The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the end, Yun Mujiu returned to the topic that Meng Ninglang had been pondering over at the beginning.

She said calmly: "As for the reason, I think there are two reasons why Princess Gaoyang delayed leaving the city."

Meng Ninglang asked anxiously: "Those two?"

Yun Mujiu replied: "First, she wants to stay and do something to try to redeem her reputation and claim back the privileged treatment she once had as a princess."

"Secondly, in addition to the above point, there is more. She also wants to use some means to cancel the punishments imposed on her by the emperor. As for how to achieve her goal, she should have figured out some schemes in the past few days."

"And these two reasons may exist at the same time..."

Princess Gaoyang is now imprisoned in the mansion, and has become the target of gossip and ridicule by people all over the capital, all because Princess Gaoyang has done many harmful things simply because she was jealous of Yun Mujiu.

Of course, Gao Yang herself is not such a kind person. Even if Yun Mujiu did not dare to confront her directly, she would still follow her heart and continue to annoy him.

Just looking at the fact that she allowed the servants in the princess's mansion to behave recklessly outside, such as letting Wang Gou persecute those beautiful and innocent young women, we can see how vicious her mind is.

Yun Mujiu can't read minds, but he has some experience in guessing people's minds.

She had worked in the hospital before, and she had dealt with countless patients, no matter how difficult the patients were. She had been a military doctor on the battlefield, and she had dealt with the most cunning enemies.

After Yun Mujiu finished speaking, he immediately told everyone that it was time to go back, as they had been in the Laurel Building for a long time.

She was also anxious to return to Prince Ye's Mansion to see if she would receive any news from Ye Xiaohan tonight.

However, Wei Bo shook his head slightly at her.

"Princess, there is no news from the prince yet."

"Yeah." Yun Mujiu felt a little disappointed, and then her mood turned to worry. Ye Xiaohan had just recovered not long ago, and now he was exhausted again, and there was a possibility that he would face people from the Eastern Empire, which made her a little worried.

Who could be the people coming from the Eastern Empire?

He is definitely not a simple person!

She had never been to the Eastern Empire, nor did she not know anyone from the Eastern Empire. But she also knew that, generally speaking, when personnel from another country quietly appeared in their own country without reporting, the other party would not send ordinary people.

On the Xingyue Continent, the Dongyang Empire is the country with the largest number of powerful warriors. In the previous Tianji Dynasty, Xingyue Continent was still a unified country, and all the martial artists in the world were the people of Tianji. The Tianji Dynasty was the most powerful and well-connected country.

However, things are different now. The previous dynasty had long since perished. The Eastern Empire turned around overnight and became the strongest country on the Xingyue Continent.

Yun Mujiu's eyebrows knitted up when she thought of Ye Xiaohan again. Looking at the four countries, Ye Xiaohan was the first person who dared to confront the Eastern Empire head-on. He was indeed a handsome man!

He is handsome, but the Eastern Empire is also eyeing the handsome Ye Xiaohan.

"Wei Bai, will the prince be alright?" Yun Mujiu's expression changed again and again, and Wei Bai's expression was somewhat affected. Wei Bai's expression changed with Yun Mujiu's changes.

"Princess, don't worry. How could anything happen to a man as strong as the prince?"

“Didn’t Yingyi write back saying that he had found three counties where that group of people had appeared? If Your Majesty goes to those three designated places to check for people, he may run into that group of people at any time.” The sadness on Yun Mujiu’s face remained.

Wei Bai was also unsure. He was not with the prince, so he could not know in time what exactly happened between the prince and Wei Song while he was still in the capital.

Wei Bai wanted to speak up to persuade Yun Mujiu to rest assured, but in the blink of an eye he saw Yun Mujiu's expression changed and he looked extremely calm.

"It's okay. We just need to stay in the Night Palace and don't panic."

"That's what the princess said."

"That's right." Yun Mujiu thought of something and added, "In addition to keeping our footing, we also have to trust the prince. Before the prince left, he told me that he would come back safely."

His tone softened, and he continued, “If we don’t trust the prince, I’m sure he’ll want to chop off our heads when he comes back.”

Yun Mujiu made a somewhat scary joke for the first time, and this sentence carried a hint of dark humor.

She and Wei Bai laughed together. Wei Bai shrank his neck and responded to Yun Mujiu's joke by saying, "After the prince and the princess got together, his temperament became much more restrained. I almost forgot that the prince is a well-known devil in Zhongyue. He kills people without blinking an eye. He can kill people with just a nod."

Tonight, before falling asleep, Yun Mujiu recalled some of the things that had happened recently, and also thought about the content of today's conversation with Ling Xingmu, Princess Ji Ling and others.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn’t feel sleepy. Instead, a nerve in my brain was inexplicably tense.

She missed Ye Xiaohan a little. In the past, when Ye Xiaohan was in the Ye Palace, even if they were sometimes busy with each other's affairs and could not see each other temporarily, she didn't think it was a big deal, because as long as she looked for him, she could always find Ye Xiaohan somewhere in the Ye Palace.

She could miss Ye Xiaohan, or not look for him, as long as he was always by her side. She knew that she could find him when she wanted to...

but…

Things are different now!

Ye Xiaohan was neither in the Ye Palace nor in the capital. Even if she suddenly wanted to see Ye Xiaohan now, she couldn't find him, let alone have a face-to-face chat.

Thinking of this, Yun Mujiu felt as if a corner was missing in his heart, empty. So this is the feeling of being in love. When you see each other all day, you don't think too much. But after you separate, you realize it later -

A corner of my heart has been taken away by my sweetheart.

Yun Mujiu sighed several times, and the candle in the bedroom did not go out for a long time.

Tonight, Fuso and Yingliu are on guard, Suixi has already gone downstairs and is fast asleep.

On a rooftop, Fusang sat cross-legged, looking at Yun Mujiu's bedroom with an inquiring gaze. The lights in all the rooms in the courtyard were off, except for the small opening in the window of the princess's room, where a few faint candlelights could be seen.

"The princess is not resting yet. She is sick." Fuso said suddenly.

"Why is the princess sick?" Ying Liu was surprised, and then his cold eyebrows showed a hint of worry.

"Lovesickness." Fusang rested her chin on her hand.

"What is lovesickness?" Yingliu was puzzled.

This time Fuso rolled his eyes at Yingliu, "Don't you understand this?"

"I don't understand. Please teach me." Yingliu replied uprightly, not looking embarrassed at all.

"Okay." Looking at Yingliu's dull guard aura, there was no other way for her to avoid the question.

"Listen, let me explain to you what lovesickness is. Lovesickness is..."

Fuso's voice was soft and calm, with occasional pauses in her tone.

A wisp of gentle breeze passed through a corner of the pear blossom wood carved window coffin and brushed towards the red candle that was about to burn out.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadows were vague, just like the ups and downs of Fusang's voice outside the house.

After a night of many dreams, Yun Mujiu struggled to get up the next morning.

Soon after she woke up, she received news that was a great surprise to her.

The letter sent back by Ye Xiaohan has arrived!
