The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

For the gradually declining Mengguo Mansion, the most correct choice is to protect themselves in the fierce power struggle.

Some things are better not to know.

Because once you know, even if you want to break away, you will be seen as a threat by others, and then you will be forced to join.

For this reason, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan did not clearly inform Meng Guogong and others that Ye Xiaohan's leg had completely healed. They were afraid that Meng Guogong and others would know the important news about Ye Xiaohan, and then they would be targeted or even murdered by the emperor, the prince, and even people from other countries.

However, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu now felt that it was time to inform Duke Meng's Mansion.

First, the time has come. Ye Xiaohan is about to show off in front of the world, so it is reasonable to let the people in Duke Meng's Mansion know his physical condition in advance.

Second, the force majeure of the vortex. Because the power struggle is like a vortex, even if Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu don't want to let Duke Meng's Mansion join in, there will always be an unknown force that will pull everyone in.

The vortex of the trend of the times will eventually bring together Prince Ye's Mansion and Duke Meng's Mansion - two mansions that have a deep connection because of Yun Mujiu.

Third, the changing situation. Originally, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu intentionally avoided the people from Mengguogong Mansion and did not specifically inform them of some power struggle matters, hoping that the people of Mengguogong Mansion's faction could stay out of it.

However, he never expected that the emperor was too suspicious. Even if the people from Duke Meng's faction did nothing, he would still be resentful of these people for the sake of Prince Ye's Mansion, and would occasionally target them when he found an opportunity.

More importantly, Duke Meng and his faction's people took the initiative to want to get close to the Night King.

Recently, they showed their sincerity to the people of the Night King's faction in the court. They were not forced by the situation, but they really wanted to stand under the Regent. If not for themselves, they had to consider their faction, their family, and even the entire Zhongyue Dynasty.

After all, the emperor's methods of doing things in the court were becoming more and more cold and ruthless. For example, the emperor ignored the contributions of the Night King and asked Xu Houshan and others to murder Yun Mujiu and the Night King. Later, the emperor ruthlessly abandoned a group of subordinates including Xu Houshan.

For example, the Lord of Hell in Jianghu strangled spies from other countries for the Zhongyue Dynasty. He did a good thing, but was hated by the emperor. How could this not make people feel cold and seek a new way out for themselves?

Therefore, the subordinates of Duke Meng wanted to follow Zhongyue, the God of War, for the sake of the overall situation. On a personal level, they also wanted to find a glimmer of hope under the protection of Zhongyue, the God of War.

Over the past few months, Ye Xiaohan has already figured out Zhongyue's situation. During the time he was away from the capital, he also kept abreast of the latest developments in the court.

Today, the people of Duke Meng’s Mansion and Duke Meng’s faction all stand firmly on the side of the Night King.

At this moment, Yun Mujiu told Meng Ninglang the whole process of treating Ye Xiaohan.

From then on, Duke Meng's Mansion and Prince Ye's Mansion were truly tied together forever.

Meng Ninglang listened to Yun Mujiu's treatment process for Ye Xiaohan, and even heard Yun Mujiu's detailed account of how he performed the surgery on Ye Xiaohan.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, with a calm and indifferent look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this general..."

"Just call yourself casual." Ye Xiaohan interrupted.

Meng Ninglang nodded, and the admiration for Ye Xiaohan in his eyes became even stronger.

In fact, he had just taken up the position of a military commander in the court in the last few months, so it was most reasonable for him to call himself "minor general" in front of the prince. Now that the prince asked him to be more casual, he would just listen to the prince.

"Your Majesty, when I left the palace, my grandfather repeatedly told me to visit you and the princess before I made it clear to him and his party's position. We at the Mengguo Mansion will always stand by your side."

"Okay." Ye Xiaohan looked at Meng Ninglang and said calmly, "Meng Ninglang, go back and say 'ok' to Duke Meng on my behalf, and tell him that my intentions are known and appreciated by me and Mu Jiu."

Over the past few months, whenever there was a big news in the court or among the people, and it was related to the Night King's Palace, Duke Meng and his faction always tended to support the Night King. Recently, the Night King's faction was suppressing officials from the Emperor's faction in the court, while Duke Meng's faction took the initiative to join the Night King's team, which was enough to show Duke Meng's position.

Then, Ye Xiaohan added to Meng Ninglang's instructions, "I hope Mu Jiu is well, and Mu Jiu's grandfather's family is also well."

This means that he knows Duke Meng's intentions, but he doesn't want Duke Meng to make any mistakes. Duke Meng should focus on protecting himself rather than supporting the Night Palace.

In other words, Prince Ye's Mansion is willing to work with Duke Meng's Mansion, but does not want Duke Meng to take any more risks.

Although Meng Ninglang was young, his mind was quick, and he quickly understood what Ye Xiaohan meant. He nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will also protect the Mengguo Mansion." He understood the good intentions of the prince, the prince was thinking about the Mengguo Mansion, and he would become stronger, and he would also be able to do better for the Mengguo Mansion.

Ye Xiaohan stopped talking without saying anything more. He picked up the teacup and began to sip the tea carefully.

Yun Mujiu knew that Ye Xiaohan was a somewhat cold person, but he had a very good heart.

At this time, among the newlyweds of Ye Wang and his wife, Yun Mujiu acted as the hostess. She unceremoniously invited Meng Ninglang to drink tea and taste cakes, and even invited Meng Ninglang to stay for lunch.

Meng Ninglang declined politely, fearing that staying in the Night King's Mansion for too long would arouse suspicion from outsiders and bring unnecessary trouble to the Night King and Mu Jiu.

Yun Mujiu smiled slightly, and the shrewd Wei Bai took the initiative to chat with Meng Ninglang, saying that this was not a big deal, there were many secret guards lying in ambush near the Night Palace, and the spies of the emperor's men could not keep a close eye on the Night Palace. The guards at the Night Palace could still send Meng Ninglang back quietly.

Yun Mujiu said quickly, "It's a good thing that you're here, so I don't have to go out to look for you. I have some news to tell you."

Meng Ninglang decided to stay in the Night Palace for a while longer, after all, Yun Mujiu had something to say.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I came here for another purpose. But my grandfather and parents don't know about it. That's what you asked me to find out a few days ago. Now I have found some clues."

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wei Bai and Du Ziheng also pricked up their ears.

Yun Mujiu blurted out: "What's the matter with the Queen Mother and my grandparents?"
