The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu looked around at everyone and found that Wei Bai and Butler Zeng had not come back after they brought the guards to change the water. Perhaps they were waiting outside the door.

She smiled indifferently and said to Doctor Wu and his daughter, "I didn't say you two would harm the prince. I was just asking about Xiangxiang. Why are you so nervous? Aren't your emotions a little too abnormal?"

She emphasized the word "abnormal".

Doctor Wu was so angry that the small tuft of gray beard on his chin trembled.

Firstly, he didn't want outsiders to know the unique spice ingredients he and his daughter used.

Secondly, he had been practicing medicine for many years, and no one had ever doubted his medical skills and medical quality. Yun Mujiu, a little girl, dared to question the true intentions of the father and daughter, which was really a disgrace to him as a genius doctor.

Doctor Wu glanced at Ye Xiaohan and found that he still had no expression on his face, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

That's all! I'd better explain it briefly, otherwise it will arouse suspicion for no reason.

"The ingredients of the spices are the unique secret recipe of my Wu family. Please forgive me for not telling you." Doctor Wu stroked his beard and swore, "I guarantee with my reputation as a doctor for half a lifetime that my father and I have no ulterior motives towards the prince. This spice will not affect the prince's treatment, nor will it affect others!"

The frost on Wu Mingwei's face faded, and she continued, "My father and I will not harm the prince. I use this spice, and my father also uses it, but he adds some other spices."

"Wei Song." Ye Xiaohan spoke in a faint voice.

Wei Song walked to the side of Doctor Wu, wrinkled his nose and sniffed. Doctor Wu saw this and could only wave his clothes vigorously.

A cold fragrance quickly entered Wei Song's nostrils, and Wei Song frowned.

"Your Highness, I once stayed with Doctor Wu and his daughter, and accidentally smelled the spices they used. Doctor Wu still uses the same spices as before."

Doctor Wu and his daughter's expressions eased a little. Fortunately, they had always used their own unique spices. Otherwise, suddenly changing the spices, especially during the critical period of treating the patient, would probably arouse suspicion.

Yun Mujiu originally just wanted to find out about the spices and see if there was anything unusual. Now that Doctor Wu and his daughter had given a reasonable explanation, Wei Song said that the fragrance was normal, and she had no clues or evidence, the matter of the spices could only come to an end for the time being.

Maybe she was just being overly cautious.

Yun Mujiu nodded, "So that's how it is. It's good that Divine Doctor Wu and Miss Wu know what's going on. The safety of the prince is the most important."

Wu Mingwei wanted to say something else, but Doctor Wu called out, "Mingwei, come here."

Now is the last round of medicinal bath. We cannot waste too much time and affect the treatment.

Wu Mingwei stomped her feet lightly, turned around angrily, and came to the side of Doctor Wu.

Wei Song glanced at Wu Mingwei and returned to the other end of the bathtub—where Ye Xiaohan was sitting.

At the same time, the emperor in the palace had just finished his morning court session and discussed various matters with his ministers.

He remembered his speculation last night and hurriedly picked up the brush and started writing.

The emperor quickly wrote the imperial edict and stamped it with his own seal.

"Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li half-bent over, and replied, "The servant is here."

The emperor rolled up the jade shafts at both ends of the imperial edict, on which were patterns of flying silver dragons.

"I order you to take people to the Night King's Palace to convey my order and invite Doctor Wu and his daughter into the palace immediately."

"I obey your command." Eunuch Li took the order and left.

The emperor's mouth curled slightly, his eyes full of hostility. Yes, he found another opportunity to suppress Ye Xiaohan.

After a while, Eunuch Li led a group of eunuchs out of the palace.

There were two carriages on this trip. The first one was for Eunuch Li alone, and the second one was for the eunuchs under Eunuch Li.

The driver drove to Yefu according to the usual route. When they passed a busy and crowded street, they happened to encounter a road blockage.

The three large carriages collided and got stuck in the middle of the road. The three coachmen cursed and blamed each other.

"Do you have eyes? Can you see the road?"

"Stop talking nonsense, ugh! It's you who can't drive a carriage!"

"You two losers, stop yelling. It's all your fault!"

...

There were many vendors selling goods on both sides of the road, and the collision of the three carriages affected their stalls. The vendors were very angry and followed suit, cursing and wanting the coachman to compensate for their losses.

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, and the roadside was crowded with onlookers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Li's coachman stopped the carriage far away.

"Uu! Uu!"

Eunuch Li staggered and almost fell. He shouted, "What's the matter?"

The driver explained, "Eunuch Li, there was a collision between carriages ahead and vendors were causing trouble, so the road is blocked."

Eunuch Li lifted the curtain of the carriage, squinted his eyes, and looked at the road conditions ahead.

The driver asked, "Do you want me to clear the road? We must not delay the emperor's important event!"

"No! We have to keep a low profile on this trip, so as not to let the news leak out to the people in Ye Mansion." Eunuch Li ordered: "Take a detour, let's go!"

"Yes, Eunuch Li!"

The driver drove the carriage along another less busy road, where there were fewer pedestrians and vendors.

The little snow on the road was cleared aside, and some potholes were filled with melted snow water.

This road has no snow or ice, but is a little rough in parts.

The driver whipped the carriage and sped it up.

Suddenly, a carriage came towards them at a very fast speed, and it was heading straight towards Eunuch Li's carriage, refusing to move to the side at all.

Eunuch Li's driver was busy waving his whip and could only step aside to make way.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The oncoming carriage hit the two carriages of the palace in succession and then sped away.

Eunuch Li swayed and hit the wall inside the car. He was angry, "What's going on?"

Eunuch Li pulled up the door curtain and saw an ordinary carriage running away. He didn't expect that he almost fell down again.

"You blind dog! If I didn't have something important to do, I would teach you a lesson right now!"

Eunuch Li said to the driver, "Drive the carriage carefully!"

The driver lowered his head and said timidly, "Yes, yes, yes! It's all the fault of the driver just now who was blind!"

The driver started to drive the carriage, "Gee! Gee! Gee!"

Eunuch Li was holding the imperial edict and was about to sit down...

The ordinary carriage that had just run away slowed down at some point, and a thick needle flew out of the carriage, with a green glow on the needle tip.

"call out…"

The thick needle flew straight towards the butt of the horse in which Eunuch Li was riding.

The ordinary carriage sped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The thick needle was inserted into the horse's buttocks, and the horse suddenly raised its head and raised its front hooves. Then, the horse neighed and rushed forward like a headless fly.

The horse in the first carriage was frightened, and the other horse behind it also began to run away in panic.
