The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

At the end of last winter, Regent Zhongyue won battle after battle and was invincible. Finally, he led the Jinxiang Guard and Zhongyue Army to defeat the war unilaterally provoked by the Western Barbarians.

In the last few battles with the Western Barbarians, in one of the huge battles, the Night King was tricked by the sinister Western Barbarians. In addition, the Western Barbarians suddenly had the secret assistance of the Eastern Empire, and the Zhongyue army also became afraid of the Night King at the suggestion of the emperor.

The Night King was attacked from all sides, and within his army, the emperor's soldiers tried to undermine the Zhongyue Dynasty's united front against the empire. At the last moment, only the Night King led a scattered group of Jinxiang Guards to fight bravely and carve out a bloody path for the stability of the Zhongyue Dynasty.

It was also during this battle that the Night King encountered a long-planned sneak attack. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also infected with an unknown toxin. In addition, the news that the Night King was disfigured spread on the battlefield. From then on, the Night King did not show up in public and always wore a golden mask...

As for the outcome of the battle between Zhongyue and the Western Yi countries?

Zhongyue won and Xiyi lost. Then the seriously injured King Ye returned to the court.

Unexpectedly, during this journey, someone in Zhongyue actually united with the other three countries in advance, and even some forces of the Dongyang Empire came to help. Even under the stranglehold of the four countries, Ye Xiaohan still survived.

At that time, Yun Mujiu had an encounter with the injured Night King on the outskirts of the capital. After that, the Night King returned to the Night Palace. While recuperating from his injuries, he quickly issued an order to investigate the truth behind the sneak attack on the army returning to the capital.

Afterwards, he conveyed a series of orders and finally found out that it was Emperor Zhongyue who, in conjunction with the forces of Beihan, Xiyi and Nantai, with the help of the secret forces of the two princes of the Dongyang Empire, led to a grand sneak attack.

These people, who should have been opponents of each other, all colluded together when facing the Night King.

The Night King sent out his subordinates to intercept and strangle those assassins. Fortunately... they were basically all killed before they escaped from Zhongyue.

However, Zhongyue is a vast territory, and the fleeing forces have many routes, so it is inevitable that the Night King's men will miss some during their pursuit.

The forces from the Eastern Empire escaped the fastest. They calculated the time when the Night King would be in trouble, and fled the capital overnight after launching a sneak attack, and finally fled Zhongyue. The people in the Night King's Palace have not been able to strangle this special force from the Eastern Empire.

The other team that managed to escape were from the Kingdom of Nantai. This was because the Night King returned to the capital from the west of Zhongyue to the northeast of the capital, and the southern part of Zhongyue was closely connected with the northern part of Nantai. As a result, despite the strangulation order issued by the Night King, a small number of people from that small force in Nantai were still able to escape back to Nantai.

Later, after some investigation, King Ye confirmed that the force came from the royal family of Nan Tai, and was closely related to the Sixth Prince of Nan Tai.

It can be said that Prince Sen is an ignorant guy who wants to die in front of the Night King.

At this time, in the study room of Huayang Court, Ye Xiaohan was calmly sipping tea, while the other subordinates were in deep thought. Like Ye Xiaohan, they were thinking back to the investigation over the past few months.

Ye Xiaohan suddenly spoke up: "Let Yingyi and the others bring Wan Yansen back alive. Don't let him die on the way back to the capital."

Wan Yansen, the assassin, and the prince Wan Yansen were both involved in the conspiracy to attack the army he led.

His Highness the Night King obviously meant that he would not let these people go easily. If he wanted to kill Wan Yansen directly, he would not have beaten Wan Yansen less, and he would not have let anyone take Wan Yansen back to Zhongyue Capital.

It must be said that His Royal Highness Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu are quite similar to a certain extent. Both of them like to boil frogs in warm water. When they take revenge on their enemies, they don't like to give them a quick death. They both like to torture people slowly, so that they can better achieve the effect of "punishment".

Ye Xiaohan issued the relevant orders to execute Wan Yansen and the forces behind him, and the people in the room respectfully accepted their assigned tasks. The prince made it very clear, and they just had to do it.

When Wei Bai heard this, he was stunned for a long time. He felt that the prince was really amazing! The prince always looked powerful, as if nothing in the world could stump him!

He looked at Ye Xiaohan with a hint of infatuation. Ye Xiaohan, who was drinking tea, noticed his look and asked quietly, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's okay. I just think that Your Majesty is so charming." Wei Bai's eyes were full of stars.

Ye Xiaohan immediately thought of Yun Mujiu's pair of deer eyes, turned to Wei Bai and said with disdain: "If you say such disgusting words to me again, you can cut off your tongue."

"Your Highness..." Wei Bai wanted to cry.

“If you ever show such covetous eyes towards me again, I’ll dig out your eyes.” Ye Xiaohan said coldly.

Wei Bai wanted to cry but had no tears. He just wanted to express his admiration for the prince. Was he wrong?

Du Ziheng pushed Wei Bai away with disdain, then turned to ask Ye Xiaohan seriously the most crucial question.

"Your Majesty, have you thoroughly investigated the purpose of the Nantai and Dongyang death soldiers coming to Zhongyue?"

Ye Xiaohan paused slightly, then pulled out a few letters from the pile of official documents on the desk.

This is the letter that was delivered to the Night Palace last night by his people who were divided into two routes inside and outside Zhongyue. One team is at the border between the Dongyang Empire and Zhongyue Chifeng City, and the other team is inside the Dongyang Empire.

As early as when he went north to investigate the case and found the key clues, he had already ordered his secret guards to collect clues in different locations.

Ye Xiaohan said quietly - "These enemy people came here not to gather information, nor to steal the Zhongyue mine, but -"

"— —For the legendary spiritual vein in Zhongyue!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of noise echoed in the huge study room, and everyone's face was filled with an expression of astonishment that could not be concealed.

At that time, in Qichiyuan.

Yun Mujiu was still busy in the medicine room, temporarily putting aside the complicated emotions he had this morning.

When Yun Mujiu woke up this morning, he saw the empty bed and couldn't help but think of Ye Xiaohan, and a feeling of emptiness arose in his heart.

She has always been used to sleeping alone. Although she has shared a bed with Ye Xiaohan under certain circumstances, that was only a few times. Most of the time, she sleeps alone.

But now, she didn't know when it started, but she actually developed a strange feeling of getting used to Ye Xiaohan sleeping next to her!

You know, she and Ye Xiaohan have only slept together a few times!

But the two nights that Ye Xiaohan returned to the Ye Palace, he slept with Yun Mujiu. The time they slept on the same bed was short, but it fatally made Yun Mujiu gradually immersed in the atmosphere of sleeping together. What's more terrible is that once this sleeping situation no longer exists, Yun Mujiu will have an indescribable sense of detachment.

It's like... a withdrawal reaction.

After a short period of warmth, what remains is a feeling of loneliness and emptiness.

What Yun Mujiu didn't know was that the strange feeling she suddenly felt was not her own random imagination, nor was it because she was too tired to think too much, but was caused by someone's little thoughts...
