On the other side, Yun Chang just ran to the city gate.

Liu Meir decisively abandoned her horse, then carried Yun Shang on her back and leaped towards the city wall.

When they were about to reach the top of the city wall, Liu Meir's movements became a little laborious and she began to feel overwhelmed.

At this critical moment, He Zhongqiu gave timely help from behind, and the three of them successfully climbed over the city wall together.

The guards on the city wall here are our own people. They tacitly turned a blind eye and pretended they saw nothing.

After entering the city, Liu Meier gently put Yun Shang down and said, "Miss, there is a noodle soup shop on West Street. The taste is very good. You and He Zhongqiu go there and wait. I will go and pick up the lady."

"Okay." Yun Shang replied.

Afterwards, the three of them went their separate ways.

When Yunchang and He Zhongqiu arrived at the noodle soup shop, they found that there were unexpectedly many people here and business was booming.

A woman came in for a midnight snack at night, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.

But most of the people who come here are just for midnight snacks. It's not like a pub where there is a mixed crowd of all kinds of people, so at most people just take a few more glances out of curiosity.

In addition, the tall He Zhongqiu standing behind Yun Shang, with a ferocious look on his face, made others dare not step forward to cause trouble easily.

Yun Shang was relaxed and at ease. She sat down calmly and shouted, "Boss, give me two large bowls of noodle soup."

"Okay!" the boss responded readily.

In this small noodle stall, Yun Shang's appearance caused a small commotion. The boss looked at this elegant lady curiously for a few more times, but he didn't know that trouble was coming.

I only heard someone in the crowd whispering, "Is this the young lady that the man used as his best asset to get the matchmaker to come to his house to propose marriage?"

Another person continued, "Is that the lady who would rather not marry than marry casually?"

"Yes, it's her."

"With such beauty, there's no need to worry about getting married."

"But you're still going out so late. Are you giving up on yourself? You don't even care about the things that a girl should pay attention to?"

The sound of many people talking filled the not-so-spacious noodle stall, and Yun Chang's face gradually darkened.

She thought angrily in her heart: Come on! How big can this stall be? Even if the voice is very low, she can still hear it!

Just then, "Oh, the lady is getting angry, everyone please stop looking at her," someone shouted.

"What? You're afraid of being seen when you come out to eat. Just forget it if you don't want to eat." The others also echoed.

Just as everyone was talking, Yunmu and Liu Meir hurried in.

When Yunmu saw Yunchang, she hurried over, scolding her softly, "Child, if you want to have a midnight snack, just ask the kitchen to make it. Why do you have to run out to eat in the middle of the night?"

Liu Mei'er also muttered and interrupted: "That's right, Miss, you don't wake me up when you come out. I and the cook don't mind being woken up by you, Miss."

Yunmu glanced at Yunshang coquettishly and said, "Yes! Servant, why are you afraid of being woken up? From now on, don't do this again and make me worry."

Yun Shang was well-behaved. She pointed at He Zhongqiu beside her and said, "I understand, mother. I just want to try some snacks outside. Look, I brought a guard with me."

Yunchang acted coquettishly and pulled Yunmu: "Mom, sit down, since you are here, let's eat together!"

Then he shouted to the boss: "Boss, add two more bowls, hurry up!"

Yunmu originally had no appetite, but she couldn't resist Yunshang, so she had to sit down reluctantly. With Madam Yunmu around, the people who were gossiping around restrained themselves a lot and stopped talking about Yunshang's gossip.

After a while, everyone finished eating the wontons and several people got up and left the stall.

Yunmu held Yunshang's hand tightly from beginning to end. She had too many questions in her heart, but it was not convenient to ask them outside.

Thinking back to what happened just now, Liu Meir pulled her out in a panic and spoke unclearly.

When Yunmu came back from the temple, her daughter disappeared halfway. This made her very anxious, but she couldn't look for her openly. If it weren't for the Shangguan Palace sending someone to report it, asking her not to make it public and to go back home and wait, she really didn't know what to do.

As soon as she returned to the room, Yunmu couldn't wait to ask, "Yun'er, how come you disappeared while we were walking?" Her eyes were full of concern and anxiety, "Are you okay?"

Yun Shang quickly comforted her, "Mother, what could have happened to me? The driver was driving too fast and took the wrong road. When we got to the city, we rushed back overnight to avoid worrying you."

“But I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would make use of this incident to make a fuss, so I went to the capital to show my face.” Yun Shang went on to explain.

Yunmu was skeptical: "Really?"

Yun Shang nodded sincerely, "Really? I was just afraid that someone would take advantage of my disappearance to make a fuss about it, so I went out for a midnight snack. It was just to be on the safe side."

After hearing this, Yunmu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still confusion on her face: "Then why is the letter from Shangguan Palace?"

Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "Master Shangguan is my friend. When a friend is in trouble, I will naturally help him!"

Yunmu frowned and said, "Yun'er! The friendship between men and women should be measured and not spread any bad reputation."

Yun Shang responded, "Mom, don't worry! I know what's going on."

The candlelight in the room flickered gently. The mother and daughter talked to each other for a long time before they went to sleep. But that night, Yunmu still felt a little worried.

After successfully comforting her mother, Yun Shang felt exhausted after running around for a whole day. She washed up and went to bed.

When she woke up the next day, she sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, carefully sorting out everything that happened yesterday.

What happened yesterday was not done by Ning Xue, and Prince Shangguan said that it was not the work of Ning Xue's sister, the imperial concubine. Then who did it?

Obviously, Prince Shangguan must know.

Liu Meir came in with a basin of water, "Miss, Xiaohong came back last night. When I saw you were already asleep, I planned to tell you this morning."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "I'm glad she's back. Is she okay?"

"Nothing serious, just a little frightened."

Yun Chang smiled faintly, Xiao Hong was indeed timid.

After washing up, Liu Meier asked, "Miss, should I go to the streets to find out what rumors there are?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "Don't worry, it's just a rumor after all, it will disappear sooner or later."

She had supper with her mother last night, and everyone saw it. No matter what rumors spread, they will soon be refuted.

She was very curious about the mastermind behind this incident.

"Go and ask the secret guards who planned yesterday's incident so that I can have a clear idea."

At least we have to know who it is so that we can be on guard. The invisible enemy is the most terrifying.

Liu Mei'er nodded, "Okay, Miss, I'll go right away. Miss, please don't go out before I come back."

Yun Shang responded: "Okay, go ahead!"
