The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Xiao Zhao was holding a tray with a thick stack of banknotes on it.

Ling Xingmu nodded: "Princess Ye, this is five million taels of medical fee, please accept it. Thank you for your miraculous healing and saving my life."

Yun Mujiu had asked Fu Qian to find Ling Xingmu. Since Ling Xingmu would appear in front of everyone sooner or later, it would be better to show up at Princess Gaoyang's tea party. Firstly, it would give her more exposure, and secondly, it would also help her a little.

Yun Mujiu looked at the thick banknotes and was a little surprised. She thought Ling Xingmu would pay for the consultation, but she didn't expect Ling Xingmu to prepare such a large sum of money. Five million taels of silver notes was not a small amount, enough for her to open several herbal medicine shops.

"Princess Ye, don't you think my life is not worth this price?" Ling Xingmu asked jokingly.

"No, Master Ling, that's not what I meant." Yun Mujiu paused and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master Ling."

The attention of the people around was focused on Yun Mujiu. They wondered when Yun Mujiu had saved Ling Xingmu and why no one knew about it?

The emperor and the queen were also confused. They didn't know Ling Xingmu had come to the capital before, and they didn't know how Yun Mujiu saved Ling Xingmu...

Ling Xingmu asked Xiao Zhao to present a piece of paper that was folded several times. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was filled with the names of a bunch of gifts.

Four pairs of hibiscus stone covered censers with coiled dragon ears.

Ten blue glass gemstone bracelets.

Twenty cups in the shape of flowers in pastel green.

Five tourmaline and aquamarine court beads.

...

Each treasure was of great value, and people stared with their eyes wide open.

Ling Xingmu clasped his fists towards Ye Xiaohan, and then said to Yun Mujiu: "Princess Ye, I have sent a message back to the Northern Territory to send the gifts as soon as possible, but the Northern Territory is far away from the capital, so it will take some time to transport the goods to the capital."

"Today I will make a list of gifts and give it to you along with the medical fee. When someone delivers the gifts to the capital, I will bring someone to deliver them to Ye Mansion in person."

Ling Xingmu's words seemed extremely sincere. The reason why he did not talk too much with Ye Xiaohan was to avoid suspicion in front of others.

Because everyone thought that it was Yun Mujiu who saved him, so he started to have contact with Yun Mujiu, and what he did was to repay Yun Mujiu for saving his life, not to have any political dealings with the Night King faction that were related to the interests of both parties.

Yun Mujiu smiled sincerely. Ling Xingmu wanted to express her gratitude, but she didn't want to refuse too much in front of others.

She did not answer everyone's questions about Ling Xingmu, but nodded to Ling Xingmu: "Thank you, Mr. Ling."

Yun Xiang, Yun Shirou and Ye Shi gritted their teeth. Yun Mujiu made so much money just by saving a patient. How could they not be jealous? You know, the Yun family has been living beyond their means for many days!

Yun Mujiu stood in the middle of the open space, smiled at the emperor and empress, then turned around and pointed at Princess Gaoyang and the other bad women.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Master Ling is another great witness to prove that I left the palace. I think everyone knows Master Ling's background, and Master Ling will not lie."

Ling Xingmu continued, "It was Princess Ye who treated me recently and gave me follow-up visits from time to time. Therefore, there is no such thing as 'Princess Ye has been afraid to leave the house due to stress trauma after the Spring Outing Banquet.'"

In other words, Yun Mujiu did not have any psychological trauma, so how could he feel guilty? How could it be said that Yun Mujiu had gone to a brothel with criminals to fool around?

Yun Shirou was unwilling to give in, and gritted her teeth and insisted: "Princess Ye, how could you have saved Master Ling? How do I know if you are lying, or if you are forcing Master Ling to speak for you?"

Many people laughed. How could Yun Shirou be so stupid? Were the people of the Ling family in the Northern Realm so easily threatened? And Yun Mujiu had no need to deceive Master Ling to show up just to have one more witness!

However, they were also curious about how Yun Mujiu saved Master Ling!

"Good question." Yun Mujiu clapped his hands, "I just wanted to say that."

"Two new stores have recently opened in the capital, one is called Yueguilou and the other is called Baihuayuan. I think many people have heard about this. It was on the day when these two stores opened that I ran into Mr. Ling who was ill on the road."

Ling Xingmu added: "When I was traveling in other places in Zhongyue, I suffered from a strange abdominal pain for no reason. I looked for doctors everywhere, but there was no improvement."

"On the first day after arriving in the capital, I became seriously ill and nearly lost my life. It was Princess Ye's timely appearance that saved my life. Since then, I have not had any severe pain in my abdomen. Now I am getting better day by day and will soon be able to return to my original healthy condition."

Everyone nodded as they listened. Wait, what? Colic!

They immediately thought of the day when Laurel Tower and Hundred Flowers Garden opened, when a young man indeed suffered from abdominal pain in the carriage, and then a young man in black persuaded the sick young man to let him come for treatment.

If you think carefully about the dress of that young man in black...isn't that young man in black the owner of Laurel Tower and Hundred Flowers Garden!

Everyone's expression changed suddenly, with different looks.

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Yes, as everyone guessed, I am the owner of Yueguilou and Baihuayuan."

Except for Ye Xiaohan, Ye Chuhe and Princess Ji Ling, all other members of the royal family were shocked. The emperor, empress, prince and others were extremely surprised. The mysterious boss they had tried so hard to find turned out to be Yun Mujiu!

Princess Gaoyang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. It turned out that Yun Mujiu was the mysterious boss who was targeting her business everywhere!

At this time, in a dark corner of the garden, three people were hiding there. Two of them were dressed in gray, and the man in the middle was dressed in black, but his eyes were covered with circles of white gauze.

That's right, Ye Chufeng finally arrived at the Princess's residence. He was a martial artist himself, and there were people with strong martial arts skills around him, so he was able to sneak into the Princess's residence with the help of those around him.

Listening to Yun Mujiu's indifferent voice, Ye Chufeng raised his lips slightly. As expected, Yun Mujiu had already prepared for this Hongmen Banquet.

Ye Xiaohan said coldly: "After the princess treated Master Ling, the prince and the princess went to visit Master Ling together."

With Ye Xiaohan's words, everyone understood the situation more clearly. Since Yun Mujiu had been out of the Ye Palace many times, how could it be possible that Yun Mujiu was afraid to leave the palace for psychological reasons?

Yun Shirou's back suddenly collapsed. The Yun Mansion and the palace secret guards had found out that Yun Mujiu had not left the mansion, so the fact that Yun Mujiu did not leave the mansion was also a strong reason for them to attack Yun Mujiu.

Unexpectedly, their reason was wrong from the beginning. Yun Mujiu not only frequently left the house, but also successfully hid it from their eyes.

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan, his eyes silently indicating - all crises have been successfully resolved, now it's time for us to settle accounts!
