Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Hearing Ye Yi's words, Ye Shangyuan's expression softened. He stepped forward and stood face to face with Ye Yi. He patted Ye Yi's shoulder and said in a gentler tone, "If you're injured, rest for a few days. Let Ye San investigate the rest."

Ye Yi's heart tightened. He gripped the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Your Highness, I am unharmed. It was my dereliction of duty that caused the Fifth Miss, no, the Princess Consort, to suffer such great harm. I will definitely investigate and find what Su Su brought back."

Ye Shangyuan shook his head and slowly said, "This matter is not as simple as it seems. Mu Mu doesn't understand the Yuan family of Xijin City, but you should. Do you think that Xijin City approached Mo Shijie for cooperation because of Mu Mu's identity as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

Yoruichi suddenly realized that the Yuan family in Xijin City was originally a branch of the Yuan family in the capital, and the Yuan family in the capital supported the Wing King!

"Does Your Highness mean that Prince Yi was also involved in this matter?" Yoruichi asked in surprise.

"Ye San has never been able to find out who is behind Mo Cheng'an, but all the clues he has point to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Dongli Kingdom. That old scoundrel doesn't have that kind of ability," Ye Shangyuan said dismissively.

It's not that Ye Shangyuan looks down on the Prime Minister of Dongli Kingdom; anyone with eyes can see that it's just a figurehead.

Ye Yi also felt that Ye Shangyuan's analysis was correct. He recalled the token he had found in the corner when he went to wait for Granny Kang to come out. He said, "Your Highness, I found this in Granny Kang's room." After speaking, he respectfully handed it to Ye Shangyuan with both hands.

Ye Shangyuan took it, examined it carefully, and his expression changed from surprise to solemnity.

Yoruichi asked, "Is there something wrong with the token?"

"Ye Yi, go and invite Master Wu to the study." Ye Shangyuan said solemnly.

He felt that the symbol on the token looked very familiar.

Seeing Ye Shangyuan's solemn expression, Ye Yi also began to take it seriously. He had initially thought that the token was just that of one of the families in this group.

Now, it seems that this token is quite unusual.

As Yoruichi turned to leave the courtyard, she happened to run into Yoruzo, who was returning. He didn't rush to leave.

"Your Highness, the arrangements for Granny Kang's funeral have been made as you instructed," Ye San said.

"Go ask Mu Mu again to see what adjustments are needed. Since Mu Mu wants to fulfill her and Kang Momo's grandmother-granddaughter relationship, then do as she wishes," Ye Shangyuan instructed carefully.

"Yes, Your Highness. I'll go find Miss Wu and ask her if there's anything else she needs to adjust." Ye San bowed and was about to leave.

Then Ye Shangyuan corrected him, "From now on, call me Princess Consort."

Ye San was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed with delight, "Your Highness, you've caught up?"

Ye Shangyuan chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Go take care of your business. Don't talk so much."

"Alright, I'll go find the Princess Consort right away." With that, Ye San ran out with a smile.

Yoruichi called out to Yoruzo, "The princess just went back to her room to sleep. Why don't you wait until she wakes up before you go?"

Ye San, being observant, quickly noticed Ye Yi's unusual behavior, but he didn't say much, only jokingly saying, "Big brother, you also know that Miss Wu is our mistress?"

"Yes, the Prince ordered me to protect the Princess, so I will be by her side from now on. My mistress is now the Princess. From now on, the Prince will rely on you." Ye Yi said in a serious tone.

Ye San felt he had received quite a few surprises today. He asked, "Brother, haven't you always been by the Prince's side? Did you do something wrong?"

Yoruichi slapped Yoruichi hard on the shoulder and said irritably, "Yoruichi, you're really smart when you're clever, but now you're just plain stupid! Don't you realize how important the Princess is to the Prince?"

“I did see it, I saw it back then, but I thought the prince was only interested in the fifth young lady, after all, the fifth young lady has many secrets!” Ye San said.

"Your Highness," Yoruichi corrected.

"Alright, alright, Your Highness, Your Highness." Ye San gave in.

Yoruichi spoke again, saying, "The prince said that the princess is my master, so she is my master. I also want to follow the princess."

Yoruichi looked at Yoruichi in surprise. This was the first time he had ever heard Yoruichi say that he wanted to follow a master other than the prince.

Suddenly, Yoruichi seemed to have a sudden realization and looked at Yoruichi, shouting in a broken voice, "Yoruichi, you, you, you wouldn't be with the Queen!"

Yoruichi reached out and slapped Yoruichi's finger away, saying irritably, "Have you been receiving too much information and your brain is fried? What are you thinking? Go do your thing!"

Ye Yi fled from Ye San as if escaping, and went to find Wu Ying.

Yoruichi watched Yoruichi's departing figure with suspicion, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

When Yoruichi found Wu Ying, Reizumi and he studied the blueprints that Mu Xue had sent over earlier.

Seeing Yoruichi arrive, Reizumi went up to her and asked, "Why are you here? Who is with the Prince?"

Yoruichi said directly, "His Highness requests that Master Wu come to his study; there is something he needs to discuss."

Upon hearing that Ye Shangyuan was looking for him, Wu Ying asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly looking for me? Isn't Your Highness with Xiaoxue?"

"The Princess has already gone back to her room to rest. Ye San is in charge of Kang Mama's funeral arrangements," Ye Yi replied.

"Your Highness!" Leng Quan exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Ying was also very surprised, but after all, he was older and saw things more clearly than the younger people.

He asked, "Has Your Highness already gotten engaged to Xiaoxue?"

Ye Yi nodded and said, "The prince just told me that I should treat the princess with the same respect I would show him. I will stay by her side and protect her from now on."

Reiichi was filled with envy. He said, "Yoruichi is great! I also want to follow the princess. She has so many wonderful things. It must be so interesting to follow her!"

Wu Ying chuckled and patted Leng Quan on the shoulder, saying, "Don't even think about it. You're the Grand Steward of the Regent's Palace. Once your prince marries Xiao Xue, you can openly follow your princess! What's the rush?"

Leng Quan gave Wu Ying a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Master Wu is right, he's very thoughtful. After the princess marries into the family, I will be her subordinate."

Wu Ying said, "Alright, hurry up and go to the study, the Prince is waiting."

"Yes, shall we go together, Yoruichi?" Reizen asked, turning around.

"I have to go protect the princess, and Ye San still needs to find out where Su Su is," Ye Yi said.

Recalling Mu Xue's experiences over the past two days, Wu Ying sighed and said, "Little Xue'er has had a tough time. Luckily, she met the Prince!"

Suddenly, he remembered something and said to Leng Quan, "Wait for me to get something."

Soon Wu Ying came out with a small booklet in his hand.

Leng Quan joked, "Oh, Master Wu, how could you bear to take out your treasure?"
