This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Hearing the King's voice expressing his opposition, all the officials in the hall remained silent. Being the crown prince was a matter that concerned the entire country. They absolutely could not be trifled with. However, seeing the Emperor's attitude just now, it seemed as if he was extremely certain of the outcome. He couldn't help but cause the crowd to feel uneasy. After all, a banquet had just appeared last night …

No matter how you looked at it, the Emperor seemed to be in a hurry to establish the crown prince for the sake of getting ahold of King Yue and Grand Princess Yi De. No matter how you looked at it, this was definitely not the case.

Could it be that he wanted to use this method to intimidate the Li family and express the Emperor's dissatisfaction towards the Wang and Li family? Or could it be that the emperor had really fallen for King Yu and wanted him to succeed the throne? The King's eyes were red with anger, he took two steps forward and knelt, "Royal father, this son thinks that the position of crown prince is extremely important, so I think that we should take the position of the most virtuous and virtuous man. Although second brother is a brave warrior, he is only limited to fighting on the battlefield.

Candidates, please reconsider. "

The officials who supported the King all knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."

The Emperor looked at him coldly. "Since you don't think the Emperor is suitable, who do you think is qualified to be the crown prince?"

"Father, the position of crown prince is very important, we should ask all of the ministers to discuss with each other and nominate the person to be chosen by Father himself." The king really wanted to directly recommend himself without avoiding his relatives, but that would seem too selfish. In order to show fairness, it was most appropriate to let the officials recommend him.

King Yu took a step forward, "Imperial Father, this son knows that he has many shortcomings. Right now, I am indeed not the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince, but this son is willing to work hard to advance, following Imperial Father's concept of governing the country and becoming more prosperous." Second Brother, governance of a country is not something you can just talk about. It is based on brains, wisdom and strategy, courage, and more importantly, the ability to see the situation clearly, to know what to do and what not to do, as well as the need for a strong backer. Second Brother …

Brother knows, the position of crown prince is something to be reckoned with, but you can't ignore the citizens of the imperial court because of your greed. You have to know, if you are unscrupulous, once you become a soldier, once you become a sovereign, once you fall a nation! " King Yu looked at him, and their gazes met in the air, and in that moment, it was as though lightning had flashed past them. Both of their auras were extremely overbearing. After a long while, King Yu took the initiative to look away. "Imperial Father, this son thinks what Eldest Brother said is reasonable. After some time, may the officials reject the position of Crown Prince?"

Candidates. "

The emperor slightly narrowed his eyes, a brilliant light flashing across them. "Alright, since you're interested, then let's set the date at the end of the year. Once we've decided on the crown prince's choice, I can pass the new year in peace."

"Yes." Although King Yu was unwilling, it was still the best way. However, when it came to controlling the ministers in the imperial court, King Yu could definitely not compare to him. For the rest of the time, as long as he maintained his connections and got over half a court of law, it would be as easy as searching for treasure.

The news quickly reached the imperial harem. Mu Yunyao placed the food box on the table and rested her forehead on one hand as she waited for King Yue to return. She hadn't slept well last night, and now that the palace was quiet, she felt sleepy.

A quarter of an hour later, King Yue walked into the hall with a cold expression and stopped in his tracks when he saw the figure beside the table.

Mu Yunyao placed a hand on the side of her face, her butterfly-like eyelids gently curling up. Under the rays of the sun, it was as if there was a seven-colored light shining, and her charming cheeks had traces of red on them. Under the illumination of the sun, they were almost transparent, making one want to reach out and touch them.

Yue Wang lowered his steps and slowly walked to Mu Yunyao's side and sat down. He then extended his hand to gently support her forehead, allowing her to lean on his shoulder.

Mu Yunyao woke up in a daze. "Fourth Master?"

"Why are you here so early?"

"I made breakfast. I thought that I wouldn't be able to eat anything before you went to the imperial court, so I sent some food over to you."

"Yao'er, if I fail to accomplish anything, would you regret being with me?" Mu Yunyao blinked, then extended a finger to count the times, "I remember the first time we met Fourth Master, you were heavily injured and looked extremely miserable. It felt like you were a homeless person, but I still helped you out kindheartedly. "When we meet again, you actually put the sword on the wall!"

"I didn't care about my neck. I even gave you thirty percent of the Nebula Market's profits. I gave you nearly thirty thousand silver taels, which should have helped Master Four solve the problem, right?"

"Yeah, that 30,000 silver helped a lot."

Mu Yunyao nodded and pressed a second finger, "Afterwards, I knew that the west of Guangdong Province was bitter and cold. Many people could not even eat their fill and even had Supervisor Qin help transport the ginger tea over. That cost me a lot of silver, but I didn't ask you for it back."

"Without the ginger tea, many people would have starved to death that winter in western Guangdong." He had been trying his best to develop the western part of Guangdong Province, but it was impossible for him to do so. The foundation of the region was too poor, and the money he had earned from cultivating in the dark could not be used up.

Mu Yunyao continued to press her finger down. "Look, there's also the salt tax case that followed. I've helped you make a huge fortune. In addition to the amount of money you've earned and the money I've lent you, I can't even count all of these fingers."

Yue Yang looked at her hands that were clenched into fists, he raised them and held them tightly in his palms: "Listening to what you said Yao'er, I feel that I have been useless from the start." Mu Yunyao shook her head and looked sincerely at King Yue Yang. "Master Fourth can endure the bitter cold in western Guangdong Province without any complaints. He has kept his pure heart unchanged for so many years and has also found a chance to rely on himself.

Her eyes were clear, filled with pure trust and passion. Even a block of ice could melt it.

"Yao'er, I don't care about the opinions of others. I just don't want you to be disappointed." Master Four has never let me down. I've just listed out everything just now because I want Master Four to see my abilities. If you can't even be a prince in the future, you can depend on me to keep you, Master. In the recent few months, the money we've earned at the Nebula Market is enough for us to spend for more than ten years.

There was no need to worry at all.

Yue Yang couldn't help but smile: "Alright, if I fail to accomplish anything in the future, I will find you to keep it."

"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much, Master Four. You won't fail at anything. At least, when others talk about you, they will say you have good eyes and have found a good wife." Yue Yang couldn't help but laugh out. He lowered his head and lightly kissed her forehead: "That's right, all the luck in my life has been used on finding a wife."
