The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Xiang saw the emperor's relaxed expression, mustered up his courage, and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Yefu has sent our people to the Dali Temple."

Wei Song, Ye Xiaohan's capable and capable man, had already escorted the captured people and some corpses to the Dali Temple in a mighty manner.

Wei Bai and the Yefu's personal guards escorted the prisoner in a high-profile manner, which attracted a lot of onlookers from the people. Now public opinion has become boiling.

People in the capital were speculating about the motives and purposes behind Guo Xun's slander of Yun Mujiu, and were also wildly discussing Yun Mujiu's huge change.

The emperor snorted coldly, his originally upright face gradually became distorted, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"A bunch of trash, what's the use of them! Just deal with them as you wish."

Yun Xiang, Geng Wa and Zhao Guang felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, but they did not dare to show their inner emotions.

Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times.

The three of them could only be thankful that the truth was revealed today and that they were not implicated.

Yun Xiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Xun and others are completely hopeless. The mission has failed to this extent. It would be extremely difficult to help them clear their names and escape successfully.

Yun Xiang silently mourned for those who were abandoned by the emperor.

The emperor continued to ask: "How did the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple perform today?"

"The Ye Mansion sent people to report the case early, but the Dali Temple Shaoqing has not made any move." Yun Xiangru answered truthfully, and added: "Your Majesty, the Dali Temple Shaoqing has sent people to seek an audience outside, and wants to seek your advice."

The emperor didn't care about the lives of these people at all. He said impatiently, "Get him out. He has to trouble me with such a small matter."

Isn't it just trying some criminals? What's so difficult about it?

Among that group of people, except Guo Xun who had a family, the rest of the astronomical students and killers were basically orphans, so it was not a piece of cake to get rid of them.

Guo Xun and others would never rebel, otherwise their fate would be even more miserable than death.

The emperor smiled coldly and said, "Although there have been some losses in this incident, there have also been gains. This is just the beginning, there is a long way to go, let's wait and see..."

Through this fluctuation, at least we know Yun Mujiu's true character, and we also indirectly learn a little about the guard situation of the Ye Mansion - Ye Xiaohan can also send out a group of well-equipped soldiers.

In addition, Ye Xiaohan was willing to send his personal guards and soldiers for Yun Mujiu's safety, which also shows that Ye Xiaohan really cares about Yun Mujiu. Yun Mujiu must be the person Ye Xiaohan cares about.

The emperor laughed loudly. After many years, he finally found someone that Ye Xiaohan cared about.

He just didn't believe that Ye Xiaohan could still be as hard-hearted and without any weaknesses as before if he had someone he cared about.

Yun Xiang, Geng Wa and Zhao Guang were all a little confused. They could not guess the emperor's intention and could only lower their heads slightly, fearing that they would accidentally make the emperor angry.

After the emperor finished laughing, he immediately thought of other things.

"Zhao Guang, have you found any clues about the raid on the assassins' hideout?"

"Your Majesty, I led my men to track the escaped group of men in black. We found two broken bracelets in a place with mixed footprints somewhere outside the capital."

Zhao Guang swallowed quickly and continued, "After repairing the bracelet, I found that it was a bracelet style commonly used by people in Southern Thailand, with patterns of the Southern Thai ethnic minorities on it. The initial clues point to the Southern Thai people."

"Oh, the people of Nantai are so capable that they have already sneaked into our capital! Could it be that after cooperating with Nantai that day, they have been eyeing this team of death warriors of mine?"

The emperor showed dissatisfaction and ordered: "Keep investigating. This matter concerns the safety of the country and cannot be taken lightly!"

"Yes, I obey your command!" Zhao Guang responded hurriedly.

He was in charge of leading the team of assassins carefully trained by the emperor. Those assassins had only been sent out on one important mission - assassinating Ye Xiaohan on his way back to Beijing.

The emperor rubbed his temple, looking a little tired. "Prime Minister Yun, soon the second prince of Nantai, Wanyan Gu, will bring a delegation to visit our dynasty. You should be prepared in advance."

Yun Xiang nodded solemnly.

The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Ye Mansion, inside Huayang Courtyard.

Yun Mujiu stood outside Ye Xiaohan's house, watching the guards coming in and out of the house from time to time.

She took a closer look at the herbal bath water brought out by the guards.

The water was emerald green with a hint of heavy black in it, unlike the dark and turbid water that Ye Xiaohan had initially soaked in when he took the medicinal bath.

Ye Xiaohan's condition is getting better step by step, and she is getting closer to leaving the Ye Mansion.

Yun Mujiu stomped his feet on the spot, and the numbness in his legs gradually faded away.

She raised her head and looked carefully at the scene around her.

It has rarely snowed recently, and the snow accumulated on the roof has gradually begun to melt, and the crystal clear icicles that originally hung under the eaves are no longer there.

Spring is coming and everything will come back to life.

And she will slowly usher in a better life and completely bid farewell to her past identity of the cowardly and incompetent "Yun Mujiu".

During the time she stood outside, her mind wandered and she thought about many things.

Before leaving, she had a plan.

No matter what her relationship with Ye Xiaohan will be in the end, she wants to calm down and have a serious talk with Ye Xiaohan.

A concerned and gentle voice was raised not far away.

"Princess, why are you standing outside? It's cold outside, you should go inside to get warmer."

Yun Mujiu turned his head and saw that it was Butler Zeng.

Yun Mujiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's okay. I'll just stand there for a while."

Butler Zeng walked up to Yun Mujiu and nodded in greeting.

He held a tray in his hand, on which was neatly folded an ink-colored satin brocade robe.

There were two guards behind him, and there were also some clothes on the trays in their hands.

"Is this a change of clothes for the prince?"

"Yes, Doctor Wu said that the prince's medicinal bath was over, so I brought someone to get new clothes."

"Okay, then you go in first."

Butler Zeng nodded, walked a few steps to the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

My Lord, I am here to bring you some clothes."

Ye Xiaohan's usual indifferent voice came out, "Come in."

Butler Zeng pushed the door open with his guards.

Yun Mujiu did not follow him in. Firstly, she could not help Ye Xiaohan change his clothes. Secondly, Ye Xiaohan probably did not want to see her at the moment, as he had just told her to leave coldly.

After just a few breaths, Butler Zeng and the guards came out.

Yun Mujiu looked at the closed door of Ye Xiaohan's room and blurted out, "Why so fast?"

She spoke quickly but not loudly.

With such a short time, Ye Xiaohan probably hasn't had time to change his clothes. He has difficulty walking, so changing clothes will take a little longer.

Butler Zeng was startled and replied, "Princess, the prince has never allowed us to change our clothes. He doesn't like others to serve him too closely."

Now it was Yun Mujiu's turn to be stunned. She nodded stiffly and said softly, "Then you can leave first."

Butler Zeng bowed and left.

Yun Mujiu stood there in a daze, her cheeks tinged with pink.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression was a little complicated, with surprise, shyness, confusion, and a somewhat unfathomable look.

A sentence kept playing in her mind: Ye Xiaohan never lets anyone get close to help him change clothes!

It turned out that Xiao Han took off his clothes alone the night before the medicinal bath, and put on his clothes alone after the bath.

What happened that Xiao Han asked her to help him change clothes that night?
