Chapter 137: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 20
*
The next day, Prime Minister Yun no longer objected to Yun Wu's going to Xiao State.
Firstly, the official hat on his head always reminded him to consider the overall situation, and secondly, because...
The secret letter from last night.
The gold, silver and jewelry bestowed by Emperor Wei were delivered to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion like water. Not only that, Prime Minister Yun was also conferred the title of Marquis.
Others felt jealous in their hearts, but appeared to be gloating on the surface, thinking that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely be retaliated and tortured by the new emperor of Xiao State if she went to Xiao State.
In response, Prime Minister Yun said that they would just have to wait and see.
At this time, in Yun Wu's boudoir in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Wu had just finished taking a bath and was combing her thick hair in front of a bronze mirror.
Chun Xing was packing her luggage, and the worry in her eyes remained.
"How can the master be so confident that the young lady can go to the Xiao Kingdom? People outside say that the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom wants to take revenge on the young lady..."
"can you?"
Yun Wu muttered to herself, thinking carefully about the time when Xie Rongjing was a slave by her side.
She swallowed guiltily, and suddenly realized that she seemed to treat him badly sometimes.
She called him a lowly slave, stepped on him as a stepping stone to get on the carriage, and was very mean to him. After he was injured while saving her, she made him sleep on the cold floor and never had a good face towards him. Was she too mean to him?
"It's okay, it's okay... Daddy said that if I get bullied, he would take me back..."
Yun Wu was comforting herself, although she was still a little nervous.
But she had already decided to go to Xiao State, and she couldn't back down even for her father.
There was some determination in Yun Wu's beautiful eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice.
If, if Xiao Rongjing really holds a grudge against her, then she might as well sleep on the floor for once, or let him bite her to vent his anger. That's the most that can be done, and he can't go any further!

At this time, in the Xiao Kingdom’s palace, the young emperor who had ascended to the throne with swift and decisive means was alone in the luxurious bedroom—
Tidying up the closet.
Xiao Rongjing was carefully putting the clothes he had asked someone to prepare for Yun Wu into the huge wardrobe carved from rosewood.
"This pink one looks nice, the young lady will definitely like it."
"This light yellow dress is also beautiful, it suits you best..."
A handsome man in a black brocade robe was busy sorting out a pile of girls' clothes.
Among them are personal items such as bellybands.
"Put your clothes here, hang your bellyband here, and put your stockings and jade shoes down below..."
Xiao Rongjing was silently memorizing the locations of these things because his lady would be here soon.
He wanted to live in the same bedroom with the young lady, and he didn't intend to let anyone else help her dress.
Xiao Rongjing thought that he would have to serve the young lady every day in the future.
From time to time, I can hug the lady and kiss her...
Yun Wu, who was far away in the capital of Wei State, had no idea what Xiao Rongjing was thinking. Before she left, her father, the Prime Minister, said a lot to her, asking her to tell him if she was unhappy in Xiao State, and that he would go to Xiao State to bring her back even if it meant betrayal.
Yun Wu got on the carriage heading out of the city, with Chun Xing accompanying her. They were also escorted by a group of envoys headed by Lord Lin and Lord Sun.
As the envoys were about to leave the city gate, they suddenly stopped.
It turned out that the eldest princess Wei Jinyao had come.
Yun Wu lifted the curtain of the carriage window, and Wei Jinyao, dressed in luxurious princess attire, appeared outside.
She still had the same arrogant look as before, but there was clearly some reluctance in her eyes.
"I don't know how long you'll be gone. I don't know what Xiao Rongjing is up to. If he really wants to take revenge on you, I will make sure you come back as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, my father said that he will be there for you in everything."
Yun Wu sniffed her sour nose and said, she originally thought it was nothing, but after hearing what Wei Jinyao said, it seemed as if they would never meet again in this life.
"By the way, A-Yan is under the control of his mother and cannot leave the palace. He asked me to say goodbye to you."
Wei Jinyao snorted and said, but she didn't want to waste too much time, so after talking to Yun Wu for a few more words, she stepped back a little.
She watched as the envoys' team set off again, and the carriage that Yun Wu was riding in gradually moved away from her.
"Awu!"
Wei Jinyao suddenly shouted, and regardless of the dissuasion of the followers around her, she lifted her long skirt and ran a few steps after Yun Wu's carriage.
"sorry!"
Yun Wu looked out of the car window and saw Wei Jinyao being trapped in the spot surrounded by her entourage. She had just heard what Wei Jinyao said, but she didn't understand why Wei Jinyao wanted to apologize to her.
She thought that it was probably because Wei Jinyao always bullied her in the past, but now that she thought about it, it didn't seem like bullying. They had been fighting since they were young, but had never really quarreled.
Wei Jinyao stood there with a guilty look on her face. She had accidentally overheard the conversation between her mother and her brother Wei Congyu two days ago.
Only then did they know that Yun Wu encountered danger on the way out of the city to visit the graves, and that a group of people were arranged by Wei Congyu in order to plot against Yun Wu so that he could be a hero and save the beauty and get the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
So, she wanted to apologize to Awu and apologize for her previous idea that Awu could marry her brother.

The team was moving very fast. Envoys Lord Lin and Lord Sun were still holding the letter of peace. They were anxious to see Xiao Rongjing as soon as possible to hand over the letter.
Within a few days, the group arrived at the palace in the capital of the Xiao Kingdom, which was a place specially for foreign envoys to stay.
Yun Wu was a little tired after the long journey. After entering the capital of Xiao State, she had no time to lift the car curtain to see what the capital of Xiao State looked like.
But Lords Lin and Sun were in a hurry to go to the palace to meet Xiao Rongjing, so Chun Xing had to take Yun Wu downstairs to bathe and change clothes first, and they would go to the palace immediately after Yun Wu was ready.
However, at this moment, the envoy Lord Sun had an idea in his mind, and he told this idea to another accompanying envoy Lord Lin.
"But the envoy sent by Emperor Xiao said that we must not slack off and escort Miss Yun to the palace properly. If we act on our own...will it be..."
Lord Lin's expression and tone showed some hesitation. Lord Sun had just proposed to him that they should lock Miss Yun in an iron cage and escort her to the palace.
Lord Sun had a good relationship with Duke Cao and had long been dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's Mansion. He came up with a clever idea and continued to instigate Lord Lin.
"Don't forget that Emperor Xiao was once a slave under Miss Yun. I heard that he was beaten and scolded every day. He lived a miserable life in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just think about it, as an emperor, he was bullied by a woman in the past. Now that he has power, how can he not want to humiliate her?"
"What you said makes sense. Maybe if we do this, we can even win the favor of Emperor Xiao. Then when we return to Wei, we will have achieved success and fame."
The two of them took it upon themselves to guess Xiao Rongjing's thoughts and were complacent about it.
At nightfall, Xiao Rongjing, who had bathed and burned incense specially in order to see the young lady, was sitting on the dragon chair in the front hall of the emperor's bedroom.
He also changed into his best-looking dark gold robe with dark dragon claw patterns, tied his hair up high, had sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, looking naturally handsome like an emperor.
However, he saw the envoys sent by Wei State, Lord Lin and Lord Sun, bringing in a square object covered with black cloth.
"Your Majesty, we are envoys from the Kingdom of Wei. We have come here to present a letter of peace and to escort the Prime Minister's mansion of the Kingdom of Wei to you. Your Majesty will do whatever you want with us!"
