The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 396: Investigation, Fear of Military Strength

Ye Xiaohan sat upright in the main seat, with a creepy chill surrounding him.

The man in black bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has just arranged a small group of troops to go outside the capital, and they are heading east."

Ye Xiao said coldly: "Keep watching, and interfere with their attempts to gather information if necessary."

Wei Song thought for a moment and was puzzled: "My Lord, since the Queen knew that we sent two groups of troops out of the city, why did she only send people to chase one of the teams?"

Ye Xiaohan replied: "The Queen has taken an interest in the guards you led out of the city. She is afraid that we will form a new military camp in the suburbs."

The Emperor would not tell the Queen that someone from the Ye Mansion had left the city, but the Queen still had some means and could find out some information, but the final information would be somewhat biased.

Ye Xiaohan concluded that the queen was more afraid of his military strength. The queen's mother's family was powerful and had some military forces, not a lot, but enough to have a certain deterrent effect in the court.

Wei Song thought about it and said to Ye Xiaohan: "I understand!"

He was a general, and he was found to have left the city from the Ye Mansion. The queen was afraid of people with strong military power, so she would definitely think that the Ye Mansion was in charge of the troops, and then she would be anxious to find out the truth of the matter.

Wei Bo continued, "As for me, the Queen has found out that I was looking for mineral veins. The Queen is a careful person and will definitely not expose her whereabouts too much because of mineral veins. So she doesn't care about the real purpose of the team going to Liumu County at all."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan also thought so.

The man in black reported again, "Your Highness, the day before yesterday, when the Queen learned that the Crown Prince had compensated the Princess a sum of money, she did not make any comment. The Crown Prince still stayed in the Crown Prince's Mansion and was not called into the palace by the Queen for questioning. The Emperor also knew about this, but because he heard from the Crown Prince that it was only a small amount of money, he did not make a fuss about it."

"In addition, recently, the maternal clan of Concubine Yu and the maternal clan of the Queen have been secretly fighting, but for now, it is still a small fight and has not caused any disturbance in the court."

"This king knows." Ye Xiaohan waved his hand at the man in black, "You lead your men to continue to monitor the developments in the court."

Wei Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Empress Yu acted cautiously and did not openly fight with the Queen."

Wei Song said dryly: "The Gao family has just been tricked by the Queen, and is currently still quietly 'recovering from their wounds'."

Ye Xiaohan said to Wei Bai, "It's not that Concubine Yu is cautious, it's Ye Chuhe who is careful. Ye Chuhe knows that they can't defeat the Queen at the moment, so they can't use a head-on confrontation."

Concubine Yu had some brains, but she was no match for Ye Chuhe. Ye Chuhe was the one who came up with the most ideas. If the Gao family didn't have Ye Chuhe as their grandson, they wouldn't have reached their current height.

The Gao family and Concubine Yu put all their attention on Ye Chuhe, and Ye Chuhe's illness was their biggest worry.

Wei Bai and Wei Song understood Ye Xiaohan’s meaning and nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiaohan said quietly: "The Queen specially asked Divine Doctor Wu to come to the palace to treat Ye Chuhe. Her intentions are not pure..."

Wei Bo continued, "The Fifth Prince's condition has not improved, and even Divine Doctor Wu is helpless. Perhaps the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Yu are completely disappointed."

Ye Xiaohan's eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "This is probably the Queen's intention. She frustrated others' hopes and made them unable to recover. Then she would take advantage of the opportunity to rise again..."

Wei Song's frown relaxed, "Your Majesty's analysis makes sense."

Ye Xiaohan snapped his fingers, and a dark shadow flashed in.

"What is the princess busy with at this moment?"

Ying San had just returned to the mansion, and when he heard Ye Xiaohan's question, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the princess and Doctor Du went to the Herbal Hall to see patients for an hour. Then the Seventh Prince came, and the princess and the Seventh Prince were discussing matters in the house. However, I was outside the house and could not hear their conversation."

Wei Bai glanced at Ye Xiaohan cautiously, "Your Majesty, the princess should be seeing the Seventh Prince again. I went out with the princess before, and the princess saw the Seventh Prince once and used a set of acupuncture techniques."

Ye Xiaohan said "hmm" lightly. Last night, Yun Mujiu told him that Ye Chufeng might come over this morning for a follow-up visit.

He snapped his fingers, called Yingyi over, and threw out a small notebook.

"Please check again, focusing on the areas near the capital..."

Ying Yi retreated in response, while Wei Song and Wei Bai looked at each other with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Wei Song spoke up and asked, "Your Majesty...what is this?"

In the Herb Hall, Yun Mujiu took off her gloves and finished checking Ye Chufeng's eyes. She had just dripped special eye drops into Ye Chufeng's eyes to dilate his pupils so that she could observe the condition of his eyes.

"Seventh Prince, your eyes will return to normal in a moment."

Yun Mujiu said seriously: "Also, after a comprehensive examination, your current eye condition is not very good. The surgery will have to be postponed." There was a hint of regret in his tone that was not easily noticed by others.

She asked seriously, "Seventh Prince, have you been too busy lately?"

Ye Chufeng raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and Cangfeng answered for him: "Princess, you guessed right, His Highness the Seventh Prince has been very busy recently."

"It is true. Being too tired will not only affect your physical condition, but also cause a series of adverse reactions in your eyes." Yun Mujiu said without asking in detail what Ye Chufeng was busy with. She knew in her heart that Ye Chufeng had his own plans.

She opened the medicine box and took out several bottles of eye drops and several porcelain bottles. Then, she seriously told Ye Chufeng how to use the medicine and the dosage.

Cang Feng thought: Oh! The Seventh Prince was worried. He had been practicing martial arts too hard recently, and his eyes were uncomfortable!

Ye Chufeng knew that he had done something wrong, so he sat obediently and listened to Yun Mujiu's stern words of advice.

Yun Mujiu finished his conversation and said, "Okay, the consultation should be over."

Ye Chufeng suddenly said, "Two days ago in the evening, I met my fifth brother in the palace. He brought eunuchs and guards with him, but no doctor. I guess he went somewhere to do some business. I wonder if it is related to the Ye Mansion."

There was a serious look on his face and a hint of worry in his eyes.

Yun Mujiu thought about it carefully and recalled the carriage she saw in front of the Herb Hall that day. "Yes, there is some connection. But it's not a big problem, you don't have to worry."

Ye Chufeng was relieved to see that Yun Mujiu knew the situation. "It's good that you already know."

He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "This is for the consultation fee and medicine. I can't keep bothering you to treat me for free. I will pay for the surgery later." Now we don't know how much the treatment will cost, we can only wait until the amount is clear before settling it all together.

Yun Mujiu was dumbfounded. Yesterday, Ye Chuhe wanted to give her money, and today, Ye Chufeng wanted to give her money again. The two brothers were really afraid that she would suffer a loss. And the day before yesterday, the prince also "took the initiative" to give her a million taels of silver notes.

Now she has accumulated a lot of money, she is undoubtedly a wealthy woman...
