Yun Mo remained silent, his formerly handsome face was already stained with scum, making him look particularly downcast and haggard.
"Yunmo...are you anxious to die as a mother?" Mrs. Ye had no choice but to cry angrily, and the white porridge in her hand was gradually cooling down.
"Can you please say something? Mother, please!" Mrs. Ye really had no choice. Seeing her proud son become like this, she was really heartbroken!
Faced with Madam Ye's persuasion, Yun Mo didn't react at all, and didn't even blink his eyelashes.
In his heart, he would never forget the image of Qingcheng kneeling in front of Murong Jue. She was so different, yet she had to beg others so humbly, but he... was powerless!
He hates himself, hates his own incompetence, hates the whole world...
"boom!"
A sudden noise made Madam Ye turn her head suddenly, looking at her daughter who burst in with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, it's not good!" Ye Linglong shouted urgently. Madam Ye's face turned pale in an instant, and some of the white porridge she was holding in her hand spilled out.
"What's wrong?" Madam Ye put down the white porcelain bowl and stood up immediately and asked.
"Dad...Dad had an accident in the palace!" Ye Linglong was also nervous, her bright eyes full of worry and confusion.
"What happened?" Madam Ye's heart suddenly rose to her throat. If something happened to the pillar of Ye Mansion, I am afraid that other people in Ye Mansion would not be able to escape the disaster either!
"Dad accidentally bumped into the prince in the palace and broke the Ruyi pearl bottle that His Royal Highness was going to present at the 'Fourth Palace Presentation'!" Linglong said, feeling very scared in her heart. You know
It is no longer a trivial matter to bump into the prince, and now he has broken the gift presented by the fourth palace. If this matter is pursued, I am afraid that the whole Ye family will be implicated.
"Then...how is the master doing now?" Madam Ye's hands were trembling with anxiety. She really had no idea at all!
"I have been imprisoned. If the prince doesn't release me, I'm afraid..." Linglong didn't dare to say any more. This matter is related to the 'Fourth Palace's contribution'. Even if she goes to the emperor to ask for help, she may not be able to get a change.
"Then... what should we do? What should we do?" Madam Ye became anxious and paced back and forth.
"Mother..." Linglong is also a boudoir lady and has no opinion. Now that such a big thing has happened, she can't help.
"I want to go to the palace to see the prince!"
Just as mother and daughter were in confusion, Yun Mo, who was half sitting on the couch, finally spoke.
The hoarse voice revealed his physical weakness, but he was also a tall man, and he could bear this physical injury!
Yun Mo's response gave Madam Ye and Linglong hope. In their eyes, as long as the man in front of them could cheer up, he could hold up the sky above their heads!
After Yun Mo cleaned up, he returned to his handsome self, but his bright eyes seemed to be covered by black gauze, and they looked gray no matter how he looked at them...
"Yunmo, your father's life or death depends on you!" Madam Ye and Linglong said as they walked him to the door. Whether General Ye can come back safely today depends on him!
Yun Mo just nodded without saying anything, walked down the steps, jumped on his horse and headed straight to the prince's residence!
This morning in the palace, the news that General Ye was taken into custody by the prince quickly spread among the ministers of the palace. Naturally, such news could not be hidden from Murong Jue's ears.
The fifth prince, Murong Zhan, has already obtained Concubine Hua's red coral as entrusted by Murong Jue, and is now on his way to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Just when Yun Mo was riding his horse, he happened to pass by His Highness the Fifth Prince's carriage. Because of this, Murong Zhan in the carriage raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but secretly thought: Ye Mansion is really in trouble now!
The slowly moving carriage quickly distanced itself from the speeding Yunmo, and it didn't take long for Murong Zhan to arrive at Prince Chen's Mansion.
Manager Li had already been waiting at the door on Murong Jue's order. When he saw His Majesty the Fifth Prince dismounting and approaching, he smiled eagerly and said, "Good luck to His Majesty the Fifth Prince!"
"Where is my imperial brother now?" Murong Zhan asked as he walked.
"The prince is meeting guests in the side hall, please come this way!" Manager Li led the way and took Murong Zhan to the flower dance hall to wait.
Murong Zhan didn't say much. A long time after he sat down, a maid offered him the best fragrant tea for him to enjoy. While he was waiting for Murong Jue to come, Qingcheng also came.
"Third sister-in-law!" Murong Zhan stood up and saluted her politely. Judging from his appearance, he must have great respect for Qingcheng.
"Your Highness, please take a seat!" Qingcheng smiled, walked over and sat across from him.
"Is the emperor's sister-in-law here to meet the third brother?" Murong Zhan asked with a pretext. He was idle at the moment anyway, so it would be a good thing to have someone to chat with. Besides, he liked talking to the woman in front of him very much.
"Yeah!" Qingcheng replied softly, also holding a brocade box in her hand.
"By the way, Sister-in-law, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to hear you play 'Heaven and Earth' during the 'Four Palaces' in a few days?" Murong Zhan asked with some anticipation, thinking back to 'Heaven and Earth'
This song really lives up to its name, how many times in the world can you hear it!
"This..." Qingcheng was a little embarrassed, hesitating on how to answer him...
"Her finger is injured, I'm afraid she won't be able to play 'Four Palaces' this time!" Murong Jue came from the door, his cold voice was just like his personality, even before he walked into the hall, he already had an aura of excitement.
A chill came over me.
Qingcheng looked at him and her eyebrows froze, and she stood up together with Murong Zhan opposite.
"Third brother!" Murong Zhan called him, feeling very disappointed. Now that the man in front of him has opened his mouth, he really has no hearing!
"Have you brought anything?" Murong Jue walked to the upper table and sat down and asked immediately without wasting any time.
"Well, take a look at it!" Murong Zhan handed him the brocade box.
"Princess, where are your things?" Murong Jue took it, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked Qingcheng on the side.
Qingcheng also gave him the brocade box in her hand, which also attracted Murong Zhan's attention. He was curious about what was in Qingcheng's box!
Murong Jue opened Murong Zhan's first, and there was nothing unexpected inside. It was a ten-thousand-year-old tree made of red coral, which symbolized long-term prosperity!
"Third brother, are the gifts prepared by the imperial sister-in-law also for the 'Four Palaces Presentation'?" Murong Zhan couldn't wait any longer, and his starry eyes were fixed on the brocade box that Murong Jue had not yet opened.
Murong ignored it, put down the Ten Thousand Years Tree in his hand, and opened Qingcheng's box unhurriedly...
