The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Duke Meng raised his eyes and thought deeply, then slowly said, "That golden hairpin belonged to your grandmother. It was the favorite hairpin of the late queen. The late queen specially gave it to your grandmother."

"Your grandmother wanted to treat the hairpin as a family heirloom of the Meng family, and gave it to Wanzhou when she got married. Unexpectedly, Wanzhou married Yun Xiang in a hurry and broke with the Meng family. In the end, the hairpin was not delivered to her."

Yun Mujiu nodded. It turned out that the golden hairpin had such a long history. No wonder the Queen Mother looked at her golden hairpin a few more times. It turned out that only someone as old as the Queen Mother would be so familiar with the old item.

However, she was still a little confused.

"Since grandma wanted to keep the hairpin as a family heirloom, why didn't she leave it to my uncle, or pass it on to Ning Lang later?"

"Although Wanzhou has left the Meng Mansion, we still miss her in our hearts, so the hairpin is specially kept for her. You are her daughter, and now this golden phoenix hairpin is given to you by your grandfather, which is also a kind of inheritance."

Duke Meng asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about the gold hairpin? Has anyone asked you about the origin of the gold hairpin?"

"No one asked, but some people paid more attention to the hairpin. Some time ago, I attended a palace banquet and the Queen Mother suddenly appeared. I noticed that she took a few more glances at my hair accessories, especially the gold hairpin."

Duke Meng obviously didn't expect that person to be the Queen Mother, and his face became a little solemn. Considering that Yun Mujiu was still present, he quickly adjusted his mood.

Noticing Yun Mujiu's subtle expression, he took the initiative to ask: "Mujiu, do you have any doubts in your heart?"

"Yes." Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, and then said in confusion: "On the day I entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother, she suddenly summoned me. She seemed to be kind to me and told me to ask her for help if I needed it."

She continued, "But I am not familiar with the Queen Mother, so I just thought she was being polite. Even if I really needed help, I would not ask her for help."

The Queen Mother had never spoken to her. If she asked the Queen Mother for help, wouldn't she be indebted to her? Besides, given her situation, she didn't want to get involved with the people in the palace for no reason.

Duke Meng lowered his eyes and said calmly, "My grandparents had some friendship with the Queen Mother when they were young..."

"Oh?" Yun Mujiu became interested.

However, Duke Meng sighed inaudibly: "It's all over." Then he said briefly: "The Queen Mother learned that you were suddenly granted marriage to the Night King, so she summoned you to meet her, perhaps to give her some advice and condolences..."

Yun Mujiu's eyes turned slightly, wondering if the Queen Mother was trying to show her some goodwill. After all, it was the Emperor who insisted on granting her the marriage.

At that time, no one was optimistic about this marriage, and many court officials secretly knew that the emperor was deliberately humiliating Ye Xiaohan. The queen mother couldn't stand the emperor's behavior, so she met her and comforted her a little?

Yun Mujiu looked at Duke Meng's tired expression and somewhat exhausted eyes, and knew that they could not continue the conversation.

"Grandfather, I understand. You should have a good rest first. The prince and I will soon be ready to return home."

Duke Meng nodded, "The prince accompanied you to the Meng Mansion. Grandfather is worried that others might think that the prince has other intentions towards the Meng Mansion, which would affect the prince."

"Grandfather, don't worry. Since the prince took the initiative to accompany me, he will naturally have a way to deal with other hidden forces. The prince is very capable, and I will take good care of myself. You just need to stay in the Meng Mansion and enjoy your old age."

Duke Meng patted Yun Mujiu's shoulder with a faint smile on his lips.

After Duke Meng rested, Yun Mujiu returned to the main hall.

Ye Xiaohan and Meng Shihao left the study and returned to the main hall to drink tea. During this time, a guard whispered a few words to Ye Xiaohan.

Yun Mujiu gave some instructions to Meng Shihao and his wife, and asked Meng Ninglang to take better care of Duke Meng.

When she was about to leave, Yi ordered her servants to carry a small wooden box to the carriage of the night palace, saying, "It contains three rolls of silk cloth from the borderland. I'll leave it for you and the prince to make new clothes."

Yun Mujiu was surprised. "Heavenly silk cloth?" It sounded very valuable.

Ye Xiaohan explained: "The silver silk spun by the silkworms in the frontier can be woven into a piece of cloth. It takes ten years to produce one piece. There may not be many in the palace."

"It's too expensive, I'll leave it to you!" Yun Mujiu waved his hand to refuse Yi.

Meng Shihao said firmly: "We don't need it. You and the prince are still so young, it is most suitable for you to wear Tiancan's clothes."

Meng Ninglang on the side shrank his neck. He was younger than Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan!

Dad, you actively ignored me, your great son!

Although he was thinking about it, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said firmly: "I wore Tiancan clothes when I was a child."

Meng Shihao replied: "You are such a naughty boy, how can you be worthy of this! Such good material is better left to Mu Jiu and the prince."

Meng Ninglang was annoyed and ran to Yun Mujiu.

"Just accept it. Grandfather and we have kept it specially for you! Don't let Grandfather down!"

Yun Mujiu had no choice but to compromise, gave a few instructions to Meng Ninglang and others, and then left.

In the carriage, Yun Mujiu moved closer to Ye Xiaohan.

"My Lord, thank you for coming back to the Meng Mansion with me today."

"You and I are husband and wife. If you go back to visit your family, I will naturally go back with you."

Husband and wife? Yun Mujiu couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his lips. What an interesting word! So fresh, it makes people feel excited for no reason!

"Yes, husband..."

Ye Xiaohan coughed lightly and said, "Hmm..." His face still had that cold and aloof look that kept people at a distance.

Yun Mujiu curled his lips and shared his conversation with Duke Meng.

Ye Xiaohan listened quietly, his eyes always fixed on the person who kept talking.

When they arrived at Ye Mansion, it was almost dark. The two returned to the study in Huayang Courtyard.

Ye Xiaohan told the news reported by his personal guards in the afternoon, that is, the three assassins of Biluoxueshao watched the farce in Caocao Hall this morning.

Yun Mujiu frowned, "When they see the prince come out, will they think of something bad again?"

"No, they don't dare." Ye Xiaohan replied confidently. The last time he smashed the branch headquarters of the Biluo Blood Killing Organization in Zhongyue Country, it was enough to intimidate them for a long time.

The chief person in charge of Biluoxuesha in Zhongyue, Zhongyue's special envoy, also known as Special Envoy Xue, was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe. Special Envoy Xue saw from Ye Xiaohan's eyes what true killing intent was.

Ye Xiaohan's calm tone reassured Yun Mujiu. It wasn't that she was timid, but the Blue Sky Blood Killer was a killer organization founded by the Eastern Empire. Since the Ye Mansion was still keeping a low profile, it was better to be cautious when possible.

"However," Yun Mujiu pondered, "How could the Queen invite Biluoxuesha? Doesn't the assassin organization have rules?"

"The common rule among assassin organizations is that they cannot interfere in the royal power struggle, but occasionally some organizations will secretly break the rules for their own personal interests."

"However," Ye Xiaohan gave Yun Mujiu a reassuring look, "this kind of situation rarely happens, so don't worry too much."

"Okay..." She had an idea and had to start preparing to build her own intelligence network. Although Ye Xiaohan had an information network, she couldn't always rely on Ye Xiaohan.

No matter when, it is best to be strong!

That night, the people in Ye Mansion slept peacefully, but many people in Beijing tossed and turned, thinking hard about some things...
