Now Yao Guangyue finally understood that the seal was applauding in his heart.
[This means that my second uncle will not be implicated. If someone wrongly accuses him, he can use the golden medal of immunity to save his own life and then go back to get his military pay. Once the pay is recovered, it can be used to treat more people.]
As long as the people don't die, the plot will be ruined. Furthermore, with my second uncle's abilities, he might be able to recover the fake medicine that escaped. Therefore, the fundamental reason for ruining the plot is to protect the lives of the people.
[Congratulations to the host for his sudden realization. Only when the people are alive can they provide a continuous supply of faith. If they die, the source of faith will be cut off.]
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that his decision to issue the golden medal of immunity from death was correct.
The imperial concubine and General Mu looked at each other. General Mu originally wanted to persuade the emperor not to grant the golden medal of immunity from death so easily.
After all, since the founding of this dynasty, it is rare to hear of a golden medal of immunity from death. Once the Mu family accepts it, they will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of people in the court.
But after hearing what Yao Guangyue said, General Mu suddenly felt that staying was the right choice.
"Then I, an old minister, would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Old Mu looked very touched.
The emperor was also surprised that General Mu was so easy to talk to this time. He had to seize the time to win back the hearts of the people while General Mu was coming to his senses.
"Old General, there's no need for formalities. The Mu family has been loyal for generations, taking it as their duty to defend the Yaoguang Nation. It's only right that you grant me the golden medal of immunity from death."
As he was speaking, the eunuch had already brought in a very luxurious brocade box. After opening the box, a golden tiger-head token was placed in the center of the golden silk.
Yao Guangyue struggled to take a look, but because her lumbar spine and neck were too soft, she couldn't see anything at all. Her fair and soft little face was full of displeasure.
[Oh, when will he grow up? I really want to see him. My body is too soft, and I can't speak or do anything. If I could speak soon, maybe the plot will collapse even faster!]
General Mu heard his granddaughter's thoughts, took the gold medal, opened it happily, and saluted the emperor to express his gratitude.
I also let my granddaughter take a closer look.
[Wow, this is pure gold! I've only seen gold this big as a gift from Michelin stars!]
[Oh, I finally made it here, but I ended up here again. I really want to go back!]
When the emperor heard that his little Qilin wanted to return to the realm of gods, he was so scared that he quickly asked someone to bring a box of gold, saying that it was a gift for the little princess.
It is said that no one knows a girl better than her mother, and it is true. When the imperial concubine saw the small gold bars, she took one and placed it on Yao Guangyue's belly.
"Yue'er, look how much your father loves you. This is all for you. Touch it!"
Yao Guangyue was very happy. She grabbed the gold bar and was about to put it into her mouth. As expected, when she saw gold, she would always forget that she had no teeth.
[Is this what it feels like to be rich? If the Yaoguang Kingdom doesn't perish, it wouldn't be so bad for me to be a princess with no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life!]
Hearing that Yao Guangyue was not leaving, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even the old general slightly loosened his clenched fists.
The news that the Mu family had received the emperor's golden medal of immunity from death spread throughout the court and the country within half a day. The queen in the harem even smashed several Jianzhan teapots when she heard the news.
"Damn it, it's really damned! What right did the Mu family have? They've only given out two death-avoidance medals since the founding of the dynasty, and they actually got the second one!"
The queen was in a rage when the maid brought her a letter from the prime minister. When the queen saw her father's handwriting, she got a headache.
So he waved his hand and said impatiently: "You read it to me, but I don't want to see it!"
The palace maids opened the letter tremblingly. You know, in the outside world, the queen has always been known as a gentle and virtuous woman. Only they know that when the queen gets angry, it is not a joke. Occasionally, she will kill a few palace maids in a fight, and no one will know.
After seeing the contents of the letter, the palace maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to read it at all.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Please spare me, Your Majesty. I really don't dare to recite it!"
The queen was truly exhausted both physically and mentally at this point. She knew without even reading the contents of the letter that it was definitely accusing her of being useless.
As the Empress, she had been in the palace for many years but had no children. Originally, her family and the Mu family were equally powerful in the court.
But because Mu Chujin gave birth to a demon-like daughter, the emperor became even more confused.
Now that the Mu family has firmly dominated the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can she not be angry?
"No need to read it. I remember you said that Concubine Shu could control snakes?"
The young maid knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed repeatedly, answering, "To answer your Majesty, when Shupin was young, she lived in the mountains with her grandfather and learned the art of controlling snakes."
When the queen heard this, she smiled sinisterly and gently picked up the beads in her hand.
"Then go ask Shupin to talk. We are all sisters in the harem, and I should care more about her."
At this time, the queen had already taken action, but she didn't know that she had already lost the initiative.
On the other side, the Mu family received the golden medal of immunity from death and left the palace with profuse gratitude, but the emperor did not leave the imperial concubine's palace.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually moved all his memorials to the imperial concubine's residence, saying that he wanted the little princess to accompany him to review the memorials.
This made the Imperial Concubine a little panicked. Fortunately, the Queen Mother hadn't returned yet. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been punished by copying Buddhist scriptures because of the prohibition of interfering in government affairs?!
The imperial concubine frowned in thought, then decided to persuade the emperor: "Your Majesty, most of these memorials concern state affairs. Why don't you return to the Imperial Library to review them? If you can't let go of the little princess, it would be just as well for me to carry her to you."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the emperor shook his head and rejected the proposal, and opened the memorial and placed it in front of Yao Guangyue.
This scared the imperial concubine, and Yao Guangyue's mind was also full of question marks, and she couldn't help but question herself in her heart.
"My Emperor father, what are you doing? I haven't even grown teeth yet, and you're asking me to read memorials? Have you ever considered that I can't read? I... eh? Why are all the drawings on this memorial flowers?"
Yao Guangyue was still complaining in her heart, when she looked down at the memorial, she saw that it was covered with flowers and plants, and there seemed to be some annotations next to it, but the ancient characters really had to be half seen and half guessed.
But I roughly understood a few of them and they seem to be Chinese herbal medicines?
The emperor saw Yao Guangyue was worried and couldn't help laughing as he explained, "Don't worry, these memorials I brought here were all submitted by Prince Fu. They all depict Chinese herbal medicines from our dynasty. This child plans to compile a book called 'Bai Cao Jing' and list all the famous medicinal herbs from our dynasty, so he sent them here for me to take a look."
