Late autumn, the yellow leaves were everywhere.

The wind was getting colder with each passing day. It was as if the heart of Yun Sheng had become disordered with each passing month.

Staying in the mansion was really annoying, as Madam Zhou was always trying to persuade her.

A diligent king! He was young and promising. At seventeen, he had personally led the troops to the Southwest for a peaceful and complete victory. As such, he was favored by the Emperor.

His mother had died early and was raised by the crown prince's mother, the empress. When the crown prince was fifteen years old, he contracted an illness and his body was weakened.

The emperor did not have many sons. There were only five princesses, three princes, and the eldest prince, Mu Rong Qing, who had been crowned as the crown prince since the age of fourteen.

At the end of that year, it was said that a palace maid had secretly lit a candle, paper and money in the middle of the night to pay her respects to the bereaved mother. As a result, the paper money had been blown up and the veil of the palace had been ignited, and the palace maid had not cried for help in order to escape her crimes. When everyone found out, it was already too late to rescue the Lian Concubine, who once favored the harem, and the clever and quick-witted Second Prince.

There was something fishy about this matter. Some people had questioned it in the past, and it caused quite a stir in Jincheng. There were quite a few versions of it, but as time went by, it was gradually forgotten by the people.

However, right now, the mother of the diligent king, Murong Yu, was just a palace maid that the emperor had occasionally doted on after drinking too much. However, she had never been doted on by the emperor, and she had died when Murong Yu was 5 years old.

At the age of seventeen, when the people of the Southwest were rebelling, Murong Yu took the initiative to submit. Only then did the Emperor realize that this neglected son of his was actually extraordinary and extraordinary.

Murong Yu, on the other hand, didn't have any intention of giving up. He had never made friends, and kept his distance from all the officials in the imperial court.

However, his political achievements were also seen both in and out of the court. Ever since he helped the emperor to share his worries, he had built up a lot of businesses. Because of this, he was good at drinking beer among the people.

It was unknown where a woman from the Zhou family, who did not leave her house, had obtained the information, but the daily nagging caused Yun Sheng to feel extremely annoyed.

So what if he was diligent? What if he was bad? None of these were things that she was concerned about. She only wanted to know why Baili Yu had not come yet. She only wished to see him day and night.

"Miss, where are you going?" A maidservant ran over to catch up with the dark faced Yun Shengyue as she timidly asked.

Yun Sheng's expression eased up as he looked at the frightened servant girl. "I want to go out and buy something. I'll be back in a while. If Madam asks, just tell her that I'm resting in my room."

"This …"

"Don't worry, if Madam finds out, I will naturally carry it upon my return. I won't make things difficult for you." Although she was unable to get close to the servant girls in the yard, even though she was feeling extremely depressed, Yun Sheng would never use his servants to vent. After all, she had been a servant for ten years.

However, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She had to go out for a walk. Perhaps she should go to the Baili family's store and ask around.
