Chapter 637
The map that Mu Yunyao had displayed was like a huge rock, firmly pressing down on the envoy's heart. They thought to themselves that they must find out whether or not the Lai Dynasty had already grasped the detailed map of the Northern Frontier. Otherwise, they might not be able to sleep at night after returning.
Seeing that the envoys were fidgety and restless, the officials of the imperial court were all smiling, their eyes full of pride. They had not liked each other in the north for a long time. When they saw each other's worry, they would be able to eat an extra bowl of rice.
The emperor's expression was filled with joy. It was only at the end of the banquet that the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
As the officials retreated one by one, the envoys from the Northern Frontier were also sent out of the palace. Mu Yunyao looked at the kneeling Imperial Concubine Qi and asked Grand Princess Yi in a low voice, "Grandmother, should we withdraw first?"
"No need, let's listen to it together. Although it is an old story, in the future, there are many things that you will have to bear. It's also good to know a bit more."
Imperial Concubine Qi was kneeling on the ground, the long tassel hanging down her phoenix steps.
King Yu and Princess Yu knelt behind Imperial Concubine Qi, their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.
The emperor leaned on the dragon throne. His eyes were especially deep as he said, "Wan Yan, you have been in the palace for so many years. I know you have a knot in your heart, but I think I have treated you well."
When Imperial Concubine Qi heard the emperor address her by name, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly. "The emperor treats his concubine extremely well."
"Since you know about it, you should know the limits to it." Anger was in the Emperor's voice.
Imperial Concubine Qi raised her head, as tears continuously dripped from her eyes, "Your majesty, although this chenqie has an engagement with Li Xiao, there has never been a place where it crossed the line. You should be clear in your heart that if I had even the slightest bit of disloyalty to the emperor, father would not send me to the imperial harem."
"I am well aware of the Duke of Wei's loyalty, so I naturally won't have any doubts. As for you, if I don't trust you, will you still be able to cry peacefully here?"
She had a physical relationship with Jun Yu, and this time, they were close enough for her to conceive Jun Yu. Thus, she stayed in the palace for so many years. The emperor sighed deeply, "Wan Yan, get up. You are now my imperial concubine, Jun Yu's mother, and you no longer have the power to act willfully. I have already ordered someone to leave Wen Lixiao at the palace.
A tear from the past. "
He loved the Queen dearly and understood the taste of longing. Imperial Concubine Qi bent over and respectfully kowtowed to the emperor, "Chenqie thanks Your Majesty for your good intentions, but there's no need. Your majesty has already said that these are all past events. Since they are past events, there's no need for you to worry about them. After all, she is a selfish woman
Since she could not turn back for the sake of love, she had to worry about the Qi family and help Jun Yu with her plans. The more she thought about it, the more her heart would be occupied. Grand Princess Yi De's eyes moved, and her pursed lips relaxed a little. It was fortunate that Imperial Consort Qi hadn't lost her head from the love of the past, and had done something to Jun Yu. As the mother of the crown prince, she had to be flawless. If Imperial Consort Qi didn't recognize her, then …
Clearing his own position might result in another debt of blood in the harem.
King Yu and Princess Yu helped Imperial Concubine Qi up.
The emperor said, "If Princess Yu is pregnant, she should be taken care of properly. This emperor will instruct the imperial physician to treat you well. You should return to the Deyang Palace first and have Jun Yu send Imperial Concubine Qi back first."
"Yes."
The emperor bade farewell to the Grand Princess and left. King Yu supported Imperial Concubine Qi towards the imperial harem.
Mu Yunyao slightly fell back and walked shoulder to shoulder with the Titan King. As they were walking out of the great hall, Mu Yun Yao, borrowing the light from the candles in the great hall, discovered that there seemed to be traces of blood on the ground. She couldn't help but call Li De over.
Li De took a look and hurriedly ordered the attendant to clean up the bloodstain. "Thank you for your reminder, Princess. The bloodstain on the ground was left behind by that zither master just now."
"The Emperor said before that he left the zither master in the palace. Where is he now?" As soon as he left the hall, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The servant didn't have time to report back, so he had the Imperial Physician treat him first. The Imperial Physician said he was poisoned after checking his pulse, but he had already lost all signs of life.
"Poisoned?" Mu Yunyao frowned as she thought about the flustered and exasperated expression of the King. She couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.
"That's right, the imperial physicians said they'd taken the Gut Cutting Medicine, so the effects are unbearable, but as long as you take the antidote in time, they won't kill you. It's a pity that the imperial physicians have already brought in the antidote for you, but that zitherist didn't have any intention of taking it."
Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at King Yue, her eyes flashing with deep worry. "I understand, thank you Eunuch Li."
"Princess, you're being too courteous. This servant will take his leave."
Seeing that Mu Yunyao's expression wasn't good, King Yue couldn't help but hold her hand and walk forward. "Yao`er, are you going to take a look at that Wen Lixiao?"
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment. After hearing Yue Yang's words, she couldn't help but be a little uncertain, "Is Fourth Elder trying to interfere in this matter? This matter involves the previous generation. Moreover, the Emperor's expression just now wasn't too good, so wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to take care of it? "
Yue Yang turned his head to look at her. "I saw that your face wasn't good, I thought you were sad."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but laugh. "Fourth Master is overthinking things. After witnessing today's events, although I feel emotional, it's not enough to make me meddle in other people's business." She had never been a warmhearted person.
Mu Yunyao's smile became even sweeter as she pulled Duke Yue's hand and slowly clasped his ten fingers tightly together, "There are thousands of things in the world, how can a person manage it? I am already satisfied if I can stay with Fourth Master and not leave any regrets."
King Yue lowered his eyes to look at Mu Yunyao. His deep eyes seemed to shine with fragmented starlight.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but stare blankly. Seeing that no one was around, she stretched out her hand and quickly touched his face. She smiled like a cat that had stolen a piece of meat: "Fourth Master is really good-looking."
Yue Yang's ears flushed red, he looked at Mu Yunyao as she tilted her head and squinted her eyes with a smile. If there were more strands of beard on her lips, she would be exactly the same as the Lovers Cat he had raised before. "Then, I will only let Yao'er see me, and Yao'er will also only be allowed to look at me." "Alright."
