The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When he heard that King Ye and his wife were both recuperating in the mansion, the Seventh Prince's handsome brows frowned slightly.

That day, Yun Mujiu looked full of energy and didn't look like someone who would fall ill anytime soon.

Jiang Fei was also surprised and turned to ask the guard who reported the news. "Are you sure that King Ye and his wife are sick?"

"Mr. Jiang, this is what the people in the Night Palace announced to the public."

The guard recalled and said, "The housekeeper of the Ye Palace said that the Ye Prince had an old injury and was not in good health recently. He needed to rest and recuperate. The Ye Princess was already weak. She spent a lot of energy in the Herb Hall that day to punish the group of people who made trouble. Not long after returning to the palace, she fell ill."

"Yes." Ye Chufeng waved his hand and replied to the guard: "I understand."

"Seventh Prince, do you believe this?" Jiang Fei asked thoughtfully.

"What if you believe it or not?" Ye Chufeng said calmly, "Since this is what the people in the Ye Palace said, then we just believe it."

When outsiders hear the announcement from the Night Palace, even though they may be a little surprised and confused, they will believe it without a doubt when they think about the physical condition of the Night Prince and the Night Princess over the past few months.

Ye Chufeng glanced at Cang Feng and added: "I remember that Yun Mujiu had a chronic illness, didn't he?"

"Yes. I went with you to the Night Prince's Mansion to announce the decree. When we were about to leave the Night Prince's Mansion, the Night Prince's Concubine suddenly fell ill, and even the Night Prince was startled."

"Yeah." Ye Chufeng fell into reminiscence and added, "She also felt unwell at the envoy's palace banquet."

Ye Chufeng did not continue to speak, Jiang Fei sighed quietly: "Since ancient times, beautiful women have always been short-lived."

"Shut up!" Ye Chufeng suddenly yelled, his peach blossom eyes glaring at Jiang Fei, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Jiang Fei was so frightened that his breath was choked, and he was stunned. He also realized that his words were a little inappropriate. He originally wanted to say that Princess Ye was a good person but her situation was not good, but he didn't expect to say the wrong thing.

Cang Feng was a martial artist, and he knew that what Jiang Fei said was not nice, so he hit Jiang Fei several times with his elbow.

Jiang Fei lowered his head, lowering his waist as low as possible, and said earnestly: "Please forgive me, Seventh Prince. I was wrong."

“Don’t say such unlucky and unlucky words again.” Ye Chufeng clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: “Whether it is Yun Mujiu or Uncle Ye, they will live well and nothing will happen to them.”

"Even if Yun Mujiu's illness really relapsed, we should still think positively and not say anything that would bring bad luck and discouragement."

Jiang Fei and Cang Feng bowed their heads, both indicating that they understood. The guard who reported the matter also nodded and responded solemnly.

Ye Chufeng stood up and swept the hot tea on the table which had already gone cold.

Since he closed the window, he could hardly hear the voices on the street, and his ears were much quieter. He had heard enough gossip and laughed enough at the foolish behavior of the prince, and now it was time to leave.

"Jiang Fei, you continue to pay attention to the news outside the palace. Also, keep an eye on the Herb Hall recently to prevent another group of people from wanting to cause trouble there."

He turned his head and looked at the guard. After thinking for a while, he immediately issued an order: "Pass on my order and send a few secret guards to contact the Night Palace."

"In addition to expressing our concern for the Night King and his wife, we also asked if they needed any help from us!"

Ye Chufeng's tone was full of seriousness and solemnity, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to carry a hint of urgency.

After receiving the order, the guards quickly retreated.

Ye Chufeng flicked his sleeves and strode towards the door of the private room.

"Cang Feng, return to the palace!"

In the imperial study of the palace, the emperor was not handling official business. Instead, he had a cold face and looked indifferently at several confidants kneeling below.

The emperor has been very angry these past two days. How can he be happy when his plans have failed one after another?

Sending that idiot Xu Houshan to Herb Hall to do the job not only resulted in the failure of the plan, but also made Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan's reputation even worse!

Letting the fool princess Bei Liyi come and go freely, she turned out to be a loser. Seeing Xu Houshan defeated by Yun Mujiu, she didn't even dare to go forward to see Yun Mujiu, but went back to the envoy's villa in disgrace!

That’s right, the emperor followed his earlier plan and went to cause trouble for Yun Mujiu in two ways.

On the one hand, Xu Houshan is a potential enemy of Yun Mujiu and the Night Prince's Mansion. The emperor sent Xu Houshan to cause trouble, and he also wanted to stir up conflicts among other people against the Night Prince and his wife.

It turns out that the status of the Night King and his wife seems to be very special in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult for others to easily shake the good image of the Night King and his wife in the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, Bei Liyi was a substantial enemy that Yun Mujiu had long established. He had never expected that after Bei Liyi was released, she did not dare to act arrogantly like before and openly confronted Yun Mujiu.

Whether they are potential enemies of the Night King's Mansion or actual enemies, it seems that these enemies have no impact on the Night King and Yun Mujiu!

The emperor, as the supreme ruler, could not remain completely calm. He saw that those he disliked always escaped danger and he wished he could chop them into pieces.

The hall was in complete silence, and several trusted ministers and dragon staff guards dared not speak. They knew that the emperor was angry, and very angry...

But they really had no other choice. They thought of ways and tried, but still failed. Who told that Princess Ye was as cunning as Prince Ye? She was not someone who could be easily fooled or bullied!

They wanted to bully the Night King and his wife, but if they failed, it would be fine. It would be great if they didn't get killed by the Night King and his wife! Their colleague Xu Houshan went there, but what was his fate?

Imprisoned, dismissed from office, and confiscated...

The emperor paced back and forth, looking at the group of people below admitting their mistakes, the anger rising in his heart did not subside at all.

A minister thought about it and suggested cautiously: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the incident of Lord Xu from getting worse, why don't we just get rid of Lord Xu?" The rumors outside are very unfriendly to the good image they have worked so hard to establish.

"Hmph! What Lord Xu? Xu Houshan is just a commoner now!" The emperor's tone was full of coldness.

With Yun Mujiu's witnesses and evidence, how could he protect Xu Houshan and let him return to the position of Junior Minister of Dali Temple? Moreover, Ye Xiaohan's subordinate, the so-called Master Wei Bo, also presented all the evidence of Xu Houshan's crimes since he took office. He had no reason to protect Xu Houshan, a complete idiot!

The minister who had just spoken was trembling with fear and did not dare to speak again.

The emperor glared at him and returned to the previous topic: "Get rid of Xu Houshan? I do want to! Then tell me, where is the right time to deal with Xu Houshan now!"

Xu Houshan failed in his mission and did not die in Herb Hall as he had planned, leaving a mess for Yun Mujiu.

The best time to kill Xu Houshan is at Herbal Hall, and the second best time is on the way from Herbal Hall to the Yamen.

However, there was one person who had thought of these opportunities earlier than them and took measures to deal with them early...
