The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu couldn't guess what Ye Xiaohan was thinking, and she didn't dare to ask directly. What if Ye Xiaohan thought she was a lecherous girl? That would be too embarrassing.

So, Yun Mujiu replied awkwardly: "Well... I hope the prince won't catch a cold easily."

Seeing Yun Mujiu's silly look, Ye Xiaohan chuckled, loosened his hands, and then turned to hold Yun Mujiu's slender waist.

Yun Mujiu was surprised and looked up at Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan looked down at Yun Mujiu, lowered his head and slowly approached Yun Mujiu's little face.

Yun Mujiu's heart was pounding, and as Ye Xiaohan moved closer, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: Why do the prince's lips look so sexy and so kissable!

The next moment, a warm, tingling kiss came over Yun Mujiu.

...

On the other hand, some people woke up early, but were in a bad mood.

The emperor frowned and looked coldly at the kneeling secret guard.

Not only did Ye Xiaohan show up at the banquet yesterday, but Wei Song and Wei Bai also suddenly showed up! He had many doubts in his mind, and he felt even more uneasy because Longzhang Wei hadn't replied to his message for a long time.

This morning, the secret guard reported that they had received a pigeon letter from the East Suburbs team. The letter stated that they had encountered a mysterious man in black robes, and on the way to kill the man in black robes, they encountered a group of people.

Not only did the group of people carry hidden weapons, they also had some highly toxic powder on them. The Dragon Staff Guards did not expect to encounter a team that was well prepared.

They were caught off guard and started fighting with the team. Since the team had hidden weapons and secretly spread poison powder, for a while, some of the Dragon Staff Guards died and some were injured. However, the Dragon Staff Guards were good at martial arts, so they successfully counterattacked the other team.

Of the twenty-five Dragon Staff Guards, seven were killed and seven were injured.

The opposing team had twenty men, and they also had casualties. After they had finally spread a batch of powder secretly, they took away not only the wounded but also the bodies of their companions.

There were few traces left at the scene, so the identity of the other party could not be easily found. The pigeons carried by the Dragon Staff Guards were all poisoned to death, so the news was not sent back to the emperor until very late.

The emperor was furious. "Who is it?"

"Is it the previous Nantai team, or Ye Xiaohan's people!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The secret guard nodded and replied carefully, "Both parties are possible. At present, it seems that the possibility of the Nantai people is greater. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will continue to investigate."

The emperor was so angry that his beard was shaking. No matter who it was, anyone who dared to go against him or Zhongyue would have to die!

"Pass the order down, continue to track down the man in black robe that night, and the whereabouts of that team!"

"Also, find out the relationship between the black-robed man and the unknown team."

Although in fact, the black-robed man should have nothing to do with the unknown team. If there was a connection, I am afraid that with the black-robed man's martial arts, he would have attacked the Dragon Staff Guards long ago, instead of letting the unknown team be injured by the Dragon Staff Guards.

However, the emperor still wants to find out the relationship between the two for the sake of caution.

At this time, Wanyan Gu was also furious, with a thick depression in his chest.

He had clearly ordered his men to be prepared, including sending some death squads, but how come they were suddenly discovered by the Emperor's men?

This prevented his team from launching a surprise attack and caused many casualties. Many of the secret guards who were able to return were seriously injured.

He glared coldly at the three kneeling secret guards, "Could it be that your whereabouts have long been discovered by the Dragon Staff Guards?"

The three secret guards kowtowed in panic, and one of them said, "Your Highness, that's impossible! Our subordinates have been very careful, and the Dragon Staff Guards have not made any moves."

Another one continued, "Second Prince, if the Dragon Staff Guards had discovered this, they would have attacked us long ago."

Wanyan Gu was a little impatient, but he had to admit that the secret guard's analysis was somewhat logical.

Tu Shan suddenly spoke up, "Second Prince, I have an idea."

"You said."

"Another possibility is that the Dragon Staff Guards noticed the Dark Guards' movements a little in advance." Tu Dan's face was solemn and he replied calmly, "It's just that they were pressed for time and didn't have time to make more preparations. In addition, they didn't expect that our team had hidden weapons and poisons, so they couldn't withstand our attack."

Wanyan Gu frowned and nodded slightly.

A secret guard asked: "Second Prince, what should we do now? You have withdrawn the people who were tracking the Night King. As for the Dragon Staff Guards, we should..."

Wanyan Gu said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, the culprit is the Dragon Staff Guard. They hurt our people. But they also learned a lesson. Our original intention was to take a small revenge. Now our wish has been fulfilled, but we have paid a little more price."

He continued, "Settle the people who have returned well. Also, pick a few uninjured secret guards to check on the Dragon Staff Guards."

Tu Dan and the three secret guards agreed. It seemed that the Second Prince had already made plans and had no intention of wasting any more effort on Emperor Zhongyue's secret guards.

Wanyan Gu's cheeks turned red with anger. Why do so many bad things always happen in Zhongyue!

In a huge tent, the queen had a faint smile on her face and was sipping tea leisurely.

She had already received a message from her subordinates and knew about the battle between the Dragon Staff Guards and that team.

The people of Zhongyue State might not be able to see it, but her people could carefully see that a few people in that team occasionally accidentally used Nantai's moves.

Therefore, there must be people from Nantai in that team, or maybe the entire team is made up of people from Nantai.

Nanny Pei served a light breakfast to the Queen. She was also affected by the Queen's mood and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"The Queen is truly wise." Nanny Pei looked at the Queen with admiration on her face.

The queen glanced at Madam Cai and snorted.

"It turns out that the Night King sent Wei Song to the Eastern Suburbs not to train troops, but to make contact with the Nantai people."

Before this, she was still wondering why the Night King had hurriedly sent Wei Song out of the city. The Emperor was unwilling to tell her too much about state affairs, she only knew that the Emperor was sending people to track down the Night King's subordinates.

Fortunately, her subordinates were able to observe the fight between the Dragon Staff Guards and the Nantai people. Now her doubts were finally resolved.

The emperor clapped his hands and a man in black appeared before him.

"Pull back the East Suburbs team and leave some personnel there to wait and see if they can find any other information."

"The Night King has sent his subordinates back to the city. I believe he will not leave anyone in Liumu County and the eastern suburbs of the capital. We can breathe a sigh of relief."

The man in black nodded and disappeared in an instant.

At that time, Yun Mujiu sat on the bed with a red face and messy hair. Ye Xiaohan sat on the bed, half-raising his eyebrows, looking deeply at Yun Mujiu...
