The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the study of Ye Mansion, Ye Xiaohan asked calmly, "How is the investigation going?"

Wei Bai nodded slightly, "Your Highness, I have found that the Meng family does not have a family pattern. Whether it is the generation after Duke Meng or the ancestors before him, there is no mention of a family mark."

Ye Xiaohan nodded and asked, "Twenty years ago, Meng left Beijing for two months. Have you found out where she went?"

Wei Bo paused and replied carefully, "Meng's family left the capital and headed north. I have been investigating for a long time and can only find the records of Meng's family staying in post stations in some counties north of the capital."

He went on to say, "Twenty years have passed, and it is difficult to find out the details of the Meng family's departure from Beijing. The information I can find now is still based on what I have found at the Meng Mansion."

Soon after Meng left the mansion, Duke Meng immediately sent people to look for her. During the process of tracking, the officials found the record of Meng's stay at the post station.

When they continued to search, they found that Meng had suddenly disappeared. Not only could they not find any trace of Meng in the areas further north of the capital, but even the post stations further north had no records of Meng staying there. Furthermore, they could not find anything when they searched in the east, south and west directions of the capital.

Meng disappeared for more than two months...

Ye Xiaohan instructed Wei Bai: "This king knows the difficulty of the investigation, but you still need to continue investigating."

"I understand. I will do my best."

Du Ziheng listened quietly to the conversation between Ye Xiaohan and the other person, standing aside with his head lowered.

Wei Bai took a look at Ye Xiaohan's indifferent expression, and took the initiative to speak again: "My Lord, it is indeed a bit tricky to solve the mystery of the flower seal on the princess."

As one of Ye Xiaohan's right-hand men, Wei Bai naturally knew a lot about Ye Xiaohan. He listened to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's investigation results and was also very concerned about the mystery of Yun Mujiu's life experience.

"I know." Ye Xiaohan glanced at Wei Bai, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Bai smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty really understands my thoughts. Oh, Your Majesty actually knows what's on my mind."

"Your mood is written all over your face." Ye Xiaohan said coldly.

Du Ziheng rolled his eyes at Wei Bai and said, "Silly Wei Bai, you can't even hide the expression on your face. And you still boast that you are a sophisticated businessman!"

Wei Bai turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to Du Ziheng's teasing. Then, he touched his nose again. Was he so obvious? The prince really had a sharp eye!

He said carefully: "Your Majesty has heard the princess describe the pattern of the flower seal, and has also seen the princess draw the flower seal. But -"

"— —Prince, have you seen the mark on the princess' body with your own eyes?"

Ye Xiaohan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the coldness on his face disappeared for a moment. What Wei Bai said made some sense. He had been listening to Yun Mujiu's description of the flower seal, and he believed that Yun Mujiu's description was true.

Not long ago, Yun Mujiu took a branch and drew a flower pattern on the ground for him to see.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe he should see it with his own eyes. Maybe what he actually saw could lead to new discoveries?

Seeing that Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything, Wei Bai guessed that Ye Xiaohan was thinking.

He continued, "Your Majesty, for some things, we may be able to imagine their true appearance by describing them in words, or we may also understand their specific appearance in detail by looking at pictures."

"But no matter what, it's not as real as seeing it with your own eyes. Therefore, if possible, can Your Majesty talk to the Princess and see the mark in person?"

Wei Bo didn't dare to ask others to see the mark, as long as the prince saw it alone. The prince and the princess were a legal couple. It was nothing for the prince to see the mark on the princess's right shoulder.

Wei Bai squinted his eyes and observed Ye Xiaohan's expression. Fortunately, Ye Xiaohan's expression did not change, so he felt relieved.

Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything for a long time.

Just when Wei Bai thought there was no hope, he heard Ye Xiaohan say, "This king knows."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Wei Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually, "Why haven't you seen Yingyi in the past two days?"

"I sent him out to do some work." Ye Xiaohan stopped there and obviously had no intention of saying more.

Wei Bai was a smart man. Although he was a little surprised that there were things he didn't know, he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

Ye Xiaohan snapped his fingers, and Ying San appeared immediately.

Ye Xiaohan said calmly, "What is the princess doing now? Is there anyone else looking for trouble with the princess?"

Ying San nodded and said, "Your Highness, the princess just went to inspect the location of the new store. She is now discussing matters with Shopkeeper Wang and others in the Herb Hall."

"The princess is dressed as a man today." Ying San noticed the concern in Ye Xiaohan's tone and continued, "When the princess was seeing patients at the herbal clinic or shopping, no other strangers came to bother her."

When Ye Xiaohan heard the word "shopping", he instantly raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, signaling Ying San to leave.

Wei Bai grinned evilly and said in his heart: The prince just met the princess this morning, and now he is asking about her condition again.

Du Ziheng glared at Wei Bai and said to Ye Xiaohan, "Your Majesty, yesterday I and the princess examined the Seventh Prince together. I am so bold as to ask you a few words."

"Speak." An unknown emotion flashed across Ye Xiaohan's eyes.

"Your Highness, I was just thinking casually. Perhaps I am overthinking." Du Ziheng lowered his eyes, still giving his cold-blooded prince a shot of defense.

Ye Xiaohan lost his patience with Wei Bai and Du Ziheng, two grown men, being so fussy.

"If you don't tell me, get out."

"Don't!" Du Ziheng was anxious and said quickly: "The Seventh Prince seemed to be a little concerned about the princess. Before he left, he asked the princess - are you really living well in Ye Mansion?"

Ye Xiaohan's handsome face became even colder, and his eyes were full of ice and broken snow.

Du Ziheng lowered his head and said, "I just want to say that sometimes we should pay attention to a sense of crisis..."

He lowered his head even lower, almost burying it in his neck. The prince was his brother, and for his brother he was willing to risk his life and give him a bold reminder!

Wei Bai was stunned. Du Ziheng, who was so stupid, could be so careful! The prince was so indifferent. Was he going to scold Du Ziheng?

Wei Bai couldn't help but feel worried for Du Ziheng.

"I understand." Ye Xiaohan glanced at Du Ziheng, "I believe in the princess."

Then he said coldly: "As for Chu Feng that night, I think he wanted to take care of the princess because of their childhood friendship."

"But there is another possibility. If he has thoughts that he shouldn't have..." When he said the second half of the sentence, his tone was grim.

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng shuddered at the same time and looked up at Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan's cold voice came to my ears: "I will never let him off easily!"

"Ha Qiu!" Yun Mujiu suddenly sneezed loudly. She felt a chill on her back for no apparent reason.

What's going on? I suddenly feel a chill in my heart.

He shook his head, then cheered up and said seriously, "I have written down all the details of opening a store in this notebook. You just follow the requirements written in the notebook."

Qingxiu, Wang Gui, Fu Qian, and other male and female employees of Herb Hall nodded.

A doorman came in and reported, "Princess, Miss Bai is here to buy medicine."

Yun Mujiu stood up and said, "Everyone, please go away." She walked out quickly to greet Bai Yanshuang.

On the second floor of the restaurant near Herb Hall, a man in red came downstairs and walked to the teahouse next door. Not long after, the man left in a carriage.
