The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu did not reveal his true face, but his tone was very firm.

She sat gracefully on a chair in the lobby provided for customers to rest, without even picking up the steaming teacup on the square table in front of her.

She would not drink the tea Mu Xi offered. First, she was not thirsty. Second, she came to discuss business, so there was no need to sit around and drink tea. Third, she was not so careless as to drink food given by others in public.

The young man was still very stunned. He didn't expect that another distinguished guest would come to visit during the absence of the steward Lu. Moreover, the distinguished guest specifically asked to see the most senior steward in the pavilion.

The waiter bowed and said frankly but shyly, "Miss, our steward Lu is not in the pavilion today. I don't know when he will be back. How about I ask the deputy steward to come?"

Yun Mujiu paused, and was somewhat surprised that Manager Lu was not in the attic. Netherworld Jiuchong asked Manager Lu to manage the attic of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion, but Manager Lu was not in the attic at the moment.

Yun Mujiu picked up the teacup and deliberately said in a surprised tone: "Oh? Could it be that I came at an unlucky time? Your housekeeper happened to be busy with something."

The waiter smiled apologetically and said, "Manager Lu was here a few days ago." This was the truth, and there was no need for the waiter to hide it from the big client.

However, he was still reserved in his words, saying, "Manager Lu has a mission to complete, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while." The young lady had no intention of meeting the deputy manager, and silently rejected his proposal to ask other managers to come forward. He had no choice but to explain to the young lady that the specific decision had to be made by the young lady herself.

Yun Mujiu nodded slightly, "I see."

She began to think more deeply about the waiter's casual words "I have a mission". Was he on a mission, or was he using the excuse of the mission to do some private things?

It just so happened that the Netherworld Nineth Layer had caused quite a stir in and outside the capital these days. Perhaps, Manager Lu was busy with matters related to the Netherworld Nineth Layer?

Yun Mujiu put down the teacup and did not drink the tea in it. The hot steam was still floating out, and it seemed to be hot to outsiders. It was normal for Yun Mujiu not to drink it for the time being.

Yun Mujiu said to the guy, "I understand. But I'm here to make some hidden weapons. I'll provide the blueprints, and I'll ask your manager to supervise the making process for me. As for the silver? I'm not short of it."

The waiter understood and his eyes lit up again. "Excuse me, what is your name, young lady?"

"Vine." Yun Mujiu said.

"Okay, Miss Teng, when our steward comes back, do you need me to send someone to inform you?"

"No need. I'll come again in a few days, thank you." Yun Mujiu waved his hand and stood up to say goodbye. Fusang took Yun Mujiu's signal and stuffed a piece of silver into the boy's hand, saying that he would treat the boy to a cup of tea.

The waiters in the restaurant occasionally received tips from customers, but this was a rare occasion when the customer gave the waiter a tip in advance before the waiter had even finished serving the customer. Moreover, the customer did not specify what he wanted the waiter to do, so the waiter was happy to accept it.

He hurriedly saw the distinguished guests off, and Yun Mujiu also chatted with them for a while.

When the waiter saw Miss Teng and the others walking away, he turned back and went into the inner hall to ask to see the two deputy stewards.

Since Steward Lu was not in the hall, all major events within the Mushi were temporarily handled by the two deputy stewards.

The waiter told the deputy stewards about the encounter with a generous guest. The three of them thought about it and decided to write about it in the report letter to Steward Lu. Firstly, when Steward Lu reported the normal business situation of Mu Xi, he mentioned the case of Miss Teng. Secondly, maybe Miss Teng was a rare guest, so he had to remind Steward Lu to come back quickly so that he could deal with a series of matters in the hall.

Yun Mujiu walked out of the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion and stopped when he came to a deserted corner.

Fuso asked, "Why did you change your last name, young lady?"

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Before many people didn't know who the owner of Herb Hall was, I often used the two surnames 'Mu' and 'Mu'. Now some people have heard of these two surnames, and we are facing people from the top assassin organization Mu Shi, so naturally I have to come up with a new identity."

Fusang nodded: "With a new identity, they won't think of your real identity as Miss Yun just based on your surname."

When Yun Mujiu heard the title "Miss Yun", a hint of novelty flashed in her eyes. In her previous life, she was given the surname "Yun" by the people in the orphanage, but no one had ever called her "Miss Yun". She was more often called "Doctor Yun".

Suixi asked, "Miss, what do you want to find out by meeting Steward Lu?"

"Find out about Mu Xi and Ming Jun. They have been making a lot of noise recently, so we need to pay more attention to them. If there is a conflict between the palace and Mu Xi in the future, we can know more about ourselves and the enemy." Yun Mujiu didn't say the rest of the words. She wanted to investigate the Netherworld Nine Layers and Mu Xi Jiuyou Pavilion for her own selfish reasons...

Yun Mujiu glanced at the street with few pedestrians and said, "At the same time, I am also thinking about whether I can find out any clues about the whereabouts of Netherworld Nineth Layer from Mu Shiren, especially Lu Zheng."

"But now it seems that this plan will not work."

Yun Mujiu left the vicinity of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion and saw many groups of people running in the same direction.

Yun Mujiu knew that they all wanted to go to the garden, but she didn’t have the heart to go there for the time being.

She returned the same way she came, and when she passed by the Herb Hall she did not go in, but got in the car and went straight back to the Night King's Palace.

On the way, she heard Fusang say that Ling Xingmu still went to the herbal hall to get medicine on time, and immediately thought of the embarrassing situation that Ling Xingmu was facing being captured by Ling Chiye and taken back to the Northern Territory.

She shook her head helplessly. Ling Xingmu didn't want to look for her, so she wouldn't bother him for no reason. But if Ling Xingmu asked her and Ye Xiaohan for help, they would also consider giving Ling Xingmu a hand.

As the carriage slowly drove back to the Night King's Mansion, Fusang mentioned that Princess Ji Ling had been staying in the mansion for some time, and except for the last time she met with Bai Yanshuang and others, she rarely went out.

Yun Mujiu wondered if Ji Ling had something to say. She thought of something and said to Fusang, "When you return home, send someone to pass a message to Ji Ling, saying that based on the clues I have learned, the emperor will not agree to the request of Prince Nantai to marry Princess Zhongyue. Let her be at ease and don't think too much."

Neither Wanyan Gu nor Wanyan Sen would have the chance to marry Princess Ji Ling. Yun Mujiu sent someone to inform Princess Ji Ling because he was afraid that Ji Ling would be too worried about the social gathering to dare to go out.

As dusk fell, Princess Ji Ling received the message sent by Yun Mujiu.

When night fell, Yun Mujiu heard that Wei Song and Du Ziheng had returned, but they were staying in their respective mansions, while Wei Bai also returned to his own mansion.

Both Wei Song and Du Ziheng's subordinates have returned, but Ye Xiaohan has not returned yet.

In the past few days, Yun Mujiu's body aches after waking up every day have disappeared a lot. She suspected that the pills given by Ye Xiaohan had taken effect, and the medicinal bath recipe jointly prescribed for her by Du Ziheng and Doctor Fu also had some effect.

Looking at the dark sky, she thought of herself being busy dealing with and checking various things, and suddenly she felt tired.

So, Your Majesty, when will you come home?
