The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan did not come back this morning.

Wei Bai had just learned this news, but he did not run to Qichiyuan to specifically inform Yun Mujiu.

If no one specifically asks about some information, there is no need to tell others, especially those information that may easily arouse suspicion and questioning.

Furthermore, there is no need to announce unimportant news specifically, so as to avoid the feeling of making things more obvious.

In this regard, Wei Bo chose to remain silent for the time being. The prince sometimes stayed overnight outside the palace, and this kind of thing had happened before.

Previously, the prince went to demolish Biluoxuesha's attic, went out to seize Biluoxuesha's stronghold, and went to teach a lesson to the Dragon Staff Guards and the Imperial Guards sent by the Emperor... every time he spent the night outside.

After Yun Mujiu had breakfast, he sat in the yard and began to think about some things.

Yesterday, Yingliu told her that he seemed to have seen a rather special carriage on the long street at the entrance of the garden.

There was a small wooden sign hanging on the right side of the carriage with the word "three" written on it.

According to this special style, a wooden plaque with a serial number can be hung on Zhongyue, and the carriage itself is luxurious and elegant, with guards waiting beside the carriage. It can be seen that the owner of this carriage is Zhongyue’s third prince, namely King Di.

Next to the carriage of King Di, there was also a carriage, which looked simple but was made of the finest nanmu wood. It was luxurious yet low-key.

After a moment's thought, Yun Mujiu guessed who was traveling with King Di.

It must be the eldest son of the Ling family, Ling Chiye.

King Di invited Ling Chiye to visit the garden together, and it happened to be the day when Yun Mujiu went to the garden.

Yun Mujiu didn't know at this moment that among the crowd that saw her saving people yesterday, there were many onlookers who were watching her from various places. Some were on the small bridge over the lake, some were in front of the flowers, some were under the trees, and some were in a small pavilion hidden by the bamboo bushes.

Even though Yun Mu's nine eyes were watching eight directions, and Ying Liu in the dark was watching people all around, they were unable to penetrate the obstructions of vegetation and buildings, let alone see who was behind these obstructions.

For this reason, Yun Mujiu and his group could not be sure that King Di and Ling Chiye were among the crowd of onlookers, and were staying in a hidden place without being discovered.

However, even if King Di and Ling Chiye saw Yun Mujiu and his group, it would not matter. First, Yun Mujiu wore a bamboo hat, and Suixi Fusang had disguised himself. Second, and more importantly, King Di and Ling Chiye had never seen Yun Mujiu's two personal attendants, and had no idea of ​​Yun Mujiu's original appearance. In addition, King Di was not familiar with Yun Mujiu, so there was no chance for them to have face-to-face contact and communication.

During the more than one year since King Di left the capital, Yun Mujiu has completely changed into a different person. Not only has the black birthmark on her face caused by the toxin been removed, restoring her original appearance, but her appearance and demeanor have also been completely renewed, making her a stunningly beautiful woman.

I'm afraid that even if Yun Mujiu was standing in front of King Di, King Di would not recognize her.

Yun Mujiu picked up a cup of flower tea and said to Suixi Fusang, "Don't worry, as long as we don't take the initiative to say that we are the ones who rescued people yesterday, King Di and Ling Chiye will not be able to recognize our true identities."

"To put it another way, it doesn't matter if they know we rescued someone. They just knew I was quietly sneaking out of the palace to have some fun during my recuperation."

Fusang seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty had someone throw back the visiting card and gifts from Prince Di. Do you think Prince Di will still want to come to the gate of our Ye Palace?"

Yun Mujiu didn't have much memory of Prince Di. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's possible. Prince Di is not a simple prince. The prince is the regent of Zhongyue. When Prince Di returns to the capital this time, he will definitely pay special attention to the prince."

For various reasons, Prince Di certainly wanted to find out the news from Prince Ye's Palace.

But Yun Mujiu saw that Ye Xiaohan seemed to dislike King Di very much, otherwise he wouldn't have shown a hint of anger on his indifferent face the moment he saw King Di's visiting card. Ye Xiaohan was extremely disgusted with King Di, right? Although she was not sure why Ye Xiaohan showed such a straightforward aversion to a person...

Yun Mujiu collected his thoughts and smiled at Fusang: "It doesn't matter if he still wants to come, it depends on whether the prince will agree."

Given Ye Xiaohan's temper, he would probably whip King Di one more time, letting him once again enjoy the painful moment of having his skin torn and flesh bleed.

Fusang smiled faintly: "I understand." She laughed in her heart: The prince cares about the princess so much, how could he let Prince Di meet the princess?

Yun Mujiu drank a few sips of scented tea, and the headache caused by the nightmare seemed to fade a lot as the hot tea went down his stomach.

She thought about it for a moment, then turned around and instructed Suixi, "Tell Xianggen's people to check if there is anything special about Youming Jiuchong, such as whether he has any strange disease."

Suixi was very loyal, he would do whatever Yun Mujiu asked him to do, and never asked so many questions. He nodded and went to pass the message to Xianggen's people.

Prior to this, Yun Mujiu had organized a group of forces on her own, based on the hundreds of warriors she initially redeemed from the underground market, and gradually expanded and developed forces that were exclusively loyal to her.

Now that the power has developed more stably, she temporarily named it "Xianggen", and the code name of her master circulated in the world is simply the word "Yuan".

Yuan, her other identity.

...

In a private room on the third floor of a large restaurant in the capital, two young men were sitting at a table.

On the walls of the elegant room, there were many lifelike pictures of laurel flowers, and on the wooden racks in the corners, potted plants were planted with common Chinese medicinal herbs with colorful flowers. This style of decoration and layout was the first of its kind in Jia Zhongyue.

The man in the sky blue gown smiled faintly: "King Di, thank you for inviting me to dinner here."

The man in the reddish-brown brocade robe smiled faintly. "Chiye, what are you talking about? You have come from afar, so of course I have to entertain you well."

"Thank you." Ling Chiye replied indifferently, and finally accepted the kindness that King Di deliberately expressed.

King Di's face lit up with joy, and he invited them to eat. He then said, "You can just call me by my name. You don't have to call me the king, or the third prince."

"It's a little against etiquette... I'd better call you 'Third Prince'." Ling Chiye's voice was calm, yet firm.

King Di was stunned and nodded: "Okay."

Ling Chiye responded generously: "Okay, Third Prince."

Prince Di responded with a smile, and added, "This is my first time at this restaurant as well. I heard that it's become popular to dine here recently, so I asked someone to book a private room in advance, and luckily I was able to get it."

Ling Chiye exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect that there is a private room in the capital that the Third Prince has to book in advance?"

As a prince, he had privileges in most places, not to mention shops not owned by members of the royal family or top aristocratic families. When those shops that didn't have a big background heard that an important person was coming, they would rush to provide comprehensive and thoughtful services, and there was no need to make an appointment in advance.

As a prince, King Di had to queue up to book a private room like ordinary people. The person behind this restaurant has a very special status and a very special way of doing things...
