Chapter 494: Terrifying Thoughts
After listening to this, Su Yue fell into deep thought. Then Murong An and his mother told her a lot more. If she hadn't heard it, she wouldn't have known. When she heard it, she was shocked.
It turns out that during the time of the old King Huai'an, the An Palace had already been doing this. Including the current King Huai'an, the two generations of King Huai have been doing this for a total of forty years.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more terrifying it became. In more than forty years, these people with the surname Murong were able to develop two generations.
The Huai'an Palace captured all the men with the surname Murong. His purpose was self-evident, which was to reproduce the Murong family.
As for why he wanted to reproduce people with the surname Murong, it was undoubtedly for his own use.
After all, these people are royal relatives and have the blood of the Murong royal family flowing in their veins.
Of course, it also paves the way for the Huai'an Palace to come to power in the future.
So many people with the surname Murong paved the way for him. Once he ascended the throne, these people with the surname Murong would regain their status as royal relatives, serve him, and protect him.
Who can do anything to such a huge Murong family?
Moreover, by then, that huge clan would be equivalent to him establishing a new dynasty.
It doesn’t matter whether the old court wants it or not.
What amazed Su Yue the most was that these people with the surname Murong must have hidden industries behind them. It was impossible for all of them to be confiscated by the court. There were so many people with the surname Murong, some of whom had gone through many generations. The industries behind them must be astonishingly numerous.
With so many industries supporting the Huai'an Palace behind the scenes, there is no need to worry about his great cause failing.
No wonder the Lin family, one of the four major families, turned against the king and openly helped King Huai'an.
We don’t know how many there are in secret.
Su Yue was very glad that she came here today and learned about this shocking conspiracy. Of course, these were just her current guesses and the details still needed to be verified.
But she believed that her guess was almost right, and that was how the Huai'an Palace was left.
She was still in shock until Murong Li came to pick her up in person.
"Why are you here?"
Su Yue came to her senses when she saw Murong Li at the door and asked in surprise.
The woman and Murong An knew that this was the current King Li, and Murong An immediately knelt down in front of him.
The woman only bowed in bed.
"I, Murong An, pay my respects to His Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."
"I, the common woman Wei, pay my respects to the prince. May the prince be well and safe."
The rules between mother and son are very standard.
Murong Li glanced at the mother and son, then looked inside the house without entering. He said calmly, "Don't bother with this. Get up."
After saying that, he said to Su Yue: "Is the matter done? Go back if you are done. You haven't even had lunch yet."
"Oh, that's about it, let's go."
Su Yue stood up, took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, handed it to Murong An, and said, "Here are the ten pills. Take one pill a day, and your mother's illness will be cured. If you have any problems in the future, just come to the palace to find me."
Murong An took the medicine bottle, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Princess. I will remember this."
Su Yue glanced at Wei and left a hundred taels of silver for the mother and son before she followed Murong Li out of the yard with her maid.
"Mother, you see, your illness can really be cured, and we have banknotes, so we don't have to starve anymore."
As soon as Su Yue and the others left, Murong An held the medicine bottle and the silver note in front of Wei excitedly and said.
Wei touched her son's head and said gently, "Yes, An'er doesn't have to worry about his mother's illness in the future. When his mother recovers, she will wash clothes and cook for An'er every day and watch him grow up to be a real son."
Murong Li scratched his messy hair and said embarrassedly: "When my son gets married in the future, he will marry someone like the princess, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, like a living Bodhisattva."
"An'er, the princess is indeed beautiful and kind-hearted. We must remember her kindness. However, we cannot reach such a person. An'er, do you understand?"
Wei said to Murong An earnestly that her son was young and knew nothing, and who was Prince Li? He was the only prince under the emperor. If nothing unexpected happened, Prince Li must be the emperor.
But, he is the one who attracts jealousy. Isn’t King Huai’an one of them?
It’s better not to approach people like them, as that would bring disaster.
Who knows who will win, so they should try their best to protect themselves. She only hopes that they and their child will be safe, not rich and powerful.
"I heard Hongyu talk about the situation here. You don't have to worry about the rest. I have asked someone to investigate."
As soon as he came out of the alley, Murong Li wrinkled his nose and said, the smell here is really hard to describe.
He had only heard of this place but had never been there. He never imagined that there was such a place next to the palace that was even worse than a slum.
Su Yue knew he was angry, so she stepped forward and automatically held his hand and asked, "Are you okay this afternoon?"
Murong Li felt her soft hands holding him, and then he tightened his grip. His mood inexplicably improved, and he nodded: "With you here, how can I be in the mood to do anything?"
Su Yue quickly said: "Fortunately, we came here today, otherwise if something happened in the future, we would be in real trouble."
Murong Li glanced at her and knew that she was asking for credit. He said quickly, "Yue'er's contribution is not small. After the matter of Huai'an Palace is resolved, I will ask my father for a reward for you."
"Tsk, forget it."
She even asked the emperor for a reward. She knew that the emperor was ready to abdicate the throne to her, so why didn't she say that he was rewarding her?
Koumen is dead.
Murong Li glanced at her without saying anything, and the two of them quickly got on the carriage and went straight back to Prince Li's Mansion.
"Hongye, go to the kitchen and bring the meal to your princess directly to Lingxiao Courtyard."
As soon as he entered the palace, Murong Li said, and then he took Su Yue's hand and went to Lingxiao Courtyard.
"Did the old man say something about you in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Seeing that Murong Li was not in a good mood, Su Yue asked him.
"No."
Murong Li simply replied with two words.
"Then who are you showing your sour face to?"
Murong Li turned around to look at her face and said faintly, "Yu'er, don't you really know?"
He was more wronged than Dou E. Today, the old marquis made some insinuations about him, saying that they had been married for three years but had no children.
Saying that he can't have children means that he doesn't want to have children?
He died unjustly. Was it because he didn't want to have children? It was her granddaughter who didn't want to have children.
How can he give birth alone?
Su Yue was confused: "What do I know?"
"What didn't your grandfather tell you?"
Su Yue shook her head: "I didn't say anything."
Murong Li: "Then forget it. You go back and have dinner. I'll go to the study to take care of official business."
"oh."
Su Yue looked at Murong Li as he left, and felt that he was being stubborn and strange. She quickly said to Hong Ye behind her, "Send someone back to the Marquis' Mansion to find out what the prince and the old man said."
"Yes, Princess."
Hongye responded and went to make arrangements.
Su Yue returned to the yard alone, wondering if Murong Li had been killed by the old marquis?
