Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 258 The Mu Family is Coming Back

Yun Yuxi came to the prime minister's study angrily, and questioned with a face full of anger: "Father, Aunt Lan gave birth to a pair of children for you, shouldn't she be allowed to enter our Yun family's ancestral tomb? Moreover, Chu Dai and Xuan Er are both very outstanding, how can you treat them like this?"

The Prime Minister frowned and responded seriously: "Yu girl, this is an internal matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are not qualified to interfere. I will make my own arrangements. As for the issue of the ancestral tomb, Aunt Lan is only a concubine after all. According to the rules, it is indeed inappropriate. Chu Dai and Xuan Er are also my children, I will naturally make some arrangements."

However, the prime minister had other thoughts in his mind. For some reason, whenever he saw Yun Haoxuan, he always felt like he was seeing Mu Wanqing's third brother.

Yun Haoze looks extremely similar to the young third son of the Mu family, which makes the prime minister suspicious of Aunt Lan and even think that she has betrayed him.

If the Mu family had not been at the border for these years, he would almost suspect that Yun Haoxuan was not his biological child. Perhaps it was out of guilt towards Mu Wanqing that the prime minister was particularly tolerant of Yun Haoxuan.

"May Aunt Lan be buried well. As for Xuan'er, I want him to study at the Royal Academy. I still have a spot, which I got in a talent competition in the palace. Xuan'er will naturally be sad without his mother," said Yun Yuxi.

"Yu'er, this is what your father planned too. Now that your eldest brother is a royal guard and serves the emperor, the prime minister's family has two sons left. Naturally, I also have to make plans for Xuan'er, but your father is troubled by the lack of a place in the Royal Academy. Since you are kind enough to make plans for the prime minister's family, your father is very happy."

Yun Yuxi was afraid that the Prime Minister would suspect something, so she said, "Father, I also understand that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer. If Xuan'er is successful, my family will have more support, right? Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up Xuan'er to the academy, and I will take care of everything."

The Prime Minister was naturally delighted, thinking that Yun Yuxi had finally come to his senses, so he gave orders to bury Aunt Lan properly.

Yun Chudai and Yun Haoxuan knew clearly that all this was thanks to their second sister. They heard that it was their second sister who went to the study and then their father gave the order. The two siblings were silently grateful to Yun Yuxi in their hearts.

In Nuanyu Pavilion, Yan Wuque was waiting for Yun Yuxi's return in a good mood. He had good news to tell Yun Yuxi that the Mu family could come back.

Yan Wuque went to the court this morning. After some discussion, Emperor Su Wen finally agreed to let the Mu family return and arranged for someone else to replace the head of the Mu family to guard the border.

Emperor Su Wen also had selfish motives. He could not deceive himself about his feelings for Yun Yuxi, and he also wanted to do Yun Yuxi a favor. In fact, he was relieved in his heart. All these showed that Yan Wuque had no intention of betraying him, and he even gave all the Divine Hidden Guards to him for Yun Yuxi's sake.

He also knew that Yun Yuxi was a person with her own ideas and would never be his undercover agent. Moreover, Yun Yuxi and his wife had indeed done many things that benefited the country and the people. Emperor Su Wen felt uncomfortable and thought that he was being petty.

In fact, he also wanted to use the Mu family to test Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi. Without the military power, the Mu family would be like a tiger without teeth. If Yan Wuque had that intention, he would not have asked him to call the Mu family back.

Yun Yuxi was very busy today. She first went to the pharmacy to handle some matters, then went to the Sihai Restaurant to check on the situation, and finally went to the south of the city to check the progress of the project.

Yan Wuque had been waiting for Yun Yuxi since the morning, but she had not returned until the evening. As time went by, he became increasingly irritable and felt a sense of loss.

Finally, when night fell, Yun Yuxi returned to the palace, her face looked a little exhausted. When Yan Wuque saw her coming back, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell. He walked forward quickly, hugged Yun Yuxi tightly, and felt her warmth and real presence.

"Your Highness, I'm starving! Let the servants prepare the meal. By the way, have you eaten? I'm going to take a shower first." Yun Yuxi said as she broke free from Yan Wuque's arms and hurried to the bathroom.

Yan Wuque originally had many things to say to Yun Yuxi, but at this moment he couldn't say a word. He silently watched Yun Yuxi's departing back, feeling helpless.

Afterwards, he ordered his servants to quickly prepare Yun Yuxi's favorite food, and personally went to the kitchen to supervise. In fact, he himself had not eaten yet.

Soon, Yuelan came into the bathroom carrying buckets of steaming water. After Yun Yuxi took a bath and changed into clean clothes, she felt more energetic. She walked out of the bathroom, sat down in the room, and prepared to enjoy dinner.

Yan Wuque looked at Yun Yuxi, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He asked softly, "Are you starving? Come and try these dishes to see if they suit your taste." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in Yun Yuxi's bowl.

Yun Yuxi tasted a bite of the fish, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's delicious! Thank you, Your Majesty." She looked at Yan Wuque gratefully, with happiness shining in her eyes.

After dinner, Yun Yuxi and Yan Wuque sat on the bed and chatted. They shared each other's daily life and laughed constantly.

"Yu'er, Prince, I have something good to tell you." The two said in unison, smiled at each other, and Yan Wuque said lovingly: "Yu'er, you speak first."

"Your Highness, I suspect that the child my mother gave birth to is not dead, but is being raised by Aunt Lan. That child is Yun Haoxuan. When I saw him today, I felt inexplicably close to him. My intuition has always been accurate, but I just haven't proven it. Tomorrow I will ask Mother Li if she really saw her brother die?"

"Yu'er, do you know that the Yun Haoxuan you mentioned is very similar to the third uncle of the Mu family when he was young? What you said may not be impossible, but I didn't tell you because I didn't have any evidence?"

Yun Yuxi was a little excited. She was 100% sure that Yun Haoxuan was her biological brother, because nephews all looked like their uncles.

"My Lord, is everything you said true?"

"Yeah," Yan Wuque nodded and continued, "Don't get excited. I have even better news to tell you. The emperor finally agreed to let the Mu family come back, but the Mu family no longer has military power, and the uncle of the Mu family is injured and stupid. Alas!"

"What did you say? Grandma and her family are coming back? Did I hear it right?"

"No, you heard it right, the Mu family is really coming back." Yan Wuque hugged Yun Yuxi, who had tears in her eyes.

Although Yun Yuxi had never met her maternal grandfather's family, they were connected by blood after all. She murmured, "Prince, thank you. I know that you were the one who took care of all this. Otherwise, how could the emperor let the Mu family come back?"

Yan Wuque smiled evilly and said, "Then how will Yu'er thank me?"
