After two days, news finally came from the direction of Kyoto, King Yue handed the letter to Mu Yunyao, with a smile on his lips: "Thanks to your reminder, I had people focus on investigating the bank, and I really found it. some clues."
Mu Yunyao looked at the contents of the letter, her eyes moved slightly: "Count the days, even if King Jin spends money like water, there should be a large amount of silver that has not been exchanged, and the fourth master can find the whereabouts of those silver taels. "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Aunt Huang." King Yue said with a smile, "Aunt Huang was very angry after learning that King Jin had tried to hide the truth of the salt tax deficiencies case and tried to let people burst the embankment and flood the city. They moved Concubine Zhen, but unexpectedly, the Li family took the opportunity to impeach Concubine Zhen's family, and convicted Concubine Zhen's two brothers.
All of them went to jail. When our people checked the bank, they happened to find these two brothers and took all the remaining bank notes. "
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "No wonder King Jin's reaction was so great after hearing about the accident at the mother's house. It turns out that there is still so much money involved. How many silver taels are there in total?"
"Two million and seven hundred thousand taels." King Yue did not expect King Jin to be so relieved to hand over such a large sum of money to Concubine Zhen's two brothers who failed to take care of them. Perhaps it was because of this that it was enough to hide people's eyes and ears. It's a pity This time cleverness was mistaken by cleverness.
"That's really nowhere to be found. It takes no effort to get it. Fourth Master, I think it's time for us to go back to Beijing." Mu Yunyao smiled slyly.
King Yue nodded: "Okay, I'll go and tell the second brother, you can ask Siqin and others to help with packing."
"Yeah." When King Yue left, Mu Yunyao immediately called Siqin and the others over, and after instructing them to pack up and salute carefully, they waited for a while and then went to Xu Qi's room.
Xu Qi was stunned when he heard the maid come to report that Mu Yunyao was coming, and he quickly invited her in: "I have seen the county master, why did you come here in person, but what's the matter?"
"Sister Xu doesn't need to be polite. The weather is good during this time, and the river embankment has been built very smoothly. His Royal Highness Yue Wang said that we can't help us by staying here. It's better to return to the capital earlier and return to the emperor."
Xu Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's true, you and His Royal Highness King Yue have been away from the capital for a long time. Princess Yide and Madam Huiyi have always missed you."
"Sister Xu, let's have someone pack up. If there is no accident, we will leave for Kyoto early tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
After gossiping for a while, Xu Qi sent Mu Yunyao away, and then sat on the chair with a sullen look.
The maid on the side looked at her appearance, and she was very worried: "Miss, the servants advised you not to come, but you didn't give up. You have suffered a lot along the way, but His Royal Highness King Yue didn't even see you. On the one hand, it's really too cold."
Xu Qi smiled bitterly: "I thought I had a relationship in the past, how could His Royal Highness King Yue treat me a little differently, but I didn't expect that I was nothing in his eyes."
"Miss, you have a clear mind, and you should think better than the slave servants. Since His Royal Highness King Yue has no intentions, why waste your time on him? In Kyoto, there are many young talents who want to marry you. Why not Looking for someone who treats Miss like a treasure?"
"You don't understand." Xu Qi took out a purse from his sleeve. The workmanship of the purse was not exquisite, the stitches looked rough, and the fabric looked very old. At a glance, he knew that it was something from many years ago, "Help me clean up. Let's go back together tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
At night, Mu Yunyao accompanied the poisonous lady to see the things she bought. She didn't know what this person thought. She even bought a bunch of sugar paintings. She didn't know when she saw the sugar paintings turn into sugar water tomorrow. Vice what kind of expression.
After finally dismissing the person, Mu Yunyao was ready to go to bed after grooming. As soon as she took off her jacket, she heard the window being tapped three times.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but open the window and asked with a smile, "I've already said that I don't want to eat the candy paintings you bought, so I still don't give up... Fourth Master?"
Outside the window, King Yue was dressed in a black long gown, and the moonlight slowly poured down on him like water, making him look more and more handsome: "Who did you think you were?" The eyes are getting deeper and deeper, as if they can take in the soul of a person.
Mu Yunyao's chest trembled slightly: "I... I thought it was a poisonous lady, she often jokes with me like this."
King Yue looked at the coat that Mu Yunyao was wearing, stepped on the window and jumped into the room, helping her to tidy up the coat.
Mu Yunyao wanted to step back when she found out that her clothes were disheveled, but was pulled by King Yue, so she could only stand on the spot with a slightly red face: "Fourth Master, we will leave tomorrow, you are not early tonight. Take a break?"
King Yue didn't make a sound, and after helping Mu Yunyao tidy up his clothes, he raised his hand and took the cloak placed on one side, wrapped it around Mu Yunyao, bent over and carried her out.
Mu Yunyao exclaimed and subconsciously hugged King Yue's neck: "Fourth Master?"
King Yue lowered his head, with a slight smile on his face: "Shh, don't wake anyone up, I'll take you to admire the moon." After speaking, he jumped onto the windowsill and flew out of the yard.
Mu Yunyao bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes were crystal clear, and the sound of wind blew past her ears, and the corner of her cloak made a strong sound.
King Yue took Mu Yunyao out of the yard, put her on the horse's back gently, then turned over and sat behind her, flicked the reins, and the black horse ran forward quickly.
Mu Yunyao leaned against King Yue, feeling the temperature from his chest, and felt extremely happy in her heart.
When they reached the gate of the city, some guards had already opened the gate: "Respectfully send off His Royal Highness King Yue and Princess Wenxian."
After leaving the city gate, the speed of the horses was even faster, and the sound of the hooves became lighter under the quiet moonlight. The surrounding scenery quickly retreated, reflecting the starlight in the sky, making Mu Yunyao feel that her heart was about to fly.
After running for a long distance, King Yue stopped his horse and took her down carefully: "Yao'er, I said earlier that I would take you on a horse, but there has been no chance. Do you like it today?"
Mu Yunyao's heart was full of joy, and her eyes became more and more crystal clear. She looked at the surrounding woods, looked up at the moonlight, and jokingly said, "Fourth Master brought me here to admire the moon?"
King Yue held her hand, smiled slightly, and walked forward with her.
Not long after walking, Mu Yunyao heard the gurgling sound of running water, bypassing the woods in front, and a quiet lake appeared in front of her. The lake is open, and you can't see the edge at a glance. In the distance, the night sky and the lake intersect, making it seem that the stars are low and all sounds are quiet.
