The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In Qichiyuan, Yun Mujiu took a medicinal bath for the whole morning and finally got rid of the soreness in her body. It was like being run over by a car when she slept. She was really exhausted and in pain.

After Yun Mujiu changed into a refreshing outfit, she planned to find Ye Xiaohan to talk about her poor sleep.

In Huayang Courtyard, as soon as Ye Xiaohan returned to the courtyard, he saw Du Ziheng with an anxious look on his face.

Before entering the house, Du Ziheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, our brothers in the Eastern Empire have sent a message back."

"What's the matter?" Ye Xiaohan's steps were still leisurely and steady.

"I found out!" Du Ziheng couldn't hide his excitement. "The Eastern Empire does have theories about reincarnation, rebirth, and taking back souls!"

"What did you say!" Wei Bo was the first to be shocked.

A few months ago, the prince felt that the princess's behavior was rather strange, especially when he heard her talking in her dreams about "Wang Shirou, Li Zi'ao". Then the prince sent people to the Eastern Empire to inquire whether things like souls really existed.

I thought this matter would never come to fruition, but now I have received a reply. And what a coincidence, the news came just when the prince and the princess were beginning to establish a harmonious relationship.

When Ye Xiaohan heard Du Ziheng's report, he paused for a moment, then walked forward without looking back.

Du Ziheng gritted his teeth and chased after him. In fact, he still had some news to report!

Wei Bai stomped his feet and rushed into the study.

Du Ziheng stood in front of Ye Xiaohan, looking at the bamboo hat that had just been taken off and placed on Ye Xiaohan's desk.

"Your Majesty, some of the aristocratic families in the Eastern Empire really have actual stories about souls." Du Ziheng took a big step forward and said solemnly - "Of course, one of the more prominent families is the Yu family."

"It is rumored that the Yu family has a secret technique that can exchange souls with others, and can also see whether a person's soul is the original or an external one."

Ye Xiaohan was flipping through the military book in his hand, expressionless, as if he had not heard Du Ziheng's fierce words.

Wei Bai stamped his feet again and asked Du Ziheng directly: "Are you sure? Isn't this nonsense? People are people, how can there be souls and spirits! What's more, there are no ghosts in the world, how can there be such a thing as a soul!"

Du Ziheng said seriously: "Wei Bai, just because you don't understand or have never seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Wei Bai was speechless, and cast a questioning look at Ye Xiaohan. However, the latter was flipping through a book leisurely, and did not look at him.

Du Ziheng couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, why is it the Yu family again? The Yu family is a bit troublesome. It seems that this Yu family is really not simple."

Ye Xiaohan looked back and said calmly: "A traitor family, I don't know how many innocent people they murdered to gain a little status in the hands of the Eastern Empire."

Isn't the Yu family simple? If they are not simple, then they should die.

Ye Xiaohan continued to read. Du Ziheng hesitated and asked carefully, "Your Highness, do you think we should ask the secret guards to continue investigating? At present, we only know that some aristocratic families in the Eastern Empire have such fantastic statements, but we don't know the specific circumstances."

They have not yet found out what methods people from the Yu family and other families use to exchange souls. In addition, they have not found out what methods can be used to distinguish whether a person's soul is originally from himself? If it is not from himself, can the original source of the soul be traced back?

"No need. Pass on my order. No need to investigate further." Ye Xiaohan glanced at them calmly and emphasized again: "Let's drop the matter here."

He had originally downplayed the matter, but he never expected that the search results would suddenly come out now.

"Why?" Du Ziheng was puzzled. After finally getting some clues, shouldn't we continue to investigate? Besides, didn't the prince care about the princess's dream talk before? Otherwise, the prince wouldn't have asked the Hanying Guards to search the entire Zhongyue to find the name that the princess only mentioned in her dream.

"Du Ziheng." Ye Xiao spoke in a cold voice, his aura exposed: "When is it your turn to question my orders?"

"Yes! I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said too much!" Du Ziheng's heart trembled uncontrollably, and he quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake. He was really too interested in soul-related events, and he was so fascinated that he dared to question the prince's decision.

Seeing this, Wei Bai swallowed the words of confusion he wanted to say. Like Du Ziheng, he didn't understand why the prince didn't stop investigating. What made him different from Du Ziheng was that he was skeptical about the soul-swapping and soul-recognition of the Yu family.

Ye Xiaohan snorted coldly, "Pass the order immediately, you don't have to pay attention to this matter anymore. The Cold Shadow Guards and assassins in the Dongyang Empire are also not allowed to take any actions related to the soul search."

"Yes, I know." Wei Bai and Du Ziheng replied in unison.

Ye Xiaohan closed the military book, then casually took out a folder and read the contents.

The topic changed, "Continue to keep an eye on the actions of the Yu family and the Eastern Imperial Family."

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng said they understood that there was no need to investigate the princess's matter any further, but they still had to keep an eye on the situation of the Yu family.

Ye Xiaohan picked up the bamboo hat on the table and threw it over. Wei Bai immediately caught it, then turned around and hung the hat on the coat rack in the corner.

Ye Xiaohan's eyes darkened slightly as he recalled the dream talk that he heard Yun Mujiu say a few months ago. At that time, he came up with some thoughts.

Perhaps Yun Mujiu was too obsessed with his past life, and when he was reincarnated into this life, he would occasionally recall some events from his past life.

Or perhaps, Yun Mujiu had a hard time in the Yun Mansion in her early years, and the physical and mental trauma caused her memory disorder, and she even said the wrong words in her dream, pronouncing Prince Ye Chuao as "Li Ziao" and Yun Shirou as "Wang Shirou".

His Highness Ye Wang has never been a person who believes in ghosts and gods. He does not believe in heaven and earth, he only believes that man can conquer nature. But when it comes to Yun Mujiu's incident, he has a strange change of mind and begins to pay attention to some fantasy concepts.

At this moment, Ye Xiaohan continued to recall: Or maybe, there was no such thing as reincarnation memory confusing the memory of this life, Yun Mujiu - just had an ordinary dream and said some nonsense.

Just like Yun Mujiu explained to him, he was confused when he was sleeping, so some actual situations in the real world were misinterpreted in his dream. Everything was just a confused dream, just nonsense in his dream.

Soon, Ye Xiaohan came back to his senses and noticed from the corner of his eye that his two subordinates had been lowering their heads. They were also pushing each other, and seemed to be arguing silently about some topic.

Ye Xiaohan coughed lightly and turned to talk to them about business.

Keeping an eye on the Dongyang Yu family's actions, there is no room for carelessness. First, the Yu family is a traitor to the previous dynasty. Second, the Yu family and the Dongyang royal family have both intervened in Zhongyue territory and are searching for spiritual veins.

Thirdly, the Yu family has some mysterious illusions, which can be considered somewhat mysterious, and further attention needs to be paid to this family. Of course, this is not Yun Mujiu’s personal matter, but for the overall situation.

Fourthly, it is because the Yu family has been involved in many events recently, and more importantly, the Yu family is also involved with the forces that the East Asian Empire once sent to assassinate the Night King, that is, the Yu family is one of the enemies of the Night King.

Upon hearing this, Wei Bai and Du Ziheng took on an extremely serious look, no longer showing the little eye contact they had just made. It seemed that they were asking each other just now - what exactly does the prince think about investigating souls?

...

...

...

At that time, Yun Mujiu was almost walking from the backyard to the front yard of Huayang Courtyard. She had planned to go to the study to find Ye Xiaohan immediately, but halfway through, she heard that a servant suddenly fainted, so she also took a detour to see him. Fortunately, the other party was just suffering from heatstroke, so she prescribed him some heat-relief liquid to drink.

Logically speaking, Du Ziheng was the palace physician who had worked in the Ye Wang Mansion for many years, so it should be Du Ziheng who saw the patients. But now there was another doctor, Yun Mujiu, in the Ye Wang Mansion. She liked to see patients when she had nothing to do, so this time she did not ask someone to call Du Ziheng to see the patients, but went to see the patients herself.

Of course, before Yun Mujiu treated the servant, other servants suggested asking Du Ziheng for help, but another personal guard vetoed it, saying that Master Du had gone out of the house to do something. They didn't know what it was specifically, but they only heard that he was going to receive some new news from the Hanying Guards.

In the study, after Ye Xiaohan finished talking about the arrangements for the investigation of the Yu family, he turned to thinking. To outsiders, it seemed that King Ye was reviewing his new order, or was conceiving of a new order.

In fact, the Night King was lost in endless thinking. He didn't know what to do...

Faced with the special things about Mu Jiu, he couldn't find any results after investigating. Now he chose to uncover this matter in his confused self-thinking, but he was not sure whether his move to interrupt the investigation was correct.

His Highness the Night King, who had never found it difficult to lead troops in battle, now had a rare wavering mentality.

Ye Xiaohan was thinking whether he had given the right order. It was not that he did not trust Yun Mujiu, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart - if Yun Mujiu came suddenly and left suddenly, what should he do...

It was precisely because this uneasiness had never been eliminated that he sent people all over the world to investigate soul matters after Yun Mujiu had spoken those words in his sleep cursing traitors.

He is not afraid of people's origins, he is just afraid that they will come suddenly and leave suddenly.

At this time, Ye Xiaohan sighed silently. Never mind. Let's leave it at that. If she didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions. If she didn't say anything, he wouldn't investigate further.

Just do as the lover that woman likes, that is, let her go and trust her.

Ye Xiaohan came back to his senses and asked Du Ziheng: "What was the princess busy with this morning?"

Du Ziheng was stunned and whispered, "Your Majesty, I don't know. After you and Wei Bai left the palace, I also left."

"Hmm?" Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone carrying a hint of creepy awe.

A "hmm" said nothing, but it seemed like it said everything.

Wei Bai scolded Du Ziheng: "Didn't the prince ask you to stay in the mansion and help the princess with some work?"

"Yes, but..." Du Ziheng was a little ashamed, "But at that time our people brought back clues about the soul, and I couldn't wait, so I went out of the house to get it myself."

"You." Wei Bai held his forehead. Du Ziheng not only disobeyed the prince's order, but also made such a big scene of leaving the palace in person. Was he afraid that the princess would not notice his extraordinary behavior?

"It's really stupid." Wei Bo commented.

Du Ziheng realized it later and turned to look at the man with an indifferent face.

"Your Majesty, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that the princess noticed my actions, right?"

"What do you think?" Ye Xiaohan suddenly stood up and walked towards Du Ziheng, "When I returned home, I heard the guards say that the princess was seeing a doctor."

Du Ziheng was dumbfounded. It was such a coincidence. Someone just happened to be sick, someone just happened to notice the whereabouts of a doctor like him, the princess just happened to know his whereabouts when she was seeing a doctor, and the clue he went to get was just related to the princess.

"No way! The princess won't find out anything, right?" Du Ziheng struggled desperately.

At this time, a sound like a silver bell rang out.

"Is the prince here?" This was Yun Mujiu's voice.

"Princess, the prince is discussing matters with Master Wei Bai and Master Du inside." This was the voice of the personal guard at the door.

Yun Mujiu was about to say forget it, and not disturb Ye Xiaohan and the others first. But before he could finish his words, he saw the tightly closed door of the study being opened from the inside, and a face that was extremely handsome came into view.

"The princess is here, come in." Ye Xiaohan brought Yun Mujiu into the house.

Yun Mujiu saw Du Ziheng and said in surprise: "Du Ziheng, you are back."

"Princess, Princess..." Du Ziheng smiled, "I'm sorry, I should have listened to your order and stayed in the mansion to help you, but I ended up troubling you to see patients for me."

Yun Mujiu waved his hand, "What's the big deal? It's just a consultation. Besides, you and I are both practicing doctors. If there are patients who need us, we will go to the hospital. It's our duty as a doctor. There's no need to distinguish between you and me."

Du Ziheng blushed and agreed. As he bit his tongue, he heard Yun Mujiu suddenly ask, "My Lord, from what Du Ziheng said, did you leave the mansion this morning?"

Ye Xiaohan nodded, pointed to a chair and asked Yun Mujiu to sit down.

Afterwards, he sat down beside Yun Mujiu and told Yun Mujiu about his time outside near the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi and how he saw the group of people from the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi discussing something.

Yun Mujiu held the teacup in his hand and sighed unintentionally: "It's a pity that the telescope can only help people see clearly, but it can't help people hear."

This stunned Ye Xiaohan and the other two. Wei Bo asked first, "Is there any object that can hear the voices of people far away?"

What kind of object is so magical? Anyone who can realize the existence of such an object must be extraordinary. Is this something that normal people can understand?

Wei Bai couldn't help but think of the conversation between the three of them before Yun Mujiu entered the palace. A thought came to his mind: Is the princess a human? How come she knows everything?

Yun Mujiu felt that she had just spoken too bluntly, and said carefully: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. We don't have such an object that can help us hear the voices of people far away. Maybe others have such magical objects. Or, in the future, talented people will be able to create such objects."

She would like to have a recording device so that she can listen to messages through eavesdropping devices without lurking next to the enemy. However, the doctor system is mainly for curing diseases and saving lives, and most of these non-medical equipment are not available.

Wei Bo pondered for a while, nodded, and jokingly added: "Maybe the immortals in heaven have such treasures."

"There is no need for treasures. Maybe the immortal himself has the ability to hear sounds from a distance." Du Ziheng added.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan, then joked with Wei Bo and Du Ziheng: "As the old saying goes, 'eyes that can see far away and ears that can hear far away', that's all. I would like to become an immortal, so that I can have all the skills, how powerful it would be."

"Not good." A sudden voice sounded.

Yun Mujiu looked at the man who was speaking, "What's wrong with that?"

"If you ascend to heaven, what shall I do?" The Night King's voice was very cold, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of resentment at the end of his voice...
