The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 929: Wrath, the Night King Marries a Good Wife
What the emperor and others did not expect was that someone had already predicted their remedial strategy.
The person with foresight was Yun Mujiu.
She knew that with the emperor's temper, he would not give up. Since the emperor's men failed to poison Xu Houshan in Herb Hall, they must have tried again on the way to jail.
Yun Mujiu sent people to follow the yamen runners and escort Xu Houshan all the way to the prison. In this way, how could the emperor's people have the opportunity to deal with Xu Houshan on the way?
"This..." The minister was stumped by the queen's angry questioning. He lowered his head and thought hard. Finally, trembling, he quickly put forward a suggestion.
"Your Majesty, how about I send someone to the prison at night and kill Xu Houshan directly? Then we can push all the crimes onto the dead Xu Houshan. Without evidence, no one outside would dare to spread rumors that we instigated Xu Houshan to cause trouble, and it would not affect your reputation."
"Kill? How?" The emperor took a deep breath, and the dragon whiskers on his chin trembled slightly - "Killing him now would only make things worse."
Xu Houshan has already been detained, so it is not convenient for them to take action against him now.
Ye Xiaohan, your good wife Yun Mujiu is really great!
The trembling minister's face was wrinkled, and he really couldn't think of a solution. The others also looked miserable, and they didn't know how to make the follow-up remedies.
The emperor glared at everyone and finally spoke softly.
"It's not a good time to take action against Xu Houshan right now, so we can only wait for some time."
"After sentencing Xu Houshan, we will take action during his exile, and at the same time, we will deal with the people we have ambushed around Xu Houshan."
After the emperor finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that this was the most appropriate time at the moment. However, during this period, the bad reputation of the emperor and some ministers in the capital would continue to deteriorate, so they could only wait until later to restore their reputation.
After everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but shiver again, and a chill surged into their hearts.
Xu Houshan and they were all followers of the emperor, and the servants around Xu Houshan were also under the emperor's command. However, the final fate of Xu Houshan and those servants was tragic, and they all became useless chess pieces and were abandoned.
The emperor didn't know what his confidants were thinking at the moment, or even if he realized how they felt, he wouldn't care too much. They were just some subordinates, and if they didn't work out, he could just replace them with a new group of people. He didn't have the energy to care about them.
The emperor stopped pacing and returned to the sandalwood desk. Now that he had issued orders to deal with Xu Houshan and others, it was time for him to deal with his personal affairs.
Eunuch Li saw the opportunity and stepped forward and said considerately, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has just fallen and injured himself. Do you need to ask the imperial physician to come and take care of him?"
The emperor was about to say this when he turned his head and glared at a dragon staff guard: "How is the investigation into the crown prince's car accident going?"
"Your Majesty, the overturn of the prince's carriage seems to be an accident. The horses pulling the carriage and the carriage itself are all normal. The horses are not sick, and the carriage is not damaged." The dragon staff paused after replying, "It seems that the accident of the prince's carriage was an accident. It was caused by the driver's poor driving skills..."
"Hmph!" The emperor pinched his slightly sore brows, his face full of impatience. "The prince is really troublesome."
He knew that the prince had recently gone out to look for Dutigu's two disciples, but he still couldn't feel any sympathy for the prince.
Pointing at Eunuch Li's nose, he angrily said, "Why bother looking for an imperial physician? Let him fend for himself. What's the point of him not being able to sit comfortably in a carriage?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health."
The emperor snorted coldly again and told his confidants to leave. He sat in front of the desk, thinking carefully.
After a cup of tea, some people in the palace received news from outside the palace.
When the Emperor learned that Prince Ye and his wife were both unwell, he was first stunned, then thought about it, and finally felt secretly happy.
Ye Xiaohan's old injury has not healed yet, and Yun Mujiu suddenly feels unwell again. The situation of these two people is really not optimistic.
At this moment, the emperor's mood improved slightly.
The emperor's behavior was exactly what Yun Mujiu had expected. She had originally planned to give Ye Xiaohan a suitable reason not to attend the banquet at the Princess's residence before the banquet.
Now it just so happened that the emperor sent people to cause trouble, so she took the opportunity to release the news that Ye Xiaohan was recuperating from his injuries and also released the news that she had started to receive treatment.
As for why we want to tell the outside world the reason why the Night King will not appear?
Of course it's because - we need to shut up some people in advance, so as to avoid making random guesses about the information related to the Night King.
Although Ye Xiaohan never attended these so-called banquets and even did not take these royal members seriously, no one could interfere or influence him whether he went or not.
But after all, Ye Xiaohan is now married, and from the outside it seems that he has a harmonious relationship with his wife Yun Mujiu.
Therefore, if Yun Mujiu attends, even if Ye Xiaohan does not appear by Yun Mujiu's side, he must give a reason and explain it briefly, so that others will not continue to ask and interrogate the reason why King Ye did not appear with Princess Ye.
After Yun Mujiu released the news about her and Ye Xiaohan, she has been staying in Qichiyuan.
Today she no longer had any heart or head discomfort, but was just a little weak in body and slightly worse than usual.
...
After the Emperor learned the news released by the Night Palace, other people in the palace also received the news one after another.
The queen was a little surprised, and wondered to the people around her, "Is Yun Mujiu's health so bad? Fighting with the unreasonable Xu Houshan for a while actually consumed so much of her energy."
Nanny Pei suggested, "Queen, how about we take this opportunity to get closer to Princess Ye under the pretext of visiting her because she's sick?"
The Queen shook her head, "Too obvious."
"When Yun Mujiu treated the Queen Mother for the first time, I took the initiative to approach her, which might have attracted her attention. The second time she treated the Queen Mother, I didn't dare to approach her and talk to her easily."
"Since she is ill this time, I must not rush to approach her. This will make her more suspicious of my intentions."
Nanny Pei thought about it and agreed, but the progress of the Queen's contact with Princess Ye was so slow. Would it delay the instructions of the mysterious man who had communicated with the Queen via letters?
The Queen knew the people around her and was aware of Nanny Pei's concerns. She sighed, "There's no rush. I'll always have a chance to get closer to Yun Mujiu..."
...
Yanggu Prefecture, the letter has not yet been delivered here, and King Ye does not know what the current situation in the capital is.
In the past two days, he occasionally felt a sense of oppression and twitching in his heart, and he rarely had such strange feelings.
Especially last night, the feeling of uneasiness was very strong.
The usually steady Night King also had a moment of panic at this moment.
Wei Song and others noticed the strange changes in the Night King, and they also became uneasy.
It's over. Could it be that the last blood moon transformation has caused the current prince to suffer from sequelae?
