The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu hesitated, "Are you sure you only want money and nothing else?"

The leader of the men in black said sternly: "We only want money, not your lives."

"Okay then." Yun Mujiu's affirmative voice came from inside the car.

Yun Mujiu picked up the medicine box and looked at the four maids with a firm look. When she turned around, the maids could not see the specific movements of her hands.

Yun Mujiu fiddled with it a little and took out a purse out of thin air from the outer layer of the medicine box. The purse was bulging, as if it contained something.

She put down the medicine box, held the cloth bag in one hand, and continued to lift the square table with the other hand. The other party had a bow and arrow, and she had a shielding tool in her hand, which could protect her safety for a while, and then she could respond accordingly.

Yun Mujiu walked through the carriage curtain and stood up straight.

"There's something you want in the bag."

Yun Mujiu threw the bag in the direction of the leader of the men in black.

The money bag drew a perfect parabola in the air, and all the men in black looked straight at the money bag.

The leader of the men in black grabbed the bag and opened it immediately.

"Hmm?" He hesitated and took out all the banknotes. The amount of the banknotes varied, most of them were small denominations, the largest was only one thousand taels. All the banknotes added up to no more than three thousand taels.

Yun Mujiu said leisurely: "Now that the money has been paid, let us go."

She usually put some banknotes in the doctor's system in case of emergency. Since they wanted money, it didn't matter if she gave them a little first.

She knew that the man in black wanted to take the huge amount of money she had obtained from the Yun Mansion, but she didn't want to give it and couldn't give it to him.

"No!" The leader of the men in black tied his thick eyebrows into a knot.

"What's the problem?" Yun Mujiu raised his lips and sneered.

“It’s too little money.”

"Oh?" The hand holding the table leg clenched, "How do you know how much money I brought? Are you sent by Prime Minister Yun?"

For a moment, a trace of panic flashed across the eyes of all the men in black, and then they regained their composure.

The leader of the men in black replied viciously: "Princess Ye, you don't have to guess so much, just give me the money honestly."

“If Prime Minister Yun hadn’t sent you here, you would have subconsciously denied it. But now you’re changing the subject…” Yun Mujiu calculated the time in his mind.

The leader of the men in black drew the sword at his waist and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Take out all the money!"

"Isn't there enough money?" Yun Mujiu asked. She was stalling for time. If she waited a little longer, the time would be up.

The man in black shouted impatiently: "Not enough!"

"Then pay with your life!" Yun Mujiu sneered and ordered his guards: "Go!"

At the same time, she threw out the square table, and shot out the poisonous flying needles hidden in her sleeves.

The man in black raised his bow and sword, but suddenly felt powerless and watched the flying needle pierce into his body.

The leader of the men in black murmured to Yun Mujiu, "How could this happen?" How could they suddenly lose their strength when they clearly did nothing.

Before Yun Mujiu could answer, eight guards flew forward and swung their swords, killing the men in black one by one and falling to the ground.

Yun Mujiu remained calm and turned her head to the side. She was in a good mood and didn't want to see too bloody scenes.

When the sound stopped, Yun Mujiu ordered: "Don't touch the money bag directly with your hands, it's poisonous." There was poisonous powder on the surface of the money bag. When the bag was thrown out just now, the men in black inhaled the colorless and odorless powder.

A guard picked up the money bag with the hilt of his sword and brought it to Yun Mujiu. Yun Mujiu took a large handkerchief to wrap the money bag and was about to turn around and walk into the carriage.

"Mu Jiu! Mu Jiu!" A voice came from afar.

Yun Mujiu became alert, as she had never heard this voice before.

A man ran over from the end of the street, shouting Yun Mujiu's name enthusiastically.

The two guards raised their swords and tried to stop them, but the young man stopped and explained hastily, "Cousin! It's me!"

Yun Mujiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the man. He had a handsome face and clear eyes, looking like a cheerful young man.

The young man took out a jade pendant from his arms, on which were engraved two large characters: Meng Mansion.

He smiled innocently, "Cousin, it's me!"

Yun Mujiu thought for a moment and said, "Let him come over."

The two guards put down their swords and turned to clean up the scene.

The young man ran to the front of the carriage, and Yun Mujiu looked down at him.

"Are you Meng Ninglang?" In the last letter her grandfather wrote to her, he mentioned that her uncle Meng Shihao had an only son named Meng Ninglang, who was seventeen years old.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The young man smiled. "Cousin, it's me! Last time, my grandfather asked someone to bring you a Pisces jade pendant, a gold hairpin, and some land deeds."

Yun Mujiu was a little surprised. Wasn't the Meng Mansion far away in the border area? How could Meng Ninglang suddenly appear in the capital?

There was no time to think about it, Yun Mujiu was afraid that others would know that Meng Ninglang returned to Beijing early.

"Come up quickly. Don't let anyone see you."

Meng Ninglang saw Yun Mujiu's stern look and got into the car obediently. Yun Mujiu followed him in.

At this time, two large carriages arrived here, with the personal guards from the Ye Mansion sitting inside.

When the personal guards in the Ye Mansion saw that Yun Mujiu's carriage did not return on time, they knew that a robbery had occurred as expected, and immediately sent a small team to respond.

After the scene was cleaned up, they put the body on a cart on the side of the road, leaving a few guards to handle the follow-up matters.

In the dark corner of a roof on the street, two men were hiding. One was a young man with thick eyebrows, and the other was a boy with thin eyebrows, wearing black gauze on their faces.

The thin-browed man said, "Brother, before we even made a move, Princess Ye had already killed the assassin."

The thick-browed man replied, "I didn't expect Princess Ye to be so powerful. It's just right, we don't have to take action."

"Brother, can we still get our reward from the Night King?"

"We failed to complete the mission, so we probably won't be able to receive it. Besides, I'm embarrassed to receive it! We can just make up for the mission assigned by the Night King next time."

"Well... I have my brother to support me anyway, hehe..."

Yun Mujiu took a carriage back home and introduced Meng Ninglang to Chunlan and the others.

"This is my cousin, Meng Ninglang."

Chunlan and the others leaned over and greeted Meng Ninglang with a smile.

Meng Ninglang smiled back, then looked at Yun Mujiu and said, "I didn't know you had changed so much."

He has always lived in the borderland, but he has heard some of Yun Mujiu's dark history.

Yun Mujiu felt that this cousin whom she had never met before was very familiar, and she glanced at Meng Ninglang.

"I'm older than you. You haven't met me yet and don't know me. How dare you say such words in the tone of an elder."

"Cousin, I know something about you. Grandpa and my parents know too."

Yun Mujiu was stunned and asked, "Did you get in touch with the Yun Mansion?"

Meng Ninglang nodded, "When you were a child, we exchanged letters with the Yun family for a period of time, but after that, our contacts became very rare. I only occasionally learned about your recent situation when I sent silver bills to Prime Minister Yun."

Yun Mujiu was dumbfounded. Many of her guesses were confirmed.

She had received a reply from the Meng family before, and the people in the Meng family did not resist her, but were very enthusiastic.

She guessed that Yun Xiang and Ye Shi had temporarily spared her life, perhaps because they received benefits from the Meng Mansion from time to time, so they did not dare or were reluctant to kill her all at once.
