Just now, the distance between her and Murong Yu wasn't that far. If he were to ride his horse and catch up, he should be able to catch up very quickly. After being gone for so long, even though she was entering the palace, couldn't he catch up to her and say a few words?

Also, he was also a prince, so even if he wanted to follow her into the palace, he should be able to. Why hadn't he come? This was the first time Yun Sheng felt that guessing a person's thoughts was too difficult.

Mrs Zhou did not notice the complex expression on Yun Sheng's face. She was slightly alarmed because she did not want to enter the palace. She was only a delicate woman in her entire life. As long as her daughter could lead a good life, she would be able to lead a peaceful and peaceful life.

That was why she was reluctant to interact with Qian Yulian. In the past, she had been able to avoid Qian Yulian as much as she wanted, but luckily, Qian Yulian hadn't paid much attention to her. However, now that she had invited them into the palace, it must be because of Yue Er's identity.

"Yue Er, it's the Imperial Concubine's birthday. Have you already prepared a present?" Madame Zhou suddenly thought of this.

Yun Shengyue retracted her thoughts and said, "Don't worry. I've already told the butler. He'll help prepare it and send it to the palace."

"Imperial Concubine probably has everything. I don't know what to gift her."

Yun Sheng said angrily, "Why are you worrying about this? Housekeeper Wang came from the palace and knows this best. I have already instructed him to be more important. He will definitely arrange everything appropriately."

"That's great. Alas, all those years ago it was thanks to esteemed imperial concubine and Duke Ming. Otherwise, the two of us would have …" Madame Zhou sighed.

Yun Shengyue's expression remained the same as she said, "That's right. With such a debt, if there's a chance, we have to repay it."

"That's right …" Zhou agreed.

"It's all the Yun Family's fault. If it wasn't for them mistreating mother, we wouldn't have to suffer so much." Thinking of the source of the commotion, Yun Sheng was still feeling infuriated.

Mrs Zhou immediately began to blame herself. "It's all because your mother was in trouble that she nearly harmed you …"

"Mother, don't always say that. How can I blame you? It's clearly their fault!"

"But …" Madam Zhou was still hesitating to speak up for Yun Chengling, "But your father doesn't know. Don't blame him."

"Don't blame him? It's fine if I don't know what happened in the past, but how did he treat you after he found us? Yun Sheng felt somewhat disappointed that he had failed when facing Mrs. Zhou.

Madame Zhou continued to argue, "That, that was only because it was bad for your mother. Your father was still …"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Mother, there's no need to be afraid of going to the palace. It's fine, we'll stay for two days. When the day of the Imperial Concubine's birth is over, we'll immediately return to the estate." Yun Shengyue somewhat unhappily interrupted Madam Zhou's words. Yun Chengling pretending to be good to her was only because he was the diligent princess. If he was truly good to her, he would not treat her mother like that.

She had always had a lot of questions, but now that her mother had returned to her side and her body was in a better condition, she was too lazy to question Yun Chengling anymore. In any case, she would never leave her mother behind, because she was used to the Zhou family not being able to resist when they were wrong, so she could only leave her by her side to take care of her.

The two of them entered the palace in silence. Although it was not a big celebration, the servants in the Blue Lotus Palace were still extremely busy and the birthday was tomorrow, but the masters of the palace and the various noble families had already sent over gifts one after the other.

Imperial Concubine Lian did not immediately receive Yunsheng and her daughter. She only ordered the palace maids to wait upon them and to see them when they were eating. Ya Lin Xuan, who had arranged for Yunsheng and the others to stay, was located in a secluded area in the southeast side of the Blue Lotus Palace. The room was already meticulously prepared.

After looking over the rooms and sitting down for a short while, a small palace maid came over to say that they could go have a meal. Yunsheng pulled the slightly nervous Madame Zhou and walked over, but just as she entered the dining hall, she saw Murong Fu, who was already sitting calmly at Imperial Concubine Lian's side. When he saw them come over, he immediately flashed a polite and happy smile.

At the entrance of the Mansion of the Duke of Qin, Murong Yu stood on his horse for a while before Black One reminded him of something. With a dark expression, he entered the Mansion.

"Call Butler Wang over."

Housekeeper Wang was busy in the storeroom, but when he heard that the prince had come back to the mansion, he quickly picked up his clothes and hurried into the study.

"How is the manor?"

"Thanks to Your Highness, everything is fine." Murong Yu's expression didn't look too good, and Steward Wang cautiously replied.

"Where's the wangfei?"

"Oh, Imperial Concubine Lian summoned the royal concubine and Madam Yun to the palace tomorrow morning. Not long after she left, someone from the palace suddenly arrived. Before leaving, the imperial concubine instructed the servant to prepare a congratulatory gift before sending it to the palace. This old servant is in the storehouse selecting his guests."

"Oh." So it was Imperial Concubine Lian's birthday. He let out a breath of relief when he saw her sitting in the imperial carriage at the entrance of the mansion. He had thought that it would be difficult for Murong Rong to bring her into the palace, could it be that he was overthinking? After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you can continue to prepare. Report to me after you're done. I'll personally send you to the palace later."

"Yes sir!" When Housekeeper Wang saw that Murong Yu didn't ask anything else, he quickly retreated.

After a while, Murong Yu took out a small golden lock with a simple texture and red string. He cut out a small piece of paper, wrote down four small characters on it, blew out the ink, and carefully folded it into a small square block that was smaller than the lock. Then, he took out a small golden key that was also tied with a red string and inserted a small hole in the bottom of the lock.

The Emperor saw it among many gifts, played with it for a while, and then casually gave it to Murong Yu's mother. The Emperor probably did not remember this, but his mother kept it and gave it to him before she died. This was something his mother had solemnly left for him.

"You are from the Spirit Eagle Palace? How could you be from the Spirit Eagle Palace! " In the pavilion by the lake, Chen Jue`er stared wide-eyed at the servant girl, Hong Liu, who had served her for two years. He was extremely surprised and astonished by her initiative to reveal her identity.

Hong Liu looked around at the empty area and carefully said: "What's there to be surprised about? Aren't you one too?"

"I …" Chen Jue-er was at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, the palace sent me to sell myself to the prince's mansion to help you. I've been hiding my identity all this time just to reduce the risk of being exposed."

"Then why are you revealing your identity to me now?" Chen Jue-er asked with some caution.

Hong Liu said, "I have been following Madam for the past two years, so I am naturally very clear about Madam's intentions. The reason why this servant revealed my identity to Madam is to let Madam know that I am always on Madam's side, and that I, like Madam, value the Prince!"

"You! So you actually had that kind of thought. " Chen Jue`er was somewhat surprised. Although Red Willow's words had the intention of betraying the Spirit Eagle, she felt that they were somewhat believable. "You should know the temper of the prince. Your entire heart is biased towards Yunsheng."

"That's why I'm revealing my identity. It's also because I want to advance and retreat together with you. Your highness will be returning home soon, so this time, we'll think of a way to attract your highness to Immortal Cloud Restaurant. Otherwise, you won't have a chance when your son is born."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Chen Jue`er stared fixedly at the red willow, as if he wanted to see through her.

Red Willow did not dodge and said with a pleased smile, "I naturally have a way. Yunsheng and Duke Ming, the childhood sweetheart, had a relationship. Duke Ming must have used Imperial Concubine Lian's name to invite her into the palace. If His Highness knew, he would definitely be angry. We must seize this opportunity and think of a way out."

"So you haven't figured out how." Chen Jue`er twisted her handkerchief, and asked with a glimmer in her eyes: "Lu Ping entered the house around the same time as you. Was she also sent in by the Spirit Eagle Palace?"

"No!" But back to the main topic, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will do my best to help you along the way and also help myself. If you are unwilling, you can just report me to the palace, and exposing your identity is also a capital offense, but in the future, you will also have to fight alone in the palace, and it's rare for you to make any progress! "

The words of Hong Liu were very truthful. Chen Jue`er hesitated for a moment, then said with some reservation, "It would be best if you could help me. I don't have any methods at all right now."

"Then listen to my idea and see if it works." Red Willow's eyes moved closer to Chen Jue'er.

"Alright, go ahead!"

"Madam, madam!" Before they could finish their conversation, Lu Bing, who was a bit reckless, ran towards them in a fluster while shouting from afar.

The red willow immediately walked behind Chen Jue`er. Before Green Pao could even stand properly in front of her, Chen Jue`er angrily shouted: "What is it that's so urgent? Shouting like this is not proper!"

"Madam, Prince, the Prince has returned to his residence!" Lu Lu's body shrank as she panted for breath.

"Oh, so fast. Didn't you run into the princess who had just left the palace?"

"I don't think so. The prince went back to his study by himself!"

"Madam, you haven't seen the prince in such a long time, you should go take a look right away." Red Willow interrupted.

Chen Jue-er glanced at her, then lowered his head to look at his attire before speaking, "That's right. Quickly prepare some tea leaves and we'll send them over to the prince."
