The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu maintained her calmness and looked directly into Ye Xiaohan's dark pupils. Seeing Ye Xiaohan's deep eyes, she asked with certainty: "Could it be that I really talked in my sleep?"

Ye Xiaohan nodded and said, "I said a few words."

Yun Mujiu was startled and said, "Sometimes I am too tired and may talk nonsense in my sleep. If Your Majesty hears it, please ignore it."

Ye Xiaohan's heart sank even more. Yun Mujiu still refused to tell him anything.

"Then Mu Mu had a nightmare, not something he had experienced, right?"

Yun Mujiu's heart suddenly tightened.

Ye Xiaohan once said that he hated being betrayed. Although she did not betray Ye Xiaohan, it was difficult for her to lie to him like before, because their relationship had gone a step further.

Looking at Ye Xiaohan's serious gaze, Yun Mujiu's brain was working rapidly, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he looked like he was reminiscing.

She quickly replied, "Half yes, half no. Some of the contents of the dream are projections of my real world, while some are completely false."

Ye Xiaohan questioned her, maybe she heard some crucial words in her sleep? Now she definitely couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

Yun Mujiu asked: "Does Your Majesty still remember what I said in my dream?"

Ye Xiaohan didn't think twice and directly repeated Yun Mujiu's dream talk last night in full.

Yun Mujiu was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Xiaohan to hear so many words. How should she respond now?

Yun Mujiu paced, thinking, and said, "I have indeed been betrayed and hurt, so I said words to scold the traitor in my dream. I was born in the Yun Mansion, but the Yun Mansion made things difficult for me everywhere. The prince and Yun Shirou also harmed me."

"As for my fiancé, he's the one I was betrothed to when I was a child." Yun Mujiu said this with reservation, and others would usually think he was the prince.

In fact, what she said was not wrong. Whether in her past life or this life, the scumbag Li Zi'ao and the prince Ye Chu'ao were both her "fiancés" in the fake engagement. Moreover, these two people look exactly the same and can be regarded as the same person to a certain extent.

So this statement is not a lie, it’s just not expressed very clearly.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan's usual indifferent expression and continued, "Li Zi'ao is actually the crown prince Ye Chu'ao, and Wang Shirou is Yun Shirou. I hate them in my heart, so I occasionally have chaotic dreams. Some of the content in the dreams will be illogical, and it is normal to have mixed names."

She didn't dare to say where the real Li Zi'ao and Wang Shirou came from, and what happened between them and her.

Alas, as expected, if you carry a secret on your body, you have to use countless helpless "lies" to cover up that secret.

When will she and Ye Xiaohan be able to truly commit to each other?

Ye Xiaohan's eyes were calm as he looked calmly at the desk piled with official documents.

No matter how well Yun Mujiu concealed his expression or how precise his wording was, he could not hide from Ye Xiaohan's sharp insight and intuition.

Ye Xiaohan listened to Yun Mujiu's cautious explanation and the sound of Yun Mujiu's somewhat messy pacing without saying a word.

Yun Mujiu sighed inaudibly in his heart, turned to look at Ye Xiaohan, and forced a smile: "My Lord, do you want to know more about the content of my dream last night?"

Ye Xiaohan looked back, "No need. I understand."

Yun Mujiu breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject. "Ye Chuhe was poisoned last night. We did not speak out our analysis and inference at the scene, and the emperor and empress also wanted to suppress the matter and investigate it privately. Now I want to tell the prince about my personal analysis."

"When I was giving Ye Chuhe acupuncture, I occasionally smelled a faint scent of incense on his sleeves. The smell was very faint, and I think it was because Ye Chuhe had just touched something not long ago, so he had a temporary odor on his body. Ye Chuhe was weak and cold, and it was spring time. He probably used a hand warmer before the poison took effect, and the spices burned in the warmer contained poison."

"The person behind the poisoning of Ye Chuhe was very cautious. He must have started from Ye Chufeng's daily habits and tampered with the spices in the hand warmer. When Ye Chuhe inhaled too much poison gas, he would naturally be poisoned."

Ye Xiaohan said to Yun Mujiu: "Your reasoning is correct. The clue I found is that someone has been tampering with the spices supplied to Ye Chuhe by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance, and it has been going on for several days."

"As expected!" Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up. "Since the mastermind secretly dispatched people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she must be someone extraordinary. Concubine Yu and the Queen have been having a bad time recently. The mastermind is the Queen, right?"

Ye Xiaohan nodded, looking at Yun Mujiu's excitement at having given the correct answer, and said helplessly: "You can go and be a secret guard."

Yun Mujiu spread his hands a little embarrassedly, "It's just a small deduction! Professional things should be done by professionals. The prince and your Hanying Guards have woven a powerful information network."

"Mu Mu did a great job." Ye Xiaohan glanced at a piece of paper on the table and said, "The Emperor could not have imagined that the Queen would do such a cruel thing. In addition, the Queen had made preparations in advance, so the Dragon Staff Guards might have misidentified the mastermind behind the incident."

Yun Mujiu nodded in understanding, "But I believe the queen won't escape so easily..."

"Well, Yefu can just watch their internal fighting..."

After Yun Mujiu finished chatting with Ye Xiaohan, he took Ye Xiaohan's pulse and checked the condition of his leg muscles, and then returned to Qichiyuan.

Ye Xiaohan continued to handle official business, but when he thought of Yun Mujiu's explanation of his sleep talking, his brows furrowed slightly and the grip on the brush in his hand tightened.

With a sound of "crack", the fine green jade phoenix pattern brush shattered into powder and floated in the air.

Ye Xiaohan's eyes froze at this point.

Ye Xiaohan didn't think that Yun Mujiu was really stupid enough to let the Yun family and others bully him for eighteen years. He also found it hard to believe that Yun Mujiu became so powerful just by learning Kung Fu from an unknown old man for a few years...

He knew that Yun Mujiu had a personal secret, and he had been trying to understand and tolerate it. However, too many doubts about Yun Mujiu kept emerging, and it was still difficult to get a reasonable explanation.

He always likes to have firm control in his hands and doesn't like too much uncertainty.

A person's strength and confidence lie in the strength of his sovereignty.

It was acceptable for Yun Mujiu to have a few secrets, but if there were too many secrets, he would feel vaguely uneasy, and his heart would be filled with unspeakable emotions...

Yun Mujiu changed into men's clothes and went out of the house again to do business.

The carriage stopped at the end of a street in the capital, and in front of it stood the building of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi organization.

The last time she came to the Soul-stealing Yuanxi, she ordered a batch of needles and various small weapons.

Yun Mujiu asked the others to wait where they were and went into the house alone.

Seeing Yun Mujiu as a noble young man, the waiter approached him and greeted him warmly: "Young Master, what can I do for you?"

Yun Mujiu looked around the room with his hands behind his back, "Is Shopkeeper Duan here?"

The waiter's eyes sparkled, "So you are a regular customer. I will ask the shopkeeper to come out right away."

As soon as the words fell, a burly middle-aged man rushed up. He looked at Yun Mujiu with eagle eyes, hesitated for a moment, then raised his fist, "Mr. Mu, you are here."

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, "Manager Zhang, do you still remember me?"

The shopkeeper of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi has very sharp eyes. Last time she came out dressed as a woman and wore a veil, but the shopkeeper Zhang recognized her with just his eyes.

"Mr. Mu is a handsome man, generous and generous. I am impressed." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, thinking of the exquisite weapon blueprints that Yun Mujiu brought last time. Unfortunately, Mr. Mu did not allow the blueprints to be passed on to others, so they could only look at them.

Yun Mujiu handed over a blueprint and asked, "Can you make these things?"
