The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"Is the news you received true? Doctor Wu really has no idea how to treat my fifth brother?"

The prince was sick in bed, but he still didn't forget Ye Chuhe, who was the biggest threat to him. If Doctor Shi hadn't said that Doctor Wu was busy treating Ye Chuhe, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to the dynamics in the palace.

Even though he was almost dying of pain, he would never let Ye Chuhe go easily.

The guard bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the news is absolutely true. Doctor Wu is still struggling to look up medical books."

The prince snorted coldly, "Very good! Keep watching the palace for me, and make sure the fifth prince doesn't recover smoothly."

Ye Chuhe has the support of the Gao family, and his biological mother is a favorite concubine. If Ye Chuhe is not disabled, he will be the biggest threat to the prince.

Yun Mujiu did not leave the Ye Mansion today. She asked Fu Qian to bring some conditioning medicine to Ling Xingmu.

Fu Qian quietly came to the villa and handed the medicine and Yun Mujiu's handwritten medical instructions to Xiao Zhao.

Ling Xingmu rested peacefully in the villa. His health was gradually improving after the operation, but he was still a little weak.

At this time, Ling Xingmu was sitting at the table, his dark blue robe making his temperament even more outstanding.

Looking at the instructions written by Yun Mujiu, she smiled lightly. She didn't expect that the woman who was once notorious and untalented in the capital actually had superb medical skills and was also good at dealing with people.

Just by looking at the concise words and the beautiful handwriting, one can conclude that the writer is definitely not an ignorant fool.

The rumors spread by Zhongyue were false. Yun Mujiu was definitely not as bad as the rumors said. On the contrary, Yun Mujiu was a bright pearl, but her brilliance was obscured by those dirty rumors in the early stage...

From Fu Qian, Ling Xingmu learned the message from Yun Mujiu: she was going to attend the banquet hosted by Princess Gaoyang. In addition, there were a few words that Yun Mujiu asked Fu Qian to tell her...

After Fu Qian left, Ling Xingmu turned to look at Xiao Zhao, "Is there any news coming back soon?"

"Sir, I think you will receive a reply from the Northern Territory in the next few days."

"Okay, I can travel freely after receiving the letter." Ling Xingmu stood up and paced around the house.

"Then I won't have to worry about my father finding out that I came to the capital, nor will I have to worry about the emperor misunderstanding that I came to the capital for other purposes."

Fu Qian came to the Herb Hall and brought Wang Gui a batch of medicines that Yun Mujiu had just made. Afterwards, she stayed at the counter of the Herb Hall for a while and chatted with Qingxiu about the recent situation.

Even though Yun Mujiu has not been seeing patients in the past few days, Herbal Hall has three other regular doctors who are more than enough to deal with most patients' common illnesses.

After a while, Fu Qian quickly got up. She seemed to see a familiar face outside the door.

Fu Qian and Qingxiu walked towards the door, looked at each other, and then stood in a corner inside the door.

There was a woman standing outside the door, looking in. Her face was pale, and her eyes kept moving.

Then, a person dressed as a maid walked towards the woman. "Princess." The woman glared at the maid. The maid hurriedly said, "Miss, the owner of the Herb Hall still hasn't shown up to see patients today. There are only three old doctors."

"Also, Miss, many people have said that they haven't seen the owner of Herb Hall seeing patients recently, and he hasn't even appeared in public."

Fu Qian whispered to Qingxiu, "That's the princess from Beihan, Bei Liyi."

Bei Liyi poked her head in to look inside the Herb Hall a few more times, then turned and left. Great! Yun Mujiu really hadn't left the house, so now she could rest assured.

Fu Qian stayed in the Herb Hall for a while. He thought that Bei Liyi was just here to inquire about the news, but he didn't expect that another person would come.

Wanyan Gu and his followers went straight into the herbal store, and under the introduction of Shopkeeper Wang, they bought some Chinese herbal medicine packages for nourishing the body. Before leaving, Wanyan Gu glanced around a few more times. Seeing Fu Qian standing aside, his gaze paused for a moment, and then quickly retracted.

Fu Qian often stays in the Herb Hall, so it is normal for Wanyan Gu to feel familiar with Fu Qian.

Wanyan Gu left the Herb Hall and stayed in the Laurel Tower and the Hundred Flowers Garden for a long time.

He sighed inexplicably and complained to the guards around him: "We traveled through the busiest streets in the capital and visited some shops with booming business. There was no trace of Yun Mujiu in Herb Hall, nor in other places." You know, like before, he had also met Yun Mujiu by chance when he went out.

What was going on? The Ye Mansion had not announced to the public that it was closed because the princess was recuperating, so why had Yun Mujiu not appeared?

Wanyan Gu's pupils were suddenly startled and he patted his chest.

"Tudan, could it be that the rumors are true?"

"A young lady in the capital was kidnapped a few months ago? I heard that she was a young lady from the Yun Mansion?" And the only two young ladies in the Yun Mansion were Yun Mujiu and Yun Shirou.

Tu Dan paused, not knowing how to respond. He could only say, "Second Prince, I have not found any clues about this rumor at the moment."

Tu Shan added: "When we came here just now, we happened to see Princess Bei leaving. Princess Wan should also want to investigate the whereabouts of Princess Ye."

"Hmph!" Wanyan Gu was a little unhappy when he heard Bei Liyi, and kept scolding: "That woman is very nosy, trying to steal the limelight at every banquet. I guess she has been up to no good intentions recently..."

"Let's go." Wanyan Gu stood up and signaled Tudan to take the items he had just purchased in Baihua Garden. After thinking for a while, he said, "Beiliyi may start to jump around again. Yun Mujiu hasn't left the house for a long time, and there is no news."

"All these mysteries will only be solved when Yun Mujiu appears. Let's wait and see what good things will happen next!"

At the same time, Yun Mujiu stayed safely in Ye Mansion and learned about what was happening outside from Fu Qian.

"Beiliyi is standing at the door of the Herbal Hall, and Wanyan Gu is entering the store to buy medicine? These two are really interesting, and they are so lively in Zhongyue's territory."

Fu Qian was a little confused, "Princess, Prince Wan doesn't look sick, why did he come to the herbal store to buy medicine? I remember that Prince Wan was taught a lesson by the prince."

Wanyan Gu had attacked Yun Mujiu first, and then was severely beaten by Ye Xiaohan. Logically, Wanyan Gu should not easily get involved in Yun Mujiu's affairs, but now Wanyan Gu dared to openly come to the Herb Hall to buy medicine and had contact with the owner of the Herb Hall.

Yun Mujiu was very calm and said to Fu Qian, "Wanyan Gu probably doesn't have any bad intentions. He is just a prince from another country. He came to Zhongyue to find out more about the situation and learn about some things about the Zhongyue royal family and the dignitaries in the capital."

Afterwards, Yun Mujiu instructed Ying Liu: "Although Wanyan Gu has no other thoughts for the time being, you should still keep an eye on him before the banquet to prevent any new changes from happening on his side."

Not long after the words fell, Ye Xiaohan walked over.

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan's calm steps and upright posture, and his heart was inexplicably moved. The warm scene of talking with Ye Xiaohan a few hours ago was still vivid in his mind.

Ye Xiaohan brought a message to Yun Mujiu—the message had already been delivered to the imperial military camp.

"Okay." Yun Mujiu withdrew the little romantic thought in his heart.

"That's good. Their good sisters have also learned about the outside world." Yun Mujiu's eyes darkened instantly, and he raised the corner of his mouth. "Yun Shirou's good sisters may be able to bite back at those who betrayed her..."
