Chapter 621 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 17
"Your Majesty, it is done."
"After the horse was bitten by the little creature, it fell to the ground within a quarter of an hour and is now dead."
Inside the Ningguo Palace, the guards came to the imperial study to report to Emperor Ning.
Emperor Ning's original plan was to go to the Western Regions to purchase thousands of horses for use in battlefield operations.
Before seeing Yun Xin using a little mouse to knock down a horse, he bought twenty horses first. His original intention was to see whether the horses from the Western Regions could adapt to the Central Plains environment.
After seeing Yun Xin's Miaojiang technique, he seemed to have seen an easier way, so he did not continue to buy horses and went straight back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, the imperial physician prepared something exactly the same as the powder Yun Yi gave him according to the prescription, and the test was successful. The horse really died from the poison caused by the rat.
Even strong horses can be knocked down, let alone humans?
If we release those mice controlled by drug powder into the enemy camp, wouldn't we be able to win without fighting?
Emperor Ning felt that unifying the Central Plains and even recovering the Western Regions and Miao Territory was just around the corner.
"Where are the three people from the Yun family now?" Emperor Ning asked.
"Your Majesty, Yun Yi and Yun Xin are on their way back to Jiangnan, and Yun Lang saw the news of military recruitment at the border and signed up to join the army." The guard replied.
Sign up for the military?
Emperor Ning did not have a deep impression of Yun Lang. He only knew that he and Yun Yi were twin brothers. They looked the same but Yun Lang was much stronger than Yun Yi. One could tell at first glance that Yun Lang was a man with strong limbs but a simple mind, so it was suitable for him to join the army.
"Order someone to go to Jiangnan and announce that the siblings Yunyi and Yunxin will enter the palace. You don't need to tell anyone the reason. I think they won't dare to disobey the order."
He did not reveal his identity to the three siblings of the Ning family, but since they were citizens of the Ning Kingdom, it was impossible for them to disobey the imperial edict.
Emperor Ning still remembered that Yun Xin said that they learned these Miao skills from their master.
Since you have learned the Miao skills, it is impossible that you only know this one.
Now it’s just a kind of medicinal powder, but it can be used to refine a little mouse and it’s so powerful. They must have something more powerful in their hands.
If he could use such things, they would certainly be of great benefit; if not, he must never let them fall into the hands of others.
Originally, there were many ways for a king to recruit common people for his own use, but he really didn't know the true abilities of the three siblings, so he never acted rashly.
Now that Yun Lang has joined the army, it means that he has the Yun family's weak spot in his hands.
No matter how unruly the remaining two siblings are, it is impossible for them to act recklessly without caring about the life and death of their younger brother and older brother.
Of course, these are all bad strategies. As long as the brother and sister can be used by him and obey his orders obediently, he will not be stingy with rewards and money. It is not impossible for them to be in a position above everyone else.
-
The imperial edict seemed to have calculated the time and arrived at Yun Yi and Yun Xin's door the day after they returned to Jiangnan.
Mr. Yun and Madam Yun were very surprised and worried. It was worrying enough that Yun Lang joined the army without authorization, so why were their children summoned into the palace by the emperor?
When asked the reason, Yun Yi just brushed it off with a few words.
It was inevitable that they were worried about their three children. Yun Yi suggested that Master Yun sell all his property and move to the capital with them.
After much deliberation, Mr. Yun decided not to sell all his family properties. However, he sold part of the properties, leaving only a few that were more profitable as a backup plan. He found trustworthy managers to run the business, and then went to the capital with his children, Madam Yun, and his children.
Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital. Instead of living in fear all day long, it is better to go to the capital so that you can know any news first.
The people in Jiangnan didn't know that Princess Ning Ruli had been sent to the Imperial Temple. They just thought that they were summoned to the palace because Yun Lang helped Sheng Tang get back the purse.
They all felt that the Yun family was really lucky this year. If they could really marry into the royal family or become royal merchants, they would have a lot of gold and silver coming into their accounts, and they wouldn't have to worry about their descendants for several generations.
However, what they didn't expect was that only two months after the Yun family left Jiangnan, news came that the emperor had appointed Yun Xin as his concubine.
At that time, the emperor was over 40 years old and Yun Xin was just a 15-year-old girl, but in the eyes of others, Yun Xin had a blessing that others could not even envy.
If the daughter of a merchant enters the palace as a concubine and gives birth to a prince, the Yun family's future will be limitless.
It was the first day that Sheng Tang returned to Ningguo. Before he had the chance to go to the Imperial Temple to see Ning Ruli, he heard the news.
Yun Lang's sister entered her uncle's harem? Was she named Concubine Yun?
Sheng Tang, who had just experienced a change in his marriage, felt only sadness.
The royal family is fickle-minded, and the person she is marrying is about the same age as her father. She has no other hope in her life. Just thinking about it makes her despair.
"Princess, we can't go to the Imperial Temple to see the eldest princess tomorrow. Just now, the palace maid next to the Queen Mother came over and summoned the princess to the palace for an audience tomorrow."
Sheng Tang closed his eyes and nodded, "I understand. Go and get ready."
I haven't seen my mother for several months, so one day doesn't matter. It will be the same if I go to the Imperial Temple the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Sheng Tang got up early in the morning and washed up. After all, Chen Jing was her husband, so she had been wearing plain clothes during this period of time, and her attire for entering the palace today was also light and simple.
She first went to see the Queen Mother, who expressed her concern for her, but in the end, the intimacy between the grandmother and granddaughter was no longer as it had been before.
Later, when he went to the imperial study to pay his respects to Emperor Ning, he was stopped outside by palace servants.
"Empress Yun and His Majesty have just arrived. Princess, please wait."
Sheng Tang nodded and stood in the corridor waiting.
She knew all the concubines in Emperor Ning's harem, but she didn't expect that after her trip to the State of Chen, when she came back, there was a concubine in the harem who was younger than her.
Soon, the door of the imperial study opened from the inside and the palace servant invited her in.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, and to Concubine Yun." Sheng Tang performed the greetings according to the rules, and stood up after getting permission. He looked up and saw a beautiful young woman standing next to the table.
Is this Yun Xin?
They look somewhat similar to Yunlang, but their edges are softer, making them worthy of being siblings.
"Tang'er, you've worked hard on your trip to Chen State. Did you encounter anything new and interesting in Chen State?"
Another majestic voice came, and Sheng Tang quickly retracted his thoughts and said, "There is nothing new or interesting."
Novel and interesting?
Her husband died half a month after she got married, and she became a widow before she was seventeen. Is that new and interesting?
Yun Xin glanced at the sullen face of the man next to her and complained silently in her heart.
Sheng Tang only stayed in the imperial study for a quarter of an hour and then left the palace.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that her uncle's attitude towards her was different, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
What Sheng Tang didn't know was that not long after she left the imperial study, her 'uncle' returned to the inner room and tore off a human skin mask from his face.
