The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the evening, as soon as Princess Ji Ling left, Prince Consort Cao had a fierce verbal conflict with Princess Gao Yang.

Now, Prince Consort Cao could no longer tolerate Gao Yang's unreasonable behavior, and dared to express his personal thoughts and opinions directly. Finally, under his strong request, Gao Yang said that he would not think about spending Ji Ling's salary in the future, nor would he think of asking Ji Ling to support her and the Princess's residence.

As a result, Prince Consort Cao ended his dispute with Gao Yang.

Prince Consort Cao sat at the desk with an open book in front of him, but he could not read a single word.

Suddenly thinking of the scene when he met Princess Ji Ling, he sighed softly.

Even though Princess Ji Ling once gave him a sense of familiarity, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible that Princess Ji Ling was related to his childhood savior.

Just in terms of age, Ji Ling's age doesn't match. Ji Ling is only nineteen, and Ji Ling was not even born when he was rescued!

Over the past two months, he and his family have noticed that something is wrong with Gao Yang, and he has sent some people to investigate what happened that year.

But the results were minimal, and the few clues that could be found pointed to Gao Yang as his savior.

However, the search not only did not reveal any new discoveries, but it also once again confirmed that Princess Gaoyang was Cao Hanmo's savior when he was a child.

In addition, Princess Gaoyang, thanks to her kind act of saving Cao Hanmo, not only earned a reputation as a kind princess in the capital, but also made the people praise her and Cao Hanmo's marriage as a match made in heaven. Later, she and Cao Hanmo also received praise from the current emperor and a large reward.

Seeing that he could not find any clues, Prince Consort Cao did not dare to investigate further. If the emperor found out that he was investigating Gao Yang, and Gao Yang himself was innocent, the emperor would probably vent his anger on him and the Cao family, and it would not be too much to charge him with disobeying the emperor's order and defying the imperial marriage. He could die, but he could not let the whole Cao family be punished innocently.

Prince Consort Cao recalled the gentle appearance of Princess Ji Ling and the angry look of Princess Gao Yang, and felt a little uneasy. He hoped that he was just overthinking, Gao Yang was his benefactor, but as time passed, people's personalities would eventually change.

At this time, Prince Consort Cao could only deceive himself and think that Gao Yang was his benefactor, but he had changed a lot...

The next morning, Princess Ji Ling stayed in her own princess residence and did not need to go out. Today, Princess Gao Yang did not send anyone to ask her to go to the Princess's residence, nor did she let her spend money to buy anything.

In fact, Princess Ji Ling only bought medicine for Princess Gao Yang a few times, and it was Princess Gao Yang who asked her to go to the Herb Hall to buy some designated medicines.

What Princess Gaoyang didn't know was that Ji Ling didn't spend much money, because Herb Hall sold medicine at a high price to people in Gaoyang, but not to Princess Ji Ling. Princess Ji Ling gave discounted medicine to Princess Gaoyang, who was very happy thinking that she had squeezed Princess Ji Ling into buying expensive medicine.

Ji Ling returned to the backyard and saw the carriage she usually used for traveling parked under a row of magnolia trees.

The light yellow-brown nanmu carriage was not being repaired, she just made up a reason to confront Gao Yang.

She didn't want to stay with Gao Yang anymore, nor did she want to obey Gao Yang unconditionally. Being late on purpose was just the first step to express her rebellious thoughts...

Princess Ji Ling tied up her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and started jogging in the yard for the first time. Not to mention her personal maid, even the servants in the entire princess mansion were stunned. Did they make a mistake?

What day is today? Princess Ji Ling, who has always been a little fragile, has actually started practicing martial arts!

Princess Ji Ling didn't care what others thought and had no intention of explaining.

She ran slowly, thinking back to what Mu Jiu had said to her...

At that dinner, Yun Mujiu gave Princess Ji Ling an all-purpose detoxifying pill that she could carry with her, and also suggested that Princess Ji Ling could ask a craftsman to make some hidden weapons that match her situation for better protection.

More importantly, Princess Ji Ling had to start learning martial arts! As a princess, even if there were people protecting her, she still had to be able to protect herself.

Not to mention the princesses of the royal family, even the noble ladies of the capital and the daughters of wealthy families rarely wanted to practice martial arts. The trend of this dynasty was that men should practice martial arts, and it was not so important for women to practice martial arts or not.

Yun Mujiu knew that Princess Ji Ling did not have the spiritual roots to practice martial arts, but he still reminded Princess Ji Ling to train her body first, and asked You Luoyan to start exercising as well.

The so-called spiritual roots are what those who want to reach a higher level of martial arts need. Even if you are just an ordinary person, you have the right to strengthen your body and you can also practice martial arts to improve your martial arts level.

...

In Qichiyuan, Yun Mujiu finished his daily martial arts practice and was standing in the middle of the yard doing stretching exercises.

At this moment, a long calling voice came from afar.

Wei Bo ran over with a letter in his hand. He ran so fast that his clothes flew up.

"Princess, the prince's reply has arrived!"

Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up, and a big smile immediately appeared on her pretty little face.

After a while, Yun Mujiu finished reading the letter and passed it to Wei Bai, Du Ziheng and several leaders of the personal guards.

In his last letter, Ye Xiaohan speculated that if people from the Eastern Empire came to Zhongyue quietly, they would have three purposes.

This time, Ye Xiaohan's reply detailed his recent search process, from the small town of Qingshui in the south of Huangchuan County to a remote mountain range in the north of Huangchuan County, where there was a huge cave. At this time, he had already arrived in Ningkun County. While checking the team, he also inspected the recent work of his officials. There must not be another chaotic situation like the small village in Chifeng City.

From Ye Xiaohan's letter, Yun Mujiu could already imagine how Ye Xiaohan had been traveling all the way, and how calm Ye Xiaohan's face was in various situations...

Ahem...how exciting...

After all, Ye Xiaohan's face was so handsome, so handsome that no man in the world could fight him. Even with a dark or cold face, he was still very good-looking.

Ahem… Yun Mujiu silently withdrew his thoughts about Ye Xiaohan and the little plans in his mind.

She had just strayed off topic; it was time to get back to the point.

It now seems that the mysterious group that appeared in Zhongyue was indeed the work of people from the Eastern Empire.

Only now have they discovered two people from the Eastern Empire. They cannot be sure how many people there are from the Eastern Empire, nor do they know to what extent the people from the Eastern Empire have come to Zhongyue for their certain purposes?

"At least we have a clearer clue." Yun Mujiu looked at his subordinates and said seriously, "In this way, the direction of the prince's next action will also be clear."

Everyone nodded slowly, and some ideas came to their mind.

Wei Bo spoke for everyone and asked a question: "Princess, in your opinion, is there any specific direction?"

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly and glanced at everyone with an indifferent look.

"Well, there are three main points..."
