Chapter 297 Burning the bridge across the river
The Miao envoy did not expect that this fairy-like woman who came in would be so tactful. He could not help but tease her:
"Is this a mistake that requires a honey trap?"
"Is there really no one left in the Great Dong Dynasty?"
"We are not superficial people who can be dismissed by just any beauty!"
Yu Jiuer sneered, her expression suddenly changed, and she said sternly: "The four envoys have eaten too many poisonous insects from Miaojiang. I'm afraid their brains are sick, right?
You have the nerve to shout so loudly about the shameful thing that your Miao princess had with your Miao minister? You even have the nerve to ask for an explanation?
Even your princess and her son were so ashamed of themselves that they committed suicide to end it all. Yet you still have the nerve to make such a big fuss about asking for an explanation?
In this case, it would be unreasonable for us in the Great East Dynasty not to help you!"
Yu Jiuer said as she bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you hand over the bodies of the Miaojiang princess and the third prince who just hanged himself to them, and also return the shameless adulterer from Miaojiang to them. These unclean things are simply tainting our land in our dynasty.
Why not let them take it back to Miaojiang and send them off, beat gongs and drums along the way, and tell them about the ugly things that happened in Miaojiang. Let's see if it is my Great Dong Dynasty that is embarrassed or the Miaojiang that is embarrassed?"
The four Miao envoys did not expect that this woman was so shameless and were speechless for a moment.
The emperor saw the situation was reversed and quickly ordered: "Come here, do as Princess Jing said!"
The opportunity was fleeting, and the Miao envoy lost the initiative in a moment of distraction.
The emperor's roar made them panic, and they waved their hands and said, "You don't have to send us off, we will go back on our own!"
Yu Jiuer looked very proud: You little bastards! Can't I cure you?
At this point, the story of Concubine Xiang was finally over, and she finally killed someone.
After Yu Jiuer helped the emperor eliminate dissidents, she turned around and returned to the palace in a smug and carefree manner, thinking that the emperor's decree to lift the ban would also follow. Unexpectedly, the emperor remained silent.
Yu Jiuer was grinding her teeth in the mansion. Was this favor in vain? How could the emperor be so shameless? Does he understand the ways of the world?
There are three days left until the eighth day of April, the day she promised to hold a celebration party for the Black Wind Society!
Until the evening, Yu Jiuer still hadn't received the emperor's pardon order, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
She asked Jun Mo aggrievedly, "Has the emperor forgotten? If I had known this earlier in the Golden Palace, I would have reminded him."
"Father, it's not that I forgot, but the rumors have not been completely eliminated. Father is afraid that something will happen again." Jun Mo apologized, "I'm sorry, Jiuer! I have been blocking the rumors in the dark for the past two months, but I still haven't been able to eradicate them."
Yu Jiuer was indignant: "Humph! They want to ruin your reputation through public opinion and make those who follow you waver. They finally caught your weakness, they will definitely not give up easily, don't blame your Highness.
Fortunately, Your Majesty intervened, otherwise this rumor would have become a sharp weapon, allowing the Emperor to force you to divorce me."
Jun Mo gazed at her affectionately: "I will never divorce my wife in this life! Tomorrow I will ask my father to see if he will agree to lift your ban!"
Yu Jiuer pouted: "I have made great achievements today, but the emperor didn't mention anything. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult!"
"Let's ask tomorrow. Maybe Father will agree to it because he can't bear the shame." Jun Mo tapped Yu Jiuer's nose. "Also, you are my legal wife now. You should call me Father together with me!"
"Oh!" Yu Jiuer nodded, not taking it seriously.
Would the stingy and shameless old Pixiu be embarrassed?
She helped him defeat the Miao envoy today, and it would have been fine if he didn't just show any appreciation, but he didn't even take the initiative to help her lift the ban?
How thick-skinned does one have to be to do such a thing?
At noon the next day, Jun Mo returned to the mansion and announced with regret: "Father is firm in his attitude. You can't leave the mansion until the rumors are dispelled!"
Yu Jiuer couldn't control her anger: "I helped him so much in the Golden Palace yesterday, but he actually went back on his word and wants to keep me locked up?
What do you think I am? Let me out when I need you, and lock me up again when I don’t? "
Jun Mo patted Yu Jiuer's back and comforted her: "Don't worry! We can think of another way!"
Yu Jiuer wanted to cry but had no tears: "If we don't set out for Tianshan tomorrow, it will be too late to hold a celebration banquet for them!
All the branches have sent me letters saying that they have all achieved their goals recently. I finally won the bet with them and promised to hold a celebration party for them. How can I go back on my word?
Also, after the celebration banquet, do I have to hurry back to Yinshan County to take over as the county magistrate? The transfer order has already arrived at Liangzhou Prefecture, but your father still won’t let me go. Does he want to go back on his word even for this? Woo woo woo…”
Jun Mo hugged Yu Jiuer and comforted her: "The transfer order has been issued, the county magistrate's matter will not change, don't be sad, the king is here! Since we can't leave the house openly, we can do it secretly."
Yu Jiuer looked at Jun Mo blankly: "My Lord, how dare you disobey your father? Are you really that brave?"
"You are my courage drug!" Jun Mo pinched her pink cheeks and said affectionately, "For you, I will go through fire and water!"
Yu Jiuer wiped her tears and hugged his waist excitedly: "Then let's get ready and take action tonight. Take the children with you. If they are locked up in the house all day, they will get moldy sooner or later!"
"Don't they have to go to the palace to study every day? How can they be locked up in the mansion all day?" Jun Mo laughed dumbly, "You have to sneak around when you go out, and bringing the children with you won't arouse even more suspicion? Not appropriate!"
Yu Jiuer sighed deeply, "Okay! My poor kids! When I come back from Tianshan, I will personally go to the palace to petition the emperor to return to Yinshan County to take up his post. I also want to bring the children back to Yinshan County to visit everyone. Do you think the emperor will agree? Mother and the others must miss the children very much!"
Jun Mo sighed inaudibly, "I'm afraid that's not possible! Father treats children like the apple of his eye. It's a long journey to Yinshan County, he won't agree!"
"Everything depends on human effort. Let me think of a solution!"
Yu Jiuer turned around and walked towards the warehouse. "I'll go to the warehouse to see if there are any gifts for the branch leaders. They have worked so hard to achieve the goal, so I, as the head leader, should give them some rewards, right?"
Jun Mo followed her silently. As long as his wife said so, he didn't mind how much she gave him.
Entering the warehouse, Yu Jiuer inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two boxes of treasures that the emperor gave to the children when they just returned to their ancestral home two years ago.
According to regulations, the treasure can only be opened after the children reach adulthood, and a seal is affixed for this purpose.
Yu Jiuer felt itchy as she could see but not touch. Especially since the emperor was like a donkey that had done its job and she didn't get any benefit from helping him, she had been holding a grudge in her heart.
Seeing Jun Mo was looking through other things and not noticing her, she shamelessly reached back with her hand, making a "bang" sound, and "accidentally" opened the sealed box. She said innocently, "I didn't notice it, it turns out this is the children's box!"
Jun Mo was speechless. This box had not been touched for more than a year and was covered with dust. How could she say she didn't notice it?
"What do you want to do now?" Jun Mo said helplessly, "You have nothing to do and you want to make father unhappy again?"
Yu Jiuer casually flipped through the opened box: "I just want to take a look! It's already opened, let's see what good stuff there is! Anyway, everything that belongs to my son is also mine!"
Suddenly, she trembled all over and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, look at this jade pendant! Why does it look so familiar?"
