The garden was filled with beautiful flowers and colorful butterflies.

However, the pink-clothed girl in the flower room was gloomy and unhappy. Just now, she had inadvertently overheard the discussion between the maidservants, which nearly broke her strong heart.

"It seems that Young Master really doesn't like the Young Madam."

"That's right. Young madam is actually pretty kind. She is very nice to all of us servants."

"So what? Young Master likes Yue Er so what?"

"Yue'er really has a good life. Not only was she recognized by the Prime Minister, she even married Prince Qin as her first wife."

"That's right. I thought that even if her young master doted on her, he'd only end up as her concubine. Who knew that he'd become esteemed wangfei in the blink of an eye? I don't think she'll remember you."

"Yue Er, you're really something. The young master was so good to her in the past, and she couldn't wait to climb up the mountain after she returned. How pitiful for the young master!"

"That's right, I've never seen Young Master smile before. Young Master, you always talk to us with a smile in the past."

"Sigh!" "I said young master is too stubborn. Yue Er is already married, and so is young master. Why haven't you given up yet?"

"What do you know? Where can you find someone as good-looking and infatuated as Young Master? Young Master is too rare …"

"Haha, I knew you liked young master. Look, you're admitting defeat!"

"Stupid girl!" "What nonsense are you spouting …"

"I don't think you can think about it. The young mistress is capable in martial arts and also has the talent of a general. If the young master doesn't like her, then stand aside!"

"It's true that the young mistress is a daughter of the family, but Yue Er was once a servant girl. Why does the young master like her so much?"

"Great!" Little Gouzi, it seems like you're really tempted! " The maidservants were making fun of each other without restraint, but Wei Yinlan, who was leaning against a fake mountain, felt like she had fallen into an icehouse.

No wonder he never entered her room. So it turned out that he already had someone he liked. Then why did he smile so gently when they first met? Was he like that for everyone? Had she misunderstood his intentions? But it was also him who had come over to propose marriage.

The more Wei Yinglan thought about it, the more painful it felt. He hurriedly returned to his residence and instructed his personal maidservant, Xiao Jin, to pack up.

"Miss, why are you packing your things?" Xiao Jing felt surprised.

Wei Yinglan said with her back facing her, "Go back to Jincheng City."

"Return to Jincheng? Young Master wants to accompany Young Miss back to the door? " Xiao Jin always felt that something wasn't right, but her hands still didn't move.

"If I told you to clean up, then hurry up and clean up. Why do you have so many words to say?" Wei Yinglan was furious. She could not stay a moment longer. Originally, she was willing to believe her mother-in-law's words as well. He was indeed too busy, but the fact was that some people in his heart did not even want to see her.

"Young Master!" Xiao Jin could feel Wei Yinglan's discomfort and was preparing to pack up when Baili Yu entered the room. Upon hearing his words, Wei Yinglan's body trembled, but she forced herself not to look back.

"You can leave first." Xiao Jing looked at Wei Yinglan, then hurriedly nodded and left.

"Lan …" Baili Yu had just called out, but Wei Yinlan had already turned around. His face was filled with tears of indignation and grief.

"What are you doing here?"

Baili Yu's heart tightened, he had never seen Wei Yinglan like this before. In his memory, it was that spirited young lady in red riding a horse on the outskirts of Jincheng City.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Aren't you used to living in the Palace? " Baili Yu walked over and took out his handkerchief. He couldn't bear to see a girl cry the most.

"Why did you lie to me?" Wei Yinglan asked with tears in her eyes. The usually carefree her looked pitiful at this moment.

Baili Yu paused for a moment before asking, "When did I lie to you?"

"You don't like me at all, why did you come to my house to propose marriage!" Wei Yinglan was extremely sad, but she just couldn't hate him no matter how she looked at him.

"I …" Baili Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. He thought for a moment, then said, "Did you hear some gossip?"

"Since you like that Yue Er, why did you still come and provoke me!" Wei Yinglan asked miserably. If they were to give up their relationship, how could they get it back? Her mind was in a state of chaos. She wanted to leave immediately, but she still couldn't bear to.

He had indeed heard the gossip of the maidservants. It seemed like those chattering girls had to take care of their own business. They had previously caused a lot of trouble for him to spoil Yue'er, but fortunately, Yue'er was smart and innocent.

It was unclear how much Wei Yinlan knew, but Baili Yu recalled Qian Yulian's instructions and said hesitantly, "That is already the past. Yue Er …" She's been married for a long time, and you're the only one I have right now. "

"But I'm not in your heart …" Wei Yinglan quickly said and then lowered her head. She really couldn't believe that such a resentful tone was coming out of her mouth.

When Baili Yu saw her lowered her head so much that her ears were red, he couldn't help but feel some pity, "You are the wife I married. I will treat you well."

"Really?" Wei Yinglan looked up at him, tears still on her face.

Baili Yu helped Wei Yinglan wipe off her tears and then gently embraced her in his arms. He sighed softly in his heart, "Stop thinking too much. You're the young mistress of this house. In the future, you have to help mother manage those servants. Don't just listen to them gossip."

"Alright." The long-awaited gentleness caused Wei Yinlan to cuddle lightly in Baili Yu's embrace. She could not help but blush and feel her heart palpitating, forgetting everything for a moment.

"Empress, this old subject has just received news that the emperor is gravely ill and has not been in court for three days!" Yun Chengling urgently reported in the living room.

Qian Yulian was surprised too. "What's going on?" His Majesty's health has always been good, are you … "

"No, this old official didn't do anything. In Jiangnan, this old official has always listened to the Empress's orders …"

"Then what is going on? Could it be that slut from the palace? "She has such big nerves. She dared to harm the emperor. Does she want her son to ascend the throne as soon as possible?" Qian Yulian panicked.

"The situation is still unclear, but the crown prince has taken over the situation." Yun Chengling looked at Qian Yulian carefully.

The latter could not hold it in any longer, she stood up and said in an extremely exasperated tone, "What? It really was her! This was too vicious. She even dared to scheme against the emperor. Was she really that impatient? [Also, what happened to the Crown Prince?] Is the crown prince well? "

"Yes, I heard that a genius doctor has appeared in the palace …"

"Bang!" Qian Yulian's face turned pale as her teacup bloomed on the floor. She swayed on her feet and held onto the corner of the table. She stared at Yun Chengling and said, "You have to make the arrangements right now. I'm returning to the palace early."

"This, Niangniang, our plan hasn't reached that step yet. Should we discuss it with the country lord? There are still a lot of things that we haven't done yet …"

"Wait, wait. I've already waited for ten years, I can't wait any longer. If the Emperor was killed by her and the crown prince ascended to the throne, I'm afraid I can't return even if I wanted to." It's all because of your incompetence, and you haven't done anything good that you should have done! " Qian Yulian finally lost her cool.

Yun Chengling helplessly lowered his head. If she didn't have a weakness for him, if he hadn't accidentally offended the empress, if it wasn't for the fact that Murong Yu disdained him, then he wouldn't have stood on Qian Yulian's side and would have had no other choice. If she really was successful, then he would have to return to the city and pay attention to the situation.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was somewhat tense. The people of the Imperial Palace were all sullen, not daring to laugh or tease. Since the emperor was ill and had heard that it was very serious, the imperial physicians were helpless to do anything.

The atmosphere inside the Phoenix Perch Palace was even stranger. There was no one in the palace, and the crown prince and empress were coldly confronting each other. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.

After a long while, the Crown Prince, Mu Rong Qing, finally lost his temper and said, "Your son cannot agree with mother's decision!"

"Qing'er, mother said that the emperor's poison was definitely not from mother. You don't believe her either?" the queen asked, her face pained.

Mu Rong Qing turned his head towards the window and said coldly, "Since he is not my mother, then what is my mother doing for you to unrestrainedly proclaim my father's illness?"

"Qing'er, Imperial Mother only wants to make use of this opportunity to test the quality of the king."

"Just a test?" Then why did you let Duanmu lead the two battalions into the palace? " Mu Rong Qing continued to ask.

The empress's eyes flashed, she picked up her teacup and said, "I was just in case something goes wrong, but don't forget who poisoned you. Didn't your father also get poisoned? "If he forced us to go to the palace, how would we protect ourselves?"

Mu Rong Qing shook his head as he looked at the empress in disappointment, "Self-defense? The Queen Mother probably wanted to personally send Little Yu off for such a crime! Your son has already been investigated, my son's poisoning has never had anything to do with Little Yu. royal father summoned me to meet him last night, do you know what he said? "

"What did he say?" The Queen could not help but ask.

"Father asked me, Father asked me to help Little Yu, he said that I and Little Yu are the only two men left in the family, he said that when I was very sick, he asked Little Yu if he was willing to inherit the throne, Little Yu said that he would only help me, if Father does not believe him, he is willing to stand at the border and protect me, Bei Heng!"

"He... "He said it well …" The Queen didn't believe it at all.

Mu Rong Qing stood up and said, "I trust Little Yu!" "Please take back your plans immediately mother. I've already written to tell Little Yu not to return to the palace for the time being."

"You!" The empress was so angry that she stood up. "You have to protect him?"

"Yes sir!" Mu Rong Qing said with certainty. With an indifferent expression, he didn't want to look at the empress's angry face anymore.

"Alright, alright..." Who am I doing all these things for? " The empress was so angry that she laughed. "If it wasn't for you, do you think I'd need to worry so much?"

As for your actions, royal father should know them as well. Everyone knows very well that you don't care what kind of child you want to be in the harem, but please don't interfere in politics, nor do you want to hurt royal father and Little Yu! "Ling Chen:" … "

After Mu Rong Qing finished speaking, she flicked her sleeve and left. After she turned around, a teardrop fell down from the corner of her eyes. Her face was quickly dried up by the wind and was still as white and transparent as before.

In the past, he was already twelve, and he already knew many things. He hated his mother for her cruel methods, but what could he do about it? This extremely powerful and vicious woman was his own mother, and he could only ignore her.

No wonder after the fire at the Eternal Fortune Palace, royal father had never specially pampered a single lady. He only wanted to reduce the sin of the harem. Why hasn't Yunfei returned yet? Although the poison in royal father's body wasn't that severe, he still needed to cure it.

Little Yu! What was Little Yu thinking? He actually didn't bring Yue'er back, and instead let her go to Jiangnan. With his usual cold personality, why would he want to go with her? Could it be that he was tempted by her as well?

Mu Rong Qing's usually calm heart was in a mess. As he looked at the countless layers of palaces, his unparalleled handsome face was covered with a layer of haze.
