The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu was anxious, waiting for Ye Xiaohan's reaction.

She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat: "Thump...thump..."

What she said just now was too emotional and a bit awkward.

Ye Xiaohan immediately said, "No." He looked at Yun Mujiu steadily, "Don't be pretentious. Mumu can say whatever he wants to say, I'm listening."

His heart twitched. He had no idea that Mu Mu had lived such a hard life before...

Suppressing his complicated emotions, Ye Xiaohan said in a low voice: "I am very happy that Mu Mu told me about you. This makes me understand Mu Mu even more..."

Yun Mujiu smiled at Ye Xiaohan, with a hint of relief in her smile. She had already left the orphanage through her own efforts, and now she mentioned the old things for the first time in front of Ye Xiaohan. At this moment, all her sadness and grievances disappeared.

The moment she spoke of her past pain, the moment she was comforted by Ye Xiaohan, the bad experience in the orphanage faded away with the passing of time...

...

The people of Biluoxuesha were more informed than most people. They learned yesterday that something had happened in two of the death squad's hideouts, but they had not found any clear clues at that time.

Some of them speculated that the killers in the two dens either met their old enemies or were wiped out because they found out some information.

Not many people dared to go against Biluo Xuesha, after all, Biluo had the support of the Eastern Empire. But because Biluo Xuesha mainly killed people for money, he must have angered many people secretly. These people didn't dare to take action openly, but they might cause some trouble in secret.

Therefore, Biluoxuesha tends to think that it is very likely that someone attacked them secretly.

What Biluo didn't expect was that the man didn't attack them by surprise, but killed them openly. He just killed all the people in the stronghold and didn't leave a single person alive who could report to Biluo.

This morning, the secret agent learned the latest news from the capital city - it is said that the mastermind of the two assassinations was Youming Jiuchong. In addition to the whole day of investigation yesterday, combined with the clues left by the murderer at the scene, the people of Biluo are sure that the real murderer is Youming Jiuchong.

Envoy Xue was so angry that he slammed the table, "What a cruel person!"

Last time they wanted to check the identity of Nether Nine, but all the people they sent out were killed. This time, Nether Nine actually took the initiative to challenge them. It was really arrogant.

Envoy Xue was angry for a long time, and the secret agents beside him did not dare to say anything. After a while, one of the secret agents spoke cautiously: "Envoy Xue, what do you think we should do next?"

Envoy Xue frowned, "Last time I sent a letter related to the Netherworld Nine Layers back to Japan, and now their reply has not arrived yet..."

The spy asked again: "Why did Netherworld Nine Levels seize our two hideouts? Those were our key bases for connecting the capital with other provinces..."

Envoy Xue calmed down and thought, "Is it possible that Netherworld Nine wants to take revenge on us for investigating him last time?" He was startled and said, "Or maybe our people found some information related to Netherworld Nine!"

He stared straight ahead and said seriously, "Quick! Check what information those two dens wanted to pass on to us!"

On the other hand, Soul-stealing Yuanxi also learned about the Netherworld Nine-fold's fight against the Blue Sky Blood Killer.

Shopkeeper Duan waved his hand at a man in black, "This envoy has been informed, please leave."

Shopkeeper Duan is ostensibly the chief shopkeeper of the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi branch in Zhongyue Kingdom, but in fact he is also the special envoy of the Zhongyue branch.

Last time, a few of his subordinates wanted to investigate the Netherworld Nine Layers, but they were counterattacked by the Netherworld Nine Layers. Later, he admonished his subordinates, reminding them not to make trouble out of nothing, and just keep a wait-and-see attitude towards the Netherworld Nine Layers and the Nether Palace.

He frowned, somewhat curious. The upper echelons of Soul Stealer Yuanxi told them to be careful and not to confront Nether Nine without reason. Why did he feel that the upper echelons of Soul Stealer seemed to have a slight liking for Nether Nine? But as a century-old assassin organization, why would Soul Stealer Yuanxi be kind to a new assassin organization?

It rained heavily last night, and the next day the heavy rain became lighter and turned into drizzle. The air was filled with a unique fragrance after the heavy rain, which was refreshing.

There is a winding corridor in the quaint courtyard.

Raindrops were falling obliquely, and under the eaves of the corridor, a man and a woman were walking.

"Are you satisfied with the gift for the grand opening?"

"Gift?" Yun Mujiu was surprised and said excitedly, "I know. The prince sent me two bouquets of flowers made of night-shining pearls!"

Ye Xiaohan said "hmm" lightly, "Did Wei Bai tell you?"

"No, I guessed it. When I saw a gift like that, for some reason, I felt that it was from the prince."

Ye Xiaohan stopped and glanced at Yun Mujiu sideways.

Yun Mujiu raised her head and said, "The night-shining pearls are very beautiful. I like them very much." Her dark eyebrows moved slightly, and her face was puzzled: "But why are there nine night-shining pearls in each bunch? Is there any meaning?"

Ye Xiaohan coughed lightly and turned his head away. "There is no meaning. A bunch can only hold nine night pearls at most. That's all."

"Oh." Yun Mujiu's lips drooped down in anticipation, "I thought..."

Ye Xiaohan asked: "Why do you think so?"

Yun Mujiu shook her head slightly, "I thought maybe the number 'nine' represented some kind of blessing." When Bai Yanshuang and the others gave her gifts, they explained the purpose of the gifts, and most of the gifts came in pairs, representing good things come in pairs. When she guessed that Ye Xiaohan had given her a gift, she was looking forward to what Ye Xiaohan's intentions were.

Ye Xiaohan said nothing and walked forward.

When Yun Mujiu looked up, he found that Ye Xiaohan had already walked several steps. He pursed his lips and said, "My Lord, why did you leave without telling me?"

Then, he smiled evilly and said, "Since those night-shining pearls have no special meaning, can I sell them?"

She walked quickly and heard the light words of the person in front of her -

"'九' sounds like '久', which means 'long and lasting'."

"Two bunches, representing two people..."

Yun Mujiu paused, and his frown gradually relaxed. It turned out that Ye Xiaohan's intention of giving a gift was to express his blessing and hope for their beautiful relationship.

Yun Mujiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, lifted her skirt, and trotted to Ye Xiaohan's side.

Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu's smile, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "One more thing, can you think of it? Yun Mujiu..."

Yun Mujiu was overjoyed. "Nine night-shining pearls, and there is also a 'nine' in my name!"

"Ah."

Ye Xiaohan had a cold expression on his face, but Yun Mujiu knew that Ye Xiaohan was in the same mood as her at this moment, and was in a happy state.

Yun Mujiu felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Ye Xiaohan, a straight man, would think of such a meaningful gift, which was even a bit romantic.

Yun Mujiu looked at the drizzle and smiled.

"Thank you, my Lord. I like this gift very much."

"As long as you like it." Ye Xiaohan raised his chin slightly and replied lightly.

The rain is still falling. It looks like the weather won't clear up today.

Later, on the way back to the study, Ye Xiaohan said: "I will accompany you out of the house. I know Ling Xingmu's identity..."

Yun Mujiu heard the seriousness in Ye Xiaohan's tone and began to feel that her saving Ling Xingmu seemed to be a rather special thing.

She didn't know whether being involved with Ling Xingmu was good or bad for her and Ye Xiaohan? She couldn't be so unlucky as to save her enemy, right?
