The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu left the pharmacy, took a basket of snacks, and turned to go to a villa.

In the large courtyard with green leaves and colorful flowers, Taotao was watching Suixi flying a kite on the lawn, his little face flushed with excitement.

Yun Mujiu placed the snacks on the stone table in the yard, and Taotao and Suixi came over immediately.

Yun Mujiu gave Taotao some snacks and asked Taotao to sit aside with a plate of candied date cakes.

Only after Taotao left did she start talking to Suixi.

"Suixi, if we really found Taotao's family, would you be willing to let him go?"

Suixi was stunned, but quickly responded. "If Taotao still has family members alive, and they truly care about her, I hope she can live with them. Perhaps she'll be happier that way."

Yun Mujiu glanced at Suixi's determined expression and said no more.

In the past few months, they have been investigating Taotao's life experience, but the clues are limited, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

From the investigation of the yamen alone, there were no reports of missing children who met Taotao's specific requirements. They searched through the missing children files of yamen in and around the capital, but there was no evidence that anyone was looking for a child who met Taotao's specific requirements.

Two years ago, a child, approximately two years old, was abandoned in an alley on the outskirts of Beijing. Beyond this, the child possessed no other distinguishing features, such as birthmarks or scars, nor any identifying items like jade pendants, bracelets, or anklets. When Suixi discovered Taotao in the alley, all she knew was that she was a small child wrapped in a torn blanket. Her uncontrollable cries were a source of pity.

In the past few months, Yun Mujiu not only failed to find any more useful clues from the government office, but the force she built up also did not yield any more results in the investigation.

In addition, in the past two months, many officials in the court have fallen from power one after another, such as Xu Houshan, the former Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. After Xu Houshan's resignation, people discovered a batch of files that had been carelessly hidden by Xu Houshan's group of incompetent officials.

At that time, Yun Mujiu also sent people to check this batch of files that had reappeared in the world, thinking that there might be files about Taotao that they had not seen yet.

Unfortunately, there was still no result.

The crisp laughter of children came to his ears. Yun Mujiu looked up and saw Taotao playing with Fusang.

She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The Night Prince's Mansion can afford it anyway. It's good for Taotao to stay in the mansion and be happy."

It's just a child, just raise him.

Taotao ran over, and Baba asked, "Sister Princess, are you getting ready to attend the banquet again?"

"Yes, after I finish attending the Moon Festival Palace Banquet, we will come back and celebrate the Moon Festival together."

Tao Tao looked up and asked, "Sister Princess, can Tao Tao go and take a look too?"

Suixi immediately stopped him: "Taotao, stop talking nonsense and causing trouble for the princess."

Tao Tao was very sensible and actually knew the limits. She smiled and said, "If it's not too much trouble, can you take Tao Tao to see it too?"

Yun Mujiu thought for a moment and said softly, "It's not that I don't want you to go, but there are so many people in the palace and so many dangers."

He held his chin with one hand and added, "But it's not impossible. I'll have someone take good care of Tao Tao."

"That's great!" Taotao jumped for joy.

Suixi was puzzled. Normally, the child couldn't have enough fun in the huge palace. She couldn't even play in all the courtyards and gardens. She often went out to play in the streets, so there were plenty of places for her to have fun. Why was she suddenly thinking of going somewhere new and even wanting to attend a banquet in the palace?

But on second thought, there is not so much thinking and analysis in the world of children. Children just do whatever they want.

He gently rubbed Taotao's head and spoke carefully and gently for a while.

In the evening, red clouds gathered in the sky, and in the sky that had been gloomy for a long time, red clouds appeared one after another, dazzling and beautiful.

Yun Mujiu sighed and said: Maybe after a few more days of rain, it will be sunny again.

Her recent concern was the troubles the drought had caused for Regent Ye Xiaohan. It seemed, however, that Ye Xiaohan had already dealt with all of these problems. The capital's weather and climate remained normal; after a period of drought, it had rained repeatedly. Furthermore, drought conditions outside the capital were effectively controlled, with timely relief efforts underway.

In other words, the riots within the dynasty that might have been caused by natural disasters have been nipped in the bud by His Majesty the Night King.

The internal troubles were solved, and the thoughtful Yun Mujiu couldn't help but think of another thing, which was the national security issue on the Zhongyue border.

This means that Ye Xiaohan is about to prepare to go to the front line.

Yun Mujiu couldn't sit still when she thought of this. She returned to the study in Qichiyuan and asked Suixi Fusang to summon some subordinates from Xianggen Pavilion.

She met with several men in black, discussed for a while, and finally said to them: "Get ready, I'm about to do the finishing work."

Since Ye Xiaohan is about to go to the front line, she has to arrange some matters before Ye Xiaohan leaves the capital.

For example, she had to first deal with the lingering Yun family. As for the Ye family, who had been imprisoned for a long time, after enduring a long period of torture and pain, it was time for them to meet their final end.

And it is time for her mother, Meng, to redress her injustice and prove the truth that she was innocently murdered and killed.

...

The rain fell all night long, dripping, making people's hearts fluctuate.

Early in the morning in the study of Huayang Court, Ye Xiaohan learned from a subordinate of the Han Yinwei about Pavilion Master Qian's reaction after receiving the letter.

He sneered, "Pavilion Master Qian is truly vigilant, once again trying to find out the identity of the letter writer."

But he wouldn't tell Pavilion Master Qian in advance, otherwise it would be boring. Sometimes it's precisely because you don't know anything that things become interesting.

Ye Xiaohan turned around and said to a Hanying Guard, "Continue to block the news. There's no need to let him know my identity."

"Yes, I understand."

Then, another man in black who was reporting the news stepped forward and whispered a few words in Ye Xiaohan's ear.

There was a rare trace of emotion on Ye Xiaohan's extremely cold face. He raised his sword-like eyebrows and a cold air suddenly leaked out.

"Pavilion Master Qian has scaled back his investigation into the Princess's master and is now focusing on investigating the Oriental family?"

The man in black lowered his head. "We, your subordinates, are not sure if this is the case, but it seems that Soul Stealer is indeed intending to change the direction of the investigation."

Ye Xiaohan's face turned cold, and Wei Bai and Du Ziheng were a little puzzled and thoughtful.

"Maybe he has other ideas." Ye Xiaohan raised his lips and said, "Interesting."

Considering the information he had asked his subordinates such as Du Ziheng to find out before, that is, the existence of such sayings as "reincarnation and resurrection" in the aristocratic families of the Eastern Empire, it can be seen that the leader of the Soul-stealing Pavilion must have had some strange guesses.

Ye Xiaohan whispered, "Pavilion Master Qian noticed something was wrong with Mu Jiu, and he went to investigate the Eastern Soul. It seems he has noticed something."

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng immediately panicked. What should they do?

Ye Xiaohan said indifferently: "When I meet him, I will test him myself and know the situation..."

Whether Pavilion Master Qian is a friend or an enemy remains to be determined and examined...

He said no more, turned around and asked what the princess was busy with, and then went to Qichiyuan.
