The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu and said firmly, "No matter what his intentions are, I will never allow him to remember you."

He stretched out his big hand and pinched Yun Mujiu's cheek. Yun Mujiu was unable to speak and did not notice the murderous look that flashed across Ye Xiaohan's eyes.

Wei Bai saw that Ye Xiaohan hadn't mentioned anything about "killing Prince Di" again, and his heart was in turmoil. Honestly, at this moment, he couldn't figure out what the prince was thinking about the Third Prince. Did he want to kill him immediately, or torture him slowly?

Ye Xiaohan put away his sword and returned to the house, where he had breakfast with Yun Mujiu in the main hall of Huayang Courtyard.

When Xiao Han made a rare appearance at the morning court two nights ago, Yun Mujiu later heard what he did in the court. He simply showed off his safe and sound appearance and high spirits, and angered the Emperor, Prince Di and his gang, scaring them into being quite timid and becoming more honest.

Yun Mujiu also knew that Ye Xiaohan chose to stay in the capital for the time being instead of taking over the task of stationing troops at the border from the two marquises. If a war really broke out in the future, he would set off for the front line and would also bring back the Jinxiang Guards safely and intact.

But what she didn't know was that there was something else happening in the court that she was unaware of.

Fortunately, some news from outside still reached her ears.

Yun Mujiu finished a bowl of yam, poria and beef porridge, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Ye Xiaohan eagerly.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you haven't told me? I've heard some rumors among the people."

Ye Xiaohan put down the white jade chopsticks, with a hint of confusion between his brows.

Yun Mujiu said, "Some people outside are saying that you and the Emperor almost had a falling out over something, and the situation was tense for a while."

Ye Xiaohan thought for a moment and said, "He wants to place someone beside me."

"Beauty trap." Yun Mujiu said, holding his cheek.

"Death trap." Ye Xiaohan's eyes were slightly cold, "You are the only one who can be by my side."

"I know." Yun Mujiu curled his lips, "It's not something that can't be said that the emperor wants to arrange some women for the prince. Anyway, I know that the prince will not accept it."

"I asked the prince about this, not because I was imagining something, or because I wanted to confirm something with him. I just wanted to tell him that if the emperor wanted to arrange a concubine for you, you could tell me. There's no need to keep silent because of worry. I certainly wouldn't let the emperor's suggestion lead to any unfounded thoughts, and it wouldn't affect our relationship."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Xiaohan said with understanding.

He recalled an in-depth conversation he had with Yun Mujiu before. At that time, Yun Mujiu jokingly asked him if he had ever had a concubine. He firmly denied it and said that he had had women who were sent to him by the emperor and his ministers, but he had asked people to deal with them.

Ye Xiaohan picked up the white jade chopsticks and picked up a piece of lotus cake for Yun Mujiu.

"You are enough as the only woman by my side."

"Hmm." Yun Mujiu said with a bulging mouth, not yet swallowing the pastry in his mouth.

"Even for a concubine, it's enough to have only one princess."

Yun Mujiu almost choked to death. Ye Xiaohan was teasing her. He even said that she was his concubine and bed warmer!

Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu's embarrassed pink cheeks and smiled. His princess was really a simple and playful girl.

...

In fact, in addition to the rumors circulating in the outside world that Ye Wang Chao almost clashed with Emperor Haolian in the court, and firmly claimed that "Yun Mujiu is the only princess, wife and lover in this life", there was also a more widespread wave of news.

The latest news about Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu has spread from the capital, and will soon reach the four countries of Beihan, Xiyi, Nantai, and Dongyang.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's popularity has increased, and people like Haolian Di are naturally unhappy about it, but there are some people who are secretly very happy.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen sat on the soft couch in the outer room, drinking a bowl of blood swallows with a leisurely look on her face.

She waved her hand, and the eunuch who had just reported the news stepped aside.

She smiled, her red lips curled. "Very good. Yun Mujiu's wonderful performance after marrying Queen Ye had already spread to the other four kingdoms. She's still performing so well now. Such a remarkable woman will naturally attract even more attention."

Nanny Pei said happily, "This way, Princess Ye will be widely noticed, and Your Majesty will be able to complete the task entrusted to you sooner."

The Queen sneered, "I hope so. I can't wait to get my reward, and I also look forward to the day when I meet that mysterious man."

Putting down the bowl of blood swallows, he said coldly: "I want to see who that person is, and find out why he is so concerned about Yun Mujiu..."

At this time, a palace maid came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to visit the Queen.

The queen waved her hand and had the prince sent away.

This was not the first time that the prince was refused entry to the palace by the queen. This time, the queen had a suitable excuse to persuade the prince to leave, saying that he was tired and needed to rest.

The prince didn't think much about it and could only turn around and leave the palace obediently.

What he didn't know was that his whereabouts were also under the surveillance of several spies.

It didn't take long for the people in the Night Palace to know that the prince wanted to see the queen but was refused.

Yun Mujiu pondered and came to a conclusion: "The relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince is not as harmonious and beautiful as it seems."

Why do you say this?

Because judging from the Crown Prince's recovery, the Queen didn't seem to care much about his health. The Queen did care about the Crown Prince, but the weight of her care was not like that of a normal mother who loves her child.

In the past few days, the Queen went to look for Master Du and his group, and asked the Divine Doctor Beihan to see the Crown Prince, but she herself has never left the palace to visit the Crown Prince. Her attitude towards the Crown Prince at the birthday banquet was also indifferent, and now she is refusing the Crown Prince's visit. It can be seen that her attitude towards the Crown Prince is not as loving as she seems.

Yun Mujiu stood by the window covered with wisteria flowers. Warm light filtered through the thin green gauze curtains. The wind blew, and the green curtains swayed.

A thought flashed through my mind, and a fantastic idea came to my mind.

"Have it!"

"Hmm?" Ye Xiaohan's gaze shifted from the military book in his hand to the person by the window.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that the Queen and the Crown Prince are not biological mother and son!"

"Boom!" Except for her and Ye Xiaohan, everyone else in the room looked stunned.

Housekeeper Zeng was stunned and coughed violently. Wei Bai slipped and nearly fell to his death. Du Ziheng's eyes widened, and he almost squeezed the juice out of the herb in his hand.

Yun Mujiu continued, "Thinking carefully about the Queen's behavior and attitude towards the Crown Prince, isn't there something a little strange about it?"
