The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan's answer undoubtedly gave everyone present a reassurance. As for how to deal with the Third Young Master Ling next, everyone already had a plan in mind.

wait.

The Third Young Master planned to do things on his own, and it was not convenient for them to intervene. They would just wait for the right time to see if they wanted to get involved.

Ye Wang took Yun Mujiu's question very well, and then Yun Mujiu asked Wei Bai: "Do you know what to do now?"

Wei Bai nodded his head rapidly: "I will watch quietly from the sidelines."

Du Ziheng interrupted, "Speaking of which, why are you so curious about Master Ling Sansan's affairs? And you asked the prince and princess whether they want to help Master Ling Sansan?"

Wei Song continued, "Yes, you can't possibly have some old friendship with the Third Young Master Ling like Young Master Meng did, right?"

"Stop, stop, stop." Wei Bai shook his head and waved his hands at the two people who were asking questions. He said forcefully, "I'm just asking out of curiosity. That day, the princess and I went to the other courtyard to meet the third son of the Ling family. I saw that he always wanted to stay in the capital, and his attitude was very strong, so I have always been very curious about his intention to stay in the capital."

"And this curiosity has continued until now, so I took the opportunity to ask the prince and princess some questions."

Finally, Wei Bai said to Wei Song seriously, "I have no friendship with the Third Young Master Ling. I met him in Zhongyue only because of the introduction of the Prince and the Princess. I only had the opportunity to meet him." He has been with the Prince since he was a child, unlike Ling Xingmu who ran around as a child and met Meng Ninglang at the southern border. In other words, when he was a child, he was still very close to the Prince to do things, so he didn't have many opportunities to meet other people.

Du Ziheng and Wei Song just asked out of curiosity and didn't think much about it. When they heard Wei Bo's serious answer, their doubts were dispelled.

Yun Mujiu listened to the conversation between the three people silently, turned around to look at Ye Xiaohan, but saw that he had an indifferent expression on his face and was drinking tea leisurely, as if he did not hear the conversation between his subordinates.

Yun Mujiu couldn't help but sigh to Ye Xiaohan. Ye Xiaohan was such an indifferent and quiet person, but he had such a group of troublesome subordinates around him. It can be seen that His Royal Highness King Ye is still a very patient person to some extent.

Yun Mujiu frowned, and just as he was thinking about this, he heard an indifferent voice.

"What a disgrace to make such a noise. Get out of here right now, my king."

Wei Bai and the other two trembled instantly, apologized in a trembling voice, turned around and rushed away.

Yun Mujiu couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and she didn't even notice that her frown had relaxed.

Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu out of the corner of his eye and continued to drink his tea calmly.

In the courtyard outside the meeting room, Wei Bo and the other two were almost running away, and they didn't want anyone to run faster than them, which led to a funny scene.

At the same time, the three of them all thought of the same question: "Speaking of which, we were talking fine, and the prince didn't seem to have any opinions about us, but why did the prince suddenly tell us to get out!"

Wei Bo and the other two were not the Night King himself, so they simply could not figure out the answer to this question. And His Majesty the Night King would not answer it for them. Therefore, this little episode of doubt remained in their minds for most of the day.

When night fell, they finished their work and went back to their respective courtyards in the Night King's Palace to sleep, still holding this doubt. However, they were scolded so many times that they were used to it. If they couldn't figure it out, they would stop thinking about it and rested obediently.

Over the past month, Wei Bai, Wei Song and Du Ziheng rarely returned to their own residences and stayed at King Ye's Mansion most of the time.

Those people outside who are watching the Night King's Palace may have to spy on or find out the latest information about the Night King and his wife from the whereabouts and every move of their confidants.

In the central area of ​​the capital, the spies near the residences of Wei Bai and Wei Song retreated and left. At the same time, two spies also quietly left the residence of Du Ziheng at the end of another street.

These people were none other than the secret guards sent by the Emperor to monitor the Night Prince's Palace. However, seeing that they could not get close to the Night Prince's Palace, nor could they find out the internal information of the Night Prince's Palace, they could only turn around and set their sights on the residences of the Night Prince's confidants.

Unfortunately, the emperor and these secret agents' plans were in vain. Several of his trusted aides rarely went back to live there, so how could others check on them?

...

After the palace gates were locked, the emperor received news from the spies outside the palace, and his thick brows were tightly furrowed.

Haolian Di originally thought that Ye Xiaohan had no hope of rising in this life, so he had been trying his best to suppress Ye Xiaohan and his faction since the end of last winter.

Later, he saw that he could not completely eradicate the problem, and that the Night Palace did not make any major moves, so he relaxed his vigilance against Ye Xiaohan.

However, in the past half month, Ye Xiaohan had been in a subtle confrontation with the imperial court and with the emperor over Yun Mujiu's matter.

Xu Houshan's cronies were forced to step down, and the power he had accumulated in the court was greatly reduced. Now, he wanted to support new ministers from Dong Cun's faction to be promoted to new positions, but he was blocked and suppressed by people from the Night King's faction.

Emperor Haolian wanted to take advantage of the incident of Xu Houshan being poisoned by Caocaotang to ruin the reputation of King Ye and his wife. He wanted to use this incident as a starting point to continuously slander King Ye and his wife and eventually bring them down, but in the end his plan failed.

Later, he became troubled by the safety of Nantai's mysterious team, the Nine Realms of the Netherworld, and even the eastern and western borders. He became increasingly unwell and felt overwhelmed.

Under the influence of his physical discomfort, he had no energy or mind to think more, and he simply thought that Ye Xiaohan was showing signs of success recently - but he was just venting Yun Mujiu's anger.

As for the bigger move of rising up, Ye Xiaohan is not capable of doing it.

For this reason, in the past ten days or so, Emperor Haolian completely ignored the Night King. However, he was too vigilant and was afraid in his heart that the Night King would pull him down from the throne, so he still sent several secret agents to keep an eye on the Night King's subordinates.

However, what the emperor didn't know was that when Ye Wang came to the emperor and the court, he was venting his anger on Yun Mujiu and paving the way for his own rise...

At this moment, the emperor's eyebrows were twisted so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

"I can't find anything! Why do useless people like Wei Song always stay in the Night King's Mansion?"

Several secret guards kneeled on the ground, lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to answer.

The emperor had a splitting headache. Although he didn't want to ask about Ye Xiaohan's news anymore, he had sent people to investigate, hoping to get some feedback. But things didn't go as planned, and nothing came of it.

Gaining nothing, the narrow-minded Haolian Emperor could not help but feel very unhappy. The depression that had been pent up for a long time was lingering in his heart and was difficult to dissipate.

My head suddenly began to throb, as if it was going to explode.

Doctor Shi and his apprentice Zheng Yuan, who were standing in the corner, saw the emperor's change of expression and couldn't help but feel worried for him. If the emperor got angry again, they couldn't guarantee that they could save and cure him...
