Mu Yunyao"s heart trembled as she received the envelope and the jade pendant. After taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the envelope.
Yue Yang was standing next to Mu Yunyao, and upon seeing the contents of the letter, his pupils abruptly contracted. In the letter, Mu Cheng explained his investigation into Xu Yanhan"s background. It could be seen that he had already found out the truth, but had been killed before he could confirm it. There was one more thing that was more important. Mu Cheng was born into one of the six great families, the Mu Clan. He was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child and his birth mother was the reason …
He was sent to another village to be trapped in the backyard. Later on, when the Su Clan was destroyed, he and his mother escaped death. When his mother became seriously ill, he was taken in by the Su Clan and sent to Su Qing"s side.
She put away the letter and the jade pendant before bowing to coroner Liu, "Thank you very much, coroner Liu."
"Princess, you are being too courteous. The trust between you and your friend has been completed. I have nothing else to worry about. I will take my leave now." With that, coroner Liu turned and left.
Mu Yunyao"s expression was complex as she held the letter in her hand. "I really didn"t expect that my father was actually a descendant of the Mu family."
Duke Yue softly held Mu Yunyao in his arms. "Yao`er, there"s no need to overthink things. Things have already become a thing of the past. Living a good life is the best way to live up to Father-in-law"s wish."
Mu Yunyao nodded her head, "This letter contains my father"s background and all the things that have happened to investigate my mother"s past. It also contains everything that my father had thought over the years, and with my mother"s help, it should be able to solve the problem in my heart. She did not love the wrong person, and my father has never let her down." She was afraid that her relationship with her father for many years was also arranged by the Su Clan. Although she did not say it, from time to time, she would fall into a daze with a look of loss on her face. With this letter, she could finally put it down …
"My heart is in a knot." "Right." "Yue Yu couldn"t help but sigh, if Yun Yao didn"t investigate my real ident.i.ty, this letter would probably never reach her hands, and everything would have been carried by Mu Cheng alone," Father-in-law has been difficult these past few years. While dealing with the Su family, he also needed to investigate my mother"s background, as well as stabilize the Li family, so as to not let her see anything wrong, he also needed to scheme for a living … It could be said that every step of the way was filled with hardship. Yao Er, back then when the six n.o.ble families were wiped out, a large part of the reason was to stabilize the court. Not all of the n.o.ble families were greedy for power.
I have done many things. I can report to royal father and re-establish the Mu Clan"s ancestral hall so that Father-in-law can return to the Mu Clan … " Mu Yunyao slightly shook her head: "No need, Daddy told me about his background just to let me know about his past. Don"t misunderstand that he is a servant of the Su Family, don"t feel inferior about it. Now that I know, there"s no need to pursue the matter any further. Daddy only wants to live a peaceful life with mom
Those so-called clans have nothing to do with him, so just let him stay in Weir Village safely. "
Yue Yang was startled, but quickly nodded his head: "Alright."
The Yang family had already prepared food. After the two finished eating, they expressed their grat.i.tude and then sat in the carriage and left.
Seeing that the end of the year was nearing, Mu Yunyao felt a little anxious to return. The two of them didn"t stay any longer and instead returned to Yan City where they directly returned to the capital by boat.
On the way back, all sorts of news were being spread. The First Prince"s birth mother, Imperial Concubine Li, felt indignant after being demoted to a concubine. She thought of ways to regain the favor of the Emperor while taking revenge on the consort who had persecuted her. Having lived in the harem for so many years, she still had quite a bit of power at her disposal. For a moment, the entire harem was thrown into chaos. Today, she was going to be the imperial concubine!
If he fell, the imperial concubine would suffer a calamity tomorrow.
The emperor was infuriated. He used the Shadow Squad to investigate the imperial harem and find books that were two feet thick to record all sorts of incidents. Apart from Imperial Concubine Qi, who appeared somewhat innocent, all the other imperial concubines with slightly more status had secretly used quite a few shady methods.
It"s good that the Emperor didn"t look at it, but upon seeing it, he was almost angered to the point that his old illness returned. Luckily, Mu Yunyao had left behind enough Vitality Restoring Pills, so nothing major had happened.
The emperor ruthlessly rebuked the imperial concubines and imperial concubines, suppressing many of them. Only by doing so would the imperial harem feel slightly more at peace. When the Li family saw that Imperial Concubine Li had no hope of regaining her high position, they followed her wishes and sent the beauties to the palace. Unfortunately, even though the emperor had seen the beauties, he didn"t have the slightest intention of pampering them. However, the Lee family"s actions caused quite a commotion in the court.
Few people laughed at the Li family for being so tactless.
The envoys from the Northern Frontier were also not satisfied. When they proposed the marriage alliance, they saw that the emperor had been refusing to give in and actually indicated that the princess of the Northern Frontier was already on her way to the imperial court. They hoped that the emperor would select the candidate for the marriage alliance as soon as possible.
When Mu Yunyao saw this, she pa.s.sed the information in her hands to King Yue Yang. With a slight smile in her eyes, she asked, "Fourth Master, who do you think will be this Northern Frontier Princess?"
"Why is Yao"er suddenly so concerned about this?" I have calculated carefully, there are only four adult princes in the Emperor"s body, King Yu and you are already married, only leaving King Jin behind. As for whether Prince Jin can walk or not, there must be some plan in place to send the princess over to the Northern Frontier.
"Ah …"
Seeing Mu Yunyao squinting her eyes as she looked over, the King couldn"t help but laugh, "I am an unfavoured prince, with no one supporting me in the imperial court, and I am even avoiding the battle of power. I don"t even attend the morning a.s.sembly, I just concentrate on accompanying my princess.
Mu Yunyao snorted and cast a sidelong glance at the Winged King, "That may not be the case, but what if she doesn"t think it through?"
"The Princess of Northern Frontier is probably after second brother."
"How can you be so sure?"
"The Li family is related to the Royal families of the Northern Frontier, and the marriage would only strengthen their relationship. The benefits are not great, and right now, other than the King, only Second Brother has the most power. Whether it"s a genuine marriage alliance or having a special spy, choosing him is beneficial."
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but frown. "If the northern border really chooses King Yu, then I"m afraid that Princess Yu"s side won"t have a good time." "King Yu and Princess Yu"s relationship is so good. For them to suddenly interject a Northern Frontier Princess who couldn"t move, it really makes one feel at a loss." Second sister should have long been prepared. " Everyone had only seen the brilliance of the royal family, but they didn"t know that the imperial women had to bear and tolerate more than most people. The battles in the backyard of the mansion were invisible, but the cruelty was not worse than on the battlefield.
