Chapter 700
Many officials were enraged. They were not because of Wang Yue, but because they felt that the people of Northern Frontier were playing with them, insulting the dignity of the imperial family.
"Nonsense! His Highness King Yue is the prince of the Great Tang Dynasty, and Ning Junjin is just a bastard. He wants the prince to take his place and marry him. Thanks to you, the Northern Frontier has finally opened your mouth!"
"Indeed, you're boasting shamelessly. Previously, when you suddenly proposed to continue the engagement, you thought that you would keep your promises. Now, it seems that you're just looking for an excuse to humiliate us. Such thoughts are truly shameful!"
"Your majesty, this request is extremely rude. Your majesty, please examine it." This is why the customs of the people, if the Emperor and the other lords do not believe it, they can investigate it among the people. Although the identities of Duke Fu and Ning Jun Jin are vastly different, there is no doubt that they are related by blood, and furthermore, the reason why Prince Fei Wang took the place of Ning Jun Jin and married his concubine was not for the sake of this bastard, but to resolve the evil aura of the Emperor.
"
When the emperor sitting on the throne heard this, his expression didn't change, but his eyes darkened instead. "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
King Yue's voice was cold and his expression respectful: "I will listen to Your Majesty's orders."
The emperor frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Although this is a bit absurd, but for the sake of the imperial court, I might have to inconvenience Fourth Brother."
Yue Yang looked up, as though he couldn't believe it. He then bowed his head to pay his respects, "... "Yes, your servant obeys the decree."
"King Yue is thinking for the Royal Family. Last time, it was a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand pearls …" The emperor's expression eased a bit. He was very satisfied with the way things were going with the Emperor, and his rewards were especially bountiful as well. The ministers of the imperial court looked at each other, many of them firm in their hearts, the emperor seemed to have really started to suppress Yue Yang. Previously, they had realized that something was amiss and had thought that it was just an illusion. After all, the Emperor's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the late emperor.
The army was completely loyal to the Emperor. They all thought that this pair of brothers would become legends and legends like the late emperor and Grand Princess Yi De. They never thought that the emperor would be busy suppressing King Yue not long after he ascended the throne.
After the assembly ended, many officials walked out together, still discussing in hushed tones.
"Your majesty's actions are really unfathomable. I wonder how King Fu can endure it." As a prince, he had to take the place of a dead man to get married. Even as brothers, they were completely at a loss.
"Who can say for sure what the emperor is thinking. However, Princess Titan is the granddaughter of the imperial concubine of the imperial concubine. Now that the imperial prince is forced to go to the chapel in place of Ning Junjin, wouldn't it cause a ruckus?"
"The Emperor isn't the previous Emperor. Although he respects the Grand Princess, he won't listen to every word he says. Besides, this time, the Northern Frontier is involved, so in order to not let the outsiders see the joke, the previously reputable Grand Princess won't go against the Emperor. After all, the Emperor has already agreed."
"... Logically speaking, even if he wanted to replace Ning Jun with his own brother to get married, shouldn't Ning Jun be the most suitable candidate? In any case, that person has also been demoted to a concubine, so it's a good opportunity to use him for the last time. He can also humiliate the northern border in this way, but why did the Emperor choose the King of the Wings … "
"Stop talking, be careful of the wall."
When Jin Qiao heard the news, she was so shocked that she froze on the spot. It took her a while to react before she turned around and ran towards the wangfei's backyard.
Jin Lan was carefully helping Mu Yunyao spread the medicine. Seeing Jin Qiao run in, she hurriedly reminded her, "Princess is here, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Jinqiao panicked in her heart, as she felt that Mu Yunyao saying such a thing would definitely make her unhappy. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan to stop and raised her eyes to look over. "Jinqiao, although your temper is lively, you won't be so disorderly. But what big thing has happened?"
"Princess... "Servant …" "Your servant heard that …" When she saw Mu Yunyao slightly frown, she kneeled down and tried her best to keep her voice steady, "I heard that the prince of the Northern Frontier has requested to marry the Northern Frontier Princess in place of Ji Junjin in accordance with the customs and customs of the imperial court."
Mu Yunyao's fingers trembled as she subconsciously retracted her fist. The recently smeared Peach Blossom instantly fainted. "Marry the Northern Princess?"
"Princess, according to the customs of the people, when you become a Yin bride, you need someone close to the blood of the deceased to pay your respects. I presume that's what the Northern Frontier meant." Jin Lan hurriedly interrupted, "Princess, according to the customs of the people, when you become a Yin bride, you need someone close to the blood of the dead to pay respects.
Jin Qiao was stunned. She then realized that her words were too misleading and quickly nodded. "Miss, I meant what Jinlan was saying. I meant it in place of Ning Junjin to complete the wedding."
Mu Yunyao relaxed between her eyebrows, but her expression was still the same, "You guys can leave first, I'll be alone for a while."
Just as she finished speaking, another maid came in to report. "Esteemed wangfei, the empress has sent in an imperial decree inviting you to enter the palace at once."
Mu Yunyao stood up and walked over to the water basin to the side. She slowly washed the pancakes off her nails and replied with a slightly cold voice, "I understand." "Esteemed wangfei, the empress has announced you as entering the palace …" The Emperor had just slapped the face of the Prince, making him take the place of Ning Junjin to pay homage to a bastard. The Prince had yet to return to the palace, and had already summoned the Princess, clearly not wanting to put any pressure on her …
"Prepare the carriage, I will make a trip to the palace. If Your Highness returns, just tell me the truth."
"Yes."
When Mu Yunyao entered the palace, many of those who were watching the Duke of Yue's residence immediately knew. They couldn't help but think of the emperor and the empress's motives.
At this moment, in Zhaoyang Palace, Mu Yunyao was brought before the empress. She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, esteemed empress."
"The Fourth Sister-in-Law is here. Stand up." "The reason why I called you over today is to tell you about Fourth Brother's matter. The Emperor asked him to take the place of Ning Junjin and the Princess of the Northern Frontier, Helian Lili, to pay her respects. You should know about it, right?"
"Yes, I've already heard about it."
"This matter is related to the Northern Frontier and the Da Lei Empire. You have always understood the situation, so you should have no other opinions, right?"
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes. "Esteemed Empress, I have heard of the customs of the people, but I don't think that only Demon King Yue is a brother of Ning Junjin's. He's the eldest brother, so it's most appropriate to pick him. " The empress frowned, and the palace maids lowered their heads, trying to hold their breath. The empress paused for a moment, then waved her hand for the palace maid to leave.
