The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"Mu Mu." Ye Xiaohan suddenly spoke.

"Eh?" Yun Mujiu raised her eyes, embarrassed to look directly at Ye Xiaohan. She said that she dared to cry because she felt that Ye Xiaohan was good, but it was a bit embarrassing to say it out loud, and it might make people think that she had some kind of spoiled lady's temper?

“This king says, here…” Ye Xiaohan pointed at his heart and said word by word: “You can be yourself.”

Yun Mujiu's pupils trembled slightly. Can she be herself?

"Can I be myself?" Yun Mujiu widened his eyes, with a dull look on his face, followed by a smile.

Ye Xiaohan's answer told her that she could be whatever she wanted with Ye Xiaohan. She could cry whenever she wanted, without any reason, and he would never use absolutely rational requirements to restrict her behavior.

Yun Mujiu suddenly thought of a passage he had read in a book before: "The one who loves you will accept you no matter what you are like and will love you. The one who doesn't love you will not change his feelings towards you no matter what you say or do."

Yun Mujiu laughed and unconsciously moved a little closer to Ye Xiaohan's broad shoulders.

"My Lord, can I be anything I want?"

Ye Xiaohan was about to nod, but stopped and said with restraint: "Don't go too far." If Mu Mu refused to sleep with him in the future, it certainly couldn't be decided by Mu Mu alone.

If it were in the past, Yun Mujiu would have felt somewhat unhappy when faced with Ye Xiaohan's conditional words.

But now she knows more or less about Ye Xiaohan's arrogant personality, and Ye Xiaohan is most used to showing the deepness of an old cadre. She knows in her heart that Ye Xiaohan just doesn't say anything final, but in fact, Ye Xiaohan is willing to accept all her different sides.

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "I understand, Your Majesty." He lowered his voice and said specifically, "Then I will often cry and laugh at you arrogantly, okay?"

"Ahem." Ye Xiaohan coughed lightly, and also did not give Yun Mujiu a direct and clear answer.

Yun Mujiu smiled slightly, "Since Your Majesty does not deny it, I will take it as your permission."

"Then when we get along in the future, I will release my nature freely." She didn't want to suppress herself and put on a rational attitude like before. She also wanted to be willful sometimes. Anyway, she could already feel Ye Xiaohan's tolerance for her, right?

"My patience is limited." Prince Ye replied indifferently.

Yun Mujiu smiled widely, walked forward excitedly and relieved, and hugged Ye Xiaohan's shoulders.

"My Lord, you are the best!"

Ye Xiaohan's body stiffened. He had never seen Yun Mujiu act so proactively and naturally towards him in front of others, just like a simple little girl.

This feeling is not bad...

Wei Bai and his group stood aside, remaining quiet. They knew Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan were talking in private, and even though they were curious, they did not hastily disturb the couple. But...

Just because they can't hear the whispers doesn't mean they can't notice the little interactions between the Night King and his wife.

Yun Mujiu didn't know what everyone was thinking, she just wanted to release her emotions freely. She hugged Ye Xiaohan's shoulders recklessly, as innocent as a child who didn't know the world. She didn't want to care about etiquette or restraint.

Ye Xiaohan, who was held in her arms, still had a cold look on his face, but the coldness seemed to be much less than before.

Yun Mujiu had made enough of the "trouble", so he let go of Ye Xiaohan and turned to look at the group of people standing at the door of the study.

Following Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai's report on some matters in the capital via letters not long ago, Yun Mujiu now started again and everyone started chatting about various developments in the capital again.

The atmosphere in the study was harmonious. This morning's chat didn't feel like a serious morning meeting, but rather like a small gathering where everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time...

Ye Xiaohan chatted with Yun Mujiu and his group for a while. Until the water in Yun Mujiu's teacup grew cold, she and Ye Xiaohan went to the flower hall to have breakfast.

Wei Bai, on the other hand, turned to Du Ziheng and Butler Zeng and began to think about what the prince meant by "seeing clearly your mind". Du Ziheng and Butler Zeng smiled but said nothing, just letting Wei Bai think it through himself, and it would be useless for others to say more.

At the dinner table, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan suddenly had a small "conflict" while eating...

...

Two teams reappeared in the two counties in the north and northwest of the capital, one from Duti Valley and the other from Beihan.

With the Night King's deliberate interception, these people are now finally able to set off again.

The flood in the county where they were located had receded, and both water and land transportation could be used again. In addition, in the Beihan team, Princess Beimanji's sudden illness had also been alleviated, and her health was getting better, and she was finally able to travel again.

In the counties further north of the capital, a team led by King Di and the Third Prince of the Northern Boundary returned.

King Di met with Youming Jiuchong that day, and then Youming Jiuchong left after stomping on their faces, leaving some mess for the court people to deal with as usual.

After going through untold hardships and losing many lives, Prince Di and Zhao Guang finally captured the remnants of Nantai in the tunnel.

Afterwards, the newly captured Nantai spies were imprisoned together with those spies that had been captured by the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld long ago.

Zhao Guang and King Di intended to emulate the Netherworld Ninefold. They heard that the Netherworld Ninefold used some means to extract some information from the captives.

They had also heard that among these spies there were people from Nantai and possibly from the Eastern Empire.

However, among the captives left by Youming Jiuchong, there were no low-level warriors from the Eastern Empire. If there were any warriors from the empire, they might have been killed after being interrogated by Youming Jiuchong.

In any case, some Nantai spies fell into the hands of King Di.

After discussing with Zhao Guang, King Di wanted to follow the example of Youming Jiuchong and let those Nantai spies use handwriting instead of words to confess some information.

However, this plan did not work. The final result was that the poison in all the spies' bodies broke out and no one survived.

King Di and his entourage spent a lot of time trying but gained nothing.

At this moment, on his way back to Beijing, King Di repeatedly recalled the scene on the mountain that day. He felt uneasy and was eager to know what Netherworld Nineth Layer had found out from those spies before he arrived at the attic hideout?

King Di couldn't figure it out, and wanted to discuss it with the eldest son of the Ling family, but considering the absolute status of the Ling family in the Northern Realm, he gave up the idea of ​​discussing it. He didn't want the people of the Northern Realm to get hold of too much key information.

During the two-day journey back to Beijing, Prince Di did not take the initiative to go to Young Master Ling's motorcade, nor did he speak a word to Young Master Ling.

The actions and itinerary of King Di after he left the mountaintop attic were all monitored by the Cold Shadow Guards, who were sending people to deliver the news to the Night King's Palace...

At noon, a subtle sense of oppression permeated the interior of the flower hall of the Night King's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, who is Du Guier? What is your relationship with her?" This was Yun Mujiu's voice with a hint of anger...
