Chapter 6 - Herbal Medicine

”But, grandpa …”

Wen Meng wanted to refute, preserve the power in her hands, and directly bring out the clan master, but Yun Qianliang did not even let her finish speaking.

”Qiu Yue, be careful. Don't break the imperial edict.” Seeing that people were rushing over, Yun Qianliang purposely reminded them.

Wen Meng's words were stuck in her throat, and she found it hard to swallow it back down, yet she could not find an opportunity to speak.

Qiu Yue held out the imperial edict to Yun Qianliang.

Everyone saw the bright yellow satin and immediately knelt on the ground.

”Just now, I mentioned that it was the Hibiscus Courtyard's servant's reminder, which is why I was gathering so many people. I will tell you all about the reason why I have gathered you all here.” Yun Qianliang casually held the imperial edict in his hand, and said softly to the people kneeling on the ground, ”Just now, at the Nine Rhythm Corridor, my servant scolded some people for not bowing when she saw me, while the servants at Warm Girl's side rejected his.”

Yun Qianliang paused, then tactfully stood out and repeated what Xiao Cui had said.

”Since the prime minister hasn't admitted it, do you have the nerve to call me Madam?”

Yun Qianliang raised his hand and immediately retreated behind her.

”Judging from my meals and the taunts I heard during my stroll today, most of you don't approve of me as your mistress. You can do whatever you want in your hearts. Since the emperor can't see it, it's natural that it's none of your business. However, if it's said out, it's a capital punishment! ” Yun Qianliang raised his teacup and drank a mouthful of tea to moisturize his throat, his following words became even sharper, ”I am the official wife of the Emperor who bestowed the marriage to the Minister of the Left, and naturally am the wife of the Gu Xiangfu. To speak out and deny my identity is equivalent to denying the words of the Emperor!”

Yun Qianliang lowered his eyes and sized up the expressions of the people kneeling on the ground. Many of them held onto the fact that this was a family matter and the Emperor did not have the mentality to interfere, so he did not seem to be afraid.

Yun Qianliang snorted coldly, getting the Steward Gu to stand up and hand the imperial edict over.

”Read it out for everyone to hear.”

The Steward Gu used a brocade handkerchief to wipe his hands before daring to accept the imperial edict.

”Under the will of the heavens, the Emperor shall deliver a decree: direct daughter of the Right Premier, Yun Qianliang, shall be well-informed, gentle and courteous, and shall be bestowed upon the Minister of the Left as his principal wife, with the hope that the two of them may share hardships with each other and work together until their heads turn white. ”Here it is.”

”Strange, isn't it? Everyone knows that I was bestowed with marriage by the Emperor. There's no need to show off in public. ” ”The purpose of the imperial edict is to tell you that the imperial edict is still around, and that the emperor is still watching over this marriage, so no one can guarantee that everyone in the Gu Xiangfu will be one of their own. If the words were to spread and reach the ears of the emperor, you all will not be able to accept this punishment, and the prime minister will not be able to accept it either.”

The Steward Gu understood tacitly that Yun Qianliang was not only using the imperial edict to make everyone recognize him as master and obtain the authority of mistress from the side, he had also beaten the servants of the Gu Xiangfu to not speak carelessly to prevent disasters from coming out of her mouth.

Yun Qianliang stood up and walked in front of Wen Meng.

She squatted in front of Wen Meng and lifted Wen Meng's head so that she could look straight in her eyes.

”Warm Girl, I see you as my close friend, so you have to be worthy of me. Don't let others think that the master who taught you this kind of servant is not good at all.” ”released Wen Meng's chin and stood up, looking down at the servant kneeling on the ground from above,” I, Yun Qianliang, am famous for being an evil girl in the capital, to the point that I can't even bear the consequences of offending you, and you still want to take advantage of me while I'm still being reasonable?

Yun Qianliang spoke too much, and because she had a sore throat, she picked up the teacup and sipped on it, but did not take back the imperial edict, and allowed everyone to kneel like that.
