The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Prince Di came back to his senses and looked back at Concubine Liang.

"Mother, what did you just say?"

"Chu Di, does your mood fluctuate when you hear that person's name?" Concubine Liang asked indifferently.

She didn't specify whose name it was, but Prince Di knew that his mother was asking about Yun Mujiu.

Prince Di shook his head fiercely: "No." He looked at Concubine Liang steadily and explained: "I was just thinking about something and my mind was distracted for a moment."

"That's good." Concubine Liang curled her lips and said earnestly, "Now you are a prince with military power, and she has married."

"Besides, she is a bit weird. You and she are not the same kind of people. You see, her personality changed drastically after she got the marriage with Prince Ye. She became more and more arrogant. She bullied her younger siblings, disrespected her parents, and betrayed her family as soon as she got married. Now she has messed up the Yun Mansion. Look at the miserable end of the people in the Yun Mansion. It's all because of her!"

As Concubine Liang was talking, she became even more angry and said angrily, "A group of servants from the Yun Mansion were sold out, and many of them died before and after they were sold out."

"The residence of the left prime minister has fallen to its current miserable state, with income not enough to cover expenses and living in poverty."

"The Ye family was completely wiped out. Ye was demoted from the position of mistress to concubine, and then her engagement was annulled. She was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned. Prime Minister Yun was almost deposed from his position as prime minister. He was seriously injured and his official hat was about to be lost. Yun Shirou was reduced to a concubine, disabled and without a clean name. Yun Jingyu went from being a rich son to a commoner. He was expelled from the academy and lived outside..."

"Aren't all these tragic events caused by Yun Mujiu?"

“Mother…” Prince Di lowered his eyes, and then said calmly: “This is not Yun Mujiu’s original intention.”

"You?" Concubine Liang's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Chu Di! You actually spoke for her?"

"Mother!" Prince Di was helpless. After thinking for a while, he searched for an idea in his mind and said in a calm tone: "I am not speaking for her, I am just stating some facts." Of course, he also meant to speak for her, but he would not tell his mother this.

Prince Di wanted to continue talking, but when he saw Concubine Liang's ugly face, he stopped talking. Finally, he could only change the subject and asked with a worried look on his face: "By the way, mother, how is father's health now?"

"Your father..." Concubine Liang shuddered suddenly. Now the emperor's affairs are the most important, and other things are not important.

She quickly stood up, and while pacing back and forth, she immediately told the news she had heard. Some time ago, the emperor suddenly summoned all the people in the Imperial Hospital to the bedroom, and even alarmed the empress and Concubine Yu, who wanted to accompany the emperor overnight.

Later, no special news came from the Emperor's side, and the Empress and Concubine Yu were unable to take close care of the Emperor and find out any useful information.

Later, the emperor did not attend the morning court for two days, and announced to the public that "there is no important matter in the court these days, and the ministers do not need to attend the court to discuss it." But Concubine Liang felt that there must be a reason why the emperor suddenly did not attend the court.

At the end of the conversation, Concubine Liang turned to talk about the emperor's health status. She was worried that the emperor was ill but she kept it a secret from everyone. At the same time, she was also glad that nothing bad happened to the emperor while Chu Di was about to return. Otherwise, if the emperor had an accident early, wouldn't Chu Di, who was far away, be unable to pursue the throne in time?

Prince Di listened to Concubine Liang's words quietly, thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will send someone to check on the safety of the emperor. I will also take the initiative to care for the emperor."

Concubine Liang was relieved. With Chu Di's help, even if something serious happened to the emperor, it would not affect them. More importantly, Chu Di could better participate in the power struggle.

Moreover, now that Chu Di has returned to the capital, he will certainly be able to win over more connections in the court and expand the influence of King Di's faction. By then, both mother and son will be able to act more arrogantly in the court.

After a long conversation, King Di left Ningxiang Palace, followed by a group of soldiers. The main door of Ningxiang Palace closed again, and there was no one on either side of the door.

King Di took a few steps and looked up at the sky. The sun was no longer hanging in the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the colorful clouds were interweaving on the entire curtain. It looked so bright and colorful, and pleasing to the heart.

The scenery was beautiful, but he had no time to pay attention to it.

Yun Mujiu, the king is back.

I wonder if you are okay?

...

The evening clouds were as heavy as lead, drawing streaks of light on the sky and hanging above the palace walls.

The palace seemed a little deserted in the evening. There were fewer palace maids, eunuchs and guards walking around, and most of those who were still walking on the road were walking in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to get back to somewhere to do some work.

There were no concubines walking on the roads in the palace, and the occasional sounds of laughter and playing during the day were also gone.

In the quiet imperial garden, there is a small pavilion scattered among the jungle.

A red figure leaned against the white jade railing in the pavilion, and a faint aroma of mellow wine filled the air.

The man raised his head, revealing his handsome jawline, and drank the amber nectar from the silver-gilt wine pot. After each sip, he praised directly: "Good wine! Really good wine!"

His voice was excited and his pronunciation was a little unclear, and he seemed to be a little drunk.

When King Di came over, this was the scene he saw.

The man in red heard the footsteps and looked over with hazy eyes. For a long while, there was no response.

King Di waved to the soldiers behind him and walked forward alone.

"Seventh brother."

"Hmm?" The man in red was a little confused and tilted his head: "Who are you?"

Prince Di half-knelt down and pointed at his face: "I am the third brother Ye Chudi, and you are the seventh prince Ye Chufeng."

Ye Chufeng opened his eyes wide, and then gradually came back to his senses. "It's Third Brother. Third Brother, I have some good wine, do you want to enjoy it with me?"

Prince Di shook his head slightly. "No need for wine. I have to prepare to leave the palace. Let's talk about it next time."

Ye Chufeng looked at the silver-gilt wine jug in his hand and sighed, looking quite regretful.

He raised the wine jug in his hand again and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. A few silver lines slid down his chin into his half-open collar.

"Third brother, what a pity, I got some good wine today."

Upon hearing this, King Di replied, "No problem, just enjoy more for your third brother."

As he spoke, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes, and half of the corners of his mouth were tilted upwards.

Ye Chufeng lowered his head and did not notice how his so-called third brother looked at him.

If there is someone here who knows the Third Prince, he will definitely see that his micro-expression expresses a hint of sarcasm.

King Di hadn't seen his brother for a long time, and he didn't feel anything when he saw him again, not even any emotional ups and downs. In his impression, this brother was always only interested in drinking and having fun, accomplishing nothing, living a shabby life, and was the most disliked one among his brothers and sisters.

Ye Chufeng staggered to his feet, and it seemed that even his steps were unsteady, like a drunkard in the market.

King Di had no intention of coming forward to support him, but stood up on his own, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the person in front of him with a cold look...
