The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu had a calm expression on her face. She was wearing a simple beige dress, and her long black hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin.

"Princess?" Wei Song's tone was a little surprised, and he nodded to Yun Mujiu.

The other guards also recognized Yun Mujiu and saluted.

Yun Mujiu nodded and smiled faintly, with a bit of gentleness in his eyes. "Thank you for your hard work."

Wu Mingwei turned around and glanced around twice before her eyes adjusted to the dim light where Yun Mujiu was.

Her pupils shrank. "It's you! You...Princess, why are you here?" Her tone was filled with surprise and dissatisfaction.

Yun Mujiu walked forward leisurely, raised his lips and sneered: "Why, Miss Wu can come to the gate of the Night Mansion in the middle of the night, can't I just take a walk around my courtyard?"

Wu Mingwei heard a hint of sarcasm in Yun Mujiu's words. She stiffened her neck and retorted, "I am concerned about the prince's medicinal materials. I am worried that any changes will delay tomorrow's treatment."

"Miss Wu, the prince's people have already checked the herbs. You suddenly came here for no reason and said you wanted to check. Could it be that you don't trust the prince's people?" Yun Mujiu looked around, "Could it be that Miss Wu thinks you are more reliable than the prince's people?"

Wei Song's face darkened, and the expressions of the others also became serious.

Wu Mingwei looked a little embarrassed, "No! I really want to make sure the herbs are correct. I..."

"That's enough!" Yun Mujiu interrupted Wu Mingwei, "Did the prince or Dr. Wu ask you to come?"

Wu Mingwei shook her head and felt guilty.

When the division of labor was drawn up today, Ye Xiaohan did not assign her any tasks. It was only when she took the initiative to stand up that she took over Yun Mujiu's job of storing the medicinal materials back into the wooden box.

She sneaked out of Chenxiangyuan. Her father was still sleeping and didn't know she was out.

"I understand your intention, thank you. These herbs will naturally be inspected and looked after by someone, you can go back now."

Yun Mujiu blocked Wu Mingwei's intention to continue persuading her, implying that Wu Mingwei had overstepped the line, her behavior was unreasonable, and even a little suspicious.

Wu Mingwei turned her head to look at Wei Song, and Wei Song also realized that Wu Mingwei's behavior seemed a little abnormal.

In a blink of an eye, he thought of Wu Mingwei's obsession with the prince, the prince's indifference towards Wu Mingwei, and then thought of how he had always been silently by Wu Mingwei's side.

At this moment, he could understand Wu Mingwei's impulsive and urgent mood.

However, the prince's safety was the most important thing. He turned his eyes away and ignored Wu Mingwei's pleading eyes.

"Miss Wu, we need to go to the warehouse to store the herbs. We can escort you back to Chenxiang Courtyard together."

He proposed a solution that could both successfully reject Wu Mingwei's request and "escort" Wu Mingwei back in a logical manner, so that Wu Mingwei would not have to run off to do something else later.

Wu Mingwei pursed her lips and could only walk down the steps given by Wei Song.

"That's fine. I have escorted the prince's herbs for a while. Otherwise, it would be bad if someone tampered with the herbs on the way to the warehouse."

Wu Mingwei secretly demonstrated her seriousness and expressed her doubts about Yun Mujiu.

Wei Song was a warrior and sometimes did not understand the girls' roundabout ways. He just understood that Wu Mingwei was very concerned about the safety of the women during the transportation of the medicinal materials.

Yun Mujiule smiled: "Miss Wu is right. But the people under the prince are very reliable, and they are more reliable than outsiders, especially those who ran out inexplicably in the middle of the night."

After all, she was still the princess of the Ye Mansion, and a legitimate person in the Ye Mansion. If we were to be careful of people, the Wu Shen Doctor and his daughter were the ones that the Ye Mansion should be most wary of.

Wei Song looked at Yun Mujiu, "Princess, do you need me to send someone to take you back to the courtyard?"

Yun Mujiu waved his hand and said calmly: "No, I'll go with you."

Wei Song seems to treat Wu Mingwei a little differently.

If she saw it correctly, the look in Wei Song's eyes when he looked at Wu Mingwei was somewhat melancholy and forbearing, with a hint of admiration.

Wei Song was a military commander, and he was not as attentive to details as girls. So, she wanted to go to the warehouse with them and keep an eye on Wu Mingwei all the way.

If Wu Mingwei was driven away directly, she might come back to bother Wei Song when she left.

Yun Mujiu chose to follow Wei Song and his group, and let Wu Mingwei stay under everyone's eyes until the herbs were safely stored in the warehouse. If Wu Mingwei wanted to do something secretly, she could also counter it.

There was a flash of dissatisfaction in Wu Mingwei's eyes. She had originally thought that she could get close to Wei Song, this rough man, on the way to see if he could let her examine her. She was eager for the prince to recover soon, but also wanted to please him.

Who knew that Yun Mujiu would also come along, making it difficult for her to achieve her wish.

Just like this, Wei Song led five men in black and walked in the front. In the middle were four guards sent by the captain of the guards, each holding a lighting lantern in their hands.

Yun Mujiu and Wu Mingwei were walking at the back. They both became quiet and silent for a moment.

Along the way, there were only the sounds of people's light and heavy footsteps coming one after another.

Yun Mujiu raised his eyes imperceptibly, glanced at Wu Mingwei, and then retracted his gaze.

Wu Mingwei's face was frosty, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were a little restless.

Yun Mujiu pondered in his mind, and carefully reviewed all the recent events, trying to find out if there was anything wrong with Doctor Wu and his daughter.

As they walked, the two of them put some distance between themselves and the team in front of them.

Wu Mingwei suddenly walked up to Yun Mujiu and stared straight at his face.

Yun Mujiu was slightly startled, and then she smelled a faint fragrance. She subconsciously held her breath.

She remembered smelling this smell on Wu Mingwei, and the doctor system had never given any warning, so it should be just the smell of ordinary spices used by women. Yun Mujiu then began to breathe normally.

Wu Mingwei took another step towards Yun Mujiu, her shoulder almost touching Yun Mujiu.

She said in a very low voice: "Princess Ye, can we talk?"

Yun Mujiu quietly moved half a step to the side. She was not used to walking too close to others. She glanced at Wu Mingwei and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Mingwei looked ahead and said calmly, "I will stay in Ye Mansion after the prince recovers."

"Really? You want to stay and be the court doctor?" Yun Mujiu asked deliberately.

"No!" Wu Mingwei was slightly angry.

Then, she said with a somewhat proud tone: "I will stay in Ye Mansion and be with the prince."

Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows. Ye Xiaohan was very cold towards Wu Mingwei and the two of them rarely spoke to each other.

Although Ye Xiaohan has been very caring towards her recently, he has never clearly expressed his feelings. She couldn't guess what Ye Xiaohan was thinking. The matter of the palace doctor treating Ye Chufeng had already triggered Ye Xiaohan's taboo, so now he could only concentrate on preparing the herbal bath.

"So you're notifying me in advance? Notifying me that you, like me, are the mistress of the Night Mansion?"

Wu Mingwei raised the corner of her lips and sneered: "You can't stay. I just told you in advance to pack up your things and prepare to leave Ye Mansion."
