Yun Mujiu felt a little hot. She blinked her eyes and slowly woke up.

After a short nap, she regained some energy and spirit.

She called softly, "Chunlan."

The voices in the courtyard stopped abruptly, and Chunlan asked with concern: "Princess, did I wake you up?"

"It's okay, you come in first. Tell Butler Zeng that I will go out to see Yun Shirou right away."

After Yun Mujiu got up, Chunlan helped her find a set of simple clothes and tied her hair into a simple bun.

"No need to put on rouge. We announced to the public that I had caught a cold, which just highlights my weak complexion."

Today she had to step forward to resolve the matter of the Yun Mansion's visit. Yun Shirou must have been instructed by Prime Minister Yun to come and inquire about the news of the Ye Mansion. If she didn't come forward, Yun Shirou might cause some trouble again.

The Ye Mansion suddenly announced that it would be closed due to the princess' illness. There must be all kinds of speculations from the outside world. Her appearance in public could better confirm the truth of this statement and temporarily calm the restless hearts of various factions.

Yun Mujiu walked to the main gate of the Qichi courtyard and saw Butler Zeng standing in the distance.

"See Princess."

Yun Mujiu nodded and caught a glimpse of two guards behind Butler Zeng. They were carrying a sedan chair with exquisite carvings of auspicious clouds.

She asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Butler Zeng smiled and said, "This was specially prepared for the princess by someone the prince sent." Butler Zeng also slightly emphasized the word "specially".

Yun Mujiu had just woken up and his head was a little dizzy, so he didn't realize the emphasis that Butler Zeng put on the words.

Ye Xiaohan? Why would he suddenly send me a sedan chair?

Thinking that everyone around him was from the Ye Mansion, Yun Mujiu guessed that it was because of a series of abnormal behaviors he had displayed after leaving Huayang Courtyard. After Ye Xiaohan learned that he was unwell, he ordered people to prepare a sedan chair.

She was not a shy person, and would not suffer if she could. Having a sedan chair would save her from having to walk such a long distance.

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll be very grateful to you."

Since Qichiyuan was quite far from the main gate of Ye Mansion, and Yun Mujiu took some time to wake up and dress, it took them almost an incense stick of time to reach the gate.

With a clang, the guard opened the heavy mahogany door of the Ye Mansion.

Yun Shirou paced back and forth with her back to the stone lion at the door, looking anxious. Her maid was admonishing the guards at the gate of the Ye Mansion: "Let us in quickly, we are here to visit Princess Ye!"

The four guards looked stern, and one of them shouted, "The prince has ordered that the palace be closed for the time being!"

"Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

Yun Shirou turned around and shouted, "I am the princess's sister. My sister is sick. Can't I go to see her?"

She noticed that the door was open at this time, and her eyes swept from bottom to top, across the steps at the door, until her eyes stopped...

She froze for the next second, and then her pupils dilated.

Maids and guards stood on both sides, and a woman in white stood in the middle. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she wore no makeup, but her appearance was extremely pure and beautiful.

Yun Shirou frowned, this look seemed familiar.

"Second Miss Yun, why don't you go and pay your respects to Princess Ye?" Butler Zeng reminded her.

Yun Shirou's face changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost.

This is actually the bitch Yun Mujiu?

How did her face get better?

Mother poisoned Meng Wanzhou when she was pregnant. How could Yun Mujiu easily detoxify her now?

The onlookers were all stunned, and then a heated discussion broke out.

"Did I hear correctly? This is Princess Ye?"

"Princess Ye is so stunningly beautiful, oh my god!"

"Princess Ye is extremely beautiful, but her face is a little pale."

"Pinch me and I'll see if I'm dreaming."

"Look at you, you're such a jerk. Wipe your saliva!"

"Your little eyes are almost sparkling!"

...

Yun Mujiu calmly watched Yun Shirou's changing expressions, and then she sat directly on the sedan chair on the ground.

She sat on the sedan chair as if it were a chair, and watched carefully what tricks Yun Shirou was going to play.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled gently, "Second Miss Yun has been well-educated. She is not a rude and unruly woman who does not know etiquette, is she?"

Yun Shirou's face changed, she remembered the task her father had told her, and she bit her lip and bowed. "Sister, I heard that you were sick, and my father, mother and I were all very worried, so we came to visit you."

"Don't call me sister."

"You are the daughter of my father's second wife, Ye. My mother, Meng Wanzhou, has only me as her daughter." Yun Mujiu didn't want to pronounce the word "father", but it didn't hurt to pretend in public. The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and she didn't want to be accused of being unfilial for nothing.

At this time, some people gathered in front of the gate of Ye Mansion, and they stretched their necks to look over here.

Yun Shirou curled her lips and smiled stiffly: "Then let me in first, and we'll talk inside." As long as she enters the door, she will have the opportunity to persuade Yun Mujiu to stay in the Yun Mansion, and at the same time she can also get some information about the defensive layout of the Ye Mansion.

"No need. The weather is cold, and many people in the mansion have caught a bad cold. I also caught a severe cold. The prince has ordered the door to be closed to visitors." Bringing up Ye Xiaohan, this big Buddha, could better stop other people's endless arguments.

Yun Mujiu spoke in a faint voice, then covered his face with a handkerchief and started coughing violently.

"Cough...cough..."

Yun Shirou subconsciously took a few steps back, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes. She had finally been cured by Doctor Shi's treatment, and she didn't want to get sick again. During the days of poisoning, every minute and every second was worse than death!

She frowned and tried to persuade him, "But Princess, I'm worried about you. How can you bear to refuse a visit from your family?"

Yun Mujiu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Visiting? I've never seen anyone dressed up like this to visit a patient?" She did not answer Yun Shirou's moral kidnapping question, but cleverly shifted the topic to Yun Shirou.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Shirou at once.

Yun Shirou had on a slightly exaggerated amount of heavy makeup, with her entire face covered in thick powder, which was far different from the skin color of her neck. In addition, she was wearing a dark rose-red crane-ruyi brown skirt, which was very bright and eye-catching.

Yun Shirou's face was quickly filled with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to refute.

She wore heavy makeup because the black pimples caused by the poisoning on her face had not been completely removed, but she was in a hurry to find Yun Mujiu, so she could only apply layer after layer of powder.

However, what she didn't expect was that the person who poisoned her, Ye and Yun Jingyu was Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu did not give Yun Shirou a chance to refute, and said generously: "You don't need to bring any medicine to see me. The prince spent a lot of money to buy many rare medicinal herbs for me and also hired a doctor. The prince loves me very much." After saying that, she started coughing violently again.

The staff of Ye Mansion and the onlookers turned their eyes to Yun Shirou and her servants, and found that they all had nothing in their hands, and did not look like they were visiting a patient at all.

Yun Shirou only came to the house with the purpose of gathering information, and she never thought that even if it was a show, she had to do it thoroughly. Visiting a patient empty-handed was not in line with normal etiquette.

Yun Shirou was in a dilemma. She was not sure whether Yun Mujiu had suddenly become powerful or whether he was acting like this because of Ye Xiaohan's instructions. But what she was sure of was that no matter which situation it was, she would probably fail miserably today.

She responded cunningly: "Princess Ye, my parents actually prepared the herbs, but I forgot to bring them."

Yun Mujiu smiled gently, "Oh, really? It doesn't matter, as long as the intention is there, the person doesn't have to be there."

The people in the Ye Mansion all lowered their heads slightly, trying to suppress their smiles. Their princess is really eloquent!

Yun Shirou was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. How come Yun Mujiu could accurately refute whatever she said! And he always mentioned the Night King!

Could it be possible that she really had found a treasure?
