The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The next morning, Yun Mujiu was carried out of bed by Ye Xiaohan, looking completely listless.

Ye Xiaohan held Yun Mujiu with a mixture of amusement and heartache, and finally carried her back on his back.

As they left the palace, a booming sound echoed behind them.

The enormous palace sank back into the ground, and the open spaces on both sides closed up again, with water ripples rising up.

They returned by the same route and reunited with Jin Xiangwei a day later.

Two days later, the group returned to the place where they had parted ways with the Japanese envoys and reunited.

Ye Xiaohan coldly questioned the panicked envoys, "Where have you all run off to? My men have been looking for you for days."

The envoys were utterly horrified and could only bow their heads and admit their mistake.

After finishing typing, Ye Xiaohan rested for a day and set off again.

He redesigned the carriage so that Yun Mujiu could lie on the soft fur.

Yun Mu Jiu Jiao, as delicate as a little white rabbit, was annoyed that someone had no restraint after eating meat for the first time.

Ye Xiaohan's dark eyes held a hint of grievance as he explained, "I'm hungry." It was his fault for letting this little white rabbit keep starving him.

"Get away!" Yun Mujiu rolled over and faced the wall without saying a word.

Ye Xiaohan chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

After more than a month, they finally arrived at Red Phoenix City, crossed the border, and then entered the border of the Eastern Empire.

Many key passageways between Zhongyue and the East are located on the Yangtze River.

They boarded a large ship sent by the Eastern Empire and arrived at a small border town of the Eastern Empire in less than half a day.

Seven days later, after passing through layers of checkpoints, the Night King and his party successfully arrived at the capital of the Eastern Empire, causing quite a stir.

People were astonished to see the renowned War God Prince and Divine Healer from the Star Moon Continent, and everyone was eager to take a look.

The bustling streets of the capital were filled with onlookers from Japan.

That evening, Ye Xiaohan and his group of Zhong Yue people checked into the post station in the capital.

The Japanese emperor did not summon them immediately, but instead allowed them to rest at the post station.

On the second night, a group of assassins broke into the inn and attacked Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, but they were all captured. Under interrogation, Ye Xiaohan discovered that they were assassins sent by the Biluo Blood Killing Clan, who harbored extreme hatred for them and wanted to settle both old and new scores at once.

However, he was no match for Night King alone. Ye Xiaohan, by himself, took down several assassins with the strength of Martial Gods.

The people of the capital were astonished, and even the Emperor of Japan was amazed. Only now did they truly realize that Regent Zhongyue was indeed so powerful that he could fight multiple martial gods one-on-one.

Ye Xiaohan's release of the news that Biluo had murdered and attacked Prince Zhongyue's wife drew public condemnation. To save face, the Japanese imperial family had no choice but to avenge Ye Xiaohan and severely punish Biluo's main organization in the Japanese Empire.

...

Shen Aozhen, the head of the prominent Shen family from the East, brought Tao Tao to visit Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

Then, the Pavilion Master Qian suddenly appeared at the post station and greeted them with a smile.

Shen Aozhen and Pavilion Master Qian warned them, "Be careful of the First Prince Huangfu Gong and the Second Prince Huangfu Xu. The First Prince is the son of the Empress, holding a high position and wielding great power, and is ruthless and arrogant. The Second Prince is the son of a concubine, and is treacherous and cunning."

"The one who is opposed to these two princes is the sixth prince, Huangfu Zhou, the son of a favored concubine. He is quite steady and perhaps worth befriending."

...

As Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu saw off the Shen family, they ran into the Japanese Yu family, who wanted to curry favor with them.

The Yu family had initially collaborated with Wanyan Sen, sending a group of assassins to infiltrate Zhongyue and search for the spiritual veins. However, they were all discovered and dealt with by Ye Xiaohan. The Japanese assassins at the time bore the Yu family's seven-leaf clover emblem.

Furthermore, the Yu family has a daughter who is a concubine of the Second Prince, which shows that the Yu family is aligned with the Second Prince and the First Prince.

In addition, Ye Xiaohan recently seriously injured the First Prince and the Second Prince who came to the border of Zhongyue, which can be regarded as him unilaterally breaking off relations with these people and starting a war.

Yun Mujiu understood, "The Yu family definitely has no peace of mind."

"Ignore them, they are nothing to fear." Ye Xiaohan ordered the Golden Guards to drive away the Yu family.

The powerful families and factions in the capital were shocked. How could a prince like Zhong Yue have such a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Shen family? And how could he also have dealings with the leader of the Soul-Stealing Iris Pavilion?

Moreover, Prince Zhongyue is extremely arrogant and doesn't even respect the Yu family, a mid-sized aristocratic clan!

Many spies sensed the underlying arrogance of Ye Xiaohan and dared not act rashly for a moment.

Yes, so what if the Eastern Empire is the most powerful? The Night King is still the regent of a powerful nation. Ordinary Eastern subjects are nothing in the eyes of the God of War, the Night King.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu rested at the post station for three days before the Japanese emperor summoned them to court to offer their advice.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu saw many unfamiliar faces, as well as a few familiar ones.

Shen Aozhen originally acted as the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Later, after her son went missing, she divorced her husband, an ordinary prince from Japan, and became the head of the Shen family. Recently, she found her missing son and also found her daughter who had been living away from home.

Upon returning to the Eastern Empire, she immediately began her revenge. Her ex-husband had died of illness, but the prince's concubines and family were still alive.

Fortunately, this prince was not of royal blood, but a descendant of a former general who was granted the title of king by a different surname. His family background was not a threat.

Furthermore, blood ties are not a cause for concern.

Because Shen Aozhen also discovered her true identity at this time. It turned out that she was the real royal bloodline of the Eastern Empire. She was a royal princess who had been lost abroad.

After taking revenge on her enemies, Shen Aozhen transformed herself into a powerful princess who could appear in the imperial court.

At this moment, the familiar face that Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu saw was none other than the princess of the Eastern Empire.

In addition, they also saw the eldest prince Huangfu Gong and the second prince Huangfu Xu, who both looked hostile, as well as the sixth prince Huangfu Zhou, who showed them goodwill.

Emperor Huangfu Pu of the Eastern Ocean had a solemn face, full of murderous intent.

He questioned Ye Xiaohan about why he killed the Martial Emperor of the Western Barbarians and seriously injured a group of Martial Emperors and Martial Kings of the Western Barbarians. He also questioned why Ye Xiaohan, whose strength far exceeded that of a Martial Emperor, appeared on the battlefield. He further questioned Ye Xiaohan's ability to take down multiple Martial God assassins by himself at the post station!
