The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly stopped holding the gun, causing the long flower spear, which had been shaking violently just now, to tremble violently, and the gun tip made a buzzing sound.

Seeing that the princess had stopped, Fusang hurried forward and considerately wiped the sweat from Yun Mujiu's forehead.

"Mu Jiu, what happened?" a woman in red clothes and high ponytail asked.

"Yan Shuang, let's take a break first. I want to hear what the guys have to say about Wan Yan's bones."

"Okay." Bai Yanshuang neatly retracted the spear that was attacking Yun Mujiu. The spear turned over and the tip of the spear easily pierced into the hard ground of the martial arts training ground.

About half an hour ago, after Yun Mujiu had thought about how to deal with the failure of the doctor's system, she waited for Bai Yanshuang, whom she had invited to the other courtyard. She had agreed with Bai Yanshuang early on that she would learn from him some of the commonly used weapons in the military camp, such as the long flower spear.

Yun Mujiu had a feeling that maybe one day she would need this essential firearm on the battlefield. So she had to practice well in advance...

Yun Mujiu should have gone to General Bai's mansion in person, but she did not choose to go to Bai's mansion to find Bai Yanshuang, but invited Yanshuang to her villa. She was not trying to keep a low profile, but just didn't want to cause the emperor's people to target innocent General Bai and Yanshuang because of her visit to Bai's mansion. It happened that Meng Ninglang was told by Duke Meng to keep in touch with General Bai's mansion. When Bai Yanshuang came, Meng Ninglang also followed to the villa.

As there was a report from Yueguilou, Yun Mujiu and Bai Yanshuang immediately stopped practicing, put the long flower spears back on the weapon rack on the training ground, and then went to a meeting room next to the training ground.

A servant who looked like a messenger stood in the middle of the hall and quickly told the story of Wanyan Gu's visit to Yuegui Tower.

Wanyan Gu first went to the Herb Hall and acted a little low-key. Before going to the Herb Hall this time, he had been to the Herb Hall once before, and at that time, Manager Wang led people to receive him.

This time, Shopkeeper Wang noticed that Wanyan Gu was fine, but he came to buy some herbs in person. This kind of work could have been done by his subordinates, and there was no need for him to go there in person. Shopkeeper Wang called a messenger from the Herb Hall to follow behind Wanyan Gu and his group.

Before Wanyan Gu was about to step into Yuegui Tower, the owner and the waiters of Yuegui Tower had received the news from the people of Caoyuan Hall in advance and had already prepared a seat in a private room for Wanyan Gu.

As soon as Wanyan Gu entered the private room, the person in the private room next door could eavesdrop on the conversation of Wanyan Gu and others through the mechanism between the adjacent walls of the two rooms. Yun Mujiu had also used this technique of silently listening to others before, when she listened to Wanyan Gu discussing something with the prince and his men.

Not to mention Wanyan Gu, the prince and others, what even the rest of the world doesn’t know is that Yueguilou and even all the shops opened under Yun Mujiu’s name are not ordinary shops at all!

Take the Laurel Tower for example. On the surface it is just a herbal medicine restaurant, but in fact it can also be used as a place to obtain intelligence, equivalent to a miniature intelligence organization.

Of course, not everyone in the store was monitored, but only some special people were paid attention to. For example, which important people came here, and who came with them? Just from their appearance together, it can be known that they have some connection.

In addition, the lobby of Yueguilou is an open dining area, where most diners eat and chat about all kinds of topics, rumors, hot news, etc. The waiters and waiters of Yueguilou can extract a lot of information from the conversations of everyone without any effort.

Nowadays, Yun Mujiu has given the shop she opened a deeper meaning!

Yun Mujiu looked at the servant and said softly, "Go on."

The servant then told the content of the conversation between Wanyan Gu and his subordinates when he arrived at Yuegui Tower, which involved wanting to inquire about the news of Yewang Palace for the Emperor of Nantai, as well as new news from Nantai. However, the servant was unable to hear what the specific news was, because Wanyan Gu had to leave Yuegui Tower and return to the Envoy's Villa to see the messenger.

"Prince Wan..." Meng Ninglang murmured, still pondering.

In fact, Wanyan Gu ranked second among the princes of the Nantai royal family, and should have been directly called the second prince by the Zhongyue people. However, he and Bei Liyi were both royal family members from other countries who came to visit Zhongyue for the first time in more than 20 years, so for the sake of convenience, the Zhongyue people often called them by their surnames, that is, "Prince Wan" and "Princess Bei". If new royal family members from Beihan and Nantai arrived, they might change their names to avoid confusion. Wanyan Gu could be called "Prince Gu" and Bei Liyi "Princess Liyi".

Meng Ninglang thought for a moment and said, "I have been dealing with official business recently and I have heard my colleagues talking about the situation of the Nantai and Beihan envoys. Prince Wan has been in good health recently. Moreover, there is an imperial physician in the other courtyard and he has his own doctor. Why does he have to go to the herbal medicine hall to buy medicine?"

"I want to find out some information." Bai Yanshuang said bluntly.

Yun Mujiu nodded and added, "One more thing, he didn't come here purely to buy things, he probably wanted to meet me. Although the prince doesn't have the military power in his hands for the time being, he still has the foundation of the regent. Wanyan Gu is an unpopular prince in Nantai, so it is not impossible for him to get closer to the prince."

Wanyan Gu was a somewhat reckless person. When he first left the diplomatic corps and came to the capital, he saw Yun Mujiu and the guards of the Ye Palace fighting against the rioting Tian Wensheng.

Out of so-called fun, Wanyan Gu secretly threw poison darts behind Yun Mujiu and his group, and even seemed to be gloating at one point.

However, his happiness did not last long before he got his comeuppance.

Ye Xiaohan found out Wanyan Gu's identity and his hiding place. A group of Hanying Guards were dispatched. That night, they beat Wanyan Gu, the prince of a country, so hard that he was half dead. In the end, they poisoned Wanyan Gu and Tudan, because they were the ones who had intended to murder the people in Yewang Mansion first.

If it weren't for the doctors from the large Nantai envoy group that later arrived in the capital, and the imperial physicians in the Zhongyue Palace, Wanyan Gu would have died of the poison long ago.

After this lesson, Wanyan Gu's attitude towards Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu completely changed...

He became extremely honest, and even had a faint desire to curry favor with them. However, Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu did not take him seriously.

As expected, sometimes people are a bit mean. If they don’t get a good beating, their empty brains won’t learn a lesson…
