The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the center of the spacious hall, a man wearing a dark blue robe with wide sleeves was standing with his back bent.

His facial features are rather gloomy, with a certain royal nobility, and his deep brow bones have the exotic style of the Southern Thai people.

A pair of long, narrow eyes, slightly tilted upwards, tinged with a hint of hostility. The area around the eyes was dark, and there were old wounds on the face, as if he had been tortured for a long time.

An experienced minister pondered, recalling all the important figures he had met in his life, or all the portraits he had seen.

Yun Boliang, the Prime Minister, was clueless, his mouth bulging with food still bulging as he stared at the man in green like a fool. The Right Prime Minister was more serious, frowning as he wondered who this man was.

"Night King." The emperor stood up and took a few steps toward the red sandalwood table. He pointed at the man in green and said, "Is this the Sixth Prince of Nantai, Wanyan Sen?"

Ye Xiaohan didn't answer, but turned to the man and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself quickly?"

Wan Yansen paused and saluted the emperor. "My humble Highness, Wan Yansen, the Sixth Prince of Nantai, greets His Majesty Zhongyue."

Then, he bowed and greeted the Queen, Prince Ye, Princess Ye and others.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Most people didn't care about eating or drinking, and were whispering to each other. Everyone was curious why a prince from Nantai suddenly came to Zhongyue without notifying in advance?

Some well-informed people think more deeply.

On the one hand, they heard that Prince Mori had appeared in Zhongyue.

They had heard that Prince Nan Taisen had brought a group of Nan Tai spies to lurk in Zhongyue and cause trouble.

The Night King then participated in the hunt for the spy, and even ordered Lord Nether to strangle the spy. Rumor has it that after Lord Nether fought Prince Mori, Prince Mori disappeared. During this time, didn't anyone wonder where Prince Mori ultimately ended up?

On the other hand, they also suspected that Prince Sen had been captured and imprisoned, and the suspected person who imprisoned Prince Sen was Lord Youming.

However, some time ago, it was revealed that Youming Jiuchong was ambushed by the Dragon Staff Guard and the Killer Organization. The Dragon Staff Guard and the Killer Organization did not discover the possibility that Wan Yansen might fall into the hands of Youming Jiuchong.

Then, after the Night King let him intervene in the investigation of the case in the north, some people turned their suspicion to the Night King. However, they never had the opportunity or the courage to verify the truth of this matter.

At this moment, the fact before everyone is that Prince Sen has appeared, and the person who introduced Prince Sen out is the Night King.

Some people thought, could it be that the Night King took Prince Sen back from Lord Youming?

On a moonlit night, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was resplendent with gold and jade, adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations. The sudden appearance of the Sixth Prince of Nantai was undoubtedly a major change in the palace banquet.

After facing the various expressions displayed by the crowd, the silent Wanyan Sen looked at Wanyan Gu again and nodded gently: "Second brother, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you are doing well?"

Wanyan Gu shook the hand holding the wine glass, and some of the wine spilled out.

He simply couldn't believe that the person before him was his good younger brother. During this period, he had sent people to investigate Wan Yansen's whereabouts, but no new clues were found. He had been working hard to find this younger brother. Of course, he didn't want to save this younger brother, but just wanted to find out the whereabouts of his sixth brother and find out what he had secretly done in Zhongyue.

Wanyan Gu had guessed that Wanyan Sen had fallen into the hands of Youming Jiuchong, but now it seems that he has fallen into the hands of Ye Xiaohan.

"Second brother?" Wanyan Sen's voice sounded in his ears.

Wan Yan Gu suddenly came back to his senses, "Ahem, I haven't seen my second brother for a long time. I am quite surprised."

Wan Yansen smiled sinisterly: "Second brother is so surprised, it seems that he really missed me."

Wanyan Gu frowned, neither confirming nor denying.

Suddenly, the emperor asked someone to give Wan Yansen a seat, and then immediately asked about Wan Yansen's situation.

Why did it suddenly appear here?

What exactly happened?

Which of the recent rumors are true and which are false?

The emperor secretly asked a lot of questions under the pretext of expressing concern.

only…

Wanyan Sen always looked confused and could not give any answers to the point. He said in a general and vague way that it was his fault for not asking the Emperor of Nantai to write a personal letter of his arrival.

Secondly, he secretly told the emperor and the third prince, who knew some information about the northward investigation of spies, that he was indeed involved, but he had no other purpose and was just sending a group of ordinary spies in advance.

However, no mention was made of the obscure secrets of the Nantai assassins sneaking into the country and hiding secretly, setting up multiple bases in the northern part of Zhongyue, whether they entered the country for the purpose of Zhongyue's spiritual vein, the spy team being controlled by the mother-child poison, and the progress of the investigation into the spiritual vein!

Thirdly, Wanyan Sen cleverly emphasized that the rumors circulating recently might not be true, and did not directly answer the emperor's question of "Are those rumors true or false?"

Most of the guests, both male and female, were unaware of the deeper details surrounding the spies heading north. When they heard Wanyan Sen had brought spies to Zhongyue, they didn't react much. They ate and drank as usual, with no reaction. After all, the Night King had already dealt with these spies, so there was no need to worry about the safety of Zhongyue.

Why did most people seem unimpressed by Wan Yansen's admission of bringing spies into the country? Well, logically speaking, the five nations of the Xingyue Continent all had their own spies planted in various countries. This was commonplace and nothing to be surprised about. So, at first glance, there was nothing wrong with Wan Yansen bringing a group of Nantai spies to Zhongyue.

The Emperor, having given it more thought, naturally knew that there was something fishy about Wan Yansen's infiltration into the country, and that those spies were certainly not just conducting ordinary intelligence investigations. However, with so many people present, and the other party being an important prince of Southern Thailand, it was not appropriate for him, as the Emperor, to harshly interrogate a foreign prince on the spot.

The queen put down her teacup early and gently reminded the emperor that it was important to hold a palace banquet.

The emperor waved his hand and asked Wan Yansen to sit down.

As soon as Wanyan Sen sat down, before he could even take a sip of his tea, someone suddenly jumped out.

The man asked sternly, "Prince Sen, why are you here?"

"King Di, didn't I just say that? I came here by chance, and I'm sorry for not bringing a letter of credence. This has somewhat broken the rules of communication between our two countries."

King Di sneered, "You know that's not what I want to ask. I mean, that day, the King saw you being injured and captured by Lord Youming. Why are you here again now?"

Wanyan Sen's narrow eyebrows moved and he turned his head to look at the row of banquet tables opposite.

Ye Xiaohan suddenly said: "I brought him here."

"Bang!" The jade teacup slammed down onto the heavy mahogany table, and he coldly demanded, "I brought this from someone else. What's your opinion?"
