The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu put down the work in his hands and carefully put away the four round hats.

Afterwards, he went to the study to find Ye Xiaohan.

Wei Song was the only one left in the study room, so Ye Xiaohan went to the training ground to check on the soldiers' training progress.

Wei Song stood up and asked, "What is the important matter that the princess came to see the prince for?"

"It's okay. I'll just come over for a walk. And see if there's any new news."

Yun Mujiu had instructed that if she didn't have any urgent matters, she shouldn't go to the medicine room to disturb her. Everyone in the Ye Palace remembered this instruction, and no one would take the initiative to interfere with Yun Mujiu's martial arts or medical practice.

If Yun Mujiu wanted to know some news of the day, either the servants would wait for her to report when she was free, or Yun Mujiu would take the initiative to ask for new news when she was free.

Wei Song invited Yun Mujiu to take a seat and told him what the prince had discussed with them this afternoon.

Of course, he did not say anything about the young master. They used the power of the Hades Palace, so it was not easy to tell the princess. If they said they were looking for the young master, the princess might have discovered another mysterious identity of the prince.

For the five nations on the Xingyue Continent, only a small number of people knew about the disappearance of the young master. After the top people knew about it, they might assign tasks to the people below them, but they would not reveal all the information. The people below only knew to find a person according to the requirements.

Firstly, the young master has a special identity. Once many people know about it, it will inevitably cause more trouble. Who knows, the person who murdered the young master might make another move and kill him directly.

Secondly, the more people know about the young master's secrets, the greater the danger these insiders are in. For the rewards, for the new clues, and for the fight for the young master, the various factions will fight for it, and all kinds of cruel means will emerge one after another. Those who don't know about the young master's affairs are fine, but those who do know face multiple risks. As the saying goes, "The more you know, the faster you die."

Wei Song thought about it for a while and didn't tell anyone about the young master. The prince and Wei Bai probably thought the same...

Yun Mujiu felt more relieved when she learned that Ye Xiaohan had made all the arrangements. The emperor would eventually be desperate and would consider her, the prince's consort who knew medicine.

However, the emperor has not yet completely collapsed. Not only are Wu and his daughter still alive, but the emperor also has other hopes - sending people to other countries to find new miracle doctors. The miracle doctors of Dutigu and the Eastern Empire are exactly what the emperor wants to find.

After Yun Mujiu finished chatting with Wei Song, he saw Du Ziheng coming over with a pile of official documents.

"Princess, are you waiting for the prince?"

"I guess so. Wei Song just told me the news from the palace."

"I see." Du Ziheng put the official document on the table. "The prince is discussing matters with several generals and will be back in a while."

"It's okay. I'll sit here for a while and wait for the prince."

Yun Mujiu and the other two took their seats, and the servants brought them three cups of cool tea.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Du Ziheng and began to ponder. Du Ziheng had already finished reading the medical book left by Wu Shenyi, and annotated the book with similar contents to the ancient medical book that Du Digu had lost.

During this period, Yun Mujiu went back and reread the medical book left by his late master Du Ziheng, and he really found something wrong. Some of the contents in Wu Shenyi's medical book were similar to those of Master Du Ziheng's medical book, but there were not many similarities!

The common medical and pharmacological knowledge in the world is universal, but some more advanced or unique secret techniques are not known to everyone. In other words, it is possible that Wu Shenyi's medical book really borrowed or plagiarized the content of Dudigu's medical book!

Yun Mujiu told Du Ziheng about his thoughts, and then thought: "Du Digu's medical books have never been passed on to others. How did Doctor Wu know the contents of the books?"

"Moreover, the history of Dutigu's ancient medical book is older than that of Wu Shenyi. Of course, it is impossible that Dutigu borrowed the medical knowledge accumulated by Wu Shenyi. Maybe there is some connection between Wu Shenyi and Dutigu?"

If there really was plagiarism, it was of course Dr. Wu who plagiarized and stole Duti Gu's things.

Du Ziheng nodded solemnly, acknowledging Yun Mujiu's doubts. His amber eyes sank slightly, and his tone was a little worried.

"Princess, I originally expected to receive a reply from the prince's secret guards in the past two days. A group of spies who had been to the vicinity of Duti Valley are rushing back to the Night Palace. Unfortunately, there is drought in some parts of our dynasty, and the riverbed has dried up. The waterway they planned to take is impassable, so they have to change the route, which delays them for some time."

"I know about this, too." Yun Mujiu paused, and whispered to comfort him, "No one can accurately predict natural disasters, and there is nothing we can do about the late return of the scouts. Doctor Wu is still in prison, so we don't need to rush these few days, just wait for them to return."

"I understand." Du Ziheng had just been scolded by Ye Xiaohan today, so he was very obedient at this moment.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Du Ziheng calmly, and saw that he lowered his head from time to time, with his shoulders slightly bent inward. It seemed that he was being taught a few more words by Ye Xiaohan.

Yun Mujiu smiled gently, "Du Ziheng, what are you afraid of?"

Wei Song answered quickly: "Princess, he was scolded by the prince today, and Wei Bo even said he was a jerk."

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly and said to Du Ziheng: "Aren't you so timid when you practice medicine?" Du Ziheng was usually impulsive like a teenager, and his temperament was sometimes impulsive and sometimes timid.

"Princess, people are different in different situations." Du Ziheng replied weakly.

"Be more confident! Even if you make a mistake, you don't have to keep it in mind. It's good to correct it as soon as you know it. No matter what happens, you won't die. Anyway, as long as you are alive, you have to fight for your life!"

Du Ziheng's expression froze, and his pupils slightly dilated. He didn't know what he was thinking, then he raised his head and said in a strong voice: "I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Princess!"

Yun Mujiu nodded with satisfaction, her eyes rolling as she recalled the words she had used to encourage Du Ziheng. Self-confidence? Correcting mistakes? Fighting for face?

As long as you won't die, just do what you want!

An idea came to Yun Mujiu's mind, and he quickly asked, "Du Ziheng, have you been in contact with the people in Duti Valley since you left the valley?"

Du Ziheng was stunned. "No. Except for the time when Master passed away, Master forced someone to send a message to me in advance, so I had contact with the people in the valley. After that, I completely cut off contact with them."

Yun Mujiu asked again: "You were expelled from the valley at the age of seventeen. Have you ever written back in the following years?"

"I wrote to them many times, but they never responded to my letters, so I gradually gave up."

"Hmm..." Yun Mujiu nodded slightly, thinking. "What did you write in those letters? Did you just write that you wanted to apply to live in the valley?"

Yun Mujiu asked questions one after another, not only was Wei Song, the bystander, a little confused, but Du Ziheng, the person being questioned, was even more confused. What exactly was the princess's intention?
