The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The Night King successfully returned to the capital, leading a small contingent of troops.

Under pressure from the Night King, the Emperor could no longer pretend to be stupid and withhold appropriate rewards as before. He could only reward the Night King and his wife and their meritorious generals, such as Wei Song, Wei Bai, Du Ziheng, Yang Wu, Ling Xingmu, and Ling Chiye.

Among them, Yun Mujiu was specially granted the title of Lady Protector of the Nation, who was kind, righteous, loyal and brave.

Half a month later, the princes and their delegation from the Western Barbarians arrived in the capital to personally apologize for their wrongdoing in starting the war.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu also noticed Prince Wututu in the envoy group, realizing that he had already gained considerable power in the Western Barbarians. They exchanged a slight smile, their thoughts flowing freely between them.

After returning to the capital, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu continued to focus on their respective careers, while rumors occasionally circulated about Youming Jiuzhong and the Pavilion Master of Yuan Pavilion appearing in the martial arts world.

The demon lord Youming Jiuzhong and the Pavilion Master of Yuan Pavilion were still directing their respective assassins in a battle behind the scenes.

On several occasions late at night in the martial arts world, Youming Jiuzhong and the Pavilion Master of Yuan Pavilion had a few minor exchanges.

The two exchanged no words and immediately began fighting. As a result, neither could discern who was behind the other's mask.

...

A few days later, an envoy from the Eastern Empire arrived. They said they had heard of the Night King's heroic deeds and wanted to invite the Night King and his wife to visit the empire.

Although they were said to be guests, everyone knew that the Eastern Empire was becoming increasingly wary of the Night King and wanted to make things difficult for him, suppress him, or even destroy him.

Moreover, the Night King killed four Western Martial Gods and severely injured six others, revealing his strength beyond that of a Martial God. The Eastern Empire would absolutely not tolerate the Night King.

Ye Xiaohan, the War God Prince, is becoming increasingly prominent. No such powerful young man has appeared in the five kingdoms for decades. The Eastern Empire is finding it increasingly difficult to tolerate him.

Faced with the invitation from the Japanese delegation, Ye Xiaohan said nothing. He made final arrangements with Yun Mujiu for matters in the capital before preparing to go to the Japanese Empire.

He had long wanted to go to the Eastern Empire. This trip was not something he was forced to do; rather, he deliberately arranged for someone to take him there.

"Mumu, I'm finally going to take you to the Eastern Empire."

...

Two days before their departure, bad news broke from the Duke of Meng's residence.

Duke Meng suddenly fell ill and nearly died. Now he can only cling to life, and his life is in grave danger.

The moment Yun Mujiu learned the news, tears streamed down her face involuntarily.

In her past life, she had little kinship with her family. She finally found an old man who protected and loved her. Is God going to take him away too?

Ye Xiaohan went to the military camp to handle some affairs and was not at his residence. Yun Mujiu sent someone to leave a message for Ye Xiaohan, and then went to the Duke of Meng's residence herself.

Of course, she was not overwhelmed by anxiety and worry. While examining her grandfather, she did not forget to find out why he had suddenly become seriously ill. Was it an accident or something else?

Duke Meng looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years. He lay on the sickbed almost unconscious, having fallen into a state of near-death.

Meng Shihao and Yi Shi had already been crying their eyes out, and Meng Ninglang's eyes were also red.

Yun Muji wiped away her tears, which she couldn't hold back, and asked the people of the Duke of Meng's mansion what had happened.

Everyone said nothing special happened, except that this morning Duke Meng suddenly felt unwell, had chest pains, and then became like this.

Yun Mujiu usually kept some emergency medicines at the Duke Meng's mansion, but the Duke Meng's condition did not improve after taking the medicine.

Yun Mujiu diagnosed that Duke Meng was suffering from something similar to a heart attack, and his condition suddenly worsened.

Her medical skills are good, but some things cannot be perfectly solved simply by saying that she has good medical skills.

She can treat illnesses and prescribe medicine, but some illnesses cannot be cured simply by wanting to, just as even a miracle doctor cannot bring the dead back to life.

Yun Mujiu calmly said, "Grandfather suffered an acute myocardial infarction. His coronary artery ruptured, causing a blockage in the blood vessel and resulting in serious problems with his heart muscle."

"I'll prescribe some medication for my grandfather to relieve his chest pain and see if it can clear his blood vessels."

She turned around and told everyone to leave. She then opened the doctor system and examined her grandfather again. She even sent him to the system's hospital and put him on a ventilator to help him breathe and improve his oxygen deficiency.

After some maneuvering, Duke Meng's condition improved somewhat, but the overall situation was still not good.

The blood vessel blockage hasn't improved significantly. According to modern hospital standards, these patients are probably…

Yun Mujiu brought Duke Meng back to his sickbed and noticed that the old man had lost weight again after not seeing him for some time.

My maternal grandfather.

Yun Mujiu wept uncontrollably. She wasn't a crybaby, but her grandfather was in an accident, and she was terrified! Her heart ached terribly!

She went outside and met Du Ziheng and Fu Qian, who had been invited by someone.

"Take good care of your grandfather, I'm going up the mountain to get medicine."

"Your Highness, what medicine are you going to fetch?" Du Ziheng asked somewhat uneasily.

"The seven-colored elk, according to ancient books I've read, has antlers that are very effective in treating and repairing the heart and lungs." Perhaps this other world contains rare and exotic things, and also has medicinal value that transcends the modern world.

Yun Mujiu led a small group of people to search for the mountains where the spring outing banquet had been held in the southern suburbs of the capital. In the spring, she and Ye Xiaohan had rescued a seven-colored deer during a hunting competition.

Seven-colored deer, I saved you before, can you save me this time?

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and a cold wind swept through the mountains. Yun Mujiu and the others split up, anxiously searching for the seven-colored deer.

By evening, she was already in a sorry state, but thankfully she finally caught a glimpse of the colorful deer.

She used her lightness skill to chase after the deer, and finally grabbed its two antlers. Before she could inject the anesthetic, the deer swung her around and she almost fell off.

Yun Mujiu refused to let go and quickly injected the deer with an anesthetic. However, this was no ordinary substance, and the deer became even more agitated in an instant.

Yun Mujiu swayed and was about to fall. A strong gust of wind swept by, her waist tightened, and when she looked up, she found herself in a warm embrace.

"Your Highness!" Isn't Ye Xiaohan still in the military camp?

"Fool! Why did you come here by yourself?!" Doesn't that damned woman know it's dangerous?!

"I want to save my grandfather, sob sob."

"Don't cry, he'll be alright. Let's get the medicine together and go back," Ye Xiaohan assured him firmly.

As darkness fell, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu returned to the Duke of Meng's mansion. Yun Mujiu immediately prepared the deer antler into a medicinal soup and fed it to the Duke of Meng.

The medicine worked, and Duke Meng finally recovered and was able to speak to them again.

Yun Mujiu was almost moved to tears, tightly holding Ye Xiaohan's arm.

At the same time, they also found out why Duke Meng had suddenly run into trouble. It turned out that the Emperor's previous attempt to frame Yun Mujiu by arresting Meng Shihao had failed, so this time he turned to cooperating with Biluo's newly appointed Special Envoy Xin, giving Biluo an opportunity to take action.

When the imperial court bestowed rewards upon Meng Ninglang for his expedition, Envoy Xin disguised himself as a guard and sent a letter to Meng Guogong.

What he said was precisely what Yun Mujiu and Meng Ninglang had intentionally kept from the Duke of Meng. It concerned the past between the Duke of Meng, his wife He, and the Empress Dowager, an old friend of the Duke of Meng.

Duke Meng was surprised to learn that the Empress Dowager had once liked him, that the Empress Dowager and his wife had fallen out and become enemies because of him, and that his wife had mentioned the Empress Dowager before her death because she wanted to tell him something.

The Duke of Meng was provoked, which caused his blood to rush to his head, and if he couldn't hold on, he would suffer serious heart and lung problems.

After comforting Duke Meng, Yun Mujiu turned and left with Ye Xiaohan, leading a group of guards straight to the pavilion where Biluo Blood Killer was located.

This time, the couple demolished the building together. Yun Mujiu even personally beat Xue Xin half to death, and finally Ye Xiaohan executed Xue Xin with a single sword strike. Since the other party had come after their family who had harmed them, why should they let them off easily?

This large-scale killing operation also completely destroyed the last bit of Biluo Blood Killing in the Zhongyue Dynasty. Biluo Blood Killing was forced to withdraw half of its strength from the huge assassin market of Zhongyue, and was forever suppressed by Duohun Yuanxi, Mushi Jiuyouge and even the later Xianggenge.

The Emperor and Empress were furious upon hearing this! The Night King and his wife are getting more and more arrogant!

Two days later, the Night King and his wife, accompanied by a group of attendants, left the capital with the envoys of the Eastern Empire and headed north.

Ye Xiaohan thought to himself: Finally, I'm going to take Mu Jiu back to that home...
