The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

After everyone exchanged greetings, Yun Mujiu took charge and led everyone to the city center lake. It was said that there was a long, winding stream there, and many people would release lanterns and make wishes there.

On the way, Yun Mujiu met Su Wen, a weak scholar who was running wildly alone, and then he also met the fifth prince and the seventh prince who were also out to see the lanterns, as well as Jiang Chi who rarely went out for a walk.

However, apart from Ye Xiaohan, Yun Mujiu and a few other people in the Ye Palace, no one else knew Jiang Chi's true identity as the exiled prince of Xiyi.

Jiang Chi's face was handsome and resolute, a stark contrast to his previous frail appearance while recovering from his injuries. He stood silently in the back. Although not very good at speaking, he would occasionally chat with Yun Mujiu, Meng Ninglang and the others.

The group walked and stopped along the way, and only after passing through several extremely busy streets and all sizes did they arrive near the city center lake.

Yun Mujiu took a look and secretly counted, realizing that she had indeed not missed anyone. She smiled faintly and said, "We've already made a trip together. Now everyone has their own plans, so let's go our separate ways."

Everyone responded and divided into several small teams to buy lanterns sold by vendors by the lake, and then went together to release the lanterns.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan were on their own team, Wei Song, Du Ziheng, Jiang Chi, and Su Wen were on the same team, while Wei Bai went to find Fu Qian. Princess Ji Ling, You Luoyan, and Bai Yanshuang were on the same team, Meng Ninglang was on the same team with Ling Chiye and Ling Xingmu, and finally, Ye Chufeng and Ye Chuhe were on the same team.

The moonlight is like water, and its bright light illuminates everything in the world.

Yun Mujiu took Ye Xiaohan's arm and walked slowly towards a quiet place on the lakeshore.

As a lotus lantern with a candle burning in the center floated away with the flowing water, Ye Xiaohan softly asked Yun Mujiu, who was holding his hands together, "Did Mumu make any wishes?"

"I made a wish." Yun Mujiu opened his eyes and raised his lip, "But if I tell you about it, it won't work. Keep it a secret."

Ye Xiaohan curved his lips and smiled: "Okay."

In a blink of an eye, Yun Mujiu asked curiously again: "What is the prince's wish?"

Ye Xiaohan then closed his eyes. Closing and opening them again was like completing the wish-making ceremony.

He first said, "If I tell you my wish, it will come true."

Then he whispered, "My wish is that the wish Mu Mu made tonight will come true. Not just this one, but all of Mu Mu's wishes will come true."

Yun Mujiu's face flushed red, and he was at a loss for words. How could this aloof man be so good at teasing his wife?

...

It was a bright, sunny morning. People in southern Thailand were busy as usual, but there was one thing that was different today...

A new piece of news quickly began to spread in the capital of Nantai.

Prince Nan Taisen appeared at Zhongyue's annual Moonlit Palace Banquet, and publicly admitted to planning and participating in the secret infiltration of a new group of Nan Tai's assassins into Zhongyue's territory.

The people of Nantai were shocked, and suddenly realized that the rumors they had heard were true! Prince Sen was really in Zhongyue!

In fact, considering the distance between Zhongyue and Nantai, the news from the Yuexi Palace Banquet that just took place a few days ago could not have spread so quickly in the capital of Nantai. It was just that someone had prepared in advance what would happen at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, so the people in Nantai quickly learned about the latest situation on Zhongyue's side.

All factions in the capital of Nantai were shocked. How could one of their princes quietly go to Zhongyue for such a long time without them knowing about it?

Queen Nan Taizhang was horrified, and Crown Prince Xu also criticized Prince Sen's faults righteously.

With the permission of Emperor Nantai, Empress Zhang allowed Prince Xu to break into Prince Sen's residence. Sure enough, Prince Sen was not there. After interrogating other attendants, they learned that Prince Sen had left long ago.

What Empress Zhang and Prince Xu didn't know on the phone was that the real Prince Sen had been restless and didn't dare to stay in the mansion for long after hearing that his other twin brother had disappeared at the hands of the Night King or the Netherworld some time ago.

This morning, Wanyan Sen heard the news circulating in the city early on, and immediately hid in the escape tunnel he had dug in advance, and colluded with his servants on what to say to the outside world.

Damn it! Zhong Yue's brother, the assassin, suddenly took his place, and he became the unrecognizable person who was like a rat crossing the street.

In short, everything was in the Night King's plan. The real Prince Sen of Nantai really fell into fear and lived a life of hiding. The court situation in Nantai became more and more chaotic. He had no time to bother with Zhongyue or to keep an eye on Zhongyue who was about to break out in war.

...

At the same time, the people in Zhongyue Capital were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Moon Festival. During the day, the night lanterns were put away on the streets, but many small items related to the Moon Festival were still displayed.

The recent drought crisis of the Zhongyue Dynasty has been resolved, and the eastern and western borders are both garrisoned by newly dispatched troops from the court. Their war god prince has long recovered from his illness and returned to his flawless state at his peak.

Everyone in Zhongyue was in a rare peaceful atmosphere.

At the Ye Palace, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were preparing for the final trials of the next few cases. There was no need to worry about bringing down the Yun Palace; the unholy face of the Beihan Divine Doctor faction would soon be exposed to the world. The evidence to clear Du Ziheng of his treason was also nearly complete. However, the investigation into the unknown forces within Beihan still required some finishing touches.

In addition, Ye Xiaohan also sent someone to secretly contact Doctor Shi, and they exchanged some information. After all, Doctor Shi was the only survivor of the Beihan Han family's extermination, and the trial of Beihan-related cases would certainly involve Doctor Shi.

Yun Mujiu also asked Du Ziheng: "Do you want to meet with Master Du and the others before the meeting?"

Du Ziheng firmly refused. "Forget it. The Valley Master and the Second Elder are good people, but they are living under the oppression of the Third Elder's faction. If the Valley Master is really determined to sit down and talk quietly with me, why can't he use his authority to reach a consensus with the Third Elder and others?"

To put it bluntly, Valley Master Du wanted to have a good talk with Du Ziheng, but he was easily influenced and could not stand up to the others' tantrums. And Du Ziheng was unwilling to force or embarrass Valley Master Du.

"Whether I am innocent or not, let's face it in court."

"Okay!" Yun Mujiu expressed his support with both hands.

Turning around, she didn't forget her promise to Master Du and sent over several sets of surgical instruments, some medical books, and her own secret medicine. As a fellow doctor, she didn't mind giving a little help to her colleagues.

Ye Xiaohan saw Yun Mujiu packing up his medicine box and asked for Yun Mujiu's advice: "What should we do with the reward gifts sent from the palace?"

Yun Mujiu slapped his forehead and remembered, "Keep everything the Queen Mother gave. As for the things the Queen gave, except for the tonics, keep the rest of the gold, silver, and jewelry after inspection and store them in the warehouse."

Du Ziheng immediately winked and said, "Tonic medicine, could it be..."

"Hey! It's nothing!" Yun Mujiu closed the medicine box and slipped out of the study. She was embarrassed to hear the words "preparation medicine"!

Ye Xiaohan glared at Du Ziheng with a hint of dissatisfaction, and the latter immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Ye Xiaohan ignored Du Ziheng, looked out the window at the slender woman running fast, and said coldly: "Maybe in the future it may be you who prescribes tonic medicine for the princess..."

Du Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, then happily agreed. Hehehe, if the prince and princess have children in the future, he will be the one to take care of the princess's health. It would be such a great sense of accomplishment and happiness!

...

Tomorrow is the day when the Jingzhao Prefecture opens. After Yun Mujiu ran back to his medicine room, he calmed down his pounding heart and started to get busy again.

Before the trial begins, she has to meet some of her "old friends" in prison...
