Mu Yunyao accompanied King Yue in eating half a bowl of noodles. When she saw that he didn"t have any intention of leaving, she couldn"t help but feel a little curious. "Fourth Master, are you still not going back?"
"Yao"er, right now the palace has already given out the key. I can"t leave." As King Yue spoke, he glanced at Mu Yunyao"s bed.
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before her face flushed red, "Since Fourth Master can"t go back, then why don"t you stay at my place for the night?" She was clearly extremely embarra.s.sed, but she refused to admit defeat. Duke Yue originally wanted to tease Mu Yunyao a little, but his heart couldn"t help but jump when he heard her suggestion. He opened his mouth to speak, but lost to Mu Yunyao"s crafty gaze in the end, "I … I have already made it clear to royal father that this is the New Year"s Eve and I especially want to stay by his side. royal father has allowed me to stay in the palace …
One night in the middle. "
If it hadn"t been for the emperor"s permission, he wouldn"t have been able to freely enter and leave the imperial palace, no matter how skilled he was. However, when he said those words, his royal father"s expression was exceptionally playful, probably knowing that he had other motives.
Mu Yunyao"s ears reddened a little and her heartbeat gradually stabilized, "Then Fourth Master should head back quickly. Tomorrow morning we"ll have the morning a.s.sembly." The new year had already pa.s.sed, and tomorrow, the Emperor was going to start writing.
Yue Yang lowered his head and kissed the center of Mu Yunyao"s brows, "Then I"ll be leaving first."
"Alright." When she couldn"t see King Yue"s figure, Mu Yunyao closed the window and changed her clothes to lie on the bed. She couldn"t help but roll around with the blanket in her arms, thinking about the sea of lights in the Plum Garden tonight and King Yue"s eyes that were filled with love. She felt like her heart was bursting with honey.
There were no more gaps.
Jin Lan stepped forward and helped Mu Yunyao put Mrs. Tang down, then said while holding back her laughter, "Miss, please rest quickly. It"s already very late, in two days you"ll be the bride. You have to raise your own beauty."
"I know, you and Jinqiao should rest soon as well."
It was a beautiful night, and when the sky was bright, Mu Yunyao was actually slightly reluctant to wake up. In her dreams, she was dressed in red and holding Yue Yang"s hand. Their gazes intersected and filled with friendship, sweet to the point that others could not help but laugh out loud. Jin Lan saw that Mu Yunyao had woken up, so she stepped forward to open the curtain and let the sunlight fall. "Miss, Grand Princess Yi De knew that you slept late last night, so she specifically warned me that I don"t need to greet you today. Thus, I didn"t need to wake you up so early.
"
Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to block the sunlight. The sparkling light shone in, causing people to be even lazier and unwilling to move. "It snowed last night, is it clear today?"
"That"s right, your servant did not expect that after a night of heavy snow, the sky would clear up. Right now, the outside is covered in a blanket of silver. If Miss wants to enjoy the scenery, you have to get up quickly."
Mu Yunyao stood up and wore her clothes. When Jin Lan saw that the smile on the corner of her mouth never faded, she couldn"t help but ask, "Miss, I saw that you were smiling the entire time, and seemed to be very happy …"
Mu Yunyao looked at the copper mirror in front of her. Through the mirror, she could clearly see the corner of her lips slightly raised. Thinking back to last night"s dream, her smile deepened. "Yeah, I"m very happy." In her previous life, she was thought to be born in a disgrace due to her status as Prince Jin"s concubine. In addition, the eldest wife of the Su Clan, the Meng Clan, had deliberately made things difficult for her.
It was a joyous and exciting thing.
After dressing up, Mu Yunyao went to pay her respects to Grand Princess Yi De. Naturally, she was teased again, and on the way back, she pa.s.sed by the side hall where the Poison Matriarch lived before. She couldn"t help but be a little worried, "There"s still no news from the Poison Matriarch?"
"Nope."
"Before she left, she said that she would be back to attend my wedding. Get some attention, if there"s any news, immediately send it over to me. Also, prepare an invitation for Su You"s side, otherwise, she will act like a little kid towards me again."
"Yes, this servant understands."
Even until the seventeenth day of the first month, there was still no news from the Lady of the Poison Codex. On the other hand, there was a sudden movement from the northern border.
Wei Jiu reported respectfully, "Master, the northern border has already agreed to ally with Prince Jin, and the princesses of the northern border have also leaned towards the Prince Jin"s side. This subordinate has intercepted the news and promised to prepare sufficient iron and horses for King Jin.
"Xun family."
"Xun Lu, second level Ruler Knight. If I remember correctly, this Xun Lu seems to have been at odds with King Yu and the Qi family, right?" Yes, Xun Lu was once a loyal general, but because he was drunk in the army and injured two of his subordinates, he was taken in by the Duke of Wei. The Emperor dismissed him as such, and now, he was serving in the western camp of the capital.
I already had a restless mind. " Mu Yunyao"s expression was cold, "No wonder King Jin found him. It"s not easy to mobilize an army. Not only do we need the Emperor"s military medallion, but the capital"s army must not enter the capital unless the Emperor specifically gives an order. Moreover, the capital"s most elite twenty thousand Beijing guards are stationed, and the imperial palace is prohibited.
"Guards, to break through the capital in one fell swoop is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Prince Jin shouldn"t be that stupid."
Wei Jiu raised his eyes and said, "Mistress, on the third day of March, the Emperor is going to the Imperial Manor in the suburbs to hold the Spring Growing Ceremony. At that time, he will leave the Imperial City."
Mu Yunyao"s forehead suddenly creased. "The Spring Tillage Great Hall, the Imperial Manor in the suburbs … "I understand. Is there any movement from w.a.n.g and Li"s side?" The Northern Frontier preferred the Jin Emperor. The w.a.n.g and Li family would naturally come up with a plan to deal with it.
"Reporting to Mistress, previously, King Yu and King Jin had arranged to meet with the Princess of the Northern Frontier on the day of the Spring Lantern Festival to admire the lights, but the Northern Frontier Princess had agreed to meet with King Jin. When we found out that the two of them were going out together, the King was furious, but we didn"t find out that he was targeting King Jin at the moment."
"Help Prince Jin?" Mu Yunyao"s eyes flashed. "The King is helping Prince Jin contact the military general. If he isn"t crazy, then he wants to make use of Prince Jin to make him a p.a.w.n in a river."
"Mistress, do you need any reinforcements from the Shadow Squad?"
Mu Yunyao shook her head, "There aren"t many Shadow Guards, and everyone has their uses. Only the emperor, his grandmother, and his mother have a lot of people by their side, so we can"t split up their forces anymore. I"ll get people to think of a way to investigate.
The Shadow Squad was a sharp blade that was used to cut off the enemy"s throat at critical moments. They could not let them waste time on unnecessary things, or else the gains would not make up for the losses.
"Yes."
When Wei Jiu left, Mu Yunyao raised her hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows as she thought of a countermeasure.
Jin Lan brought up a cup of tea. "Miss, you should rest early. Tomorrow will be your wedding day." Mu Yunyao"s heart trembled as she suppressed her complicated thoughts to the bottom of her heart. "Alright, I understand."
