Chapter 260 Sending the Wealthy Woman
Murong Li looked at the remaining ones and found some things that made him happy. For example, the coal had arrived in the capital before them and was now being sold in the capital at a very high price.
The black pieces dug out from the ground with just a little bit of manual labor were actually sold for one or two taels of silver per pound.
That thing is very heavy. A piece the size of a palm weighs several pounds, which is about the same as the weight of a pickaxe, and is worth several taels.
Murong Li curled his lips and smiled. His Yue'er was just a money-giving woman. The profits of his bank and his business over the years were probably not as much as the profits from selling coal in one year.
After Murong Li finished reading everything, he issued a few instructions.
That night, several officials in the capital city and their families mysteriously disappeared. When people found them, the houses were already empty.
People couldn't help but wonder in their hearts whether these people fled because they saw the prince fall.
But the princelings don't think so. This matter is definitely not as simple as running away.
All under heaven belongs to the king. Where can you escape to? You might as well meet the King of Hell.
This kind of thundering measure really frightened those who were ready to make a move.
After Murong Li finished his work and returned to the bedroom, Su Yue was already asleep. He kissed her on the face and forehead before lying down beside her. He turned over and held her in his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Su Yue blinked and scanned with her mental power. It was already the late night, but she did not move. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
The next morning, Murong Li and his companion went to the palace early. Su Yue helped the emperor prepare nutritious meals, while Murong Li helped the emperor deal with matters in the court.
There are so many memorials piled up that they could bury a person.
The former crown prince was so busy planning things that he had no time to read these memorials for almost a month.
Murong Li shook his head. It was impossible to act like this. No matter what, he couldn't miss the important matter.
If there is an extremely urgent memorial, won’t the world be in chaos?
Murong Li was secretly complaining, but he picked up the memorial and started reading it.
Every time he read a memorial, he would make comments on it.
After the instructions were approved, the eunuchs took them to the emperor for review.
After seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but admire his son, who was born to be an emperor and was much better at handling things than him.
When it came to withdrawing money, he approved it without hesitation. When someone wanted to promote an official, he simply rejected it.
He knew clearly whether these people could be promoted or not, but he did not expect that Lao Wu not only did not raise any issue but also raised his own opinions. For example, if this official wanted to be promoted, he had to be tried out first and only be promoted after he had achieved results.
This method is really good. Having previous political achievements does not mean that one has the ability to handle higher-level affairs.
The emperor looked at the memorials and felt that he was not teaching his son how to do things, but he learned a lot from them.
How could he know that Murong Li's way of dealing with things mostly came from the knowledge in the space study, and he didn't learn it for nothing.
For example, if there is a water conservancy project, he will use cement, and he plans to open a workshop in the capital to produce it.
The emperor didn't know what cement was, so Murong Li told him directly that it was he who invented it and that Luo Dinghai had mastered it completely. The emperor was so happy that he immediately issued an order to let Luo Dinghai return to the Ministry of Works and serve as a fourth-rank minister.
On the other hand, Murong Yi went to the Ministry of War to report early in the morning. He came from the modern times and understood the rules of the workplace very well. He had no airs of a prince at all. He was very humble and amiable, and he quickly won the favor of the Ministry of War.
Not sharp at all.
Things were not going well for Su Yue. After she arrived at Taigan Palace and paid her respects to the Emperor and Concubine Yun, she went to the imperial kitchen and cooked a pot of nutritious breakfast for the Emperor. When she brought it to Taigan Palace, she was stopped by Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun looked at the porridge that looked like it had no nutrition, and her face suddenly fell. In front of all the eunuchs and palace maids, she accused Su Yue: "You are only feeding the emperor and me with this?"
Su Yue's eyes turned cold. She knew that this cheap mother-in-law didn't like her, but she didn't expect her to be so mean as to pick a fight with her here.
She said calmly, "Just eat this. Father is still weak, so he shouldn't take any big tonics. Only warming nourishment is recommended. If mother feels that this breakfast is not suitable for her, she can ask Doctor Gu."
"Then I will eat this too?"
Su Yue's expression remained unchanged: "Mother can eat it too. You've been in the cold palace for a year, and your health is not as good as before. There's nothing wrong with eating this."
"You, are you reminding me?"
Concubine Yun narrowed her eyes. This girl was so bold that she dared to teach her a lesson like this. She said coldly, "Don't forget, you haven't entered the royal jade disc yet. You are not yet considered a royal daughter-in-law. You can only be considered my son's woman."
Su Yue glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who were so afraid to utter a word, and said nonchalantly, "Mother, you can ask the Emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting me marriage, and I can leave Prince Li's mansion."
After saying that, she took the porridge and left without even looking at Concubine Yun. Who was that person? She even glared at him for calling her mother.
So impatient to show off your mother-in-law's power.
Except for Old Madam Yun, no one in the Yun family is good.
"you……"
Concubine Yun looked at Su Yue who was leaving, her teeth chattering.
She glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who were silent as a mouse and said sternly, "Whoever dares to gossip about what happened today will have his tongue pulled out."
After saying that, she returned to her palace. The emperor had bestowed Xihe Palace upon her early this morning, so she went back to make some arrangements. She happened to run into Su Yue. She wanted to show off, but she didn't expect this woman to be so arrogant and not even take her seriously.
Concubine Yun took a deep breath, thinking that there was still a lot of time to go, and she didn't believe that she couldn't get rid of this.
The palace maids and eunuchs then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dispersed.
Of course, no one dared to talk about what happened today, unless they didn't want to live anymore, but they also knew that Princess Li was a fearless person, so they had to be careful when serving her in the future.
When the emperor saw the breakfast brought by Su Yue and smelled the fragrance, that familiar fragrance, he couldn't wait to eat two bowls.
"The cooking skills of the fourth son's wife are comparable to those of the imperial chef. I feel much better after eating this."
The emperor did not forget to praise it after eating.
"As long as your Majesty likes it."
Su Yue smiled and said, "You're just kidding. These are all products from the space. It would be bad if you eat them and it affects your health."
"Hahaha... Father loves to eat. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Go and eat quickly. I have the eunuchs waiting for you."
"Yes, I'll take my leave then." Su Yue gave the rest to Murong Li.
At noon, he prepared a delicious meal for them and their son, and the emperor enjoyed the meal as usual.
Concubine Yun did not come to cause trouble in the afternoon, and only met her on the way back to Taigan Palace.
Seeing that both of their faces were black, they bowed and left the palace.
At night, when the two returned to Lingxiao Courtyard, Murong Li asked, "Yuer, the way Mother looked at you today made it seem like she didn't like you. Did you two have any conflict today?"
