The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"Forget it." Ye Chuhe didn't want to say anything more, "I don't want to eat anything, just bring the medicine up."

His thoughts inexplicably returned to the scene in the Herb Hall that day, when Yun Mujiu had people make a lot of cakes to entertain the guests.

He had heard that it was Yun Mujiu who taught the people of the Herb Hall how to make pastries. It turned out that Yun Mujiu was not only good at medicine, but also had great craftsmanship.

If Uncle Ye hadn't suddenly arrived, he might have packed up the cakes and left...

In Qichi Courtyard, Yun Mujiu fell into a deep sleep, his sleeping posture twisted and distorted. His hands and feet were exposed outside the quilt, and he was hunched over on the inside of the bed.

A tall man in black stood straight in front of the window where Yun Mujiu lay.

He looked at Yun Mujiu's wanton sleeping posture quietly without saying a word.

After a while, he looked at Yun Mujiu again, then raised his hand and carefully closed the window. The two fully open windows were closed, leaving a gap that was large enough for ventilation.

He turned around and walked back, and saw the shadow guard standing not far behind him.

The shadow guard clasped his fists and said, "I greet you, Your Majesty."

Ye Xiaohan waved his hand and said, "It's windy at night. Please close the window for the princess next time."

"Yes! I understand."

After Ye Xiaohan left, Ying Liu looked back at the window where Yun Mujiu slept and paused.

It turns out that the prince has already closed the window for the princess...

Ying Liu stood there, frowning and thinking: Should I tell the princess that the prince is coming? But the prince didn't say whether I can tell him or not. But I am the princess's secret guard...

On the morning of the next day, Yun Mujiu got up early as usual. She sat on the bed with her knees bent and stretched: "Oh, I slept so comfortably!"

"It's over! I forgot to close the window last night!"

She looked towards the window suddenly. If she didn't close the window properly, she might catch a cold because of her habit of kicking the quilt when she slept. As she thought about it, she inexplicably felt a little chilly.

However, when she looked over, she found that the two windows were almost closed, with a large gap deliberately left in the middle.

"Hey, did you close the window for me when Dong Yu went to rest last night?" Yun Mujiu scratched her fluffy long hair, "Maybe I remembered it wrong, did I really close the window?"

Normally, Yun Mujiu should have a maid guarding her at night, but she was not used to having someone guarding her while she slept. Moreover, the Ye Mansion was heavily guarded, and she had secret guards by her side, so no bad guy would attack her no matter what.

Therefore, at Yun Mujiu's strong request, the maid on duty every night could retreat to the ear room next door to rest after leaving Yun Mujiu's bedroom.

Yun Mujiu sat in front of the dressing table, and Chunlan and Xiahe were doing her hair. She stared at the mirror blankly, and noticed the reflection in it from the corner of her eye - Dongyu came in with a tray of clean water.

Yun Mujiu asked, "Dong Yu, when you went downstairs to rest last night, did you close the window for me?"

Dong Yu walked forward, looking a little embarrassed.

"Princess, it's not me. I didn't notice your window last night." Then, she asked carefully, "Princess, did something happen?"

Yun Mujiu was about to shake her head, but quickly realized that Chunlan was still braiding her hair.

He waved his hand and replied to Dong Yu: "It's okay, I just asked casually."

Dong Yu nodded and stood aside obediently.

On the other side, Ye Xiaohan came back from practicing martial arts in the training ground and happened to meet the secret guard who was reporting back to the mansion.

Ye Xiaohan asked: "Have you found any clues?"

The secret guard nodded, took out the letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Ye Xiaohan took the letter, glanced at it hurriedly, and his calm eyes darkened a little.

He waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat, and then ordered the guards beside him: "Let Du Ziheng come over."

When Du Ziheng came to the study, he vaguely heard the conversation between Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

I vaguely heard Yun Mujiu say: "It's been less than ten days and we have found some clues. That's great..."

Du Ziheng knocked on the door and came in, bowing slightly to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu smiled: "Du Ziheng, you came at the right time. The prince has something important to discuss with you."

Du Ziheng nodded slightly and looked at Ye Xiaohan: "Your Majesty."

Ye Xiaohan said bluntly: "The secret guards have checked some information about Duti Valley. If you want to find out what happened to you in Duti Valley six years ago, there are still clues to follow."

He threw the letter in his hand away.

Du Ziheng caught it with one hand, his eyes swept across the paper, and the more he read, the more surprised he became.

There was a lot of content written on the letter, and the main information was clearly stated.

There are four seasons in a year, and Duti Valley purchases goods from the outside world once a year, mainly buying food and some daily necessities.

The farmers who have long been connected with Duti Valley are those who live in the mountains. They have lived in the mountains for a long time and occasionally do some small business.

Farmers have signed a contract with Duti Valley for many years, and the two sides only maintain a trading relationship. At other times, farmers are not allowed to come to Duti Valley for no reason, nor are they allowed to disclose any news about Duti Valley to the outside world.

Duti Valley has been isolated from the outside world for many years and has little contact with the outside world. However, no matter how deep it hides, it will always leave some traces in the world. Ye Xiaohan looked carefully and finally found some clues.

Du Ziheng held the letter tightly in his hand, looked up at Ye Xiaohan with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He knew very well that it was very difficult to find out information about Duti Valley in a short period of time, and the information he found was so crucial that it could serve as a breakthrough in the investigation.

The prince must have mobilized a large number of people to investigate. How could he not be grateful and excited?

Yun Mujiu paused and said, "Du Ziheng, since the prince has found out about the existence of farmers, we can use the farmers as a breakthrough point and find out information about Du Digu from them."

"Especially to find out what happened inside Duti Valley six years ago. For example, why did you suddenly hear a strange piercing noise when you were on duty in the pharmacy, why did you suddenly lose consciousness and remember nothing, why did the precious medicinal materials and peerless medical books disappear, etc."

Ye Xiaohan's face was indifferent. He took over the topic and said, "I will have someone try to contact the farmers first to find out what happened six years ago."

He then asked, "Do you remember anything else?"

Du Ziheng's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his fair face turned a little blue.

"I have been thinking hard these days, but I only remembered one detail after I woke up from my coma..."

Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "Speak."

Du Ziheng raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtful.
