The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu's thoughts were still lingering in the garden until he returned to King Ye's Mansion.

She saw colorful rose bushes and lush bamboo forests, and also began to notice a lake deep in the forest.

But she just couldn't find the cluster of flowers she threw away that day. Of course, she didn't come looking for flowers out of regret.

The reason why she came to the garden again was, first, she wanted to think carefully about what kind of hidden illness Youming Jiuchong suffered from, second, she became interested in the mysterious supporter behind the garden and the garden itself, and third, she wanted to walk around the garden more so that one day she could be Ye Xiaohan's guide on a date.

When Yun Mujiu arrived at the garden, the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness she had felt since yesterday became even stronger. She couldn't tell where the feeling of uneasiness came from, nor could she figure out what she had a premonition of and why she was feeling uneasy.

When she looked at the flowerbed, she also found that the cluster of flowers on the ground was gone. Perhaps the gardener had gone to clean it?

On the green grass, there were still a few drops of blood from the Netherworld Ninth Layer. However, the dark red traces had faded a lot as the dew melted away.

Before leaving last time, Yun Mujiu asked Youming Jiuchong many questions, and that person answered them coldly and unhappily.

Now Yun Mujiu thought that there was a question she had forgotten to ask.

Why is the attic of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion eighteen stories high? What is the meaning behind it?

That night, Xianggen’s people had not yet brought the news that Yun Mujiu wanted, that is, whether there was any special mysterious message in the Ninth Level of the Netherworld.

Instead, a new piece of news appeared.

Yun Mujiu stood up quickly and turned to ask the man in black in front of him.

"Was Netherworld Nine assassinated last night?"

"The location is outside the city? Did you just happen to encounter the assassins ambushed by the emperor and Biluo?"

"The whereabouts of Netherworld Nine is unknown now?"

The man in black shuddered and said, "Master Yuan, it is indeed true. This is the information that our subordinates have found."

After a pause, he added: "However, not many people know that Lord Youming is in trouble. Apart from the emperor and the people of Biluo, only a small number of people in Duohun, Xianggen and Mushi know about it."

However, it is hard to say what will happen after a long time. After all, Youming Jiuchong is a well-known demon in the martial arts world. If he makes any move, the martial arts world and the whole world will be shocked.

Yun Mujiu frowned slightly. She had clearly reminded Youming Jiuchong that someone was chasing him. She had also clearly said that the Emperor and Biluo's people were waiting for him outside the city. Why did something happen to Youming Jiuchong again?

When she thought of Youming Jiuchong's abnormal reaction when she left the garden, her heart tightened even more.

It was probably because after Nether Nine fell ill and left, he ran into the killers when he left the city. Nether Nine was in poor health and had to fight alone against the ambushed Dragon Staff Guards and the Azure Killers, so he was in great danger.

Yun Mujiu still found it a little unconvincing. Could the powerful Netherworld Ninth Level be ambushed and assassinated by a killer?

Perhaps, she took it for granted. She was frightened by the ghostly style of Netherworld Nine, and forgot that even if Netherworld Nine was a powerful demon, he was still a mortal after all, not an invincible armor. People will always get hurt and die.

Yun Mujiu waved his hand to let the man in black stand up, and then said seriously: "Continue to track down Youming Jiuchong's whereabouts. As for whether he has any secrets or hidden illnesses, let's put it aside for now. The most urgent task is to find his whereabouts."

She raised her eyes and continued, "Mobilize all the people in Xianggen and divide them into two groups to search for the whereabouts of Netherworld Nineth Layer, with the main focus being outside the city. If you find him, you don't have to kill him or harm him, but try your best to protect him."

"Also, if you find any information about him, please pass it on to the people at Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion in a timely manner."

The man in black had no doubt and nodded vigorously.

Yun Mujiu's eyes darkened, and he spoke again: "Keep an eye on those Dragon Staff Guards and Azure Killers to see if we can find out more information about the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld from them."

The emperor and his people are so disgusting! It is obvious that Youming Jiuchong did a good deed by killing the dead soldiers of another country, but the emperor, for the sake of his broken face, had the vicious idea of ​​taking Youming Jiuchong's life! Dog emperor!

That night, Yun Mujiu issued orders one by one, instructing her subordinates to do things. She only called on people from her own power, and did not use anyone from the Night Palace.

In addition, she did not inform Wei Bo and other people in the Night Palace of her instructions. Her chance encounter with the Netherworld Nine-Layered Garden had been kept secret, and the subsequent matters could not be mentioned to others.

Even when Ye Xiaohan asked Youming Jiuchong to rescue her from the assassination, she only told Ye Xiaohan about it. If the information about the connection with the assassin organization was made public, it would not be good for her, Ye Xiaohan, and the Ye Palace.

Due to various circumstances, she kept her mouth shut about matters related to the Ninth Level of the Netherworld.

On the other side, Wei Bai returned home from the Herb Hall and walked into the bedroom with a tired heart, but turned his head to meet Wei Song and Du Ziheng with serious faces.

He yelled, "I'm so tired today, especially since I went to the Herb Hall to help Fu Qian, a girl, with some work. Most of it was hard labor, and it really exhausted me."

Then, he smiled and said, "Today I followed the princess out. The princess invited us to dinner, and..."

As he was talking, he saw that Wei Song and Du Ziheng did not show any jealousy, but stared at him with dark faces.

Du Ziheng couldn't help it and whispered, "Something happened to the master."

Wei Bai was stunned, then horrified, and almost fell to his knees.

...

In the palace, a Dragon Staff Guard received news from his companions outside the palace. After thinking about it, he went to find Captain Geng Wa.

Geng Wa's expression changed drastically after hearing this. After thinking about it, he went to see the emperor with the news.

The emperor had not fallen asleep yet, and Doctor Shi and Zheng Yuan were waiting by his side.

A few days ago, Emperor Haolian was discussing matters with the ministers in the court, and most of them rejected his plan to let the Jinxiang Guards confront the Black Tiger Army that might be sent by the East. He thought that he could not destroy Ye Xiaohan's Jinxiang Guards, and that Ye Xiaohan had been putting pressure on his camp in the court recently, so he fainted in anger.

From then on, the emperor became even weaker.

Geng Wa shouldn't have disturbed the emperor at night, but the news he received was quite critical, so he had no choice but to report it in time.

The emperor was sitting on the couch with a pale face. When he heard Geng Wa's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

It really worked!

I didn't expect that Netherworld Nine would fall into his hands!

I just don't know whether Netherworld Nine is dead or alive now? Or is his life hanging by a thread and he will die soon?

...

There is a group of attics in the mountains and forests outside the city, and there is a huge palace underground.

The buildings inside were all lit with dim lights, which gave the place an eerie and dangerous feel in the darkness-shrouded underground environment.

There were hurried footsteps, someone was walking anxiously.

There was an indescribable atmosphere of oppression and urgency in the underground palace...
