"Big brother, will young master make a mistake like this?" the man asked doubtfully.

The voice from before said: "The person who has accomplished great things does not care about small matters. Young master is a smart person, if you can understand, don't meddle in too many things! Madam specifically asked me to tell you that you have to settle that matter as soon as possible. That person is becoming more and more prestigious, and he poses too much of a threat to us!

"Yes!" "Then the one on the east …"

"Shh …" That's just a piece of trash, there's no need to worry, just hurry up and think of a way to deal with this one. "

"Yes!" "However, that person is extremely cautious and his martial arts are unfathomable. It is really difficult to deal with him …"

"It's not easy, we have to do it. Both sides will suffer, and both sides will prosper. If our family wants to turn the tables, we can only gamble on this!"

"Little brother understands. Now, I can only ask Ju`er to work harder."

"Could it be that that girl has been tempted? It has been so long, but nothing has happened yet!"

"That kid seems to have a crush on her. We haven't had a chance to enter for so many years, but now there's finally been a crack. It's always good. Being a hero is bad for a woman, but being a ghost is also good!"

"Hee hee …"

The duo laughed with ulterior motives. Their voices were suppressed very low, making it hard for Yun Shengyue to understand what they were saying. After a moment of silence, she ignored them. It was most likely a matter of business and nothing to do with her.

When they returned to the courtyard, the girls heaved a sigh of relief. Yun Shengyue was too lazy to explain and thought that Baili Yu might come at any time, so she cleaned herself up and changed into a pink, smoky, brocade dress. She put on her makeup and looked at the bronze mirror.

Lying on the soft ground, he slept for an hour before waking up. Outside the room, the sky had already darkened. A girl came to report that a young lady had come to the inn in the city, saying that she wanted to see the young lady.

His full name was Cui Cui, and when he saw her, the girl could not help but kneel down and kowtow to him in gratitude. When Yun Shengyue saw that her response was extremely clever, she insisted on repaying the favor and stayed by his side to wait upon him.

After waiting for Baili Yu's arrival, he naturally had no appetite for the evening. After eating a few mouthfuls of soup, he returned to his room and drank a few mouthfuls of the maidservant's soup. Then, he threw away the accessories on his head in frustration and sat by the window, lost in thought with his waist-long hair hanging down to his waist.

He didn't know how long he sat there, but even after lying on the bed for a while he was still awake. He got up and opened the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

Just as he was troubled over this, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Little girl, why are you standing in the middle of the courtyard with your hair in a disheveled state …"

Yun Sheng turned his head back in pleasant surprise. Wasn't the smile under the moon the Hundred Miles of Jade that he yearned for? Just as he was about to be happy, his face immediately darkened as he said, "Young Master is busy with matters. Do you remember this servant?"

"What are you saying? Yue Er, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister and not my servant girl."

"Humph!" Yun Sheng turned his back on her and refused to answer her. "What business does Young Master have to barge into my girl's residence in the middle of the night?!"

Baili Yu gently embraced her from behind, "Yue'er is angry at me, right? It's not that I didn't come to see you earlier, but too many things have happened in the past few months. Yue Er, my heart is in a mess.

Sensing that Baili Yu's voice and body was trembling, as though he was suppressing some sort of pain, Yun Shengyue's heart immediately softened. She turned around and gently said, "It's Little Yue'er who is capricious. Little Yue'er knows that Big Brother Yu must have something very important that he is late for. What is it? Was Brother Yu in a difficult situation? "Yue Er is willing to help brother Yu."

The night was like water, and the people on the wall were like jade.

The fragrance of the flowers lingered, and the autumn insects were still whispering among themselves as if no one was around them.

Baili Yu fell silent for a moment before pulling Yun Shengyue to sit on the stone bench beside him. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Yue Er, I can't come to your house to propose for the time being."

"What?" You don't want me anymore? " Thankfully, she did not like maidservants being too close, so she was not allowed to disturb them at night. As such, she did not disturb anyone. That was why she retracted her hand.

Baili Yu hurriedly said, "Yue'er, don't be impatient! "Listen to me …"

"I don't want to hear it! You said you were going to marry me, and you said you came to propose as soon as I came back. Someone else you like? So you didn't come to see me for months and didn't even reply to my letter. If I hadn't shamelessly ran over to find you, you probably wouldn't have come at all, would you? " Yun Shengyue was anxious and angry. Her tears could not help but gush out, as though they were beads that had been cut off.

"No, no!" Baili Yu held onto Sheng Yue's hand once again and said, "It's not that I want to go back on my word. Yue Er, I can swear that you're the only one in my heart. You don't understand, you don't know, I really have no other choice. Don't worry, just give me some more time, I'll definitely bring you back to my side."

Bring her back to him? Yun Shengyue did not notice anything amiss with his words. Hearing him swear, she felt slightly better and asked with a choked voice, "Is it because Madam disagrees? I know she always thought I was low. "

"It's not because of that. Yue'er, don't look down on yourself, it's me. My mother and I both have our own difficulties, my mother was almost killed by someone in the past and suffered a lot, so I can't go too far against her wishes. She is completely counting on me, I don't want to disappoint her."

"What about me? I can be sad and disappointed, right? " Although she felt that it was inappropriate to try to woo her mother, she still couldn't help but ask.

"No!" Baili Yu let out a sigh of embarrassment. His expression was anxious and awkward, but he could not say a word. There were many things he could not say to Yunsheng, nor could he say them. Although he trusted her, it was too secretive.

But how was he going to explain it to her? Ten years, since the first time he had seen her in the snow ten years ago, he could not help but want to take care of her and protect her. For ten years, he had doted on her as if she were a treasure.

Of course, even if she was a daughter, if he wanted to marry her as a concubine, she would probably agree. However, how could he compete for the emperor's offer to have her as an official king and as such, as his main wife?

It wasn't that he couldn't fight, but that he couldn't fight at this crucial moment. His identity with his mother couldn't be revealed yet. They had to wait for the right time, the most appropriate time.

He was the second prince, Murong Ming. Back then, when the mufei was doted on, he was also doted upon greatly by the emperor, who had once expressed his intention to the empress to make him the crown prince, so the empress naturally could not endure this. She repeatedly persecuted the mufei, and in the end, she actually wanted to put both of them to death.

The empress had the backing of a large Duanmu family, and although the emperor didn't like the empress, he had no choice but to fear her. The empress couldn't compete with the empress, and in order to ensure that his life would grow up without any problems, she could only fake her life and leave the palace.

He didn't even dare to return home because the Qian Family only had his uncle as an official, and he was only a third lieutenant. Even though after the 'death' of his mother and son, royal father had specially conferred the title of 'Duke' to his uncle out of respect for his mother's concubine, he didn't have much real power.

The Baili family had received a favor from their grandfather in the past, and as time went on, their business grew bigger and bigger, and they did have a lot of money. However, their status as merchants was always low, and they wanted to repay this kindness.
