The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Sitting on the main seat in the hall, the emperor listened to the eunuch's report and then looked at Ye Xiaohan beside him.

"Night King, your wife is truly extraordinary."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for praising the princess. I will convey this to her later." Ye Xiaohan replied directly.

Even in this simple sentence, he invisibly revealed his unique concern for Yun Mujiu.

Everyone showed a hint of surprise, and the people from other provinces were even more shocked. They didn't expect that the Night King really valued the Night Princess as much as the legend said!

The emperor had only said it casually, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaohan to agree to it with such confidence. He couldn't help but laugh, and in a blink of an eye he brought up the topic of Yun Mu Jiugong's training of his disciples.

At this time, the seventh prince held up a white jade teacup and wanted to offer tea to the emperor.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince, who had not been seen for several days, had finally appeared and seemed to be gaining the Emperor's favor recently, people looked up to Ye Chufeng even more highly. Many people followed Ye Chufeng and also went to offer respectful greetings to the Emperor.

Of course, some people noticed that the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Seventh Prince were all present today, but the Fifth Prince, who was said to have been treated by Yun Mujiu, was absent. Could it be that Yun Mujiu's surgery had failed, preventing the Seventh Prince from appearing at all?

Most people at the scene had this doubt in their minds. Even the emperor did not know the specific situation of the fifth prince at this time, because after Yun Mujiu left Qingxuan Palace, there was no new news about the fifth prince.

Everyone was still speculating and turned their attention to the people from the Night King's faction.

However, no one could guess from the expressions and words of the Night King, or his trusted associates such as Wei Song, Wei Bai, and Du Ziheng, or the people from the Menggong Mansion represented by Meng Ninglang, what the result of Yun Mujiu's treatment of Ye Chuhe was.

...

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen asked the two Princesses of Beihan to go to the Imperial Garden first, and then left Yun Mujiu alone, saying that she had something to talk to Yun Mujiu about.

Yun Mujiu was not surprised at all. The Queen had her own quirks, and she received extra attention because of her collaboration with a mysterious person. Now that the Yuexi Palace Banquet was coming, it would be strange if the Queen did not find a chance to chat with her privately.

The queen smiled gently, first asked Yun Mujiu how he was doing recently, and then went straight to the point.

"Mu Jiu, what do you think of the rare and precious medicines I gave you earlier?"

Yun Mujiu recalled the Spring Outing Banquet, when the Queen specially sent her a batch of medicines that were said to help nourish the body and prepare for pregnancy.

Her face immediately flushed, and she looked embarrassed. Finally, she stammered, "The medicine that Her Majesty the Queen gave me is very good. I am deeply grateful for your kindness. However, I have been weak since childhood, and my body has been damaged for many years. Even if I have excellent medicine now, I am afraid that there are some things I can do but cannot help..."

Upon hearing this, the Queen frowned slightly. Yun Mujiu had been married to the Night King for many months, yet there was no sign of pregnancy. Could it be that after years of persecution in the Yun Mansion, her physical foundation had been completely destroyed, and this was why there had been no news of Yun Mujiu's pregnancy?

Yun Mujiu lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the playful look in her eyes. She continued, "Your Majesty, I have always been in poor health. After marrying into the Ye Palace, I have fallen ill again and again, causing His Majesty to worry about me endlessly. I am truly guilty."

The Queen recalled that she and the Emperor had tested Yun Mujiu's physical condition several times, and had asked Nanny Pei and the imperial physician to examine Yun Mujiu. Of course, she knew that Yun Mujiu's illness did not seem fake on several occasions.

The queen slowly stood up, walked to Yun Mujiu, took Yun Mujiu's hand, and said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, telling Yun Mujiu not to worry and to have a child after she had recovered.

Yun Mujiu also showed the shy look that a bride should have, and the Queen, Nanny Pei and the others did not notice anything unusual. After all, no matter how powerful Yun Mujiu was, she was only an eighteen-year-old girl. Even if she was mentally mature, she would definitely feel uncomfortable and extremely shy when it came to private matters between men and women.

With the Queen's consolation, Yun Mujiu accepted the batch of nourishing medicines that the Queen had given her. She agreed on the surface, and of course she would give the medicines to Du Ziheng after returning home. After all, she didn't dare to eat anything given by the Queen.

I still remember the bracelet that the queen gave me when I first entered the palace. It said I would have no children or grandchildren. What a cruel old woman she was!

The queen sat next to Yun Mujiu and said some words of concern, and Yun Mujiu also keenly felt the queen's abnormality.

Sure enough, the Queen was very happy that her fame was growing, and she also hoped that she would continue to run the pharmacy business well, and preferably expand it to other countries.

Yun Mujiu responded calmly, then casually spouted some empty rhetoric about future career development. She was adept at bluffing people without making a sound. For another thing, when she was practicing medicine in the modern world, she had plenty of ways to deal with difficult patients.

The Queen wanted to continue the conversation, but a palace maid reported that someone was coming over to the Queen Mother.

Both the Queen and Yun Mujiu were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who had been silent for a long time, would make rumors again.

After Kong Ma Ma bowed, she reported with a tolerant face, "The Queen Mother wishes to see Princess Ye. I wonder if Princess Ye is free to take the Queen Mother's pulse?"

Yun Mujiu agreed straightforwardly. The Queen stood up and wanted to follow Yun Mujiu, but saw Madam Kong lean over and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is weak and said she has no time to take care of more guests. She just wanted to ask Princess Ye to feel her pulse. Your Majesty is busy organizing the banquet, so please don't bother her."

...

Nanny Kong brought an elegant sedan chair, which Yun Mujiu could ride to Renshou Palace.

As she left, Yun Mujiu winked at Dong Yu. She had brought Fusang and four personal maids with her to the palace today, a truly impressive display. Of course, having more people made things easier, especially for conveying messages.

Dong Yu nodded slightly, retreated quietly, turned around and went to the Qianqing Palace to report Yun Mujiu's whereabouts to Ye Xiaohan.

Along the way, Yun Mujiu asked Madam Kong about the Queen Mother's recent health and pondered how to deal with the situation. The Queen Mother's invitation was completely unexpected, and she needed to think carefully about it.

Suddenly, an inspiration came to me.

Yun Mujiu wondered if the Queen Mother wanted to talk to her about her grandparents. She had just gone to the Duke of Meng's mansion with Ye Xiaohan to visit relatives, and she had been back there several times before.

Perhaps the Queen Mother has noticed something and wants to ask her about some secret past events?
