When Chen Jue`er heard from the servant girl in the Immortal Cloud Restaurant that the prince seemed to want to go far, she nervously stood up and wanted to go out. However, when she reached the door, she retreated.
In the past, Hong Wentao had some words that were right. There were many things that she couldn't get, perhaps it would be better to wait quietly. Thinking of this, she sat back down and continued sewing on Murong Yu's Xia Chang.
The crown prince, Mu Rong Qing, had already entered the mansion before Murong Yu had even left. He was slightly surprised to see Mu Rong Yu walking out with a dark expression on his face.
"Royal brother?" Mu Rong Yu was a little surprised when he saw Mu Rong Qing. He hadn't shown himself much recently.
"Did I come at the wrong time? Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry. What is royal brother looking for me for?" Murong Yu invited him in with a respectful and polite expression.
Mu Rong Qing sighed in his heart. He smiled as he looked at the octagonal pavilion. "There's something I need to discuss with you. You won't have much time, so go sit in that pavilion for a while."
"Please speak, royal brother." The two of them sat down in the pavilion, while the guards kept watch from afar. They did not move forward.
Mu Rong Qing looked at the serious looking Mu Rong Yu and smiled, "I remember that you weren't this stubborn when you were young. Could it be that I am very scary now? You are always this cautious whenever you see me. This is your house, not the palace.
Murong Yu's expression remained unchanged. "Chendi has always been boring when dealing with people. It has nothing to do with royal brother."
"Forget it, let's get down to business." Mu Rong Qing understood that he had a grudge, so he didn't force the issue. "Right now, the border trials are in a deadlock, I heard that there are many court officials fighting in the imperial court. They want to start the war before winter starts to fall, so as to avoid delaying the winter, I'll have to trouble you. Little Yu, what do you think?"
"The actions of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain people are ambiguous and their intentions are unclear. Two hundred thousand soldiers guarding the border is indeed a heavy consumption. If it's the main battle, then your servant is willing to head to the border to assist Old General Hong."
Mu Rong Qing replied seriously, "I have just come for this matter, and now that the voices of the main battle in the imperial court are getting louder and louder, and the letter is that you, Little Yu, are going to lead the army as well, I just hope that you don't agree to lead the army. The Southern Barbaric Nether Domain is just testing the waters and the border is not in danger, but we brothers don't have no one in the imperial court, so you don't have to go to the battlefield."
"If little brother is willing, there's no harm."
Mu Rong Qing shook his head. "I knew that you were willing to go, so I came here personally to tell you that if you insist on fighting in the imperial court, I will advise royal father to let General Wei go. You can stay in Jincheng without showing your face."
"Chendi understands." Murong Yu remained respectful as he was before, not asking any further questions.
"Are you going to Jiangnan?" Mu Rong Qing suddenly changed the topic.
Murong Yu raised his head to look at him and said calmly, "Jiang Nan has sent a letter. Chén di is going to bring Yue Er back."
"Very well, you must be careful. Recently, I have heard a rumor and it has not been verified, but I heard that Lian Gui Lian and second royal brother are still alive, and they might be in Jiangnan. Take some people with you to Jiangnan and check up on this matter."
"There have always been such rumors. Is there any more news about royal brother?" Murong Yu frowned as he asked this.
"There were rumors a few years ago as well, but they were all ignored in the end. Although I don't have much information this time, I feel that it is very possible, and now you know, I am not sick but poisoned, and mother has always suspected that it is related to you, but brother feels that it should be related to Imperial Concubine Lian, and brother can't leave Jincheng. You should go and secretly investigate about it, and be careful when you are safe, Second Imperial Brother was the most obedient when you were young, but Imperial Concubine Lian's heart is filled with hatred. If they were to live, then I'm afraid that if they were really alive, then we would have to find a way to cure them."
Mu Rong Yu looked at Mu Rong Qing, who was standing outside the pavilion, with a complicated expression on his face. This matter involved too many past years' grudges, so he just nodded slightly and didn't ask any further.
Although Murong Yu had heard the crown prince's suggestion and arranged for many people to head towards Jiangnan, he couldn't help but feel anxious as he thought about the contents of the letter. Thus, he led five to six men on a good horse to head there first.
The letter from Hei Yi said that Lady Zhou's condition was slightly better, but Baili Yu would often visit her. He clearly knew his identity, yet he did not put his words to heart at all. It was as if he wanted to fight. Was it because he was bold, or was it because their relationship was already so good that it was enough to make him an enemy?
He could no longer convince himself that it was only for the sake of the agreement, only to protect his man's dignity. Yunsheng was his wife, and was someone he wanted to get close to, so he wanted to know more about her. For twenty years, he had only felt that he was not living for himself, and only in front of her could he feel so many emotions.
"Young master, as you expected, the Duke of Qin is already heading towards Jiangnan."
"How many people did he bring?"
"Only six guards."
Baili Yu laughed, "Then you know what to do. I've already given you two chances, and you've already messed up both times. If this still doesn't work, then you don't need to see me."
"But …" Young Master, Madam said to temporarily not touch him. "
"Hmph, don't forget, you have always been following me. You will be following me in the future too. I told you to take action, so don't let my mother know." Baili Yu was extremely angry. If it weren't for their uselessness, how could they have survived like this?
"Yes sir!" That person cupped his hands and immediately retreated after hearing the order.
Baili Yu lightly wiped the sword in his hand and narrowed his usually gentle eyes. He could not be blamed for being ruthless. If he did not do this, then the one who would lose everything would be him.
"Hubby." Wei Yinglan carried the melon into Baili Yu's study. When she saw him wiping his sword, she gently said, "Master, do you want to practice the sword? "Lan'er can accompany you."
Baili Yu put down his sword, and pulled Wei Yinglan's hand as he smiled, "It's already hot outside, so why are you still working so hard, Lan?"
"The mansion buys honey melons. They are sent to our master to relieve the heat after the ice has cooled down." Wei Yinglan was pulled by Baili Yu to sit on his lap. His face was slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Baili Yu first fed a piece to Wei Yinglan, then quickly kissed Wei Yinglan's lips, "It's very sweet, as sweet as Lan's little mouth."
"Husband …" Although she knew that he loved Yue'er dearly, they were already husband and wife in reality. Furthermore, he had treated her a lot more gently than before, so she had to take good care of him.
"Now that the weather is hot, can I accompany you back to Jincheng to visit your parents when the weather is cool?" Baili Yu asked thoughtfully. He knew that Wei Yinglan seemed to be in contact with many people in the Wei Residence recently.
When they returned to Jincheng City, Wei Yinglan was naturally overjoyed, "Alright, thank you my dear husband!"
The couple was eating a sweet melon, when a guard came to report on something. Wei Yinglan quickly got up and left.
"What is it?" Baili Yu immediately restrained his expression.
"Madam asks for Young Master to come over immediately."
"Alright, I'll be there right away." He and Qian Yulian had been at odds with each other lately. Ever since the news about the emperor's poisoning had reached Lady Qian, she had been anxious to return to the palace, but he didn't want to return so soon. He wanted to wait for Yue'er to return to his side first, since he was afraid that once he regained his status, the obstacles between him and Yue'er would be even greater.
"Isn't royal father's illness better now? It's been ten years, there's no need to rush back to the palace, right? There are still many plans that we haven't kept up with." Baili Yu persuaded.
Qian Yulian glared at him and said, "What else can we do?" It seems like your royal father is not going to send the Otherworldly Demonic Lord to the borders, so this method of luring the tigers out of the mountains simply won't work. Also, the crown prince, those idiots told me that he was too weak to build a sect, and it seems like they are hiding their strength from the world now. That vicious woman has already taught him a lesson, so the Otherworldly King can let go for now, since there are not many people outside the palace, it's just that he is a girl who is temporarily not a threat to you. "
"But …" Baili Yu frowned.
"I know what's on your mind. Are you doing it for Yue Er?" Qian Yulian looked disappointed, "You are so obsessed with a girl. How many women do you need in the future?" That little girl is of no use to us, so you should treat Yinlan well. Also, you won't be able to delay the matter regarding Baili Xiu for long, you must marry her after your identity is revealed and we return to Jincheng City. "
I just want Yue Er, and you have to stop me. At that time, before Yue'er left, you should have agreed to my proposal to Prime Minister Yun, but you said that after they returned to Jincheng, it would be the same if I were to propose to them again. At that time, I thought that it would be more pleasing for me to personally propose to Yue'er, but you actually let Prime Minister Yun agree to Royal Father's proposal … "
"Mother didn't know that your royal father would marry so soon …" She would not admit it because she did not want her son to be stuck in such a predicament. She would not admit it because she did not want Yun Chanling to be the one to give the Emperor a hint as soon as possible that Baili Yu had never been able to put his heart into fighting with his brother. With Yun Sheng Yue as his chess piece, he had successfully aroused his fighting spirit and that was what she wanted.
Baili Yu looked helpless, "No matter what! I, Yue Er, am now in the Wind City. Your son must have her come back to me and you don't need to worry about Murong Yu anymore! "
With that, Baili Yu walked out of the room. Qian Yulian silently watched his back as he left. After pondering for a moment, she clapped her hands to signal the person who had been standing behind the screen to come over to speak.
"Miss, are you going out again?" Xiao Jing asked as she looked at Wei Yinglan, who had changed into a man's outfit.
Wei Yinglan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not like my husband said I'm not allowed to go out. Besides, I have kung fu skills and am wearing men's clothing, so I won't suffer any losses when I go out. Just obediently embroider at home."
"But I'm still worried about you. Miss, please take me with you." Even though Miss knew martial arts, she would not be allowed to go out. Moreover, she would be asked to stay in the outer room to guard, and even if someone asked, they would only say that she was resting in the inner room. There must be something wrong with that, right?
"You're not good at kung fu, and your walking speed is slow. It's better if you don't. I'll be back in a while, I'll bring you something nice to eat." Wei Yinglan casually said before hurrying out the door.
