C125 Old Uncle Zhangs Discontent (2/2)
Uncle Zhang seemed to understand something and nodded his head.
”The reason why I came here today is to bring Princess Wuyou to bathe. Only then can I request for her help.” Mu Ru Yue directly said.
”Esteemed wangfei, are you planning to say it directly?” Uncle Zhang found it hard to believe. Mu Ru Yue nodded. ”Of course I have to be direct. Princess Wu You's personality is pure. If I were to be straightforward and help, she would agree.” However, if I were to conceal it and make use of it, it would only make Princess Wuyou loathe me. That's not worth it. This is also the reason why I wanted to bring Princess Wuyou here. ”
Of course, Mu Ru Yue didn't say her thoughts about testing Princess Wuyou. It was just that she was so ridiculous that she didn't dare to trust others.
”Since wangfei has a plan, this old one doesn't dare to say more.” Uncle Zhang said respectfully.
Seeing that the explanation was clear, Mu Ru Yue asked back, ”Uncle Zhang, why are you waiting for me? Is there something important?”
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang hesitated.
”There's no need for that. Just speak frankly if Uncle has something to say.” Mu Ru Yue saw that he was too embarrassed to say anything, so she interrupted him. Uncle Zhang nodded in embarrassment. ”In fact …” It was still about the refugees.
Princess, you know that ever since this place could be rebuilt, the refugees have no place to go. After many people were chased out of the city, they were not even allowed to stay in inns outside because they came from the Southern District. If this goes on... The only path left for them was death. Of course, they brought this upon themselves. At that time, he was greedy and lacked foresight, which was why he ended up like this. But, I truly cannot bear to see them being rejected by everyone just like this, and then dying outside. ”
As Uncle Zhang spoke, he kneeled down in front of Mu Ru Yue with reddened eyes. ”All these years, I've never begged anyone. This isn't the first time I've asked for anything but an imperial concubine. ”Princess, please give these old bones of mine a chance for them to live.”
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she was instantly shocked.
She looked at Uncle Zhang with a complicated expression and sighed, ”The old uncle asked me to give them a chance to live, but if I accept them, how do I explain this to the prince? And how should Your Highness explain this to the Emperor? ”
”As long as wangfei is willing to accept them, these people will never cause trouble.” Uncle Zhang hurriedly said.
Mu Ru Yue shook her head firmly. She was not some benevolent Bodhisattva, and she would not think of saving others. Even if others were to pity her, she couldn't harm someone who was good to her because of these things.
How could she lure danger over when Feng Chen had treated her with sincerity? Those people had initially chosen their own path, so even if they died, it would only be a choice.
Seeing that Murong Yue still didn't agree, Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth and took out an item with a trembling hand. ”As long as Royal Concubine is willing to accept those people, this treasure map will belong to Royal Consort.”
Treasure Map?
Mu Ru Yue originally didn't want to look at it, but after seeing the map folded, her expression changed. That was because the material of the picture was exactly the same as the one she had put away earlier!
That treasure map was originally missing. Now, what Uncle Zhang had in his hands was probably a part of the missing treasure! It was a treasure trove of people from the previous dynasty. Since those people wanted to return to their country, they would naturally leave behind countless treasures.
This treasure map could even be said to be priceless. Mu Ru Yue didn't doubt that as long as they were willing to give their treasure map away, the Emperor would consider giving them a chance at survival. Of course, with Uncle Zhang's prudent personality and his loathing for the Imperial Family, he wouldn't make that decision.
She wanted this treasure map. Available... She didn't want to give him any trouble over at Phoenix Seep.
