"Jintang, do you know the Regent?"

The Empress Dowager looked puzzled, clearly perplexed by Ye Jintang's actions.

"We've met a few times. It was His Highness the Regent who intervened in the woods and dealt with those bandits."

Ye Jintang's words actually cleared up some of the Empress Dowager's doubts.

You have to understand that the robbers you faced in that forest were clearly different from normal people; they could even be described as monsters.

Among the people she brought were many highly skilled guards, and even these people were unable to handle the situation.

Not to mention Ye Jintang alone.

However, it was a fact that Ye Jintang had saved her, and coupled with Ye Jintang's dedication over the past few days, the Empress Dowager believed that Ye Jintang had no ulterior motives.

There were some things she couldn't ask too many questions about, and she would wait until she returned to the palace to let the emperor investigate the matter.

Now that Ye Jintang said that the Regent also deserved credit for saving him, his previous doubts could be explained.

"Halt! The Regent's Palace is off-limits!"

When Ye Jintang was about to take the Empress Dowager there, he was stopped by the guards.

Ye Jintang did not intend to take out the token that Ye Ling had given her at this moment, but instead moved it to the side.

"This is the Empress Dowager. Please inform Your Highness."

Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words and seeing the old lady standing beside her, the guard was startled and immediately bowed respectfully in the direction of the Empress Dowager.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."

Seeing that one guard remained there while the other went in to report, Ye Jintang figured that Ye Ling would soon learn of the Empress Dowager's news.

With him escorting the Empress Dowager back to the palace, it was undoubtedly the safest option.

The Empress Dowager nodded and softly agreed.

Ye Jintang left with Lühe only after the Empress Dowager entered the Regent's Palace.

“Miss, I don’t understand why you, as the Empress Dowager’s savior, did not escort her back to the palace directly, but instead sent the girl to the Regent’s Palace.”

Ye Jintang curled her lips, "In that case, wouldn't that person also share in this favor?"

Moreover, the matter of the evil aura is unusual, and her appearance in that forest is too strange. When the emperor investigates later, he will be able to find out the clues.

But it would be a different story if Ye Ling were in front of them.

Judging from the Empress Dowager's expression at the time, she clearly realized that her escape from danger was not due to her own actions, but rather to Ye Ling's intervention.

Green Lotus only vaguely understood what Ye Jintang was saying.

The Regent's Palace.

When Ye Ling learned that the Empress Dowager had arrived at the residence, she was surprised, but upon hearing that it was related to Ye Jintang, she instantly understood her intention.

He then ordered his men to escort the Empress Dowager into the palace.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has safely returned to the palace."

Ye Ling gave a soft "hmm". "Go to the clinic and tell Ye Jintang about this as well."

Hearing this, Leng Yi was somewhat surprised, as he only knew that the person who sent the Empress Dowager to the Prince's Mansion was a woman.

Upon hearing his master's words, Leng Yi was shocked. Could it be that the woman was Miss Ye?

"Your Highness, since Miss Ye saved the Empress Dowager, why was she sent here?" Leng Yi asked, puzzled.

“She is very clever. Knowing that there are some things that are inconvenient for her to do in person, she thought of me.”

Leng Yi was even more incredulous, "Your Highness, does Miss Ye's behavior count as...?"

Before Leng Yi could finish speaking, Ye Ling's icy gaze fell upon her, and Leng Yi quickly lowered her head, not daring to utter another word.

"Get your business done."

Ye Ling's cold voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, except when she was facing Ye Jintang.

This can hardly be called exploitation; it's clearly helping.

Resurrection Hall.

Ye Jintang nodded slightly after learning this news.

"Leng Yi, please deliver this to your Highness on my behalf."

Ye Jintang handed a small medicine bottle and several bags of fruit to Leng Yi.

After Leng Yi reached out and took the medicine, Ye Jintang said, "Tell your prince that taking one pill from the medicine bottle every day will help with his current condition."

Since Leng Yi is here, it saves her the trouble of making a trip to the Prince's Mansion herself.

"yes."

The Marquis's Residence.

Ever since the incident with the Taoist priest, Jiang Mubai has heard people say that he is morally flawed every day when he goes to court.

Even strange insects would often appear from some corner, which annoyed him greatly.

No matter how many people he sent to investigate the origin of these insects, he couldn't find any reason for them.

With his mother still in a coma, all these things combined were enough to make Jiang Mubai restless and agitated.

"Lord...Lord, something terrible has happened."

Hearing the butler shout like that, Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat. He never heard anything good before.

He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily at the butler who came in to report, "Explain yourself! What exactly happened?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the old lady's younger sister, Madam Wang, has arrived."

"Find some other excuse and get rid of them quickly."

He was already troubled enough by what was happening, so he had no energy left to care about others.

"But..." The butler wanted to say something more, but Jiang Mubai was no longer in the mood to listen.

He slammed the things on the table at the butler, almost roaring, "What? Didn't you understand what I said?"

"I...I wouldn't dare."

"I will go and refuse that Madam Wang right away."

Faced with Jiang Mubai's anger, the butler dared not say anything more and almost ran away.

Little did Su Xuerou know that she was passing by the mansion gate with her maid when she heard a commotion outside.

"You people are so ungrateful! I am your old lady's sister, how dare you even stop me! Get out of here right now!"

"What happened over there?" Su Xuerou asked, frowning as she looked in that direction.

The maid looked in the direction Su Xuerou pointed and said, "Miss Su, please wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

During the time Ye Jintang was away from the Marquis's residence, the maids, seeing Jiang Mubai's attitude towards Su Xuerou, dared not neglect her even more.

Although she called him "Miss," she was actually behaving like a mistress towards her master.

This is why Su Xuerou became exceptionally unrestrained in her behavior.

The only shortcoming was that Ye Jintang hadn't been completely expelled from the Marquis's mansion. Thinking of that clinic and the things Ye Jintang had said, Su Xuerou gritted her teeth in anger.

She was determined to get revenge on Ye Jintang for all of this in the future.

Just as Su Xuerou was feeling angry about this, the maid returned.

"How did things go?" Su Xuerou asked.

"In reply to Miss Su, I just inquired with the guards at the gate and learned that the one who spoke just now was the old lady's sister. Perhaps it was because of Young Master Wang's matter that the old lady sought help from the Marquis."

"And who is Young Master Wang?"

Su Xuerou was even more puzzled by this and asked the maid again.

"It's Wang Bao, the son of Old Madam Wang. Some time ago, when the Zuixianju restaurant had an incident, this young master Wang was also arrested by the Dali Temple."
