The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ling Xingmu made up his mind and no longer gave any specific reasons. He could only change his words and guarantee: "Princess Ye, please tell King Ye for me that I will not cause any trouble here and will not affect the relationship between the Northern Territory and the court. As everyone knows, I am just the least favored son in the Ling family. My existence should not cause any disturbance."

"Mr. Ling, we are not afraid that you will cause trouble." Yun Mujiu looked at Ling Xingmu quietly and said slowly, "It's just that if you stay here for too long, it will not be good for your own safety."

He sighed softly, and then said patiently: "Even if you are not favored anymore, you are still a member of the Ling family. Many people are watching you openly or secretly. With you, they can also ask for benefits, and more importantly - they can provoke conflicts between Beijie and Zhongyue."

Ultimately, the safety of the region and the country is of utmost importance.

In addition to people in Zhongyue who are keeping an eye on Ling Xingmu, there are also spies in Beihan, Xiyi and Nantai who are keeping an eye on Ling Xingmu, trying to cause trouble between Beijie and Zhongyue and disrupt the domestic situation.

As the regent of Zhongyue, Ye Xiaohan always considers the national level in everything.

So when he left the capital, he asked Yun Mujiu, who stayed in the city, to handle some matters, including the repatriation of Ling Xingmu.

When Ling Xingmu heard Yun Mujiu's persuasion, he was not a stupid person and naturally knew the pros and cons.

He just really couldn't leave the capital for the time being. After this farewell, who knows when he can come again?

He still had a very important matter that he hadn't resolved, but he couldn't mention it to anyone, not even Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu...

Silence, the room was completely quiet, except for the faint noise coming from the crowd in the lobby of Herb Hall.

Xiao Zhao stood behind Ling Xingmu, quietly observing the expressions of the crowd, and couldn't help but feel nervous for his own son. He knew that his son sneaked out of the Northern Territory this time not just to travel and broaden his horizons.

The young master has an unknown ultimate purpose for going out.

Yun Mujiu did not continue to ask Ling Xingmu, giving Ling Xingmu enough time to think.

Not long after, Ling Xingmu said quickly: "Princess Ye, I heard that King Di has returned to the capital. I got to know King Di a little bit when I was in the Northern Territory. I think if I stay in the capital, maybe I can be of some use?"

Before Yun Mujiu could speak, Wei Bai took over and said, "Master Ling, the return of Prince Di has nothing to do with your staying. The Ye Palace and Prince Di have a friendship, so there is no need to trouble you again."

When it comes to dealing with King Di, Ye Xiaohan doesn't need Ling Xingmu's help at all. Ye Xiaohan has a powerful information network, and because of his high position, he has dealt with many Zhongyue and royal members of various countries, and he knows people from different factions.

“What’s more, the situation between Zhongyue and other countries has been unstable recently. If Master Ling does not stay in the Northern Territory, it may cause some unrest to the safety of Master Ling and the Northern Territory.” After Wei Bai finished speaking, he finally picked up the teacup that had been placed in front of him for a long time and took a sip of tea leisurely.

Wei Bai's euphemistic answer was a disguised rejection of Ling Xingmu's proposal. The Night Palace did not need Ling Xingmu to stay in the capital to help fight against King Di. Putting aside the national security in the big picture, Ling Xingmu also had to pay attention to his own family and consider the situation of himself and his family.

"Master Wei, I understand." Ling Xingmu took a sip of tea, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his mind worked quickly.

There was a hint of anxiety in Xiao Zhao's eyes. He wanted to help Ling Xingmu speak, but he didn't know where to start. He was even dumber than the young master in speaking. It would be terrible if he made things worse for the young master.

Ling Xingmu had no intention of asking Xiao Zhao to help. After a brief thought, he once again made an earnest request.

"Princess, although the Ye Palace may not need my help, I still want to rest more and travel in the capital for a while, okay?" Ling Xingmu opened his eyes wide, revealing a gleam in his eyes, with an expectant look.

Then, he added earnestly, "And King Di won't stay in the capital for long. He will return to the Northern Territory sooner or later. Wouldn't it be convenient for me to go back to the Northern Territory with him then? King Di's army will guarantee my safety on the way back to the Northern Territory. When I return to the Northern Territory, I will explain my rash departure to my father and clansmen and ensure that I will not cause any trouble to anyone."

Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai looked at each other and realized something was wrong. Ling Xingmu kept making excuses, and there must be some hidden reasons. Given Ling Xingmu's good performance, they could also sense that Ling Xingmu had an upright character.

Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai lowered their eyes slightly, as if thinking about Ling Xingmu's words.

"Mr. Ling, I know you have your own plans and are eager to stay. But I believe you also understand the analysis that Wei Bo and I just mentioned."

"Princess, I understand. Please rest assured, I know what's going on." Ling Xingmu was relieved to see that Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai had no ill will towards him, and he guaranteed, "If my presence in the capital could bring danger and hidden dangers to myself, everyone, the Northern Territory, and even Zhongyue, I would leave the capital in advance!"

Yun Mujiu raised his eyes and looked at Ling Xingmu, his clear and watery eyes just stared at Ling Xingmu.

Facing Yun Mujiu's innocent eyes, Ling Xingmu couldn't continue to look directly at her. Yun Mujiu's eyes were too pure, and people dared not look directly at them, for fear of profaning those lively phoenix eyes.

Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai exchanged glances, then looked at Ling Xingmu again.

"Mr. Ling..."

"Please just call me by my name." Ling Xingmu said quickly. He was too nervous just now and didn't notice that Yun Mujiu had always respectfully addressed him as Young Master.

"Ling Xingmu, if you insist on staying in the capital for a while, it's not impossible. But you have to pay attention to the warnings Wei Bai and I gave you just now. Also, you can't stay too long." Yun Mujiu said calmly.

"I understand this." Ling Xingmu replied with a kind smile on his face.

Yun Mujiu had already reminded Ling Xingmu, and she and Ye Xiaohan would not interfere too much in what Ling Xingmu should do now. First, they had done their best to remind him kindly.

Second, Ling Xingmu is from the Northern Realm, and his identity is somewhat special. Even if they forcefully persuade Ling Xingmu to return to the Northern Realm, it may not be completely successful. Because Ling Xingmu will also find other reasons and stubbornly stay here for a while, which is not impossible.

Third, they were fearless and had already made plans. If Ling Xingmu really caused trouble, they would send him away in advance to ensure that the relationship between Beijie and Zhongyue would always remain peaceful and stable.

After Yun Mujiu finished her instructions, she turned around and asked Fu Qian to take the prescription she had written to get the medicine for Ling Xingmu.

Turning back, he smiled at Ling Xingmu and said nonchalantly: "Wait until you finish your business, then we can talk about leaving the capital."

"Princess!" Ling Xingmu's pupils suddenly dilated, and his lips trembled slightly. My God, you have a very smart heart!

Yun Mujiu actually guessed that he stayed for another purpose, not just for fun!
