The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Eight guards carried Yun Mujiu's sedan chair through several long streets. Even though people had been sent to clear the road for the wedding, there were still many people on the nearby roads watching the fun.

"Whose wedding is this? Such a grand ceremony, with eight large sedan chairs and rare dragon and phoenix sedan chairs?" A commoner asked the person next to him curiously.

The other rolled his eyes and cursed, "You are stupid! Look at the guards' pomp, temperament, and clothing. They must be from the Night Palace!"

Another young woman asked in confusion: "But isn't this a wedding? Why isn't there anyone beating gongs or drums, or holding up flags, gongs, umbrellas or fans?"

The voices of the common people's discussions reached Yun Mujiu's ears intermittently, but she sat quietly and remained unmoved.

Although the Ye Palace gave her face on the surface, they actually didn't take her seriously. Yun Mujiu knew her own limitations and she understood the Ye Palace's approach very well.

The impression she leaves on the world is still as bad as ever. Living in this ancient society with a strict hierarchy and supreme imperial power, she naturally has no status, identity, or dignity.

Therefore, she was not angry or upset. She knew that she would change everything in the future. She, Yun Mujiu, was no longer a useless lady. She would become an excellent lady!

As the wedding procession headed north to the Night King's Palace in the center of the capital, they passed a long street with two to four-story houses lined up on both sides of the street.

Yun Mujiu quietly opened a corner of the curtain all the way, carefully observing everything outside. Last time she came back from escaping from the wild, she stayed in the mansion without going out. This was the first time she had the opportunity to observe the current situation of the country so vividly.

There were shops and houses on both sides of the long street, but now they are all closed. The Ye Mansion had already spent money to send people to clear the place in advance, and they can resume business as usual once the wedding party passes.

Yun Mujiu looked up at the high-rise building, and suddenly there seemed to be several dazzling lights flashing, and her eyes were irritated for a moment.

She blinked her eyes, and suddenly she felt a strong sense of uneasiness and tension in her heart.

When she lifted the curtain to check the source of the flash, in an instant several long arrows with shiny tips pierced through the air with a "whoosh" sound and shot accurately towards Yun Mujiu's sedan chair.

When the imperial guards and personal guards noticed the movement, they shouted, "There's an assassin, protect the princess!" But the arrow had already been shot.

Yun Mujiu saw three arrows shot at the same time, one arrow towards the curtain, and two arrows towards the top of the sedan chair.

The two arrows were shot towards the top of the wooden sedan, which was enough to show how powerful they were.

Yun Mujiu quickly squatted sideways, then rolled towards the sedan door. An arrow pierced through the curtain on the right and went straight to the place where Yun Mujiu had just sat.

The second arrow also penetrated vertically and deeply into the seat where Yun Mujiu had just sat. Fortunately, she rolled over to the sedan door in time.

The third arrow came too fast, and the space in the sedan was limited, so when Yun Mujiu rolled to the door of the sedan, the third arrow directly grazed her left arm, tearing her clothes and causing blood to flow.

Yun Mujiu got up and took a look. The wound was a normal color, proving that the arrow was not poisonous.

The matchmaker, twelve maids, and eight male servants who came with Yun Mujiu as a dowry were already screaming and running around in panic out of fear.

While Yun Mujiu dodged the arrows, the eight guards carrying the sedan chair also put it down steadily. They were the men trained by Ye Xiaohan and would not be easily disturbed by the outside world and panic.

The imperial guards and personal guards drew their swords and quickly formed a line to surround Yun Mujiu's sedan chair. A group of personal guards ran in the direction of the arrow, while the others gathered around Yun Mujiu's sedan chair.

A personal guard with a tense expression rushed to the door of the sedan, eager to check Yun Mujiu's injuries.

The three arrows just now came suddenly, and even the guards with martial arts skills could hardly survive, let alone Yun Mujiu, a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken.

He hurriedly called out, "Princess, are you okay?"

Yun Mujiu stood up and half-knelt at this time, holding the scalpel in his right hand and the poison powder prepared last night in his left hand, ready to go.

She responded calmly, "I'm fine. I'm doing fine."

The guards' hearts suddenly relaxed. They didn't expect that Yun Mujiu, a weak woman, could escape such a dangerous assassination, and her tone was so calm, showing her strong psychological quality.

Is this really the talentless and immoral Miss Yun that was previously rumored in the capital?

Yun Mujiu said calmly: "The enemy should be coming for me. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. I don't know what's ahead and whether there is an ambush. I suggest you wait here for a minute."

Yun Mujiu's calm and steady words fell into the ears of every guard and personal guard, although they did not know Yun Mujiu, and even knew of Yun Mujiu's bad reputation.

But just now Yun Mujiu miraculously survived on his own, and his ability is definitely not inferior to theirs.

Furthermore, a woman is fearless in the face of danger, brave and resourceful, and her analysis of the current situation is logical.

If no one else deliberately arranged this assassination and specifically informed Yun Mujiu how to behave, in other words, if Yun Mujiu did not know about this matter in advance and prepared for it, then Yun Mujiu is definitely not a simple person. Her acumen, skills, and mentality are definitely among the best.

Yun Mujiu's thoughts were roughly the same as the leader of the personal guards, so he said in a deep voice: "I think the same thing. Everyone listen to my orders. Stay where you are for one minute and stay highly alert."

Everyone calmed down. Apart from the three arrows flying towards Yun Mujiu, there were no other arrows or dangers, nor was there any sound of assassins.

At this time, the guards who were checking the situation came running back and shouted from a distance: "Report, the enemy has already left."

The guards immediately ordered: "This is not a safe place. We should not stay here for long. Leave as soon as possible and return home."

Lift the sedan again.

The imperial guards and the personal guards rearranged themselves, but the personal guards held their swords tightly in their hands. They picked up the matchmaker, the maidservants and the male servants hiding on the side of the road like chickens and threw them behind the team.

Yun Mujiu did not pull out the arrows in the sedan. She believed that the Night King's men would investigate the source of these arrows.

She sat directly in the innermost corner, but her mental vigilance did not decrease in the slightest, and she remained highly alert all the way to the Night King's Palace.

Today's incident was aimed at her alone. The murderer did not shoot more arrows. The first possibility is that he determined that Yun Mujiu would die after the first shot. The second possibility is that it doesn't matter whether Yun Mujiu lives or dies, and he just wanted to scare her, deter her, warn her, or for other purposes.

At present, the first guess is more likely.

When they arrived at the Night Palace, there were already some people waiting at the door, but there was no sign of the groom. The sound of cannons was sporadic, and everyone was very quiet. The whole atmosphere was a bit depressing and weird.

Yun Mujiu's left sleeve was torn by an arrow, but he wore many layers of clothes in winter, so if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that his clothes were torn.

Yun Mujiu heard the matchmaker shouting, "Please get out of the sedan chair, bride, and have a safe journey." She gently placed her hand on the back of the matchmaker's hand and slowly got out of the sedan chair.

Then he heard, "Please invite the bride to pass over the fire basin, and live a prosperous life." Yun Mujiu lifted her skirt slightly and strode over.

Originally, the groom should have been the one to lead the bride in getting out of the sedan chair and jumping over the fire basin, but due to the groom's special physical condition, Yun Mujiu had to do it alone.

On the wedding day, the bride is about to enter the house. Although the groom is not feeling well, it would be good for him to visit and accompany the bride.

The Night King did not show up, but Yun Mujiu didn’t care or mind, because he didn’t love him so it didn’t matter.

Moreover, Yun Mujiu always remembered the purpose of her coming to the Night Palace, so she did not cry or make a fuss, but quietly completed the initiation ceremony by herself.

This move surprised everyone in the palace. Wasn't Yun Mujiu a fierce and arrogant woman? Why was she so calm when her husband's family ignored her?
