Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Mu Yunyao waved to Wei Yi, who nodded in salute, then got up and disappeared without a trace.

Elder Princess Yide pulled Mu Yunyao to sit aside, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's a long story. After I assisted the emperor to ascend the throne, I was coerced by the family everywhere, so that the emperor's decree If it doesn’t work out, the court and the central government form a party for private interests, and the common people are in dire straits and suffer unspeakably.”

"The first leader of the Shadow Guard was Wei Yi's father. He was an assassin I rescued. He was assigned by the family to enter the palace to assassinate me. Later, he changed his mind for some reason, and became my saviour. Dark guards. There were ten shadow guards in the first generation, all carefully trained by Wei Yi's father. Up to now, there are only twenty guards, and each one is carefully selected, like a gu. The killers fought with each other and competed for the seat of the Shadow Guard, and the losers were wiped out. Because this method is too cruel, after cleaning up the family, the emperor will not use them easily."

Raising Gu?

Mu Yunyao's thoughts moved slightly. She had naturally heard about the method of raising Gu in Yunzhou. She selected hundreds of Gu worms and put them in a container, but the food given was extremely limited. Slowly, the Gu worms lost their appetite As they get bigger and bigger, they can only kill each other and compete for the right to live. In the end, hundreds of Gu worms will give birth to the most powerful worm king.

It would be cruel indeed if the Shadow Guards also used this method to compete for seats.

Princess Yide went on to say: "A few days ago, the emperor once again used the shadow guards to investigate the case of hiding silver on beggars in the capital. After finding the head of King Jin, he was too angry and hurt his body for a while. Now it’s still lingering and not seeing good.”

Mu Yunyao quickly raised her head: "Grandmother, the selection of the Shadow Guards is so strict, and their skills are naturally unpredictable. We must be able to find out that this matter was guided secretly by me and King Yue. Did you help stop it?"

"The Shadow Guard was established to protect my safety. Although all the people have changed, the original intention remains the same. I handed over the dragon pendant that mobilized the Shadow Guard to the emperor, so the emperor can call them , but in their hearts, only I am their real master, of course, now that I have handed over the Shadow Guard to you, you will be their master from now on."

"Grandmother, this responsibility is too great for Yunyao to take on." Mu Yunyao shook her head solemnly and refused.

Princess Yide smiled: "I only have one daughter from your mother, and you are my only descendant. It is reasonable to take over the power behind me. Yaoer, you are talented, and I believe you can do it." very good."

"Grandmother, this burden is too heavy." In the past, she just wanted to live by her mother, protect her safety, and let her live a long life. Now that she has Princess Yide, her grandmother, and Yue Wang, her sweetheart, her future is becoming more and more colorful, but what she always thinks about is how to let the people she cares about live well, just like what King Yue said , What kind of country, what kind of people, what kind of people, in her heart, there can't be the slightest disturbance.

"Silly Yaoer, where did you go? The Shadow Guards only have 20 people in the area, and they have their own property secretly. At most, you need to pay some silver. Your Niyunfang and Buxianlou have earned so much money. Too much money, can't you still afford the expenses of these twenty people?"

"Grandmother, there is no problem with 20 people, but the Shadow Guard involves a lot..."

"Is it important or not, grandma handed over the Shadow Guard to you, just to protect your safety and facilitate you to deal with some things." Seeing Mu Yunyao froze, Princess Yide reached out to stroke her hair, "Grandmother is actually very selfish. She helped the emperor ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but she wanted to have someone to rely on in the future, so that she could live a rich and worry-free life. At that time, in the battles in the palace, the winner and the loser were either you or me. , what I think about the most is how to let myself live well, not for the people of the world and the country."

Mu Yunyao blinked in a daze, feeling unable to react: "I always thought that the reason why my grandmother helped the emperor at the beginning was because the emperor was generous and thoughtful of the people of the world."

"At that time, I didn't have the heart to think so much. Besides, the emperor was not favored when he was a child, and he was not assigned many errands when he grew up. Although he looks honest and reliable, no one can say what will happen after becoming a king. Sure, how can you think so long-term. Just like Yunyao, did you create Niyunfang and Buxianlou for the benefit of the people?"

"No, at that time I only thought about earning more money so that I could live a better life."

"That's right. Grandma doesn't ask you to bear anything. I just hope that you and King Yue can live a good life in the future and do what you want. This is enough. Besides, grandma is getting old. You Let me take a rest too, the rest of the world is still dominated by you young people."

Princess Yide has kind eyes. She understands the nature of Yunyao and Junyue. They are good children, just like Yunyao. , Take this Linjiang embankment breach as an example, without the timely help of Niyunfang and Buxianlou, the disaster would never have subsided so easily.

Mu Yunyao thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will agree."

"Good boy, for so many years, the Shadow Guard has been controlled by the emperor. I don't know exactly what happened. If you don't understand anything, just ask Wei Yi directly. This dragon pendant must stay with me first. Here, after all, it was handed over to me by the emperor himself, and I can’t give it to you now. But don’t worry, the Shadow Guards only recognize people but not tokens, as long as it’s your order, they will never disobey it.”

"it is good."

Mu Yunyao returned to her room, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly called out: "Wei Yi."

There was a sound from the window, and then Wei Yi's figure appeared in the room: "The slave, Wei Yi, has seen the master."

Mu Yunyao's eyes lit up: "What a handsome skill."

"Thank you, master, for your compliment."

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her eyes: "Wei Yi, since I am your master, shouldn't you tell me everything and everything?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then let me ask you, do you know about King Yue's life experience?" The Shadow Guard helped eliminate the six great families, so he might know the inside story back then.

"I know." Wei has always answered straightforwardly.

Mu Yunyao was startled, and couldn't help but sit up straight and look over: "What's hidden about King Yue's life experience?"

"His Royal Highness King Yue is not the emperor's own son, but the son of Luo Kun, the head of the Luo family, the head of the six families that were destroyed at the beginning."
