The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu's lips trembled slightly as he stared at Wei Bai.

"What is the specific situation of the official road?"

Wei Bo replied: "The heavy rain caused flash floods and landslides, which submerged a long section of the official road."

Yun Mujiu's pupils shrank, and he asked, "Did the prince pass the official road where the accident happened on his way back to the city?"

Wei Bai made a bitter face, "I think he passed by. Taking that official road back to the city is the shortest and fastest."

Yun Mujiu's right eyelid twitched inexplicably. She raised her hand and pressed her eyelid tightly.

Wei Bai, Du Ziheng and housekeeper Zeng looked at Yun Mujiu's expression, and they were also a little panicked. The guards on the side had solemn faces and frowns.

"Boom!" A loud thunder suddenly sounded, and a fiery red light flashed across the dark sky.

Everyone was startled. Yun Mujiu looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain in the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, several lightning flashed across the sky, shrouding the dark and gloomy sky with a terrifying atmosphere. At the same time, thunder rumbled, as if it was about to tear the sky apart. All this seemed to foreshadow the coming of a storm.

A strong wind blew in the air, blowing towards everyone. The leaves swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. The lanterns in the corridor swayed from side to side, and the lights were dim. The wind lanterns hanging under the eaves also made a continuous "ding-dong" sound.

After three breaths, bean-sized raindrops began to fall sparsely, and then the raindrops became larger and fell madly, as if a tight rain net was woven in the air.

Yun Mujiu raised his voice: "Everyone, hurry up and go inside. The guards should also go inside to avoid the rain."

Everyone moved, and Yun Mujiu and his men stood under the eaves.

Du Ziheng muttered, "It seems that the people at the Sitiantai can't make a good estimate. It's raining in the capital."

Yun Mujiu stared at the curtain of water pouring down from the eaves without saying a word.

Wei Bo said, "Princess, don't worry too much. I have already sent secret guards to investigate. There was an accident on that official road, but the other roads should be fine. The prince will be fine."

That being said, Ye Xiaohan has not returned home yet, so everyone can't help but think too much. If you have concerns in your heart, you will be worried. It's better to be safe than sorry.

What if the prince happened to encounter a mudslide or a landslide? Natural disasters are not as bad as man-made disasters. Natural disasters are more unexpected, and the damage and destructive power can be huge.

Yun Mujiu closed his eyes slightly, took a breath, and when he opened them again, there was tenacity in his eyes.

"I'm going out to bring the prince back."

"No!" Wei Bai and the others' faces changed drastically, not agreeing with Yun Mujiu's idea. The prince was not in the Ye Mansion, so they had to ensure the safety of the princess. Moreover, it was dark and there was a heavy rain inside and outside the capital. How could the princess, a woman, travel!

Yun Mujiu waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything more."

Yun Mujiu had a serious expression and a dignified voice: "Butler Zeng, Du Ziheng, you stay here to look after the Ye Mansion. Order people to prepare clean clothes, boil ginger soup, and heat hot water. Wait for the prince and his men to return and immediately start the cold-dispelling work."

Yun Mujiu said: "Wei Bai, Suixi, Fusang, Yingliu, follow me, and I will also select some personal guards with strong martial arts skills."

At her command, everyone immediately took action.

Yun Mujiu made some preparations and was ready to set off.

Soon, everyone gathered in the backyard of Ye Mansion. The rain was so heavy that people could hardly open their eyes, and everything around was hazy.

A group of fine horses were also waiting here.

Everyone wore a bamboo hat and even a straw raincoat.

Housekeeper Zeng and other people from the Ye Mansion stood aside, somewhat worried. They were worried about Ye Xiaohan who had not returned home, and also concerned about Yun Mujiu who was about to go out.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Wei Bai and the others, "Are you ready?"

"You're ready, princess!"

Yun Mujiu nodded, "Okay!"

"Princess..." Du Ziheng frowned, "Are you really okay? I'm worried that the roads are slippery due to the heavy rain, and it's not safe for you to ride a horse?" Du Ziheng's words also represented the voice of everyone. In fact, Du Ziheng's words were already very tactful. At least he didn't say directly: "Princess, can you ride a horse?"

Yun Mujiu replied decisively: "Don't worry, I can do it." She seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and then said seriously: "I can ride a horse, and my riding skills are not bad!"

Her eyes were firm and sharp. Du Ziheng and others were stunned, and were also infected by Yun Mujiu's determination and confidence.

Yun Mujiu stepped towards a horse, grasped the reins with both hands, then slightly turned sideways, put his left foot on the stirrup, gently lifted his right foot, flew out a perfect arc, and finally sat steadily on the saddle.

In just a blink of an eye, Yun Mujiu completed the entire set of movements. His riding skills were as smooth as those of a soldier on the battlefield.

Everyone, including the guards, stared with wide eyes. When did the princess learn how to ride?

Yun Mujiu pulled the reins and looked around.

"set off!"

Wei Bai and others walked to the side of their horses. At this time, a sound of horse hooves came from afar, the sound was a little empty and a little messy.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, not sure where the sound came from. On a rainy night, what kind of team could appear on horseback near the Night King's Mansion, and at the back door of the Night King's Mansion?

Yun Mu clamped her legs against the horse's body, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head. She raised her eyebrows and fixed her sharp eyes on the back door of the Ye Mansion.

"The secret guards did not report any information, so the people who came should be our own people."

After hearing Yun Mujiu's words, the others felt relieved. Who else could come back at this moment...

Yun Mujiu was very nervous and stared at the door.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves gradually became lighter, and someone was getting closer and closer to them.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fell madly, breaking up on the ground, and water began to accumulate on the flat ground. There was a chill in the air, and the heavy rain and water vapor blurred everyone's eyes.

"Creaky..." There was a sound of the door hinge turning. The guard outside the door opened the door.

The sound of horse hooves rang out again, and in the hazy rain scene, a figure was looming in the rain.

Looking more closely, it seemed that a man was riding a horse into the Ye Mansion.

The man was tall and sat steadily, with his long legs resting on the tall horse's back.

Yun Mujiu squinted his eyes to look, his gaze penetrated the thick rain and fog, and his pupils gradually grew bigger.

A strong wind blew and a curtain of mist dissipated.

The figure became clearer...
