Chapter 526
After two days, news finally spread out from the capital, and the Winged King passed the letter to Mu Yunyao. His lips curled into a happy smile as he said,
"Thank you for your reminder, but I sent people to investigate the bank and really found some clues.
"
Mu Yunyao looked at the contents of the letter and her eyes slightly moved.
"Counting the days, even if Prince Jin spends his money like water, he should still have a large amount of silver coins that he has yet to exchange. Has 4th Master found the location of those silver coins?
" Speaking of which, I have to thank Imperial Aunt.
"
"When my imperial aunt found out that Prince Jin had tried to hide the truth about the salt tax loss, and had managed to get someone to burst the wall and flood the city, she became extremely angry.
All the bosses had been sent to prison. When our people were investigating the bank, they coincidentally found these two brothers and brought the remaining banknotes over.
"
Mu Yunyao's eyes couldn't help lighting up.
"No wonder Prince Jin's reaction was so huge after I heard about my mother's accident. So there's actually so much silver involved. How much silver is left in the banknotes?
"
"Two million seven hundred thousand.
" Even King Yue did not expect King Jin to give such a large amount of silver to his two good-for-nothing brothers. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to fool others, but unfortunately, his intelligence was misdirected.
"That's really finding a place with broken iron shoes. I can get it with no trouble at all. Fourth Master, I think it's time for us to return to the capital.
" Mu Yunyao had a crafty smile on her face. Everything was ready now, and only the east wind was left.
Yue Yang nodded his head:
"Alright, I'll go tell second brother that you need Si Qin and the others to help you pack your things.
"
"Yes.
" When King Fu left, Mu Yunyao immediately called for Si Qin and the rest. She instructed them to prepare and bow carefully. After waiting for a while, she went to Xu Qi's room.
Xu Qi was still in a daze, when he heard the maid come to report Mu Yunyao's arrival. He immediately had her invited in,
"Greetings, Princess. Why are you here personally? What's the matter?
"
Xu Qi was stunned for a moment before nodding his head,
"That's true. You and Prince Fu have left the capital for quite some time. Grand Princess Yi and Lady Yi have been missing you two.
"
"Elder sister Xu, get someone to pack up their things as well. If nothing goes wrong, tomorrow morning, we will set out for the capital.
"
"Alright.
"
After chatting for a while longer, Xu Qi sent Mu Yunyao off before sitting on a chair with a dispirited expression.
When the maid at the side saw her expression, she was extremely worried.
"Miss, earlier this servant advised you not to come, but you refused to give up and suffered so much along the way, yet Your Highness did not even see you once. This is too much.
"
Xu Qi laughed bitterly:
"I had thought that they had the same feelings for each other before, why would King Yue treat me differently, but I never expected that I am nothing in his eyes.
"
"Miss, your thoughts are clear, but you should understand it better than this servant. Since your highness the Titan King is not interested, why waste your time on him? In the capital, there are many young talents who would like to marry you. Why not find someone who would treat the young lady like a treasure?
"
"You don't understand.
" Xu Qi took out a bag from her sleeve. The work of making the bag wasn't exquisite, and the stitches and stitches on the bag looked rough, while the fabric also looked very old. It was obvious that it was something from many years ago,
"Help me pack up, we'll go back together with you tomorrow.
"
"Yes, miss.
"
At night, Mu Yunyao accompanied the Poison Lady to look at the things she had bought. She didn't know what this person was thinking, but he had actually bought a bunch of candies. Who knew what kind of expression he would have when she saw them turning into candies tomorrow?
It wasn't easy to get her to leave. Mu Yunyao finished washing up and was preparing to go to bed. Just as she took off her outer clothes, she heard three light knocks on the window.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel helpless. As she opened the window, she asked while smiling,
"I already said that I won't eat the candy you bought, and I still won't give up …. Master Four?
"
Outside the window, King Yue was wearing a black robe. The moonlight was like water that slowly poured down and shone on his body, causing him to appear even more handsome.
"Who did you just think it was?
" In the darkness of the night, the lines on his face appeared much gentler. His eyes seemed even more profound, as if he could absorb a person's soul into his eyes.
Mu Yunyao's chest slightly trembled.
"I … I thought she was a venomous woman, and she used to joke with me like that.
"
King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao's outer garment and jumped into the room through the window. He then helped her to tidy up the outer garment.
Mu Yunyao discovered that she wanted to retreat after her clothes were messed up, but she was pulled back by Yue Yang. She could only stand there with a slightly flushed face,
"Fourth Master, we're leaving tomorrow. Aren't you resting earlier tonight?
"
Yue Wang didn't make a sound, his actions slightly stiff as he helped Mu Yunyao straighten her clothes. He lifted up his hand to grab the cloak that was placed at the side, wrapped it around Mu Yunyao, and then bent over to carry her out.
Mu Yunyao cried out in alarm as she subconsciously hugged King Yue's neck.
"Fourth Master?
"
Yue Yang lowered his head, a slight smile on his face:
"Shh, don't wake people up, I will bring you to enjoy the moon.
" After saying that, he jumped onto the windowsill and flew out of the yard.
Mu Yunyao slightly bit down on her lower lip, her eyes sparkling and translucent. Wind blew past her ears, and the corner of her cloak made a fierce sound as it blew.
The Winged King carried Mu Yunyao out of the courtyard and gently placed her on the horse's back. Then, he mounted the horse and sat behind her. With a flick of the reins, the black steed galloped away.
Mu Yunyao stuck close to King Yue and felt the warmth from his chest. She felt an abnormal joy in her heart.
When they arrived at the city gates, a guard had already opened the gates.
"Respectfully sending off your highness, your highness, and Princess Wen Xian.
"
After leaving the city gates, the horses were even faster. The sounds of the horses' hooves became even more gentle under the tranquil moonlight. The surrounding scenery quickly retreated, and against the sky that was filled with starlight, Mu Yunyao felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
After running for a long distance, King Yue stopped his horse and carefully brought her down.
"Yao'er, earlier I said that I would ride with you, but I never had the chance. Do you like it today?
"
Mu Yunyao's heart was filled with joy, but her eyes were sparkling and translucent. She looked at the surrounding forest, then raised her head and looked at the moonlight. She jokingly said,
"Fourth Master brought me here to admire the moon?
"
King Yue held her hand and smiled faintly before bringing her along with him.
After walking not too far, Mu Yunyao heard the sound of flowing water. After circling around the forest in front of her, a tranquil lake appeared in front of her. In the distance, the night sky and the lake intersected. The stars seemed to be hanging low in the sky, but everything was quiet and still. The lake's surface seemed to be reflecting the starry sky from afar, making it hard to tell if it was the night sky or the water of the lake.
