along. Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, the Min family devoted themselves to teaching her various rules and not letting her go out. He had missed her a long time ago. But now, when he hears that he has the opportunity to meet each other, he can’t sit still.

There was a smile in Yue Wang’s eyes as he said, “Second Imperial Brother, hurry up and go. There’s no rush in paying respects to Imperial Father.”

“That’s great. I also miss Imperial Aunt too. It’s just right for me to go pay my respects.”

After Yu Wang left in a hurry, the smile in Yue Wang’s eyes vanished. “Yunyao, you came in a hurry. Your expression isn’t that good either. Did something important happen?”

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips. After remembering the matter from her memories, her first reaction was to come here and discuss it with Yue Wang. She didn’t even consider whether he believed her or not. What would he think after hearing his words?

Seeing her eyes flickering lightly, Yue Wang waited quietly with a look of hesitation on his face.

After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally made up her mind. “Your Royal Highness, I … I have something to say, and you may think it’s a little weird, but....”

“Yunyao, there’s no need to be like this between us. I mightn’t believe in anyone, but I definitely believe in you. If there’s anything you want to say, just say it.”

“For the past few days, I’ve been feeling uneasy. At night, I always had nightmares about a flood in Linjiang City. Afterward, the ship was transporting tax silvers sank directly into the river, causing all tax silvers to fall into the water and disappear without a trace.”

Yue Wang suddenly raised his head. “Linjiang City’s flood?”

Mu Yunyao nodded. When the incident happened in her previous life, she had struggled to survive in the Su family’s residence. Su Yuyi had taken donating silver to provide food to the victims and gained a superb reputation for kindness. Later on, the Su family had helped Su Yuyi set up a banquet, and she had been asked to attend with an exception. She knew there was a flood in Linjiang City when she heard about the discussion, which washed away a large amount of salt tax revenue. People along the coast had been displaced, and many victims had flooded into the Capital.

Initially, she only heard it once before the incident at Huguo Temple, where she almost lost her life. As a result, she had forgotten about this matter.

Today, she heard Jin Lan say that the weather was much hotter, and some scenes suddenly flashed into her mind. Before the river broke the wall in Linjiang City, the weather was exceptionally sultry for a while. Later on, when the matter of the river breaking through came about, many people said that the weather was abnormal. The heavens warned them, but unfortunately, no one could understand it.

Yue Wang involuntarily stood up and started pacing back and forth in the study.

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze and waited quietly at the side for Yue Wang’s response. She could only bring this matter up in a dreaming way. She did not know how much Yue Wang would believe such an incredible thing.

After a while, Yue Wang suddenly stopped, “Yunyao, this matter is too important. We need to consider it further and think about it from a long-term perspective. The waters along the river are vast, and every February, when the ice melts, spring floods will occur. However, the winter rains in recent years have not been abundant, so it has not caused too much-hidden danger. This year should be no different from the previous years. But this time, the river broke through the wall and happened to wash away a lot of salt tax revenue. Thus, no matter how you look at it, this is not normal.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her eyes, “Your Royal Highness believes what I say?”

“How could I not believe it?” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes filled with trust and resolution. “I already said that I will believe you as long as you speak. Moreover, this matter is too important, so you definitely won’t joke around.”

Mu Yunyao felt the warmth in her heart as she quickly looked away, “Then has Your Royal Highness thought of a way to deal with this?”

“I have been cleaned up Bu Xian Luo. Bu Xian Luo has been arranged for so long and consumed much in manpower and material resources. It’s about time to use some of our resources for useful purposes. This incident’s most likely due to the Jiangnan salt tax, so let’s start with the salt tax.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly. “The Jiangnan salt tax is far too important and is beyond our reach. It would be difficult for us to shake up the many salt merchants in Jiangnan with just our power. It would be better to find another way and find someone to make an opening for us.”

Yue Wang stopped, turned around, and looked over, “What you mean is … Yang Lian, Liangjiang salt transport envoy?”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “That’s right. Doesn’t Your Royal Highness feel that everything is too coincidental? The news spread that there was a problem with the salt tax in Jiangnan, and soon after, Liangjiang’s envoy, Yang Lian, returned to the Capital with Su Jin. We suspect that the silver in Jin Wang’s hands came from an illegal source, so we could said that Yang Lian and Jin Wang had contact... Things have always had a reason, and I don’t believe there will be so many coincidences.”

“Imperial Father recently intended to reinstate the Su family and praised Yang Lian, Liangjiang’s envoy. He wanted to transfer him to the Ministry of Public Affairs, temporarily replacing Su Wenyuan, who retired as the Minister.”

“The Minister?” Mu Yunyao was puzzled. The Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs had just taken it back from Su Wenyuan but now was going to hand it to Su Jin’s husband, Yang Lian. Wasn’t this the equivalent of swapping his left hand for his right? Is there any difference?

Yue Wang saw her frown, and his expression turned serious: “Recently, the First Prince and the Third Prince have been fighting, and Jin Wang was defeated in battles. Even though he proposed the method to reform the plow, he was still unable to gain much momentum.”

“Even if the previous incident had some impact on Jin Wang, it would not have caused his men to be unable to lift their heads. Unless … Jin Wang did it on purpose?”
