The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw a group of people walking quickly towards her.

Fusang walked to the front of Yun Mujiu, with a posture of protecting Yun Mujiu. Yun Mujiu gently pulled Fusang's sleeve, and Fusang nodded slightly, knowing that the princess meant to observe the other party's intentions first.

The leader raised the lantern, the dim pearl light shone on her face, and bowed her head in salute. The palace maids and eunuchs behind her knelt down in salute.

"Greetings to Princess Ye. I am Nanny Pei, who is by the Queen's side. I am here on the Queen's orders to invite Princess Ye to come over and have a seat for a while."

"Madame Pei, no need to be so polite." Yun Mujiu raised her hand lightly.

"Madam Pei, I wonder if the Queen wants me to come over for some important matter?" The Queen summoned her over so late at night, it couldn't be anything good.

Thinking of the medicine that the Queen gave her last time to nourish her body and prepare for pregnancy, a hint of deep meaning flashed across her eyes.

"Princess Ye, the Queen has not seen you for a long time, and would like to meet you briefly." Nanny Pei lowered her eyebrows and added, "I would like to ask you about the Queen Mother's health while I am here."

"I see." Yun Mujiu's expression was indifferent. If she had simply said that she wanted to meet him, she could have refused. But the Queen mentioned the Queen Mother, and she had received the Queen's order to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother. It would not be a good idea not to report to the Queen at this time.

Yun Mujiu didn't say whether he would go or not, so Nanny Pei and her group felt a little nervous and lowered their heads to guess what Yun Mujiu meant.

Madam Kong showed a trace of worry in her eyes, and smiled at Madam Pei, "Madam Kong, Princess Ye has just finished seeing the Queen Mother. It's getting dark now, Princess Ye can leave the palace to rest first, and then come back to the palace for a follow-up consultation another day to meet with the Queen Mother. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Nanny Pei shook her head slightly and said firmly, "This is the Queen's order."

Nanny Kong was speechless. She was just a servant, so how could she say anything?

Yun Mujiu sneered in her heart. She had just left the Queen's people alone for a while, and already they couldn't sit still.

He tilted his head and gave Madam Kong a reassuring look. He looked at the Queen and said in a cold voice, "Since the Queen wants to see me, how can I not go? Lead the way."

Nanny Pei was slightly delighted and nodded quickly.

Yun Mujiu turned around and said to Madam Kong, "I'll go for a while. Madam, you don't have to disturb the Queen Mother's rest for me."

Madam Kong had a subtle expression on her face, but she finally agreed. Princess Ye wanted the Queen Mother to have a good rest, and was also hinting that she could handle the meeting with the Queen on her own.

Yun Mujiu got on the sedan chair and headed towards Fengyi Palace.

Not long after Yun Mujiu left, some people in the palace learned about the developments in front of Renshou Palace.

Some people couldn't help but take a deep breath when they thought of the past when the Queen and Yun Mujiu almost became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The Queen summoned Princess Ye because she was really worried about the Queen Mother, or because she was resentful of the Night Palace for suppressing the Prince's good reputation?

When Ye Chuhe heard that Yun Mujiu was taken away, he sent two young eunuchs to keep an eye on Fengyi Palace.

Ye Chufeng remained calm and continued to send people to keep an eye on Yun Mujiu's movements.

Outside the palace, Ye Xiaohan glanced at the hourglass in the corner of the study and estimated that the time was almost up.

Send Lai Wei Bai, "Send someone to the palace gate to see if the princess is about to return."

"Yes!" Wei Bai immediately called two personal guards and ordered them to leave the house quickly.

The two guards used Qinggong to quickly reach the palace gate. But now it was already past the time for the palace gate to be locked, and they could only wait here for Suixi and the eight guards to come out and report the latest situation of the princess.

In Fengyi Palace, Yun Mujiu stood below the Queen and saluted without being humble or arrogant.

The queen smiled gently and kindly, and waved her hand to let Yun Mujiu take a seat.

Looking at the teacup brought by the servant, Yun Mujiu did not immediately pick up the teacup to drink. She remembered that when she first met the queen, the queen gave her a bracelet with a drug that would end her fertility. Then, for some unknown reason, the queen gave her a batch of tonics that would help her prepare for pregnancy.

The Queen did not ask Yun Mujiu to drink tea. When a guest came, it was in accordance with etiquette for the palace maids to serve tea to him. Whether the guest drank tea or not, and when to drink tea, these decisions were entirely up to the guest himself. The Queen could not force the guest to drink tea now.

Yun Mujiu glanced at the person sitting in the main seat calmly. She was dressed in decent makeup and decent clothes. Oh, the queen was still dressed like this at this late hour. It seemed that she had been waiting for her guest to arrive for a long time, right?

The Queen had a faint smile on her face and exchanged a few words with Yun Mujiu, but Yun Mujiu was indifferent and sent away, which made it impossible for the Queen to find out the latest information about her and the Night Palace, and she couldn't find any faults with her.

The queen smiled faintly and did not ask any further questions. Instead, she asked about the empress dowager's condition.

Yun Mujiu briefly described the Queen Mother's condition and the treatment plan, but she did not describe in detail how to treat the Queen Mother, especially the three aspects of initial treatment, in-depth treatment, and surgery.

Intuition tells me that the Queen is not a simple person and we should not reveal too much personal information to her.

The Queen listened attentively, her face full of filial piety, as if she missed the Queen Mother.

Yun Mujiu raised her hand and lightly touched the surface of the teacup, as if to feel the temperature of the tea. The doctor's system did not give her any warning of danger.

She picked up the teacup and, using her wide sleeves to cover it, pretended to be a dignified lady drinking tea. However, she took the opportunity to pour some tea onto the handkerchief at the cuff.

The queen glanced at Yun Mujiu and lowered her head to take a few sips of tea.

"The Queen Mother's health has improved temporarily, but you still can't slack off easily. It's getting late today, so why don't you stay in the palace to prevent the Queen Mother from feeling unwell again."

"Empress?" Yun Mujiu put down the teacup and pretended to be slightly surprised.

"This is my decree. The Queen Mother's safety is the most important. You will stay in the palace tonight."

Yun Mujiu said nothing, her eyes moved slightly. Before entering the palace, she had guessed that she might not be able to return home tonight and would have to wait until tomorrow. Now that she saw the queen, it was indeed the case.

"Yes, I understand." Yun Mujiu responded with a disappointed look on his face.

Changing the subject, "Since I am accompanying the Queen Mother in the palace tonight, I have to inform the prince, otherwise the prince will worry about me." Yun Mujiu showed a shy smile and twisted his handkerchief with his hands. "It would be bad if I angered the prince..."

These words made it sound like Ye Xiaohan might be cruel and cruel when he was angry. But if you listen carefully, it seems to have a hint of showing affection.

The queen looked at Yun Mujiu's expression, pursed her lips and said, "King Ye will be relieved if you stay in the palace."

Yun Mujiu nodded and quickly ordered: "Fusang, Xia He, go out and inform the guards."

Fusang and Xia He received the order and prepared to leave. Yun Mujiu and his servants acted very quickly, not giving the queen a chance to send someone in person. Who knows what message the queen will send to the Night Palace...
