The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

A grand moonlit palace banquet ended sadly with a fireworks display that seemed lively but was actually lonely.

It was already very late at night. After the emperor and empress left, everyone else followed suit.

Thick clouds gradually drifted, covering the bright moon and hiding everything in the world under the increasingly dark sky.

In the hazy night, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu left in the same imperial carriage.

As the imperial carriage drove out of the palace gate, Yun Mujiu's little face looked listless and a little tired.

Ye Xiaohan, who was sitting cross-legged elegantly, slapped his thigh, indicating that Yun Mujiu could rest her head on his thigh. Yun Mujiu's lips curved up, and suddenly, her lips drooped, and Ye Xiaohan, who was looking at her, also showed a trace of solemnity.

Weird!

Yun Mujiu said nothing, but raised her dark eyebrows. Ye Xiaohan followed suit, raising his sword-like eyebrows, but also remained silent.

The carriage was completely silent, the only sounds that could be heard were the axles turning and scraping against the floorboards, and the crisp clatter of horse hooves from a group of imperial guards riding nearby.

Yun Mujiu leaned his upper body towards Ye Xiaohan, and Ye Xiaohan moved slightly and placed his hand on the wooden floor in the middle of the carriage.

When they first boarded the carriage at Huaqing Gate, they didn't notice anything unusual. Not long after the carriage started moving, the two martial artists with keen hearing also heard a faint rustling sound.

Yun Mujiu nodded, and Ye Xiaohan immediately opened the floor.

Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan turned their wrists, and as their sleeves fluttered slightly, some things fell to the ground one by one, and black blood flowed out.

When Ye Xiaohan saw Yun Mujiu's hand, his handsome eyebrows knitted tightly.

Yun Mujiu raised a live black snake with a pointed head that he was holding in his handkerchief and smiled slightly.

"This is a poisonous creature. We'll kill the others and leave this one alive for the person who released it. We'll give it to the one who released it later."

She opened the medicine box in the corner, took out an anesthetic pill, and injected it directly into the snake. Then she took an empty glass bottle, opened the stopcock, and stuffed the snake in. Then she wiped her hands again.

Yun Mujiu moved quickly, finishing the job in just a few breaths. He then looked at the dead snakes on the ground, frowning slightly.

"Your Highness, Princess, there seems to be something unusual happening outside." Sui Xi's reminder just sounded.

At this moment, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's already alert nerves also started to ring. "Be careful!"

Outside, a sharp and low scraping sound was heard, and sharp arrows emitting red light shot out from the deserted streets on both sides.

Those long arrows with the brightest red light were all shot towards the carriage where Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were.

Ye Xiaohan embraced Yun Mujiu, holding a long sword in one hand and slashing at the arrows that fell from the sky and penetrated the chariot. Little did he know that the strong-willed and courageous girl had also taken a dagger to fight with him.

Outside the carriage, Suixi reined in his horse with one hand and chopped at the flying arrows with the other hand. Fusang beside him and Yingliu who suddenly appeared came to his aid.

Behind the carriage, a small group of personal guards led by Wei Song and Wei Bai were resisting the arrows while trying to break through the rain of arrows to protect Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

The curtain suddenly opened, and two figures appeared in front of the car door. The man in the black robe swung his sword, and countless arrows that were hit by the sword returned to their original path.

Muffled groans were heard, blood dripping from the eaves on both sides of the street, and a strong smell of blood came over.

The woman in gorgeous clothes on the side of the car door was not to be outdone. She held the sword in both hands and waved it left and right.

Ye Xiaohan glanced around and repelled a new batch of arrows and said, "Chase them for me!"

Wei Song and his group took the order and left, while Wei Bai stayed behind at the scene to lead a group of guards on duty.

Ye Xiaohan turned around and looked at Yun Mujiu, whose gorgeous clothes were fluttering in the wind, and held Yun Mujiu tightly in his arms.

He casually picked up an arrow stuck in the roof of the car and looked at it coldly.

Wei Bai asked carefully, "Does Your Majesty suspect that this is Nantai's arrow?"

Ye Xiaohan looked at the exotic style of the arrow tail carving indifferently and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid things are not that simple."

...

A new wave of hot news began to spread at the morning market.

The annual Yuexi Palace Banquet has attracted the attention of countless people during this period. As soon as this grand banquet ended, all the things that happened at the banquet spread like wildfire.

People were talking about Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu attending the palace banquet together. Their brilliant performances were amazing and admirable.

During the early stages of the Moonlit Palace Banquet, Yun Mujiu first taught a lesson to a group of troublemakers, led by Bei Manji, Dong Yanran, and Liu Qianqian, and then severely suppressed the families of some erratic and overbearing provincial officials. His superb blindfolded dart shooting skills even blinded everyone.

Ye Xiaohan appeared in front of people with a majestic demeanor, attracting a group of followers who yearned for him.

In the middle of the Moonlit Palace Banquet, a series of more exciting dramas were staged in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

For the first time in over twenty years, the Fifth Prince, Ye Chuhe, stood up, stunning everyone present with his graceful demeanor. His miraculous recovery was all thanks to the divinely gifted female doctor, Yun Mujiu.

Then, another climax arrived. The Grand Princess of Beihan, under the pretense of presenting a gift, flaunted her ice sword, crafted from the core of their thousand-year-old polar ice, in an attempt to undermine the Zhongyue Dynasty's prestige. Unbeknownst to her, Yun Mujiu suddenly produced a nano-ceramic dagger and, with a single blow, severed the ice sword, a blade comparable in strength to Eastern Black Iron.

One strike cuts through the ambitions of other nations, and one strike boosts our nation's prestige! The Zhongyue Dynasty's national reputation is restored, and it also serves as a warning to the other three kingdoms and even the Eastern Empire: Zhongyue also possesses his own unique secret weapon!

Afterwards, Bei Manji, the Beihan envoys and Emperor Haolian, who had suffered repeated setbacks, were unwilling to give up at the last moment and wanted to take back the huge compensation from the Beihan royal family from Princess Ye. However, they did not know that the Ye King and his wife had already arranged the use of the money and implemented it one by one to the point of benefiting the people and the country.

Everyone was under the huge impact of Yun Mujiu for a long time, and then they were shocked by the tacit understanding and powerful methods of Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan.

What he didn't expect was that on the other side, Ye Xiaohan also had a big show to perform.

At Ye Xiaohan's introduction, the much-discussed Prince of Nantai Sen made his first public appearance, cautiously confessing his secret infiltration into Zhongyue territory with Nantai spies. After the banquet, Ye Xiaohan also relocated Wanyan Sen's host, having him imprisoned alongside Wanyan Gu in the Nantai Envoy's Courtyard.

Later in the banquet, Yun Mujiu shocked everyone by suing them for three major crimes. The climax of the banquet arrived.

First, he accused the Yun family of cruelty and insidiousness, defending his biological mother's injustice and accusing himself. Second, he accused Divine Doctor Wu and his group of Northern Cold Divine Doctors of reckless disregard for human life and the murder of innocent people. Third, he accused Du Digu of another injustice in the robbery case seven years ago and demanded a thorough investigation.

The Beihan envoy group represented by Bei Manji lost face and was ridiculed; the entire Yun family was punished and it was difficult for them to recover; the hypocrisy of Wu Shenyi and his group of so-called miracle doctors was exposed, and countless old grievances were rehabilitated and surfaced in the world; Duti Valley, the largest medicine cabinet organization, also encountered difficulties. The case that had already been decided was suspicious and needed to be reopened for investigation.

As the banquet was coming to an end, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's beautiful and well-matched figures under the fireworks left a deep impression on everyone.

The giant python embroidered on Ye Xiaohan's robe and the phoenix embroidered on Yun Mujiu's clothes seemed to be about to fly into the sky. Everyone was amazed at their celestial postures and spread this beautiful scene.

This morning, people in the countryside were talking about this scene. Even though they had not seen it with their own eyes, they talked about it as if they had experienced it themselves.

At this time, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu in the Ye Palace had no idea how the outside world was talking about their affairs.

The two of them gathered in the study of Huayang Courtyard, summoned a group of subordinates, and discussed some important matters together...

For example, not long after Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu left the palace, they encountered a sudden and violent attack...
