Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 474

King Yu could not help but twitch his mouth when he saw King Yue's serious look. Did he really think that he was an idiot that could not see through him? However, if it were an ordinary family, then it would have been fine. Yunyao was the granddaughter of imperial aunt, and she had a seniority difference from her own fourth brother. He had to think of a way to persuade her …

If this angered royal father, then it would be detrimental to Fourth Brother.

Mu Yunyao followed King Yue to the study, and Eunuch Cheng brought over a charcoal bowl and fragrant tea, placing them by Mu Yunyao's side. "Young miss, do you want to try this fragrant tea brewing method? I gave you some tips for making tea, so I went back to practice for a long time. "

The tea was almost finished. Luckily, it wasn't wasted and was given to Yu Heng and the other guards to drink. The only serious consequence was that those kids would cover their stomachs and run to the toilet whenever they saw him.

King Yue looked at King Yu: "Second brother, didn't you say just now that you would enter the palace to pay respects to royal father? It should be about time now. "

King Yu smiled, "There's no rush. We can go back later."

Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her lips. "When I came here just now, I heard Grandmother mumbling about Second Uncle. She said that it's been a long time since I've seen you and paid respects to you at the Grand Princess's estate."

King Yu could not help but widen his eyes. These two people were not diligent in finding excuses and were obviously trying to chase him away.

"After I enter the palace and pay my respects to my father, I shall pay a visit to the Grand Princess's Mansion."

"That's a pity. Grandmother saw Old Lady Chu today and heard that Miss Min also came with her. If Prince Yu went over to pay his respects now, he might even meet her." As soon as he and Min Fanghua, the first granddaughter of Elder Min and the first daughter of Elder Min, were engaged, the emperor's empress dowager's funeral arrived. The second prince's eyes lit up; as soon as he and Min Fanghua were engaged, he met the empress dowager's funeral and could only postpone the wedding.

There was a smile in King Yue's eyes as he said, "Second brother, hurry up and go. There's no rush in paying respects to royal father."

"That's fine too, I miss my imperial aunt too. It's just right for me to go pay my respects."

After King Yu left in a hurry, the smile in King Yue's eyes vanished. "Yunyao, you came in a hurry. Your expression isn't that good either. Did something important happen?"

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips. After recalling the matter from her memories, her first reaction was to come here and discuss with the King. She didn't consider whether he believed her or not. What would she think after hearing his words?

The Titan King saw that her gaze was wavering and her face showed hesitation, quietly waiting at the side.

After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally made up her mind. "Your Highness, I … I have something to say, and you may find it unthinkable, but... "

"Yunyao, there's no need to be like this between us, I don't believe in anyone, but I definitely do believe in you, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."

"For the past few days, I've been feeling uneasy. At night, I always had nightmares about a flood in Riverside City. Afterwards, the ship that was transporting the silver and taxes sank directly into the river, causing all the silver and taxes to fall into the water and disappear without a trace."

King Yue suddenly raised his head. "Riverside City's flood?" When the incident had happened in her previous life, she had been struggling to survive in the Su palace. Su Yuyi had taken the lead and donated two taels of silver to provide food to the victims and had obtained a great reputation for them. Later on, she had helped Su Yuyi set up a banquet and she had been asked to attend.

A flood had been born, a large amount of salt tax and silver had been washed away, people along the coast had been displaced, and a large number of victims had flooded into the capital.

Initially, she only heard it once before the incident at the National Protector Temple where she almost lost her life. As a result, she had forgotten about this matter. Before Riverside River broke through, the weather was exceptionally sultry for a period of time. Later on, when the matter of the river breaking through came about, many people said that the weather was abnormal, but the heavens were warning them otherwise. Unfortunately, no one looked at it.

I understand.

Yue Yang involuntarily stood up, and started pacing back and forth in the study.

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze and quietly waited at the side. She was waiting for King Yue's response. She could only bring this matter up in a dream. She did not know how much King Yue would believe. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, King Yue suddenly stopped, "Yunyao, this matter is too important, we need to consider it further. The river waters are vast, and every February when the ice melts, spring floods will occur.

"This year should be no different from the previous years, with the river having burst its banks and washed away a large amount of salt tax. No matter how you look at it, this is not normal."

Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her eyes, "Your Highness believes what I say?"

"How could I not believe it?" Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes filled with trust and resolution. "I already said, as long as you speak, I will believe you. Moreover, this matter is extremely important, so you definitely won't joke around."

Mu Yunyao felt the warmth in her heart dissipate as she quickly looked away, "Then has Your Highness thought of a way to deal with this?"

"Since we've finished cleaning up the place, we've spent so much time and manpower and material resources. It's about time for us to use some of our resources. It's most likely due to the Jiangnan salt tax, so let's start with the salt tax."

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly. "The Jiangnan salt tax is far too important, and it is beyond our reach. It would be difficult for us to shake up the many salt merchants in Jiangnan with just our power. It would be better to find another way and find someone to make an opening for us."

Yue Yang stopped in his tracks and turned around, "What you mean is … Investigator Yang Lian? " Mu Yunyao nodded. "That's right, doesn't Your Highness feel that everything is too coincidental? The news spread that there was a problem with the salt tax in Jiangnan, and soon after, the two river envoys, Yang Lian and Su Jin returned to the capital. We suspect that the silver in Prince Jin's hands is not the right amount, so we find Yang Lian and Jin.

Wang Youjiu... There's always a reason, and I don't believe that there are so many coincidences. "

"Father recently intended to restart the Su Family, and praised Yang Lian, the investigator of the two rivers. He wanted to transfer him to the Department of Revenue to temporarily replace Su Wenyuan, who retired as the Minister of Government."

"Minister of the Department?" Mu Yunyao was puzzled. The office president had just taken his letter from Su Wenyuan and now he was going to hand it to Su Jin's husband, Yang Lian. Wasn't this the same as swapping his left hand to his right?

Yue Yang saw her frown and his expression turned serious: "Recently, our Great Emperor and the Third Emperor have been fighting with each other. Prince Jin was defeated in battles and even though he proposed the method to reform Qu Li, he was still unable to gain much momentum." Even if the previous incident had had an impact on the Prince of Jin, it would not have caused his men to be unable to lift their heads, unless … Prince Jin did it on purpose? "
