The emperor drank two sips of tea before placing the teacup at the side, "You donated a hundred thousand silver taels in the Tomb City, causing Li Munian to report the matter in writing. I heard that you have contributed greatly to our efforts.
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly and answered truthfully, "I didn't take them all out, but left fifty thousand silver taels behind. Thirty thousand silver taels out of that, fourteen thousand for my grandmother and the others to use as a greeting gift.
"What you said is quite detailed. No matter what, being grateful is a good thing. I should be giving you a reward. In addition, the tea leaves today are not bad. When the time comes, I'll get the person who beat you up from the Meng Clan to call you back." Mu Yunyao was stunned and couldn't move for a long time. Just as Xu Li couldn't resist reminding her, she suddenly stood up and kneeled on the ground with a 'pu tong', bowing to the Emperor with exceptional respect. Her body was filled with stubbornness, as if she was a seedling standing beneath a towering tree.
Even if it had to cover the ceiling, he still had to stubbornly struggle to get a sliver of an opportunity to catch his breath.
After Mu Yunyao made her salutations, she knelt on the ground and her chest violently heaved for a moment. Then, she solemnly said, "This humble one thanks the Emperor for presiding over justice!" If one were to listen carefully, one would notice the faint sound of her crying voice, as if she was saying how difficult it was to come to justice.
"Yes, you may leave." This humble girl will take her leave now. " Mu Yunyao lowered her head and bowed as she left the great hall. As she retreated, she couldn't stop her tears from rolling down. This kind of taboo matter made her not dare to raise her head, but it was unknown if it was because she was too agitated that she couldn't help sobbing twice.
It was especially obvious.
When she left, the emperor couldn't help but take another sip of the tea. "There's really nothing to say about the way tea is brewed."
Xu Li smiled at the side. Upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but say, "Miss Mu's skills in brewing tea have indeed improved."
The emperor put down the teacup and read the imperial edict. After writing a few times with a red brush, he could not help but chuckle. "She's quite a lively girl."
Xu Li couldn't stop his heart from thumping. There weren't many people who could receive such praise from the emperor. "To be praised by the emperor, that Miss Mu really does have such deep blessings."
To be praised by him meant that his luck was deep?
The Emperor couldn't help but recall what Mu Yunyao had said before, saying that he could affect a person's entire life with a single glance. Although he had understood this principle before, he hadn't paid particular attention to it.
When the emperor wielded the emperor's sword, he could slaughter all living things and burn their spirits. He could also intimidate ghosts and protect the peace of society!
"Xu Li, the Grand Princess will be returning to the palace before mid-autumn. Is the palace ready?" Xu Li quickly replied respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, the Grand Princess's Jade Palace has always been cleaned and tidied up by people every day. Now that I've heard that the Grand Princess has returned to the palace, I've specially painted the walls of pepper. The curtains and carpets in the hall have all been replaced with new ones.
The flowers, plants, trees, mountains, rivers, pavilions, all have been reorganized and refurbished. "
The emperor listened attentively and asked a few more questions. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he added on with a smile, "I wonder if the Grand Princess is willing to stay here for a longer period of time."
"Although the Grand Princess doesn't stay in the palace often, she still has her heart set on the Emperor."
The emperor shook his head, "In the end, some things are different. I am now the noble son of heaven, but my royal sister is worried about getting infected by my power and living in the palace. She doesn't want to return to the palace easily, and if it wasn't for me sending a few letters this time, she wouldn't be willing to come back."
Xu Li didn't dare to reply. Grand Princess Yi De held an extremely special position in the emperor's heart. A single word from him might attract the emperor's displeasure. The emperor paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and continued, "... I wasn't favoured when I was a prince, and I even got targeted by a few royal brothers due to my inferior birth. At that time, as long as royal sister discovers me, she will definitely help me fight back.
Every single time, it would cause the people who bully me to cry and howl incessantly. After that, royal father's health was not good at all, and disputes gradually arose. Life became more difficult, and then …
Xu Li lowered his head and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The things that the emperor had said were the secrets of the imperial family. As an attendant, he couldn't allow himself to be taken in by surprise. He didn't know why, but when he saw Mu Yunyao's expression when she left in the end, it actually made him think back to those extremely difficult days when he and his imperial sister had used their own strength to fight against the flood and the sky, surrounded by enemies …
The crowd surrounded him like wolves, standing alone and trembling in fear …
"Xu Li, the Grand Princess Mansion needs to take good care of this as well." This time, when her royal sister returned to the palace, she seemed to have received some advice from the esteemed monk, wanting to find a girl to write it down in the name of her lost daughter.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
On the other side, Mu Yunyao followed the young eunuch who led the way out of the palace. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurriedly came over, and the nervousness in their eyes eased up. "Miss."
Mu Yunyao smiled at them, her eyes still slightly red. Senior Servant Qi, who was standing by the side, silently took in her expression and prepared to return to report it to the first wife.
A young eunuch who was leading the way bowed to Mu Yunyao. "Miss Mu, you have already left the palace. This servant will return to report to Eunuch Li."
Mu Yunyao indicated for Jinlan to send over the black bag, smiled and nodded as she said her thanks, "Thank you for guiding me twice, eunuch."
The young eunuch was surprised to receive the money, and his actions were unnatural as he placed it in his sleeves, "Take care, Miss Mu."
Mu Yunyao got on the carriage and headed towards the Su Palace. The young eunuch who was leading the way returned to the palace and found an opportunity to meet Li De after a while. "Eunuch Li, this was given to me by Miss Mu. How could I use it in the palace? I wanted to use it to honor you." They, the lowly servants, could not leave the palace easily, nor did they leave any money behind …
To use.
Li De took the bag and opened it. Inside was a fifty-tael banknote, and after he finished looking at it, he threw the bag into the noble's arms, "Since Miss Mu gave it to you, then you should keep it. Now that you can't spend it, you'll naturally have the chance to leave the palace in the future."
"Thank you, Eunuch Li."
"En, since you have received my benefits, the next time you lead the way, be a little more respectful."
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li." Next time? Could it be that Miss Mu can often enter the palace? When Li De returned to his room, he saw his master Xu Li resting by the side. He hurriedly stepped forward with a face full of smiles as he held Li De's shoulder. "Master, do you think that Lady Mu will really dare to beat back the young lady of the Meng Family?"
