The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

His Majesty the Night King's order was conveyed very clearly. The sudden appearance of the influential figure Youming Jiuchong would suddenly disappear without a trace during this period of time.

The devil in the martial arts world, Youming Jiuchong, disappeared from the world, while Prince Zhongyue, His Royal Highness the Night King, rose to prominence again, sweeping away the attention of all the countries and their people on the Star-Moon Continent.

Ye Xiaohan was looking out the window at the night view outside. His handsome face was covered with a coldness that made people feel afraid and they dared not go forward to blaspheme.

Wei Bai and his two companions stood there blankly, looking at Ye Xiaohan with eyes full of admiration and respect.

...

Last night, it rained heavily all night long.

There were continuous heavy rains in Zhongyue's capital, and continuous rains in other places. The people of Zhongyue had completely escaped all the terrible crises brought about by this year's drought.

The sounds of wind, rain and thunder rang out together. While the sky was not peaceful, the situation in various countries was not calm either.

The Beihan Kingdom received a batch of the latest news about Zhongyue, and learned about the situation of the envoys of Princess Manji and Princess Liyi, and also learned that the two princesses had fallen into the hands of Zhongyue Prince Ye and Princess Ye one after another.

Among them, the two princesses were unable to take back the five million taels of gold that the Beihan royal family gave to the Night King's Mansion. Instead, such a huge sum of gold became a favor to the Night King and his wife. How could this not make the Beihan people angry to the point of heartache!

They also learned about Yun Mujiu's accusations against a group of divine doctors, including Divine Doctor Wu, at the Yuexi Palace banquet. The whole country was in an uproar, and all kinds of emotions were stirred.

This time, not only were all the crimes of Doctor Wu and his daughter exposed, but a series of related doctors and forces also had their true dirty faces revealed.

A group of miraculous doctors and forces in Beihan were exposed for their crimes and were despised by the people. This also caused unrest among countless factions in Beihan.

At the moment, the heavy news about the Night King and his wife presiding over the case in Jingzhao Prefecture has not yet reached Beihan. When Beihan receives the news, it will definitely set off another bloody storm.

...

Unrest has already broken out in Southern Thailand, and a series of news about Prince Mori caught everyone in Southern Thailand off guard.

Previously, there had been rumors from Zhongyue regarding Prince Sen sneaking into the territory to cause trouble. However, such news hadn't spread much in Nantai at the time, and few believed that Prince Sen, who was recuperating in seclusion, would go to Zhongyue.

But now it’s different. The news coming out of Zhongyue clearly proves that Prince Nan Taisen rashly brought his assassins into Zhongyue territory with evil intentions!

There was also important news that His Royal Highness the Night King had captured Prince Sen and brought him to the Zhongyue Yuexi Palace Banquet!

Now, the people of Nantai who didn’t know now know, and those who didn’t believe it now have to believe it.

Some people were surprised: "So Prince Sen, who hasn't been seen for a long time, has gone to Zhongyue!"

Some people changed their attitude towards Wanyan Sen, horrified. "It's truly astonishing that Prince Sen is so scheming. Isn't he usually low-key and kind? How could he secretly go to Zhongyue and do something dangerous without telling anyone..."

Someone belatedly realized the situation and exclaimed, "Prince Sen brought his assassins to Zhongyue. Could it be that he's extremely ambitious and wants to extend his influence to Zhongyue as well?"

Some people were puzzled and curious: "Did Prince Mori go to Zhongyue just to plant spies for his own faction? Is this really the truth? Does he have other hidden intentions?"

Someone had a profound opinion: "Prince Mori went to Zhongyue secretly, and was captured alive and imprisoned in Zhongyue. Now I wonder what his future situation will be like? Is he going to become a hostage of my court in another country?"

In short, chaos erupted within Nantai, and the Nantai Emperor was furious. A young prince had rashly caused trouble, committing something so significant that it affected both his own country and Zhongyue. If this prince caused discord or even war between the two countries, it would truly be a grave sin.

The Emperor of Nantai frowned, angrily saying with discontent, "Let's not talk about the war for now! More importantly, Wanyan Sen is under house arrest in Zhongyue. Who knows what kind of disaster he will bring to our dynasty in the future!"

Queen Zhang Meng of Nantai smiled slightly when she heard about Wan Yansen's story. She had never expected that a prince who had always been inconspicuous would be so shocking when his news was exposed again.

Wanyan Xu, Empress Zhangmeng's eldest son and the Crown Prince of Nantai, saw his mother's surprise and chimed in, "I never imagined my sixth brother would behave so horribly."

Empress Zhang Meng said quietly, "It seems we need to keep a closer eye on Wan Yansen from now on."

Wanyan Xu thought of a cryptic message he had received. It was said that when Wanyan Sen was caught by Youming Jiuchong, he pretended to be the prince, but in the end Youming Jiuchong recognized the fake prince's appearance.

His thick eyebrows knitted together, "Sixth Brother is still pretending to be me. This is really too much!"

"Yan Xu, calm down." Empress Zhang Meng's face was calm and unfathomable. "He provoked you. Your Majesty will seek justice for you in the future."

She raised her red lips and said faintly, "Also, Yan Xu, do you think it will be so easy for Wan Yansen to return to Nantai in the future?"

I'm afraid Wanyan Sen will become a hostage and suffer enough in Zhongyue before he shows up.

...

The situation in Southern Thailand is turbulent, and other countries are also experiencing fluctuations.

This morning, an urgent military report from eight hundred miles away arrived at the morning court. Emperor Haolian, the Regent, and even a group of princes and civil and military ministers heard the urgent military report on the spot.

The Dongyang and Xiyi armies stationed there both took action and set off again. The Dongyang army headed for Zhongyue's eastern border, and the Xiyi army headed for Zhongyue's western border!

Some time ago, the glorious deeds of Lord Youming and His Majesty the Night King spread outside, which to a certain extent curbed the rebellion of the Eastern and Western Yi armies, allowing Zhongyue to continue to have a period of peaceful recuperation.

However, the period of peace did not last long. Furthermore, the current situation on the Xingyue Continent was complex. Zhongyue, as the leader of the four kingdoms, was a constant thorn in the side of Xiyi, Beihan, and Nantai, and even more so, a thorn in the heart of the Dongyang Empire. This meant that these three small nations and one large nation would eventually seek to take action against the Zhongyue Dynasty; it was just a matter of time.

For this reason, Zhongyue is now facing a crisis again.

People in the court knew that Emperor Haolian's health was getting worse, but today Emperor Haolian still attended the morning court with a pale face and barely managed to do so.

Civil and military officials were discussing how to deal with the possible wars that might break out in the eastern and western borders.

Ye Xiaohan said objectively: "The East may not provoke a war against our dynasty, but the Western barbarians will definitely do so."

First, for many years, the Eastern Empire had intended to annex other countries but had not dared to show it clearly, let alone take any obvious action. This was because if it wanted to take action against a country, that country would feel the pressure and would unite with other countries to resist the threat of the Eastern Empire.

So, in Ye Xiaohan's opinion, Dongyang's visit to Zhongyue's eastern border didn't necessarily mean he wanted to start a war. He might have other matters to attend to, or he might simply want to intimidate Zhongyue. In short, Dongyang definitely wouldn't dare to attack Zhongyue right now.

Secondly, the Western barbarians, unlike the Eastern barbarians, did not need to worry about the face of the empire. The Western barbarians were like rats in the gutter, and they would do something immoral at the first opportunity.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and while the Western Yi people are suffering from a severe drought this year, Zhongyue is still as bountiful as ever. Furthermore, the Western Yi people have been repeatedly defeated by the Night King in recent years, and have not been able to gain much benefit from Zhongyue.

For this reason, this autumn and winter, the cockroach-like insidious country Xiyi is definitely trying to snatch some resources from Zhongyue!

At this moment, a key question came up in the court:

How should Zhongyue deal with the foreign crisis brought by many countries!
