"It's all right, it's all right."

Gao has always been calm and composed. Even when he was on the road to exile, he always faced things calmly and rarely showed his emotions like this.

He held Wei Yunlan's hand tightly until they sat down in the front hall.

It gets dark early in winter, and many people in the north go to bed before the hour of Xu.

It was already past midnight, but the Wei family members were gathered in the front hall.

Not a single one slept.

Even the eldest sister-in-law Cheng Yue'e rushed over from the backyard after everyone was seated. After she coaxed the two children to sleep, she kept her eyes open, feeling worried.

"Is Yunlan injured anywhere? In the evening, Guard Xue came to our house with a handkerchief, which really scared everyone..."

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone." Wei Yunlan shook his head, indicating that he was not injured.

However, his pale face still made people in the hall worried.

It was already late at night, and things should be discussed tomorrow. However, Wei Yunlan knew that if he didn't explain clearly, his parents and sister-in-law would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

"I was kidnapped today because someone wanted to threaten King You with my life."

"The enemy's goal was to take King You's life. Fortunately, they did not succeed and most of their men have been killed. King You's men are now searching outside the city to see if there are any remnants."

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Wei Maolin and Gao frowned at the same time.

Wei Maolin asked, "This group of people...are they from the capital?"

It is said that the second prince is now in charge of government affairs, and the emperor has not been in charge of government affairs for a long time. If this continues, the second prince will most likely be the successor to the throne in the future.

After all, King You was once the Crown Prince, so it was not surprising that the Second Prince wanted to eliminate him to prevent future troubles.

"They came from the capital, but it's hard to say who is behind the scenes." The matter has not been investigated yet, and Wei Yunlan is not sure who sent this group of people from the capital. The second prince, the emperor, and the empress dowager are all suspects, but of course the last one is the most suspicious.

It all depends on what clues Qi Xu brings back tomorrow.

"They actually used you to threaten King You." The worry between Gao's brows was deeper than before.

Perhaps the frequent contact between the two recently made the other party realize an opportunity.

Or maybe the other party has more clues and knows that their Wei family has close contacts with King You?

In other words, in the eyes of the other party, the Tianshi Mansion, the Wei Family, and King You were all in the same boat.

Putting these aside, when it comes to the safety of the whole family, as a mother, Gao is more worried about another thing at the moment.

"Take a rest today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Gao glanced at the disheveled Wei Mingxuan, "Go back to your room quickly to clean up and drink another bowl of ginger soup."

After everyone else left, Gao also asked Wei Yunlan to go back to her room to wash up and rest.

After a while, he asked Guixiang to bring his pillow and quilt over.

"Lan'er, mother will sleep with you today, are you willing?"

Wei Yunlan was naturally willing, and she also guessed that her mother must have something else to say to her.

The night is dark.

The Wei family had been worried for half the night and now they all fell asleep.

In Wei Yunlan's bedroom, mother and daughter slept side by side. The kang beneath them was warm, and the two of them were lying next to each other, adding an extra layer of warmth.

Gao turned sideways and looked at her daughter, who looked the same as before, but with a more heroic look on her face.

A hint of pride arises in my heart.

Her daughter, after leaving the capital and experiencing exile and journey to the northwest, became more dazzling, like a pearl that had been wiped clean of dust.

No wonder I'm always regarded as the top of someone's heart.

But this may not be a good thing.

Gao certainly believed that her daughter was worthy of anyone. But now that the relationship was not clear, so many dangers had been attracted. This was just the beginning. What she would face in the future would probably be even more difficult than now.

As a mother, she naturally didn't want to see her daughter in danger.

But it must be said that King You's character and talents were impeccable, which was personally certified by the late emperor and her grandfather Gao Tianshi.

Compared with the former Prince of Jinyang, he is much stronger!

Sighing softly, Gao asked, "Lan'er, after they kidnapped you, did King You really rush over there in person as soon as possible? He knew it was dangerous, but he still took the risk?"

Wei Yunlan nodded.

She had already heard Suihe and Mingxuan talk about the specific process on the way back to the city.

At that time, Suihe caught up with Feng Ping and was brought back to the military camp. Upon learning the news that she had been abducted, Qi Xu immediately ordered his men to take action. He himself put on his coat and led his men to Huifeng Pavilion.

It is impossible to say that I was not touched at all.

We have shared life and death together too many times, and extended a helping hand in times of crisis.

King You Qi Xu has become a very special existence in her heart, and his importance is almost comparable to that of her family members.

Looking at Wei Yunlan's thoughtful eyes, Gao nodded in her heart.

It seems that King You really cares about Lan'er and cares about her safety.

In this case, she couldn't say anything to pour cold water on the situation.

I can only ask indirectly: "Lan'er, did King You...promise you anything?"

"Promise of what?" Wei Yunlan was a little confused about what her mother wanted to ask. She had been too exhausted today and her mind was no longer working.

He just followed this question and thought for a moment before answering, "I originally promised that I would protect the safety of our Wei family."

"Otherwise, Tianshu Pavilion wouldn't have sent secret guards to protect us all the time. Zou Yun was originally responsible for secretly protecting our courtyard."

When Gao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

I hadn't thought about it in this direction before, but now I can't help but ponder it deeply. King You...how long ago did he set his sights on Lan'er?

But looking at Lan'er's expression, it seems like she hasn't figured it out at all.

Yes, whether it was the previous road of exile or the recent time in Beiguan, the dangers and accidents encountered came one after another.

You know your own daughter.

In Lan'er's heart, she probably regarded King You as a partner who could be trusted and fight side by side with her?

Thinking of this, the originally uneasy heart became much better. Even if King You had any ideas, he was just eager to do it.

Given King You's thoughtful character, her worries were in vain for the time being.

Relieved, Gao said, "King You is very thoughtful. When he comes to the city someday, your father and I will thank him in person."

Wei Yunlan yawned and replied dazedly, "No need to wait until another day. I have already told him that he will come to our house tomorrow."

"..." Gao opened her mouth and saw that the person next to her had closed his eyes and was breathing rapidly.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He reached out to tuck in the corner of the quilt next to him, then lay down and fell asleep.
