"Senior Dong, what's the current situation between Yu'er and Ying Lan?" The woman who was lying on the soft bed narrowed her eyes and asked.

The short and fat Senior Servant Dong lightly tapped her leg as she replied, "From what that girl Qiuyun said, the little mistress has been working outside all day. She came back late and still stayed in the study."

The noblewoman frowned, "What is this child thinking? Didn't he say he figured it out when he came back to escort the bride?"

"That's right, young mistress has put quite a lot of effort into returning to the capital. However, if the young mistress were to continue waiting for General Wei to find out …"

"You must be on guard against all of this. That girl looks like she's dead set on this, but she can't guarantee that she'll write a letter to complain about it." Countess Qian, the former Imperial Concubine Lian, said coldly.

Senior Servant Dong said with a fake smile, "There's absolutely no way wild pigeons can fly out of our house, don't worry!"

"Mm, tell someone to find Yu'er. I'll have to persuade him first."

"Yes, this servant will send someone to find Young Master now."

Senior Servant Dong was about to leave when a maidservant came in from outside. She said that the young madam had come to pay her respects, so she sat up and waved for Wei Yinglan to come in.

With a gentle step, a girl wearing a yellow dress slowly walked in. She was very pretty with a pair of big black eyes, and her eyebrows were slightly thick. As a result, her heroic spirit was completely gone.

Unfortunately, she fell in love with Baili Yu, whose heart belonged to her. She was a bit confused, and did not understand why the gentle man she met in the East Lake of Jincheng, whose face was full of smiles when proposing marriage, had become so cold that he did not even go back to his room on the night of the bridal chamber. She felt wronged in her heart, but she was thousands of miles away from her parents, and could only endure her suffering.

"Lan, mother said that you don't need to use all these formalities in the future. Come, come and sit." Seeing Wei Yinglan respectfully bow in greeting, Mrs. Qian said with a smile on her face, her tone was very intimate.

Wei Yinglan thanked him and sat down, wanting to say something, but she hesitated. Why should she ask her mother-in-law? Why didn't her husband go back to his room?

Lady Qian smiled and took the initiative. "Earlier, Senior Servant Dong and I were talking about Yu'er. Yu'er has been busy lately and has been meeting very late every day. Lan'er, you can't blame him, right?" He also has some difficulties, you will understand it in the future. "

"Inlan understands." If it were her in the past, she would have rushed to Baili Yu to ask him about the marriage, but since she was the one who chose it, she was originally full of expectations. But now, she was actually very worried, and was even a little afraid, afraid to know the reason.

Although Mrs. Qian tried her best to put on an enthusiastic front, the two of them didn't have much to talk about, so after a few casual words with Wei Yinglan, they left.

Seeing that she had left, the smile on her face immediately disappeared as she instructed with a gloomy expression, "Immediately invite Prime Minister Yun over."

There was a house at the foot of South Wind Mountain. It wasn't too big or luxurious, but it was also a place with red walls and green tiles. However, the sound of coughing could be heard from inside the house, indicating that someone was very sick.

"Madam, madam, why don't this servant go out and find a doctor?" The one who had an anxious expression was Rulan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The person who was lying on the bed was Yunsheng's mother, Zhou. Although the environment in Jiangnan was cozy and comfortable, she looked even more haggard than before. There was no longer any flesh on her face, and her eyes were dim.

"No need …" Master will arrange it. " Madame Zhou muttered.

On the way from Jincheng to Jiangnan, Prime Minister Yun was still able to take care of everything, but ever since they arrived at Jiangnan and moved into this courtyard, it was difficult to see him. Although the scenery at the foot of the mountain was beautiful, it was also sparsely populated. She was not familiar with the surroundings, so she asked the other servants in the mansion where there was a doctor, but they all shook their heads and did their jobs, not caring about anything else.

Seeing Madame Zhou growing weaker with each passing day, Ruo Lan was extremely worried. The wangfei had entrusted her with the task of taking care of her wife, but now she couldn't think of any other way. She could only secretly feel anxious and suspicious …

"Bang!" A vase shattered and the water and flowers scattered all over the floor.

"What a good plan, you killed my Huang'er, but there was no response at all." At that time, the prince had already become suspicious and angry. Originally, they had been waiting to watch a good show, but in the end, they had no effect at all. She had sent people to find out that the woman was still happily planting flowers and vegetables in her courtyard.

However, Miss need not be angry, it is just a cat. Although he has not had his attack yet, and could not find any clues, who would have thought that with so many dark guards in the side courtyard, our people would not dare to risk leaving a trail, but, they definitely will not be able to find any trace of us. This is a suspense case, the person in the side courtyard is always a suspect, so it's fine if Prince does not believe it now, but let's just let the people in the house believe it first. "

"Then you have to be careful, don't mess things up again." Chen Jue`er said coldly.

"This old woman understands. Miss, you should also think of a way to take action. Mister's urging is quite urgent."

"I know." After Chen Jue`er replied impatiently, after pondering for a while, he asked Red Willow, who had been standing quietly by his side, "Is the stew ready?"

"It's about time. It'll be done in a quarter of an hour." This servant has asked around and found out that the prince won't leave the mansion in the afternoon. " Red Willow replied very cleverly.

"Yes." Chen Jue-er then asked, "When will Mister arrive in Jincheng? Is there any definite information? "

"It should be soon. I estimate that it will arrive in less than half a month. This old body thinks that Miss will be very happy if she can produce some results." The nanny reminded him again from the side.

Chen Jue`er shot her a cold glance and said, "I know how to handle my matters. Don't you have to constantly remind me that your people haven't found the girl's weakness?"

"The scout hasn't come back yet. Don't worry, as long as he comes back, he will definitely have the news that you want." The mama narrowed her eyes, looking extremely confident. The spies under Mister Ye were no ordinary mediocre people.

Chen Jue'er lightly snorted and stopped speaking. In her heart, she still felt some heartache towards that cat. Although it was just an ordinary cat, she had raised it for nearly two years. She would not let it die in vain.

"Miss, the crown prince is here again." Cui'er suddenly rushed into the house and shouted at Yunsheng.

Yun Sheng was leaning against the window as he read his book. Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly but his expression remained calm as he walked out. The crown prince, Mu Rong Qing, was wearing white clothes as he stood by her garden.

This kind of picture of a beautiful man was extremely pleasing to the eyes, but why was he always coming to the prince's mansion to see her? This was the third time it had happened within half a month. Every time she came, she would sit down and chat about poems. Later on, when she saw Yun Shengyue interested in planting flowers and vegetables, he would even send her quite a number of rare seeds.

When he heard about the tragic death of Yellow Cat, he did not even walk around the mansion anymore. This was because the butler and the hidden guards had yet to find out who killed the cat, but news had spread around that the cat had injured Consort Wangfei. It implied that the cat's death was most likely related to this matter, and that most people did not know anything about Yun Sheng Yue, who had always been living in the side courtyard.

Cui'er was once again being pushed aside. She was much more depressed than Yunsheng, so the crown prince was very happy for her before. Being able to see a beautiful man like the crown prince at such a close distance was the best benefit he could get from being with the young mistress.

"Yue Er, the Wind Kite Festival is about to arrive. There is a grand event in the southern part of the city. Do you want to participate?" The Crown Prince smiled. Although his words were a question, his tone was firm.

Yun Shengyue squatted down and fiddled with a small vegetable that had just sprouted two tender leaves. She said, "Shengyue, you might as well not join in on the fun. Is Imperial Brother feeling better?"

What's so good or bad about it? In any case, it's like this, a life or death situation. That Wind Kite Festival, I, your brother, went to see it twice with Little Yu when I was young. It was quite fun. Mu Rong Qing's tone suddenly turned indifferent again.

Logic told her that she should stay away from the crown prince. Being on good terms with the crown prince would bring her bad news, but when she looked at the sickly Mu Rong Qing's depressed expression, she found it difficult to reject him.

"Yue Er, I heard that you grew up in Jiangnan?" Mu Rong Qing walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Yun Shengyue followed him and sat opposite him and replied, "Yes, Shengyue has lived in Jiangnan for ten years."

"Is it true that the south of the river is beautiful and the seasons warm as spring?" Mu Rong Qing's tone seemed to be filled with longing as he smiled, as if he was used to it.

It's just that it's not as cold as Jincheng in the winter, and the time is also a little short. The Wind City that we lived in before Sheng Yue is rather lively and bustling, and there are mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers outside the city. When Jiang-Nan city was mentioned, Yun Shengyue was in a good mood as well.

When she mentioned the city, the smile on her face was so genuine and so fresh. There was a beauty that he could not touch, and he knew that he was also beautiful. Many palace maids looked at him in a daze, but he did not like the reflection of himself in the mirror.

He was born and bred in the palace, and there were very few people who left the palace. The Queen Mother watched over him, and the palace was his cage. No one had ever asked him what he really liked.

"Just go to Jiangnan to take a look when you can. Yue Er, you can be a guide." Mu Rong Qing said with a smile.

"Hur hur, that's good. "There are many delicious dishes in Jiang-Nan and they are all very meticulous. There are different dishes here in Jincheng City, especially the small food street on the east side street of Wind City …" Just as Yun Sheng was beaming with joy, she suddenly saw Murong Yu, whom she had not seen for a long time, walk into the small courtyard. She immediately stopped and stood up.

"Greetings, royal brother." Mu Rong Yu paid his respects to Mu Rong Qing first.

Mu Rong Qing's smile became even more radiant. "I heard from the butler that Little Yu is very busy, so I didn't disturb him. I came over to chat with my sister-in-law. Little Yu wouldn't mind, would he?"

"How could that be? It's just that this girl doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. If she says something wrong, then Royal Brother shouldn't mind her." Murong Yu's gaze swept across Sheng Yue's face. His expression was calm, while Yun Shengyue silently cursed in her heart. How could she not know the immensity of the heavens and the earth?

"Brother has just chatted about the local customs and traditions of Jiangnan with my sister-in-law. I really want to go and take a look." Mu Rong Qing said calmly while looking at Murong Yu.

However, Murong Yu said, "How can that make it possible? Don't mention that Imperial Father and Mother wouldn't agree. Right now, Imperial Brother's health isn't very good either. It's not suitable for us to travel so far."

"That's what you said." Mu Rong Qing sighed slightly.

"Indeed, the journey is a bit far. It won't be too late for royal brother to rest up before making his plans." Yun Shengyue continued and spoke in a comforting manner.

Mu Rong Qing looked up at the sky before retracting his gaze and asked Mu Rong Yu meaningfully, "Little Yu, do you think I can recover from this illness?"

"Of course it's good. Chendi can help Imperial Brother find some doctors among the commoners, and those imperial physicians in the palace can't explain it either. It's not like we can't drag it out like this." Murong Yu suggested.

Thinking of the conversation in the imperial garden, he could only lower his eyes.

"Thank you, Little Yu. I've been out for a long time. It's time to go back." Mu Rong Qing stood up and started coughing violently after he finished speaking. The eunuch behind him hurriedly passed a snow-white handkerchief to him. When he withdrew it, it was stained with blood.

Murong Yu was greatly shocked. He came over to take a careful look and said anxiously, "Why is royal brother still vomiting blood? What … What kind of illness is this?"

Yun Shengyue also looked over with concern. However, Mu Rong Qing waved her hand and said, "It's fine. You don't have to worry. I'm leaving, there's no need to send me off." He then pushed aside the hand of the eunuch who had come to support him and left.

Murong Yu followed her and stopped after a few steps. His expression was extremely complicated. Yun Shengyue looked at him carefully, but she could not find any reason to do so.
