Rong Yue is a sensitive and suspicious person by nature, so it is reasonable for her to pay some attention to this aspect.

"I always see a black shadow passing by, very light, like a swallow, you don't know where he is going..." Rong Yue recalled the scene she saw that night. She did enter the mother's room, and how many things did the mother hide from him and the fourth brother... "Then do you know the identity of the man in black?"

When the man in black was mentioned, Gu Yunru became excited. She hadn't even settled accounts with the black-clad man who had cut her into pieces, but he actually left her in the wilderness! "How could I know the identity of the man in black? I don't even know the identity of the people around me. It's like a fog. I can't see anything." Rong Yue smiled bitterly and sighed, "I can't stay in this palace anymore. Rumors can really drown people."

"Yuer... don't be too pessimistic. Your mother can understand you. Anyway, there are people around you who love you. Don't think about those things anymore." Gu Yunru held her hand and gave her psychological treatment. He knew that she was pretending to be strong and she didn't know how many times she had wet the quilt with tears.

"Aunt Wang, what is the relationship between that man in black and my mother?" Rong Yue stared at Gu Yunru's cheek curiously. Gu Yunru was about to speak, but heard light footsteps coming from the door.

"Yu'er, I didn't expect the princess is here too." It was Concubine Wan who walked in. Looking at Concubine Wan's plump and rosy cheeks, it was as if she had just received a long-awaited rain. She had a peaceful smile on her face all the time. She was even more shy than Yue'er, which made her more charming.

"Lady Wan..."

"Mother."

The two men looked at her in unison. Concubine Wan noticed that the two were chatting enthusiastically just now, but as soon as she came, they seemed to have nothing to say.

"What were you talking about just now? Why don't you continue?" Concubine Wan looked at the two of them with a half-smile and asked the servants to pour a few cups of black tea.

"Mother, there is something I don't know if I should ask you."

"What else are you hiding from Mother?"

Rong Yue quietly looked up at Gu Yunru, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she took a deep breath and said bravely, "Mother, who are you secretly communicating with? That day, Yue'er saw a man in black running into your room. Who was that man in black?"

As soon as the words fell, the room became so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Gu Yunru could even hear the heartbeats of the mother and daughter. It was as if the mother and daughter were standing on opposite sides. How could a daughter ask such an obscure question?

"Yuer, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is the man in black? The queen mother's room has never seen any outsiders." Concubine Wan had a faint smile on her face. She took a sip from the teacup. There was no emotion in her eyes at all.

I didn't expect that Concubine Wan was also a master of lying. It turned out that women who had been in the palace for a long time didn't even need to draft their lies, let alone blushing or heartbeating, which was impossible.

"Hehe, Yue'er, aren't you asking a question that would embarrass your mother? Yue'er, please go out first. There are some things I want to talk to your mother alone." Gu Yunru gave Rong Yue a look. If this little girl was smart, she would have to find a way to back down quickly, otherwise the atmosphere would remain awkward.

"Um."

Although Rong Yue had gone out, she was still curious about the identity of the man in black. She asked the maids to go first, and she secretly hid aside and eavesdropped at the wall.

"Princess, how did Yue'er know about this?" Concubine Wan's expression finally became uneasy and frightened.

"Lady Wan, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Maybe the man in black came here too many times, and Yue'er saw it." Gu Yunru told her calmly, but Lady Wan's face was filled with anxiety and worry.

"To be honest with you, the man in black is not a famous person. He is just a cousin from my hometown!" Concubine Wan explained the reason to her. Gu Yunru just glanced at him calmly, "Concubine Wan, there is no need to say these words in front of me. In fact, I am not interested in the identity of that person. I just hope that you can keep a low profile in the palace. In fact, to be honest with you, I followed the man in black last time. I didn't expect that there was nothing in Silent Hill. He just waved his robe and took me back to the mansion. It can be seen that this person's kung fu is really profound."

“………”

Concubine Wan lowered her head guiltily, knowing that she would make more mistakes if she spoke too much, so she simply kept silent. Seeing that she had grasped the truth, Gu Yunru smiled calmly and said, "Concubine Wan, we are all women, and we all know that it is lonely in this deep palace, but some things..."

"I understand. I understand everything you said, Princess."

"I hope so. That's all I have to say. I have no right to ask about anything else."

Gu Yunru opened the door after saying this, but she didn't expect Rongyue to fall in accidentally. This embarrassing scene was discovered by Concubine Wan, who glared at her angrily and said, "How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation with the princess!"

"Mother..." Rong Yue shook her head in panic, but this was her room, and she didn't know how to face it, so she turned around and ran away in a hurry.

"Oh...this child." Concubine Wan seemed very angry.

"Noble Lady Wan, it's understandable that Yue'er can't accept it. Don't be too angry." Gu Yunru calmed Noble Lady Wan down and prepared to take people to find Rong Yue's whereabouts.

Yin Cheng had just finished working in the backyard and was about to fetch the last load of water when he heard a faint and intermittent cry coming from the kitchen. He stopped in panic, wondering if it was the female ghost again.

He couldn't help but think of the shadow of his childhood and he shrank back in fear, but the voice was so real that it made people feel full of pity.

"who?"

Yin Cheng walked forward cautiously and saw the white skirt corner exposed. The person was hiding behind the stove, and he didn't know why she was crying so sadly.

"Is anyone there?" Yin Cheng asked cautiously and came in front of the woman.

He had never seen what the princess in this palace looked like. Seeing her dusty face and only a small pearl flower on her head, he thought she was a maid from some palace. Thinking carefully, she should be from Xianfu Palace. He said, "Who bullied you to make you cry so sadly?"

"It's none of your business, just go away!" Rong Yue buried her head in her knees in grievance. Yin Cheng stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or to go forward to comfort her. It was a bit difficult to be a human being. Seeing her crying so sadly, he felt as helpless and desperate as himself as a child. He understood her feelings deeply.
