The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "Ling Xingmu's background is indeed unusual."

"The Four Provinces of the Northern Boundary is a special region in Zhongyue's territory. When the Tianji Dynasty was still in existence, that region was not called the Northern Boundary. It was originally one with the current Beihan Kingdom. After the collapse of the Tianji Dynasty, that region was separated from Beihan and governed by Zhongyue, and was officially named 'Northern Boundary'."

Yun Mujiu nodded slightly. "So, are the people of the Northern Realm different from other Zhongyue people? For example, the difference in ancestral bloodline?"

"There is a difference." Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu, "You guessed right. There are a certain number of people in the four provinces of Beijie who have Beihan blood flowing in their bodies. Therefore, the territory of Beijie is somewhat different from other places in Zhongyue."

Wei Bai added at the right time: "Princess, think carefully, don't Ling Xingmu and his guard Xiao Zhao have relatively high nose bridges, unlike the ordinary noses of the people in the middle and southern parts of Zhongyue?"

Yun Mujiu held his chin up and said, "Yeah, it seems that Ling Xingmu and his people's noses are just slightly lower than those of the Beihan people."

"The Northern Territory has four provinces, a large territory, and a large population." Yun Mujiu frowned, "The Northern Territory is vast and populated, will it pose a threat to Zhongyue's national security?"

Ye Xiaohan replied: "Yes. So the emperor sent a group of people to be stationed in the northern border, and the leader among them is Ye Chudi."

Yun Mujiu added: "Even so, the Fourth Prince is only a prince. He shouldn't be a big threat to the Northern Territory Commander, right?"

I heard that the Ling family has been in charge of the Northern Territory for many years. No matter how powerful Ye Chudi is, he is just a prince with only some military power. The Northern Territory Governor cannot be easily oppressed by Ye Chudi, nor will he easily succumb to the pressure of the court, right?

Ye Xiaohan's eyes were indifferent. "Ye Chudi and his army can only play a role in balancing the Northern Territory. Fortunately, the governors of the Northern Territory have maintained a neutral position for many years. They will not openly lean towards any forces in the court, nor will they oppose the Zhongyue royal family."

He concluded: "So far, the Northern Territory Governor has been behaving in a standard manner."

Yun Mujiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and then showed a puzzled expression.

"The Fourth Prince has been stationed in the Northern Territory for many years. Could he be involved with the Northern Territory Governor and the Ling family? If the Fourth Prince and the Northern Territory Governor get together, I'm afraid Zhongyue will have to change again..."

Yun Mujiu's worries are justified. The competition for the throne has always been fierce, and all means are used. At present, Ye Chudi does not have a good background like the Crown Prince and the Crane King, but if Ye Chudi gains power in the Northern Realm, it is hard to guarantee that Zhongyue will not face new dangers...

Ye Xiaohan paused and glanced at Yun Mujiu.

"Ye Chudi had little to do with the people of the Northern Realm before. Now, on the surface, he still has little to do with the people of the Northern Realm, but it is not ruled out that he may have started to make friends with the Northern Realm Governor and the Ling family behind the Governor in private."

Yun Mujiu concentrated, "Your Majesty, we need to shift some of our attention to the Northern Territory recently."

"Yeah. I've been paying attention." Ye Xiaohan retracted his gaze from Yun Mujiu and continued walking forward, with a curled lip. He didn't expect that Yun Mujiu also had a unique and sharp insight into government affairs.

Mu Mu is an extraordinary woman...

Yun Mujiu smiled calmly. One of the reasons why Ye Xiaohan did not drive Ling Xingmu away was because she had taken great pains to save Ling Xingmu, and Ye Xiaohan respected her duties as a doctor.

Now she knew the second reason. The reason why Ye Xiaohan did not reveal Ling Xingmu's sudden arrival in Beijing to the emperor and the Northern Territory was because Ling Xingmu had a special identity. By protecting Ling Xingmu's safety, Ye Xiaohan was also protecting the stability of Zhongyue's court.

Ye Xiaohan and the other two sat in the carriage, and the driver started driving the horses.

Ye Xiaohan looked at the thoughtful Yun Mujiu and added, "The Northern Territory Governor has three sons, and Ling Xingmu is the youngest. From an outsider's perspective, Ling Xingmu is the most ordinary of the three sons, and he is not often taken seriously by the Northern Territory Governor."

Yun Mujiu saw the emotion flashing across Ye Xiaohan's eyes and took the initiative to reply: "However, even if he is the least favored child, Ling Xingmu still has an important position to the North Realm."

"Ah."

Yun Mujiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe the commander-in-chief deliberately ignored Ling Xingmu in order to hone him, and Ling Xingmu himself also deliberately concealed his shortcomings in order to avoid the hostility of others?"

Her eyes were unpredictable - "Maybe Ling Xingmu is a potential stock..."

Ye Xiaohan and Wei Bai's eyes flashed with emotion at the same time, and they turned to look at Yun Mujiu. Yun Mujiu's guess was exactly what they thought.

Ling Xingmu is probably not an ordinary person...

The carriage stopped at the backyard of Herb Hall. Yun Mujiu covered her face with a veil, and Ye Xiaohan put on a dark cloud-patterned veil.

After Wei Bo put on a small round orange hat, he also glued a fake beard on his face. Wei Song, who was dressed as a coachman, rolled his eyes at Wei Bo helplessly, with contempt in his eyes.

The four people got off the carriage. Yun Mujiu asked the three of them to sit in the inner room of a clinic, and then she took a walk around the herbal hall.

After a while, Yun Mujiu called Fu Qian, Wang Gui, Qingxiu, Yingliu, as well as Suixi and Fusang who arrived in another carriage, and they all came to the outer room of the clinic together.

Yun Mujiu asked them to learn more about the recent purchase of death warriors in the Renyazi market. Suixi, Yingliu and others spent a long time selecting, and after careful screening, they finally selected a group of excellent warriors who met Yun Mujiu's requirements.

These people were arranged to go to the villa of Qingxiu, the first batch of subordinates.

The courtyard was divided into two areas, one half was occupied by Qingxiu, the female doctor and other servants, and the other half was occupied by warriors, who were the first group of forces cultivated by Yun Mujiu and were loyal only to her.

After everyone finished discussing the matter, Wang Ming came to report: servants from four wealthy families came to the Herbal Hall and wanted to ask the doctor in charge of the Herbal Hall or Master Mu to come and see their sons.

Yun Mujiu refused immediately upon hearing this, "Drive them away. Just tell them that Herb Hall does not serve these useless people with ulterior motives and gossiping!"

Humph! They were gossiping and slandering her reputation yesterday, and now they can't stand the pain of a broken throat and want her or her people to treat them. Don't even think about it!

Wang Ming was ordered to retreat, and called a few servants from the Herb Hall to drive away the servants. When they left, they were shocked, and they had never expected Yun Mujiu to be so ruthless and not give any face to the powerful family behind them.

After Yun Mujiu finished her discussion, she asked Ying Liu to settle down the assassins first, and she would go to inspect the situation in a few days.

A total of one hundred people were safely arranged in the other courtyard.

Yun Mujiu had her own way of managing people, and she was not worried at all that these people would dare to betray her. If anyone had the idea of ​​betraying her, the various poisons in her hand would be enough to torture them to death.

Yun Mujiu turned around and smiled at Ye Xiaohan, her eyes curved like a crescent.

"Let's go to the Laurel House and the Hundred Flowers Garden and have dinner together."
