The Emperor ordered the Third Prince to be confined and didn't smile for several days in the imperial court. The officials below only chose a few words of praise to report, while the others could be delayed for a moment.
The commoners, on the other hand, were in high spirits. They did not feel the depression of the imperial court at all.
This time, although River Ripple implicated three cities, causing the deaths of many citizens, the final result was a joyous event for them. Because after this disaster, they no longer had to worry about the effects of the plague. After finding out that the plague was caused by Wen Xian handing it to the emperor, many commoners went to burn incense and kowtow at the gates of the neon city. Especially in the morning, when many officials went to court, they would purposely avoid the streets where the neon city was located because there were simply too many commoners.
Table, car and horse traffic is inconvenient.
Soon after, Jiangnan's Ten Thousand People Umbrella was delivered to the capital. There were nine of them in total, and after they were opened, they were densely packed with people's names, blotting out the sun and covering the sky.
The emperor had his people place the umbrella on the square in front of the golden palace. When the officials came to the imperial court, they could see it with a single glance. They could only feel their hearts tremble.
Because of the support of the people, the Emperor, who had always been in a gloomy mood, finally smiled.
In the afternoon, Mu Yunyao got someone to transport the silver that they had exchanged into to the palace.
The emperor looked at the chests that were sent to him and couldn't help but smile."It's only been a month, but I've earned so much silver?"
Mu Yunyao nodded, unable to conceal the pleased expression on her face."Your majesty, this 16, 000 taels is for you. There's still 16, 000 taels for Grandmother. I've already arranged the account books, do you want your majesty to personally inspect them?"
"There's no need. I naturally can trust you when you do things." The emperor looked at the boxes of silver coins and felt a sense of novelty."I heard that some time ago, the commoners often went to the vicinity of the neon cloud bazaar to offer incense to the guests, causing them to be unable to enter. Is the situation better now?" Hearing this, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but frown."Speaking of this matter, Yunyao wanted to ask the Emperor for help. Because the people often gather around the Nebula Market, I can only close the shop temporarily. I've lost quite a bit of money these days. Your Majesty, you don't know. The people went to offer incense, and the whole street was covered in smoke. Along the way, we had to change our clothes, and I had people try to persuade them a few times, but they still wouldn't listen. The clothes sold in the Nebula Market were all made of clothes, and no matter how beautiful the clothes were, they would still carry the scent of smoke.
If I can't earn money with money, I'm going to die from anxiety."
The emperor could not help but laugh."I don't know how many people will be unable to ask for the support of the commoners, but when it comes to you, it seems that you are too childish." Your Majesty, I only want to make money by operating the New Cloud Workshop. Of course, my reputation has to be taken into consideration, but there's no need for more. I feel that the reputation of the New Cloud Workshop and the No Envy Pavilion is a bit too flourishing. Your majesty, why don't you think of a way to suppress me? After all, both places deal in business and their reputations ...
"It's hard to avoid being bothered by it, so you should earn less money!" After the emperor finished listening to her words, the worry in his heart gradually disappeared."There's no need to suppress us anymore. Your Nebula Market and Unenviable Restaurant have done a lot of good deeds for the people. They should be commended. In a few days, we will build a temple to record this natural disaster
For the sake of remembering the people who passed away in the flood, and for the sake of recording the achievements of defeating the plague, let the future generations admire you."
Mu Yunyao nodded repeatedly."Mn, this way, the commoners won't have to go to the front of the neon city to burn incense."
Hearing that she was only concerned about this, the emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry."There aren't many political matters today. Let's go to the Jade Splendor Hall for dinner. I heard that you've researched quite a few medicinal foods in the past few days?"
"Yes, the weather is hot right now, so Grandmother's appetite isn't very good. Eating some medicine can open up your stomach, so if the emperor is going to eat, then I'll go back and prepare it and personally cook it for you."
"Alright."
The dinner was extremely enjoyable, and the rain finally began to fall in the imperial court.
After half a month, the bandage on the woman's face could finally be removed.
Mu Yunyao woke up early in the morning and insisted on personally helping the wicked woman remove the gauze.
The woman looked at her with an uncomfortable expression. She laughed and teased, "Hmph, it's useless for you to try to please me now. I've already made up my mind to stay by the side of Grand Princess Yide. Don't think that these little favors can bribe me."
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and glanced at her, not paying much attention as she continued to focus on removing the gauze.
The Lady Poison felt that something was amiss."Did you do something shameful? Did you poison the herbs you collected? Did you come here today to help me remove the gauze just to watch me disfigure myself a second time?"
Mu Yunyao curled her lips and nodded, "That's right, I've even poisoned your food. Who knows, you might have been poisoned to death not long after."
The Poison Matriarch curled her lips and reached out to pinch Mu Yunyao's cheek."Look what you're capable of, can't I tell from the poison?"
"That's not necessarily true. I've been studying my medical skills hard these few days and I feel that I've completely surpassed you." Mu Yunyao patted her hand."Stop messing around. I'll use a bit of force later and pull your nose out of the way."
The poison wife's breath caught in her throat, and she finally calmed down.
Mu Yunyao opened the gauze and used a soft, wet handkerchief to wipe the poison woman's face clean. Seeing that her face was so pale that only the faint scars on it were left, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Poison Wife took a look at her face in the mirror and couldn't help but be stunned."It's been so many years since I last saw this face, I didn't expect ... "She's still so beautiful."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but roll her eyes and get someone to pour water over, "Quickly go wash up."
The Poison Matriarch happily washed off the medicinal paste on her face and looked at herself in the mirror, "Yunyao, try out the medicinal paste I left for you. The effect is quite good."
"Thank you, or not."
"Sigh, you truly do not recognize my kindness. Just look at my current skin. Even saying that I'm eighteen would cause people to believe me."
"Of course, you can only look at your skin, not your face. After all, your skin is already ten Zhang thick."
The wicked woman harrumphed and touched the indistinct scar on her cheek. A trace of emotion flashed across her eyes, [There will still be scars left behind no matter how good the medicine is. ]
Mu Yunyao stood behind her. She was really happy for her in her heart, "I'll help you dress up and make you a great beauty. I'll help you comb your hair first."
Seeing Mu Yunyao's excitement, the Poison Lady didn't refuse. It was just that after a quarter of an hour, she bared her teeth at the copper mirror."You're definitely trying to take revenge on me. Look at my hair, it's almost all combed clean by you."
Mu Yunyao looked at the hair on the rhinoceros' horn. She quickly took it off and threw it on the ground, "Who told your hair to grow like grass. Take a look at my hair, it's done with a comb."
"Then I'm really sorry."
"Don't be so polite..."
"I want to follow the Grand Princess ..."
"Shall I comb your hair again?" You. You actually dare to threaten me in such a way? "
