The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu pursed his lips, and his handsome eyebrows drooped. His little face looked as aggrieved as a closed sunflower.

She is not a hypocritical person, and she doesn't know what it means to be "spoiled by favor". She was born as an orphan and has suffered a lot along the way, and she has rarely felt warmth during this period.

And she, Yun Mujiu, in this dynasty, did feel some obscure and careful love from Ye Xiaohan. How could she not have complicated feelings?

Ye Xiaohan's care and love, like a long stream of water, touched Yun Mujiu, and she dared to express the emotions in her heart that had never surfaced before...

for example?

Wronged…

Yes, she felt wronged. Now she could say that she felt “wronged”.

Because she knows that when she expresses her need to be loved and cared for, someone will give her timely and complete feedback on her needs!

Even when she does not express clearly or hides what she is thinking, the man who holds her at the top of his heart will care about everything about her and give her warm care.

The more Yun Mujiu thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and the more she felt since she was already feeling unwell.

It can be said that it was a rare occasion that Yun Mujiu cried in a "sentimental" way.

Fusang and Suixi were shocked. Wei Bai and Du Ziheng, who were arguing at the door of the greenhouse, were also stunned. Butler Zeng frowned.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Everyone came forward, concerned about what happened to Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu suppressed her emotions. Everyone's concern was well-intentioned, but it also made her feel more touched.

Just like a person who is trying not to cry, she could have forcibly restrained all her emotions, but once someone who cares about her asks, "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, all her psychological defenses will completely collapse.

Yun Mujiu was already somewhat sensitive due to her past experiences, and now the tears in her eyes were even more uncontrollable.

Wei Bai was anxious and flustered. He was worried about Yun Mujiu, but he also panicked. It was over. The princess was so ill, and he didn't seem to have described the princess's illness as serious in the letter he wrote to the prince!

What a mistake! He was so sorry to the princess and the prince! He should have sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince as fast as possible! He would write another urgent letter right away!

Yun Mujiu sniffed, forced himself to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry." After a pause, he quickly added, "I'm not crying because I'm not feeling well."

Everyone still didn't believe it, and heard Yun Mujiu's voice, "I...Okay, I just miss the prince."

Everyone was stunned, the worried look on their faces faded, replaced by a teasing expression. Haha, it turns out that the princess is thinking about the prince. Usually the princess always looks capable and steady, which makes them forget for a moment that such a smart and capable princess is just a little girl!

Yun Mujiu wiped the tears from her eyes while pretending to be angry—

"I am just sentimental for a moment...I miss the prince."

Well, there was nothing wrong with her explanation. Her complex emotions were mainly caused by Ye Xiaohan. And the reason why she cried emotionally was because of what Ye Xiaohan did, which in turn caused her to have some emotional sighs about her background, her journey, and her current state.

If she had just arrived at the Night Palace, she would not dare to cry, for she was afraid that Ye Xiaohan would not want to let her survive in the Night Palace when he saw her, the daughter of his enemy, crying.

But now, even if Ye Xiaohan was right in front of her, she dared to cry directly.

Because she knows...

Now she is crying, and someone will... comfort her.

Wei Bai breathed a sigh of relief and started to tease Yun Mujiu boldly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the princess and the prince have such a good relationship, it makes us all feel envious."

Yun Mujiu rolled his eyes at Wei Bai with amusement, "Don't be envious, you can do it too. But you have to change your bad mouth, otherwise everyone who gets along with you will be pissed off by you."

Wei Bai screamed and everyone laughed, expressing their glee at Wei Bai's misfortune.

Everyone argued for a while, and it ended with Wei Bai begging for mercy.

Yun Mujiu calmed herself down and planned to regain her positive attitude. Before Ye Xiaohan came back, she had to take care of things in the capital.

She took the initiative to ask about the situation outside, and Fuso and Suixi told her about the news outside.

Xu Houshan had been imprisoned without any major changes. The big man and the servant who had caused trouble with Xu Houshan in the Herb Hall that day, as well as the several accomplices who had hidden in the crowd, were all imprisoned together.

Although Xu Houshan was caned by the emperor that night, he was still alive. Maybe it was because he had thick skin and could withstand it.

The thin servant who was closest to Xu Houshan, the one who betrayed Xu Houshan and joined the emperor's camp, died the next morning after being imprisoned. The people in the government office said that he died suddenly. However, the other accomplices who were imprisoned together, like Xu Houshan, survived temporarily after being punished.

On the first day Xu Houshan was imprisoned, the Night King's Mansion presented evidence of Xu Houshan's crimes. In the following morning court sessions, officials and generals from the Night King's faction began to appeal and report Xu Houshan's faults, requesting the emperor to make a decision for the Night King's wife and the people.

Surprisingly, this time some officials from the neutral faction also joined the camp of the Night Palace, which shows that they have long been dissatisfied with Xu Houshan and others.

In addition, some of Duke Meng's old subordinates also came forward to speak a fair word for the people in the Night Palace.

The emperor was furious and stated in court that he would severely punish Xu Houshan and his group.

As Xu Houshan's various crimes were exposed, people from the Yewang Mansion submitted some complaints and attached some evidence. Those complaints recorded the crimes of the officials who were most closely related to Xu Houshan.

A tear was torn in the mouth of Xu Houshan, who had committed the crime, and then it was torn downwards, and other people from Xu Houshan's faction also suffered.

The emperor was angry, but the facts were before his eyes and he could not cover up the case any longer. He could only order his subordinates to judge according to the law.

Just like that...After Xu Houshan and the people in Xu's mansion were imprisoned, some officials who were closest to Xu Houshan were also tried and dismissed from their posts.

Strike while the iron is hot. The officials of the Night King's faction thought of the Night King's plan and quickly promoted their colleagues, or directly selected some officials who seemed neutral but had already voted for the Night King to replace the newly vacant positions.

In this way, the Night King not only suppressed the people headed by Xu Houshan, but also cleared out a group of people in the court of the Emperor!

When Yun Mujiu heard this, his lips, which had been tightly pursed, slightly raised up, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Come to think of it, she also helped her man, didn't she?

So when Ye Xiaohan comes back, can she, who has become a little "pretentious" now, take credit from the man who always looks so cold and heartless?

Can Ye Xiaohan give her anything, or what reward does Ye Xiaohan want to give and can give her?
