Chapter 244
"I heard that the dogs went mad because of the cruelty of Shen Yue's two children. They are so young yet so ruthless. They deserve their fate."
Yun Xiyue's tense shoulders relaxed. "Your Majesty is wise."
Murong Yu showed no intention of leaving, and it was unclear what he had come for.
"I heard that the Emperor has ordered an investigation into corruption in military pay?" Yun Xiyue washed her hands, brewed tea, and brought it over.
"It's not that I want to investigate. It's that someone has impeached me." Murong Yu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his brows slowly relaxed. "However, the Qin family did indeed embezzle funds."
"The Qin family's corruption does not mean that the King of Qin was corrupt."
Murong Yu laughed and said, "Are you in such a hurry because of Princess Qin?"
"This is just my personal opinion. The King of Qin holds military power, which inevitably attracts jealousy, so some people are targeting other members of the Qin family. And with him at the border, how could he have time to care about the Qin family?"
Murong Yu glanced at her. "So, according to you, we shouldn't investigate?"
Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I was just saying it casually. Please pretend you didn't hear it."
"But you interfered in this matter." The man's tone was somewhat displeased.
The teacup was placed on the table with a dull thud, a sound like a drumbeat striking her heart.
"emperor......"
"I did visit the Fu Rui Lou restaurant today to meet the eldest son of the Qi family, but it was only to discuss a business deal. Your Majesty said that I was involved in this matter. What makes you say that? I am just a merchant. I only do business and do not interfere in court affairs, nor do I understand these matters."
Murong Yu smiled slightly, "Then why did you go to see him secretly and come back sneaking around?"
Yun Xiyue said, "I claimed to be ill to avoid being disturbed. But if I went out right after claiming to be ill, it wouldn't be good if people found out. So I had to keep up the act, didn't I?"
"Pretending? Miss Yun is indeed cunning and incredibly audacious!"
Yun Xiyue clenched her fists, not understanding why he was angry. "Your Majesty, what have I done wrong? Can you tell me clearly?"
"Hmph, figure it out yourself!"
The man got up, picked up a book from the bookshelf, and then lay down in the rocking chair, as if to say that he wouldn't leave until she figured it out.
Just then, word came from outside that Granny Zhen had arrived.
Yun Xiyue was immediately alarmed. "Your Majesty, could you please hide first?"
Murong Yu's expression darkened slightly. "Where are you hiding?"
"In the closet." Yun Xiyue pulled him to the wardrobe, but he was too tall to squeeze in.
If the wardrobe doesn't work, then hide under the covers.
Lower the bed curtains to cover the area.
"Shh!"
Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly, signaling her to hurry up.
Yunxi Yue noticed that he was unhappy.
We can only go and come back quickly.
As she turned and stepped out from behind the screen, Granny Zhen entered. "Greetings, Miss."
"Granny, is Sister Xiao feeling better?" Yun Xiyue hurriedly led her outside to talk. Murong Yu was already very dissatisfied with her interference in the investigation of military funds, and if he heard about it...
She confessed without being asked.
If he were to convict himself of deceiving the emperor, he would be finished.
Granny Zhen came to confirm once again whether the Qi family would go back on their word. Yun Xiyue reassured her that she could rest assured before she went back home.
"I want to rest. No one is allowed near the attic." After giving the order, Yun Xiyue quickly went inside and closed the door.
"Your Majesty, it's done."
The person sat up from under the bed curtains, but did not come out.
Yunxi Yue stepped forward and hung up the bed curtains.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly grabbed her arm.
In the blink of an eye, she collapsed onto the bed, and the man leaned down, looking down at her with disdain. "Didn't you say you didn't interfere? What does Granny Zhen want with you?"
"Sister Xiao fell ill from anger. I sent someone to inquire after her, but Sister Xiao was afraid I would worry, so she sent Granny Zhen to put my mind at ease."
"Your Majesty, I heard from Sister Xiao that you, Prince Qin, and she grew up together since childhood. You are younger than them, but you have always had a very good relationship. You even saved Prince Qin on the battlefield in the past."
