The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the afternoon, Ye Xiaohan summoned several of his subordinates to the conference room to discuss matters.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu sat in the main seats, while Wei Bai, Du Ziheng, and several personal guard leaders sat below.

The invitations to the birthday banquet sent out by the Grand Princess's residence invited many members of the royal family, aristocratic families, and noble families. Previously, Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Cao wanted to arrange a wedding for two servants in the mansion, Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou, and they had slipped away several times.

However, everyone was watching Gao Yang's family with a good show, so they didn't pay much attention to the Grand Princess's successive "destroying banquets". So this time, almost everyone accepted the invitation.

Besides, Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou did get married, didn't they? Although they didn't see this good show with their own eyes, at least the show ended successfully. They had already satisfied their addiction to gossip just by listening to the news that spread out.

In addition, Zhongyue was full of rumors about major events that happened one after another, such as the Night Princess clearing up the slander of the Caoyuan Hall and the Night Palace by Qian Dali Temple Shaoqing in public, the Night Prince cleaning up a group of useless officials, mainly the former Dali Temple Shaoqing, for the sake of the country and the people, and Lord Youming cleaning up the death squads of Nantai and the Dongyang Empire...

Recently, Zhongyue is facing the dual national border security issues of Xiyi and Dongyang, the Night King camp is showing a rising trend in the court, and His Royal Highness the Night King and Lord Youming are fighting against their enemies...

With so many important things to do, who has the time to care about what Princess Gaoyang is going to do in her own mansion?

For this reason, everyone's "extreme concern" for the affairs of the Grand Princess's residence, which was mixed with curiosity and ridicule, naturally slowly declined.

Now they received the cordial invitation from Princess Gaoyang, and most of them accepted it and said they would go.

Firstly, they were curious about the current situation of Princess Gaoyang's family and Wu Mingwei Wang Gou. Secondly, Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Cao's family had not been completely defeated, so they had to be careful. Of course, they would not tear their faces apart or openly say that they had fallen out with them and would not go. Thirdly, the Cao family had a good reputation in Zhongyue. Out of respect for Madam Cao, everyone would come to celebrate her birthday.

For the Night King's Mansion, ordinary invitations usually have to be screened by Butler Zeng and Wei Bai first, and then the selected invitations will be presented to the Night King and the Night Queen.

Ye Xiaohan did not announce to the public that the Ye Palace would attend the birthday banquet, and the outside world did not know what he and Yun Mujiu thought of the so-called banquet.

In the meeting room, each person has a small square pearwood table next to him, and on the table is placed tea with a faint fragrance.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu didn't need to discuss it at all, they all decided to attend the banquet tacitly. As for the significance of attending the banquet, of course it still has its uniqueness. Some of the hidden thunder spots are dirty, and there must be a final one-time solution.

Yun Mujiu held a sky-blue glazed teacup and said calmly, "Speaking of which, Princess Gaoyang wanted to make some noise before leaving Beijing, but unexpectedly there were many accidents, and it has been delayed until now before there is a chance to hold another banquet."

"That's right." Wei Bai happily replied, he was very good at this kind of gossip. He smiled and said, "Even if it's just a little thing in her house, it's more interesting than the waves that the prince and princess have caused in the capital." Who wouldn't pay attention to the words and deeds of the prince and princess, this perfect couple, and the major events they have done?

A personal guard replied, "Besides, there have been many state affairs in the past few months. Princess Gaoyang naturally couldn't find a suitable opportunity to hold a banquet to do something bad."

Let alone anything else, Ye Xiaohan had discovered that an unknown team of spies from Nantai and Dongyang were lurking in Zhongyue territory. The eastern and western borders of Zhongyue were facing a border crisis. These two major national events were imminent and extremely serious. Who among the royal family would dare to hold a banquet that was not necessary and was meant to be a place for people to gather and have fun?

Don’t you want your face, reputation, or even your own head anymore?

Yun Mujiu agreed with everyone's words, put down the azure-glazed teacup and said, "To be honest, I forced the emperor to issue the imperial decree to grant the marriage on the spot in the beginning. Later, Wu Mingwei had to be punished in prison for a period of time, and then Princess Gaoyang deliberately wanted to delay the wedding banquet until she was about to leave Beijing before reporting it. Later, she found some information from me and was no longer in a hurry to urge Princess Gaoyang to do it. Under the influence of multiple practical factors, a banquet was invisibly postponed." Regardless of whether it is a wedding banquet or any other banquet, the important thing is that Princess Gaoyang will definitely hold a banquet with ulterior motives.

A guard leader looked over here and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, Princess, what special information did you find?"

Yun Mujiu took a look and felt that the other person looked unfamiliar. He might be a personal guard who had just been transferred back to the palace.

She smiled and patiently explained, "One reason was that the Beihan team had not arrived yet. I originally planned to have the followers of Doctor Wu show up at Gaoyang Mansion after they arrived in the capital, and then have them recognize each other, so that they can see clearly what a bad reputation Doctor Wu and his daughter have in Zhongyue."

He sighed softly and said calmly, "But I didn't expect them to be so useless. Even if the prince only sent a small number of people to intercept their steps to the capital, they themselves are useless and have not been able to catch up with the itinerary for a long time, and have never arrived in the capital."

The strange-looking guard who asked the question showed a look of understanding, "I understand."

Yun Mujiu tilted his head and met Ye Xiaohan's eyes, then continued to add to the guard: "The second reason for delaying Princess Gaoyang's banquet is that the prince and I have found out that Divine Doctor Wu is not just a divine doctor with a corrupt heart."

"The complicated thing is that he carries a mysterious dark force with him..."

It’s not that one person is complex, but the group of people behind this person are complex.

Ye Xiaohan took the opportunity to pick up on Yun Mujiu's words and continued, "So, not only do we have to wait for the Beihan followers to arrive in the capital, we also have to wait for the dark forces to arrive in the capital, and then we can investigate and eliminate them all at once."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your explanation. I understand." The guard said respectfully, with understanding and admiration in his eagle eyes.

Du Ziheng had been silently tasting the best Biluochun tea. He drank the last sip of tea slowly, turned his head, and asked eagerly, "So, has that unknown dark force arrived in the capital now?"

"We're here." Ye Xiaohan said lightly.

"Then why has there been no movement?" Du Ziheng was a little puzzled.

"Because it is an unknown force, a dark force. Of course there won't be any obvious actions." Wei Bai complained mercilessly, making Du Ziheng embarrassed. It seemed that it was true. He was simply asking nonsense.

Yun Mujiu burst out laughing, thinking that the jokes these two brothers told were really funny. Then he glanced at the man next to him and saw that he had a cold face.

She thought to herself: Ye Xiaohan seems to have a high sense of humor, no wonder he is called the "Cold-Faced Prince"!
