The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

On this day, due to the recurrence of Yun Mujiu's old illness, the Ye Mansion officially announced to the public that it would be closed for seven days and no one was allowed to come or go.

Herb Hall was operating as normal, but Yun Mujiu was no longer there as usual.

At first, the crowd did not react much to this statement. Previously, the Ye Mansion had been closed for a period of time because Yun Mujiu was seriously ill. When they heard that Yun Mujiu was ill again, they did not feel surprised or confused.

Even if some suspicious people doubted the truth behind the closure of the Ye Mansion, once they thought of Yun Mujiu's terrible illness at the palace banquet, they immediately dispelled many of their doubts. Besides, even if some people didn't believe it, what could they do? Do they have the courage and strength to force their way into the gate of the Ye Mansion?

Yun Mujiu, as a doctor, cannot cure her own illness. It seems that her illness is really very serious!

When Duke Meng and his family heard the news released by the Ye Mansion, they were worried, but they still sent Meng Ninglang to try to send some supplements to the Ye Mansion to express their condolences.

Considering that the Ye Mansion was closed, Meng Ninglang simply took the gifts and stood at the door, intending to deliver the gifts and then leave.

However, the Ye Mansion's personal guards still politely declined Meng Ninglang's offer. After all, "closing the mansion" means completely closing off the mansion from inside to outside, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

Meng Ninglang was slightly disappointed, but he could understand it, so he turned around and went back to the Meng Mansion.

After returning to the Meng Mansion and meeting Duke Meng, Meng Ninglang smiled and said, "Grandfather, I have done everything. Many people on the streets near the Ye Mansion saw my visit."

Duke Meng nodded calmly, "Well done."

Yesterday, Wei Bai came to Duke Meng's house and brought a message, saying that Yun Mujiu has been quite busy recently and will show up again after some time, so Duke Meng does not need to worry.

Duke Meng guessed that Yun Mujiu had something important to do. Yun Mujiu didn't say much, and he wouldn't ask too many questions.

The Meng Mansion cooperated with the Ye Mansion to stage a drama, proving that the statement that Yun Mujiu was seriously ill and locked himself in was true. Even relatives from his grandfather's family were unable to enter the Ye Mansion.

When Yun Xiang and his family learned that the Ye Mansion was closed and Meng Ninglang was turned away, their already depressed and gloomy mood immediately brightened up a bit.

Yun Xiang sighed in his heart: This is such rare good news!

However, he was very suspicious and did not completely believe the Ye Mansion's excuse for closing the house, so he chose to rush into the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.

Ye and Yun Shirou secretly rejoiced that the poison they had given Yun Mujiu for many years had finally caused her to suffer from the disease. How long could Yun Mujiu be so arrogant? How could her empty body not consume her energy and spirit that she had painstakingly accumulated?

Death from illness was a matter of time for Yun Mujiu...

Ye Chufeng left the palace and did a lot of things outside. When he returned to the tavern where he liked to stay recently, he found that Yun Mujiu was not in the Herb Hall today.

Many kindhearted people came to the Herb Hall to inquire about Yun Mujiu's health. Yun Mujiu was kind and had opened a good medicine shop. Those who had previously misunderstood Yun Mujiu as a wicked woman and a fool felt guilty, and with admiration for Yun Mujiu's strength and character, they rushed all the way to the Herb Hall to express their concern.

Ye Chufeng sat there for a while, and he could hear the people on the street talking about Ye Mansion.

Oh? Yun Mujiu is seriously ill again. Maybe she had a relapse at the palace banquet and her condition got worse?

Ye Chufeng stared at the Herb Hall opposite, his eyes surging with fluctuations.

Cang Feng on the side comforted him: "Don't worry, young master. When Miss Yun is well again, she can still treat you."

When Ye Chufeng looked over with fierce eyes, Cang Feng felt a chill on his back and lowered his head involuntarily.

Ye Chufeng retracted his stern look and said, "I'm not worried that she can't cure me. I'm worried about her situation."

Over the years, he had gotten used to this pair of dull peach blossom eyes, and it didn't seem to make much difference whether he treated them or not. Later, when he met Yun Mujiu again, he thought about treating his eyes again, but this thought was not as strong as his concern for Yun Mujiu's situation.

Cang Feng was annoyed, "I spoke too hastily... I will secretly find out the news from Ye Mansion."

"Well, be careful and make sure no one else knows our actions."

...

In the Qianqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, the emperor had a solemn expression on his face. He stood with his hands behind his back, staring straight at several ministers who were kneeling on the ground.

Yun Xiang was one of the kneeling ministers. He held his breath, not knowing what the emperor thought of the closure of the Ye Mansion. Moreover, he was also guilty, afraid that the emperor would ask him whether the Yun Mansion had taken back the large sum of medical fees from Yun Mujiu.

The emperor had long known about the news released by the Ye Mansion, but he was still a little suspicious. He asked Geng Wa, "What news has been secretly spread inside the Ye Mansion?"

Geng Wa nodded and said, "Your Majesty, according to the secret information we received, Princess Ye is indeed seriously ill, and even Du Ziheng can't relieve her pain. The Night King is staying by Princess Ye's side."

The emperor frowned deeply and looked as if he was thinking.

All the facts are in front of us. There is indeed nothing wrong with the Ye Mansion being closed because Yun Mujiu is seriously ill.

But why did he feel a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart? Could it be that he had been too busy recently and was too stressed out?

The emperor pondered again and looked at a man in black on the ground, "Can the information from the secret agent be trusted?"

The man in black bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the previous information was also transmitted by the secret line. We rarely use this secret line, and it will not expose our information and identities."

The emperor felt relieved, but his people could never have imagined that the spy they had painstakingly planted had already been discovered by Ye Xiaohan.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, the Ye Mansion just released the news. We don't need to worry. We can just observe for a few days."

It was less than a day before the Ye Mansion was closed. Even if Ye Xiaohan acted secretly during this day, what tricks could he come up with? If the emperor was worried, he could continue to investigate the Ye Mansion in a day or two.

The other ministers thought it made sense and followed suit.

Even if they really wanted to know what happened in Ye Mansion, what could they do? Ye Xiaohan had a group of troops and the powerful Hanying Guards. Breaking into Ye Mansion would do no good to the emperor's people and they would not get any benefits.

If the Ye Mansion really closed the house to let Yun Mujiu recuperate, wouldn't they have to pay the price for their recklessness if they rashly broke into the prince's mansion?

The emperor thought for a while, shook his sleeves and ordered: "Be alert and keep an eye on Ye Mansion, Meng Mansion and Herb Hall as well."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and responded in unison: "Yes!"

The emperor glanced at Yun Xiang coldly. Yun Xiang's legs went weak and he tried hard to stay calm.

The emperor looked at Yun Xiang with deep inquiry, but in the end he didn't say anything to Yun Xiang.

With the rise of Yun Mujiu and the return of the Meng family, the Yun family needs to be more careful.

If Yun Xiang is useless, then he will throw away this useless chess piece!
