The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu thought of the Sixth Prince of Nantai. The more he thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.

Ye Xiaohan found out about the mysterious visitors from other countries and replied that those people might be from the Eastern Empire.

So is it possible that the group of people might be from Nantai, or that there were Nantai people involved, and that Wanyan Sen also had some sinister intentions?

Yun Mujiu's heart instantly lifted up, Ye Xiaohan, you must come back safely...

Although Ying Liu was unable to eavesdrop on all the information due to the restrictions of Wanyan Gu's secret guards, he still heard some key points. Yun Mujiu also confirmed his guess through Ying Liu's report. Sure enough, Wanyan Gu received news from the Nantai royal family and was particularly concerned about all of Wanyan Sen's actions.

Afterwards, she asked Ying Liu to send a few secret guards to pay close attention to Wanyan Gu's actions in the next few days. Wanyan Gu seemed to be silent and honest, but it was unknown what he was like in private.

Dogs that bite usually don't bark.

...

On a central street in the capital, a young girl in pink and her two personal maids were walking quickly, as if they were in a hurry to do something.

Passing by the Herb Hall, she walked in and asked the old shopkeeper behind the counter, "Is Mu Jiu here?"

Shopkeeper Wang bowed lightly and shook his head, "Princess Ji Ling, the princess is in the other courtyard. But she said that if you have anything, you can go to the other courtyard to find her, or send someone to pass a message to her."

Princess Ji Ling waved her hand and said calmly, "Shopkeeper Wang, I have nothing to do. I just passed by the Herb Hall to see if I have met Mu Jiuou. If she comes, just say I have been here. I am going to the Princess's residence now."

Princess Ji Ling was called to Princess Gao Yang's mansion for several days in a row. Sometimes, she was asked to help with banquet arrangements, but more often, Princess Gao Yang just chatted with Princess Ji Ling, trying to restore the sisterly relationship and get some information about Yun Mujiu from Princess Ji Ling.

In addition, after chatting, Princess Gaoyang, as before, occasionally asked Princess Ji Ling to do some odd things, such as pouring a cup of tea for her sister, or going to a restaurant in the capital to buy some snacks, or going to the rouge shop to buy some rouge and powder.

Because the Princess's residence was not making ends meet, Princess Gaoyang would not give Ji Ling money when she asked her to buy something. Princess Ji Ling did not argue with her and quietly paid for Princess Gaoyang. Although she was not as prosperous as Gaoyang in the past, she was not so poor that she could not afford to buy things.

Princess Ji Ling asked Shopkeeper Wang to tell Yun Mujiu that she had been to the Herb Hall. Then she walked through the slightly crowded lobby of the Herb Hall and walked quickly to the street outside.

In the crowded crowd, the distance between people has to become smaller.

The door of Herb Hall is indeed spacious, but it cannot withstand the flood of customers coming in and out.

The people inside were carrying medicine and wanted to go out, while a small group of people crowding at the door outside also wanted to squeeze in.

As soon as Princess Ji Ling crossed the threshold, she passed by a young man who was squeezed in. She walked out and he walked in.

Princess Ji Ling walked outside and suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the hall of Herb Hall with an inquiring look. There was a crowd of people, and the noise in the hall and on the street was endless.

She just felt like she couldn't hear any sound and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Just now, that person?

Princess Ji Ling stood there in a daze. The people around her were running in their own directions, but she seemed to be standing still.

The female waiter at the Herb Hall saw that Princess Ji Ling seemed to be squeezed by people, and wanted to help her, but they couldn't squeeze through the hurried guests. Seeing that the princess stopped, they quickly pushed through the crowd, walked to Princess Ji Ling, and surrounded her.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" One of Princess Ji Ling's maids called out with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Princess Ji Ling came back to her senses, glanced at the maid beside her, and waved to the two female servants: "I'm fine, you can go back, you don't have to see me off."

"Yes, Princess." The two female waiters bent down, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

Princess Ji Ling seized the opportunity, stood in an empty corner outside the door, and looked inside again.

A young man in a gray-blue gown was standing in the middle of the lobby talking to Shopkeeper Wang.

The young man showed his side profile, with half of his lips slightly raised, as if he was smiling.

Shopkeeper Wang had a kind smile on his face and seemed to be introducing something to the man.

Princess Ji Ling came back to her senses and said to herself, "So it was him."

His pounding heart gradually calmed down, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

The maid next to her was a little confused and asked, "Princess, is there anything I can do for you? Or should I ask that young man to come over?" She knew that the princess had been looking for a young man.

"No need." Princess Ji Ling glanced quickly and lowered her head and said, "That is Mr. Jiang, not that person."

She just felt that Mr. Jiang looked like an old friend she had met before, so she was distracted and lost her mind. Looking carefully, Mr. Jiang's appearance was not very similar to the young man in her mind, but because they were of similar age, they both had a bit of the youth's cheerful aura.

The maid nodded. She also knew that the princess and Princess Ye had gone to see Mr. Jiang. At that time, the princess realized that Mr. Jiang was not the person she was looking for.

The two maids sighed silently. They didn't recognize Mr. Jiang, but the princess recognized him instantly. After realizing that it was Mr. Jiang and not that person, the princess seemed to become a little subtle.

Princess Ji Ling calmed herself down, called two maids, and hurried on her way again.

As the crowd came and went, the pink silk ribbon tied around her waist flew up as she walked quickly.

The fluttering ribbon was like willow catkins, gently touching a passerby who almost met their face.

Princess Ji Ling was busy going to the Princess's residence and had no time to pay attention to the people on the street, so she didn't even notice who was around her.

As she walked away, a man in a sky-blue robe stopped behind her. The man's large palm moved, and an extremely light touch came from the back of his hand, which was icy cold.

Looking down, he saw a pink ribbon shining with white light sliding across his hand.

The man's eyes moved slightly, and his heart also swayed...
