The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan thought: Yun Mujiu wouldn’t be the kind of person who would collude with others secretly.

Therefore, he did not continue to talk about Ye Chufeng, but just said lightly: "This king knows, go back and rest."

Yun Mujiu didn't move, and raised his eyebrows: "I won't."

Ye Xiaohan was slightly surprised. Yun Mujiu was so "arrogant" now. He said coldly: "You are weak and injured, why stay here!"

Yun Mujiu didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "I want to find out if there's anything wrong with the medicinal bath."

Ye Xiaohan's face was cold, "Have you found any clues?" Emotionally, he believed Yun Mujiu. Intellectually, Yun Mujiu was not completely free of suspicion.

Yun Mujiu shook his head and said frankly: "Your Highness, I know that everyone is more or less suspicious of me. My promise is useless. Since I promised to treat you, I will never harm you. Now that I have become a 'sinner', I want to find out the truth as soon as possible and clear my name."

After glancing at Ye Xiaohan's expression, he added, "Doesn't the prince also not fully trust me in his heart?"

Ye Xiaohan remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

Yun Mujiu smoothed the short hair beside his ears and sighed barely audible.

"Your Majesty, our initial covenant said that I would detoxify you and heal your legs. During this time, you would protect my life, and I would be free after the task was completed. On the day of the herbal bath, I swore that there was definitely something wrong with the bath. I risked my life to stop the bath and save you."

"Although you didn't fully recover in the end, what I did for you was equivalent to saving your life, which is enough to repay you for all the help and kindness you have shown me."

Yun Mujiu smiled indifferently, "So, once the matter of the medicinal bath is investigated, our contract will end. I have redressed the injustice, and you can hire another doctor to continue the follow-up treatment."

She emphasized, "From now on, you and I owe each other nothing, and we go our separate ways."

With a "bang", Ye Xiaohan angrily slammed the table with his big hand, and the tabletop made a "creaking" sound, and cracks spread out. He was very angry, but he would not attack Yun Mujiu.

"Yun Mujiu! Do you really want to leave Ye Mansion?"

"Ye Xiaohan! What is my reason for staying in the Ye Mansion?" She had asked Ye Xiaohan before, but Ye Xiaohan did not give her a positive response.

It was because Ye Xiaohan was in a high position and she came from the rival Yun Mansion; it was because she concealed the matter about Ye Chufeng that Ye Xiaohan became suspicious.

As for any other reasons why Ye Xiaohan had, she didn't know either.

Ye Xiaohan recalled the panic and torment he felt when he saw Yun Mujiu injured. He stared at Yun Mujiu with his eyes wide open, causing Yun Mujiu to start to lose his composure.

"Just think of it as staying for me."

Ye Xiaohan repeated: "Yun Mujiu, stay for me."

He had been so proud all his life, but this was the first time he said such words.

Yun Mujiu was in a daze and almost thought she had heard it wrong at first. It was only when she heard Ye Xiaohan repeat the second sentence that she realized she had not heard it wrong.

Yun Mujiu sighed, "You know the current situation between us..." Ye Xiaohan was reluctant to let her go, but he didn't completely believe her.

"My Lord, let's stop talking and start investigating the case!"

After finding out the truth, there is no barrier between the two, no worries, and they can open their hearts and talk to each other. They can truly face, treat, and deal with the relationship between them.

To be honest, she had complaints against Ye Xiaohan. After all, her injury was also related to Ye Xiaohan. The most important thing was that Ye Xiaohan didn't believe her! He also locked her up in the woodshed, causing her to almost die, and then put her under house arrest in Qichiyuan.

She now didn't know how to deal with the development of her relationship with Ye Xiaohan. Anyway, she felt resentful in her heart!

"Your Highness..." There were footsteps outside the door. It was Butler Zeng and Wei Song and Wei Bai who came back.

Ye Xiaohan took a deep look at Yun Mujiu and gave in: "Okay."

Yun Mujiu has a stubborn personality. Since she feels that she is capable of doing things, let her do it.

In addition, what she said - that we can talk about the next step only after the problem is solved - is indeed true and has some truth to it.

Zeng, the housekeeper, Chunlan and Xiahe came in and greeted Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu. Wei Song stood behind Wei Bai, not daring to look directly at Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu sneered in his heart: Wei Song will soon suffer a lot.

Ye Xiaohan said, "The princess wants to investigate the case together, and everyone must cooperate."

Everyone looked slightly surprised but didn't say much.

Ye Xiaohan looked at the round table not far away and ordered, "Take the bag down."

"You should have all noticed the unusual behavior of Eunuch Li and Doctor Shi."

Butler Zeng, Wei Song and Wei Bai nodded.

The guards entered with the bundle. When Eunuch Li and Doctor Shi heard the words "wooden box" and "medicine", they subconsciously looked at the bundle. Then, they glanced at the bundle on the table. Eunuch Li even wanted to test the situation of the medicine in the Ye Mansion's warehouse before leaving.

All signs indicate that Eunuch Li and Doctor Shi seem to be particularly concerned about the medicinal materials of the Ye Mansion, and their behavior also represents the emperor's intention. In order to prepare for the medicinal bath, the Ye Mansion has ordered several batches of medicinal materials from outside the mansion.

It seems that the emperor and his people may also have some interests in herbs.

Yun Mujiu had good observation skills, so he naturally noticed the abnormalities of Eunuch Li and Doctor Shi.

She and Ye Xiaohan had provoked Doctor Shi's treatment, and Doctor Shi and Eunuch Li became nervous. Even though Doctor Shi and Eunuch Li tried not to show their concern for the wooden box of medicinal materials, they were so nervous that they could not control their micro-expressions and movements, which exposed the truth.

Ye Xiaohan analyzed: "There are currently two routes, one is the emperor, and the other is Wu the Divine Doctor and his daughter."

He turned sideways and said to Yun Mujiu, "On the day of the incident, the secret guards took advantage of the absence of Doctor Wu and his daughter to secretly check Chenxiang Courtyard. They found nothing unusual. Everything was as usual."

Yun Mujiu nodded and suggested, "I'll check it myself."

"Dr. Wu and his daughter are still hiding in the dark room and have not come out yet. Now is the right time." Ye Xiaohan informed of the rest of the situation.

"Well, that's good. Your Majesty, please ask Doctor Fu and Fu Qian to go with you. They also know medical skills and may be able to make some new discoveries."

Ye Xiaohan nodded, "There is a sedan chair outside the house, no need to walk there."

Yun Mujiu didn't try to be brave, "Thank you."

Ye Xiaohan asked again: "Is it okay?" Doctor Fu said that Yun Mujiu was seriously injured, and he also smelled a faint smell of blood.

Yun Mujiu couldn't help laughing: "It's OK, I won't die." She didn't say the second half of the sentence. She asked Chunlan to take out a bottle of medicine, poured out three anti-inflammatory and analgesic pills, and swallowed them directly with tea.

Everyone in the room frowned at the same time, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Ye Xiaohan looked at the porcelain bottle and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine," Yun Mujiu said calmly, "There is no time to lose, let's go over there quickly."

Chunlan and Xiahe helped Yun Mujiu get up from his chair. Yun Mujiu staggered like an old man. This was the scene Ye Xiaohan saw when he turned around.

He turned the wheelchair and came to Yun Mujiu. He gently embraced Yun Mujiu with one hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.
