The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 182 Conditions
Mu Xiyue then asked, "Have all of Zheng Dongxing's family been rescued?"
Zheng Dongxing is the county magistrate of Jingtong County. Although Zheng Dongxing only embezzled a small portion of the funds for the construction of Jingtong County's flood control project last year, he was very aware of the corruption and shoddy workmanship involved. He also kept a private account because he was afraid that he would be the final scapegoat after the truth was revealed.
When the Emperor's Divine Shadow Guards and Xiao Yibai's men went to investigate secretly, the people at the Chen Mansion were unaware of it. Later, Zheng Dongxing turned against the Chen family, which made them aware of it. They then arrested Zheng Dongxing's family and made him shut up.
Xiao Yibai placed his palm gently on Mu Xiyue's belly, his voice somewhat gentle, "Well, we'll be able to close the net in three months at most. The evidence we have now is enough to execute all nine generations of the Chen family. What I have is enough to nail both the Queen and the Prince of Qi to death. However, there are still some things that have not been verified. Once they are verified, we can eradicate all the members of the Chen family. The Queen will definitely be deposed. Father wants to remove the Prince of Qi."
Xiao Yibai's voice was tinged with a hint of coldness at the end. Mu Xiyue hugged one of his arms and said with a smile, "If your Majesty insists on saving the Prince of Qi, then it will be as your Majesty wishes. You were the one who brought down the Second and Third Princes. If you insist on bringing down the Prince of Qi as well, people will think you can't tolerate your brothers."
Xiao Yibai didn't expect Mu Xiyue to persuade him to let King Qi go. There was some displeasure in his voice. "So what? What use is that reputation to me?"
Mu Xiyue knew he had misunderstood her. "I never thought of asking you to let King Qi go. King Qi did so many things behind the scenes. Although the Chen family's assassinations against you seemed to be the Chen family's idea, my cousin said that those assassins would get King Qi's approval before going on missions. That means King Qi assassinated you in the name of the Chen family."
Xiao Yibai's voice was a little muffled. "I know that Father wants to keep Prince Qi as the king. If my seventh brother can't grow up, then Prince Qi is the best candidate. I don't want to take his position. Father also knows that if Prince Qi really takes the throne, my sixth and seventh brothers and I may not have a good ending."
If it is from the perspective of the country and the people, Mu Xiyue can understand the emperor's thoughts, but Mu Xiyue doesn't think that the Tianqi Kingdom will go downhill without Prince Qi. Xiao Yibai's refusal to take that position does not mean he will ignore the government affairs. Can't he be an assistant minister?
"Did the Emperor restrict you with any conditions?"
Xiao Yibai's face froze. He actually didn't want to hide it from Mu Xiyue, but he just didn't know how to start the conversation. He was afraid that Mu Xiyue would be unhappy and it would affect her health.
"Well, my father asked me to enter the Eastern Palace and take a concubine as a condition. Don't worry, I didn't agree. I will never let any woman other than you get close to me."
The Emperor's conditions were simple: Xiao Yibai would take over the crown prince's position and take a concubine, and then the Prince of Qi would be dealt with as well. If Xiao Yibai insisted on not becoming the crown prince and not taking a concubine, then the Prince of Qi would remain and see if the Seventh Prince could succeed. If the Seventh Prince was unable to do so, the Prince of Qi would become the crown prince.
Mu Xiyue was not angry. Regardless of whether Xiao Yibai became the crown prince or not, the emperor would probably not give up the idea of letting him take a concubine.
"Prince Rui is no longer qualified to be the crown prince. You promised my father to keep Prince Qi, so what? It's not difficult to kill Prince Qi or make him suffer. My father is in his prime now. Let Prince Qi enjoy himself for a while. There's no need to make things difficult for me."
Xiao Yibai nodded lightly. His father wanted to get rid of the King of Qi and leave him with a good reputation, so he let him go for now. Yueyue was right. It was not difficult to make the King of Qi live a life worse than death. It would take some effort to ruin his reputation.
After figuring this out, he wasn't so depressed anymore. With the beautiful girl in his arms, desire welled up in his heart. He reached into Mu Xiyue's coat, his voice a little hoarse.
"My lady, it's already been three months. I asked Dr. Lu and he said it's okay to be more careful."
Mu Xiyue understood what he meant in seconds, and it was hard for her not to understand. As soon as he finished speaking, the changes under her butt made her want to escape. In broad daylight, this man!
Xiao Yibai tightened his hand around her waist, then loosened it a little for fear of squeezing her stomach. His lips gently caressed her earlobe, licking it with his tongue from time to time.
Mu Xiyue shuddered, "This is in the study, in broad daylight, please restrain yourself."
Xiao Yibai chuckled, "This isn't the first time I've been to the study. What's wrong with that in broad daylight? No one will come in without my order."
Mu Xiyue struggled for a while. It was only early February and the temperature was not high. There was only a thin blanket on the couch in the study. Mu Xiyue didn't want to experience the extremes of ice and fire.
"Don't stay here, go to the dormitory, it's cold here."
Mu Xiyue finally managed to squeeze out a few words, but her lips were blocked again.
Although Xiao Yibai's body reacted, he was just teasing his little wife on purpose. It was Mu Xiyue's words "go to the bedroom" that made him lose his mind, and he picked up her and rushed into the bedroom.
Having not eaten meat for over two months, Xiao Yibai almost lost control when the ban was lifted. Fortunately, he still had some sense and ate only half full. He hugged her contentedly and sighed, "I don't have to masturbate tonight."
These words left Mu Xiyue speechless. She could never imagine how a person who appeared to be so bright and elegant in front of outsiders could say such shameless words so confidently in private.
Xiao Yibai pecked her lips and teased, "My beloved concubine, what's with that expression? For the past two months, your husband has been sleeping with your beloved every day, but you can't do such a pleasant thing. If I don't masturbate to relieve my sexual desire, how will my beloved concubine live her whole life?"
Mu Xiyue's face turned red and dark, and she bit his shoulder, "As a prince, can't you have some integrity? How can you say anything? Where's your face?"
"Hahahaha, my lady is so cute! I'll take a nap and get up after dinner. I'll go get some documents and come over to accompany you."
Xiao Yibaizhen brought a stack of documents to the dormitory, moved a low table to the bedside, and then returned to bed and sat at the head of the bed to read his documents. Mu Xiyue didn't want to sleep at first, but watching him work seriously, she fell asleep unknowingly.
It only took Li Congxin twenty days to arrive at the palace with the blueprints, which included not only clear structural diagrams but also renderings.
There were many copies of the structural diagrams, but Mu Xiyue didn't understand them very well, so she just took a quick look and stopped looking.
There were four renderings: one was a panoramic view from above, and the other three were exterior views of the house. The renderings were beautiful, and Mu Xiyue could imagine how beautiful this leisure plaza would be once it was built. Perhaps it would inspire other places to follow suit.
Li Congxin explained the structural diagrams to the two of them one by one. Mu Xiyue was confused, but Xiao Yibai obviously understood and would interrupt from time to time to ask questions and put forward his own ideas.
After the discussion, Li Congxin modified the drawings directly in the study of the palace. Half an hour later, the final drawings were finalized. Xiao Yibai asked Uncle Fu to take Li Congxin to arrange the subsequent work.
