The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the morning at the Night King's Palace, the Night King held a series of small meetings with his subordinates to discuss the many issues facing the palace recently.

At the same time, discussions of all sizes were taking place during the morning court session.

The emperor was angry that the case of the headless corpse at the city gate had not been properly resolved. They knew that the corpse at the city gate, the destruction of the team in the suburbs, and the pile of corpses at the Dali Temple were all caused by the Netherworld Nineth Layer. However, not only could they not produce any substantial evidence, but they were also all afraid and did not dare to provoke the Netherworld Nineth Layer again.

The court was in a panic, and the emperor endured the discomfort and listened to the people below arguing. Suddenly he thought of his usual lackey, Yun Boliang, but in the blink of an eye he threw away the thought of the useless left prime minister with disgust.

In addition to the retaliation by the Nine Netherworlds, the Emperor and others also expressed suspicion that the Night King might have taken action.

However, no one gave their specific response.

The people of the Night King's faction were indifferent, as if they knew nothing. They were always calm and composed, just like the Regent who always treated people with a cold face.

King Di and his faction remained silent. They could not afford to offend either the Night King or the Underworld Lord. So King Di's faction, like most people, chose to play dumb. They could neither provide better advice to the emperor nor take action to help the emperor solve his problems. Among them, the Fifth Prince Ye Chuhe's faction also maintained their previous attitude of escaping the world.

The emperor was extremely anxious, thinking in his mind: the spies could not find out the latest developments of the Night King, and he could not inquire about the news under the pretext of issuing an edict to the Night King's Palace. Moreover, he did not dare to directly confront the Night King's Palace because he was concerned about the Night King's ability.

After thinking it over, the emperor fell into endless distress and panic.

As expected by the Night King, under his step-by-step strategy, Emperor Haolian gradually reached the point of physical and mental collapse, and his psychological defenses collapsed early. At present, Emperor Haolian's physical condition is not much better than that of the Night King who was ambushed when he returned to the capital. It can even be said that Emperor Haolian's weak and old bones are now in a much worse condition than the Night King who was once at a low point.

When the slightly chaotic morning court was over, the emperor pinched his temples with a headache. After returning to the imperial study, he heard that the seventh prince wanted to see him with soup.

His expression was a little complicated, but he finally asked someone to invite the Seventh Prince into the palace.

Last time, Ye Chufeng appeared in front of the emperor under the two pretexts of visiting the emperor and sharing the emperor's worries, and the same was true this time.

When the emperor saw Ye Chufeng's clumsy concern, he also thought of the musician who died tragically in the harem at a young age. When he thought of his sons' disappointing appearance, he couldn't help but have a strange feeling towards the straightforward and clumsy Ye Chufeng in front of him. But at that time, he still didn't want to pay attention to Ye Chufeng.

It's not that no one wanted to inquire about his health, but he kept it secret. He chose to evade the Queen and the Crown Prince's inquiries. In response to the implicit concern from Concubine Yu Ye Chuhe, he comforted her and said he was fine. In response to the obvious investigation from Concubine Liang Ye Chudi, he directly refused to meet her in private.

Right now, for the dandy and worldly-wise Ye Chufeng, things were a little different.

After Ye Chufeng bowed and greeted the emperor, he looked at the steaming soup on the table.

He tapped the table and said calmly, "You are thoughtful."

Ye Chufeng immediately smiled and said, "As long as your Majesty likes it." He bent down and said, "I heard that your Majesty is troubled by state affairs and was worried about your health. That's why I looked through medical books and found a suitable recipe for medicinal food. I asked the chef in the Imperial Study to guide me to make a soup."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the beautiful musician who once washed his hands and made soup for him, but he hardly paid any attention to her.

He looked at Ye Chufeng and felt that his son had become more mature than before. He thought that people would always change, even if they just became a little more intelligent.

The heart of an emperor has always been cruel and ruthless. When he sees someone trying to curry favor with him, he doesn't think too much about why the other person has suddenly changed. Instead, he first develops a sense of pride and contempt, feels arrogant, and casually points fingers at the people and things in front of him.

"Hmm. Not bad." The emperor commented casually.

He stared at Ye Chufeng, who was dressed in red, with a hint of nervousness and solemnity in his evil eyes.

At this moment, the emperor remembered that he had ordered Ye Chufeng to go to the Ye Palace a few months ago to inquire about the health of the Ye King and his wife. At that time, Ye Chufeng had reluctantly completed the task.

After a brief period of silence.

This time the emperor relented and said calmly: "Chu Feng, if I have something to do, I will summon you."

Ye Chufeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Father. I will definitely help you solve your problems."

His tone was full of excitement. He didn't sound like a mature and steady prince, but more like a naive and reckless child.

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a calculating smile.

That’s right, even though the Seventh Prince has caught the eye of Emperor Haolian, he is not thinking about how to value and teach this son, but is still thinking about how to make use of this useless prince who should have died tragically in the womb.

He thought: There must be some value in it, right? Ye Chufeng is just one life, and his mission is to toss him around.

After Ye Chufeng exited the imperial study, he walked out with a swagger, causing the eunuchs and imperial guards at the door of the imperial study to look at him with contempt.

Little did they know that all of Ye Chufeng's reckless and rude behavior in front of others was intentional on his part.

He had been in silence for a long time, and now his eyes were completely healed, it was time for him to show up. He, Ye Chufeng, wanted to stand up openly, protect the people he wanted to protect, and achieve his own grand ambitions.

...

At the Night Prince's Mansion, before noon, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan took a carriage and left from the back door of the Night Prince's Mansion.

In the car, the two looked at each other. Yun Mujiu always felt that he hadn't seen Ye Xiaohan for a few days, and he felt a little shy when he saw Ye Xiaohan alone again, as if he had changed his partner and was a little immature when getting along with him.

Yun Mujiu put aside the random thoughts in his mind and asked with a smile: "We are going out for fun today, is Your Majesty happy?"

The girl asked bluntly. You have to know that the man opposite her never reveals his emotions easily, let alone says anything related to his emotions.

But at this moment, the man opposite said seriously: "Happy."

"I promised Mumu that I would accompany her out more often in the future. I'm sorry that I've been busy lately."

Yun Muji waved his hand and said calmly: "Oh, it's nothing serious. I've been busy with the shop recently. When we have more free time in the future, we can go out more often, not only out of the capital, but also to other places farther away."

Ye Xiaohan's black pupils moved slightly, and he nodded: "Xuewo County, Jiangnan, the southern border, and even the Eastern Empire, I will take you there."

Yun Mujiu blinked and joked, "East Asia is not our territory. Can we come back if we go there?"

Ye Xiaohan was amused by her joke, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "With this king here, I can naturally bring you back safely."

Yun Mujiu clapped his hands and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is really amazing?"

Ye Xiaohan suddenly asked: "Does Mu Mu like Japan? Maybe if Mu Mu wants, she can stay there."

Yun Mujiu said in a depressed tone: "Doesn't that mean I will be detained there?"

Apart from being imprisoned or sent to jail, she couldn't think of any way to stay in the tightly guarded Oriental Empire.
