Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 350



~ THE EMPEROR’S MIND IS UNPREDICTABLE ~

“I thought you Third Imperial Brother would be very busy at the moment.” Yue Wang raised the wine cup in his hand and took a sip, seeming to have some meaning to his words.

Su Wenyuan must have already asked Jin Wang for help…

“I’m just an idle person. What’s there to be busy about? But Fourth Brother, I heard that you saved Mu Yunyao’s mother at Baohua Temple?”

“It’s just a matter of effort.”

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, “I thought that Fourth Imperial Brother’s personality was cold, but to think that it turned out to be so cordial.However, Fourth Imperial Brother’s identity is a prince, countless times more precious than Miss Mu’s mother. In this way, such a dangerous situation makes people think a little bit more.”

There was no expression on Yue Wang’s face, but his gaze turned colder: “What are you thinking, Third Imperial Brother?”

“Is Fourth Imperial Brother being warm-hearted, or is he trying to prevent the beauty from feeling sad?” Jin Wang looked at Yue Wang with a smile, and his eyes were filled with a sharp glint, but he had concealed it well, to the point where it was hard to see through.

Yue Wang turned the wine cup in his hand, and the aura around him became as cold as frost: “Third Imperial Brother, you are overthinking it.”

Jin Wang suddenly broke out into a smile, “Look at what I’m saying, it’s enough to make Fourth Imperial Brother lose the mood to drink. Come, let me toast to Fourth Imperial Brother.”

Yue Wang’s cold face remained the same, “I am truly sorry. My back is injured, and the imperial physician has warned me not to drink alcohol. I will treat Third Imperial Brother to a drink some other time to apologize.”

Jin Wang’s actions faltered slightly, but there was no embarrassment on his face. He said naturally: “I was careless. Then let people serve tea. It’s the same for you and me. We’ll have tea instead of wine.”

The discussion outside continued, and the topic of conversation was still about the Su family.

“Guess who was the one who secretly instigate Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama to do something to the Su family’s Young Miss Biao?”

“How could I guess correctly? But maybe it’s the master of the Su family that instigate it.”

“What’s so hard about it? Didn’t you guys see it before? They paid a hundred silver taels to Old Wang Mama’s son, but the maidservant, who give the silver, is serving beside the Old Madam. So tell me, can there be any connection between them?”

“It is truly malicious. Even if the Su family wants to rob Miss Mu’s property, they must remain calm. Why would they make a move the moment she enters the Su family?”

“You don’t understand. It is the same principle as a thief shouting to catch a thief. But Miss Mu treated the Su family as her own relative and came to the Capital in high spirit, happy and unprepared in her heart. This way, they could naturally succeed and not cause anyone to doubt them, wouldn’t they? After all, the conflict was started by the ligitimate daughter of the Meng family at that time, and it could have been her fault to be blamed for the trouble.”

“That makes sense....”

“Isn’t the young miss from the Meng family become the scapegoat?”

“That’s because of her overbearing and domineering attitude. If she was safe and sound, how would she have given others such an opportunity?”

After the news reached the Imperial Palace, the Emperor directly granted Shen Binghuai’s request and made him responsible for investigating this matter.

“Imperial Elder Sister, do you think the Su family really can’t explain this clearly?” After seeing Shen Binghuai, the Emperor went straight to Yuhua Palace to see Grand Princess Yi De. As the two of them played chess, they talked about this matter.

Grand Princess Yi De gently settled down. “In the Capital, great events are occurring every day. On the other hand,for the Su Family, this is the first time something like this has happened. Even though everything has gone smoothly for so many years for the Su family, and their performance was too good, but it actually seemed a bit fake.”

In the past, Su Wenyuan had been very meticulous in his work. But in these past two years, he had gradually leaned towards the Third Prince and no longer paid much attention to do proper business.” The Emperor harrumphed coldly in his heart. The officials below him always thought that he was unaware of their petty tricks. However, he merely did not think about it. The officials in the court only had a few ministers in the Imperial Court. How could he not understand their movements and what was going on?

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled but didn’t say anything. She seemed to focus all her attention on the chessboard. “If Imperial Brother doesn’t concentrate, you will lose.”

The Emperor quickly looked at the chessboard. The black piece in his hand had already been cut apart by the white piece. “It seems that I am really not good at chess. Back then, when Imperial Elder Sister taught me how to play chess, she said that my talent was limited.”

“You still remember all those years?”

“Of course, I remember it clearly. My ability to play chess was taught to me personally by Imperial Elder Sister.”

“Then why don’t you remember that I praised you for your courage and foresight?” Grand Princess Yi De said with a smile as she slowly packed up the chess pieces.

The Emperor helped to pick up a few pieces, and his face gradually turned more dignified. “Imperial Elder Sister, does Fourth Prince plan to not return to Western Guangdong this time around?”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s movements paused, and then she raised her eyes, sighing softly, “That’s right. It is hard for Jun Yue to stay outside for eight years because of the bitter cold in western Guangdong, so he should stay in the Capital and enjoy the blessing himself.”

“Imperial Elder Sister, other people might not know, but you know how bitter my heart is. Every time I look at Fourth Prince, I think of Rou’er ... What happened in those years ... After all, I was the one who let her down....”

The Grand Princess Yi De took the Emperor’s hand and said, “From a husband’s point of view, you have indeed let her down. But you are not only her husband, but also the Emperor of the Dali Dynasty! Therefore, your decision was not wrong, and she can understand it as well!”

The Emperor’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. Twenty years had passed, but when he thought of his queen, the pain still pierced through his heart.

All these years, not only did the guilt in his heart not disappear over time. But instead, it accumulated deeper and deeper, to the point that unable to face Jun Yue every time he saw that child.

“Imperial Brother, you have already avenged Rou’er. She is in the spirit of heaven, so she should rest in peace. But that kid, Jun Yue, is really pitiful. He was arranged by you to be in Western Guangdong for 8 years. It can be said that he has suffered a lot. From today onwards …” “Imperial Elder Sister, I understand what you mean, but every time I see Jun Yue, I think of Rou’er, and my heart seems to be on fire. It makes me feel restless and in pain. All my internal organs seem to be on the verge of burning. I really couldn’t face the child ... So I still need to ask Imperial ELder Sister to help me take care of him more....”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes reddened slightly. “Why are you doing this again? Alright, don’t think about the past anymore. We are already old, look forward desperately as we don’t know how long we’ll be able to hold on for. Imperial Elder Sister just hopes that you won’t regret anything.”

“After so many years, there are some things that I can only tell you, Imperial Elder Sister. Fortunately, Imperial Elder Sister is here. Otherwise, my heart would have exploded with depression long ago.”

The Grand Princess Yi De passed a silk handkerchief over and said, “You speak so nicely of the Su family, yet it makes you think of such a sorrowful matter. You’re already an old man, so quickly wipe away your tears to prevent others from laughing.”

The Emperor quickly took it over for a while, then calmed down: “Speaking of the Su family, it’s good to teach them a lesson. It’s also a good time to warn the other ministers in the Imperial Court that I’m not dead yet, so they don’t have to hurry to find a new master to stand in line.”

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly lowered her eyes, and the corner of her lips curved up into a gentle smile. “Do you want another round?”

“Alright, what does Imperial Elder Sister want my third son to do this time....”
