Chapter 56 Furious
Queen Xian thought it made sense. She held her breath and could not stand it.
When Nurse Xi arrived at the Kun Pce, she sent the pearls to her and said, "Princess Chu said that
the empress did not get the crystal ball as a tribute. As her daughter-inw, she did not dare to take
them alone, so she gave you a string of gifts."
Hearing this, the empress was so angry that she said coldly, "I don''t dare to ept it. Go back."
Nurse Xi smiled and said, "Your Highness, why should you let down Her Highness'' filial piety? After all,
it is a gift from His Majesty. If you don''t ept it, I''m afraid that you will go to Honored Consort Ya or
Queen Xian''s ce. The Southern Pearl is precious and you don''t even have it, but Honored Consort
Ya and Queen Xian have it. Wouldn''t it be a disgrace to you? You might as well ept it. As for how to
deal with it, it''s up to you."
Nurse Leader in Kun Pce also said, "Nurse Xi is right. Your Highness, please ept it and send it to
His Majesty. As for whether Princess Chu is showing off or trying to curry favor with you, it depends on
His Majesty."
In short, no matter what, the emperor would be angry.
The empress was angry earlier. She did not expect this. She only said coldly after being reminded by
her Nurse Leader, "You''re right. Take it and send it to His Majesty. Tell him that the Queen Mother did
not get the Southern Pearl and I dare not ept it."
She knew that the string of Southern Pearls in the emperor''s hands had not been sent to the Queen
Mother. As such, her words made sense.
Nurse Xi smiled and said, "This old servant still has to return to the pce to serve the retired emperor.
I''m taking my leave."
"See you off, nanny!" Nurse Leader said.
Nurse Xi slowly walked out of Kun Pce. After she left, she seemed to be stagnant. She sighed
deeply and whispered, "I''ll pay you back for what I owe you. I won''t owe you anything in this life."
Chu Mingcui walked up to her with a smile.
Nurse Xi bowed. "My Lady."
"Hello, nanny!" Chu Mingcui looked at her and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Nurse Xi said nothing and bowed to leave.
Chu Mingcui looked at Nurse Xi''s back and smiled. She had no choice but to do so. Since the emperor
had given two Southern Pearls to Yuan Qingling and had dinner with her alone, there would be endless
trouble in the future. She must break down this trust and suspect that Yu Wenhao had ulterior motives
to make Yu Wenhao withdraw.
She sighed softly. "Yu Wenhao, I''m doing this for your own good. This is a life-and-death deal. You
can''t get involved in it. I''ll keep you safe and be a carefree prince."
Seeing Nurse Leader Polying out with the Southern Pearl, Chu Mingcui stepped forward and
asked, "Nurse Leader Poly, are you going to the emperor''s ce?"
Nurse Leader Poly was stunned. "You know?"
Chu Mingcui smiled and said, "Nurse Leader Poly, please listen to me carefully. ording to my words,
this is my grandfather''s order."
Nurse Leader Poly looked at her, put away her surprise, and nodded.
The empress'' string of South pearls was sent to the emperor.
It was Nurse Leader Poly who sent the pearls. Nurse Leader Poly said softly, "The empress said that
the Queen Mother did not have it. She really did not dare to ept a big gift from Princess Chu.
Furthermore, the empress could not fulfill Princess Chu''s request."
Emperor Mingyuan looked at the string of pearls yfully. "Princess Chu, is there anything that the
empress can''t do?"
Poly said, "Princess Chu knows that the empress especially likes the Southern pearl. She has
contributed it to the empress. Please speak up for Yu Wenhao in front of His Majesty and let His
Highness experience in the military branch."
"Military branch?" Emperor Mingyuan sneered. "Well, I know. You can go."
Poly bowed and left.
As soon as she left, Emperor Mingyuan''s face darkened. He grabbed the Southern pearl and threw it in
the corner. He said coldly, "What the hell? Yu Wenhao will never change!"
Mu Ru saw that Emperor Mingyuan was angry and hurriedly picked up the Southern pearl to persuade
him. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I''m afraid this might not be Yu Wenhao''s idea."
"In Prince Yu’s residence, there is no ce for Yuan Qingling to make decisions. She can only obey."
The more Emperor Mingyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He even wiped off his good
impression of Yuan Qingling. "Yuan Qingling may not be simple. Hasn''t she ever wanted to be the
Consort of the Crown Prince? Back then, she yed a shameless trick on Lord Yuan and forced Yu
Wenhao to marry her. Is she targeting Yu Wenhao instead of the position of the Consort of the Crown
Prince?"

Mu Ru was stunned. Did the emperor know that Yu Wenhao was framed at that time? Then why did he
vent his anger on Yu Wenhao? He also wanted Yu Wenhao to marry Miss Yuan.
Mu Ru felt that although he had served the emperor for a long time, she still did not know what the
emperor was thinking.
"Your Majesty, since you know that Yu Wenhao was framed, why are you still treating Yu Wenhao
coldly?" Mu Ru asked.
Emperor Mingyuan''s anger had not yet subsided. "One is Lord Yuan, and the other is Yuan Qingling.
They made fool of him, a man who rolled on the battlefield. It''s so useless. What else do I need to give
him?"
Seeing that he was so angry, Mu Ru did not dare to persuade him.
He knew a little about his master''s temper. If he said it now, it would make him more anger.
Mu Ru actually felt that this matter was a little strange. However, it was the empress who had sent
someone to tell him about it and it was credible. Moreover, the emperor trusted the empress and Poly
was her trusted subordinate. She was familiar with the rules of the imperial pce. If it were not for the
truth, she would not have said it out loud.
Emperor Mingyuan''s face darkened. He did not intend to let the matter rest. The Crown Prince''s
position had touched his bottom line.
He could like Yu Wenhao, but he couldn''t let him think about it.
"Since Princess Chu doesn''t like the South pearl that I gifted you, you can take it back with the IOU."
Emperor Mingyuan said lightly.
Mu Ru received the order. "Yes!"
After calming down by theke for a while, Yuan Qingling returned to the stone steps outside the rest
room and sat for a while before Mu Ru arrived.
"Princess!" Mu Ru stepped forward to salute and looked at the princess in front of her. She had gained
supreme glory, but she was too thoughtful. It was a pity.
"Mu Ru!" Yuan Qingling returned the greeting.
Mu Ru restrained his expression and said, "His Majesty ordered me to take back the Southern pearl
and IOU that were given to the princess."
Yuan Qingling was not surprised at all and said, "There is only one Southern pearl left."
"Oh?" Mu Ru pretended not to know. "Why is there only one left?"
"The other one is gone." Yuan Qingling said...
Mu Ru smiled faintly. How could she fool the emperor with such petty tricks? She was really insensible.
For Yu Wenhao''s sake, he reminded her, "Did My Lady give it to someone? Think about it carefully. His
Majesty can''t be perfunctory."
"It''s indeed gone." Yuan Qingling said...
Mu Ru''s expression suddenly turned ugly. He was not a smart person.
Hearing the conversation, Tang Yang immediately reported to Yu Wenhao, who had a cold expression
on his face. "Pleasee in, Mu Ru."
Tang Yang rushed out and cupped his hands towards Mu Ru. "Thank you for your hard work, Mu Ru.
His Highness invites you in for a cup of water."
Mu Ru waved his hand. "There''s no need. I''m on duty."
"Yes, but Southern pearls won''te back soon. Why don''t we go in and discuss it?" Tang Yang
looked at Mu Ru pleadingly.
Mu Ru thought of Yu Wenhao. It was also him who had watched the child grow up. It would be bad if he
really had such thoughts.
He had to remind him.
So he said, "Well, I''m thirsty along the way. I think drinking water won''t dy."
"Yes, yes!" Tang Yang heaved a sigh of relief and quickly invited the Mu Ru in.
