The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Prince Di's thoughts went back to the night of the Moonlit Palace Banquet. He had clearly found a good opportunity to talk to Yun Mujiu. However, he was refused entry to the Night Palace and could not find or catch up with Yun Mujiu anywhere else outside the palace.

Now he finally had a formal platform to talk with Yun Mujiu, but the woman treated him with a seemingly gentle but actually indifferent attitude.

He wanted to talk about his childhood, but Yun Mujiu didn't react at all, and expressed that she didn't care whether there was a past or not.

This made him feel as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, chilling him from head to toe.

In fact, as early as when he set out from the Northern Territory to return to the capital, Prince Di had been paying attention to the news in the capital, especially the news related to the Night Prince's Mansion. When he was about to arrive in the capital, he heard that the Night Prince and Yun Mujiu had worked together to defeat Xu Houshan, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.

Later, through some covert investigation, he discovered that when Yun Mujiu was six years old, he could not stand the torture of the people in the Yun Mansion and ran to the Dali Temple to complain, but was betrayed by Xu Houshan. Xu Houshan and the Ye family humiliated and punished Yun Mujiu, causing Yun Mujiu to suffer a head injury and lose some of his memory.

In other words, this year, King Di found out the truth about Yun Mujiu's possible amnesia through Xu Houshan's fall from power.

But the problem was, he was very unwilling to accept it. Why did Yun Mujiu remember Ye Chufeng from that period, but not himself from that period?!

The sun was shining outside the window, but Prince Di was obviously not in a good mood. He just felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice hole, and his whole body was cold. It seemed that no matter what he wrapped himself in, he could not feel warm.

"what!"

An angry cry rang out, startling the birds outside the window. Several of King Di's confidants outside the door had gloomy faces, with indescribable expressions on their faces.

Honestly, they couldn't understand why His Royal Highness Prince Di would want to contact Princess Ye again. It was clear that His Royal Highness Prince Di was far away in the Northern Territory and had always been indifferent to Princess Ye. Even though Princess Ye and Prince Di had a brief experience as playmates when they were young, it didn't seem that Prince Di had any thoughts or actions towards Princess Ye afterwards.

...

There have been changes at Prince Di's mansion, and the situation at the Prince's mansion is not much better.

The prince looked as sick as an old ghost, completely devoid of energy. As he listened to the servant's report on the outside world's discussions about the Yuexi Palace Banquet, he couldn't help but think of that arrogant and domineering woman.

That night, Yun Mujiu also said a few words to him.

When the prince saw Yun Mujiu coming with a glass of wine, he thought that Yun Mujiu was coming to talk to him. He even thought that Yun Mujiu had rediscovered the charm of him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and that was why he wanted to contact him again.

But this feeling of relief and joy did not last for a moment, as he heard Yun Mujiu's calm narration of a series of events.

"Prince, do you know why you are not feeling well?"

"Let me tell you. One of the reasons for your poor health is your own fault. You're always exhausting yourself without restraint."

"Another reason is man-made."

"Why do you think you've had serious health problems since the day the Sitiantai started causing trouble at the Yewang Mansion?"

"Do you think you were severely injured by a group of people from the Nether Palace just because you offended the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld?"

"Do you think that when you and those lackeys were discussing how to deal with me in the Laurel Building, and then something happened to them, and your health kept getting worse, it was all an accident?"

"Do you think your health deteriorated so rapidly simply because Divine Doctor Wu and his daughter put Beihan poison in your medicine?"

"Do you think that the serious and embarrassing carriage overturn that happened when you finally managed to go out a few months ago was also an accident?"

Yun Mujiu spoke quickly and turned away, leaving the prince who had not yet reacted.

When he finally reacted, all kinds of expressions appeared on the prince's sick face, which were complicated and extremely ugly.

What! It turns out that all the suffering and pain he had endured over the past year was caused by that damned woman, Yun Mujiu! He thought he had been oppressed enough by Uncle Ye and Yun Mujiu, but he didn't expect there were so many unfortunate events that he didn't even know about!

The prince wanted to catch up and question Yun Mujiu, but when he caught a glimpse of Yun Mujiu's radiant appearance, he felt timid. Then, when he thought of the Night King who always protected Yun Mujiu, he didn't have the courage to go up and provoke Yun Mujiu.

He... he didn't have the courage...

The prince has been patient until now.

At this moment, the prince carefully recalled the changes in Yun Mujiu along the way, as well as the changes in Yun Mujiu's attitude towards him. From the day Yun Mujiu was kidnapped and escaped, Yun Mujiu had completely changed!

Now he knew—everything Yun Mujiu did to him was revenge!

"You are so cruel, Yun Mujiu!" The prince gritted his teeth and uttered these words. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the side of the armchair, startling the servants in the room and making them scream and howl.

...

The prince's residence was in chaos, and the former residence of Prime Minister Zhongyue was deserted and dilapidated.

Yun Boliang had finally regained the emperor's attention in the past two months. He was able to go to court despite his old injury and participated in two large banquets.

However, he never expected that the good day he had been looking forward to did not come. Instead, he was accused by Yun Mujiu at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, and he would never be able to turn things around.

Zhong Yue, who had struggled all his life and was proud of his position as the Left Prime Minister, was stripped of it. He was not demoted, but was directly demoted to a commoner. He would then have to stand trial and punishment. His tragic ending was foreseeable at a glance.

What Yun Boliang didn't know was that the Night King was secretly behind his recent return to the court. The Night King wanted Yun Boliang to once again stand in a high position that didn't belong to him, and then he would ruthlessly throw Yun Boliang down.

The greatest despair is to give a dying person a new hope, and then completely destroy this hope.

At this time, Yun Boliang could no longer hide in the Yun Mansion and survive. He and Ye were imprisoned in the Jingzhao Mansion prison, and he and Ye were in the cell next to each other.

The two had already fallen out with each other, and were devastated by Yun Mujiu's accusations of a series of crimes, so they took out all their negative emotions on each other.

For this reason, when Yun Boliang and Ye were locked up in the cell, they took advantage of the jailer's inattention and broke free, cursing and beating each other on the spot.

The commotion in the Jingzhao prison was no secret. The news that Yun Boliang and Ye had injured each other had spread, and Yun Shirou, who was staying in the Yun Mansion, naturally heard the news as well.

But Yun Shirou now has no time to care about others. She is in a state of collapse with her family broken and her future hopeless.

She didn't really care about Yun Boliang's downfall.

The key point is that this so-called father was abolished from the position of Left Prime Minister, and Yun Shirou also completely lost the protection of her father, the Left Prime Minister. What should she, a concubine's daughter, do in the future?

In the dilapidated and deserted Yun Mansion, Yun Shirou was so angry that she screamed wildly.

Her initial plan was to have Yun Mujiu cure her illness first, then leverage Yun Boliang's comeback. With the title of Left Prime Minister, why would they, father and daughter, find a better support? Why would she not be able to win the Crown Prince's favor, eventually becoming the mother of a nation and trampling over Yun Mujiu and the regent she loved but couldn't have!

However, all those beautiful illusions were shattered when Yun Mujiu reported his mother's murder at the Yuexi Palace Banquet.

The dream of wealth and glory that I had painstakingly woven for so long finally vanished into thin air.

"Why did I end up like this! Yun Mujiu! Ahhhh! I hate you!"

Yun Shirou is crazy...
