The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief, his eyes full of doubt: "Why did the Seventh Prince say these words on purpose?"

She had no relationship with the Seventh Prince. There was no need for the Seventh Prince to talk to Ye Xiaohan for her.

"I don't want you to be misunderstood. I know you saved me with good intentions." Ye Chufeng replied.

Ye Xiaohan was a cautious person, and Yun Mujiu had no intention of getting involved with him while staying in Ye Mansion. In order to prevent Ye Xiaohan from doubting or despising Yun Mujiu, he had to explain to Ye Xiaohan.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan and said to the Seventh Prince: "It's okay, the prince and I are on good terms, the Seventh Prince doesn't need to explain."

"Are you serious about what the Imperial Aunt said?" Ye Chufeng was worried, and then realized that his actions were inappropriate, so he said, "The Imperial Aunt was kind enough to save me, and I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Yun Mujiu did not blame Chu Feng for showing up at the gate of Ye Mansion the other night, which led to Ye Xiaohan discovering that she had concealed something.

Yun Mujiu said calmly: "Really."

Ye Chufeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not implicate Yun Mujiu.

He bowed to Ye Xiaohan and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry! I was so abrupt."

"So, you came here specifically for Yun Mujiu?" Ye Xiaohan's eyes were full of inquiry.

"Yes and no, I'm here for the Emperor's uncle and aunt." Ye Chufeng said this in an official manner, taking both sides into consideration, leaving no room for fault.

"Heh, I didn't know when you started to care so much about Yefu."

"The Queen's aunt saved me, so I won't be an enemy of the Ye Mansion." Ye Chufeng answered simply. Even if Yun Mujiu wasn't there, he never thought of harming Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Chufeng was still worried and wanted to ask, "Aunt, are you used to living in the Ye Mansion?" He was mindful of his status and seniority, so he couldn't ask like that. He could only say in a tactful way, "Uncle, Aunt is not in good health. We still need to take good care of her."

Ye Xiaohan had a keen intuition. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He said in a cold voice, "Yun Mujiu is from the Ye Mansion."

What I mean is, you, Ye Chufeng, are just a prince and have nothing to do with the Ye Mansion. What qualifications do you have to point fingers here?

"Cough cough..." Yun Mujiu covered his mouth and coughed lightly to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere in the room.

Why did she feel that there was a discord between Ye Xiaohan and Ye Chufeng? Logically speaking, these two people had always kept to themselves!

The two men looked at her at the same time and her face turned slightly red.

Ye Xiaohan's tone was no longer cold, "But what's wrong?"

Ye Chufeng's voice was no longer calm, "It's all my fault for delaying Aunt Huang's rest. I'll take my leave immediately."

Yun Mujiu waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. I choked accidentally." She picked up the teacup on the table and raised it to her face to hide her momentary embarrassment.

Ye Xiaohan was a little restless, but his face showed no emotion: "Why do you care how the Ye family treats Yun Mujiu?" Does he need to tell a little prince to take good care of his princess?

"If the Ye Mansion can't take good care of her, there's no need for the Imperial Aunt to suffer here." Ye Chufeng said fearlessly, risking his life: "If the Imperial Aunt doesn't live well, maybe someone will take her away."

That person is him.

"Who do you think you are?" Ye Xiaohan sneered, "Let me see who dares to risk his life!"

Yun Mujiu was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, she felt that these two men were strange, and Ye Chufeng seemed to be particularly concerned about her. Putting down the teacup, she suddenly asked, "Seventh Prince, have we met before?"

Ye Chufeng turned his head away, not daring to look directly at Yun Mujiu. His heart was pounding. Did Yun Mujiu recognize him?

Yun Mujiu said again: "Seventh Prince, I don't think I have seen you before."

Ye Chufeng felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick, and his head was buzzing.

Ye Xiaohan shot a cold light at Ye Chufeng, "What is your relationship with her?"

"Replying to the Emperor's uncle, I have no relationship with the Emperor's aunt. I met the Emperor's aunt when I was a child, but we didn't have much contact." Ye Chufeng didn't want to lie to Yun Mujiu, nor did he want Ye Xiaohan to suspect his relationship with Yun Mujiu, so he chose to be honest. "I came to the Ye Mansion just to meet the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

In fact, there was only one person he wanted to see, but it was not good to just say that he wanted to see Yun Mujiu, so it would be better to include Ye Xiaohan. He had to protect Yun Mujiu's reputation.

Yun Mujiu suddenly realized.

No wonder Ye Chufeng trusted her so much when she first met him. When someone threw darts to attack the people in Ye's mansion, he showed up to save her.

But she couldn't think of any memory about Ye Chufeng? Was she too young to remember, or was she missing a part of her memory?

"Seventh Prince, I don't remember ever meeting you."

"Maybe it's been too long. It's okay, it's not important." Ye Chufeng wanted to laugh, but didn't want to make his relationship with Ye Xiaohan too tense, so he could only curl the corners of his lips slightly.

He suddenly stood up and bowed to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu: "Uncle, Aunt, the palace carriage is still waiting for me outside the door. Due to time constraints, I can only take my leave first."

Yun Mujiu nodded, and Ye Xiaohan shouted, "Someone show the guests away."

Butler Zeng and several guards appeared at the door, ready to send Ye Chufeng away. They said "send", but in fact they were guarding him to prevent outsiders from causing any trouble in Ye's mansion.

Ye Chufeng smiled at Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu: "I will come to see the emperor's uncle and aunt next time I have a chance."

He turned and walked away, and heard Ye Xiaohan behind him say lightly: "Don't come." Ye Chufeng paused, then strode out.

The first time I dealt with Ye Xiaohan, I felt that he seemed to be a nice person! But he was a little unfriendly to me!

Ye Chufeng and Cang Feng walked very quickly. When they arrived at the gate of Ye Mansion, they saw Eunuch Li with an anxious look on his face.

Eunuch Li saw Ye Chufeng and nodded in greeting: "Seventh Prince, you are out."

"Well," Ye Chufeng nodded, "Hurry back to the palace and report to father."

Everyone in the Ye Mansion stood at the door and watched as a group of young eunuchs walked towards their carriage.

Eunuch Li followed Ye Chufeng to the carriage and asked in a low voice: "Seventh Prince, what is your intention for staying here suddenly?"

It was not in the plan to leave the Seventh Prince alone!

Ye Chufeng glanced at Eunuch Li and said mysteriously, "Eunuch Li, keep it a secret. Anyway, it's related to the mission."

Yes! Father said that he would find ways to learn more about Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's health. He did it! He just stayed here to deal with his personal affairs and also asked about Yun Mujiu's health - although he didn't get any useful information. It didn't matter if he didn't get any information. He didn't intend to help father deal with Ye Mansion.

Eunuch Li was delighted. That's fine! As long as the Seventh Prince didn't cause any trouble!

In the main hall of the Ye Mansion, Ye Xiaohan took off his golden mask, revealing a handsome face.

"Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, I can't remember ever meeting Ye Chufeng when I was a child. He and I only have a doctor-patient relationship."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan responded. The secret guards investigated Yun Mujiu and indeed did not find any clues that Ye Chufeng had any contact with Yun Mujiu.

Either they had only had a fleeting glimpse of each other, or the process of their acquaintance was so secret that others had no way of finding out and could not find out.
