The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

What made Yun Mujiu very curious at this moment was why Ye Xiaohan suddenly changed? What was the specific situation like?

Ye Xiaohan began to change when he was five years old, so did he also undergo great changes in some periods after that? For example, Ye Xiaohan once told him that he had been betrayed, so he hated unfaithful people.

"How has the prince changed..." Butler Zeng paused for a moment and replied, "Princess, when the prince was five years old, he lost his childish aura overnight and acquired the steady temperament of an adult."

Yun Mujiu's eyes darkened and he sighed helplessly in his heart. Ye Xiaohan rose quickly due to the pressure of the environment. At that time, Ye Xiaohan was just a child.

Butler Zeng continued, "Princess, after that fight, I still had a good friend who survived, but he died a few years later. This time I didn't quarrel with him, nor did I refuse to see him. But I still feel regretful that some of the promises I made to him have not been fulfilled. That's why I advised Wei Bo and the others to get along with each other in a friendly manner."

His tone was calm, and he suddenly asked, "Princess, do you know why my good friend, who is also another steward beside the prince, is not here?"

Yun Mujiu felt inexplicably startled in his heart and his eyebrows began to twitch slightly.

"I don't know." Then he asked again, "Butler Zeng, could you tell me why he's not here?"

Butler Zeng smiled and said, "Princess, of course I can tell you."

Butler Zeng's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked directly at Yun Mujiu: "That incident led to the death of my last good friend, and also caused the prince to almost be assassinated..."

Five years ago, the late emperor suddenly passed away. Ye Xiaohan took some people around him out of the palace and came to the Ye Palace. Under the secret alliance of Emperor Zhongyue and Beihan's spies, he, a little prince, almost died under the strangulation of many people. It was also in that battle that his confidants and several stewards all died for him, many of whom were good friends of Butler Zeng.

At the critical age of five, Ye Xiaohan's originally lively personality immediately changed.

In fact, Ye Xiaohan was born different from other children. He was indifferent and steady. Even when he was a little kid, he was often cold-eyed and cold-faced. Fortunately, he was still very young before the age of five, so he still had some of the innocence and purity of a child.

But a huge assassination attempt took away the last bit of his innocence, leaving only coldness and depth.

In the following time, he became more and more indifferent, and gradually became the cold prince in the eyes of the world.

Seven years later, when Ye Xiaohan was twelve years old, he had already established a group of basic forces by himself. Before he could achieve further success, turmoil broke out again around him.

A guard who had been with him for twelve years was actually a hidden chess piece that the current emperor had secretly planted for him when the late emperor was still alive.

This chess piece was extremely thoughtful, and it had been hidden for twelve whole years without any movement.

One day, the chess piece could no longer be hidden. He wanted to cut off Ye Xiaohan's wings before they were fully grown.

The pawn colluded with his master, the emperor, and caused a sneak attack. At the same time, other countries also intervened in this action, including the remnants of Beihan who were killed by Ye Xiaohan's faction seven years ago. These Beihan people are very resentful and want to launch revenge again.

The turning point that Butler Zeng mentioned about the Night King at the age of twelve occurred at this time.

At that time, Ye Xiaohan was still a relatively young boy, who relied on himself to support the Night Palace and the faction to which he, the Night King, belonged.

At the age of twelve, Ye Xiaohan was shocked, disappointed, and even more angry that there was a traitor among his people. At the same time, he was also moved by the guards who sacrificed their lives to save him. Among the dead was the young steward.

Of the four stewards left by the late emperor to Ye Xiaohan, only Steward Zeng was left behind in this battle.

When Yun Mujiu heard this, she felt a wave of pain in her heart, as if something was pricking her fragile heart. She was sensitive by nature and had a strong ability to empathize, and she felt sorry for many people. But this time, she felt especially sorry for Ye Xiaohan's past, which was stronger than all the pain she had ever felt.

When Ye Xiaohan was five years old, he almost died, and the people around him died to protect him. From then on, his personality changed fundamentally.

When Ye Xiaohan was twelve years old, he formed a group of forces with his own efforts and strength, but when the foundation was not stable, he was betrayed by the people around him. This was undoubtedly a blow, which crushed his sincere heart and changed the original sincere heart, causing him to be more vigilant towards others in the future.

Yun Mujiu put his hand on his heart, trying to relieve the severe pain, but to no avail.

A sudden conversation with Butler Zeng made people inadvertently realize something.

Firstly, Yun Mujiu realized more deeply why Ye Xiaohan was so wary when she first met him, as if no one could really get close to him? Even Yun Mujiu herself had to spend a long time and effort to let the cold-faced prince open his heart step by step.

Secondly, Yun Mujiu could now better understand why Ye Xiaohan's feelings towards Beihan, the enemy country, were far more subtle than those towards other countries. That was because the huge changes that took place in him during the two key periods of his growth, when he was five and twelve years old, were all related to the insidious little country of Beihan.

Butler Zeng talked about his past experiences for a long time. Through these events, he also explained why he advised Wei Bai and others to get along well with their brothers. He also indirectly explained why the Night King had evolved into his current personality.

Yun Mujiu paused, not knowing what to say for a moment, and not knowing what would be the most appropriate response she should make.

She was thinking about Ye Xiaohan's past, and she felt distressed because of the man who stayed by her side now. Ye Xiaohan was her other half, how could she not empathize with him?

"Okay, Butler Zeng, thank you for telling me this. If you hadn't told me today, I really wouldn't know so many details about the prince's past. I know some of the prince's general experiences, but I don't know the specific details." Yun Mujiu smiled faintly with a grateful expression on his face.

"Princess, you are too kind." Butler Zeng shook his head, his tone full of indifference. "I just said this to you casually, and I didn't mean to tell you deliberately. If these words are of some help to you, that would be great."

"If you want to know more about the prince's childhood in the future, I will tell you as much as I can if I know it and it is convenient for me to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Mujiu's pair of phoenix eyes lit up instantly!
