Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 302 Liu was beaten

A table of delicious food with beautiful appearance, aroma and taste, and exquisite presentation had already been prepared in Nuanyu Pavilion. However, at this moment, Yun Yuxi seemed a little tired. She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. Since she became pregnant, her body seemed to become unusually heavy, and she always felt sleepy and weak.

Yan Wuque, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked a little irritated. In fact, he was not very happy about the emperor's arrival.

Yan Wuque has always been fond of a quiet, peaceful, simple and pure lifestyle, but unfortunately he was born in an imperial family and often had no say in many things.

Now that Yun Yuxi is pregnant, he is even more determined to protect his wife and children and enjoy every minute and every second with his beloved.

Just when the sky was beginning to darken, the Regent's Palace finally welcomed the honorable Emperor Suwen and the highly respected old man of the Mu family.

The palace had already made all the necessary preparations. Not only had everything been arranged in an orderly manner, but many experts were also specially arranged to lurk in the dark to ensure that the trip of Emperor Su Wen and the old man of the Mu family was foolproof.

When Emperor Su Wen stepped into Nuan Yu Pavilion, it was immediately filled with joyful laughter and lively conversation. People knelt down to pay their respects, and then got busy, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Yan Wuque also accompanied Emperor Su Wen and the old man of the Mu family with a smile. After drinking a few glasses with them, he politely declined on the grounds of a leg injury, saying that it was really not appropriate for him to drink any more.

However, Emperor Su Wen was in a surprisingly good mood today. He enthusiastically pulled the old man of the Mu family to drink happily, and soon both of them were drunk.

Ling Er handed Emperor Su Wen to the Dragon Guards, who escorted him back to the palace, while the old man of the Mu family stayed in the palace overnight. Firstly, he was old, and secondly, it was not convenient for them to stay outside the city. Yan Wuque was afraid that Yun Yuxi would worry, so he arranged for Ling Yi to pick up the uncle of the Mu family to the palace.

In the study, the prime minister had a gloomy face. The secret guard came to report that they had found the Mu family's whereabouts, but they did not dare to take action.

"Master, the Mu family is secretly protected by experts. Although it is quiet outside the city, in order not to alert the enemy, I dare not act rashly, for fear of ruining your plan."

"Go down and don't show up recently. Don't take any action on the Mu family's affairs for the time being. The emperor is furious and ordered me to find out who is behind the ambush of the Mu family. You all leave the city first and come back in two months. Go to the silver shop in the north of the city to get the silver," the prime minister ordered.

The secret guard turned around and disappeared into the vast night. The prime minister looked at the disappearing secret guard with a dark look in his eyes.

The prime minister was sitting in his study, thinking hard. At this time, the guard outside the door reported, "Master, Aunt Zhiyu ordered the maid to bring you lotus seed soup, saying that it is for your body tonic. Look at this..." After saying that, the guard put down the lotus seed soup.

"Tell the maid to go back and tell Aunt Yu that the master has something to discuss in the Madam's courtyard tonight. Let her go to bed early. I will go to accompany her when I have time." The Prime Minister said indifferently while drinking lotus seed soup.

When the maid got the news, she returned to the yard with some worry. She knew that the prime minister could not be invited today, and Zhiyu would take her anger out on her again.

"Go and invite the second young master over. Tell him that I have something to ask and ask him to come to the study." The prime minister thought of what happened yesterday when he met the dean and teacher of Qingshan College at Bazhen Tower. People said that he had a good son, and he was puzzled. He thought that Yun Haoxuan had caused some trouble and brought discredit to the prime minister's mansion.

In Aunt Lan's yard, Yun Haoxuan was reading a book when he saw the guards of the Prime Minister coming.

"Second Young Master, please go to the study. The master is waiting for you there," the guard said respectfully. He did not look down on Yun Haoxuan because he was born out of wedlock. He remembered that Aunt Lan always treated them, the guards, as human beings. Once again, he made a mistake and it was Aunt Lan who pleaded for him that allowed him to be forgiven.

"Brother guard, can you tell me why my father is looking for me this time?" Yun Haoxuan asked the guard beside him with a curious look on his face.

After all, his father rarely summoned him on weekdays, so this sudden summons really made him feel uneasy. If he knew some of the reasons in advance, he could make more preparations to better deal with what might happen next.

After hearing this, the guard hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Master, I don't know exactly what happened. However, seeing the master's expression after returning from the court just now, you have to be more careful! The master has been staying in the study since he returned home, and his face is stern. I guess he is in a bad mood. When you see the master later, you must not argue with him, so as not to anger the master and get punished." After saying this, he did not forget to give some kind advice.

Yun Haoxuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, indicating that he had kept this warning in mind. Then, he took his personal servant and followed the guard towards the study.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the study. Yun Haoxuan took a deep breath, knocked on the door gently, and then said respectfully: "My child Yun Haoxuan, I greet my father. I wonder why you specially summoned me here today?" While speaking, he kept his head down, not daring to look straight ahead, with a humble and cautious look.

At this time, the prime minister, who was sitting in front of the desk, slowly raised his head when he heard the voice. When his eyes fell on Yun Haoxuan, he didn't know if it was just an illusion, but he felt that the son in front of him had some similarities with the uncle of the Mu family. This horrifying discovery instantly made the prime minister break out in a cold sweat.

The prime minister quickly concealed his panic, but this hint of panic still caught Yun Haoxuan's eyes.

The Prime Minister took a deep breath and asked in a gentle tone, "Haoxuan, you are in the academy. How are your studies recently? Have you had any friction with your classmates? Yesterday, I met the dean and teacher of your academy in Bazhen Building. They said that I gave birth to a good son. What's going on?"

The prime minister is worthy of being the head of all officials. His words were flawless, which not only demonstrated his love as a father, but also achieved the purpose.

"Oh, father, so it's about this matter. Then I will talk to you about it." Yun Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and then told him everything.

"Hahaha, you are dad's good son, you are really dad's good son. I should have sent you to the dean for further studies earlier. It would not be impossible for my son to become the top scholar in the future," the prime minister said happily. The news brought by Yun Haoxuan made the prime minister get rid of his previous unhappiness.

"Xuan'er, go to the academy tomorrow. Your father will ask the coachman to take you there. Later, you can ask your little Si to go to the warehouse to withdraw fifty taels of silver. You still have to take care of the relationship with the dean. Your eldest brother in my prime minister's mansion is by the side of the emperor. You have to be valued by the dean. My prime minister's mansion has a successor." The prime minister was happy from the bottom of his heart, but Yun Haoxuan's heart was indeed cold.

"Thank you, father. My aunt is gone, and my sister cries all the time. When I came back yesterday, I saw the nanny beside my mother scolding my sister. She said that my sister was just the aunt's lowly child, and was not worthy of being the daughter of the prime minister's family, even if my father was his son." Yun Haoxuan said with red eyes.

"Xuan'er, your father will investigate this matter. You and Chudai are both my children. Whoever dares to say that you are not worthy, your father will punish the nanny. You should go and have a rest first. Go back to the academy tomorrow and study hard. Your father will take care of the affairs of the mansion." The Prime Minister looked at Yun Haoxuan with red eyes and said with a guarantee.

Yun Haoxuan understood that with his current strength, he was no match for the Liu family. His only way out was to study hard and pass the imperial examination. This way, he and his sister Yun Chudai would not be suppressed and bullied by the Liu family.

After Yun Haoxuan left, the Prime Minister went to Liu's yard with a dark face. When Liu saw the Prime Minister's expression, she knew that she was in trouble.

The prime minister ignored the fact that Liu was pregnant and slapped her in the face, and ordered the guards to grab Liu's personal nanny and beat her up.

Liu was stunned by the beating and started crying, "Master, what's going on? What happened to you today? I'm pregnant. You actually hit me. I can't live like this anymore."

"Don't you know what you have done? Yun Chudai is also my daughter. How dare you allow people around you to bully her at will? As the mistress of the house, if you can't manage the backyard, let Zhiyu take care of it..."

After the prime minister finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, left angrily, and turned to go to Zhiyu's yard.
