Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 538

After King Yue finished the noodles, he contentedly finished all the broth and supported himself on the side with his head. From time to time, he would stretch out his hands to mess up a few pieces of embroidery, causing Mu Yunyao to stare at him.
When he extended his hand over once again, Mu Yunyao immediately pressed his palm down. "Stay by the side and wait peacefully, don't move recklessly."
Duke Yue seized the opportunity to grab Mu Yunyao's finger and pulled it to his lips to kiss it. He was finally satisfied in his heart, "Yunyao, embroidery hurts the eyes, so there's no need to specially embroider things for me."
Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head. "To be able to make clothes and accessories for your beloved with a needle is a very pleasing thing to me. Besides, making clothes for you alone won't take long, it won't hurt your eyes."
The sweetness in King Yue's heart grew thicker. He walked to Mu Yunyao's side and sat down before putting his arm around her. "Yao`er, it's already May now."
"Well, what about May?"
"There is less than half a year left until the one year deadline that we agreed upon. Am I going to start preparing the betrothal gift? "
Mu Yunyao was startled, then suddenly broke into a smile. "Then you have to prepare more. After all, I'm the Grand Princess' granddaughter. If I don't have enough betrothal gifts, Grandmother definitely wouldn't agree to it."
"Then if it doesn't work, I'll just marry into it?"
"Alright, when the time comes, I'll definitely treat you well as a husband." Mu Yunyao couldn't stop from laughing.
Duke Yue wound his arm around Mu Yunyao's waist even tighter, and a bright smile surfaced in his eyes, "Then your wife, please take more pity on her."
"Haha, alright, I'll agree."
The two of them laughed and teased for a while, until the embroidery lines beside the soft couch were messed up. After the teasing was over, King Fu went to the side to read his book, while Mu Yunyao began to play with the embroidery threads again. Although the two of them did their own things in silence, there was a sense of warmth and tranquility lingering around them.
At this moment in the palace, the emperor was looking at the boxes of silver taels placed in the middle of the hall. He was filled with rage as he asked, "Who were the beggars who found all these silver taels?"
Shen Bingchen hurriedly replied, "Reporting to your majesty, that's right."
"The beggar has tens of thousands of silver on him …" The Emperor couldn't help but sneer, and the flames of rage in his heart were burning. However, the more it was like this, the more he wanted to control everything within his hands. It was as if he was still the emperor who had the ability to plan things, but now, there were people who treated him as a blind person, allowing him to hide his taxes and money and bring them to the capital.
They were all being transported here, and they were doing this right under his nose!
"Shen Bingshu, you don't need to care about this case. We will get people to investigate it clearly."
"Yes."
After Shen Bingshu left, the emperor removed the jade pendant from his waist and said in a deep voice, "Wei Yi."
A black-robed guard soundlessly appeared in the hall. "Your subordinate is here."
"Take the dragon pendant, I want to know all the ins and outs of this matter."
"Yes." Wei Yi was nowhere to be seen before his voice faded into the hall.
Xu Li lowered his head and waited for Wei Yiyi to step back before he heaved a sigh of relief. However, he had been with the emperor for quite some time and had never seen the emperor use it before. When he first saw Wei Yi just now, he felt that the person before him was as fleeting as a ghost, unwittingly meeting that person's eyes and feeling even more sinister …
It was icy cold, and at a glance, it was as if they were living in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It caused chills to run down one's spine.
In the Grand Princess Residence, right after Senior Servant Qu removed her teacup, she heard the soft cry of a bird outside. Her expression turned cold as she ordered her maidservant to withdraw while she opened the window.
Not long after, a figure dressed in black entered the room through the window without disturbing the people around him.
"This servant greets Master."
Grand Princess Yi De slowly raised her eyes. "Wei Yi … I am no longer the lord of the Shadow Squad. Your master is the Emperor. "
"There is an iron law in the Shadow Squad. They are loyal to the Emperor and loyal to the Grand Princess."
"Forget it, after so many years, the Emperor has finally used all of you. It can also be considered good fortune for the Shadow Squad, don't lose your father's face, and also, control the investigation properly. Once we find out the truth of the case, we can terminate it.
"Yes, your servant accepts the order."
"Go."
A moment later, Senior Servant Qu closed the window and stood by the Grand Princess's side while bowing. "It was truly surprising that the Emperor used the Shadow Squad."
"Since Your Majesty is old, there are many things that you cannot handle. It's about time for you to need someone's help. How is the situation in the palace? "
"Grand Concubine Li has been suppressed by Imperial Concubine Li. Now that she can't take it all on her own, I've found Consort De and want to rope her in to support Prince Jin. Consort De is hesitating, but Su Yuyi …"
"What happened to Su Yuyi?"
"Imperial Concubine Li secretly had someone feed Su Yuyi pseudo-pregnancy grass and secretly instructed the imperial physician to adjust his pulse." Grand Princess Yi De laughed. "I've cleaned up the palace time and time again, but this palace is always so dirty." The knot in Consort De's heart for so many years was that she had no children. However, if Su Yuyi could give birth to a child,
Then she can take care of him and put him down, Li Gui.
It was because Fei Fei saw this that she decided to use Su Yuyi's body to disrupt their alliance. "
"Grand Princess, do you need me to suppress the harem?"
"The harem is filled with dense Yin Qi. We can't suppress them, so let them go."
"Yes."
In Jiangnan, at the end of the river bank construction, Qi Yun sent another imperial report to the capital.
When the Emperor received the paper, he immediately summoned the King and Prince Jin back to the capital without the slightest hesitation.
When Mu Yunyao heard this news, she gently put down the flower shears in her hands and arranged the leaves and branches of the hibiscus flower in the Spring Bottle Magpie Dengmei in front of her. "Magpie Dengmei, what a good omen! Jinlan, send it over to mother."
After receiving the order to return to the capital, the King was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to prepare.
Prince Jin looked hesitant. "Lord Qi, the river wall is at a critical moment. If I leave now, will you be able to handle it by yourself?" Qi Yun had a whole new level of respect for Prince Jin these days. Who would have thought that, as the prince, he would be able to put down all his airs and soak in the river for an entire day. He had even personally helped the river workers transport the sand and stones several times, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much.
Alright, it hasn't rained for a long time, and the river has been mostly tidied up. After working so hard, you should return to the capital to have a good rest. "
"Let's do it this way. Although Imperial Father has already given the order, I don't mind delaying you for a day or two. At this critical moment, when the river bank is fully excavated, I will head back to the capital. If everything goes well, then this king can help Lord Qi with his request." At first, the idea of "straightening out" was inspired by Princess Wen Xian, but later on, the successful completion of "cutting the river" was all thanks to the people and the river workers. I would never dare to claim credit for it, but I think that His Royal Highness has already started to pack up for the ceremony, you should leave together with me.
"If..."
"It's fine."
After the King heard the news, he coldly snorted and mounted his horse. Just as he was about to leave, he coincidentally met Prince Jin, who had just returned to his residence: "Third Brother, you will continue to gain fame here. I will leave first, and wait for your good news in the capital."
"Then I wish Big Brother a pleasant journey." When Prince Jin walked into the courtyard, he mocked in a low voice, "Do you think that by using such a despicable method, you can control the entire situation? "Wishful thinking!"
