Returning to the Jade Glow Palace, Mu Yunyao prepared a calming tea for Grand Princess Yi De and chatted with her mother for a while before returning to her room.
Jin Lan brought some hot water and helped Mu Yunyao to wash up. "Miss, you should rest early. I"m really too tired today."
"Mm, you should rest early as well."
Lying on the bed, Mu Yunyao, however, couldn"t fall asleep.
Ever since she was reborn, her thoughts were mostly on her and her mother"s lives. Later on, her horizons gradually relaxed, and she began to scheme for revenge. After that, she met King Yue and her life gradually became colorful. However, any more would be gone.
She did not think about the matters of the nation, nor did she pay attention to the citizens. Her actions of helping the victims and providing porridge were all done just to gain a good name for herself. And today, after seeing how the Emperor had racked his brains for the inheritance of the imperial throne, she suddenly felt that she should do something.
Mu Yunyao tossed and turned on her bed, her thoughts slowly drifting further and further away until the latter half of the night before she finally fell asleep.
The next day, he woke up a little late. After packing up, he hurriedly went to the main hall to pay his respects. "Grandmother Wan An."
"I knew that you were exhausted yesterday, so I didn"t get anyone to call for you today. Did you sleep well?"
"Fortunately, Grandmother, the Emperor …"
"There"s no hurry. The emperor has gone to the imperial court earlier today. You should eat something first. It should be enough if you go over later and request for a pulse."
Mu Yunyao frowned, "Grandmother, the Emperor"s health isn"t very good. What he needs the most is some rest. If we head to the imperial court now, I don"t know if we can hold on."
"Stability should be the priority in the court right now, especially after the incident at King Yu"s banquet yesterday. All of the officials in the court will be paying attention to the emperor"s every move. In order to stabilize the hearts of the officials, the emperor will have to persevere even if it feels uncomfortable."
Mu Yunyao"s heart was filled with even more admiration. "Then I"ll go and organize some medicinal ingredients. A few days ago, I found a few prescriptions for medicinal medicine to recuperate the body and can let the imperial physicians have a look. If there"s no problem, I"ll make some so that the Emperor can regularly consume them."
"Alright, go ahead."
When Mu Yunyao arrived at the Resting Heart Residence and had just finished greeting the Emperor, she heard his stifled cough. "Cough cough …. "Let"s rise..."
"Your majesty, how do you feel today?"
"You rested for the night and felt much better than yesterday. On the other hand, you don"t seem to have any spirit?" The Emperor put down his brush and stretched his shoulders slightly. He felt as if a stone had fallen on his shoulder.
Mu Yunyao smiled very embarra.s.sedly. "I was frightened by that b.l.o.o.d.y scene yesterday, so I didn"t sleep well at night. I worried the Emperor."
"You"re still too young, aren"t you? You"ll get used to it if you go through more storms in the future."
Mu Yunyao blushed as she smiled. "Grandmother also said the same about me. Your Majesty, should I take a pulse for you?"
"Alright." Mu Yunyao stepped forward. After she finished checking her pulse, her expression became slightly more relaxed. "Your majesty"s pulse is still considered stable, but you still have to pay more attention to rest. Don"t get angry during this period of time. Try your best to maintain a calm mind."
The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao and couldn"t help but think of King Yue. "Yunyao, you and Jun Yue … "But what"s the plan?"
Mu Yunyao"s face slightly flushed, and she looked at the Emperor in embarra.s.sment. Her voice was a little lower than before, "Your Majesty, I once made a one year agreement with Your Highness Duke Yue during last autumn"s hunt, saying that we would wait for a year. Our hearts have not changed, so I will marry him."
The Emperor couldn"t help but chuckle. "The Autumn Hunt last year was in September. So you were betrothed to each other so early on. If your grandmother finds out, you will definitely be blamed."
"Don"t tell the grandmother." Mu Yunyao"s gaze was slightly nervous as she looked at the emperor with trust.
"Alright, I won"t say anything. However, September is about to arrive. Are you going to get married? "
Mu Yunyao raised her head, her face blushing even more red. "Your majesty, do you want to grant me and His Highness the Duke of Yue a marriage?" Your year is up, and since your intentions have not changed, I am naturally willing to be a beauty in life. Jun Yue"s personality is cold and unfeeling. It"s rare for him to support you, so I feel happy in my heart. Wait a few days
I will grant you a marriage and let the imperial overseer choose a good day so that you can finish it as soon as possible …
Is the marriage good? "
Mu Yunyao had a bright smile on her face, but her heart gradually sunk. "Many thanks to Your Majesty."
"Get up."
After leaving the Resting Heart Pavilion, Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but walk to a pavilion and sit down. When she thought about how the Emperor was short of breath when he spoke, she couldn"t help but furrow her brows.
King Yue invited her over. Seeing her like this, he couldn"t help but be worried in his heart, "Yunyao, what"s wrong?"
"Fourth Master, today, the Emperor asked me about you and me. I told him about the one year period between us, and he said he would grant us a marriage, so we can get married as soon as possible."
When King Yue heard that, a look of delight suddenly appeared on his face, before uncontrollably turning into a look of worry.
Mu Yunyao slightly sighed, "Fourth Master also thought of it?" For the Emperor to urgently arrange their marriage, one of them must have the intention of helping them have a lover. The most important reason was probably because he was worried that his time was running out, which was why he wanted them to get married as soon as possible.
"Yao"er, I believe in your medical skills. You must do your best to help father recuperate and heal his body." He would have to at least hold on for a little longer.
"Yes." Mu Yunyao solemnly nodded in agreement. Thinking about what happened today at the imperial court, Yue Yang"s face became even more unsightly: "Yesterday, second brother had gotten married, and many things happened. King Yu seemed to have felt that his father was unhappy and immediately went to the Li family. This morning, news had spread throughout the capital that it was King Yu and Princess Yu.
"As soon as the marriage took place, the emperor"s heir was gone, and the concubine Yue was also in trouble. This accusation of this marriage was extremely ominous, and could possibly damage the foundation of the Great Qin Empire."
The matter of the concubine"s pregnancy was related to the honor of the imperial family, so naturally, it couldn"t be spread randomly. The citizens didn"t know the truth, so it was hard to not think wrongly. The Li Family has always been swift and decisive in their actions, and Prime Minister Li was even more so decisive. This time, I"m afraid that Prince Yu will be in big trouble. " Mu Yunyao thought carefully for a moment before replying, "Fourth Master, although we"ve earned the trust of the Duke of Duan, we"re still not highly valued by the Li Family. We wish to thoroughly investigate the Li Family …
"They still need us to give them a push." En, I will instruct the not envious Lou Cheng to cut off the Li Family"s grain industry in Jiangnan and see how the Li Family reacts. With second brother in the imperial court, he should still be able to handle the situation. Right now, you should be careful of Imperial Concubine Li"s methods if you live in the palace with your imperial aunt. She has been in the palace for many years and has contacts in many places …
"Her foundation is unfathomable. Be careful of her shady tricks." "Alright, I understand."
