The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu was stunned and looked up at Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan came to her side at some point and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears. His movements were very gentle, as if he was treating some treasure.

"My Lord, what did you call me?"

"Mu Mu." Ye Xiaohan answered while wiping Yun Mujiu's tears with his fingertips.

Yun Mujiu sniffed, "How do you know my nickname is 'Mumu'?"

Ye Xiaohan answered seriously: "I don't know what your nickname is, I just want to call you that."

Yun Mujiu thought of his life in the orphanage.

She had a friend in her childhood, but the orphanage was not good and the friend died of illness because he could not get treatment. The last words he said to her before he died were: "Mumu, take care of yourself in the future."

That was the first time her friend called her "Mu Mu" and also the last time.

Yun Mujiu felt a little uncomfortable and turned his head away: "Your Majesty, please call me 'Yun Mujiu'. I am more accustomed to calling my full name."

She was not used to Ye Xiaohan calling her by her nickname, and always felt that they had a very close relationship this way.

Ye Xiaohan was stunned, his hand frozen in the air. He retracted his hand, took out a white handkerchief from his bosom, and handed it over.

"Okay, I understand." He knew that Yun Mujiu had resentment in his heart, and he was willing to slowly repair their relationship.

Yun Mujiu took the handkerchief and wiped her face with it. After wiping her tears, Yun Mujiu put the handkerchief aside and ate the white rice quickly as if she was angry.

Just eat the rice without taking any other dishes.

Ye Xiaohan did not ask Yun Mujiu why she was crying. He turned his wheelchair and returned to its original position.

"Let's eat first." He deliberately pushed a few dishes in front of Yun Mujiu. The Ye Mansion had never deducted Yun Mujiu's food, so why was Yun Mujiu still as thin as when he first came?

Yun Mujiu noticed Ye Xiaohan's actions and picked up the food with chopsticks. With a glance, he found that the housekeeper Zeng and the servants who were serving the food had disappeared.

Huh…when did they go out?

It’s good that no one is here, this way Ye Xiaohan is the only one who sees my embarrassment!

"A-choo!" Butler Zeng outside the house suddenly sneezed. He touched his nose and said, "Is someone talking about me? Or is it too cold?"

Butler Zeng hugged his clothes tightly, happily thinking about the time when Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were alone. He brought people out on purpose!

Yun Mujiu sighed in his heart, "My Lord, I can get some food."

"Ah."

Afterwards, the two remained silent, each with their own thoughts, and finished their meal quietly.

The servants came in and cleared the table. Yun Mujiu drank some warm water and remembered something important. Although she didn't want to talk to Ye Xiaohan for the time being, she had to speak up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you," Yun Mujiu put down his teacup, "It has nothing to do with our relationship."

"What's the matter?"

"About the assassin who tried to kill me on my wedding day."

Ye Xiaohan also wanted to find time to tell Yun Mujiu, "I sent secret guards to smash the Soul Stealing Yuanxi signboard and found out that it was a figure in the palace..."

"The Queen?" Yun Mujiu asked tentatively.

Ye Xiaohan looked at him with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "How did you know?" He had been too busy these days and had not had time to tell Yun Mujiu about the latest clues he had found.

Yun Mujiu immediately replied: "I was just trying to guess. Your Majesty, you are the one who actually found out that it was the Queen who did it."

She recounted her previous speculations: "That day when Wei Bai left the mansion to stop Eunuch Li's carriage, I began to think in your medicinal bath room. Who would be able to secretly reveal the whereabouts of Doctor Wu to the emperor in a timely manner? Who would have information about Ye Mansion and the palace?"

"Plus, remembering the sterilization agate bracelet the Queen gave me, I focused my attention on the Queen."

Ye Xiaohan did not deny it. "Your speculation is reasonable. It was the Queen who secretly passed the news to the Emperor, and the Emperor immediately learned of the current existence of Doctor Wu and his daughter."

He looked at Yun Mujiu, "The Queen has been trying to stop Soul-stealing Yuanxi from investigating the case. Soul-stealing Yuanxi dared not interfere in the royal family's affairs. We found some clues before, but we could not completely confirm that it was the Queen, so we could not confirm the mastermind for a long time."

What was previously known was that the killer of the Biluo Blood Killing Organization was involved in the assassination, so he hired the people of the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi to investigate.

Yun Mujiu finished a glass of water, poured another one, and continued: "As far as I can remember, the Queen and I have no grudges against each other, and the Queen even owes me a favor. My mother once sacrificed herself to save the Queen when she was alive, so I was granted marriage to the Prince. But over the years, I feel that the Queen has always been indifferent to me, and we haven't had much contact."

Ye Xiaohan continued, "The Queen's mother's family is very powerful and has been firmly on the throne for many years. The cancellation of your engagement with the Crown Prince was also due to her."

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "With my previous image, the Queen would definitely not want to accept me. Fortunately, they don't want to, but I am even more unwilling! I will cancel this disgusting engagement myself!"

Before she came, the original owner had caused a lot of embarrassment because of her excessive pursuit of the prince. Under Yun Shirou's constant suppression, she took the initiative to speak in a fit of heat: "I feel that I am not worthy of the prince, and I request to cancel the engagement."

Ye Xiaohan pushed the wheelchair and sat closer to Yun Mujiu, "Fortunately, you came to the Ye Mansion. The prince is stupid and has no character. He is not worthy of you."

If Yun Mujiu's engagement had not been broken off, and if Ye Xiaohan's legs had not been disabled, the emperor would not have arranged a marriage between Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

In some mysterious way, everything seems to be predestined.

"The prince's character is not worthy of my eyes." Yun Mujiu put his hands on his waist, "The prince and Yun Shirou have hurt and humiliated me many times. I will definitely seek revenge on them."

Ye Xiaohan nodded in appreciation. Yun Mujiu was very similar to him in this respect - he would take revenge and would never show leniency.

Yun Mujiu said to himself, "However, if I am granted marriage to you, will the Queen feel embarrassed and want to find someone to kill me? After I die, everyone will completely forget about me and forget that the Crown Prince once had an engagement with an ugly girl like me with a bad image!"

Without waiting for Ye Xiaohan to answer, she shook her head, "It can't be such a simple reason. I always feel that the Queen wants to kill me for a deeper reason."

"Maybe it has something to do with your background? Your true background has not been clarified yet." Ye Xiaohan mentioned.

"Well, it may have something to do with my background."

Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu's face and said, "I have people still investigating your background, especially your mother's past with Yun Xiang..."

He remembered that time when Yun Shirou wanted to visit Ye Mansion, but was severely reprimanded by Yun Mujiu. Yun Shirou was angry and implied that Yun Mujiu did not know his own life experience.

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness. I will also investigate it slowly myself." When there is a chance to leave the house, he will go out to look for clues.

"Tomorrow, the secret guard who delivered the letter to Duke Meng will be back." Ye Xiaohan told Yun Mujiu in advance so that she could be mentally prepared. "He brought a reply letter."

"A reply?" Yun Mujiu was surprised. "My grandfather's family has never contacted me, but they replied to my letter. I just wrote him a letter for the first time."

"The secret guard sent a message using a carrier pigeon, saying that he did bring a reply letter, as well as some other items." The reply letter and the items were extremely important, and carrier pigeons couldn't carry heavy objects, so they had to wait for the secret guard to bring back everything in person.

"Okay! I understand." Yun Mujiu felt better and a smile appeared on his face.

When Ye Xiaohan saw her mood change, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
