The news that Murong Yu was still alive had not spread to the Mansion, but Cui Er had been scolded by him, so not only had she taken care of Mrs. Zhou with all her heart, her mood had also improved a lot. No matter what, Cui Er had been saved by Yun Sheng.

He hoped that she would not give up. If the Duke and the Royal Consort ever came back alive, and something happened to Madam Yun during this period because of her grief, what could they use to explain it to her? The Royal Concubine would be hurt, and Cui'er would nod her head repeatedly when she said this, so she naturally understood that the one Yun Sheng Yue cared the most about was Lady Yun.

The Mansion was filled with flowers, and those flowers did not die out just because their master was gone. Although some of the servants had left, most of them were still there. Under the arrangements of their stewards, the Mansion was kept in a neat and orderly state.

The ones that opened the most were the roses, bright red, pink, yellow, and pure white. They opened layer after layer, piled up around the green wall, giving people a feeling of extreme warmth.

However, Mrs Zhou was always sad to see these flowers. They were flowers that Yue'er and she loved very much. Therefore, Yunsheng had planted many flowers under the windows of her house. She could not ignore them even if the house was in full bloom.

"Madam, don't be sad anymore. Miss and Prince did not receive any news, but it is actually good news. They must be fine, they might have been hindered by something and were unable to return in time. They will definitely return later." Cui Er's thoughts were not complicated to begin with. Since she had been persuaded by Black One, she came to a deep understanding. Although Black One did not say anything, she still felt that they were still alive.

However, her mood was very low and she could not eat. If Cui Er and Ruo Lan weren't there to comfort her, she probably wouldn't be able to continue on. She was completely disappointed in Yun Chengling, Yue'er was her life's most precious child.

Ruo Lan, who was sitting quietly at the side, also said softly, "Cui Er is right, Yue Er and the prince will be fine. They will definitely return safely."

It's already been two months, why would I not come back if I have nothing better to do? You all don't have to comfort me, Ruo Lan, if it wasn't for the fact that you've suffered so much along with me, and your eyes can't be cured, I really don't want to live if no one will take care of you after I go. Madame Zhou really did feel sorry for Ruo Lan, and had accepted her as her foster daughter, treating her as one of her own. In Wind City, Ruo Lan had accompanied her, and later on, because she had to protect her injuries, she had lost her sight. Her young eyes would be ruined, and it would be hard for her to find a husband.

Ruo Lan lowered her eyes. She was feeling extremely sad, but she could not say anything. She had always thought that if she had told that news to Yun Shengyue or Murong Yu earlier, it might not have happened. However, she still told the other person that she had no other choice. Her brother and sister-in-law, as well as her family's lives were in the hands of others, but she had still betrayed Yun Shengyue, who was like a blood sister to her own family. Now, Madame Zhou still treated her like her own daughter, making her feel both guilty and regretful.

"Madam, you need to calm down. I believe that Miss will definitely come back. You need to take care of your health before you can relax. Otherwise, when Miss comes back, you will be sick and you will be sad again."

"Sigh!" "In any case, the child in Yue Er's womb is about to be born. I don't know if it's a man or a woman. If I can give them a hug or two in this life, I'll be able to rest in peace!" Women were always like this. As long as someone tried to comfort them, they would feel a little better. Perhaps, from the bottom of her heart, Madame Zhou was unwilling to believe that Yun Shengyue had died, so she was still fantasizing.

Cui'er also said: "That's right! "Miss might have delayed her return because she wanted to give birth, and because there are so many bad people in Jincheng, Miss might be afraid that someone would harm my son, so she didn't come back. Once the situation is stable, they will definitely come back, and I'm sure that the little prince or princess is very beautiful and smart. Just thinking about it makes people love her, I really hope she can stay by my side all the time …"

The women spent their days in this kind of fantasy. You have to comfort me, I have to comfort you, only then can the days go by. What Murong Yu did was to not tell them the truth, but give them a glimmer of hope. As long as there was even a sliver of hope, they wouldn't despair and lose their lives.

Hong Liu already didn't have much hope for Murong Yu and the others to live, so she had wanted to leave long ago. However, in order to set up the formation map, she delayed it for a long time and couldn't find a good opportunity to make a move. Fortunately, the guards in the manor had all sent out their full strength to do something, so she took the opportunity to sneak into Murong Yu's study to find the hidden formation map.

However, Chen Jue`er had refused to leave in the end. She had stayed at the Duke's Mansion for almost four years, and yet, she was the most at peace and comfortable. She truly could not bear to part with the Duke's Mansion, nor could she bear to part with Murong Yu.

"Jue'er, I'll ask you one last time whether or not you're coming with me. If you don't leave now, I can't wait for you any longer." This time, Hong Liu finally made up her mind. It was mainly because Hong Wentao had been urging her to do so. She had already obtained her Diagram Array for a few days, so she didn't tell him about it.

Although the guards of the Black Wind Army were busy outside searching for Murong Yu and the others and no one paid any attention to them, she was afraid that if they noticed one day, they would cause some trouble.

Red Willow, I think it's time for you to leave. If I followed you, I would be a burden to you, and if I followed you back to the south, then even if my family members were still there, who would care about me? And I'm married, so there's no good way for me to survive. If Murong Yu really wasn't there, she would have to live on. As long as she had money and status, she would still be Murong Yu's concubine, and no matter what, she would be the master of the palace. The Royal Family would also have to come to the Duke's Mansion every month, which was more than enough for her to live.

"Alright then!" But if you don't want to leave, I won't force you. Maybe if I leave and the King is gone, then you lose your value and they can let you go, and you can live a peaceful life in peace. You can always take care of yourself and save up some money in your hands, and it will be more convenient if you have any new plans in the future.

"Mm, I understand. You be careful too. If …" "If you can't pass, come back to Jin Cheng …" In the past, other than Murong Yu, she had never cared about anyone else. However, in these past two months, Murong Yu had not sent any messages and it had always been Hong Liu accompanying her to comfort her. As such, she felt some attachment towards her.

Then I'll leave quietly tonight. When the time comes, just tell the butler that I've sneaked out, and that there are people in the manor who have already run past, so no one will notice. As for the formation diagram, you can pretend that you don't know anything.

"Alright, I'll give you the silver. As for that Hong Wentao, he is very cunning. You have to be careful around him. If …" If you can find your family, you can send me a letter. "

"Yes." After all, the two of them came from the same place, so they had some friendship. Although their statuses were different in this mansion, there was nothing to compare them now.

"Your highness, why have you come to this humble subject's residence?" Wei Cheng's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, and his expression was even a little cold. Even though the letter Wei Yinglan left them did not mention anything about Murong Chong, he knew that something must have happened between them before Wei Yinglan left.

Murong Yong didn't really care much about Wei Cheng's tone, so he continued to say politely: "Greetings, father-in-law! His son in law also suddenly received a letter, so he hurried over. He wanted to discuss it with his father-in-law. "

"You and I will meet in the imperial court today. If you have anything to say, you can say it anytime. Why did you come all the way here?"

"But a son-in-law needs to talk about family matters."

"Family matters? Is there news of Lan'er? " Wei Cheng immediately became excited. Although he was very angry at Wei Yinglan for running away from home, how could he not care about his daughter?

"Father-in-law, please look!" Mu Rong Zhen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Wei Cheng hurriedly took it. After quickly reading it, he exclaimed: "Lan'er is in Ji Jia Village? Is this true? I've sent people to Ji Village to look for her. They said she didn't go, and … Lan'er was actually pregnant. She didn't even say anything about such a huge matter. This child is too willful … "

"Looking at the date of this letter, she might have suffered some complications in the middle. Right now, Lan'er is probably going to have a baby soon. But right now, there's an urgent matter in the court, so I really want to personally bring her back, but …"

"I understand. I will send someone to pick her up. I will bring her back no matter what." As Wei Cheng said this, he was actually unhappy in his heart.

"I'm afraid Lan`er won't come back."

"Then go and fetch her yourself. Nothing will happen during this court session. Although Lan'er didn't say anything, she won't leave home for no reason. It must be because you hurt her heart that she's allowed to leave with her child …" Wei Cheng had a bellyful of fire, but it was not good to flare up. It was just that his voice was getting louder and louder.

"Actually, I knew about it when Lan'er left. My men saw her leaving with her senior brother Ji Wuya …"

"Then why didn't you stop her!" Wei Cheng asked angrily. He glared at Murong Ming and suddenly reacted by clenching his fist: "Are you suspecting that there is a problem with my daughter's character? Let me tell you, although my Lan'er is a little headstrong, she always has a sense of propriety. If it wasn't for her liking you and wanting to marry you, regardless of whether you're a prince or not, I wouldn't have agreed to your marriage. She and Wuya grew up together, and we're like siblings, and we have no relationship at all.

"Father-in-law, I know that I did not take good care of Lan'er. I am willing to personally bring Lan'er back." He believed in Wei Yinglan's character, but he didn't think that Wei Yinglan would leave with her child. He originally wanted to give her freedom since he couldn't give her his heart or take care of her, but as long as she was happy, it would be better for her to stay in the palace and stay depressed all day.

"It's useless to speak of that now. Lan'er having news is always a good thing, these days, her mother and I have been worried about her day and night. The situation is unstable now, so we shouldn't have let you leave the Imperial City, but with Lan'er's temper, if you don't go, she might not be willing to come back." "It should be fine if I forcefully bring her back, but …"

"It's better if I go. The safety of the Imperial City still depends on you." When Murong Huai came, he was a bit hesitant, but now he suddenly made up his mind. Actually, he wasn't happy inside the palace, or maybe it would be better if he went out for a walk.

"Then after tomorrow morning, I'll accompany you to report to the emperor. We still need to bring a few more guards."

"Don't worry, I will be careful!"

"You can't be careless when going out. You must make proper arrangements, or else, if something happens, this old man will not be able to take responsibility." The crown prince and the diligent king had been killed one after the other. How could he not worry about Mu Rong Ming's safety?

"As I see it, acting in the dark is safer. There's no need to spread the word."

Mm. Let's discuss this further. I don't know if Lan'er has a son or a daughter, but I'm finally going to be a grandpa …" After all, it had been a long time, and now that Wei Yinglan had not only gotten the news, but also the news of the child, Mu Rong Ming was willing to personally come and pick her up. Of course, it was worth it to be happy, but none of them doubted the authenticity of the letter.
