The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu lowered his eyes slightly and secretly glanced at the prince.

The prince stepped forward to stop Yun Mujiu from taking action, and Yun Shirou felt secretly happy.

She was about to cry, and she took a handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, you are here. Woo woo... I almost died at the hands of Princess Ye."

Yun Shirou knew that the prince liked women who knew how to show weakness and had a gentle personality. This kind of woman was most likely to arouse a man's desire to protect her.

Every time she used this trick, the prince would take the bait.

There was a flash of disdain in the prince's eyes. Normally, he would feel distressed when Yun Shirou cried, but now looking at her miserable appearance, he couldn't feel distressed or sympathetic, and even felt a little annoyed.

The arrogant Yun Mujiu in front of him seemed even more charming.

But thinking of Yun Xiang behind Yun Shirou, the prince still pretended to be a gentleman.

Yun Shirou cannot get into any harm, and he also needs Yun Shirou's help to get Yun Xiang's help.

He accused: "Yun...ah no, Aunt Huang, how could you hurt Miss Shirou with a sword? After all, she is still your sister."

Yun Mujiu had publicly exposed the affair between the prince and Yun Shirou. Now the prince did not dare to show his closeness to Yun Shirou in front of others. He could only maintain his status as the prince and advocate the so-called "justice".

He is the prince, so he cannot just watch someone being bullied innocently.

Yun Mujiu asked back, "Using a sword to hurt someone? Which eye of yours saw me assassinate Yun Shirou?"

“This…” The prince glanced at Yun Shirou and found that there were indeed no sword wounds on her body.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have hurt Miss Shirou."

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "I was just joking with Yun Shirou. I didn't intend to kill her."

"Besides, Yun Shirou insulted my biological mother, so I deserve to beat her up."

The prince realized that Yun Mujiu could not be accused of committing the crime with a sword, so he changed his explanation.

"I saw you slap Miss Shirou and push her down the stairs, causing her to fall and injure her head. This is too much!"

Yun Shirou looked up at the prince with gratitude. He was indeed the man she loved, as he was willing to stand up for her in times of crisis.

Yun Mujiu put away his sword and asked casually, "What would you do if someone bullied you?"

The prince was thinking about how to force Yun Mujiu to give an explanation to Yun Shirou. Although he felt a little strange when he heard Yun Mujiu's question, he still answered it without hesitation.

"Of course we should fight back."

"It was Yun Shirou who rushed over to hit me first. I accidentally 'touched' her in order to protect myself. What's wrong with that?"

The prince had never been treated with such sharp words before. Yun Mujiu was really not polite at all when speaking to him.

The prince's face flushed, and he said in a harsh tone: "Then you have gone too far!"

Yun Mujiu touched his nose and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"what…"

Then, she asked loudly, "What is the relationship between the prince and Miss Yun Er? The prince is particularly concerned about her!"

The prince and Yun Shirou's lips trembled slightly, and neither of them dared to give a direct answer.

If they admitted their relationship now, wouldn't that mean they were personally testifying that the two of them had been secretly hooking up together when Yun Mujiu's original childhood marriage was still alive?

The prince and Yun Shirou do not plan to make their relationship public now. It will not be too late to openly announce that they are together after some time when people's memories have faded.

Ye Chuao raised his chin and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Your Highness is really kindhearted. Then help Second Miss Yun up. The ground is cold. Otherwise, Second Miss Yun will get frozen and then blame others."

The prince's expression eased slightly.

Yun Mujiu was quite polite and tactfully gave him and Yun Shirou a way out.

The prince shook his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and leaned towards Yun Shirou.

Yun Shirou smiled shyly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The prince slowly helped Yun Shirou up. Before both of them could stand firmly, Yun Mujiu also stretched out his hands and gently supported Yun Shirou's right arm.

Yun Mujiu held a thin needle in his hand under his sleeve and quickly pricked Yun Shirou's wrist.

Yun Shirou felt a slight itch on her wrist and thought it was a small insect crawling over, but the next second she felt nothing, so she thought she was mistaken.

Yun Shirou suddenly felt her legs go weak, and her body was about to fall. Yun Mujiu used the force to push her slightly, and Yun Shirou fell straight into the prince's arms.

The prince could only catch Yun Shirou in a hurry. Yun Mujiu took advantage of the cover of his wide sleeves to quickly inject two needles into the prince's waist.

She moved quickly and with very little force.

Yun Shirou fell too suddenly, and her foot stepped hard on the prince.

The prince only felt a pain in his foot and didn't notice anything else.

Ye Xiaohan was observing this scene in the dark, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Yun Mujiu had no feelings for the prince, but instead hated him to the extreme.

According to the investigation of the secret guards, Yun Mujiu had always been obsessed with the prince and often followed him. He wanted to send someone to kill Yun Mujiu on the wedding night to get rid of this chess piece who intended to humiliate him.

However, when he began to know and understand Yun Mujiu, he felt that those were all rumors.

How could a woman like Yun Mujiu risk her life for that useless prince...

Yun Mujiu stopped supporting Yun Shirou. She clapped her hands and said coldly, "This princess is not feeling well and needs to take medicine. I won't accompany you guys to make trouble here."

After today, Yun Shirou will be poisoned and the prince will be impotent...

She has been outside for quite some time, and Ye Xiaohan should still be waiting for her to prepare the medicinal bath.

Yun Mujiu turned around and left gracefully, leaving the prince and Yun Shirou hugging each other.

Ye Xiaohan also turned and left. He wanted to return to Huayang Courtyard in advance to prepare for the medicinal bath.

Most importantly, he didn't want Yun Mujiu to know that he came to visit her.

The prince saw that there were still some civilians at the scene, so he quickly pushed Yun Shirou away and said seriously: "Second Miss Yun, I will send a carriage to take you back home, so that Prime Minister Yun won't worry about you."

Since he has come forward to help Yun Shirou, he has to do his part in a comprehensive manner. Otherwise, how can he establish the good reputation of Ye Chuao as a person who is dedicated to the people?

Yun Shirou nodded and said, "Thank you, Prince."

The prince still cares about her. As long as the prince is still in her hands, she will naturally have more capital to deal with Yun Mujiu in the future!

The prince's entourage immediately rushed to the carriage, and the prince helped Yun Shirou into the carriage.

The injured Su Wen also waited for the carriage that his entourage arrived. He was helped into the carriage and looked back at Yun Mujiu before leaving.

The remaining onlookers gradually dispersed.

Only a few personal guards were left at the door of Ye Mansion, while the others lined up to go back.

Yun Mujiu walked up the stairs step by step.

"Swish" the sound of an arrow was heard.

Yun Mujiu turned around immediately, and a Yefu guard in front of her swung his sword to cut off the arrow.

The arrow head pierced straight into the ground, and Yun Mujiu noticed with his sharp eyes that the color of the arrow head was somewhat different from that of the arrow body.

not good!

"careful!"

No one expected that there was something wrong with the arrow, but it was too late.

The arrow fell to the ground, the arrowhead exploded, and a cloud of gray smoke spread out.
