Chapter 226: The "Yu Wushuang" of Yinshan County Appears in Public
"How are the children now?" Jun Mo asked in a deep voice.
Jian Yi replied with a gloomy face: "The palace soldiers, secret guards and the emperor's secret guards have tried their best to protect the little grandchildren! But..."
"Just what?" Yu Jiuer was almost anxious to death. When did this guy learn to stutter?
Jian Yi glanced at Yu Jiuer and said, "It's just that Miss Dong'er was unfortunately killed, and Yueying was also hit by a sword, and her life or death is uncertain! They have two groups of people, and they took advantage of the prince's leading people to look for you and the mansion was empty to attack with all their might, as if they didn't care about their lives. We lost a lot of people."
"Dong'er...Moon Shadow, no!"
Yu Jiuer had been in a state of tension these days, and was stimulated again at this moment. She finally couldn't hold on any longer, her body went limp, and she fainted in Jun Mo's arms.
When she woke up, she found herself back in the room, and Jun Mo was sleeping beside her bed.
His eyes were sunken and had dark circles under them, and it was obvious that he hadn't gotten much rest during the days she had been missing.
"Dong'er! Yueying!" Yu Jiuer silently repeated their names in her heart and cried silently.
Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. She clenched her teeth and held back her tears, not letting herself cry out loud, for fear of waking Jun Mo up!
Her original intention of coming to the capital was to make money and to revitalize Yinshan County. But only now did she realize that the revitalization of Yinshan County could not rely solely on gold and silver.
She was wrong!
She only cared about making money and didn't care about Jun Mo's power struggle.
She thought she was noble and could stay away from those conspiracies and intrigues for power, but she didn't know that those conspiracies and intrigues never let her go.
Therefore, if she wants to become stronger, she must not only make money, but also gain power!
Unless those princes surrender, she will not have peace; her children will not be able to go out and play as they please; and Yinshan County will not be truly safe.
The vibration in Yu Jiuer's chest startled Jun Mo. He suddenly woke up and grabbed Yu Jiuer's hand: "Jiuer!"
"Your Highness! I want to fight alongside you and make them pay the price!" Yu Jiuer said in a strong and powerful voice.
This sentence was not a question but an affirmation. Regardless of whether Jun Mo agreed or not, she had made up her mind and would never let go of those who hurt them.
The eldest prince harmed the people of Yinshan, and the third prince's mother, Concubine Xiang, killed her biological mother. Now, an unknown prince has sent people to her house to kill her child.
Scholars can endure it, but who can’t?
Jun Mo didn't say anything, because he knew Yu Jiuer and saw determination in her eyes.
"Okay! You take a good rest first, and we will discuss the future together!" Jun Mo put her hand on his face and supported him silently.
Yu Jiuer sat up and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"Three or four hours!"
Yu Jiuer asked in a hoarse voice: "Is Dong'er really gone?"
"Yeah!" Jun Mo nodded.
Yu Jiuer covered her heart, bent down and buried her head in the quilt.
Heart hurts!
Jun Mo sat down beside the bed and held her in his arms to comfort her.
"Where is Yueying?" A muffled voice came from Jun Mo's arms.
"She hasn't woken up yet! The doctor said she was seriously injured and she might never wake up again in this lifetime!"
Yu Jiuer wiped away her tears, sucked her shoes and got out of bed: "I want to go see them!"
"Dong'er's body has been placed in the stable. After you take a look at it, it will be taken to the outskirts of the city for burial!" Jun Mo explained.
Yu Jiuer nodded and ran towards the stable. Jun Mo followed behind her. Seeing her stumbling, he simply picked her up and went over together.
When she arrived at the stable, Yu Jiuer saw several monks chanting sutras for Dong'er.
Chun'er, Xia'er and Qiu'er knelt beside him, their eyes red and swollen from crying.
The laws of the Great Dong Dynasty stipulated that if a slave died unjustly in the prince's mansion, sutras could not be recited in the mansion, so as not to affect the dragon's luck.
However, Dong'er died to save his master. In order to make Yu Jiuer feel better, Jun Mo broke the rules and secretly invited a monk to come to the mansion to chant scriptures for her.
"Dong'er! Have a pleasant journey!" Yu Jiuer's voice trembled. In her impression, this greedy girl was always very optimistic. With her around, the conversation would never be dull.
The children also enjoyed her company.
She is simple and somewhat naive, and Chun'er often reminds her to use her brain and not to speak without restraint.
But she had a pure heart and never beat around the bush. She always said whatever she thought, with such frankness that it made people happy.
Whenever Yu Jiuer encounters something unhappy, she always likes to tease her.
I heard her stupidly reply: "How could this happen? Are they all stupid?"
She could feel relaxed for a while.
But now, her silly and cute cheerfulness is gone.
After sending Dong'er away, Yu Jiuer came to Yueying's room.
This secret guard usually speaks very little, almost not saying a word all day long, but he is serious about his work and never vague, and he is very kind to Yu Jiuer with all his heart.
But now she was lying on the bed like a corpse, lifeless. Yu Jiuer's heart ached.
Three days later.
Yu Jiuer finally regained her former spirit, but Jun Mo saw even greater pressure in her eyes.
He can only speed up and try to solve all the troubles!
The emperor had no reason to pursue the matter further as the families of the two princes returned home safely.
Jun Mo was only fined one year's salary and given twenty lashes with the cane as a warning to stop.
Yu Jiuer is still busy with her business at the winery and Linglong Pavilion as before.
At the same time, he often went to the study to discuss court and other political affairs with Jun Mo.
When it comes to political affairs, Jun Mo never avoids telling Yu Jiuer anything, nor does he object.
On the contrary, he gladly accepted and adopted some of Yu Jiuer's unique insights.
The days passed one by one, and in two days, they would have their wedding granted by the Emperor.
On the eve of the wedding, Yu Jiuer stayed indoors claiming illness as planned.
Yu Wushuang from Yinshan County appeared in front of people.
He is Yu Jiuer's biological brother, and no one dares to object to his living in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Yu Jiuer, who was dressed as Yu Wushuang, pretended to take a carriage to Prince Jing's mansion to arrange her clothes, and then set out from Prince Jing's mansion in a dignified manner to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
When the emperor asked "Yu Wushuang": "You have been in office for three years. How do you feel about governing Yinshan County?"
Yu Jiuer showed a mocking smile on her face: "I have tried very hard, but in the end I could not defeat the natural disasters and man-made disasters, as well as the invasion from the Western Regions. If our dynasty's policies could be a little more tolerant towards Yinshan County, I believe it would be able to develop better!"
Her words were also secretly putting pressure on the emperor to abolish the Yinshan Contract.
How could the emperor not know what she was thinking?
But this old actor was shameless enough to pretend to be confused, and with a look of regret and sorrow he advised "Yu Wushuang" to keep up the good work and continue to make efforts to revitalize Yinshan County.
The main point is: not spending a penny.
Not only did they not abolish the Yinshan Contract, but they didn't even give a single ounce of reward.
Could it be that he really knew nothing about the collusion between his princes and the Western Regions?
Don't you have even a hint of guilt?
If you feel a little guilty, you should give yourself something as reward, right?
Humph! The Great Dong Dynasty was not lost in his hands, thanks to his good son Jun Mo.
After coming out of the palace, Yu Jiuer walked on the floor of the palace, her footsteps making thumping sounds, and she almost couldn't suppress her anger along the way.
Dog emperor, when my man succeeds to the throne, I will let him throw you into the cold palace to reflect on your actions; when my son ascends the throne, I will let him give you the title of a tyrant.
She had never longed for that throne as much as she did now.
My God, she shouldn't have been so disdainful of the throne before!
--------
Two days later, Jun Mo's wedding came as scheduled.
Yu Jiuer, who played Yu Wushuang, sat quietly on the high hall, watching her husband and a group of women getting married. The expression on her face was very "wonderful".
The woman pretending to be Yu Jiuer was covered with a thick red veil, and no one could see her face clearly.
When he was sent to the bridal chamber, Jun Mo naturally took the fake Yu Jiuer's hand and was about to walk towards Xilan Courtyard.
Rong Wan'er, the unyielding troublemaker, "accidentally" fell towards Jun Mo when she was leaving the door.
Jun Mo dodged directly.
She obviously didn't expect Jun Mo to ignore her fall, and she fell without warning, making the guests want to laugh but dare not.
The emperor is still sitting high in the hall, who dares to be rude?
"Since you're injured, just behave yourself and stay in your room and don't come out!" Jun Mo's cold and hard tone made Rong Wan'er feel like a basin of cold water was poured on her, and tears rolled around in her eyes.
Rong Wan'er was Jun Mo's relative, and now even though they were closely related, she ended up like this. Naturally, the other two did not dare to embarrass themselves in front of the guests, and obediently followed the matchmaker back to their room.
After Jun Mo sent the fake Yu Jiuer back to her room, he came out and said to the emperor who was accepting compliments and congratulations from everyone:
"Father! I have completed the wedding you requested! Now, I have some official business to attend to. I hope you will understand!"
