The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1266: Resolving Internal Troubles and Overcoming External Troubles

Some ministers at the scene sensed a subtle tension, and cold sweats streamed down their cheeks. This morning, without the Seventh Prince present to mediate between the Night King and the Emperor as he had done last time, some of the bolder ministers could only wipe their sweat and begin smoothing things over, offering compliments to the Night King and the Emperor for their concern for the people.

As the emperor's loyal lackey, Yun Xiang was the one who shouted the loudest among the people below, acting as if he admired the emperor very much.

The Right Prime Minister, who were in the neutral faction, had a meaningful look on their faces. Speaking of which, when it came to caring for the people and the country, Ye was far more outstanding than the Emperor.

The Night King is not one to show off or publicize. Although he is cold and ruthless, he is always conscientious and responsible in his work. In terms of preventing and dealing with drought, the Night King's outstanding performance is far superior to that of the Emperor.

You know, in many areas of severe drought, the emperor's officials were inaction, and many disasters were almost caused. If the Night King hadn't prepared his subordinates in advance, I'm afraid many drought-stricken areas in Zhongyue would have caused unrest by now.

If Zhongyue is in turmoil and war is about to break out in the east and west borders, have the people of Zhongyue had enough of living?

Many civil and military officials were now deeply aware of the Night King's outstanding contributions to stabilizing the government and the country. When they thought of the Emperor's indifference to the lives of some of his subjects, their hearts sank, and in the blink of an eye, their admiration and respect for the Night King surged to an unprecedented level.

The Crown Prince and Prince Di stood aside, silent and even a little embarrassed. After all, they had nothing to offer, and couldn't even think of any useful suggestions.

After Ye Xiaohan finished presenting the plan in front of everyone, he quietly returned to his seat.

At the emperor's command, the ministers continued to discuss other daily affairs, but no matter how many times they mentioned it, they could not seem to evoke the solemn and sacred atmosphere of the Night King's meetings.

The morning court session ended so hastily.

When Ye Xiaohan left, many civil and military officials followed him and looked up at him. Of course, they knew their limits and did not dare to approach the Night King. They could only look at the heroic demeanor of His Majesty the Night King from afar.

Ye Xiaohan returned to the study and said these words quietly to his trusted group of people including Wei Bai, Wei Song and Du Ziheng.

"With all the preparations in place, Zhongyue will no longer face serious crises and riots due to drought."

This way, Zhongyue wouldn't be faced with internal and external troubles all at once, and he could safely prepare for the battlefield...

Focus on external...

The subordinates' expressions froze, becoming increasingly serious. Compared to internal turmoil, external turmoil was the most difficult disaster to deal with. Both they and the prince had to pay great attention to it.

A personal guard came in to report, "Your Highness, last night the Fifth and Seventh Princes' secret guards intercepted a group of people attempting to invade Qingxuan Palace."

Ye Xiaohan didn't look surprised at all, and simply instructed: "Continue to keep an eye on the Qingxuan Palace."

Now that Ye Chuhe had been treated by Yun Mujiu, many people in the dark were naturally eyeing Ye Chuhe covetously, eager to destroy him at any opportunity. He and Yun Mujiu had only been out of the palace for a few days when someone immediately wanted to attack the people in Qingxuan Palace.

Du Ziheng complained: "These people are too bold."

Ye Xiaohan said quietly as two people came out: "Queen, Concubine Liang."

Concubine Liang and Concubine Yu were rivals, and their son was also a rival, not to mention that they had discovered that Concubine Liang might have been involved in the murder of Concubine Yu, who was pregnant at the time. Now that Concubine Liang saw that Ye Chuhe was about to recover and might discover the truth about the murder of them, how could she possibly sit still?

Du Ziheng and others understood why Concubine Liang was anxious to take action, but some guards still didn't understand why the Queen would attack Ye Chuhe. After all, she was the mother of a country. Why would she be so anxious and fearful for a prince who might recover?

Ye Xiaohan glanced at his subordinates and said, "Have you forgotten the white marrow poison that the Fifth Prince was infected with?"

Everyone suddenly realized and immediately thought of the key.

The Queen holds a high position of power and influence, and is secretly connected to Nantai. The white marrow poison in the Fifth Prince's body originated from Nantai. Who would believe that the Fifth Prince had been poisoned for years and it had nothing to do with the Queen, and that the Queen knew nothing about the Fifth Prince's detailed physical condition?

To put it bluntly, the Queen was related to the poison in the Fifth Prince's body, and she also knew many secret events and physical details about the Fifth Prince.

Du Ziheng and his companions could now understand why the Queen acted so hastily.

Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything more, but just continued to have people keep an eye on the situation in the palace.

Afterwards, he gathered a group of subordinates to prepare for the Yuexi Palace Banquet.

For example, he was preparing to let Prince Nan Taisen, who had been imprisoned for a long time, make a good appearance.

For another example, he wanted to further investigate the unknown dark force from Beihan at the Yuexi Palace Banquet.

Furthermore, he also planned to reveal more highlights related to the Nine Realms of the Netherworld to enlighten everyone and warn those who were ready to make uneasy moves.

...

Ye Xiaohan learned about the movements in the palace, and Yun Mujiu soon found out.

Yun Mujiu sighed, "My surgery actually made two people in the harem who have always been very low-key unable to sit still. First, Concubine Liang, and now the Queen..."

Fusang joked directly: "The princess held the scalpel in both hands, and with the prince's assistance, she quickly forced the important person out."

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, then closed the medical book in her hand and walked back to the bookshelf. The Xingyue Continent had many new areas of knowledge about poisons and venom, and she had much more to learn and delve into in the future.

Come on! Yun Mujiu!

A young woman full of fighting spirit.

...

A continuous summer rain fell in the afternoon, bringing a chill. The rain continued to fall, and the number of pedestrians on the street decreased significantly.

On the corridor where the lights were swaying, a man in a plain long gown stood in front of the white jade railing.

He held a rolled-up piece of paper in one hand and looked down from the railing.

Once again, the Soul-Taker Yuanxi's people received a letter from an unknown person.

Just like the last time, the letter was not signed with a name, but with a simple sentence written on the letter paper, indicating the content of the message the writer wanted to convey.

The man lowered his head and took another look at the paper. It said:

"Pavilion Master Qian, let's meet again in a few days. I will bring my wife with me."

Pavilion Master Qian was puzzled at this moment: Who on earth had written this letter? Not only had they tracked him down, but they were so arrogant and wanting to meet him! Who had the guts to do that?

You have to know that the leader of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi may not take the princes of the Eastern Empire's royal family seriously even if he faces them.

At this moment, Pavilion Master Qian had an outrageous guess. Could it be Nether Nine? Nether Nine had originally planned to talk to Soul Taker about the matter of the young master of the Eastern Empire.

But I haven't heard any rumors that Youming Jiuchong has a wife?

Suddenly, Pavilion Master Qian wondered if it was the Night King. But the Night King wouldn't know about him, the Pavilion Master, right? Besides, he hadn't had much contact with the Night King, Yun Mujiu. Why would the Night King, who was perfectly normal, want to meet him? And why would he bring a woman like Yun Mujiu along for a discussion?

What Pavilion Master Qian didn't know at this moment was that the Night King really wanted to bring Yun Mujiu to meet him, but he just didn't want to tell him too clearly in advance...
