Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 228

[Chapter 228 King Yue Investigates Mu Yunyao]

Steward Qin thought of the content of the investigation, and he was puzzled: “My lord, do you think you want to continue the investigation?”

With all his thoughts, all of them pointed to the Su family in the capital. King Yue recalled the affairs of the Su family carefully, and his eyes suddenly trembled: “I remember that the Su family lost a child many years ago?”

“Yes, there is indeed such a thing. At that time, the Su family was not as prominent as it is now, but in order to find this lost child, the Su family spent almost all its financial resources, and even the eldest Princess Yide was alarmed. The emperor also gave him a gift. A lot of things to comfort the old lady of the Su family.”

“Uncle Qin, do you think it is possible that Mrs. Su is the lost child of the Su family?”

“My lord, do you mean that Mrs. Su is the biological daughter of the current old Mrs. Su, and the sister of Su Wenyuan?” Qin Steward was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head slightly, “It doesn’t make sense, adopt Su. Madam’s husband and wife are clearly involved with the Su family. Over the years, the Su family’s power has grown stronger and stronger. If you want to find out easily, why haven’t you found Madam Su for so many years?”

“This is indeed a suspicious point…” King Yue pondered carefully, and his mind turned quickly, “Uncle Qin, do you think Madam Su knows her life experience?”

“According to her age, Mrs. Su was still an infant when she was lost, so she should not have known her background.” If what they guessed was true, then Mrs. Su’s identity could be considered precious. Knowing his own background, how could he be willing to marry Mu Cheng, and suffer from such a long period of trouble and oppression by his mother-in-law?

King Yue lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a small wrinkle between his eyebrows: “But I always feel that Mu Yunyao seems to know about her relationship with the Su family…”

After hearing this, Steward Qin recalled it carefully, and his eyes were also uncertain: “Although it is not obvious, but there are really many unusual things in linking what happened during this period of time, especially the previous screen, which made Su The family angered the emperor Longxin not to say, but also pulled down the Spring Embroidery Workshop in one fell swoop. The Spring Embroidery Workshop is secretly closely connected with the Su family. Over the years, they have sent money to Su Wenyuan. But not so much.”

Steward Qin said, while secretly worried: “My lord, if Mrs. Su is really the lost daughter of the Su family, then Miss Mu is also the cousin of the Su family, and now Miss Mu’s father has passed away, and the family is also there. Without other relatives, the Su family is very likely to take them back…”

In this way, Miss Mu’s identity is complicated. If the prince wants to marry someone back, he has to face the Su family. As a result, it is possible that other changes will occur.

“Uncle Qin, check the cause of Mu Yunyao’s father’s death carefully, and keep an eye on the Su family in the future. If the couple who adopted Su Qing is really related to the Su family, now Madam Su and Mu Yunyao have left. Yan Village, the Su family will definitely send someone to track their whereabouts.”

“Yes.” Steward Qin looked at King Yue’s pale face, and couldn’t help but said distressedly, “Your Highness, rest first. If you have anything to do, I’ll talk about it when you’re healthy.”

“Yeah.” After Steward Qin retired, King Yue kept his brows in deep thought. Even though he was injured on his back, his back was still straight when he sat in the same place, like a pine tree growing on a cliff, nothing could make him Bend your spine: Maybe Mrs. Su doesn’t know her background, but Mu Yunyao must know something…

For the next few days, Mu Yunyao would come to Jinxiu Garden on time every day to help King Yue change dressings and bandage the wound.

King Yue always looked at her wrist and neck involuntarily. The two bruises had disappeared a lot, but the remaining marks were still obvious and distressing.

King Yue’s gaze was too oppressive, especially when his gaze swept across her neck, Mu Yunyao felt as if a trace of coolness lingered on the side of her neck, which made her ears feel a dense numbness, which was immediately followed by her neck. The skin on the side and the base of the ears turned red involuntarily.

She quickly bandaged the wound, and then quickly got up to avoid King Yue’s sight: “Fourth Master, the wound has been replaced with medicine. The next few days are especially critical. Don’t move and pull the wound away.”

“Yeah.” King Yue’s eyes became extraordinarily deep, and the blush that rose from Mu Yunyao’s neck and ears just now was caught by him, and at that moment, it was like a fine white mutton fat dyed with pink. The light made him unable to resist the urge to reach out and touch it. Once this idea came out, it made his heart beat rhythmically, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

King Yue quickly retracted his gaze and drank a cup of herbal tea with his right hand, which made him feel better: “The news that just came, someone in Kyoto brought evidence about Yangzhou City’s salt administration and passed it on to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment finished sorting it out. After the evidence, I felt that it was a big deal, so I reported the matter directly to the emperor, and when I heard that the emperor was angry, he directly ordered Li Yuanyi to be dismissed for investigation and escorted to Beijing on another day.”

“There’s news coming so soon?” Mu Yunyao was a little surprised, she thought it would take a few more days.

“Many people have been paying attention to the investigation of the salt tax, and Li Yuanyi and the salt merchants just happened to hit the knife edge.” King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao with admiration in his heart, “Speaking of which , it is considered that you have no last resort, how do you know that the salt merchants will sue Li Yuanyi directly after the matter is exposed?”

This time, the problem of salt tax inspection is particularly serious. Not only is there a huge deficit, but also salt merchants and the government colluded to deceive the court. Later, they forged evidence and falsely reported credit. In addition, the salt ship sank in the end. Coming out is enough to shake the court and the opposition, but now that so many things are accumulating, people don’t know how to intervene for a while.

Mu Yunyao had a slight smile on her face: “If I say I’m just guessing at random, and I’m not sure that the salt merchants must have left evidence to sue Li Yuanyi, is the fourth master credible?”

“I don’t believe it.” King Yue shook his head.

Mu Yunyao sighed slightly: “Then I’ll tell the truth, the evidence was originally sent to the salt merchants on purpose, with a post from the seal of the Governor’s Office of Liangjiang, a handwritten letter in Li Yuanyi’s handwriting, plus Wang Ye helped Qi Ming forged their identities, and the incidents point to the eldest prince and the Li family. The salt merchants are now unable to protect themselves. Naturally, they hope to pull the eldest prince and the Li family into the water, so as to reduce the emperor’s guilt against them. After all, according to the In the laws of my Dali Dynasty, is there a big difference between the principal and the accomplice?”

King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao attentively with a slight light in his eyes.

Mu Yunyao looked a little uncomfortable: “Why does the lord look at me like this?”
