C527 Treatment of Peony City (1/2)

It could be said that the ministers were all stunned by the emperor's summons. Seeing that they could leave safely, they heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left. After everyone had left, there was only the crown prince and the emperor left in the huge royal study.

”Father, I will also take my leave.” As Feng Qing spoke, he also prepared to leave.

”Qing'er, who did this?” The Emperor looked at Feng Qing and inquired in a somewhat complicated manner. Although he also wanted to believe that Feng Qing had destroyed Peony City due to his kindness, his son was not the type of person who had a kind heart.

Thus, looking at Feng Qing, the Emperor finally asked.

When Feng Qing heard this, his gaze was indifferent. He looked at the emperor and said, ”This son did it.” royal father, there is no need to ask anymore. If this son wants to enter the picture, then naturally, I have to make royal father have a whole new level of respect for this son. ” Feng Qing said.

In fact, that was indeed the case. He was going to Peony City for the sake of the slave market.

When the Emperor heard this, he was slightly gratified, but even more so, he was suspicious.

”This son shall take his leave. I will not enter the palace for the next few days. The day of Mother's death is nearing.” After Feng Qing finished speaking, he left the royal study. The Emperor's expression couldn't be considered to be pretty, as he withdrew a painting from a corner of the study.

After opening it, it showed a very beautiful woman. The woman's appearance was very exquisite, but his eyes seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life. Compared to Feng Qing's coldness, she seemed to be on an even higher level.

The emperor's gaze was filled with unprecedented gentleness. He sighed with some sadness. ”Am I …” Is it really wrong? ”

In the capital city, the most interesting thing was the Peony City.

The next morning, as soon as Mu Ru Yue woke up, she heard the sound of the gongs and drums outside. It was so noisy that people were unable to calm down and they felt as if their heads were about to explode.

After receiving the butterfly flower from the butler and letting Yun'er put it away, Mu Ru Yue asked, ”What happened outside?”

”In reply to the Princess, it was the Imperial Court that issued the plan for dealing with Peony City. The world was being announced, which was why things were like this. Some of the citizens started to beat the gongs and drums because they were happy. ” the butler said.

Announce the plan to deal with Peony City?

Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but smile. ”They are really quick.”

”Actually, this is no longer considered fast. If it were any other matter, the Imperial Court would have taken care of it immediately. However, this time, they were waiting for the Crown Prince to come back. Because this was too big of a matter, the Third Marquis once again insisted on investigating it thoroughly.

Only then did it fall to today. Now that there is a result, it can be said that we have an explanation for the citizens of Peony City in the coming month. ”

The steward sighed with emotion.

Mu Ru Yue nodded to express her understanding. She then asked, ”Speaking of which, how do you plan to deal with this Peony City?”

”It was the Third Prince who proposed this. He said that the City Lord of Peony City could not be changed, and that the taxes within the city should be reduced by three years. During these three years, Peony City no longer needed to pay taxes to the Imperial Family. When the citizens of the city traveled in and out of the city, as long as they had the Token of Peony City, they would also give a certain amount of convenience.

When the slaves returned to their normal lives, they had to have some form of protection, and the houses had to be sure that there were no problems. It can be said that in less than two years, this Peony City will be even more prosperous than it was a few years ago. ”

When the butler said this, Mu Ru Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that the matter in Peony City would be resolved in such a way. Due to the indulgence of the royal family, Peony City would surely prosper even more in the future.

As for Qing Xun, he would remain as the City Lord of Peony City. It looked like everything was going according to his plan. Thinking about that, Mu Ru Yue frowned. Even though he knew from the beginning that Qing Xun wouldn't suffer any losses, he would still feel unhappy at this moment.

They were working for Qing Xun. It was used cleanly. However, he couldn't say anything. After all, they were the ones who wanted to save the slaves.

As she thought about this, Mu Ru Yue took a bite out of her pastries.

That fierce look had given the steward a fright. Then, the butler hesitated a little and said, ”Princess, the Mu Rong family's second young miss has been waiting for you outside our house for a long time. She said she wants to see you.”

”Cough!” Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but cough as she looked at the butler. ”Who are you talking about?”

”Second Miss Mu Rong.”
