The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

That night, the harem was in chaos and turmoil because the emperor, the crown prince, and the third prince were critically ill.

Imperial Physician Shi and the Imperial Hospital staff worked all night at the bedsides of these three people, while the Beihan genius doctors were pinned aside by the imperial guards and could no longer move.

The situation in the harem was not hidden from Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, but they were not anxious. Instead, they stayed quietly in the mansion, waiting.

Waiting for a result to come.

That night, Yun Mujiu's medicine room was lit for a long time.

Early the next morning, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan had just finished their breakfast when they heard the hurried report from the housekeeper Zeng.

Eunuch Li is heading to the Night Prince's Mansion with a group of imperial guards, reportedly to convey an imperial decree to the princess.

Ye Xiaohan just nodded lightly.

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Finally here."

She knew that someone in the palace would come looking for her, and this was exactly what she and Ye Xiaohan had expected.

Early in the morning, not long after the palace gates opened, Eunuch Li brought a group of imperial guards and palace maids to the Night Prince's Mansion to convey the emperor's order, following Emperor Haolian's instructions.

The servants of the Night Prince's Palace set up the incense table, and Eunuch Li and his entourage were led to the main hall by the guards. Of course, whenever someone came from the palace, they were always surrounded by a group of guards from the Night Prince's Palace, leaving them no chance to explore the palace and gather any information.

After Eunuch Li and his entourage entered the hall, the guards surrounding them dispersed.

Yun Mujiu wore a water-green moon lotus skirt with a white jade hairpin inserted diagonally. Her face was calm with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Eunuch Li turned his eyes and caught a glimpse of a stern man sitting in the main seat. He was suddenly startled and thought to himself: Why did Prince Ye appear with Princess Ye to receive the imperial edict?

However, the mission was important, so there was no time to think too much. Eunuch Li led his men to kneel down and pay their respects to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

At this time, the person who was originally blocked by several imperial guards also stood up. A tall young man in a pink robe walked out.

The seventh prince Ye Chufeng smiled gracefully and greeted Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu politely.

Ye Xiaohan put down the blue and white jade teacup and waved his hand coldly.

Eunuch Li and his group who were kneeling on the ground stood up and read the imperial edict.

After a while, he finished reading the imperial edict. In short, the content was that the fifth prince had a sudden illness and his life was in danger, so Princess Ye was invited to the palace to see the fifth prince.

Yun Mujiu acted surprised and asked what happened?

Eunuch Li looked embarrassed as he pondered how to reply to Yun Mujiu without damaging the dignity of the royal family. After all, Yun Mujiu had reminded the emperor and the prince before, but the emperor and the prince still continued to let the Beihan genius doctor treat them, which led to their own problems. Now that they were in trouble, they asked Yun Mujiu to treat others again. It was really a bit embarrassing.

Ye Chufeng directly pushed Eunuch Li aside and explained to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu in detail what had happened in the palace.

Yun Mujiu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

After thinking for a while, he whispered a few words to Ye Xiaohan, then turned to Eunuch Li and said, "Then I will go with you into the palace to take a look."

She said "let's see", instead of seriously talking about grand ambitions like "to cure diseases and save lives".

Eunuch Li's thin and sharp face moved slightly, but he quickly restrained himself.

"Princess Ye, please."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to get a medicine box first." Yun Mujiu seemed to be in a leisurely manner, and ordered Fusang to go back to Qichiyuan to get something.

Eunuch Li and his group could only continue standing, but the Seventh Prince was treated slightly differently.

The Night King raised his hand and the Seventh Prince was given a seat to enjoy tea.

Eunuch Li and the others thought to themselves: The Seventh Prince is truly extraordinary. Not only did Princess Ye heal his eyes, but Prince Ye also doesn't seem to have the same dislike for him as he does for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. With this thought, Eunuch Li and the others in the palace became even more enthusiastic and respectful towards the Seventh Prince.

Eunuch Li and his companions stood there for a long time, their hearts trembling with fear. They always felt that the Night Prince's Mansion was so oppressive and terrifying! Even though they had been to the Night Prince's Mansion before, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling every time they came. The Night Prince was like a ghost, his aura could scare people to death! The Night Prince's wife's expression was also the same as the Night Prince's, cold and ruthless, extremely terrifying!

After the eunuchs and the imperial guards broke out in cold sweats, Fusang finally appeared with a medicine box.

Yun Mujiu said: "Then let's go."

The eunuchs and the imperial guards were granted amnesty.

Ye Xiaohan stood up and said without question: "The prince and the princess will enter the palace together."

Eunuch Li and the others were shocked and tried to dissuade him, but seeing the Night King's cold and murderous aura, they had no choice but to give up the idea. They couldn't say anything. Could they really stop the Night King from entering and leaving the palace?

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu didn't even need to change into fancy clothes; they just left in their outfits. They looked so calm, as if they were going for a stroll to enjoy the flowers.

...

Inside the Lanyue Palace, a crowd gathered around the Fifth Prince's bed. Concubine Yu, deeply concerned, was supported by several concubines, offering comfort.

There were two people sitting on a soft couch not far away. One was Emperor Haolian and the other was the Crown Prince. After receiving emergency treatment at the Imperial Hospital, they had recovered somewhat and were able to walk around to visit the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince's condition was the most serious. His health had always been exceptionally weak, and he'd often be on the verge of death with a flare-up. He'd finally managed to stabilize his condition with the special medicine Yun Mujiu of Herb Hall. But now, after being prescribed multiple doses of powerful remedies by Divine Doctor Beihan, his health had collapsed.

The moment Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu walked into the hall side by side, the warm light outside the hall shone on the couple, and they exuded divine light.

Everyone turned their eyes to them, with amazement flashing across their eyes.

The Second Prince, Ye Chudi, quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look over. He felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Ye Xiaohan, fearing that he would be humiliated again.

Concubine Yu was the first one who couldn't sit still. She immediately came forward to find Yun Mujiu and begged Yun Mujiu to take action quickly to see what happened to Chu He.

At this time, the emperor and the queen also spoke.

"Xiao Han, you're here."

"Your Majesty, your humble servant." Ye Xiaohan noticed the presence of Emperor Haolian and gave a light greeting, as usual, without any need for formalities. Yun Mujiu followed suit.

After the Second Prince, the Crown Prince, the concubines, and the others had saluted the Night Prince and his wife, the Emperor stared at Yun Mujiu and asked, "Princess Ye, do you have a chance of successfully curing the Crane King?"

Yun Mujiu avoided the topic and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the situation of King He requires a detailed analysis of the specific circumstances."

The old emperor wanted her to agree to the oath that she could cure the fifth prince. Wasn't this just trying to put her and Ye Xiaohan on the fire?

If the disease cannot be cured, it will affect both the couple.

Even if she was cured, there would be no benefit, because the emperor did not even ask her to treat the disease, but directly wanted to trick her into joining in, as if it was his right to let her work for free.

Concubine Yu glanced at the Emperor, her brow furrowed in anxiety, a wave of sadness welling up in her heart. It was already this late, and the Emperor was still trying to bargain with the Ye King and his wife. His son was practically dying, yet he was still scheming? Truly a heartless Emperor!

The emperor sat upright on the couch, smiled coldly, and thought to himself that Yun Mujiu had a sharp tongue.

At this time, Ye Xiaohan took a big step forward with his long legs.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure of His Majesty the Night King...
