The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the bright study, Ye Xiaohan looked at the few black-clad Hanying Guards and said calmly, "The unknown forces that followed the king and the princess are from the mysterious forces of Beihan."

"Your Highness, yes." A Cold Shadow Guard lowered his head and continued, "And our subordinates have also found out that when the Cao family held a birthday banquet that day, those forces were paying particularly close attention to everything that happened at the banquet."

Ye Xiaohan frowned slightly and ordered, "Keep watching them and find out their origins, whereabouts, and motives."

Several Frost Shadow Guards responded. Yun Mujiu, who was sitting next to Ye Xiaohan, asked, "Your Highness suspects they are following us. They want to get information about us and learn more about Divine Doctor Wu of Beihan, and even some key information about Beihan as a nation."

Ye Xiaohan hummed, and further explained to Yun Mujiu and the others, "Whether it's the hidden bad medical practices within the Beihan Divine Doctor Circle concerning Divine Doctor Wu, or the sudden downfall of Beihan medical families like the Leng family, or the border unrest that affects the safety of nations, or the spiritual vein issue that is of particular concern to the five nations of the Xingyue Continent. Each of these major events affects many..."

At present, those in the open do not know much about the specific situation and specific motives of the forces in the dark. They only know that it is very involved and the roots are very deep.

Yun Mujiu nodded heavily and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. We'll investigate slowly. Even if it's an unknown force from Beihan, so what? Once we get to the bottom of it, we can arrest them directly."

After the Cold Shadow Guards left, Yun Mujiu sat in the study for a while. Ever since she'd teased Ye Xiaohan a few days ago by inviting him to stay the night, only to be provoked by him, the final result...

Of course, Yun Mujiu, with a shy heart, peacefully shared a bed with His Majesty the Night King. However, after that night, Ye Xiaohan no longer slept with Yun Mujiu. Of course, Yun Mujiu didn't ask him, let alone invite him.

At the same time, Yun Mujiu's body aches caused by her improper sleeping posture also disappeared. Of course, this was because of the miraculous healing hands of His Majesty the Night King, who gave her a caring massage.

Yun Mujiu stood up and stared at Ye Xiaohan who was reading a military book.

"It's late at night, Your Majesty should go to bed early."

"Yes." Ye Xiaohan put down the book, stood up and walked towards Yun Mujiu. "I'll take Mumu back to the yard."

Ye Xiaohan really sent Yun Mujiu back to Qichiyuan, but he did not stay, but returned to Huayangyuan.

Housekeeper Zeng and Chunlan's servants in Qichiyuan sighed secretly: Oh, why don't the prince and princess spend more time together to cultivate a deeper relationship!

What no one knew was that after Ye Xiaohan returned to his bedroom alone, his fair and handsome face froze, and his face seemed to turn a paler tone, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Ye Xiaohan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the half-open carved window coffin, his thoughts suddenly drifting back to that night.

Youming Jiuchong, dressed in red, rode a steed and sped along the winding mountain road shrouded in a gray sky.

As a wheel of fire fell into the distance among the western mountains, a man's body was also falling downhill.

The night wind rustled, blowing a curtain of gauze in front of the window.

Ye Xiaohan's thin lips turned slightly pale, and his eyes were extremely calm as he said, "I know my physical condition well, so I won't worry you."

How could he bear to let that little girl frown for him? So even when he was feeling unwell, he endured it silently and never let the girl know...

The wind blew up the curtains. Yun Mujiu, wearing a snow-white nightgown, walked to the wide-open window and closed the carved window with a wooden latch.

When he lay back on the bed, he stared at the silvery ceiling and placed his hand on his heart.

For some reason, a faint sense of unease has been inevitably rising from the depths of my heart lately, and my heart is inexplicably a little uneasy.

And she couldn't tell why.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he thought of Netherworld Nine Layers, who was a completely different person when he fell ill. Closing his eyes, the image of Ye Xiaohan flashed through his mind, and his mind was filled with various images of Ye Xiaohan.

Xiaoxiao has been fine, so why does she keep thinking about Xiaoxiao lately?

...

Following the Night King's recent frequent and high-profile appearances, major killer organizations and factions have reacted accordingly in addition to being shocked.

They were just as shocked as Haolian Di. They had never expected that the confirmed news of the Night King's recovery would suddenly spread out - instead of the false rumor that "The Night King had recovered a long time ago..."

No one would have thought that for several months, no one had been able to find out the details of the Night King. No one would have thought that the Night King had already recovered and had done many great things both openly and secretly, controlling and manipulating the situations of all sizes in the capital, Zhongyue, and various countries!

In the past few days, the news that the Night King had returned to the top was like a huge rock falling into a calm sea, causing waves to spread rapidly outward.

The people of Biluo Blood Killing no longer needed to investigate whether the Night King had recovered. After all, the fact that the Night King was safe was right in front of them. Alarm bells were ringing throughout Biluo.

The much-thinner Envoy Xue first anxiously and hurriedly delivered the news of the Night King to the Eastern Empire, and then sent a message to the Biluo branch in the Eastern and Western Realms. The people there were still waiting to see if the Night King was healthy and if his resurgence was true.

The Soul-Snatching Yuanxi's men were also surprised. Like the Blue Sky Blood Killer, they first heard rumors of Ye Xiaohan's recovery spread throughout the capital, then received inquiries from the branch organization, and finally saw the Night King standing before them, unharmed and majestic. Each and every one of them was shocked, almost charred from the shock.

In fact, on the day of the birthday banquet, many people gathered at the gate of the princess's mansion. Spies from various families, factions, and organizations also crowded among the onlookers, trying to gather information.

Pavilion Master Qian hid in the crowd and saw from afar the handsome and graceful Night King and the beautiful Yun Mujiu, the stunning scene of the perfect couple appearing hand in hand in front of everyone.

After returning, Pavilion Master Qian kept asking people to find out what happened at the birthday party.

Later, when Ye Xiaohan attended the morning court, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan went to visit Duke Meng at his residence and watched the Cao family leave the capital. Pavilion Master Qian had been paying attention to and inquiring about this news.

He smiled faintly, with an indescribable hidden emotion on his handsome face.

"Zhongyue Yewang, you are truly capable."

As for Yun Mujiu? That extraordinary woman was no ordinary person either.

At this time, Pavilion Master Qian had a suspicion that the reason he had not been able to find out any news about the Night King and his wife recently was perhaps because the two of them had already noticed it and had been on guard and counterattacked him early on?
