Yun Mujiu was sitting in the carriage returning to the Night Palace at this time, completely unaware that a young man was watching them.

The man was sitting in a street-facing box on the third floor of a roadside restaurant, a few hundred meters away from where Yun Mujiu's carriage had just stopped.

He was wearing a red sleeved robe with golden butterflies and flowers, his black hair was casually loose, he was lying on the couch, holding a pot of wine in his hand, taking a few sips from time to time.

He watched the actions of Yun Mujiu and his group with great interest.

Yun Mujiu? The eldest daughter of the Yun family? The first time I saw her, she seemed interesting.

After Yun Mujiu returned home, he went straight back to his own courtyard, and the servants in the courtyard immediately started preparing lunch.

Yun Mujiu usually eats alone. Ye Xiaohan will not summon her unless there is something important, and she is happy to be alone.

Here, Ye Xiaohan learned the details of what had happened based on the reports from the maids and guards around Yun Mujiu.

Chunlan and the others described it vividly and in detail. Ye Xiaohan could even imagine Yun Mujiu pouring poison tea into Yun Shirou's mouth, pretending to be stupid and escaping from the Yun Mansion, and saving the distressed child.

Chunlan said, "My Lord, the princess doesn't seem to have a good relationship with the people in the Yun Mansion. She has no feelings for Prime Minister Yun and Ye, and instead shows indifference and hatred."

Dong Yu also added: "Your Majesty, when I was helping the princess change her outer garments today, she raised her arms and the sleeves fell to her elbows. I accidentally saw some scars, some of which were very recent."

The original owner, Yun Mujiu, was beaten for no reason by the Ye family before his death. He was also whipped on the road after being kidnapped by gangsters, so he had a mixture of new and old scars on his body.

But Yun Mujiu doesn't care now. She will slowly heal her scars. Just apply more scar removal medicine and it will be healed after a while.

Ye Xiaohan's face remained calm. He waved his hand and asked the maids to leave.

Ying Liu paused and said, "Your Highness, the Cold Shadow Guards have checked the princess's dowry before and did not find any problems. At that time, they did not find any medical supplies that the princess took out last night."

"Today, I went to check again and found some medicines in some dowry cabinets in the warehouse of the princess's courtyard."

Ye Xiaohan's eyes became deeper, and thoughts were all over his mind.

Ying Liu asked in confusion, "Your Highness, could it be that the princess hid the medicine in a place we can't find, and she moved it out last night after something happened? But no matter how hard we search, we can't find that the princess has ever studied medicine, and we don't know who she studied under, or where the medicine resources came from."

A hint of suspicion and pressure flashed across Ye Xiaohan's eyes.

Yun Mujiu has changed so much now that it is hard to tell whether she really has a bad relationship with the Yun Mansion, or if she is just pretending to break up with the Yun Mansion, with the ultimate goal of hiding in the Ye Mansion in disguise.

When he was young, he also chose to trust others, but the other party hid it very well, and Ye Xiaohan and his men almost all fell into the hands of the spies.

The spy had been with them through thick and thin, and even saved him several times. Just when he had begun to trust people, the cruelty of reality caught him off guard.

Ye Xiaohan was only twelve years old when he fought his way through the bloody road with a sword, while the people around him kept falling down. On a dark and windy night in the woods outside the city, the white figure among the enemy was someone he wanted to cut into pieces just by thinking of him.

Thinking of the past, pain surged in his heart and Ye Xiaohan frowned slightly.

"You go down first. Come back and report if there is anything else."

After the servant bowed and left, Ye Xiaohan's usually silent eyes became unusually cold, and he was completely immersed in an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The past was so painful that he really didn't want to recall it again, and he swore that he never wanted to experience the feeling of being betrayed again.

If anyone dares to betray him, he will definitely make that person suffer a fate worse than death, and will punish the traitor with all the cruelest means in the world, with no mercy!

Yun Mujiu, if you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, you will surely die a miserable death!

Yun Mujiu, who was eating happily at this time, suddenly sneezed.

"Hey, what's going on? Why am I sneezing when the room is so warm? Is someone thinking about me or am I just in poor health and caught a cold?"

The maid who brought the food had already left, and now she was the only one in the hall.

Chunlan and the others should have gone to see Ye Xiaohan. Yun Mujiu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She had already known that everyone around her was monitoring her.

Then, she continued to eat lunch. After all, she had to go to Ye Xiaohan later to help diagnose his leg condition.

Just after noon, Yun Mujiu set out to look for Ye Xiaohan, followed by Qiutang and Dongyu who had just returned and helped carry the medicine box.

Yun Mujiu stood at the door of the study room with great anticipation, but unexpectedly the guard told him: The prince is currently busy and will see the doctor another day.

Yun Mujiu was dumbfounded. Didn't they say that he would be treated earlier? Last night, the situation was critical and he could only temporarily help Ye Xiaohan suppress the poison. Today, they had clearly agreed to diagnose both legs in detail.

Ye Xiaohan's legs were seriously injured. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the higher the possibility of recovery.

Yun Mujiu knew that Ye Xiaohan must be very concerned about his legs, but why did he suddenly reject her? Could it be that something urgent happened in the Ye Mansion that needed Ye Xiaohan's attention?

But could anything be more important than the legs of Ye Xiaohan, the pride of the world?

Even though he was confused, Yun Mujiu didn't say much. He just said to the guard gently, "Okay, it's okay. Please tell the prince that if he is free, just let me know and come over."

Yun Mujiu could only turn around and leave, but for some reason she felt a faint sense of loss and uneasiness in her heart.

At least no one in the Ye Mansion wanted to harm her for now, so she didn't deliberately hide her emotions.

There are still some things she hasn't figured out.

When she first arrived at the wild hut, she received a system prompt to save Ye Xiaohan.

The second time Ye Xiaohan had an attack of poison, she was also punished by the system in Yun Mansion.

But why didn't she receive Ye Xiaohan's distress signal sent by the system that night when the assassin attacked? He was clearly in a very dangerous condition at that time.

So under what circumstances will the system receive a distress signal and under what circumstances will it not? If you don't want to receive the signal, are there any measures to block it in a limited way?

The guard came in and reported to Ye Xiaohan: "My Lord, the princess has left. She looks a little lost."

Half of Ye Xiaohan's face was hidden in the darkness, and several candles in the room had already been extinguished.

He heard Yun Mujiu's words in the house, but did not make any comment. Although he had reached an agreement with Yun Mujiu, there were many suspicious points about Yun Mujiu...
