Ruo Lan looked up at Yun Shengyue in surprise. When she saw the sincerity in her eyes, she was moved. She did not know what to say.

Madame Zhou laughed. "That's right, that's right. Yue Er is alone when she's young. Even though we have brothers and sisters, we can't get close. If we have Ruo Lan as our elder sister, you two sisters can take care of each other."

"Mom, we can't force big sister Ruo Lan either." Seeing Ruo Lan in a daze, Yun Sheng deliberately pouted.

Ruo Lan quickly knelt down and greeted, "Ruo Lan pays her respects to mother."

"Good, good, good. Quickly get up. I never would have thought that I would have such good fortune. I was just about to be buried and still get such a good daughter." Madame Zhou was also very happy. These days, no matter how Ruo Lan treated her, although she was very sick and gloomy, she still knew what was going on in her heart. Her feeling of care was no different than that of her own daughter.

Yun Sheng Yue hurriedly helped Ruo Lan up and said in a spoiled manner, "Sister, look at mother being happy. She's even happier than when she saw me a few days ago. I'm getting jealous."

"You little girl, if you were as sensible as your sister, mother wouldn't have to worry." She quickly took off her simple and unadorned scarlet gold bracelet and gave it to Ruo Lan, saying, "This bracelet was obtained by mother when she got married. She has worn it for more than ten years, and there's nothing good to be happy about right now. I'll let you have some thoughts."

"This …" Ruo Lan wanted to take it off, but Madame Zhou held her down. She was very sincere and could only accept it.

By her side, Yun Shengyue continued to say in a sour tone, "Look, look. Let me say it. Mother really loves elder sister more."

"This girl knows how to act coquettishly, let's ignore her." Madame Zhou smiled.

Ruo Lan's eyes were a little watery. She knew that the mother and daughter really treated her sincerely. The three of them were happily chatting when Yun Chengling suddenly walked into the yard.

When Yun Shengyue saw him, she turned furious and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Yue Er, when did you come here? Why are you talking to your father like that?" Yun Chengling acted as if he did not know Yun Sheng's arrival, and his expression was also very innocent.

Mistress Zhou lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, but did not say anything. Yunsheng continued, "You still have the nerve to come over? My mother was nearly killed by you. You should thank Bodhisattva. If my mother had not recovered in the past two days, I would definitely not have let you off!"

"What are you saying? Father has been busy with public affairs for the past few days and neglected your mother. However, there are many servants in the mansion, so I'm not worried about eating. I didn't mistreat your mother!" Yun Chengling tried to defend himself.

His mother had probably been deceived by him in this manner. Without showing any mercy, she said, "My mother came to Jiangnan to recuperate. You left her alone in the yard without a doctor. You clearly want to kill her!"

"What?" Yun Chengling pretended to be surprised and said, "How can there not be a doctor? I had clearly instructed the butler to call a doctor, and he even asked everyone to take good care of your mother …"

"Forget it, you don't need to fake the smell anymore." "My mother will be taken care of by me in the future. Since you, your benefactor, are busy, there's no need to worry about it!" Madam Zhou quickly raised her head to look at Yun Chengling. Once again, she lowered her head, but did not say a word.

Ruo Lan looked at Yun Chengling with a complicated expression. Together with Yun Shengyue, they supported Madam Zhou out of the garden.

He never expected that Yun Sheng would arrive in Jiangnan so quickly. This daughter of his was after all married to the King, so he did not want to offend her in the future just in case. Therefore, he had treated her well in Jincheng City and did not expect that she would be able to hold out for so long.

"Young Master, the Madam has requested that you return to the southern part of the city." Wei Wu had an awkward expression as he stopped Baili Yu.

Baili Yu said, "I'm just going to check on Lady Yun's illness. I'll take a look at Little Yue'er as well. She won't stay for long."

"Young Master, you should understand what Madam means." Wei Wu advised.

"I know, it's fine if you don't say it, I'll be back soon. Very soon, if my mother comes looking for me, you can say that I went to meet some customers in the shop." After Baili Yu finished speaking, he ignored Wei Wu and left.

Wei Wu shook his head and quickly walked away. At the corner of the room, a puzzled woman quietly followed him out the door after a moment of hesitation. It was Wei Yinlan.

"Thank you for treating my mother to a doctor." Yun Sheng said.

Baili Yu unnaturally pursed his lips and said tenderly, "As long as your mother is better. Don't worry too much. She's already so thin in just a few days."

"I'm fine. I was just a bit rushed a few days ago, so I didn't rest well."

"Today's weather is cool, let's take your mother for a walk. It's boring staying in this courtyard every day. At the foot of the mountain, there are people who can lift poles. It's not tiring up the mountain. " Baili Yu suggested. It had been a long time since he and Littlemoon had gone out to relax.

Yun Shengyue glanced at Mrs. Zhou and was slightly tempted. She had always liked the scenery of Nanfeng Mountain.

"Many thanks for Young Master's good intentions, I think it's best if I don't go out and mess around with this body of mine." Seeing how Yunsheng wanted to go out for a stroll, she could only say, "Yue'er, you don't have to come back often. If you want to come back, you can go and take a look, and bring Ruo Lan along with you. She hasn't gone out for a walk in the past few days.

"I'd better not go. I'll stay at home with you." Ruo Lan lowered her eyes and whispered.

Madam Zhou insisted, "I'm fine. I'll be going to bed soon. There are other girls watching over them. You and Littlemoon can go out to relax. That Southern Wind Mother has been there before. It is indeed a good scenery."

"Yes, sister. Let's go out for a walk and then we'll be back." Yue Er pulled Rowan and said.

Ruo Lan could only nod her head in agreement. She was pulled back into the house by Yun Sheng to change her clothes before following Baili Yu out. Black First Class Guard followed them quietly.

Baili Yu was a little displeased. He glanced at the guard behind him and said, "Yue Er, we're just here to take a look at the scenery. We don't need so many people to follow us."

Yunsheng looked at them expressionlessly. Ever since they started following her, they had always kept a low profile and taken good care of her. They had always listened to her every request, except for Murong Yu, who told them to follow her every step of the way to protect her. Although she was somewhat unhappy at the start, she was still used to it now.

"Let them be." Yun Sheng said, "Let's go. It won't be a problem for them to follow us from behind."

Of course, Baili Yu did not think so. He only thought that they were clearly monitoring them, so it was not difficult for him to get rid of them. However, he did not want Yue'er to be even an inch away from him.

It was a cloudy day, without a bright sun to shine on it, the cool breeze was gentle and very cool. The few of them were young and strong, so they naturally walked up the mountain. Yun Sheng and Baili Yu had revisited their old places, and although they were relaxed and happy, they were also familiar with each other. It was Ruo Lan's first time here, as well as her first time enjoying such a leisurely outing.

There were also people walking up and down the mountain in groups of twos and threes. They did not find it tiring as they walked and would always explain to Ruo Lan whenever they came across an interesting place, "Sis, look at that mountain over there. It doesn't look like a beauty gazing into the distance."

"It's kind of like, like they're expecting someone." Rowland looked at it for a moment.

Baili Yu smiled and said, "Miss Ruo Lan is indeed perceptive. That mountain is called the Beauty's Peak. This is the first time that this stupid Yue'er has visited this place, but she couldn't tell that it's actually a stone mountain."

Yun Shengyue pouted and said, "I'm not wrong. It's a rock mountain after all. However, its shape is somewhat similar to a side face. Back then, I thought that I had to look at the front, so I couldn't see it."

The guards were some distance away from each other, but following quietly did not affect them. Not far away, there was a woman with a bamboo hat that covered her face walking slowly along with them. Although she seemed to be enjoying the scenery, her hands, which hung by her side, were tightly clenched from the beginning to the end.

The border trial was still in a stalemate, and the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain didn't seem to have any intent of attacking. It was as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

During the spring and summer, when the people were still living in peace and working in prosperity, when the south and the north were busy with business and agriculture, the situation in the imperial court was slightly delicate. When the emperor's illness had just subsided, the crown prince seemed to have gotten sick again.

In the imperial court, the presence of the two sects was even more obvious. Occasionally, there would be a dispute in the imperial court, but the Emperor would ignore it. The imperial harem was temporarily quiet as the empress began to pay her respects to the Buddha. She lived in seclusion, no longer interfering with government affairs. Everything seemed abnormally calm.

She was just a delicate woman who did not know martial arts. After being hit by Hong Wentao's palm, she woke up after being unconscious for three days. Her cheeks were sickly pale, and her eyes were filled with panic and fear.

Without waiting for Murong Yu to ask, Chen Jue`er truthfully told him that she was the one who gave the blueprint for that night. Because Hong Wentao had kept threatening her, he had first killed her cat, then threatened to poison Murong Yu, which caused her to do something foolish and wrong. After experiencing this, Chen Jue`er was scared and wanted to tell Murong Yu the truth, but was afraid that he would not understand, so she decided to keep it a secret.

When he met Chen Jue`er, he had also sent people to investigate him. At that time, the traitor, General Wang, had injured many innocent people, and there were countless casualties in a small town, so what Chen Jue`er said was not false. At that time, he saw a weak girl who had fainted because of helplessness or hunger, so he told the deputy general to bring her a way out at the appropriate time.

In these past few years, she had been gentle and considerate, managing the internal affairs of the estate well, and was very amiable when it came to staying people. Only in the past two to three months had she done anything unusual, probably because he had taken Yue Er as his wife.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of reaction the indifferent, serene Yun Sheng would have. Not only was the woman jealous, but she also cared for her husband, which meant that she did not care about Jue'er's identity at all, which meant that she did not care about him at all. This speculation made him a little depressed, but he did not want to think too deeply about it.

The Spirit Eagle Palace had always been both righteous and evil, and the people within the palace did not often appear in the martial arts world. The Spirit Eagle Palace had always been both righteous and evil, but the people within the palace did not often appear in the martial arts world.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, yet he still could not find any clues. Hong Wentao seemed to have disappeared, and the Duke's Mansion regained its peace. However, it seemed too calm, and it was a bit depressing.

The mansion had been reorganized once, but there were some other people who were careful not to make any mistakes. Chen Jue-er had also obediently stayed in the house to recuperate, and he was almost completely recovered, but he still stayed in the Immortal Cloud Restaurant quietly and did some embroidery work to recuperate his health. When he saw Murong Yu, his smile became a lot more gentle, and he was also very careful to not mention Yun Sheng Yue.

He would often walk to the West Wind Academy without even realizing it, but seeing that the cucumbers and beans were still quite impressive, and that some of the vines had fallen to the ground because their masters weren't around, he would casually place them on a bamboo rack. The vegetables were also lush and green, and he imagined that if that little person was here, he would definitely look at them with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Your Royal Highness, a letter has arrived from the Wind City." Hei Er received a letter from Hei Yi. When he saw that there was no one in the study, he came looking for him. He knew what his master wanted. If not for that, why would his master have placed Hei Yi at Princess Hua-Yang's side?

Murong Yu quickly read the letter and his expression changed. He immediately ordered for them to head to the Wind City. Hei Er quickly went to prepare. Although Master didn't say what was the matter, it must have something to do with the wangfei.
