Chapter 286 The Mu Family is Back
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March 18. On this day, the sun is shining brightly, with no clouds in the sky, as if even the heavens know that today is a special day.
Early in the morning, Yun Yuxi was still immersed in sleep when Yan Wuque gently pulled her out of bed. With Banxia's careful dressing, she looked particularly energetic.
"Girl, I can't accompany you to the south of the city today. I will send someone to protect you. Please be careful. I have something very important to deal with today." Yan Wuque said softly with a hint of apology in his eyes.
Yun Yuxi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes. You should be more careful and bring more people with you when you go out. The emperor from the south city is also going today, so he naturally brought people to protect him. Don't worry, I will protect myself and the children. I want to eat the osmanthus cake from East Street, so bring me some when you come back." She pretended to be relaxed, not wanting to make him worry.
"Try today's porridge. What's different? You've lost weight recently. I feel so sorry for you that I specially asked a chef to prepare this porridge." Yan Wuque said in a doting tone, his eyes full of concern.
Banxia, who was serving on the side, couldn't help but eat a mouthful of dog food when she saw how affectionate the two were, but she was sincerely happy for them in her heart.
Yun Yuxi's eyes lit up after taking a mouthful of porridge. The porridge tasted like meat, but without the fishy smell of meat at all. It was very delicious, yet she couldn't taste the meat, which greatly increased her appetite.
Yan Wuque nodded with satisfaction, then turned and went to the study.
"Master, Qinghu sent back a message that the people of the Mu family have been found, but the head of the Mu family is not as healthy as before. They are almost in Kyoto, but they have been ambushed on the way. We haven't found out which force they are. The other party seems to be from the underworld, and we haven't caught them alive so far," Xiaoliu reported while kneeling on one knee.
"Got it. Go down and call Ling Er over." Yan Wuque ordered. Xiao Liu quickly disappeared into the study. Not long after, Ling Er, dressed in black, landed outside the study quietly. Only Yan Wuque's cold voice could be heard: "Come in!"
Ling Er pushed open the door, entered the study, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and waited for Yan Wuque's instructions.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Ling Er asked respectfully.
Yan Wuque nodded to signal him to stand up, and then said: "Get up, go and prepare the people, and follow me out of the city to welcome Qinghu at any time. In addition, send someone to the south of the city to protect the princess, and at the same time, let the housekeeper go to the Mu family to clean up the yard. Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and the princess must not know."
Ling Er was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, I will do it right away. However..."
Yan Wuque frowned and looked at Ling Er unhappily, wondering why this guy suddenly became so talkative.
"explain."
Ling Er hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "Master, the Mu family's yard has been empty for a long time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean it up in a short time. Otherwise, let the housekeeper arrange for the Mu family to live in our palace first, which will also make the princess happier."
After hearing this, Yan Wuque couldn't help but look at Ling Er with new eyes. He didn't expect that a man who was born as a secret guard could understand the ways of the world and consider everything so carefully. So, he nodded and agreed: "Well, then do as you say. As long as you can make the princess happy, I will reward you handsomely."
Ling Er was delighted to receive the affirmation and quickly responded: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty! I will do my best to protect the princess!" After that, he turned and left, and began to arrange various matters.
Ling Er whistled happily, thinking that Ling Yi was still far-sighted. He followed the princess to eat spicy food and drink delicious drinks, which made his brothers envious. The key point was that Ling Yi and Yue Lan were doing well. As a single dog, he saw that all the princess' maids were pretty and was thinking about them. It seemed that it would be important to curry favor with the princess in the future, otherwise his road to chasing her would be long!
There was a cheer in the south of the city, waiting for Yun Yuxi's arrival. Emperor Su Wen in the palace came out of the morning court, and led the civil and military officials to the south of the city. People on the road knelt down and worshiped him, shouting "Long live Yun Yuxi!"
Emperor Suwen's heart was surging with emotion. He remembered that he had always been loved by the people, and this feeling made him feel extremely warm and comforted. At this moment, he was in a particularly happy mood, with a bright smile on his face, and he looked radiant.
Under Yuelan's careful care, Yun Yuxi finally arrived at the south of the city. Many enthusiastic people had already gathered here, and they couldn't wait to rush forward to greet Yun Yuxi. Yun Yuxi knew that these people were full of expectations and trust in her, but they were afraid of accidentally hurting the baby in her belly, so she carefully responded to every greeting and responded to everyone with the same enthusiasm.
Not long after, Emperor Su Wen led the civil and military officials to the scene. The people knelt down to salute, and Ji Lanchen carefully arranged the personnel from Black Wind Ridge to take charge of the security work to ensure the safety and order of the event. Emperor Su Wen was invited to climb a pre-built high platform, overlooking the black crowd below, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in his heart.
"Long live the emperor!" The people shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky. Emperor Suwen was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He could hardly believe what he saw. The once dilapidated, poor and backward south of the city has now been completely transformed into a place full of vitality and hope. The people looked at Emperor Suwen eagerly, hoping that he could distribute resources fairly and justly.
Yun Yuxi handed a detailed plan to the eunuch Liu, who presented it to Emperor Suwen respectfully. After receiving the plan, Emperor Suwen read it carefully.
The more he read, the more excited he became, and he secretly admired it. This plan was not only well-considered, but also feasible, fully demonstrating Yun Yuxi's wisdom and talent. He was very satisfied and thought that such a plan was exactly what he wanted.
After careful consideration, Emperor Suwen felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan, so he decided to announce the results directly according to the plan.
The people held their breath and listened attentively to Emperor Suwen's speech. The first to be allocated houses were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were grateful and their eyes were filled with tears of happiness.
Those who did not get a house felt a little disappointed, but since Emperor Su Wen was there, no one dared to cause trouble. They looked at Emperor Su Wen eagerly, and Emperor Su Wen felt very uncomfortable, so he promised that he would make sure that everyone had a house to live in. The people praised Emperor Su Wen as wise and powerful.
Emperor Su Wen glanced at Yun Yuxi and said, "Yun Yuxi, the construction of the south city will be left to you from now on. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Your Majesty, there are difficulties, the main one being money. Most of the money has been spent on this first batch of houses, Your Majesty, look," Yun Yuxi said without feeling embarrassed at all.
Emperor Su Wen wanted to die. He didn't expect that Yun Yuxi would ask him for money in public. He couldn't refuse as thousands of people were watching!
"The issue of silver will be paid by the court. This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. You, the Minister of Revenue, will be in charge," Emperor Suwen immediately passed the buck to the Ministry of Revenue.
In public, the Minister of Revenue was too embarrassed to offend Emperor Suwen, so he could only nod reluctantly. Yun Yuxi smiled with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired. I'll go back first. I'll take my leave," Yun Yuxi greased her feet and prepared to leave.
"Yun Yuxi, good job, you took advantage of me and ran away." Before Emperor Su Wen finished speaking, Yun Yuxi's shadow disappeared...
Emperor Suwen was so depressed. He didn't expect to be tricked by Yun Yuxi again.
In a house in the east of the city, Yan Wuque, dressed as a ghost-faced devil, met the patriarch of the Mu family and revealed his identity. Only then did the old man of the Mu family realize that his granddaughter had grown up to such a state.
"Don't worry, Yu'er is pregnant, I will protect her. Tomorrow, Yu'er and I will take you back to the palace. The Mu family's house has been in disrepair for many years, so you can go to the palace first," Yan Wuque invited warmly.
“No, I’m afraid someone will cause trouble. Don’t let the girl know for now. Wait until things are settled, then tell her that she is pregnant and can’t stand the trouble. The emperor doesn’t know we are back yet, so the court won’t go to court for the time being.” The old man of the Mu family refused to go to the palace.
