The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In a moment, the queen finished her words, raised her rosy lips, and a meaningful smile blossomed at the corner of her mouth.

Very good, another trick was given to Yun Mujiu.

When she put down her pen and stood up, it was not yet dark outside.

It gets dark later in the summer, so the gates of the capital city close later than in the spring.

At this time, the city gate was still open, and many people were coming and going, trying to get in and out of the city gate. Otherwise, when the time came, the gate would be closed, and ordinary people would have no way to ask the gatekeepers to reopen the city gate.

Among the people queuing in and out, some with sharp eyes noticed that there seemed to be many more soldiers guarding the gate today than in the past. For some reason, there were several neatly dressed imperial guards on duty? But they did not participate in the inspection of people entering and leaving the city gate. It seemed that they were waiting for someone to return?

The hour of Xu was approaching, but the gatekeeper still had no intention of closing the city gate.

Soon, people near the city gate widened their eyes to see a team returning in a mighty manner in the distance.

This is the team of King Di and the Northern Territory.

Behind this team, Princess Beimanji’s envoy team also arrived in a high-profile manner.

After that, there was a mixed team of various Beihan factions, mainly composed of Beihan's divine doctors.

Finally, a small group of people dressed like civilians entered the city in a low-key manner.

The situation in the capital city, which is already complicated and changeable, has now welcomed a new influx of blood...

That night, the arrival of many people also attracted the attention of countless people. The former dynasty, the harem, the aristocratic families, the organizations and sects, etc., all reacted.

The next day, King Di appeared at the morning court and reported to the emperor his experiences in the Northern Territory.

The emperor had not seen his third son for a long time, and he was quite surprised. Although the process of Prince Di's return to Beijing was full of twists and turns, and he intervened in the affairs of the mysterious team on the way, he ended up with a failed intervention. Not only did he fail to successfully capture those assassins alive, but he also failed to find out any useful key information.

But he was a highly respected prince after all, and the emperor gave Prince Di enough face in front of his ministers.

At the morning court, Prince Di briefly reported on the trip north to investigate the Nantai team. He would report more information to the emperor in private, rather than release too much information to everyone at the moment. Of course, for the sake of face, Prince Di did not elaborate on his experience of being unilaterally crushed by the Nether Ninth Layer.

The long whip wound on his body caused by the Netherworld Nine-Layer Whip was already fading and was not very obvious.

King Di did not explain the scars on his body, and others thought they were accidentally left during the fight with the enemy's soldiers.

At today's morning court, in addition to King Di's work report, everyone also had a brief exchange of views on the news from the public.

They had all heard stories about the King of Hell told by storytellers and opera troupes in the city, but when they inquired a little further, they found that they could not find out who had provided these people with this information.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Who else could have given it to you?"

Who in the world dares to leak the information of the Master of Mu Shi Jiuyou Pavilion?

The answer is self-evident. Those news were not released by Youming Jiuchong himself.

The emperor took a deep breath and could only continue to instruct everyone to pay attention to Youming Jiuchong's whereabouts. In his heart, he was still thinking about how to regain his face from Youming Jiuchong!

Prince Di knew that the emperor was trying to save face, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to say, "Father, I wonder if I can help you with your worries. Now that I'm back, I have to do something good for the people of Zhongyue."

"I'm glad you've got this in mind." The emperor raised his eyebrows, feeling quite satisfied with his son's sensible behavior.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "However, I have my own people to handle this matter. You haven't been back for a long time, so you should just rest for a while."

The condemnation related to the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld ended there, and everyone was unable to come up with any useful solutions. After all, they did not find any useful information, and they did not have the ability to provoke the people from the Nine Nether Pavilion.

The emperor always knew the abilities and thoughts of his subordinates, and he had no intention of extracting anything feasible from these officials. In the final analysis, he wanted to teach Youming Jiuchong a lesson only for the sake of the Zhongyue court's reputation, and to save face for him and the Zhongyue royal family. Therefore, he couldn't be too anxious and impulsive in suppressing Youming Jiuchong, lest others think that he, the emperor, was narrow-minded and didn't care about Zhongyue's overall situation.

In the past, the Night King had crushed him as the emperor in every way and humiliated countless people. In Zhongyue, he was a very powerful figure and there had never been any opponent of the same level who could compare with him.

At this moment, the Night King retreated to the back, but another Ninth Level Netherworld suddenly appeared and crushed his and everyone else's face again.

Emperor Haolian disliked the Night King and Netherworld Nine Layers, and wished he could get rid of Netherworld Nine Layers right away. He had already called in the Dragon Staff Guards and hired assassins from the Blue Sky Blood Killer. Based on the latest clues, these people had already headed out of the capital.

Haolian Di thought: I think there will be new information about the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld soon...

At the end of the morning court, everyone talked about the recent situation in the court.

Firstly, Marquis Changping and Marquis Xixiang are both on their way to the border. I believe that they will successfully reach their destination in the near future and then suppress the unrest that may break out on the border.

Secondly, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the drought in some areas has reached a point where it cannot be contained or intervened. The court can only come up with a plan as soon as possible.

Soon, everyone saluted the emperor, and after the emperor left the hall, they left the hall in groups of three or five.

Prince Di quietly watched the backs of everyone leaving. Uncle Ye did not appear here, and the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Yun had not appeared in the court for a long time. As for his brothers, apart from some ordinary and humble princes, there were only a few who were special.

But so what?

Especially the fifth brother Ye Chuhe, whose legs have been disabled for many years and he is almost dying from multiple illnesses. What is the use of such a person even if he has a favored mother and a capable grandfather? The fifth brother has never had the opportunity to appear in the court.

As for the seventh brother who looked particularly good? What was the use of him? He had no background, no power. His eyes were crippled and he couldn't even see the color of a leaf. In his eyes, such a useless prince was nothing to be feared.

King Di smiled and withdrew his gaze from everyone. He did not follow everyone out of the palace, but went into the inner court to meet his mother.

Concubine Liang had been worried about Prince Di for a long time, and was afraid that something might happen to the emperor, so she had been waiting for her son's quick return in fear.

Prince Di did not delay too much. After paying his respects to the Queen Mother, he quickly went to Concubine Liang's palace.

Of course, the Queen Mother did not show up, but asked the old maid next to her to announce to the public: "She is not feeling well and needs to rest. No one can easily come to Renshou Palace to disturb her."

For this reason, King Di could only send someone to deliver gifts to the Queen Mother, which were rare supplements he brought back from the Northern Territory, in order to express his filial piety as a grandson.

On the other hand, Bei Manji had already checked into the Beihan Envoy's Villa last night...
