The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu had already ordered her maid to take action. Seeing this, the queen pursed her lips and didn't say anything to ask her servants to report the news to Yun Mujiu.

At this time, Madam Kong came to Fengyi Palace and brought a message, saying that the Queen Mother woke up feeling a little unwell, and specifically asked Princess Ye to stay overnight in Renshou Palace.

Yun Mujiu quickly looked at the queen and did not miss the flash of surprise in the queen's eyes.

While the Queen was in a daze, she wanted to visit the Queen Mother in person, but Nanny Kong politely declined the request, saying that the Queen Mother was tired.

The queen glanced at Yun Mujiu, paused, and then let Yun Mujiu leave with a smile.

The night was dim, the crescent moon was blocked by dark clouds, and the sky became darker.

Tonight, Yun Mujiu stayed in a side hall of Renshou Palace.

This move has attracted the attention of many people...

One of them was the emperor who had just received the news. After Yun Mujiu left, the queen went to the imperial study room carrying a food box.

When the emperor heard that the empress dowager had Yun Mujiu taken away, a crack appeared on his indifferent face, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, he said calmly: "Since it is the Queen Mother's order, I will just act according to her wishes."

In the early morning, when it was just getting light, Yun Mujiu woke up.

The people in the Empress Dowager's palace haven't come to look for her yet, which means the Empress Dowager hasn't woken up yet, so she doesn't have to get up so early and can just lie down.

Last night, Yun Mujiu followed Nanny Kong to Renshou Palace and successfully moved into a side hall that had been cleaned up in advance by the servants.

She didn't expect the Queen Mother to wake up suddenly, nor did she expect her to ask about her condition after waking up.

She intended to see the Queen Mother, but she had already gone to bed. So she went downstairs to rest, and happened to stay in a side hall next to the Queen Mother's bedroom. If the Queen Mother had any emergency at night, she could be rescued and treated in time.

When she was staying in the side hall, she guessed that the Queen Mother must have a poor sleep quality, or she was restless because of something on her mind. After the Queen Mother woke up, she took the initiative to ask about her condition, and Madam Kong told the Queen Mother that the Queen had summoned her.

In order to avoid any trouble, the Queen Mother immediately asked Nanny Kong to invite her back.

If the Queen Mother hadn't sent a nanny, she would have found a way to get away. As she speculated, the Queen wanted her to stay in Fengyi Palace, or in a palace designated by the Queen. It was possible that the Queen would do something to her sleeping place.

She had no intention of doing as the Queen wished - to sleep in a designated place. If the Queen disagreed with her idea, she would simply take out the object in her arms.

That’s right, the object in Yun Mujiu’s arms was exactly what the Night King gave her.

Yun Mujiu recalled what happened last night. The surroundings he was in were very unfamiliar, and the only trace of sleepiness in his heart disappeared.

He stood up and searched the inner sleeve pocket of his shirt.

Fusang and Chunlan were sleeping on the couch next to Yun Mujiu's bed. When they heard the noise, they quickly got up.

Chunlan asked in a low voice: "Princess, are you awake?"

"Yeah. I can't sleep. You can sleep for a while longer." Yun Mujiu replied softly.

"No. Let's get up too." Chunlan and Fusang got up, put on their clothes and came to Yun Mujiu's bed.

Fusang glanced around and found nothing unusual, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Princess, what is that in your hand?"

Yun Mujiu pursed his lips and smiled: "This is the token that the prince gave me before I entered the palace. This is a token given to the prince by the late emperor, which grants the prince some privileges different from others."

The token was carved from the finest jade, with exquisite dragon patterns engraved on the edge and three powerful and vigorous characters engraved in the center - "Ye Xiaohan."

Fusang's eyes lit up: "It seems that the princess almost used this token last night, right?"

"Yes. I don't want to act ostentatiously with the token bestowed upon you by the late emperor, but that doesn't mean I will be restricted in every way."

Yun Mujiu gently rubbed the token and continued, "I could stay in the palace last night because of the Queen Mother's illness, but that doesn't mean I will obey the Queen's orders. Long before Nanny Kong came, I had already thought of a reason to refuse the Queen. If the Queen insists that I live in Fengyi Palace, then I will use the Prince's token."

She couldn't openly disobey Ye Xiaohan's order by using Ye Xiaohan's token, but she could still disobey some other things, such as not having to pay homage to others, not having to accept some orders she was unwilling to do, not having to be punished for some crimes that were not serious enough to warrant beheading, etc.

Fusang and Chunlan nodded and helped the princess get up and wash.

Last night, Fusang took Xia He to Huaqing Gate and found Suixi and the guards to explain the princess' situation.

The Huaqing Gate was guarded by palace guards wearing flying fish costumes. After hearing the clear message from Fusang, they could only take Suixi out of the palace. After all, the Queen Mother said that she would allow Princess Ye to send someone out of the palace to report the news.

Suixi and the guards left the palace and ran into the guards waiting at the palace gate. Suixi pulled the guards aside and told them everything about the palace.

Not long after, Ye Xiaohan received the news from Yun Mujiu, and then received a secret letter from the spy in the palace. Combining the statements of both parties, he was convinced that Yun Mujiu was really fine.

Everyone in the Night Palace breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the princess was fine. Although the princess had to stay in the palace, she didn't encounter any trouble overall.

This morning, Ye Xiaohan woke up early, long before Yun Mujiu woke up.

He received Mu Mu's message and waited patiently. Mu Mu expected the second big show to come this morning, and she could handle it well by herself.

Thinking of Yun Mujiu's cunning smile that always showed his cleverness, a gentle smile flashed across Ye Xiaohan's eyes.

Mu Mu is not a simple person. It would be difficult for the emperor and the queen to trick Mu Mu...

At this time, the ministers began to enter the palace for the morning court session. On their way to Xuanzheng Hall, they all passed through Huaqing Gate.

Some well-informed ministers knew last night that Yun Mujiu had entered the palace. Now, when they saw the carriage of Prince Ye's Mansion still parked near Huaqing Gate, they all looked strange.

Princess Ye went into the palace and did not return for one night. What happened?

The ministers who were not well-informed were curious and asked their colleagues around them. "What's going on? Why did the carriage of the Night King's Palace appear at the palace gate leading to the inner court?"

The people around him explained in a low voice the news they had heard. The officials who had looked puzzled just now nodded, with different expressions appearing on their faces.

Suixi and the eight guards rested beside the carriage last night, and another shift was changed after the palace gate was opened this morning. At this time, they had a proper rest, and they were in high spirits and stood straight.

The guards in flying fish uniforms complained in their hearts. They had persuaded the people in the Night Palace to go back first. But the people in the Night Palace refused to listen and insisted that they would wait for the Night Princess to return.

The people from the Night Prince's Palace attracted the attention of so many ministers this morning. I'm sure the Emperor and the Queen will be dissatisfied with the guards on duty!

At the morning court, the ministers talked about nothing more than some ordinary state affairs. In recent days, they paid special attention to the problem of drought in certain areas. The court has already taken measures, and now they only need to follow up on the follow-up work.

After the morning court session ended, the emperor thought of Yun Mujiu and frowned. It was not that he had not heard the ministers who came to the court discussing Yun Mujiu. Everyone noticed the big scene that the Night Palace deliberately created.

"Come here, Princess Xuan Ye wants to see you."
