"Miss, it's getting late. Go to sleep!" Cui Er, who was sitting at the table, used both of her hands to support her tired little head as she weakly advised.

Ever since Yun Sheng saw the unknown dish, he began pacing around the room in anger. He had also peeked at the entrance of the courtyard during that time and had guards watch over him, preventing him from leaving.

"How can I sleep? It's only the first day, yet you've already sent such a rotten thing over. How will you live in the future? " When had Yun Shengyue ever received such treatment? In the past, even if she was a maidservant, her food was better than those from well-off families. Her current requirements weren't high, as long as three meals a day was normal, she shouldn't bully Cui Er who was making things difficult for her. Was this really that difficult?

"I want to talk to Murong Yu!" Yun Sheng repeated himself several times but did not move. Cui'er rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"Miss, didn't you say to wait until the prince has calmed down before saying anything else?" After hearing so much, Cui'er could only muster her strength to reply.

Yun Sheng was even more infuriated. "I do want to, but that woman is too outrageous. She can even take away our food, but who knows how many times she's bragging in front of Murong Yu. What's with the prince's head!"

"Speaking of food, Cui'er is really going to sleep, otherwise she'll get even hungrier." With that, Cui'er climbed into her bed.

Yun Sheng rubbed his stomach and felt a little hungry. With a thought, he said, "Cui'er, wait for me. I'll go get something to eat."

"Food? Where can I get food? " Hearing "food", Cui'er immediately sat up.

Yun Shengyue quickly ran into her room and came out a moment later to change into a black outfit. Cui'er stared at her in shock and said, "Little, Miss, you want to be a thief?"

"What thief!" "It's so unpleasant, I'm just going to the kitchen to find something to eat, that's all. You go to sleep first, I'll wake you up when there's something delicious to eat later." Yun Sheng gave Cui'er a popcorn and used a black cloth to cover his face.

"Miss, is there any danger?" Cui'er asked worriedly.

Yun Sheng said in a disapproving manner, "It's not like I'm going out. There's no danger in the manor. It's nothing much to have something to eat." After all, she had learned how to steal food from Baili Yu when she was young, and had not expected that things would turn out this way now. In the past, she had been protected by her young master, so she wasn't afraid of being caught, but now she had to be more careful.

There was a crescent moon in the sky, so they had to be extra careful. Murong Yu and the rest of the mansion probably didn't know that she knew martial arts, so there were a few guards patrolling at the back who didn't have any stops. With the help of the banyan tree by the wall, Yun Sheng Yue was able to walk out easily.

She kicked her legs and discovered that she was quite agile. She thought that if Murong Yu was still holding her, she could only sneak out like this. The kitchen was in the southwest. Yunsheng carefully moved forward along a remote path. After all, it was her first time. She was extremely careful and did not care about her speed.

There was a light in the room, so he peeked through the window to take a peek. There was a little girl in the kitchen who had fallen asleep on a small table beside the stove. The big steamer on the stove was still emitting a faint steam.

Yun Sheng tossed a pebble into the cage but the girl had no reaction. It was obvious that she was extremely sleepy. Touching her mask to cover her face, she walked in boldly and gently opened the bamboo steamer to take a look. There were steamed chicken, steamed dumplings, and four colored pastries, as if they were prepared for someone's midnight snack.

She then noticed that there was probably porridge or stew on the small stove, so it was impossible to bring away. Forget it, there was some food, but it was still very hot.

The crescent moon was hazy and the shadows of the trees were swaying.

Previously, she had taken a detour, but was somewhat more familiar with it now. However, she did not lose herself in pride. Without a tree to hide her figure, she easily made her way through the garden's flower garden.

After circling around three incense sticks and a row of everlasting youth, he suddenly heard a voice. Yun Sheng Yue immediately lowered her body. Listening to the voice sounded somewhat familiar, so she held her breath and quietly took a few steps forward.

"What is he going to do with this map?" It was Chen Jue-er's voice. Although he had deliberately suppressed it, one could still hear how displeased he was.

"Sir has his own use, this old servant doesn't know." The voice of an old woman was calm and without any ripples.

"Forget it, take it. Isn't he in the manor? Why is he still telling you to lure me here?"

After mister entered the mansion, you realized that Miss' s Immortal Cloud Restaurant uses some stupid people and has done a lot of stupid things, so you asked this old servant to lead you out and tell you that I hope Miss can do it yourself, pay more attention to your words and actions and don't have to interact with him.

"He …" Chen Jue`er seemed to be somewhat stifled.

"Sir, it is for the Miss's own good. The Duke of Qin is not a foolish person, and since you have obtained the formation diagram, you can listen to sir's instructions and not interfere in these trivial matters. You can just be at ease and be your wife." Although the old woman's tone was cold, she did have the intention of persuading Qin Wentian out of good intentions.

"Alright, I understand. Since it has nothing to do with me, then don't come and bother me in the future." After Chen Jue`er finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and left.

The short and fat old woman seemed to shake her head before she turned to head westward. Curious and feeling that the formation diagram they mentioned was something important, she followed her into the peach forest. When she reached the peach forest, Yun Shengyue noticed that no one was around to stop the woman.

Indeed, as she had expected, the woman had done something shameful. Therefore, she did not make a sound and only counterattacked. However, her means of attack were incompetent. In a few moves, the blueprint in her lapel was in Yun Shengyue's hands. Yun Sheng gave a triumphant smile. Just as he was about to use his Qing Gong to run away, Yellow Bird suddenly appeared behind him. A gray-clothed person blocked her path.

"He stole it …" The woman said nervously.

The grey robed man said coldly: "Hand it over!"

"If you want to hand it over, so be it?" Although she was often mocked by Baili Yu, her martial arts were actually not considered bad. This was because she had known since she was young that only martial arts could protect herself and prevent people from bullying her. Therefore, she had never slacked off.

With a flash, he took the initiative to charge forward. With a shock, Yun Shengyue hurriedly dodged. She knew that she was no match for this person the moment he attacked, but she was also not someone who could easily admit defeat. With her agile body, that person would not be able to take her down in a short period of time.

The Royal Mansion was after all, the King's Manor. Although the two of them had lowered their voices in this remote area, the fight had still alerted the guards inside the mansion.

"Assassins!" Someone shouted in the distance.

Hearing his shout, the grey-clothed man seemed to become nervous as he hurriedly said, "Quickly hand it over, I can let you go!"

Yun Shengyue firmly believed that this formation was very important and refused to give up no matter what. In any case, she was not afraid of being found out by the manor. As a result, she was even more spirited and focused on facing the enemy.

Seeing that the guards were getting closer and closer and gathering more and more, the gray-clothed person suddenly shot out a concealed weapon. Seeing that the guards were getting closer and closer and more converging more and more, the gray-clothed person suddenly shot out a concealed weapon.

"Everyone be careful, this assassin has a hidden weapon that can be used to feed poison." The guards moved closer, and the grey-clothed man suddenly took a few steps back and shouted loudly.

A head guard approached with a torch in his hand. Carefully glancing at Yun Shengyue, he asked the gray-robed man, "Mister Hong, what's going on?"

"Everyone, be careful. This person's hidden weapons are highly toxic. Prepare your bows!"

It was clear that she would not give her the chance to speak. With her skills, she was simply not a match for the dozen or so guards in front of her. This person had evil intentions, he was afraid that she would speak the truth before she died, so how could there be such a person in the mansion?

Seeing that the guards had listened to his suggestions to prepare the bows and arrows, Yun Shengyue was secretly anxious. Why wasn't Murong Yu here? She had to reveal her identity, but she did not have the least bit of prestige in the palace. If she showed her true face, the guards might not have tried to kill her, but it was hard to say if this Hong fellow would do something underhanded.

However, it was impossible for her to not reveal her identity. She could not let herself die just like that. The two parties fell into a stalemate for a moment. Seeing that the archers were about to arrive, Yun Shengyue gritted her teeth and pulled down her handkerchief and shouted loudly, "With this wangfei here, who dares be disrespectful!"

"Princess?" Black Seven took a step forward in shock. With a single glance, he realized it was indeed Yun Sheng Yue. Yun Sheng had only displayed his prowess today and a few guards recognized her as well. They all relaxed their guard.

As long as he killed her, he would take the opportunity to retrieve the map. He never expected that it would actually be the Royal Consort, as he did not know much about the dispute between Yun Shengyue and Murong Yu. However, if he were to confront Murong Yu, Murong Yu would definitely trust her more, given her identity.

Just as Hong Wentao was about to give in, a black-clothed person suddenly flashed and took away Yun Shengyue. This person's qinggong was very powerful, and even though the archer had arrived, Black Seven did not dare issue an order to shoot due to Yun Shengyue's status.

Hong Wentao also followed along. That person must have come prepared. The few of them only hesitated for a moment before leaving the manor and disappearing without a trace. Black Seven's expression was solemn. He could only order the others to continue their search. When it came to the matter of the wangfei, he had to report it to the prince as soon as possible.

As a witness, Hong Wentao was naturally together with her. He could not catch up to Yun Shengyue and immediately calmed down. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he quickly came up with an excuse.

"What?" Murong Yu was extremely shocked when he heard this. He slapped the table and stood up. He never thought that such a bizarre thing would happen in the manor.

"I have always slept at night, and when I saw the moon, I wanted to walk in the peach forest, and coincidentally saw an old lady hand over a map to the black clothed man, and when I heard the array diagram, I felt that it was a very important matter, so I made my move, but I did not expect that person to be so extraordinary, and not to be able to defeat me. Fortunately, the guard noticed it, and did not expect that person to kill the woman with a concealed weapon, and after the Black Commander arrived, he did not expect …" "Who would've thought that the man in black would suddenly pull down a handkerchief and claim to be the consort …" Hong Wentao spoke with a terrified tone.

"Black Seven!" Mu Rong Yu glared furiously at Black Seven for confirmation.

"It is indeed an imperial concubine. This subordinate was unsure of what to do when a black clothed man suddenly left the mansion with the imperial concubine. That person's qinggong was superb. This subordinate lost him after chasing him out of the mansion."

"How preposterous! How dare you! " This time, Murong Yu was truly a little mad. It didn't matter how much trouble Yunsheng had caused in the manor, how could he steal the formation diagram? When did this happen? Was it directed by Yun Chengling? "How many spies are there in the manor?" Get me Cui Er right now! "

His inner heart felt like it was boiling, and it made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Only then did he know that she was the person who had helped him that night in the broken temple, and this incident immediately happened again. It was already a mystery that she appeared in the broken temple outside the city that night, so how much more did he not know about her? What was she trying to do?

"No one is allowed to divulge this information. Black One, Black Two, bring out your elites. Even if you have to dig three feet out of the ground, you have to dig her out for This King!" Murong Yu said bitterly. Was he too focused on the border battles? If he was going to stay out of the city, perhaps he would need to properly resolve the internal issues.

"Let me go." Yun Sheng's acupoints were pierced through and he was unable to move. He could only allow the person to hug him tightly. In his panic, he felt a sense of familiarity.

He did not run far. After breaking away from the pursuers, he quickly landed in a courtyard not too far away from the manor. The moment he landed, he opened up her acupoints and took off his mask.

"Young Master?" No wonder she had a familiar feeling.

Baili Yu knocked on her head, "I already said that you're not allowed to call me young master."

"Brother Yu …" Yun Shengyue blushed. She had not seen him for a while, but the way he said it made her feel a little uncomfortable. "You, why are you at the prince's mansion again?"

Baili Yu sighed and said, "Although I promised you that I wouldn't meet up with you for the time being, I can't control my heart. It wanted to see you like this, that's why I dressed up like this and entered the palace at night. Who knew that you would be surrounded by a group of guards at the right time, so I saved you. "

"Ya, I can't just leave like this. I have to go back …" Yun Sheng immediately thought of the unfortunate incident. As a stately wangfei, what would the imperial guards think when she engaged in a battle with someone in the manor while being taken away by the same person in black? What would Murong Yu think? And that Hong guy, would he continue to sully her?

When Baili Yu saw how Yunsheng was rushing back the moment he saw her, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He pulled her and said, "We finally met after so much difficulty. You didn't think of me at all. You only thought of returning to that boy's side!"

"Huh?" "What is he talking about?" I'm not going back to him, but I have something to explain. Otherwise, he would have definitely misunderstood me … "

"I don't care. I finally got to see you, and I forbid you to think about him." These days, even though he had thought her to the point of going crazy, she didn't seem to have much joy in seeing him. On the other hand, she seemed to be extremely worried about being misunderstood by Murong Yu, which made him start to worry, "Yue Er, don't worry about him. Come with me, we're going back to Jiangnan!"

"I, I can't leave now." Yun Sheng explained what happened that night to him. "If I do not go back and explain, that person will continue to slander me. I think it will be very important for him to set up the formation diagram as well. I need to explain it clearly to him."

Baili Yu listened to Yun Sheng's narration as his eyes flickered. After a long period of contemplation, he said in a heavy tone, "Yue Er, do you know why I came to Jincheng?"

"Why? Isn't that a business matter? " Yun Sheng asked curiously as he looked at Baili Yu's worried expression, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Your mother is sick, very sick!"

"What!" Yun Sheng became anxious as he held Baili Yu tightly and asked, "How could that be? "How could it be like this? Isn't Jiangnan more suitable for recuperating?"

"I didn't want to tell you at first, but it's my fault. Since I knew your mother went to Jiangnan, I should have gone to see her earlier, but there were delays in other businesses, so it took me more than a month to get to your mother's place. But your father …" Baili Yu's eyes flashed, he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Yun Sheng was burning with anxiety. She had always been worried about her mother and had not written a single letter since she had left. She did not know if her journey was smooth or if she had recovered from her illness. What's wrong with my dad? "

"Your father left your mother to live alone in that courtyard, so he does have use for food, but that little girl told me that she never asked for a doctor. She was a loyal and good girl, and when she saw me visiting your mother, she immediately knelt on the ground and begged me to find a doctor to visit your mother …"

"Ruo Lan …" Mother … "Then how is my mother now?" Yun Chengling had gone too far. She should not have believed in him. Her mother had truly believed in the wrong person, so the pain in her heart must have been worse than the pain in her body.

"Your mother is too ill, and it dragged on for too long, Doctor …" Even a doctor can't do anything about it. It might not be long before your mother really wants to see you one last time … "

"I want to see my mother, I want to see my mother. Brother Yu, quickly take me to see my mother …" The news left her in a daze as she forgot about everything else.
