Mei Hong's ears turned red and her face was burning with panic when she heard this. Fortunately, she lowered her head and no one noticed anything. She just listened to Jiang Bai's words and regarded them as simple gossip. She didn't want to delve into it, and she couldn't delve into it!

Yu Zhengsha took the conversation seriously and said, "Surely there's such a thing. It seems I really need to go and see for myself. Meihong, what do you think is so attractive about the Rongsheng Inn that attracted the Crown Prince?"

Mei Hong looked at her nose, and then at her heart, and replied respectfully: "I don't know. I am just a servant serving the young lady. How can I understand the affairs of these masters?"

"What if I let you guess the truth?!"

"I can't guess it!"

Seeing Mei Hong's flawless answers, Yu Zhengsha grew increasingly wary of this girl. What was her purpose in meeting the Crown Prince? Was it simply out of admiration? Or was she being sent there by someone? Did Yu Qingli know about this? Was she even involved?

A series of questions swirled in Yu Zhengsha's mind, but he could not find any definite answers.

Just when the inquiry reached a deadlock, a voice came from outside the door, "Prime Minister, our Crown Prince wants to see you."

Even if he was leaving, Murong Feng wanted Yu Zhengsha to meet him. He couldn't lose the face of the royal family. No matter how high the official rank of Prime Minister Yu was in the court, he was still a minister after all. And no matter how low his status in the royal family was, he was still the emperor after all. The etiquette between the emperor and his subjects seemed harmless, but it could not be abolished.

After Qiu Hen's announcement, Yu Zhengsha hurried out to greet them. Murong Feng was standing at the door. Through the wide-open door, he could clearly see Mei Hong's kneeling figure inside.

A trace of indifference flashed across Murong Feng's eyes. He walked forward as if he saw nothing, a gentle smile still hanging on his lips, "Prime Minister..."

"Your Highness, what do you want from me?" Yu Zhengsha was puzzled. He glanced thoughtfully at Mei Hong who was still kneeling on the ground. Could it be that she came here just for this maid?

Murong Feng said sternly, "I have been bothering you for many days. Besides, my father's birthday is next month, and my mother has already written to urge me to return to the capital as soon as possible. I believe we will meet again in the capital soon."

So he came to say goodbye! I was a little impatient. Judging from his previous attitude towards Yu Qingli, I thought he would stay and wait for Yu Qingli to come back. I didn't expect that he would be ready to leave so soon.

When the guest wants to leave, the host will naturally try to keep him, even if the attempt is just a polite remark.

"Your Highness rarely comes here, but I haven't had the time to accompany you on a leisurely tour. This is truly a sin. Your Highness, please stay a few more days and let me fulfill my role as a good host."

"You are too polite, Prime Minister. We have a long way to go. Perhaps I will come to bother you often in the future."

Murong Feng's words were full of hidden meanings. Yu Zhengsha felt a little unhappy when he heard it, but he remained calm and said, "I'm at your service anytime!"

"In that case, I will be setting off today. When Miss Yu returns home, I hope the Prime Minister will thank her for accompanying her on her trip last time."

"Your Highness, you are welcome. It is my honor to take you on a tour! If Your Highness insists on leaving, I will ask Butler Jiang to arrange a carriage."

"You are welcome, Prime Minister. My servants have already prepared everything, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I will not see you off this time. I will also be leaving for Beijing soon."

After some polite exchanges, Murong Feng stood up and said goodbye without hesitation. From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Mei Hong, the maid who was kneeling in front of the hall and had made love with him last night.

Yu Zhengsha couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they really made a mistake? Was Murong Feng going to Rongsheng Inn not for this little maid, but for someone else?

Mei Hong knelt there for a long time without daring to say a word. She naturally knew that Murong Feng would never stand up for her at this time. They were all smart people and they knew very well what was the best and most appropriate thing to do for themselves.

After Murong Feng walked away, Jiang Bai leaned forward and whispered, "If there's really nothing wrong between these two, then the eldest prince is just too cunning!"

Yu Zhengsha nodded in agreement. He had originally planned to use Mei Hong as his spy around Murong Feng, but he didn't expect that Mei Hong and Murong Feng had such a tacit understanding that he couldn't find any evidence against her. The most important thing was that the spy who came back from Rongsheng Inn reported that he couldn't be sure whether the woman who booked a room in the inn was Mei Hong.

"It's a pity that a chess piece has become useless!" Jiang Bai sighed in a low voice.

Yu Zhengsha smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. As long as this maid has improper thoughts about the eldest prince, and the eldest prince accepts her advances, then their affair will eventually be exposed, and she will eventually become a pawn in our hands!"

"Master is right. I am short-sighted."

Yu Zhengsha stopped smiling at this moment. In fact, what he was most worried about now was not these unimportant things, but Yu Qingli!

This worry did not come from a father's concern for his daughter, but from his political career. These days, he suddenly discovered some clues. His good daughter seemed to have successfully attracted the attention of Murong Feng and Murong Yanhui, and from the performance of these two people, it seemed that they were about to discuss marriage.

He would never allow this to happen!

"Ah, Ah!"

Yu Qingli in the villa sneezed twice in succession, which attracted the attention of Murong Yanhui and Murong Yue at the dinner table.

"Lili, you didn't catch a cold, did you?"

Just one hour after the previous fall into the water incident, Prince Murong was laughing and joking with Yu Qingli as if nothing had happened, which made Yu Qingli feel a little embarrassed. It was not right to pay attention to him, and it was not right to ignore him.

Murong Yue's small body slid off the chair and hurried to Yu Qingli's side. Her small hand carefully touched Yu Qingli's forehead and nodded, saying, "Fortunately, you don't have a fever, otherwise you wouldn't be able to attend Yue'er's birthday party tomorrow."

Yu Qingli was startled by his grown-up appearance and asked casually, "Is tomorrow your birthday?"

Murong Yue's big eyes sparkled with anticipation as she said, "Yes, tomorrow is Yue'er's fifth birthday. Mother, will you give Yue'er a gift?"

Yu Qingli felt a bit of a headache. In her previous life, she was so busy helping Murong Feng seize the throne that she never even celebrated her birthday. Later, she was banished to the cold palace and missed all the birthday parties she was supposed to attend. As for her child, the child...

Yu Qingli's eyes grew cold, and those painful memories flooded back into her mind. That child, who had been snatched away from her not long after birth, probably hadn't even celebrated his first birthday...

Yu Qingli's gaze gradually fell on Murong Yue's little face full of expectation. If her child was still alive, would he also be looking forward to his birthday like this?

"Mom, actually it doesn't matter if you don't send a gift, as long as you come to Yue'er's birthday party!" Murong Yue said very seriously.

Yu Qingli was a little moved, but just nodded slightly.

Seeing Yu Qingli nod, Murong Yue's little face suddenly became bright, her eyes sparkling with light, and she excitedly threw herself on Yu Qingli, hugged her, smiled and kissed her, making Yu Qingli's face covered with saliva.

Murong Yanhui sat there motionless, but with a faint smile on his lips.

Murong Yanhui said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "You little brat, I celebrate your birthday every year, but I've never seen you this excited."

"That's because every year on my birthday there's only my dad but no mom. This year, Yue'er also has a mom!"

Yu Qingli was speechless. This father and son were exactly the same in their ability to talk to themselves. Although she had told him many times not to call her like that, the child still didn't learn his lesson!

However, let's forget about it for the next two days. Since she has already made a deal with Murong Yanhui, she will just play her role well in the next few days. Fortunately, after tomorrow, everything will return to the starting point.

Murong Yan looked back at the old and the young who were getting along so well with each other, and suddenly made a decision in his heart. On Yue'er's birthday tomorrow, he would express his feelings to this woman.

After returning from the dense forest, Murong Yanhui suddenly felt his heart clear. If he missed such a woman, he might never meet her again.

He, Murong Yanhui, never does anything that makes him regret. In life, he lives a life of fine clothes and fine horses, and clearly distinguishes between love and hate. This kind of unrestrained life belongs to him, Murong Yanhui!

Even though this woman said over and over again that the person she was going to marry was Murong Feng, in his opinion, her feelings towards Murong Feng did not seem like those of a girl in love, especially the inexplicable hatred that appeared in her eyes from time to time.

She is like a book with puzzles. After seeing the first puzzle, you can't help but want to keep exploring.

However, after accepting Murong Yue's birthday gift, Yu Qingli began to worry. What should she give Murong Yue?

Murong Yue grew up in the palace. She must be tired of all kinds of delicacies, jewelry and delicacies. Moreover, judging from Murong Yanhui's attitude towards Murong Yue, she really doesn't know what this child lacks.

In his own words, he doesn't want anything but a mother.

Seeing Yu Qingli's distressed face, Murong Yanhui naturally walked over and approached, "Lili, are you worried about what to give Yue'er?"

Yu Qingli glanced at him and thought to herself, this man really understands her thoughts.

A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and Murong Yan replied with a face as bright as spring breeze, "As long as it's a gift from you, Yue'er will like it."

Murong Yue, who was standing aside, had something stuffed in his mouth, but his little head kept nodding. It seemed that his father understood him. Anything given by his beautiful mother, even if it was just a blade of grass, must be worth cherishing!

Yu Qingli raised her eyes and her gaze met Murong Yanhui's. Is this consolation to him? He really loves to meddle in other people's business!

However, Yu Qingli felt inexplicably relieved. What she said was true. Since Murong Yue always regarded her as his mother, perhaps what he wanted was not anything material, but just someone who could replace his mother's position and give him motherly care.

Yu Qingli sighed inwardly, this child still didn't understand that the person he expected to appear could definitely not be him!
