The emperor did not send anyone to take over the three mineral veins that Xiao Zuochen found. He would leave the world to his beloved son in the end, so it would be meaningless to take it now, so he simply let Xiao Zuochen send someone to manage it himself and pay some taxes every year. Therefore, the mineral veins were not announced to the public, and it was only said that the three boxes were given by Prince Yun to show his filial piety to the emperor.

Prince Yun left his study and went to Yun Garden to visit Concubine Yun.

As soon as Prince Yun left, Eunuch Mu Yi couldn't help but remind the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The emperor was in a very good mood at the moment, and was writing these words in a flamboyant manner.

"you say"

"Prince Yun has already been crowned as a king, but the Third Prince is the legitimate son, but he has not been crowned as a crown prince. Now that Your Majesty has bestowed the Emperor's Sword on Prince Yun, I'm afraid both the court and the harem will have some thoughts."

"Hmm~"

The emperor nodded after hearing this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Those greedy people have had ideas about my son for a long time. If Zuochen is afraid of trouble and doesn't want to take the sword, I won't force him. But he is not afraid of trouble and even causes trouble for others. As a father, I just need to help him make things right."

"Oh, my emperor, you are so biased!..."

Grandpa Mu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's easy to say that he has a "troublesome" son, but the real trouble is that he will bleed.

When the emperor heard Mu Yi say that he was biased, he was not angry, but laughed twice in a happy mood. Then he picked up the last piece of calligraphy.

"Come and see how I write?"

Grandpa Mu Yi came over to take a look and saw that it said "Father is Loving and Son is Filial."

"The emperor's handwriting is becoming more and more like a fairy~"

"Oh, you are the only one who can talk! Find someone with good skills to frame it."

"Yes~"

"Come, go out for a walk with me~"

On the other side, Xiao Zuochen came to the outside of Yunyuan.

Yunyuan was built by the emperor himself, who demolished two palaces and rebuilt a large palace for Concubine Yun to live in. The queen made a fuss about this for a long time.

Because when the emperor first saw Concubine Yun, he thought she was like a fairy from heaven, untainted by the mundane world. Therefore, no gold or silver products were used in the construction and decoration of the palace, as the emperor felt that using gold and silver to set off Concubine Yun was too vulgar.

Concubine Yun's background is very special. She only said that her name was Yun. The emperor sent people to check her background, but no information was found. So when the emperor took Concubine Yun into the palace, the ministers in the court were very opposed, thinking that this woman was a spy from the enemy country. But the emperor still took Concubine Yun in despite the opposition. It was not until many years later when the sixth prince was born and nothing happened in the harem during this period that the ministers stopped mentioning that she was a spy.

Yunyuan was surrounded by fences, and only a small bridge led to it. Under the bridge was a stream that connected to the Imperial Garden. The houses inside were all carved from jade. It looked like a house with a small bridge and flowing water.

Prince Yun was standing outside the courtyard at this time, not going in. Through the fence, he could see his mother taking a nap in a rocking chair.

The palace maid who was cleaning the courtyard saw Prince Yun standing outside, turned her head and looked at Concubine Yun again, and found that Concubine Yun was still sleeping, so she didn't say anything and just saluted Prince Yun.

Prince Yun nodded, signaling her to stand up.

Seeing that Prince Yun had been standing outside and had no intention of coming in, the little maid gestured to Prince Yun to come in and see the imperial concubine. Prince Yun shook his head, looked at her a few more times, and then left.

The little palace maid shrugged at Prince Yun's back.

At this time, a young palace maid who had just arrived at Yun Garden asked the palace maid who had just saluted King Yun.

"Sister, why doesn't King Yun come in?"

The palace maid was used to this.

"Ever since the Sixth Prince was crowned king, he and the Imperial Concubine seem to have become estranged. Prince Yun doesn't take the initiative to visit the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine doesn't summon Prince Yun. It's just that Prince Yun occasionally stands outside and looks at the Imperial Concubine, like he did today."

"Oh, I see. But I heard that the Sixth Prince was suddenly named the Cloud King. Do you know the reason?"

"This was bestowed by the Emperor himself, and he also gave me the imperial concubine's surname. The reason is not for you and me to ask, so just focus on your work~"

"Yes, that's what my sister said!"

The little palace maid stopped talking and lowered her head to do her work.

At this time, Concubine Yun, who was taking a nap with her back to them, was still lying there, but her eyes were open and her gaze darkened.

Not long after Prince Yun left, the Emperor also came to Yun Garden.

"My beloved! Chen'er sent me many treasures today. How about I ask someone to make you a new set of jewelry?"

As soon as the emperor took a step onto the bridge, Concubine Yun, who was pretending to sleep, suddenly waved her sleeves, and the stream water on both sides of the bridge suddenly rose several meters high, then scattered and fell. The emperor was so scared that he retracted the foot that was on the bridge.

"My dear, you are so skilled!"

Although he was a little scared, the emperor still flattered the imperial concubine. At this time, the young palace maid in the courtyard walked to the bridge and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not feeling well today and does not want to see you."

"Oh~Is that so? Then my beloved, take care of yourself. I will come to see you another day! I will send the jewelry to you in two days~"

After the emperor finished his flattering words, he left reluctantly.

"The Emperor is gone too?"

It was the curious little palace maid again. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strong wind blowing past.

"Snapped--"

A palm fan blew on her face. She looked up and saw the maid who had spoken to the emperor walking back from the bridge. The imperial concubine...was sitting in the rocking chair and looking at her with a gloomy and terrifying look, as if she wanted to eat her.

"Yun'er."

"The slave is here!"

The palace maid in the distance walked up to the imperial concubine and bowed.

"This disobedient thing can be made into a medicine~"

"Yes!"

Yun'er walked straight towards the talkative little palace maid without any hesitation.

The palace maid hadn't reacted yet and didn't know what they meant by the medicine guide.

"Sister! Imperial Concubine! Imperial Concubine, I know I was wrong!"

He fell to his knees with a thud. Although he didn't know what they were going to do to him, he had to admit his mistake first.

But the imperial concubine didn't say anything, and Yun'er didn't listen to her pleas. She grabbed her hair with one hand and dragged her towards the side hall. The action seemed as if she was not dragging a person, but as easy as dragging a stick.

After a while, a howl was heard from inside the house, and then there was no sound.

From beginning to end, there was no expression on Concubine Yun's face, as if nothing had happened just now.

In fact, this is the sixth maid who came to Yunyuan this year. Except for Yun'er, who has been serving Concubine Yun since she entered the palace, the others were sent this year. Before, only Yun'er served her. Even after she became a concubine, she never let other maids enter this courtyard. But later, because of her physical needs, she had to agree to the emperor sending people over, but she only agreed to send one person in each time.

According to other palace maids, if the maids who came to serve performed well, they could stay like Sister Yun'er. If they did not perform well, they would be given a sum of money and then sent out of the palace. So those little palace maids also tried their best to come to Yunyuan, after all, Concubine Yun was the most noble woman in the harem.

But who would have known that this place that looks like a fairyland is actually a bottomless abyss.
