Chapter 2355: Chapter 2352: Preparing the Dowry

Chu Ziluo felt reassured. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Then please trouble you to tell Mother that the Emperor granted a marriage between me and Prince Rong at the palace banquet today. However, the Emperor likely intends to use our family against Hetu and others, but it also counts as a form of protection. Let Mother be at ease accompanying Father. As long as I’m here, no one with impaired judgment would dare cause trouble.”

Su Mei was startled for a moment but quickly collected herself and nodded, “The servant girl understands.”

After seeing Chu Ziluo off,

Su Mei hesitated for a moment, carrying a plate of fruit and hot tea, and entered the room.

Inside the room.

Ye Muyu sat at the foot of the bed, facing Chu Heng’s long legs, massaging them. There was ointment placed nearby, and from her technique, it was clear she was quite skilled.

Even though her forehead was slightly sweaty from the prolonged massage, she paid no mind and continued diligently and patiently repeating the massage movements. Her beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness, as if she were handling a treasured object.

Su Mei dared not make too much noise.

She remained quietly by the side, putting down the tray.

“Milady, the Emperor has granted a marriage between the young miss and Prince Rong,” Su Mei whispered to convey the news.

Ye Muyu paused for a moment, then continued massaging Chu Heng’s leg muscles, “Continue developing the business, earn more money for Ziluo to use.”

“Yes, the servant girl has been in contact with them. The business is progressing smoothly. Although some are harboring restless thoughts, the servant girl has arranged for someone to keep an eye on them. However, most have great trust in Milady and the master.”

“Hmm, take care of these matters yourself, don’t disturb me unless it’s important.” Ye Muyu was clearly taking on the role of a hands-off manager.

Su Mei felt a bit unaccustomed in her heart, thinking how the previous lady was so diligent.

Now, it’s all because of that Hera or Hetu, those damn people of Beirong. It seems against the Beirong Royal Court, there’s no need to hold back; take advantage as much as possible.

Su Mei secretly plotted in her heart.

“The servant girl will take her leave.” Su Mei, receiving no response, sighed lightly and turned to leave. As she departed, she thoughtfully closed the door without making any sound.

Ye Muyu continued massaging Chu Heng’s leg, habitually whispering to him, “You seem better today, but if you lie down too long, you’ll lose your muscles, and then you’ll be as thin as a bamboo pole, which won’t look good at all.”

“But it doesn’t matter; even if you become as thin as a bamboo pole, I will still like you. So wake up soon, Ah Heng, I miss you very much.” Ye Muyu’s eyes turned red.

As tears began to fall, she roughly wiped them away with her hand and sniffed, “I know you will wake up, I know.”

“I believe you can hear my words, I am waiting for you.”

Because of the marriage grant,

the once silent capital seemed lively again.

Li Chongjin entered the palace every day to prepare for the wedding.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau took three days to calculate the date, setting the wedding date for three months later.

On this particular day,

Li Chongjin came out of the palace and saw the King of the Southern Border entering the palace, heading toward the Imperial Study.

Li Chongjin noticed but did not ask, while the eunuch beside him, seeing where his gaze fell, wanted to curry favor and whispered, “Your Highness, it is said that the King of the Southern Border wishes to discuss cooperation with the Emperor. The Southern Border is mountainous with little grain production. Lord Chu had previously proposed to the Emperor some methods specifically for improving grain production in the mountainous areas. The King of the Southern Border likely came for this reason.”

“Hmm.” Li Chongjin nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the palace with large strides.
