The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

It took three whole days and three nights for the three top assassins of Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion to rush from the capital to Yanggu Prefecture in the north. They did not stop during the journey and each of them killed three horses.

Netherworld Nine-Nine held the reins tightly with both hands, and the blood color in his red eyes became even more intense.

The three killers knelt down to report and relayed the message that Wei Bo asked them to convey.

Wei Song and the others sitting on horseback didn't dare to breathe, and everyone held their breath.

Then, one of the Mushi killers handed a letter to Youming Jiuchong with both hands.

"Ming Jun, this is a letter written by Master Wei Bo."

Youming Jiuchong quickly opened the envelope and glanced through it.

The assassin continued, "Master Wei Bo urgently summoned us at night to report the latest situation of the princess to you. We did not dare to stop and rushed all the way here."

Netherworld's pupils suddenly shrank, and only he knew that his heart was beating very fast. The heart discomfort he had felt in the past few days came again, sweeping across his entire body and mind.

In the letter, Wei Bai reported in detail Yun Mujiu's discomfort for several days, and even described in detail the situation when Yun Mujiu suddenly fell ill when he read Ye Xiaohan's reply.

He didn't understand medicine, and he knew that Yun Mujiu, as a doctor, couldn't diagnose his illness, let alone suppress the onset of the disease. He knew that Yun Mujiu's condition was very difficult.

Therefore, Wei Bo objectively described the situation with Yun Mujiu in the letter, and because he was concerned about Yun Mujiu, he unintentionally highlighted his anxiety in the text. This made someone who was already concerned about Yun Mujiu feel even more anxious.

Youming Jiuchong's heart tightened when he saw this. Moreover, he was always concerned about Yun Mujiu's safety. When he saw Wei Bai's urgent letter, he wanted to fly back to the capital immediately.

He estimated the time and found that three days had passed since the date when Yun Mujiu fell ill as mentioned in the letter. He had no idea about Yun Mujiu's specific condition during these three days. Even if there were new letters from the Night Palace during these three days, they would probably not fall into his hands so quickly. It would be better for him to rush back to the capital now.

Youming Jiuchong held the letter tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Wei Song and the others also became anxious. You know, the people of the Night Palace will not easily use the people of the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion. Generally, the people of the Night Palace and the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion have their own division of labor and usually do not mix together. In addition, if the Night Palace has news to pass on, it should be enough to use the secret guards of the palace.

And this time, Wei Bo actually used people from Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion, and sent three top assassins! This shows how serious the princess's situation is!

Nether Nine instantly recalled the days in the capital when Yun Mujiu had several sudden attacks of illness. At that time, even Yun Mujiu himself, as well as doctors like Du Ziheng, were at a loss as to how to deal with Yun Mujiu's stubborn illness.

The scene of Yun Mujiu's illness reappeared in front of him...

He didn't know what specific illness Yun Mujiu had now, so he could only think of it as a chronic illness.

But Yun Mujiu was seriously ill before, but it was not as serious as what he said in the letter this time!

The sky was gloomy and it had already gone dark all around. Only the hazy moonlight added some light to the scenic mountain scenery.

Nether Nine's heart was filled with emotions, but he still tried to control his emotions. He waved his hand and spoke coldly to the three killers.

"I understand. You guys go down and rest, and then we will go to the capital with the main force."

Then he looked at Wei Song and the others, "I will go back first, and you will follow."

"Lord Ming!" Wei Song couldn't help but speak, his eyebrows and eyes were also filled with obvious worry. "How about we go back together, we will speed up the pace."

The others also showed an eager look, and Youming Jiuchong's face instantly darkened.

A guard followed up and said, "Lord Ming, many imperial teams are still here, and the road back to the capital is long. You have to travel alone overnight..."

The master is their heaven, and they must always consider the master's safety! The master is the heaven of these people, and they must never let the master take the slightest danger, not to mention that they have to go home alone and travel overnight, and there are so many enemies of the master in the rivers and lakes and the court!

"Shut up!" The veins on Youming Jiuchong's forehead bulged, and he shouted loudly to silence everyone's whispered suggestions.

"The safety of my wife is the most important thing."

Everyone dared not say anything, and thought that the Netherworld Nineth Layer treated things related to Yun Mujiu differently. Yun Mujiu was an exception to the Netherworld Nineth Layer, so the Netherworld Nineth Layer would also do many unusual things for Yun Mujiu.

Netherworld Nine glanced around coldly, and everyone lowered their heads in guilt and shame.

"What I need is someone who listens to my orders, not someone who interferes with my decisions by using some so-called concerns for my own good."

"We know we are wrong, and hope that Lord Ming will calm down."

No matter how worried he was about Yun Mujiu, Youming Jiuchong had to make some brief arrangements for the final settlement of some official matters.

After giving the cold warning, he issued some corresponding orders to everyone.

Among them, Wei Song was asked to take a small team to inspect the work of officials in some areas of Zhongyue, especially those under his name, and to examine whether they performed their duties well, such as the implementation of a series of measures he issued on drought prevention and response. This plan was made before he left the Night Palace, but it was only convenient to implement it now.

As for taking a detour to Xuewo County to help Yun Mujiu investigate the missing man in black robe, I can only wait until I have a chance to go there with Yun Mujiu in the future.

In addition, he also left some people from the Underworld Palace to monitor the actions of King Di and his entourage.

Finally, he glanced coldly at Wan Yan Sen who was unconscious on horseback.

"Keep an eye on him and bring him back to the capital."

The neighing of the horse suddenly sounded, and the front hooves of the Red Hare were raised high.

Accompanied by the rapid and dull sound of horse hooves, everyone looked up and saw a red figure flash by, leaving only a cloud of dust.

...

On the top of the mountain, King Di stood aside with a sinister look on his face, while the other guards stood in a row, waiting for someone to come out of the underground palace under the attic.

The Lord of Hell threw a group of captured Nantai warriors to them, and there were still some remnants in the underground palace. They had to capture all the people from Nantai.

While Prince Di was busy directing the guards to arrest people, he was wondering in his heart - what key information did the Lord of Hell extract from the Sixth Prince and these assassins before they arrived!

Unfortunately, King Di is not from the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld. At this moment, or in the future, he will not know what results the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld’s pursuit operation has found.

In fact, Netherworld Nineth Layer did make a major discovery! But now he does not intend to tell the people of Emperor Yu's faction...
