It was late spring, and along the way, the grass and trees were flourishing, tender green, emerald green, dark green, and all around them were bright and beautiful green. Occasionally, there were white, pink, red, and purple wildflowers mixed in, like gorgeous dancing butterflies.
Yun Sheng's mind was in a mess. He did not care about the scenery along the way. Baili Yu, who was usually as warm as the spring sun, appeared expressionless as he was preoccupied with his own matters. The journey was not smooth.
"Yue Er, let's be a bit slower. You should lie down and rest. If you continue like this, you'll be exhausted." Baili Yu said as he looked at the rapidly withering Yun Shengyue, who was filled with worry.
He felt a little guilty. Yue'er's mother's illness was indeed serious, but her mother didn't ask him to inform Yue'er, and instead hoped that he would keep it a secret from her. He didn't want her to know that Ruo Lan only told him to say that she wasn't cured after she died.
Moreover, he also hoped that Murong Yu would misunderstand her. That way, it would be impossible for them, and furthermore, Yue'er would definitely wish to accompany her mother in her final days, in order to make him feel better. However, seeing how worried Yue'er was, he couldn't help but silently hate himself for what he had done.
She was grateful for what he had done for her mother, and was also grateful that he had come to inform her that her mother had happily gone to Jiangnan. Although her daughter had married into the prince's mansion, she felt very satisfied that her husband was willing to accompany her in her final days.
Mother, please wait for me, you must wait for me! She could sense that her mother was definitely suffering a fate worse than death. She had no intention of surviving, so she had to hurry to her side as soon as possible. She had to let her know that she still had her.
"Yue Er, rest for a while." His Littlemoon had always been an open-heart fruit. When had he ever experienced such a helpless situation? The closer he got to Jiangnan, the more panicked he became. How was he going to explain the fact that he was already married? Although Yue Er had said that she wouldn't ask for a name, as long as she could be with him, what would she think if he hadn't told her after getting married for such a long time?
Wei Yinglan was also a good woman. As the daughter of a general, she did not have a single trace of arrogance, nor did she cower from him. She learned how to manage the house, and her hands, which were fond of daggers and guns, also learned how to sew. He stayed in the study late at night, but she always made snacks and soup herself.
He had listened to his mother's instructions and appeared in front of her, using his smile to confuse this young girl who had just started her relationship. However, after marrying her back, he threw her aside, constantly thinking about how he would also marry someone he loved because of his weakness. How could he have fallen to such a state?
Why did he have to endure such an unbearable pain? He really would rather not be some prince. Although that gorgeous palace was still in his childhood memories, it was no longer that clear. Did he have to go back there? But perhaps his mother's wish was also his desire?
"Young master, we're only 10 miles away from Origin Town. It's getting late, are we going back to Origin Town to stay?" Baili Yu's train of thoughts was interrupted by a loud report from an attendant of the carriage.
Yun Sheng was jolted out of his daze as he looked at Baili Yu and said, "Can we ride by ourselves tomorrow? "This carriage is too slow, I …"
"Alright, I'll ask them to prepare the best horses, but we'll be leaving the city in the middle of the night." Fine, I'll ask them to prepare the best horses, but we'll be leaving the city in the middle of the night. Baili Yu looked at the pale-faced Yun Shengyue with a pained expression.
Yun Cangyue hesitated for a moment before she nodded and said, "Alright."
"Your Highness, the palace outsider reported that the wangfei was taken away by someone from the palace last night. Prince Qin has already sent out all of the mansion's elites to investigate, yet there is still no news." Within the Eastwoods palace, a blue-robed guard reported.
Crown Prince Mu Rong Qing's beautiful eyes sparkled as he put down the red brush in his hand. "Is the news accurate?" In Jincheng City, who dares to rob the royal concubine? "
Little Dong Zi had come to the palace early in the morning to report and it seemed that there was something fishy about the matter. It was said that when the wangfei was wearing the night attire and fighting with the guests of the palace, she was discovered by the guards of the mansion, and when the wangfei had just revealed her identity, someone else in black appeared and took her away. The wangfei had only ordered that no one was to discuss this matter with her.
"Send someone to look for him!" "Be quick!" Mu Rong Qing couldn't understand what was going on, so he gave the order after thinking for a while.
The guard had just left when Cloudsoar, who was dressed in a sky-blue robe, walked in. He didn't even greet the crown prince as he frowned and said coldly, "Your Highness' body isn't completely healed yet. Working on the government like this is of no benefit to you."
Mu Rong Qing replied with a smile that didn't mind, "He's already much better now. Father's body hasn't been feeling well recently, so I naturally have to help him share his worries." In fact, even if he did not care, the Queen Mother would still force him to deal with it. That's right, he would be busy once he recovered.
Yun Feiyang coughed lightly and said, "I came here to discuss the Emperor's illness with His Highness."
"With Brother Yun here, I am at ease." Mu Rong Qing didn't doubt his words and displayed an attitude of one hundred percent trust in him.
Yun Feiyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. This man in front of him who looked as beautiful as a flower, but was actually very cautious, had always confused him. He always had the power to make people submit with a single sentence or two.
"The emperor isn't sick, he's poisoned." This was also the reason why he was not at ease when someone entered the palace. In order to clear the path for her, he entered the palace, but the longer he stayed, the more he felt like the palace was an unending whirlpool. If those people were willing to circle around in the center of the palace, what power did he have to change?
Mu Rong Qing's face turned cold as he gently withdrew his gaze, hiding the hostility that had appeared within his eyes. "Brother Yun definitely has a way to cure it, right?"
"Your majesty's poisoning isn't too deep, but this poison is a bit special. I've already used medicine to temporarily suppress it, but I'm still unable to completely cure it. There are some medicines that need to be sought out by the palace."
"If you need anything, get someone to send it to the palace!"
"No, I have to make a trip personally, rest assured Your Highness, this poison will not be life-threatening for a while, it's just that this poison is administered in a very clever way. Your Highness, do not reveal anything for now, just according to my diagnosis of cold lungs and weak body, we will secretly investigate the person who poisoned this poison."
"Good, Brother Yun, you saved my life, and now you saved the emperor. In the future, if there's anything you need, I will definitely fulfill Brother Yun's wish." He had initially wanted to keep him in the palace as an official and take charge of the medicine concocting business, but he was used to not wanting to. Thus, he could only think of ways to give him what he wanted and give him sufficient respect and privileges.
With a complicated expression, Yunfei chuckled gently. His smile was clearly a bit bitter, "Many thanks Your Highness. I may not be able to get the one Yunfei asked for. However, let's not talk about that now, I'll be leaving the palace to look for medicine first."
After Yun Fei said this, he hurriedly left without even bowing. In any case, Murong Jiang Chen had been freed from the restraints of etiquette. After Mu Rong Qing saw him leave, he clapped his hands and two grey robed guards appeared before him.
In the middle of the night, the wind was blowing and the moon was moving between the thin clouds.
Yun Sheng was finally exhausted and fell into a deep slumber. Her worry and anxiety prevented her from noticing that Baili Yu was too preoccupied with his own matters. She only wanted to see her mother faster. The window was gently opened, and the chilly night breeze hurriedly snuck into the room. It did not wake the person lying on the bed.
As he walked to the bedside, Murong Yu's fury was slowly extinguished when he saw his sleeping face. Just as he was looking out of the window, he suddenly heard a sound from outside. He quickly pressed on Yun Shengyue's acupoints and carried her out of the window.
"Who is it?" "Halt." At the same time, Baili Yu forcefully pushed open the door to Yunsheng's room. The door just happened to be opened by Murong Yu, and he hurriedly chased after him.
Fighting sounds came from outside. It was likely that some guard had alarmed Baili Yu's men. Baili Yu's qinggong was outstanding. Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue were quickly caught up by him.
Murong Yu simply stopped walking and looked at him coldly. "I said that I don't want to see you again. My patience is limited."
"It's you!" "Please return Yue Er to me, I love her …" Baili Yu was naturally arrogant, but because of his guilt towards Yue'er, he still lowered his head when he saw Murong Yu.
Murong Yuying's eyes were filled with mockery as he sneered, "You love her? Then, did you tell her that you are now General Wei's son-in-law? "
"You!" He was at a loss for words when he heard those words. After a moment, he recovered and said, "That is just my mother's wish. I only have Yue'er in my heart, and you don't like her.
"You do not need to worry about This King's matter. Listen carefully! She, Yun Sheng, is This King's imperial concubine. You, Baili Yu, must not appear in front of This King, or else don't blame This King for being merciless! " After Murong Yu finished his sentence, he turned around and left. Yun Shengyue lay limply in his arms, completely oblivious to everything that had happened.
He watched in pain as Murong Yu walked far away before turning around and returning to the inn. He didn't expect that Murong Yu would catch up to him so quickly, he shouldn't underestimate him, he shouldn't stay in this town, Baili Yu raised his head to look at the bright moon in the night sky, his expression darkened and finally let out a cold, bitter laugh. With Yue'er's character, she already knew that her mother was sick, so she would definitely think of ways to return to Jiangnan.
When Yun Sheng suddenly woke up, it was already nearly dawn. A tall figure was standing by the window. She was shocked and quickly scanned her surroundings. Only then did she realize that she was no longer sleeping on the bed of the inn. Furthermore, the person who turned around by the window after hearing the commotion was actually Murong Yu.
"It's you. Where is this?" Yun Shengyue hurriedly jumped down from the bed and walked over. While doing so, she took a look at her own body. She had slept in the same outfit last night and was still wearing it well. However, there were some wrinkles on her face.
"Formation Diagram!" Murong Yu coldly said, not answering her question.
"Oh." Yun Sheng replied very naturally as he reached his hand into his belt. After searching for a long time, he failed to find anything. The blueprint had disappeared without a trace.
"I put it in my belt, why is it gone?" After carefully looking through, he did not find anything. He could only look at Murong Yu in embarrassment and say, "We can't find him. He might have lost him on the way."
"Really?" Did he leave it to someone? Do you know the importance of an array? " Murong Yu said angrily.
Yun Sheng was given a fright as he forgot to tie his belt. "I, I just felt that it should be something important that I snatched away. It's not like I lost it on purpose..."
"Snatched it?" Murong Yu stared at Yun Shengyue with a puzzled expression. He raised his eyebrows, indicating that he wanted to hear her explanation.
