Chapter 146 Complaining Behind the Scenes
Amid the dazzling brilliance, the Zhaoyi Palace has clear outlines and appears even more magnificent.
Mu Rong bowed and took a seat. Just as she was about to offer some advice, she heard a loud shout from outside.
"Emperor Jin Wang Long Riding!"
Mu Yan and Mu Rong looked at each other in shock.
Why is he here?
Both of them were puzzled, and they stood up one after another, walked away quickly, and bowed respectfully.
"Welcome King Dijin Wan'an."
Yan Yu passed by slowly, gave a light hand, and went straight away, his brocade robe fluttering freely, and he sat quietly on the seat.
"Be flat."
"Give me a seat."
After expressing their gratitude, Mu Yan and Mu Rong sat down on the side seats.
Yan Yu's amber eyes were hard to approach, and she looked indifferent and majestic.
"I like to speak directly. If I have offended you, please forgive me, my dear sister-in-law."
Mu Yan nodded when he heard this and smiled politely in return.
"I am terrified. Your Majesty, just give me your orders."
The palace maid came over observing the situation and after serving tea, Yan Yu waved her hand and sent her away.
In the huge main hall, there were only three of them and Gao Jing left.
Yan Yu then spoke in a deep voice.
"Princess Yuexi, please be silent on the copper platform. This king knows that you are ready to make a move, and I want to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"You have never had the power to decide the life and death of my people."
Mu Yan's eyes were filled with resentment and sadness, her hairpins were made of jade and emerald green, and her figure was so beautiful that it was beyond praise.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"If you have an old broom at home, you can enjoy it as much as a thousand gold coins."
"Although Xi'er is willful, I and my sister love her very much. We have cherished her for many years and have absolutely no intention of taking her life, let alone treating her like a worthless person."
"Who is it that dares to speak nonsense in front of the prince?"
"The rain and dew are so kind that a hundred springs flow forth. How can parents repay their parents? I, your sister, love and care for Xi'er, and have given her almost everything. Yet this person maliciously slanders her. Where is his conscience?"
"I hope Your Majesty will understand."
Yan Yu just thought it was a joke, and a hint of contempt appeared on his lips.
"I have never seen your love and care, but my sister-in-law's humor is obvious to all."
"I came here today to remind you how Lord Mu got the position of Tinghe Cheng. Do you know the answer?"
Mu Yan's expression of sadness suddenly disappeared.
"This……"
Mu Rong's face was also embarrassed.
Yan Yu signaled Gao Jing to take out a book of evidence.
"It seems that you all know it well."
"I have evidence, but I have not released it yet because I am concerned that you are all Yuexi's family members and I don't want to do anything too extreme."
"Now, if you are one step ahead and disregard family affection, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Mu Erchen and Ning Fengzhe colluded internally and externally to secretly manipulate the results of the provincial governor's examination. If this matter were to be made public, the careers of both of them would be ruined."
"Please think twice before you act, sister-in-law."
After reading the evidence, Mu Yan stood up and bowed without saying a word.
"I remembered an important matter that I need to resolve with my sister."
"This is about the Emperor, I dare not neglect it."
"Please wait for a moment, Prince Di Jin. I will be back soon."
Yan Yu naturally understood what she meant and nodded in agreement.
"Since it is my brother's business, I should respect it."
"Just go, sister-in-law."
So they went to the side hall and started discussing.
Mu Rong's face was already pale. After sitting down, she sighed deeply.
"My fourth brother is my father's old age gift, and I love him dearly."
"Compared to my fourth brother's future, Ning Yunxi's life is insignificant. Besides, if father gets angry and something happens to him, it will be even worse."
"It seems that this matter can only be dropped."
Mu Yan also sighed, looking depressed and unhappy.
"Given Fengzhe's background, it is legitimate for him to ascend the throne. After we support Prince Chen, we will still rely on Fengzhe to control the government and seize power."
"Once this incident comes out, he will be accused of private dealings. How can Fengzhe still rule the world?"
"I know that you value Fengzhe, and his career must not be ruined by Ning Yunxi."
"But Wei'er is trapped in Tongshitai, and her life is in danger. What should we do?"
Mu Rong beat her heart and stamped her feet.
"Oh, this child is so worrying."
Mu Yan thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"She risked her life to protect me. After careful consideration, I think Ning Yunxi might be able to protect her."
Mu Rong sighed and shed tears in loneliness.
"I know very well that with Ning Yunxi here, she will be fine."
"but……"
"You and I watched from the sidelines while Ning Yunxi came to the rescue. How will Wei'er view us as her family members after she comes out?"
"Feng'er has already betrayed me. If I lose Wei'er, how will I live?"
"Let Ning Yunxi do whatever he wants. Isn't it Fengzhe's turn to be the next person to cause discord?"
"She is determined to make me suffer the pain of being deserted by everyone!"
Mu Yan couldn't calm down and frowned in anger.
"The four of us, siblings, dote on her. Can you imagine how many adopted children in the world could be raised with such respect and carefreeness as she is?"
"How could you raise such a heartless person?"
"It seems that the saying 'a good son is born under the stick' is not completely without reason."
Mu Rong followed suit and complained.
"It's really unfortunate to meet an adopted daughter like her."
"When I have some free time, I think about it. I just envy other families. They adopt children and give them a piece of candy. The adopted children will repay them with ten thousand gold coins. When the family is in trouble, they will go through fire and water to help them."
Mu Yan agreed.
"Not only that, those adopted children love and care for their brothers and sisters, and are even more considerate than their parents."
"When brothers and sisters get married, which adopted son or daughter won't run around and subsidize the gift money? Not only do they contribute money, but they also contribute their labor and enjoy it."
"She is nothing like that. She thinks she has personality, but in fact, she is not sensible at all."
"Only a small amount of gift money was given to Feng'er for her wedding. He wanted to give as much as ordinary guests. He is really stingy."
"Isn't she just resenting you for taking away all the gift money when she got married?"
"The storehouse in Prince Chen's mansion is really not safe, so you are keeping it for her. It is not embezzlement. Why doesn't she understand your good intentions?"
"Even if you were corrupt, you did it to support a wise ruler and for the people of the world. What was her purpose in opening a clinic? If it was really for the sake of saving the world as she said, then isn't that the same goal as ours?"
"It can be seen that she is not kind-hearted and kind-hearted."
"She is a person who has no filial piety, loves to bear grudges, and is also a traitor to the world. Coupled with her deep scheming, she is simply a treacherous and evil person."
"We are just too kind and don't care about anything, which is why we spoiled her and made her lawless!"
The two sisters complained enough and calmed down, so Mu Rong finally gave in and admitted defeat.
"Oh, forget it. Since King Di Jin has come forward, let's put this matter aside for now."
"Being loyal to the Yan clan is our duty."
"What do you think, Sister Imperial Concubine?"
Mu Yan made an excuse and stepped down.
"Since you are willing to let them go, I will naturally be reluctant."
"Considering that he is the emperor's sworn brother, and that Xi'er is a member of our family, children are willful and adults must give in to them. Let them be."
Mu Rong stood up and saluted, flattering with a forced smile.
"Sister Imperial Concubine is very understanding and righteous. I admire you very much."
