After the second morning assembly ended, Yuwen Di left Prince Mu behind.
Prince Mu was confused, he could not think of the reason why Yuwen Di left him alone. Mu Chuyang had just recovered from his illness, so Prince Mu was still a little worried. He thought that after the morning assembly ends, if he passed by Jade House, he would bring some pastries back for Mu Chuyang, and also thanked the shopkeeper for bringing Mu Chuyang back to Prince Mu's Mansion last time.
Fortunately, Mu Chuyang had already woken up, and his body was more than half healthy. If not, when Yuwen Di and the Prince Mu were discussing matters, the Prince Mu would not be here, and would instead be angry at Yuwen Di.
Prince Mu followed Yuwen Di to the imperial study. It had been a while since Prince Mu last visited and he saw that the furnishings in the imperial study were still the same.
"Your Majesty summoned this humble subject. Is there anything that this humble subject needs to discuss with you? Or is there something this humble subject should do? " Prince Mu knew that Duan Yunfei would definitely not tell Yuwen Di that she had expressed her feelings to him, so he did not think about the reason why Yuwen Di had summoned him.
The reason why Yuwen Di had summoned the Prince Mu today was because of Duan Yunfei, but it was also because of the matter of Jiang Nan becoming a water pest. Duan Yunfei was not really that anxious about her marriage, but the matter of Jiang Nan getting wet was like a huge rock pressing on Yuwen Di's heart, making it hard for him to breathe. In addition to the imperial edict, the more Yuwen Di thought about it, the more furious he became. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, these officials were actually so presumptuous, they did not even put the imperial law in their eyes.
"Why is Prince Mu in such a hurry? Sit down first. I have indeed summoned you here today because I have something that I wish to discuss with you. " Seeing that Prince Mu did not sit down after entering the imperial study, Yuwen Di remembered that he had not given him a seat, and that today's discussion was a major event that would definitely take some time, so Yuwen Di quickly asked Prince Mu to sit down.
Prince Mu listened and sat down, but Yuwen Di's expression was solemn, causing him to feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"May I know the reason why Your Majesty summoned this humble subject?"
Seeing Prince Mu being in such a hurry, Yuwen Di thought that perhaps it was because Mu Chuyang had just woken up. Since Prince Mu was not at ease with Mu Chuyang, he did not beat around the bush anymore, and directly told his the reason why she had come to find him.
"Does Prince Mu know about the situation with the Jiangnan River?"
"Of course. Although the south of the Yangtze is vulnerable to flooding at this time of year, it is particularly severe this year. This humble subject heard that the lower reaches of the Yellow River had been flooded and suffered heavy casualties. The commoners could run if they wanted to, but those who couldn't could only wait for their deaths. It was truly pitiful. This humble subject heard that His Majesty has sent someone to relieve the disaster? Is the disaster not going well? "
Although Prince Mu was a soldier that led his men to war, he was still very concerned about the lives of the citizens. Ever since he heard that the Jiangnan River was seriously ill, Prince Mu took the lead and gave the Prince Mu's Mansion's silver taels to the Ministry of Revenue. In order for the Ministry of Revenue to hand the money over to the citizens, he hoped that they could rebuild their home as soon as possible.
Yuwen Di knew that the Prince Mu was collecting donations for the citizens of the affected area, and it was precisely because of this that he felt even more furious. In the imperial court, there were people like the Prince Mu and the Minister of the Left, who were honest and loyal to the safety of the citizens.
"What I want to tell you is, at this time, do you know that the government sent the disaster relief money to Jiangnan region has been swallowed?"
The Prince Mu did not know about this matter. He was always honest and did not expect that there would be an official that would take the lives of the commoners.
"To have done such a thing, what a shame. Does Your Majesty know who did this?" When the Prince Mu heard about this, he was extremely furious. He really wanted to rescue the officials who were doing this and beat them up, but of course, beating them up was still far from enough.
"I am investigating this matter, but I didn't expect that under my rule, I would actually be unable to stop these dog slaves from doing such things." "My beloved daughter, I hope that you can help me investigate this matter." Yuwen Di knew that the Prince Mu did not care about matters like this in the imperial court, but this matter was related to the citizens of Jiangnan.
"This humble subject obeys the decree."
Just as Prince Mu thought that Yuwen Di had finished speaking, Yuwen Di suddenly mentioned Mu Chuyang, which made him anxious.
"I still have something to discuss with my beloved one." Yuwen Di was neither hurried nor slow. This matter was related to Mu Chuyang's marriage, so the Prince Mu should also need to think carefully. Although Duan Yunfei was Yuwen Di's beloved daughter, Prince Mu was still Yuwen Di's important subject, and Mu Chuyang was only interested in her, if Prince Mu's Mansion was not willing to accept the marriage, Yuwen Di would also not force her.
"I heard that Chu Yang has woken up. Is Chu Yang better now?"
"Your majesty, don't worry, Chu Yang's body is already more than half healed. After a few days of Chu Yang's recovery, this humble subject will definitely bring Chu Yang to the palace to thank your majesty. If it wasn't for the fact that His Majesty had sent the Imperial Physician Ji as the princess, who knows when Chu Yang would have woken up. "
Prince Mu had a bad premonition, he felt that Yuwen Di suddenly mentioning Mu Chuyang must be because Yuwen Di knew something. If Yuwen Di knew that Duan Yunfei was depressed because of Mu Chuyang, based on Duan Yunfei's position in her heart, Yuwen Di would probably have a bad impression of him.
"Chu Yang is a child that we have watched grow up. Hearing that he is sick, it is only right for us to send an imperial physician. Chu Yang is so smart since young, none of our sons could beat him, you are lucky too. "
The Prince Mu hoped that Yuwen Di could explain everything directly. The more Yuwen Di praised Mu Chuyang, the more nervous he became.
Then, Yuwen Di changed the subject and started to get down to business.
"I believe that our beloved one should also know that we are negotiating the marriage for the Thirteenth Princess, right? After thinking about it, we feel that Chu Yang is not bad, and that he and Yun Fei grew up together. The two of them have some feelings for each other. Chu Yang has already reached the age where he should get married, so we wanted to ask our beloved one to go back and tell Chu Yang about this matter. However, there is no need to worry about a beloved official. I am unwilling to interfere with the feelings of a child. If Chu Yang had no intentions, then we would not have forced him to marry Yun Fei. Of course, if Chu Yang already has someone he cares about, we will definitely help him get married. "
Could it be that Yuwen Di still did not know what happened between Mu Chuyang and him? However, why had Yuwen Di only mentioned about giving Mu Chuyang and Duan Yunfei a marriage order until now?
"This humble subject does not know what Chu Yang is thinking. After this humble subject returns today, I will ask Chu Yang what he thinks. This humble subject has always liked the Thirteenth Princess as well. If Chu Yang is able to marry into the Thirteenth Princess, that would be Chu Yang's fortune. "
