The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When Yun Mujiu's eyes brightened instantly, what she thought was - she seemed to not know many things about Ye Xiaohan well enough, and once she had the old man, Butler Zeng, around, she would be able to better explore Ye Xiaohan's character step by step.

A happy smile appeared on his face and he nodded several times.

Why does the process of getting to know Xiao Han thoroughly feel like searching for a magical treasure, making people feel anticipation, excitement and nervousness?

While Yun Mujiu was thinking crazily, Butler Zeng asked again: "Also, Princess, do you know why the prince didn't tell you those things?"

Yun Mujiu held his chin with the back of his hand and thought: "Maybe it's because of his personality. In the past, he always liked to act, but not to talk. He always refused to talk about some of the things he had done. If he didn't say it, how could others know?

"I have also mentioned this to him: if he does something for me, he can tell me so that I can know his feelings and thoughts. Instead of saying nothing when we quarrel or misunderstand each other, which will lead to or even aggravate misunderstandings between us."

Butler Zeng smiled heartily and agreed very much. He knew that the princess was an insightful person who could always see the truth.

"Princess, you're right. The prince really doesn't like to talk too much to others. Even if you're the closest person to him, he still won't say what's on his mind. He'd rather grit his teeth and endure everything, and he definitely doesn't mean to complain to anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Zeng gave another ambiguous look. Yun Mujiu nodded. Okay, she understood what Butler Zeng meant, which was to seize Ye Xiaohan's weakness in order to find a better way to get along with him.

She and Ye Xiaohan have similarities, but also differences.

Ye Xiaohan's characteristic of "doing more than talking" can be an advantage or a disadvantage. The key lies in whether this characteristic is used in appropriate occasions.

If Ye Xiaohan had prepared a surprise for her, but hadn't told her about it yet, then that characteristic would be beneficial. With the action and the information under control, no one could find fault with it.

Yun Mujiu stopped the thoughts that kept spreading in his mind, turned around and replied to Butler Zeng seriously: "Okay, Butler Zeng, I understand what you mean."

I will slowly "control" the prince...

“Okay, okay…” Butler Zeng smiled cheerfully, his eyes filled with the care of an elder for the younger generation.

The day passed very quickly. After Yun Mujiu finished chatting with Butler Zeng, he went to the martial arts training ground to see soldiers in need. It was dark before he had been seeing them for long.

Yun Mujiu returned to Qichiyuan, and the three carpenters who were building the greenhouse had not rested yet. They insisted on speeding up the process as soon as possible. The prince wanted the princess to have a good environment to grow herbs, so the old carpenters in the mansion had to work harder.

It was not until Yun Mujiu pretended to be angry and strongly requested the guards to drag the carpenters out of the yard that the three old carpenters agreed to stop and rest.

Yun Mujiu also took a look at the greenhouse. The foundation had been laid and the basic frame of the greenhouse had been constructed. It would not be long before a greenhouse was built.

As the evening breeze blew, a string of bells jingled on the swing stand in the middle of the lawn in Qichiyuan.

Accompanied by the sound of silver bells that occasionally came at night, Yun Mujiu slowly fell asleep. The person in the dream was Ye Xiaohan in his childhood and adolescence...

...

In a deep mountain forest in the northeast of Yanggu County, a group of horseback riders are staying here.

They have received the latest news that the first batch of support personnel sent by the emperor has arrived at their first destination, the Qingshui town in Huangchuan. However, just like the useless Zhao Guang, the emperor's team did not find any useful information in the entire town or even the small inn.

On the tall horse, a man dismounted and gestured to rest in place.

A man in black dismounted and approached the man.

"This subordinate has met the prince."

"Have you received the news from Huangchuan County?" Ye Xiaohan's voice was cold, and it seemed to bring a strong chill to people in this midsummer season.

"Your Highness, the secret guards have just received the latest news."

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Speak."

"Your Majesty, Zhao Guang led a group of imperial guards and dragon staff guards to leave Qingshui Town and hurried to the deep mountains in the north of Huangchuan County. At this time, they discovered the existence of the three caves and also knew some clues and information left at the scene."

Ye Xiaohan's face was cold, as if he had expected it. He had deliberately let the emperor's people intervene, just to kill with a borrowed knife, and use the official image of the Zhongyue court to control unknown visitors from other countries.

This time when he went out, he did not show up in front of people as the regent. Even if he wanted to kill those people from Nantai and Dongyang Empire on the spot, he did not reveal his identity as a prince, and always appeared as the ninth level of the netherworld.

Ye Xiaohan continued to ask——"What is the specific situation of the first batch of imperial guards?"

"Your Highness, as you planned, they suffered in the cave, with some dead and some injured."

Ye Xiaohan pursed his lips slightly. It seemed that the emperor's people were a little smart, but not enough.

A few guards who were resting nearby wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and there was a hint of extremely restrained smile in their eyes.

When leaving the first cave, Ye Xiaohan sinisterly told his subordinates not to destroy or dismantle the mechanisms buried in the cave.

Aren’t the emperor and his entourage going to investigate the unknown team?

Then let them investigate.

But you have to pay a price!

The Emperor's men are following behind the people of the Underworld Palace to reap the benefits. How can such a good job come from? How can they do it without paying a price?

And the price they paid was that they almost lost their lives, and most of them even died directly at the hands of the Nantai people!

Ye Xiaohan's subordinates all had visible smiles on their faces, and one could tell at a glance that they were very happy.

The imperial guards and the Dragon Staff Guards were always plotting against the personal guards of the Night King's Palace and the Night King's Golden Guards. These people's cruel methods were no simpler than theirs, and they might even be even more severe. Now these people of the Emperor were really getting their retribution, and that so-called retribution was something they had to work hard to bring about.

Following the prince's suggestion, they opened the mechanism in the cave, ready to punish those people severely!
