Chapter 686
After the four of them finished speaking, they quietly knelt on the ground, waiting for Mu Yunyao to deal with them. Mu Yunyao's mind went through what they had said, and she felt that something was a bit strange. "You guys get up. Whether it's a coincidence or someone intentionally guiding you, I don't want there to be a next time. Even if something huge happens in the future, I definitely can't let mother stay here alone.
"
"Miss, this servant will remember, there will never be a next time."
"Mm. I will stay here to help. The rest of you can go back. Jinlan and Jinqiao don't know martial arts, and they are guarding my mother. I won't be able to rest at ease."
"Yes."
Mu Yunyao turned around to pack up the ingredients absentmindedly. She had left a Shadow Guard by her mother's side, but because she had specifically warned her mother not to show up until the moment of danger, she asked Xu Fei to send her mother back.
After an hour of preparing the meal, Xu Yanhan woke up. Seeing the dishes on the table and Mu Yunyao's smiling face, he really felt a little hungry, "Yao`er's cooking skills are still the best."
Mu Yunyao had only eaten two simple bites in the mansion before, but now that she was so busy, her stomach rumbled with hunger, so she accompanied Xu Yanhan to eat with her.
Only the mother and daughter were present, so they didn't follow the strict rules. While eating, they would occasionally say a few pleasantries.
As they talked, Xu Yanhan brought the topic up to Xu Fei, "Yao`er, I heard that Lord Xu was transferred to the Ministry of Justice by the emperor?"
"Yes, from a second rank vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, it can also be considered as having real power."
"This is hard to come by …" Xu Yanhan replied with a thoughtful look.
Mu Yunyao probingly asked, "Mother, haven't you also seen this Sir Xu before? "He is Grandmother's adopted son. Ever since he returned to the capital, he has often come to pay respects …" Regarding Xu Fei, according to seniority, he was two years older than Xu Yanhan and was called a sworn brother. Mu Yunyao wanted to call him uncle, but this person had a gentle face and carried a strong scholarly air.
He had taken a fancy to the aura on his body.
"Yes." Xu Yanhan replied and didn't speak any further. She quietly ate with Mu Yunyao.
In the Qin Fang Garden, Mu Yunyao was worried about Xu Yanhan's emotions, and within the palace, King Yue was also feeling helpless.
"Your majesty, I've already told you before that I have no heart to go to court and only want to live with Yun Yao. You promised me before, how could you suddenly change your mind?" Secondly, he had to inform the Emperor in advance. He was prepared to hand over the information that Mu Yunyao had provided to him at the Imperial Court tomorrow to be handed over to the Nebula Market as well as to the not envy building. However, he did not expect that the Emperor would do such a thing.
Upon hearing that, she immediately became anxious.
Ning Junyu was dressed in the attire of an emperor, and Xu Li was standing by her side, holding her breath. His expression was imposing, and after hearing King Yue's words, he waved his hand, signalling Xu Li to bring the palace maids away. After the hall was closed, Ning Junyu immediately stood up and moved her stiff body as she spoke in a casual manner, "Fourth brother, look at this. From last night onwards, I've been staring at these reports. Now, my eyes are even redder than a rabbit's.
I know that you have no intention to go to court, but right now, as my brother, you absolutely cannot leave now. "
As Ning Junyu spoke, she lifted her clothes and sat down on the stairs. She put her hands on the ground behind her, looking exhausted.
Yue Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His expression gradually relaxed, "Second brother, you are the emperor now. How can you be so sloppy?" No one made it clear that an emperor had to sit upright. Besides, you and I are brothers. If we were in front of you, I wouldn't reveal my true nature. Being an emperor is a bit too arduous. Fourth brother, you still haven't answered me. Help me in the capital for a while. Once my political situation has stabilized, I will definitely …
I won't force you to stay any longer. "
"Yao'er and I have agreed to go to the South Sea to have a look." Ning Junyu shook her head, "It's not that we can't go to the South Sea, but we can't go right now. "Fourth brother, think about it. Imperial Father asked you to be filial for three months, so you can't leave for the next three months. When the filial mourning ends, it will be July. When you arrive at the South Sea, it might even be September."
I'm married, do you want a son as soon as possible? If Fourth Sister-in-Law was already pregnant, or on the way … Cough cough, no matter how bumpy the journey is, it's not good. "
The hesitation on King Yue's face deepened. After seriously pondering for a moment, he said with a slightly doubtful tone: "Second brother, why do I feel like you're trying to use this method to make me stay?" Since he couldn't have fun during the national mourning, he and Yun Yao naturally did not share the same room. The Emperor's words were clearly trying to force logic out of him.
"What I said was the truth. Fourth brother, you think too much of me. Am I that kind of person?" "Well, we'll talk about it later." In truth, even if he did not have a reason like the carriage running amok, just based on the brotherly relationship between him and Ning Junyu, as long as the other party opened their mouth, he would definitely stay behind and accompany him on his journey …
This was the most unstable period of time. Ning Junyu's eyes lit up as she inwardly cheered, "Good! That's great! By the way, Fourth Brother, you should be the one in charge of the imperial guards. The envoys from the Northern Frontier are already on their way here and will arrive in the capital in a few days. I feel that the Northern Frontier is not a simple place.
This will stop people from secretly causing trouble. "
"Yes. Second Brother, please be at ease. I will definitely protect the capital."
"Okay, other than that, I want to have Ning Jun and Ning Jun Jin go guard the imperial mausoleum. I want the two of them to apologize properly in front of royal father." Thinking back to how her father was spitting out blood, Ning Junyu felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart.
Yue Yang nodded his head. In his heart, he did not have the slightest bit of goodwill towards them: "If it were not for these two, royal father's body would not have been ruined so quickly. Second Brother's treatment of them is simply too easy."
"Don't worry, guarding the Royal Tomb is only the first step. It won't be long before Fourth Brother knows what my intentions are." The crimes committed by these two people could be said to be untold. He couldn't just take their lives, but there were still ways to do it. For example, if he didn't do it himself, the two of them would kill each other. If he died, it would have nothing to do with him.
