The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

That night, Prime Minister Yun was worried about the rumors about Yun Shirou, while Ye Shi kept blaming Prime Minister Yun - not only did he not send anyone to protect their daughter, but he also drank tea leisurely with another woman while his daughter was unconscious.

"Enough!" Yun Xiang finally couldn't stand Ye's nagging anymore, and his square face became stern. What a sin he had committed! Not only did he have Yun Mujiu, that evil daughter, but now he has Ye, this shrewish wife!

Ye was stunned and stared at Yun Xiang angrily.

Yun Xiang was furious: "How many times have I told you this! Miss Hongzhu came to visit me out of kindness to check on my condition. It's not what you think!"

"Master..." Ye's eyes were filled with tears, feeling aggrieved and unfair.

Yun Xiang looked at Ye Clan coldly, with no emotion in his eyes. Ye Qingyan no longer had the help of the Ye Clan, and now he had become even more stupid. How could he expect him to show any good face?

Ye was shocked when she saw Yun Xiang's cold eyes. She had seen such cold and terrifying eyes before.

Not long after Meng married into the Yun Mansion, she often came to the Yun Mansion to visit Meng. Many times when no one was paying attention, she saw the Prime Minister looking at Meng quietly with cold eyes.

Yun Xiang snorted coldly, "It's alright, just leave and don't bother me here!"

Ye cried. The Prime Minister didn't treat her like this before. Every time she pretended to be aggrieved and weak, the Prime Minister would hold her in his arms.

While the two were arguing, they heard the servants say that someone had come to the palace. Yun Xiang thought hard and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Was he going to be finished? The entire Yun Mansion was going to be finished!

Someone from the palace brought a message, saying that the emperor wanted to summon Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang had no time to think about it, so he could only hurriedly follow Eunuch Li into the palace.

"Bang!" A loud slap on the table was heard.

The emperor picked up a jade brush with a dragon pattern and smashed it directly into Yun Xiang's face.

Yun Xiang didn't dare to dodge and watched the brush hit his face. It hurt, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Pah..." The fine jade brush fell to the ground and broke into a pile of pieces.

"Yun Boliang, do you know your mistake?" The emperor spoke in a majestic voice, and he immediately addressed Prime Minister Yun to save his face.

Yun Xiang's face changed drastically. The emperor rarely called him by his name. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I am terrified! Forgive my stupidity. I don't know where I have done wrong."

"Hmph!" The Emperor pointed at Yun Xiang's nose and cursed, "The situation in the capital is unstable, and not only can you not help, you're also causing more trouble! You can't even manage the affairs of your own house!"

Yun Xiang's forehead was sweating, and he guessed that the emperor might have found out something. But he didn't know how much the emperor knew, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.

The emperor knew that Prime Minister Yun was a coward, so he asked directly, "Is it true that your second daughter caused such a big commotion?"

Yun Xiang was disappointed. The emperor knew about his daughter's accident. If he continued to play dumb, he would be beheaded.

"Your Majesty, my youngest daughter did leave the palace that night, and the carriage she was riding in was robbed."

"Are the rumors true?" the emperor continued to ask.

Prime Minister Yun nodded: "The rumor is half true and half false. My little daughter encountered bad guys, and she and her guards were severely injured. But don't worry, Your Majesty, she only suffered internal and external injuries, nothing else happened!"

For the sake of future glory and wealth, he would never admit that his daughter's innocence was at stake! Otherwise, not only would his daughter's life be in jeopardy, but he and the Yun family would also suffer.

Firstly, both the Emperor and the Queen knew that the Crown Prince had been in a relationship with Shi Rou. If Shi Rou lost her innocence, they would definitely clean out the Yun Mansion for the sake of the royal family’s face!

Secondly, if people knew that Shi Rou had a bad reputation, not only would she not be able to marry into the royal family, she would probably have trouble marrying into even a wealthy family!

Yun Xiang spoke bluntly, saying that Yun Shirou was just beaten and robbed, and nothing else happened.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Really?" The Dragon Staff Guards found blood and signs of fighting at the scene, and the Yun Mansion guards that night were all beaten unconscious. As for what happened to Yun Shirou's body, perhaps only the criminals knew the truth.

Yun Xiang risked his life, "Your Majesty, please take my words seriously!" It was rumored that there was a secret technique in Jiangnan that could repair a woman's body. Then he would find a way to find a miracle person to help Shi Rou.

Yun Shirou is not the prince's fiancée, and they have never officially revealed their lover status in public. Therefore, as the prince's father, the emperor cannot do some things to the end. He can't send the old nanny to investigate Yun Shirou, right?

The emperor didn't care how many concubines the prince married, as long as the candidate for the crown prince's consort matched the prince's background. So even though the prince and Yun Shirou had been secretly close before, he didn't say anything, because he never intended to let Yun Shirou be the crown prince's consort.

Now he was asking about Yun Shirou's situation, firstly to find out the truth, secondly to save the royal family's reputation, and thirdly to consider the prince's future. Even if the prince wanted to marry a concubine, he could not marry a woman with a bad reputation.

To put it another way, regardless of whether Yun Shirou was in trouble or not, he would not consider letting the prince marry Yun Shirou.

The emperor knew his limits and seeing that Prime Minister Yun was confident, he did not ask any further questions.

It's not that the emperor was careless, but that Yun Xiang was too desperate for wealth and glory. I'm afraid the emperor did not expect that Yun Xiang would dare to risk his life so much and not be afraid of being beheaded for deceiving the emperor. He also did not expect that Yun Xiang, who had been a errand boy for many years, had rebelled and dared to hide it from him.

The emperor stared at Yun Xiang and asked, "Have you found the real culprit?"

"Your Majesty, not yet." In order to prove that Yun Shirou was only robbed, Yun Xiang added: "Maybe those criminals went to other places to rob."

The emperor didn't say anything for a long time, then said, "I will send someone to help you investigate this matter."

Yun Xiang was so frightened that his legs were about to go weak. What if the emperor found the real murderer and his lies were exposed?

When the emperor speaks, there is no reason for the minister to refuse. Yun Xiang was so moved that he cried, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Yun Xiang returned to the Yun Mansion, his legs became weak and he could only walk with the help of others. He just hoped that the emperor would not find out anything, otherwise he would be in trouble!

Ever since Yun Mujiu stole a large sum of money from the Yun Mansion, Yun Lian couldn't afford to support the secret guards. He had sold a large number of secret guards and servants, leaving only a few useful secret guards around him.

Yun Xiang scribbled a note and handed it to a secret guard.

"Send a pigeon to Jiangnan to see if there is really a secret technique that can repair a person's body."

The secret guard stepped back and placed the note securely on the pigeon's leg.

However, not long after the carrier pigeon flew out of the Yun Mansion's wall, it was shot down by someone with a slingshot.
