Otherwise, it’d be better to have Mu Rufeng ascend to the throne of the Supreme than the eldest great Uncle or the fourth great Uncle.

Of course, what she most desired was for her youngest son, Wulin, to sit on the throne.

Mu Wulin was a legitimate heir, of royal orthodox lineage, which had to be discussed seriously with the Emperor.

Now by allowing Mu Rufeng to recover from his hidden injuries, and to regain his Cultivation, it also meant Mu Rufeng owed her a favor, which would at least ensure her support in the future.

"Seventh Sister has to thank, and Mother also has to thank; if Mother has any orders in the future, just say the word, and your son will be ready to serve," Mu Rufeng said.

"What do you mean by being ready to serve? You are my son; alright, I’m feeling a bit tired, you should go and find Xia’er."

"Oh yes, you are not young anymore. Tomorrow afternoon, there is a tea party in the palace. Many young masters and misses of the Capital will be there. Remember to attend tomorrow and find a wife you like to propagate the royal family."

The Empress slowly said.

"Yes, Mother, your son shall take his leave!" Mu Rufeng then immediately excused himself and left.

Mu Rufeng sighed internally—it really seemed he couldn’t escape matchmaking even in the Mysterious World.

"Your Highness, the eldest great Uncle has gone to visit the Seventh Princess," a maid named Little Cui softly said.

"Hm." Mu Rufeng nodded and proceeded toward the sleeping quarters of the Seventh Princess.

More than ten minutes later, he arrived at the Seventh Princess’s quarters.

The eldest great Uncle had already disappeared, but the Seventh Princess was there.

When she saw Mu Rufeng looking so well, she seemed very pleased.

"Ninth Brother, have you taken the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus? Your complexion looks nearly normal, and it seems your Cultivation has recovered?"

Mu Wuxia observed Mu Rufeng up and down, seemingly eager to try something.

"My body has recovered, and my Cultivation has reached the Refining Organ Realm. I owe it all to you, Seventh Sister," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.

"It’s great that you have recovered, really great. If it weren’t for your weakened power, I’d love to have a fight with you," Mu Wuxia said, squeezing Mu Rufeng’s shoulder.

"Seventh Sister, you’re still as much of a fighter as ever, no wonder Mother wants to marry you off. Are you attending the tea party tomorrow as well?" Mu Rufeng said.

"Hmm? How did you know?" The Seventh Princess asked, somewhat surprised.

"I just came from Mother’s place; she also wants me to attend the tea party tomorrow," Mu Rufeng replied with a wry smile.

"Ha-ha, that’s wonderful, so I’ll have some company tomorrow. You have no idea how boring those tea parties are; those people either recite poetry or play the zither and flute. Utterly tedious," the Seventh Princess exclaimed joyfully.

Finally, she would have someone to accompany her; yesterday’s tea party was indeed too dull.

"So, what brought you to the palace today? You also visited my mother," Mu Wuxia asked.

"I went to thank Mother, and I came to see you, Seventh Sister, because I need to borrow some money," Mu Rufeng said.

"Borrow money? How much do you need?"

"One million taels," Mu Rufeng said gravely.

"What? One million taels? What do you need so much for?" Mu Wuxia was shocked.

Mu Rufeng originally needed an additional one million and three hundred thousand taels, but he had swindled three hundred thousand taels from the eldest great Uncle, so now he only needed one million.

"For indemnities."

Mu Rufeng then detailed the matter of the indemnities and the theft.

"It’s infuriating, to think they would dare to take back the aid you disbursed; such audacity deserves death," Mu Wuxia said angrily.

However, Mu Wuxia soon revealed an embarrassed expression: "The eldest just came to see me and borrowed half a million taels, so I only have just over two hundred thousand taels left."

"Then, I’ll go ask Mother; her private treasury still holds quite a bit," Mu Wuxia immediately prepared to head outside.

The eldest great Uncle, indeed, he was something. He was thinking about moving the Seventh Princess away, but it turned out he just came to borrow money directly from her, which was quite bizarre.

"No need, no need, it’s my own affair, and it’s not good to bother Mother."

"In that case, Seventh Sister, just lend me the two hundred thousand taels you have, and I will repay you as soon as I can," Mu Rufeng said.

Eventually, under Mu Rufeng’s persuasion, Mu Wuxia did not go to the Empress and lent him two hundred thousand taels.

"Still short of eight hundred thousand."

Mu Rufeng left the palace, mumbling to himself.

"Your Highness, where are we heading now?" Liu Feng, driving the carriage, asked.

"To my Sixth Brother’s place," Mu Rufeng said after a moment’s thought.

"Yes, Your Highness."

He planned to borrow money from the Sixth Prince, this guy surely had a lot of funds, and if he could get eight hundred thousand, that would be best. If not enough, he would have to make another trip to the Eighth Prince’s place.

His face was now thick with shame; he would borrow from wherever he could, settling the indemnities was the priority.

After attending the longevity banquet, he planned to take off.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince was not even at home.

The mansion’s steward informed Mu Rufeng that the Sixth Prince had left early in the morning to go on an outing out of the city with some young men and women.

"Your Highness, shall I send people out of the city to call Sixth Highness back?" the stooped eunuch asked.

"No need; it’ll still be difficult to find him on such short notice. In that case, tell me where my Sixth Brother keeps his money; I’ll just take it and go."

"Ah?" the old eunuch trembled, had he heard wrong?

"Rest assured, I’ll write an IOU for my Sixth Brother, to be returned within a month with twenty percent interest. I only need one million taels," Mu Rufeng said.

"This... this... Your Highness, only the Sixth can open the Array to the treasury, I... I am powerless," the old eunuch quickly said.
