"Gongzi, that girl hasn't woken up yet. It seems like the odds aren't looking good …" In a small town not far from the Wind City, a grey-haired doctor said while shaking his head.

He did not want to hurt anyone, but that day, because there were a lot of servants in the Yun Family, in order to successfully take away the Zhou family, he brought Wei Yinglan and a few other people to attack. Who knew that this little girl would fight back with all her might? After biting a martial uncle, he was easily knocked down, and his head knocked onto the corner of the table. At that time, blood kept flowing out of his body and he fainted, he had originally wanted to bring Zhou away, but seeing that the little girl was injured and was still holding onto him, Zhou could only bring the two of them away.

Although the little girl had stopped bleeding, she was still unconscious, so the two of them couldn't catch up. She had no choice but to find a place to live, and had originally wanted to find a doctor to look for her before leaving, but she quickly received news from Wei Yinglan. She didn't expect that the Duke of Qin would arrive in the Wind City, and now, both teams were looking for them.

At first, Wei Yinglan wanted him to abandon them and take the Wei Residence and run away, but looking at the two women who were injured and one sick, he felt that it was caused by himself. He didn't want to leave irresponsibly until they were better, so he only let the Wei Residence's trusted aides leave, while he continued to take care of Zhou and Ruo Lan.

"Doctor, how is the lady next door?" Ji Wuya suppressed his worry and asked calmly.

The doctor said as he put away the medicine box, "The lady has a serious illness. She has been treated with medicine to ease her illness. However, it's not good to be this anxious. I'll prepare a few more prescriptions for the two patients."

"Thank you, Doctor!" "Thank you for your trouble." Ji Wuya took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over to him. He politely said, "I still need to borrow your medicine boy's help. It's inconvenient for you."

"No, Young Master has been too worried and hasn't had a good rest recently, take care of yourself." This doctor might not be familiar with Ji Wuya and his gang, but he was a loyal and sincere person. Furthermore, Ji Wuya was not a bad person, so even though he had his doubts, he did not ask any questions.

Only after the doctor left did Ji Wuya let out a heavy sigh, and walked back and forth twice, then he took out a bag from his shirt and opened it, and poured the contents into his hands, which were actually three sparkling and transparent pills. He looked at one of them for a while, and put it back into his storage, then the unconscious Ruo Lan fed one to Madame Zhou, then he thought for a while and walked back to Ruo Lan's room, and supported her up with her palm against her back vest.

"Your Highness! A dart message just found at the door. " Black One reported from outside the door.

Murong Yu, who had been guarding Yunsheng, who had finally fallen asleep, immediately stood up when he heard this. He walked out of his room, took the letter, and read it twice before asking Hei Yi in a low voice, "The letter said that it had already sent someone back to Jincheng. Do you think it's reliable?"

"This is too strange. Madam Yun has never been out before, so I really can't think of anyone who can take her away. According to the letter, if it's just sending her back to Jincheng, then there's also another possibility. That person doesn't want the prince or princess to stay in the Wind City …"

Murong Yu's eyes lit up. He thought for a while and said, "Your analysis is quite reasonable. It seems that someone does not wish for us to stay in the Wind City. Send someone to follow us back to Jincheng City first, and I will follow you."

Within the dark room, a weak oil lamp was flickering as if it was extinguishing its edge. A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothing sat inside the room with only his back visible. In front of him stood two men in their thirties, one tall and the other short.

"Is the news true?" He spoke coldly.

"Indeed, there's only a man with pretty good martial arts and a boy who's using medicine."

"Alright, the two of you bring a few more people over. Bring Mrs. Zhou over to me." The middle-aged man instructed in a deep voice, "If you want them alive, don't leave any tail for this old man, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

The two of them clasped their hands and prepared to retreat. The middle-aged man then continued, "If that person's martial arts is powerful, do not force him. Just lure him away and bring him back quietly."

"Yes sir!" The two of them nodded again and quickly retreated.

"Your Royal Highness, the Baili family is heavily guarded …"

"Stop arguing!" Murong Yu raised his hand to indicate for her. He glanced at the still dazed Yun Shengyue before getting out of the carriage and walking a little further away. He then asked, "What's going on?"

Black One reported, "We have left the Wind City's spies with reports that Baili Yu's manor is heavily guarded. Our men were discovered as soon as they entered the manor, so we have no choice but to evacuate. The manor temporarily does not have any news of them."

Murong Yu looked at the azure sky for a moment before saying: "With the Black Tortoise Camp's skills, they were actually discovered the moment they entered the mansion. Why are there such heavily guarded guards at the house of an ordinary merchant?"

"This subordinate also thinks it's strange. That Baili Yu should be quite skilled. However, every time he leaves his residence, there will always be quite a few hidden guards following behind him. He even possesses extraordinary skills."

"This king has asked you all to investigate the details of the Baili family. How about you all gather some information?"

The four brothers of the Baili family are now in charge of the old 200 mile mirror, in the main residence of the Wind City; the old 300 mile mirror is in the Jin City, the old 400 mile hanging in the Nan City, and the business is very big. Only the eldest 100 mile Ming died early, Baili Yu is the eldest son's only son; although it is only mother and son, he seems to be taken care of in the family because he is the eldest son left alone.

"Nan City? Wasn't South City near the Southern Barbaric Border Pass? Right now, the situation is in a deadlock and everyone is panicking. What kind of business are they doing? " Murong Yu narrowed his eyes.

"I heard it's an iron ore. It's not affected at all."

"Iron ore?" Murong Yu snorted lightly and stared at Hei Dao. "Tell Hei Er to personally lead the investigation. Investigate in detail. Find the clearest information and clean up the situation. Don't let the Baili family find out any further."

"Yes sir!"

"What about the news about Madam Yun?" How come there was no progress at all? It was impossible for a living person to just disappear like that! The Black Words Battalion have been too idle these past two years, haven't they? " They were on their way back to Jin City. Due to Yun Sheng's illness, the carriage did not move quickly. It had also been three days, and the people sent did not have any good news. Murong Yu was furious.

Black One was sweating profusely and drooping his head. Indeed, his recent errands had not been done well, and no one had expected him to be so watertight, not even allowing him to find any useful clues. However, this only proved that something was amiss, and it was not as simple as they had initially thought.

Murong Yu's cold gaze swept across the crowd. The guards beside him lowered their heads and looked at the silent carriage. He was anxious and angry at the same time. If it wasn't for Yue Er getting sick, he would have really wished to investigate it himself.

The group was silent. The atmosphere was so heavy that it caused everyone's muscles to unconsciously tighten. Suddenly, a rider came from afar.

"Reporting to Your Highness, our people have found the injured Miss Ruo Lan in a small town fifty miles to the northeast. Lady Yun is nowhere to be seen." The man dismounted and reported urgently.

Murong Yu quickly took a step forward and said, "Stand up and reply, why is Ruo Lan the only one here?"

This subordinate shall capture an apprentice alchemist and ask Madam Ming Yun and Miss Ruo Lan where they are temporarily taken away by a young man for medical treatment. At dawn today, someone in black led that man away and then brought Lady Yun away, and when we rushed over, we had a fight with that man, and after that young man heard our identity from us, he quickly left to find Miss Ruo Lan. If Miss Lan was still unconscious, then he would have already been brought over in a carriage.

"Continue the investigation. We must find Madam Yun!" Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, and Murong Yu couldn't help but clench his fists.

After checking that most of Ruo Lan's internal injuries had healed, she woke up after feeding him some medicine. However, she realized that her eyes could no longer see anything, so she assumed that her head had been hit, and that the blood had accumulated inside it. She could only observe for a moment to see if she could regain her senses by finding a doctor specializing in acupuncture when she came to Jincheng to try to dissolve the blood clot.

However, because of Ruo Lan's arrival, Yun Sheng's mind gradually cleared up. Seeing Ruo Lan in such a state of guilt, he insisted on travelling together with her and taking care of her personally. Everyday, she would only ask if there was any news from the Zhou family when she saw Murong Yu. She didn't want to say anything else.

Murong Yu was helpless and gradually became silent as well. The group of people travelled quietly every day as they sped up their pace. Seven days later, they finally arrived at Jin City.

"Miss, Big Sister Ruo Lan?" Yun Sheng and Ruo Lan were sent to the Clear Tide Courtyard. Cui'er had been waiting for them for a long time. She rushed up to see the two of them injured and sick. They were extremely haggard. Immediately her eyes turned red.

Yun Sheng saw that Cui'er still looked listless, "Cui'er, help me take care of Big Sister Ruo Lan."

"Is it little sister Cui Er?" Besides her blind eyes, Ruoran had recovered almost completely. She was very calm about her blindness.

"Miss, why have you lost so much weight?" Cui'er helped Yun Sheng carry Ruo Lan into the house. She still stuck her head out and looked worriedly at Yun Sheng. She felt as though she had returned to the month she was married.

As Murong Yu had instructed, a room at the Clear Tide Academy was already prepared. There were four to five maidservants attending to him, and everything was very comfortable. However, Yunsheng Yue did not notice any of this.

When Murong Yu saw Yun Sheng pass through the room without even looking back, he gave a few instructions before leaving with a calm expression.

"Madam, Prince has returned to his residence." In the Immortal Cloud Restaurant, Hong Liu immediately went to report after hearing the news.

"Oh." After recuperating for the past few days, she had completely recovered. During this time, Hong Wentao, who knew a lot about Murong Yu's movements, had secretly met her before. Fortunately, he had not given her any special task, and had only asked her to think of a way to become pregnant with Murong Yu as soon as possible.

Red Willow continued, "That … that wangfei is back too."

"Is that so?" "Chen Jue`er sat back down." "Go on."

"Princess and a blind woman came back together. Now that we are living in the Clear Tide Courtyard, I only took a few furtive glances at the door, but the princess looked very haggard, and the prince also had a heavy expression on his face. He did not enter the house, and returned to the Clear Mo Courtyard after standing for a while.

"Alright, I understand. Hurry up and prepare some soup and snacks, I want to send them to the prince." After Chen Jue`er finished instructing, she walked to the window and stood there silently. She was not in a hurry to go to the Clear Mo Courtyard.
