The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Facing Yun Mujiu's refusal, the Queen Mother smiled and agreed. When Mujiu mentioned the Night King just now, that moment reminded her of her relationship with the late emperor.

"I am very pleased to see that you young people are getting along well with each other."

"Come here, Princess Ye has done a great service in treating me, and I have a special reward for her!"

"Queen Mother, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to give me a reward." Yun Mujiu advised. She didn't treat the disease in order to ask for payment from the Queen Mother.

"Mu Jiu! What are you talking about!" The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide and looked angry.

"I give it to you, just keep it. I know that the Night Palace has everything it should have, but I also want to give you a token of my appreciation. This is the care of an elder for a younger generation."

Yun Mujiu smiled helplessly. The Queen Mother had already said so, and if she refused again, she would be disrespecting the Queen Mother.

Yun Mujiu thanked him and accepted it seriously.

Yun Mujiu closed the medicine box and was about to leave, but heard the palace maid come to report that the queen came to visit the queen mother and had already arrived at the gate of Renshou Palace.

Why is it the Queen again? Could it be that the Queen wants to come and look for her again?

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Mujiu, and Yun Mujiu said something appropriate: "The Queen Mother came to visit the Queen Mother, which shows that the Queen Mother is very filial to you, the Queen Mother."

In front of the Queen Mother, Yun Mujiu did not clearly show her rejection of the Queen's idea.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and decided that since the people were already at the door, it would not be appropriate to refuse the Queen entry.

"Please invite the Queen in."

...

At Prince Ye’s Mansion, Ye Xiaohan put down the official business in his hands, stood up and walked to the front hall.

Wei Bai brought two personal guards to report the news received from the palace.

Suixi and the others had received Xia He's reply not long ago. When Yun Mujiu returned to Renshou Palace, he sent Xia He to inform Suixi.

Wei Song reported the news received by the secret agent: the emperor was discussing matters with his ministers, and the people in the palace saw the princess leaving the Qianqing Palace and were wondering what had happened to her.

Ye Xiaohan nodded, "Now that the princess has probably finished her follow-up consultation with the queen mother, it's time for her to leave the palace."

Looking at Wei Bai, the latter quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have already arranged the carriage and team for the trip."

"Okay." Ye Xiaohan glanced at the neatly arranged guards in the courtyard and ordered, "Follow me."

In Renshou Palace, the empress was dressed in light yellow gorgeous clothes, with her hair tied up with golden hairpins, and she had the temperament of a mother of the country.

The queen was thinking about the queen mother all the time, and asked Yun Mujiu and Madam Kong about her health. At the same time, she did not forget to say a few flattering words to please the queen mother, and her words showed that she and the emperor had always cared about the queen mother.

"Mother, the Emperor is also concerned about your health, but he is busy with government affairs today, so he will have to wait before he can come to visit you."

"It's okay. The emperor should focus on state affairs. Everything is fine here." The empress dowager replied with a faint smile.

After a few greetings, the Queen Mother showed signs of sleepiness, and the Queen learned from her that Yun Mujiu would not stay for dinner.

The queen smiled slightly and said that she would give Yun Mujiu a reward. What the queen mother gave was what the queen mother gave, and as a daughter-in-law, she also had to give Yun Mujiu a reward.

Yun Mujiu couldn't refuse, because the queen only gave him some gold and silver treasures, not bracelets or other items that he would wear next to his body. Jewelry was most likely to be contaminated with poison.

Yun Mujiu bowed lightly, thanked the Queen, and expressed his gratitude to the Queen Mother again.

The Queen Mother was not in high spirits, so the Queen offered to leave and come to visit next time.

Yun Mujiu and the Queen left Renshou Palace together. The sedan bearers arranged by the Queen Mother were already waiting at the door.

"Mu Jiu, did you sleep well last night?" the queen asked gently.

"Your Highness, I slept very well. The bedroom that the Queen Mother arranged for me was very quiet, and I had a good sleep."

"That's good." The Queen looked at Yun Mujiu quietly, and said with regret: "It's a pity that you came in a hurry, either to see the Queen Mother or to respond to the Emperor's summons. I didn't have much chance to chat with you or have a meal with you."

"You are too kind, Queen." Yun Mujiu smiled and said jokingly, "I came to the palace in a hurry and didn't have any preparations. I had to hurry back to make medicine for the Queen Mother, so I couldn't stay in the palace for too long. I'll have a chance to catch up with you next time."

Everyone knows how to say polite words. She is the best at speaking and acting.

To an uninformed person, it would seem that the Queen and Princess Ye are chatting and laughing, and one would think that the two of them have a close and harmonious relationship.

"Okay, then I'll have to wait until you're free next time." The queen smiled appropriately, with a hint of sophistication in her eyes.

Yun Mujiu readily agreed, and the Queen asked, "How is your health? Is the tonic I gave you last time effective?"

Yun Mujiu recalled the medicines that the Queen had given her at the banquet. She and Du Ziheng had checked those medicines. There was nothing wrong with the medicines, but most of them were gynecological herbs that were specially used to nourish women's bodies and prepare for pregnancy.

Everyone in the outside world knows that Ye Xiaohan was seriously injured and might have no hope of having children, but the Queen still cares about the issue of her and Ye Xiaohan's children. What is the Queen thinking?

Yun Mujiu's heart sank, but he replied calmly, "I'm fine. The tonic the queen gave me is of course excellent, and the doctor said that my weak body has gradually improved a lot.

"It's just that I'm weak, so it's naturally a long way off to get pregnant..."

When it comes to the topic of whether or not she has children, Yun Mujiu only mentioned her own physical defects, and did not mention whether or not Ye Xiaohan had any problems. She did not want outsiders to know about Ye Xiaohan's situation.

Chunlan and the other five maids sighed silently: The princess is really smart. She not only protects the prince's image outside, but also prevents others from spying on Prince Ye's Mansion.

Yun Mujiu nodded slightly, "The Queen is very kind and generous. I haven't used up all the tonics she gave me yet."

The queen laughed when she heard this: "That's good. If you like it, I'll give you some next time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Mujiu responded calmly.

She just said in advance that there was more medicine, but she didn't want to give the queen another chance to give her medicine now. If the queen gave her medicine again in the future, she could accept it, but she would not use the medicine given by the queen.

"Do you know what 'ice grass poison' is?" the queen suddenly asked.

The next moment, Yun Mujiu looked confused: "What kind of poison?"

The queen slowed down her speech: "Icegrass poison."

"I'm hearing this for the first time." Yun Mujiu was puzzled: "What kind of Chinese medicine is ice grass? Forgive my limited medical skills, I have never heard of this kind of Chinese medicine."

The Queen saw that Yun Mujiu's confusion was not fake, and when she suddenly asked Yun Mujiu just now, Yun Mujiu's puzzled reaction was very quick. It seemed that Yun Mujiu really didn't know about the poison of Beihan's ice grass.

How could Yun Mujiu design a plan to poison the prince with ice grass as Doctor Wu and his daughter said!

The Queen smiled and said, "Icegrass is just a rare Chinese herbal medicine. I just heard of it by chance and asked you casually."

Yun Mujiu nodded, looking as if he had suddenly realized something. The Queen would not know that she was the one who poisoned the woman. She was using her own methods to retaliate against the Queen. Doctor Wu and his daughter had committed the evil, so they had to endure her counterattack! And the Crown Prince also deserved it!
