The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"I just received news from Zong Quan this morning." Ye Xiaohan put down his official notebook, stood up and took the lunch box from Yun Mujiu.

The two of them came to the round dining table and sat down one by one.

"Wu Mingwei is not dead, but she is seriously injured and almost dying." Ye Xiaohan opened the lunch box and took out the food inside.

"Mumu, what is this?"

"The new medicinal porridge I prepared for the prince, taken together with the flower tea I prescribed for the prince, will help calm the mind and concentrate."

Ye Xiaohan raised his lips slightly and whispered "OK".

"Then has your Highness been sleeping better recently? Has your insomnia improved?"

"Much better, thanks to the help of you, the doctor." Ye Xiaohan said frankly. He picked up the spoon and drank the porridge gracefully.

Yun Mujiu smiled gently, "I'm glad it helps. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere else, please tell me."

"I know Mu Mu cares about me." Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that my insomnia symptoms have improved, but not much."

"Is the prescription incompatible with the prince?" Yun Mujiu rolled up his wide sleeves, "Come, let me check the prince's pulse."

Ye Xiaohan shook his head, "No need. I'm just missing one herb."

Yun Mujiu was curious: "What medicinal ingredients?" Could it be that she was careless and forgot to add an ingredient?

"You." Ye Xiaohan curled his lips and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Yun Mujiu was stunned at first, then he reacted and shook his sleeves.

"You! Your Majesty, please stop teasing me!" Really, when did Ye Xiaohan become so sinister!

In the past, Ye Xiaohan always looked like he kept strangers away, but who would have thought that he was actually a sinister prince!

"I'm not kidding you. I'm telling the truth." Ye Xiaohan stopped what he was doing and looked at Yun Mujiu seriously.

Yun Mujiu's face turned slightly red, and her mind raced. "Do you want me to add some of my blood to the prince?"

"No!" Ye Xiaohan pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that Mu Mu was fighting back against her. This girl was sometimes very competitive!

"Haha..." Yun Mujiu laughed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't let you drink my blood. I know that Your Majesty has a serious mysophobia."

"It's not because of mysophobia." Ye Xiaohan held Yun Mujiu's hand, "What blood primer is a medicine? Mumu, don't believe this. Your body is the most important. Don't do anything that will hurt your body. Even for me, don't hurt yourself."

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan seriously with a hint of worry in her eyes, and thought of her body that had been harmed by toxins for many years.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't do anything to harm my body. I value my life very much!"

"That's great." Ye Xiaohan continued to scoop the porridge and drank it, and handed Yun Mujiu a spoonful of warm porridge.

Yun Mujiu shook his head, "I've eaten and can't eat anymore. Your Majesty, you eat first."

As she spoke, she seemed to guess what Ye Xiaohan might say next. She raised her lips and smiled, and quickly said in advance: "I didn't poison it. Your Majesty, don't worry about eating it."

Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu helplessly. The girl in front of him was really vindictive.

The last time Mu Mu sent her dessert, he joked that it might be poisoned so Mu Mu refused to drink it. Unexpectedly, this time, before he said anything, Mu Mu remembered the joke first.

Ye Xiaohan drank a few sips and put down the bowl. "I know it's not poisonous." His tone was a little deep, with a look of resentment on his face: "If it is poisonous, I will die and you will become a widow."

"Your Highness, you mean that my life will be hard after I become a widow, right?" Yun Mujiu held up his chin and said seriously, "As the saying goes, 'there are many troubles in front of a widow'. Your Highness thinks that my life as a widow may not be easy, right?"

"Without me here, who will take care of you and love you?" Ye Xiaohan snorted coldly.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Mujiu put her hands on her waist, "I'll find another man, then I won't be a widow anymore!"

Ye Xiaohan opened his eyes wide. He never expected Yun Mujiu to come up with such a surprising answer.

"You dare! Yun Mujiu, I think you have become bolder, haven't you?" He had spoiled Yun Mujiu during this period of time.

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Yun Mujiu was angry, stiffening his neck, "Now that the prince is gone, how can he still control me?"

Ye Xiaohan sneered: "Don't worry, even if I die, you can't escape from the Night Palace, let alone run away with other men."

Looking at the four kingdoms, who in the world could be more capable and powerful than him, the regent, to protect people. If Yun Mujiu left, he would lose the protection of the Night Palace, and he would be worried...

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Does the prince have any backup plan? Then should we see who is more powerful, the prince's subordinates or me?"

"You are getting more and more daring!" Ye Xiaohan pointed at the tip of Yun Mujiu's nose.

Yun Mujiu pushed away Ye Xiaohan's fingers and said deeply: "I am so bold and arrogant! When I first entered the Ye Palace, I kept my shortcomings and tried to be tactful in order to protect myself. But, Your Majesty--"

Yun Mujiu raised her face and said in a clear voice: "I found that it is useless to keep trying to beg for mercy. Look at how cruel and ruthless the prince was to me in the early days."

"If I hadn't taken the initiative to propose a deal with the prince, and if I hadn't been able to deal with the troubles that the Yun Mansion, the palace, and its factions had created for the Ye Palace, I'm afraid the prince would have killed a useless person like me a long time ago!"

"This king never keeps useless people." Yun Mujiu was an exception. Yun Mujiu did not show her true strength at that time, so he also kept Yun Mujiu and protected her life.

"Yes, I know. The prince has been planning to kill me since the beginning. I can understand his position, but that doesn't mean I can accept him treating me like a subordinate."

"So, you have a problem with me?" Ye Xiaohan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous aura in his eyes. He had been in the military camp for many years, and the training of soldiers was even more strict and harsh. He thought he had treated the woman in front of him in a very kind way.

"Yes, I had a problem with the prince from the beginning. Doesn't the prince think that he is too cruel and indifferent to me?" Ever since she married Ye Xiaohan, she had to face so many troubles alone because of Ye Xiaohan. She was poisoned when she returned home, poisoned and made things difficult when she entered the palace to thank the emperor, she was framed as a witch by the emperor's people, and was coldly targeted by Wu Shenyi and his daughter...

"This king...this is my natural temperament." What he meant was that he was not deliberately targeting Yun Mujiu.

Moreover, he had already shown Yun Mujiu a lot of extra favors. He did not kill Yun Mujiu, and whether it was dealing with her returning home to visit her parents, entering the palace to thank her, or solving the problem of the people making trouble to catch the witch, or the repeated secret harassment of Yun Mujiu by Doctor Wu and his daughter, he had secretly helped Yun Mujiu, but his outward appearance was very ruthless to Yun Mujiu.

At the beginning, he couldn't let Yun Mujiu see his true mental state. Even if he had been protecting Yun Mujiu in his heart, he couldn't let Yun Mujiu know his true feelings, otherwise he would be too passive. If Yun Mujiu knew too much, he would still hold him tightly.

The Night King has to keep his arrogant attitude for many years...

Ye Xiaohan paused and raised his chin slightly: "Besides, didn't I realize my mistake and correct it later?"

"Your Majesty, if you hadn't changed in time, I would have run away long ago."

"Hmm?" Ye Xiaohan was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?" He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. What Yun Mujiu wanted to say might be what he least wanted to hear...
