"Esteemed wangfei, eat something. Your body won't be able to take it if you don't eat it. If master knows about this, not only will he feel sad, he will also blame his subordinate." He knew that Yunsheng wouldn't care about her at the moment, but he would still consider matters on behalf of the prince and his subordinates. He had been advising her to eat a little these few days, or else he wouldn't have been able to hold on without eating and drinking.

As expected, Yun Kangyue obediently picked up the spoon and sent the porridge into her mouth in a large gulp. However, her tears fell uncontrollably like pearls with a broken string. When Black Thirteen saw this, he could not help but feel his nose turn sour and quickly lowered his eyes.

"Young master has some clues. Just now, some of my brothers from the south have sent a letter saying that they have found suspicious traces of someone taking their child to the south border!"

Upon hearing that, Yun Shengyue immediately put down the spoon and stood up anxiously. "Southern Wilderness? Then I want to go to the Southern Wilderness! "

"This, wangfei, is just a piece of news. It hasn't been verified yet, but our brothers from the south have already gone after them. Please don't rush."

"How can I not be anxious? It's all my fault, I can't even stand watching these two children …" However, the Spirit Eagle Palace's determination was absolute. Even if she was present, with the sudden incident, and the other party had the knockout drug in her hands, she would still not be able to withstand it. However, now that her child had been lost, she naturally did not think too much about it and could only hate herself for not constantly guarding the child by her side.

"Esteemed wangfei, how can this be blamed on you? It's all your subordinate's fault for failing to protect you …" Black Thirteen and the other three bodyguards blamed themselves even more in their hearts. The King had given them a thousand orders, but they had still lost the child, and they had not even confirmed the identity of the person who did it. Right now, it was the Spirit Eagle Palace that was the most suspicious, but that group of people who hid their heads and tail had fled faster than the mud loaches.

"Esteemed wangfei, don't be sad yet. This isn't the time for us to blame ourselves. It's more important to pull ourselves together and find the little prince." The always silent Black Seven said.

Black Thirteen immediately came to his senses, he was also serious, self-reproaching himself, how could he possibly feel sad together with the wangfei? He quickly put away his sadness and said: "Esteemed wangfei, Black Seven is right, it's better if we find someone. Master sent a letter saying that Black Two and ten brothers have already come to help us, and we're probably going to arrive soon.

Anything that could be investigated in Weinan City had already been investigated. It was impossible to travel by water, and countless nets had already been set up on the surface of the river. All ships had to be searched.

After Weinan City left, there was a mountain on one side and two roads on the south and east. These two gangs had already sent several groups of brothers to chase them down, and about thirty miles to the east they had found the waiter who had stolen one of the children. However, those people had been killed and their clues had been cut off.

After thinking about it, the child should have been saved, but the person who saved the child did not come to WeiNan City. No matter who saved the child, they would know that he was the grandson of the old gang leader, but they did not bring him back. Thinking about it badly, if the child was only taken away by someone who liked the child, then the child might not be able to come back.

As for the road to the south, it did not simply head south. After running for a hundred miles, they would be able to pass through two mountains, then return to the north through another route, or turn in any other direction. There was no way to confirm it. The current news was that those with children were heading south. Six or seven days had passed, and they were at least three or four hundred miles away.

The fishermen had prepared a few excellent fast horses for Yunsheng and company. As long as the information was slightly accurate, Yunsheng would definitely ride the fast horse and chase after them day and night.

There was a shallow brocade fish pond under a fake mountain. Little fishes in red, yellow, and white swam freely, sometimes nibbling the water lilies that stuck to the surface of the water. With the blooming purple water lilies, although the whole courtyard didn't look as grand as any corner of the Jade Palace, it was neatly and elegantly tidied up, making it fairly comfortable to live in.

For one thing, Little Lan in his arms was becoming more and more pink and interesting, and for another, Murong Chong had been taking good care of her these past few days. Furthermore, his sincere gratitude towards Ji Wuya had slowly resolved the knot in Ji Wuya's heart, making the two men become friends after getting drunk, not only did this make Madam Ji happy, it also made Wei Yinglan secretly happy.

Compared to the truth, the Li Palace had definitely left for a great cause. If Murong Hui didn't help her hide it, then her crime would not only bring disaster to the entire Ji Clan, but it would also implicate the entire Wei Manor.

His daughter was not famous yet, so he had called her Little Lan. This was also what the young prefecture lord called her: not only was this child pretty, but she was also very obedient. Usually, after eating and sleeping, she would not make a fuss and let everyone feel pain from the bottom of their bones.

The two of them hugged their treasured little Lan'er. Even when they looked at their child's eyes and opened them wider, they still felt that it was extremely adorable. If they could smile faintly, then that would make the two new parents even more happy.

As a son of the moon, Wei Yinlan's room was too hot to keep an ice bowl in. However, she was a person who had trained in martial arts, and had a famous doctor like Ji Wuya to look after her.

These two days, the time that Mu Rong Zhen spent with Wei Yinglan was a bit less, because there were a lot of messages that came in succession these two days. He didn't want the guards to disturb Wei Yinglan's recovery, so he always went to his room to listen and discuss things. Although he was in Ji Jia Village, he did not lose contact with the outside world. There were at least two aspects of the news that he had told them that it was about to be passed on to him at any time. One was the situation in the north-west and the south; the other was the whereabouts of Yun Shengyue and Murong Yu.

This made him feel more at ease in the Ji Jia Village. In the recent days, the Imperial Court had sent over a hundred thousand soldiers to support the Southern Wilderness, and it was rumored that it was also the idea of the city itself. Murong Fu did not know that there was Murong Yu behind the city, and he had always thought that he was a rare talent, but recovering the city was not as surprising as the news he had gotten.

This was because the former Sect Leader and the Sect Leader's wife did not have any own children, and the grandson was naturally not a relative either. However, this time, the gang members had all been sent out, and judging from the degree of importance they attached, the two children were no different from the ones they had been born with. Naturally, this was not strange, although Murong Ming had once had people pay attention to the movements of the gang, but that was because he was worried that the Northwest Rebellion would attack the West River, so he was paying close attention to the situation.

When he first heard this, he was worried that there was something wrong with the news, and then he found out that it was not wrong. Right now, even the small roadside teahouse in Weinan City was quietly discussing this matter, Weinan City was already not far away from the Wind City, and it was also the domain of the Baili family. The information they had gathered should not be wrong, but the Madame had left her house with a mask covering her face, and had not been able to confirm her identity.

But who else could she be? This could only mean that she had not died. Not only did she not die, she had even given birth to twins. It seemed that the people from Jincheng City did not know that the news had been sent by the people from the Baili family in the Wind City.

Murong Mingdeng did not dare to say anything to anyone else in the Baili family, but the Second Master of the Baili family was completely loyal to him, and without his permission, no information was allowed to be passed on to Qian Yuran. This was something that he had specifically summoned Baili Jing to tell him clearly, and Baili Jing was naturally a smart person as well.

He did so not because he was dissatisfied with Qian Yulian, but because he did not want to be tied down by her again. Whatever he wanted to do in the future would depend on his own authority, and he did not want to be controlled by Qian Yulian. He had listened to her for the past 20 years and had paid a heavy price for it.

"Princess, if there's anything you need, just instruct the servants to do it." Seeing that Wei Yinglan had put on her clothes and let the servant girl comb her hair as if she wanted to go out, the old nanny who had been waiting at the side stepped forward and said.

Wei Yinglan smiled, "I feel much better now. I want to go out for a walk. This house is too stuffy."

"How can we do that? The wangfei is still in the middle of the month, she can't leave home." The old wet nurse hurriedly stopped him.

"But this room is too stuffy. I just took a few steps outside the door. It should be fine, it's warm outside, and there's no wind." Wei Yinglan walked to the door of the outer room and looked outside. It was full of light, and although there was a slight heat wave, it was much better than the stuffy heat inside the room.

"This... "Esteemed wangfei's body is precious, if she were to be exposed to the wind …"

"It's fine!" He smiled and said to Wei Yinglan, "Although the custom is for this Yue Zi to obediently stay in the room for a month, the truth is that it's not the case. The weather is good, so it's better to walk around for a bit. Lan'er, you can come out for a while if you're feeling good right now, but it won't be too long, it's still warm outside."

"Fortunately, Senior Brother said he could. I even thought that I would have to stay in the house for a month." Wei Yinlan let out a sigh of relief when he finished, and walked out happily. There was indeed no discomfort in his steps.

"Since you came out, let's go to sit in the pavilion at the fake mountain for a while. I just told someone to go to Nameless Lake to gather a lot of pots. Ah Lai will take them to the kitchen to clean up and send them over after a while."

"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother. I like eating fresh lotus seeds the most. I will call for Ming to come over and have a bite to eat as well. I'm afraid he would rarely peel off these fresh lotus seeds to eat."

"Mm, you go and get them. I'll go to the pavilion first and wait for you there. At the same time, I'll have the servants prepare some more refreshments."

Wei Yinglan nodded her head and did not let anyone follow him. She walked alone towards the house that Murong Hui lived in. When she reached the door, she suddenly lowered her footsteps, wanting to give him a surprise. After all, this was the first time in over half a month that she had left her own house.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Murong Chong's agitated yet anxious voice, "Weinan City is already their territory. How hard is it to determine the identity of a person? Get them to find a few people who know Yue Er to confirm it."

"Yes!" However, this subordinate does not understand. If it was a royal concubine, why did she not return to Jincheng and instead bring her child south to Jiangnan? " It was the voice of Murong Ming's personal bodyguard, Wei Tian. Wei Yinlan's heart sank. She actually felt a bit of cold on this summer afternoon.

"If you ask This King, who is This King going to ask?" If Yue'er was still alive, then his guilt would be reduced. If it was really her, then the relationship between her and the fishing gang wouldn't be that extraordinary, and the torrent of water flowing under the Azure Dragon Cliff would definitely lead to the West River. If she was still alive, then she must have been saved by the fishermen on the West River.

The two of them were still in their infancy, so it meant that her child had also survived. If it was true, then it would be extremely good news. However, as Wei Tian asked, why didn't Yue Er return to Jincheng City and go further into Jiangnan? Did something happen to the Prince? Or was the King still alive? That didn't make sense either. How could Murong Yu let Yue'er and his child go into Jiangnan?

However, no matter how much he wanted to believe that Yun Shengyue was still alive, the people from the Baili family had seen Yue'er. As long as they were willing to think of a way, it wouldn't be too difficult to determine Yue'er's identity.

"Master, I advise you not to hold too much hope. If the Duke of Qin and his consort are still alive and have a child, how could we not inform the emperor? It's been three or four months, and the fisherman might have some sort of relationship with the Duke of Qin. Wei Tian was the son of the loyal servant of the Qian Family, Wei Wu. He had followed Murong Ming since he was young and their relationship was not ordinary. Thus, he would say whatever he wanted without any worries.

Mu Rong Zhen glared at him and said, "Yue Er treated you like a brother before, don't you want her to live?!"

"How could that be!?" "Although Sister Yue'er has married someone else, I still hope that she can live a good life. However, I hope that's too small. I'm afraid that Master will be disappointed again if the news is wrong." Wei Tian waved his hand and said.

"Sigh!" "Speaking of which, I've let her down. As long as she's still alive, I'm willing to do anything I'm asked to …" Outside the house, Wei Yinglan's heart was filled with bitterness. Her eyes reddened as she hurriedly turned around and left. However, she tripped over a small flower pot on the side.

When the people in the room heard the sound, they quickly came out. When they saw that it was her, Wei Tian helplessly shrugged his shoulders and walked away without any sense of loyalty.

"Lan, you haven't recovered yet. How did you come out?" Murong Yu hurried over to support Wei Yinglan, who was on the verge of collapsing.

"I'm fine. The room is a bit stuffy. I want to go out for a walk. Senior brother also said it's okay." Wei Yinlan lowered her head, not wanting Murong Yu to see her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Murong Hui knew that she had already heard what he had just said. Seeing that the silk handkerchief in her hand had been twisted into a ball, and how she had resisted the urge to ask him like this, her heart softened.

Wei Yinlan did not speak, but lowered her head even more.

"Are you angry?" He suddenly felt that Wei Yinglan's expression, which clearly seemed to be filled with anger, yet was still holding back from speaking, was actually a bit cute. He couldn't help but speak sincerely, "Lan, no matter if Yue'er is still alive or not, you're my wangfei. Do you understand?"

When these words came out, Wei Yinlan quickly raised his head. Ignoring the tears in his eyes, he tried his best to see the expression on Mu Rong Zhen's face as he said those words. How serious was he? Did he mean what she thought he meant?

I should have given her my blessings earlier. If it wasn't for my paranoia, she probably wouldn't have suffered that much on that day, so I've always blamed myself for being so happy to hear that she might still be alive. If she was still alive, I would still treat her well and care for her, but when she was my younger sister, she was originally my eldest sister. If I didn't care about her, I wouldn't have been able to do it. After Murong Mingtian had said all this in one breath, there was a hint of pain in his heart, but it also seemed to ease up a bit. What he felt more was an irrevocable regret.

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind just now. If Littlemoon was still alive, and if it was because Murong Yu was not here, she would not return to Jincheng City. On one hand, she might want to be safe; she might want to live a peaceful life with her child.

That's right! However, he knew that Yue Er wouldn't be willing. Although she was usually very easygoing, she was also very stubborn towards certain things, and she and Murong Yu already had a relationship between them. Furthermore, they had a child, so no matter how he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to be with another man, even if that person was him, who had cherished her for ten years.

So he wouldn't force her, and if she chose to go to Jiangnan, would she still like the old days? If so, he was willing to build her the best house in Jiangnan and let her live a comfortable life.

But if it was really her, then losing a child would definitely be an even deeper blow. Although he could let go of her, he couldn't not be concerned about her. She must live a good life, so he could be at ease.

"Lan, you still don't believe me?" Seeing that Wei Yinglan had lowered his head and remained silent, Murong Yu held her hand even more tightly. He knew that she loved him, and she was as determined as he was to love Yue'er. Even if he couldn't love Wei Yinglan like he used to love Yue'er, he had already decided to treat her well, so he naturally didn't want to see her sad.

"No, I believe you! I'm just so happy! " Wei Yinglan finally raised her head. Her tears were already flowing down her cheeks. No wonder she refused to raise her head.

However, she was happy because she never expected Murong Hui to say such words so quickly. Even if he could not do it, even if he still had Yun Shengyue in his heart, she was already very satisfied that he was willing to give up on chasing her.

In the past, Wei Yinglan's mother and her father, Wei Cheng, were married according to the wishes of their parents. At that time, Wei Cheng had other women in his heart, and then Wei Yinglan's mother had used her own consideration and care to win over Wei Cheng, and after that, even though Wei Cheng only had a daughter, he didn't marry anyone else because of that. Therefore, her mother would often tell her that a man's heart was actually very soft.

When she left the palace, she had already given up all hope. She could not wait for three years, because she believed that Murong Ming would only love Yun Sheng for the rest of his life. She did not care about the position of Duke Ming's wife, what she wanted was for her husband's heart to be with her.

But now, she finally understood her mother's words and didn't have too much hope. As long as half of Murong Chong's heart was with her, it would be good enough. She was willing to believe his words because she could feel his heart during the past half month.

"Lan, don't let me down in the future, do you know? The first time I saw you, did you look so beautiful while wearing red clothes and riding on a white horse? "Don't cry anymore in the future, tears aren't suitable for the cute Lan'er at all."

Wei Yinglan quickly broke into a smile. In fact, she also didn't want to always look like a spiteful wife, but it was also because Murong Chong had made her too disappointed. Originally, she had happily married into Jiangnan, but it wasn't long before she found out that her beloved husband had other women in his heart and loved them deeply.

"If you're really worried, you should go to Weinan City to have a look. If it's really her, then you won't know how sad it will be to lose your child." Wei Yinglan was really kind, and she didn't know how to act. At this moment, she had just become a mother and only knew how important a child was to a mother.

"I promised to accompany you. How could I not say what I wanted? Let's wait for the people from the Baili family to confirm first. If it's really her, then we'll help out when the time comes."

"Yes." Murong Hui used the word 'we', and Wei Yinglan was already satisfied.
