Congratulations, your majesty has already received the news and is unable to contain his joy. Have this old servant bring someone out of the city immediately to wait for your majesty, your majesty even said he would come to the palace door to welcome your granny's phoenix chariot!" His eyes narrowed into a line. He was the most loyal to the emperor, and it was rare for the emperor to be so happy. Now that he saw that Imperial Concubine Lian was still as charming and charming as ever after ten years, he sincerely curried up to her.

How could the emperor not be happy when he found out that the two of them were still alive? Back then, she could not defeat the empress and had to avoid the danger, but now that the Duanmu family was no longer as strong as they were, she had a solid foundation outside the palace and returned to the palace to take advantage of the emperor's guilt. They would definitely be favored by the saint, and the empress was afraid that if the empress harmed them first, she would no longer have a place to stand in the palace and would have to think so urgently before returning to the palace.

He had initially thought that it was impossible for Murong Yu to be alive and become a barrier between them, but who knew that there were some things that had not been possible? If he had told Yue'er first, perhaps she would have been able to forgive him for his difficulties, but who would have thought that letting her know in such a situation would have been a huge blow to Yue'er? In her heart, he had definitely become a swindler. He had been constantly pondering how he could obtain Yun Sheng's forgiveness these past few days. Although Yue'er had always trusted him, once her identity was revealed, she would be his sister-in-law.

According to mufei's plans and the current situation, their opponents were the empress and the crown prince. Instead, they should've tried to rope the Duke of Qin in. How could mufei allow him to approach Yue Er? She had already enlightened him many times about this. Yes, he wanted all kinds of women, but Yue Er only had one. This little girl who was saved because of his request back then had already been carved into his flesh and bones for the past ten years.

Seeing that his mufei was in high spirits, he knew that nothing he said would be of use. The mufei had already asked the mama to remind him that if he insisted on finding Yue-er, if Yue-er had harmed her plans, she really would not hesitate to destroy Yue-er. One was his mother, who doted on him and abandoned the palace for his sake for ten years, and the other was a happy and loving person who grew up with him.

"… …." "I hereby bestow upon Imperial Concubine Lotus the title of Imperial Consort, bestowing upon the Jade Lotus Palace the title of Brilliant Light King from the second son of the Emperor, Murong Chong. The entire clan has rendered meritorious services to the Jade Palace, advancing to the next level in terms of merit …" Eunuch Liu was full of energy as he read out a long list of rewards smoothly. Everyone in the hall was full of joy. The court officials on both sides had long heard about the news and smiled without surprise.

As soon as Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he continued excitedly, "My beloved concubine, my beloved son, and my beloved son have returned from the dead. I am extremely happy that the palace is going to have a feast for three days, to celebrate the Wind City's tax reduction for a year and to grant a general amnesty for the world."

"Yes, master!" Long live the Emperor! " This was not a matter of principle or principle. The court official had no objections. The people who were already on Qian Yulian's side saw that she and the Second Prince were indeed blessed. They were naturally excited.

In truth, from start to finish, Murong Yu had been expressionless, not because he was unhappy with the return of Qian Yulian and her son, but because he had made his deductions beforehand, he had only verified his conjecture. Secondly, because it was only three days since Yun Sheng had left the Yun family and he had yet to hear any news about it, causing him to be extremely confused.

Within the Eastwood Palace, the plum blossoms were gone, leaving only a patch of emerald green. However, the lakeside was filled with fluttering green leaves and enchanting red flowers.

Inside the study, the crown prince, Mu Rong Qing, was sitting behind a large study table with a pale face. His black eyes were as unfathomable as the unfathomable depths of a pond while the absent-minded Murong Yu was standing in front of him.

"Why is royal brother looking for me?" He had already greeted Murong Fu, who was similarly unhappy. He had also seen the falsely smiling Imperial Concubine. In front of his father, they were on bad terms. Right now, Murong Yu only wanted to leave the palace and do his best to find Yun Shengyue.

He did not know what he was smiling at, nor did he know that his own wife had disappeared. He probably did not know that Yue Er had left, even if he knew, he would probably only use it as an excuse and would not be worried about her. Although Mu Rong Qing wasn't able to attend court due to his illness, he should know every detail of Imperial Concubine Lian's mother and son returning to the palace. Why did she insist on coming to him?

Mu Rong Qing looked at the nearby Yun Feiyang and said, "I was planning to head to the other palace to recuperate after my old illness, but now, my second brother has just returned from the palace, so it isn't appropriate for me to leave the palace. The Southern Champion Kingdom came a few days ago to resolve the conflict with me, Bei Heng, and to send the princess to our marriage. Father asked me what I wanted to do and I don't want to marry anymore.

"Forgive me, Junior Brother Chen, for being unable to comply!" He already understood the meaning behind the crown prince's words. Royal father must have wanted the crown prince to marry Princess Nanke, but the crown prince had never been interested in women and was not in good health, so the only ones left were him and Murong Ming. If Murong Ming were to marry the Southern Champion, then Imperial Concubine Lian's faction's bargaining chip would be even greater, and the empress would naturally not be willing to marry him.

Mu Rong Qing coughed twice as he looked at the displeased Murong Yu: "I know Little Brother Yu is probably unwilling, but didn't you previously investigate the relationship between the Baili family and the Southern Champion? Now that Royal Father has recovered, he is extremely happy and left the Second Emperor to live in the palace, which is against the rules. If Second Brother were to be married to the Southern Champion, Mother would definitely be even more unwilling.

"Chendi understands what Imperial Brother means." Murong Yu's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew that the crown prince hoped that he would be able to stand on his side, but he didn't point it out. He still refused: "Royal brother can send any mission to Chendi, but regarding the marriage alliance … Sorry, Chendi can't agree. Chendi has already decided to never marry again for the rest of his life!"

When Mu Rong Qing heard this, he was slightly surprised. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the resolute Mu Rong Yu before chuckling, "Everyone knows that Junior Yu is cold and heartless, but …"

With a complicated expression on his face, he looked outside the window at the expressionless and taciturn Mu Rong Yu once again and said: "I won't force Brother Yu. Since it's like this, let Second Imperial Brother marry the Southern Champion Princess. Royal Father will definitely approve of it. Little Brother Yu and Yue'er should have a good time together, and that's why I'm being inconsiderate, I hope Brother Yu doesn't mind."

"Royal brother is doing this for my brother's sake. How could I not know what's good for me? Actually, I have a request for you as well." Murong Yu raised his head and said with a firm expression.

"What is it?" "Brother Yu, feel free to speak." Mu Rong Qing was surprised once again. Mu Rong Yu had never begged him for help before.

Murong Yu said, "Since Nanke is already willing to make peace with my country, there's no harm in closing the gap there. Second Imperial Brother Chendi has already come into contact with him and is also a capable person. With him coming back to assist the imperial government, I'd like to take a long vacation.

"Long vacation? At this time? No! royal father, even if you allow me to do so, I am not allowed to! " Mu Rong Qing's expression changed. He couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. Did he leave the court at this time to avoid the danger or to watch the battle from the sidelines?

Murong Yu must have understood his misgivings. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yue Er left a letter to go find her mother three days ago. Since my disciple sent people to look for her, she must have already left the Jin City.

"Yue Er left the mansion alone for three days?" Although Mu Rong Qing had eyes, he had been focusing on the matter of the mother and son returning to the palace, so no one noticed Yun Shengyue. A trace of unfathomable emotion flashed past his eyes as he looked at Murong Yu once again.

The horse was an ordinary horse with mixed hair and the green robe was neat and tidy, but the young man's face was a dull yellow, as if he had something on his mind. However, there were caravans on the public road, and there were also small merchants and people from the martial arts world traveling alone.

Even though she was feeling very surprised, she did not completely lose her reason that night. After rushing out of the door, she was immediately sobered up by the cold wind, and even though she blamed Murong Yu in her heart, she knew that he had a drunken mess so she mainly blamed herself for being useless. He was going to leave anyway and had already packed up well, so she secretly went back to her room to change her clothes, feeling extremely depressed and slipped out of the manor that very night.

On the second day, she had met some people from the Wang Mansion who were looking for someone, but in the past, she did not appear that often. Now that the modification had been completed, no one doubted that she would naturally ride her horse, but many carriages had been searched thoroughly.

Although she was extremely worried about the whereabouts of Madame Zhou and wished that she could search for it herself, she did not have any clue when she actually left the manor. She had asked Ruo Lan about it, but unfortunately, her knowledge of the other party's injuries and comatose state was limited, so she concluded that he did not want to injure her. However, her mother's health was not good to begin with.

At this moment, she still did not know that Baili Yu was already in the Jincheng City Palace, and when she closed her eyes at night, she would always think of Murong Yu, who had gone crazy with emotions. Although he had taken advantage of her without caring about her wishes, he had always kept mumbling her name, and he had always said that he liked her, what a mess! She often hit her head in an attempt to drive Murong Yu and that night out of her mind, but she couldn't do anything about it.

If she did not have the matter of finding the Zhou family to support her, she would have collapsed. Baili Yu, who she had trusted and relied on in the past, had already changed his heart, her mother was missing, Ruo Lan was blind, Cui'er could not help, and Murong Yu... She couldn't find anyone she could help. What was the reason for her being alive?

Chen family town, a town with no more than two hundred households. The streets were considered clean, but there was only one inn. Yun Sheng was lucky enough to live in a small guest room in the last backyard. The sky quickly darkened. Her face had already been washed, and her long black hair had naturally been let loose. She leaned against the window and stared blankly. The dinner on the table didn't move at all, and there was no light in the room.

The person who had suddenly entered through the window alarmed her. Just as she stood up, a shining sword had already been placed horizontally on her shoulder.

"Don't make a sound!" It was the voice of a man with unstable breathing. It sounded young, and a thick smell of blood rushed up his nose.

Yun Shengyue originally wanted to say nothing, but she had been instinctively shocked. She was not afraid of death, so she ignored the sharp blade on her neck and coldly said, "You must be injured. I have some medicine here."

This was not a lie. It was not easy to leave the house in advance. Other than clothes and money, there were also some commonly used medicines. After closing the window, Yun Sheng walked straight to the bed and placed the Golden Sore Medicine on the table. Then, he quietly sat down on a nearby stool.

The man was somewhat surprised by her calm and clear voice. He hesitated for a moment, then put away his sword, walked to the table and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "I won't hurt you, but I will be hunted down and have to borrow your place to hide. If you don't make a sound, when my followers find you, I will reward you handsomely!

Yun Shengyue did not say a word. She was troubled by herself, so she could not be bothered with the matters of others.

The room was dark. The duo faced each other in silence. The person did not use any Gold Healing Medicine, nor did Yun Shengyue make a sound. As long as he did not cause trouble for her, she could pretend that he did not exist.

It was a pity that things didn't go as people wished. Not long after, sounds of "Ding Ding Dong Dong" could be heard from outside the room. Occasionally, there were rough shouts and short screams.

"The person must have entered this courtyard to search!" With a cold and stern shout, the footsteps began to rush to the guest rooms in the courtyard. Yun Sheng remained motionless as the person quickly got up to look outside the window, but he did not move.

The light seeped in through the window and the situation inside the house could already be seen. The person was tall and slender, with a distinct outline. From the way he acted just now, he did not seem like an ordinary person.

"You hide behind the screen first, there are a lot of people searching one room at a time, I don't want to implicate you!" As the person spoke, he turned to look at Yun Shengyue. At that moment, she was dressed in plain white. Her face looked exquisite and moving, but her expression was somewhat cold. Her black eyes stared at the approaching person without moving. The light outside the window was brightly lit, and the person who saw it couldn't help but be taken aback.

Previously, he had felt that the person in the room was a girl, but he hadn't thought that it would be such a beautiful and elegant girl, or such an unusually quiet girl.

"Perhaps the one hiding is you!" Yun Shengyue gave him a cursory glance and said indifferently as she turned to look out the window.

However, the person that came was not nervous at all. Instead, he calmly looked at her, as though he had recovered from his shock. Suddenly, with a regretful tone, he said, "It's a pity that when we met, you were in the wrong. There are too many unruly grasshoppers outside. Tell me your name, and I will come looking for you in the future!"

Yun Sheng said coldly, "There's no need!"

"So it turns out that the young lady is even more unromantic." The person did not care about Yun Sheng's attitude. Instead, the interest in his eyes burned brighter. He wanted to say something, but the door to the guest room was kicked open. The dazzling firelight quickly illuminated the room.

Someone shouted, "People are here!" Before he could finish his sentence, the two of them had already fallen to the ground. The people behind them immediately stopped and carefully dodged to the side of the door.

The head did not turn back as his hand only moved slightly. He looked at the expressionless Yun Shengyue before sighing and charging out the door. He quickly rushed into the yard and surrounded his pursuers. As for Yun Shengyue, she remained seated and did not move.

Outside the house, the man's voice was loud and resounding, "This king is the envoy of the Southern Champion Kingdom. This trip has already concluded a peace agreement with Bei Heng. When two nations engage in war, it will be a waste of money to work for the people. Do you really want to become a sinner in the ages?! "

However, the others did not retort. It was only the sound of swords and sabers that responded to him, and from the looks of it, those people truly wanted to assassinate the Southern Champion. It seemed like she had heard that Bei Heng and the Southern Champion had confronted each other at the border for more than half a year, and war seemed to be breaking out soon. Although it was just a small fight, it had consumed two hundred thousand soldiers. Wasn't this clearly trying to start a war?

The handsome man in the yard had battled against ten people and had engaged in an intense battle. However, he was skilled in martial arts and his attacks were ruthless. In an instant, he had suffered quite a number of injuries and deaths, but he was unharmed.

"Catch her!" Suddenly, two men in black charged towards her. One of them shouted, "Capture that girl quickly. They should be in the same group!"

Immediately, three to four people came at the same time towards Yun Sheng. What a bunch of bastards! When she heard that these people wanted to destroy the peace between the two countries, she had already felt extremely disgusted with them. Furthermore, they were clearly pursuing that man, yet he had said that they had joined hands and were extremely vicious.

Yun Sheng dodged the projectile and quickly took out his sword. However, the handsome man, who was having a smooth battle outside, turned around nervously when he heard the commotion. He immediately used both his hands to rush towards the guest room with all his might …

There were many assassins. Although the man was anxious, he couldn't rush over due to the entanglement of several people. Fortunately, he saw the two men who had rushed into the room retreat in a fluster.

Although Yun Shengyue did not have much combat experience, what she held in her hand was an extraordinary sharp sword. With a single strike, she had shattered the weapon in the hands of the two black-clothed men. The sharp wind from the sword was why they had no choice but to retreat.

Yun Sheng's attack had worked, but he did not give chase. He only walked out of the door and shouted, "I'm just a guest here. If I don't want to bother you, you shouldn't bother me either!"

There were too many people outside. Although she hated them, she didn't want to overestimate herself and act impulsively. When the man saw that she was fine, he let out a sigh of relief. He had no time to think about why he wanted to protect this girl that he had just met.

And when the black-clothed person heard her words, although he had temporarily paused his attack on her, there were still two or three people left vigilantly holding their swords. However, the situation of the man in the yard was becoming increasingly grim, because there were still people dressed in black that were constantly rushing into the backyard from the front hall of the inn.

At the same time, one of the black-clothed men who had his sword slashed down at Yun Shengyue without saying a word. Yun Sheng raised his sword to defend and the other black-clothed men immediately attacked as well. At the same time, one of the black-clothed man who had his sword slashed down immediately took out another weapon and attacked Yun Shengyue without saying a word.

"Follow me. Hold on for a while longer and my people will arrive." The man's forehead was already dripping with sweat. It was obvious that he was extremely anxious, but he was also very protective of Yun Shengyue.

Yun Shengyue felt vexed and sneered, "Who wants your help? These people are looking for you anyway. What does it have to do with me!"

However, the black-clothed man did not argue, simultaneously besieging the two without holding back. Thankfully, not only was the Southern Champion man's swordsmanship brilliant, the flying dagger in his left hand often won in an odd way, and the blade did not miss a beat.

Due to anger, his attacks began to become sharper, specializing in cutting off weapons and injuring arms. However, the other party seemed like an endless stream of people, with Yun Shengyue having insufficient stamina and having her body cut a few times when she was not fully prepared. Thankfully, the wound was shallow, but the blood that oozed out was eye-catching even when stained by her white clothes.

With a shout from the Southern Champion man, both his hands began to dance. Soon, a circle of black-clothed people fell down from the surroundings. He said solemnly to Yun Sheng, "Come this way, break through the encirclement with me!"

He could only follow the man and kill his way towards the wall. Although there were many black clothed people, they managed to reach the wall in an instant with their lives on the line. At this moment, there were two long howls coming from not far away outside the wall.

At this time, the two leaders who had been standing behind them without moving suddenly took action at the same time. A long sword and two shiny concealed weapons shot over, and the Southern Champion man coldly laughed as he swung his sword to knock the two of them down. This subordinate will wait for a moment! "

Just as the Southern Champion turned around to jump, the other two even more ferocious concealed weapons had already reached his back. Yun Shengyue hurriedly brandished her sword to block, but her wrist was restrained by a long black whip.

After saying this much, in fact, it was in the blink of an eye. When the Southern Champion man jumped out, the person that fell was naturally Yun Shengyue. After saying this much, in the blink of an eye, the Southern Champion man jumped out, and the person that fell naturally was Yun Shengyue.

"You can't!"

"Miss!"

These were the last two sounds Yun Sheng heard. He had already lost control of his body when he fell and slammed into the ground. When he landed, his head hit a rock at the base of the wall and he instantly lost consciousness...
