After the heavy rain, the sky was as blue as a wash. The leaves of the trees were so green that they seemed like they could drip water, and the lotus flowers by the lake were blooming and alluring. Standing by the lake, a hundred miles away, were dressed in royal blue robes.

"The people we sent have all failed. The King will arrive at the Wind City tomorrow."

"Trash." Baili Yu's thin lips parted as he said angrily, "Young Master, if the Duke Qin enters the city, we can't make a move anymore. This is too obvious. My lady will find out and Mayor Xue will definitely be troubled."

"Alright, I understand. Let them retreat and follow them into the city. Don't follow any of the spies. Just pay attention to the people in the city." Baili Yu soon regained his composure.

The guard heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at Baili Yu, but was unable to tell what he was thinking. He then hurriedly left.

Baili Yu stared fixedly at a half-opened lotus for a while, as if he had thought of something, and quickly left through the side door.

"Ying Lan, don't cry. Whatever you want to do, senior brother will help you." Ji Wuya's heart ached as he looked at Wei Yinglan, who was covered in tears.

Wei Yinglan carelessly wiped her face and said, "Sorry for making a fool of myself, Senior Brother. Yinglan really can't stand a normal girl crying when she encounters something. But she really can't hold it in."

"I understand, senior. But it's not worth it for you to be so sad for Baili Yu …"

Upon mentioning Baili Yu, Wei Yinglan finally calmed down. She glanced at Ji Wuya and said, "Originally, if he had liked other girls, it would have been fine for him to marry her. However, that Yun Shengyue is already an imperial concubine, so who in Jincheng doesn't know that the Duke is cold.

"Then what should we do? "Then the royal consort won't stay in Windy City for long, right?"

"I've already sent someone to investigate. It seems like Prime Minister Yun's side chamber is very ill, so he came to Jiangnan to recuperate. Only the imperial concubine would come to visit, but he has been here for the past ten days and has not left. So he … he went to …"

In other words, if Concubine Qin's mother isn't in the Wind City, then she shouldn't have any reason to stay here, right?" "Ji Wuya immediately reacted.

Wei Yinglan nodded and said, "Yes. If she wasn't here, how could she have stayed in the Wind City forever? I'm afraid the Duke even wouldn't have agreed."

"What do you want to do?" Ji Wuya understood Wei Yinglan. Seeing her calm face, he knew that she must have a plan.

Wei Yinglan lowered her head and thought for a moment before raising her head again, "I originally asked my family to come and help. Today is the birthday of the Holy Mother. We can take advantage of this opportunity and lead the Yun clan to Jincheng. After a few days, we can inform Yun Shengyue. She will naturally leave immediately, as her heart is burning with anxiety … "

"Mm, this method works. It's just that, Ying Lan, do you really want to be wronged like this?" Ji Wuya's tone was filled with reluctance.

Wei Yinglan smiled sadly: "What else can I do? I can only pretend that I don't know anything. I forced myself to smile when he was here, hoping that he would notice me. I've already married him, so that's the only way! "

"You, you …" In the end, Ji Wuya held back his words, "I will help you with this matter. Don't come forward and hope that after Yun Sheng leaves, the both of you will be able to pass. Truly..." If you really can't pass, then remember that there's still senior brother here. Senior brother will definitely help you, okay? "

"Mother!" "Ruo Lan!" Like a headless fly, Yun Sheng anxiously ran around the yard.

Now that her health was inconvenient, Yun Shengyue naturally had to sacrifice herself on her behalf. She was accompanied by Baili Yu, so Ruo Lan did not go, but in the evening when she returned, several servants of the manor were tied up in an acupuncture point, leaving Zhou and Ruo Lan alone.

Baili Yu called one of the servants to inquire, but that person only said that he had been ambushed and was unable to clearly see who it was. He searched around the house but didn't find any clues. The house was not messy, and there was no loss of property. It was obvious that the person's purpose was to capture someone.

"Brother Yu, where is my mother going? Who wants to capture my mother? " Yun Sheng asked as he grabbed Baili Yu nervously. He was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Baili Yu also hesitated, "This... You and your mother have never offended anyone. Yue Er, don't be anxious, I will immediately send someone to help you find it. "

"What's going on!?" How can this be? " Yun Sheng finally burst into tears. "Brother Yu, quickly send someone to look for them. If there's anything between my mother and Ruo Lan, what should I do..."

Don't cry, Yue Er, it will be fine, look at this house, no one is hurt at all, the person who came must have some other purpose, he won't hurt them. With Ruo Lan together, she will take care of your mother. Baili Yu also felt that this matter was a little strange. He had thought for a moment that it might have been Murong Yu, but he immediately rejected it.

Seeing the situation, they looked at each other. They did not know what was going on, but after a thorough check, they could not find any useful clues. They could only conclude that the person who came was an expert, with more than one person.

Baili Yu rushed to the manor with Yun Sheng. He did not enter the manor, but instead called for Wei Wu and company to come out, explaining that the situation had told them to take charge of the city gates and search the city. Yun Sheng was so anxious that he could only rely on Baili Yu to arrange everything.

Wei Wu and the other old guards were already very familiar with Yue Er and Madame Zhou. Although Madame told them that Young Master and Yue Er were not allowed to interact with each other, when the Young Master ordered them to help, there were still people who secretly went to report to Lady Qian.

After the imperial guards had made their arrangements, Baili Yu was in the midst of persuading Yun Shengyue to return first and wait for the news when Wei Yinglan suddenly walked out of the mansion with her maidservant Xiao Jin. She quickly came in front of Baili Yu and asked gently, "Why is Hubby talking to guests at the entrance?"

"I have something to do …" Baili Yu did not expect her to come out. He hurriedly glanced at Yunsheng. She was still immersed in the pain and anxiety of Zhou's disappearance, and was unable to react.

Wei Yinglan's voice became louder, "Husband, this lady is?"

"Hubby?" Yun Sheng finally reacted. When he looked up, he saw a beautiful person with large eyes and a handsome face. He was looking at Baili Yu with a smile on his face.

The two of them looked at each other. Wei Yinglan seemed to have suddenly recalled something as she smiled and asked, "Is this Consort Qin? Is it because I heard the girls talk about Yue Er, who went out of our residence? So the real person was even prettier than they described, right? Since he was already here, why didn't he enter the mansion? "Master, you aren't doing your job well as the host …"

Yun Sheng looked at her in a daze. Wei Yinglan introduced herself, "Little Sister Yue Er, can I call you that? I am Jincheng City's General Wei's daughter, Ying Lan. Speaking of which, sister went back to Jincheng and got married to someone. After the new year, I married into the Wind City.

Wei Yinglan's tone was extremely friendly, as if Jin Cheng was very intimate with her. As she spoke, she prepared to pull Yunsheng's hand, but she subconsciously dodged it. She glanced at Baili Yu who had a guilty expression, then turned and left without saying a word.

Wei Yinglan looked at Baili Yu innocently with a handkerchief in his hand, "What happened to her? Did I say something wrong? "

Although Yunsheng did not cry or make a ruckus, she had a wooden expression. She turned a blind eye to the bustling streets and focused her eyes on all the women that passed by, as though she was hoping to spot Mrs. Zhou and Ruo Lan from the crowd.

Seeing that the sky was gradually turning dark as cold as ice with thousands of drizzles floating in the sky, Yunsheng turned a deaf ear to the persuasion of the darkness. He could only instruct one of the guards softly to quickly leave while the others continued to accompany the seemingly calm but in fact, indescribably painful and disorderly Yunsheng around the city under the cover of the drizzling rain.

At midnight, Murong Yu finally appeared in front of Yun Shengyue with his guards. Looking at the lifeless look in Yun Shengyue's eyes, Murong Yu felt an incomparable heartache as he travelled day and night in a sorry state. Originally, he had just barely made it outside the city to rest for a while, but tomorrow morning, he would enter the city again, and after hearing the guards report of the Zhou family's disappearance, he ignored the city gates and entered the city through the walls, all for the sake of meeting Yue'er earlier.

Yun Sheng saw him opening his mouth but did not make a sound. He had already fainted because he had exhausted his psyche.

As she was being treated by the doctors, he had quickly dispatched his men to search for her. During this time, Yun Shengyue started to get angry, talking nonsense while feeling cold and hot all the time, and by the time she woke up, it was already the fourth day. According to the clues and analysis, the Zhou couple should no longer be in the Wind City, so searching blindly in the city was useless.

The entire Yun Family's small courtyard was already filled with guards from the Duke's Mansion, and although City Lord Xue Yi had secretly pledged his allegiance to the Qian Family, he did not dare to openly make an enemy out of the Duke of Qin. When Murong Yu came to the Wind City, he did not hide his whereabouts, and the crown prince knew that the people from the imperial court did not dare to touch him, so Qian Yulian now felt that Murong Yu did not have any problems with her plan, so she did not want to have any interactions with Murong Yu.

Thus, Murong Yu could still be considered to be at peace in the Wind City. However, the matter of the Zhou family's disappearance was too strange. Who would want to harm a sickly woman? If they were rich and didn't extort any information, could it be that the fact that they were searching for someone was too big that it frightened the robbers? He could only have his subordinates keep a low profile.

"Mother, I'm looking for my mother …" The moment Yun Shengyue woke up, she struggled to get up. She did not notice that Murong Yu, who had been standing beside the bed, had a haggard look on his face.

Murong Yu hurriedly held down Yun Shengyue and said, "You're sick. Don't move. Hurry up and take care of your body. Your mother has already sent people to look for her. There will be news soon."

"You … Is that true? Will you find my mother? " Due to the double blow, Yun Shengyue's mental and physical strength were extremely weak. She could only stare at Murong Yu with a pitiful and expectant look in her eyes.

"Of course, if you listen to me obediently and take care of your illness, we will definitely find your mother." However, a trace of unease flashed through his heart. She didn't have him in her eyes, she only cared about her mother. If something really happened to her mother, what would happen to her? Would she not hesitate to leave him then?
