"Miss, Miss …"

"What?" Yun Sheng came back to his senses. Looking at Cui'er's depressed expression, he knew that he had been distracted again and that it had been a waste of his words.

"Miss, you are acting like this again. Cui'er said it all day for nothing."

Yun Sheng gave a comforting smile and said, "It's not for nothing. I know that Cui'er has suffered because of me."

"Cui'er is not afraid of being wronged. With Miss taking her in, Cui'er has been through many lives. Cui'er only wishes that Miss can release the knot in her heart and have a happier life." Although her young miss was a little cold, she had always treated her like a sister. She was deeply grateful.

"Cui Er, pack up. I want to go back to the courtyard tomorrow to see my mother." She understood her own intentions, but she placed too much importance on her status, which was why she was forcing her to marry into the manor. It was true that Murong Yu had not arranged for her to return, but it had been two months, and she had neglected to send anyone to investigate her mother's illness.

What could holding a grudge do? Yun Sheng looked out the window at the sky which had suddenly turned cloudy. She was at a loss. After all, her mother was the most important person in her heart. Married marriage was already a foregone conclusion, so she had to return and see her.

"Mistress, we only found out that the killer came from Jiangnan so the person behind the scenes has no clue." In the study room, a gray-robed man reported calmly.

Murong Yu put down the letter in his hand and said, "You've carried out three assassination attempts already, and you only managed to find this much information after searching for two months? "How in the world do you do things?"

The more he spoke, the more his voice got heavier. The grey robed man crawled on the ground, looking ashamed. "The assassin came suddenly, and even caught those two to commit suicide out of fear. This subordinate really couldn't find any clues."

"Mingyi, what do you think?" Murong Yu turned his head to ask the handsome man who had been sitting quietly by the side. That man was dressed in spotless white clothes and had a gentle expression. He didn't look as nervous as the others in the room.

Other than going to the southwest to pacify the chaos and exterminating all the rebels, the prince doesn't like making friends, but he hasn't made any enemies either. These three times, the assassin couldn't be sure if they were going to fight against the same party, so he thought it would be useless to investigate.

Murong Yu frowned and said, "Aren't we in a passive position now?"

"Your highness isn't willing to listen to my analysis, it would be hard to find anything even if you blindly investigate further." Chong Mingyi's tone remained gentle.

Murong Yu glanced at the people in the room and leaned back in his chair. "All of you can leave."

The few gray-clad men quickly retreated. Murong Yu continued, "Do you still think it was the Duanmu Family that did it?"

"Apart from that person in the palace, who else would want to put the prince to death?" Chong Mingyi's expression turned grave as he said, "Your highness's reputation is rising, and the prestige of the imperial court is growing. How can the Eastern Palace not be anxious?"

"I don't have any intention to fight, but is she really that worried?" Murong Yu laughed coldly with a silent expression. He did want to get the attention of his father, but it wasn't for the throne. He was just …

"Your Highness did not do it on purpose, but she did. She has painstakingly managed it for so many years, how could she just sit back and watch Your Highness come out? Besides, the crown prince's health is not good at all, so the situation is hard to predict." Chong Mingyi continued to advise him.

"Then what should I do? My actions are already considered low-key, what more does she want? " It was one thing for that woman to run amok in the imperial harem, and it was another for his mother to die young. Right now, he just wanted to live a comfortable life and help his father out, and there were many internal and external troubles in the country. He just wanted to help the country and work for the people, and like that he had become the target of their eyes.

For example, in the natural disaster in Huan City, the Prince had sent people to help the people with food. He was going to help the people, but in the eyes of the people, the Prince was fighting for the hearts of the people.

Murong Yu's eyes widened as he said with grief and indignation, "Don't tell me that I am going to leave you to your death?"

Of course we have to save him, and the reason why I followed him was not for the sake of fame or profit, Bei Heng has been safe for 50 years, the emperor is kind and benevolent, even the court officials are corrupt, all of this can only be changed by the prince, but the prince's status is noble, if you offend too many court officials in the future, it will be a disaster for you, and only the upper echelons can justify your actions, big swords, big axes, get rid of the old and replace them with the new ones, so that our Bei Heng will have a chance of survival...

"Alright!" I understand what you mean, so don't say anymore. I consider you to be a friend and a close friend, so I never hide anything from you. I'm very glad that I left the palace. If they really can't take me in, I can find a beautiful place to be and be a person in the wilderness. " Murong Yu's expression was solemn as a trace of exhaustion flashed through his eyes.

"Since Your Highness is like this, there's no need to investigate the reason for the assassination. Tomorrow, be more careful and quietly watch the situation. In the future, Your Highness will not step forward to deal with disaster and extermination, just leave it to Ouyang Mo."

"Mm, it's been hard on you guys. I'll continue to heal my wounds."

"Your Highness should go to the palace to see the carriage. The emperor has sent people to ask a lot of questions, but the prince has already become a relative after all. With his injuries, the emperor has exempted him from bringing the princess into the palace and returning home, but he will have to see her sooner or later."

"Humph!" The Prime Minister's expression is extremely tiresome. Even if I don't go to the Prime Minister's estate, what can he do to me? "

"The wangfei is only a woman from a boudoir, she's always innocent. Your Highness, why …"

"There's no need to mention her. If she's mad, then blame the people from the Yun Family. I will make a trip to the palace in two days. You guys can handle the rest."

"Yes. Your Highness, you should consider your words more. If not for yourself, then for your brothers. If not for the people, then for their sake, you don't need to think too much about this matter." After saying this, Chong Mingyi left gently.

Murong Yu sat there silently, his fists clenched tightly. He, Murong Yu, was not someone who could be slaughtered by anyone. If someone wanted to offend him, then he was not to be blamed for being merciless!

However, if royal father was at ease, he would have to find time to bring her to the palace. Growing up in the palace, he had seen many extraordinary beauties like snakes and scorpions, so his interest in women was not strong. All these years, only Jue'er had been by his side.

He had never thought of any other women, only found them troublesome. If there was any woman he could think of occasionally, it would be the woman he had met during his first assassination attempt, and that day when he had left the city, he had been in a bad mood as he galloped his horse around, dispersing with the guards. He had not expected that the assassin's skill was truly powerful, he had followed the leader of the imperial guards for ten years without being able to defeat him, had barely been able to wound him, and had also been stabbed.

Only because he was stabbed too suddenly, he didn't think too much about why the woman had wandered into the temple and should have brought her back to the mansion. At that time, he didn't dare to trust strangers, so he didn't tell Black Three to pay attention to her whereabouts.

He hadn't even seen her face clearly. He had only thought about the girl's softness and fragrance, but it always lingered in his mind, causing him to feel a wave of indescribable palpitations.
