The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Not long ago, when the prince heard Yun Mujiu asking for one million taels, his jaw dropped in shock.

"Auntie Huang, one million taels is too much, can you give me less?"

"One million and two hundred thousand taels." Yun Mujiu remained calm.

"Aunt Huang, I...can't afford that much money."

"One million and four hundred thousand taels." Yun Mujiu chuckled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you want money or face?"

The prince was in a dilemma. Many people in the capital knew that he had been with Yun Shirou. If he abandoned Yun Shirou today, others would definitely blame him, which would affect his reputation. In addition, Yun Shirou was not without merit. At least she was the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. If he could get the help of Prime Minister Yun, he would have another great helper in the process of ascending the throne.

The prince pleaded again: "Can't it be cheaper?"

Yun Mujiu smiled: "One million and six hundred thousand taels."

"Stop!" The prince almost vomited blood. The more he persuaded Yun Mujiu, the more he raised the price. He asked cautiously, "Let's go back to the original negotiation. How about one million taels of silver?"

"Deal." Yun Mujiu nodded. "One hand over the money and the other hand over the person."

The prince was dumbfounded. Yun Mujiu responded very straightforwardly, which made him feel cheated. Could it be that his negotiation skills were not as good as Yun Mujiu's? After all, he was several years older than Yun Mujiu, and he was also the prince of a country!

He nodded angrily and whispered to his followers to get the money.

When he looked at Yun Shirou who was lying on the ground crying, his face was filled with undisguised disgust and heartache.

He hated Yun Shirou's reckless behavior, but how come he had never noticed that Yun Shirou was so stupid?

I felt sorry for him for losing one million taels of silver in vain. He would have to save money for a while, and he had to hide the fact that he spent one million taels from everyone.

"Wuwuwu..." I could hear a woman's sobbing, and the volume was getting louder and louder.

The prince frowned, and his thoughts that had jumped into his memories were slowly pulled out of his mind.

He looked at the crying Yun Shirou coldly, and could not feel any sympathy in his heart.

In the past, when Yun Shirou cried in front of him about Yun Mujiu's barbaric character, he would always comfort Yun Shirou carefully. In the future, when he saw Yun Mujiu, he would put on a bad face and say a few more bad words, just to stand up for Yun Shirou.

Now it seems that it was Yun Shirou who had slandered Yun Mujiu. How could the Yun Mujiu in front of her be such a vulgar and inferior person?

"Prince," Yun Mujiu found Yun Shirou's shy sobbing annoying, "The contract has been signed, and you have paid the money. You can leave now."

There were two contracts on the table in front of Yun Mujiu, which she had just signed with the prince. The content was that the prince compensated her with one million taels of silver, and she would not care about Yun Shirou's deliberate murder against her and let her leave the Herb Hall.

Yun Mujiu said: "Take a contract and give it back to the prince."

Suixi took one and walked towards the prince.

The prince said, "No need. You can handle it as you see fit."

He didn't want to hold onto this piece of paper any longer. It would be disastrous if his father or mother found out. The money had been paid, and the matter was settled. Keeping this piece of waste paper would not change anything.

The prince walked out with his entourage, and two servants helped Yun Shirou up.

Yun Shirou thought she was completely saved, and turned around to glare at Yun Mujiu fiercely.

"You have such a cruel heart. You are so ruthless to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Emperor and the Queen?"

"I'll pay it back with money. It's something we both agreed to. How can they blame me?"

Yun Mujiu continued, "The prince will keep the news secret. If you leak it out, it will not only be the prince who will suffer, but you will also be implicated."

Why did Yun Shirou think that after she informed the emperor and the queen, these two people would not punish her first? If she was not stupid, how could she cause the prince to bleed so much?

Yun Shirou's face looked even worse, and she didn't dare to refute Yun Mujiu.

The servant dragged her slowly, and Yun Shirou shouted, "Did you ruin my grandfather's family? The Ye family is in trouble, it's your fault, isn't it?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Yun Mujiu looked at Yun Shirou as if she were a dead person. "Besides, so what?"

"Evildoers will be punished, and so will you..."

Yun Shirou screamed and struggled violently. Suixi and Fusang stepped forward, and Yun Shirou's pupils trembled, and she dared not shout anymore.

The prince stood in the hall. Wanyan Gu observed the prince's expression and asked carefully, "Your Highness, you have worked hard. How about I take you to the restaurant for a drink?"

The prince remembered that the Queen had told him to be careful of Wanyan Gu, and he also remembered that he had just seen Yun Shirou flirting with Wanyan Gu, so his thin lips pursed.

"No need, I will be busy later."

Wanyan Gu was a little disappointed, "Ah, let's get together again next time we have a chance."

The prince did a good deed and asked his servants to help Yun Shirou out.

Yun Mujiu stood at the door of the clinic, narrowed his eyes, and said loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is amazing! He is such a loyal and righteous man!"

The people waiting nearby had subtle expressions, and suddenly realized that the reason why the prince saved Yun Shirou was because he and Yun Shirou really had a private friendship!

The prince shuddered, turned around and looked at Yun Mujiu with dissatisfaction, but quickly withdrew his dissatisfied gaze.

Yun Mujiu's sudden shout scared the prince enough.

Yun Mujiu crossed her arms and smiled. The words she said were enough to make others think that the prince's kindness in helping others was a way of protecting the person he loved...

What the prince wanted most was for others to praise his gentlemanly demeanor, but he didn't expect that Yun Mujiu's words would downplay the purpose of his painstaking actions.

It is not the high-level gentlemanly demeanor, but the low-level love between men and women.

The prince gritted his teeth in hatred, swung his sleeves and turned around. He couldn't argue with Yun Mujiu, so he could only choose to ignore him!

Yun Mujiu's face was as cold as frost. At that time, the prince and Yun Shirou had been having an affair without telling her. Did they ever think about what would happen in the future? The suffering they had experienced was not enough. If she was not ruthless, how could she be worthy of the original owner who died innocently!

Fortunately, the relationship between the prince and Yun Shirou is becoming increasingly strained. This evil relationship will not have a good ending after all!

Now another group of people walked into the Herb Hall and just passed by Yun Shirou. They looked at Yun Shirou curiously, wondering what had happened.

Wanyan Gu stayed where he was, not following the prince's pace. Suddenly, a man dressed as an envoy hurriedly walked towards him and whispered something to him.

In an instant, Wanyan Gu's face fell and turned frighteningly dark.

Yun Mujiu half raised his eyebrows, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

After two breaths, Wanyan Gu adjusted his mood and his face returned to calm. He nodded to Yun Mujiu and said, "Princess Ye, I will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his steps were very quick and he seemed a little flustered.

Yun Mujiu confirmed in his heart: Something happened to Wanyan Gu’s people...
