The harmonious spring day had already arrived, but unfortunately, the commoners did not have the slightest bit of elation. The late emperor"s death shrouded the hearts of the crowd with a layer of deep sadness.
Inside the Fu family"s residence, Mu Yunyao lazily leaned against the soft couch. Her eyes had a faint cyan tint to them and her expression was a little misty. There was an indescribable sense of weariness in them.
The Lady Poison held the half-eaten fruit in her hand. Seeing Mu Yunyao like this, she took the fruit into her mouth, walked up to her, and picked up her wrist to check her pulse. "Besides feeling a little weak, there"s nothing wrong with it. What"s wrong with it?"
Mu Yunyao opened her eyes and yawned slightly. "The weather is getting hotter, so it"s easy for people to get tired and lose their vigor. Why did you come? "Junior apprentice-brother?" Poison Matriarch"s face stiffened and she shuddered involuntarily. Whenever she mentioned her junior brother, she would hear the words" Infinite Cycle Senior Sister "and it would be even worse than being poisoned. "You still have the strength to tease me? These days are a period of national mourning, even if you
As a woman, she didn"t have to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay her respects, but she had to take care of the Eldest Princess Yide and deal with the affairs of the palace. She had to work really hard all day, so she had to eat more, eat more fat, and only then would she have the strength to do so. "Otherwise, you"ll be as listless as you are now." "Got it." Mu Yunyao"s heart warmed a little when she felt the Poison Matriarch"s care. However, eating too much fat can"t be described as piggy, right? She smiled helplessly and replied, "It"s already been over ten days since the Grand Emperor pa.s.sed away, but I still can"t calm down. Maybe after a period of time …"
"Then that"s good."
"Mm, the Supreme Emperor … He is indeed a rare Mighty Lord. " Matriarch He sighed, "Right, the evidence from the Lee family should have been gathered by now, right? Should we deal with them soon?"
"The evidence has already started to spread. Even if the Li family is involved in a conspiracy, without evidence, it would still be enough to make it impossible for them to recover. On the other hand, that Northern Frontier Princess is truly a troublesome person."
"I heard that the envoys in the Northern Frontier don"t want to admit to partic.i.p.ating in the conspiracy, and they even continued to use their ident.i.ties as gossip. It was as if they wanted to borrow the power of the Northern Frontier to escape punishment." When she found out that it was the Northern Frontier Princess colluding with Prince Jin to murder the child in Princess Yu, she hated him to the core. Now that she heard that she could use her ident.i.ty to escape death, she really wanted to pinch the poison …
If the powder was spread out, it would poison people to death.
Mu Yunyao didn"t say anything for a moment.
Poison Matriarch"s heart sank, "Yunyao, could it be that I"ve really hit the mark? The emperor intends to let her go? "
However, news has come in that the Northern Frontier once again sent an envoy. This time, it seems to be for a gift, not only to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, but also to apologize for what Helian Li did.
"This is too..." The woman bit the fruit in her hand in anger, not knowing what to say. Seeing that she was extremely angry, Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but open her mouth to persuade her: "Alright, don"t be angry, Helian Li"s ident.i.ty is special after all. For the new Emperor to ascend the throne, everything requires stability, and this involves the Northern Frontier so you have to be extra cautious.
I will think of a way to get even with you, even if it"s not right now, if a gentleman takes revenge ten years later, I think he will be able to get it back. "
"That"s true. It"s useless for us to die of anger here."
"Miss, the carriage is ready," Jin Lan reported softly from the door.
Mu Yunyao stood up and moved her throbbing knee. After kneeling for so long, her knees turned purple from crying. "I"m going to the Grand Princess"s Mansion, are you coming with me?"
"I"ll head back to the courtyard to research on my new prescription. I won"t be accompanying you."
"Sure." Ever since the Grand Emperor pa.s.sed away, Grand Princess Yi De moved out of the palace, returned to Qinfang Garden, and fell ill. These past ten days, she had been lying in bed with a high fever, making her appearance exceptionally dangerous. She scared Mu Yunyao and Xu Yanhan so much that they didn"t dare to leave.
His condition gradually improved.
After the carriage stopped, Mu Yunyao walked down and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Qin Fang Garden was currently at its most suitable time to enjoy the scenery. A warm breeze blew, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and flowing water swirled around. Various colored lotuses had already started sprouting, and b.u.t.terflies were dancing in the air, exuding a sense of vitality.
Arriving at the Ronghua Residence where Grand Princess Yi lived, Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and saw the maid waiting outside. Her eyes slightly moved. "A guest has come to visit Grandmother today?"
"Reporting to Princess, it"s Miss Xu." The maid who was leading the way quickly replied.
Xu Qi? It had been a long time since he had seen this person.
Mu Yunyao arrived at the door to the room, but before she even entered, she could already hear the sounds of laughter. Her voice was clear and unhurried, with a pleasant tone that made people feel comfortable listening to it.
As soon as Mu Yunyao walked in, Senior Servant Qu spoke up, "The princess has arrived. Your servant greets you, princess."
Yi De, the Grand Princess, was sitting by the bedside, smiling as she listened to Xu Qi"s words. Hearing Senior Servant Qu"s greeting, she raised her eyes and the smile on her face became even more genuine. "Yao"er has come."
"Xu Qi greets you, imperial concubine Yue."
Hearing Xu Qi"s address, Mu Yunyao"s eyes moved slightly as she replied, "Miss Xu, there"s no need to be so courteous. Speaking of which, I haven"t seen you in a long time. I heard you"ve returned to Yanzhou?"
Due to the presence of the foster son of Eldest Princess Yi, Xu Fei, the two of them had addressed each other as sisters before. Now that she had called him "Empress Yue", she could only reply to Miss Xu according to her status.
"Yes. A while ago, Grandmother was severely ill. Father and I went back to fulfill our filial piety. Now that Grandmother has recovered, Father was also sent to the capital to work. I will follow her."
Mu Yunyao nodded with a slightly distant smile. After a few words with Xu Qi, she turned around to look at Grand Princess Yi De. "Grandmother, how are you feeling today?"
"Much better. Didn"t you get someone to tell you not to run around all day? In these few days, since you have to help me with matters of the palace and also come to the Qin Fang Yuan to take care of me, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight. " Seeing Mu Yunyao"s body become thinner than usual, the Grand Princess Yi De felt extremely pained.
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held her hand, smiling as she said, "Grandmother, if you want me to relax, then quickly take care of my body. Once you"ve recovered, I can feel a bit more at ease."
Grand Princess Yi De nodded. "Fine." Even though she was mentally prepared, the death of the Supreme Emperor left a deep wound in her heart. It was as if she had used up all of her strength and was unwilling to even speak. Mu Yunyao understood the thoughts of Grand Princess Yi De. Therefore, these few days she was only doing her best to take care of her, but she never tried to persuade her to hold back. Sometimes it was better to show sorrow than to hold it in.
