The emperor was greatly overjoyed. Consort Xuan clearly wanted to use this dance to capture Dragon Heart, but she said that she was praying for the blessings of the heavens, singing and dancing lightly, but she said that it was a sacred matter that couldn't be violated. Even the empress couldn't say anything about her.
"Thank you for your gift, your majesty." Consort Xuan happily knelt down once again to express her gratitude, and returned to her seat in satisfaction. She pretended to inadvertently look in Feng Qianyue's direction, wanting to get his approval, but —
Her eyes dimmed because there was no one in his position.
Her heart skipped a beat. This dance was the result of her studying for several months for him. She only wanted to make use of this opportunity to show it to him. When she was dancing earlier, she realized that he wasn't looking at her at all. Lian Lianyue.
And now, where did he go?
Also, when she looked in the direction of Moon, she was also gone!
She suddenly felt more nervous and concerned than she had ever felt before.
The truth was cruel, and those who knew the truth suffered even more. Lian Yue endured watching the dance and took advantage of the time when everyone was drinking to cheer up to quietly leave the banquet to walk outside the hunting grounds. She was afraid that if she continued to watch this scene, she would not be able to hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
She sat on the tree trunk and raised her head to look at the stars in the sky. Her feet naturally hung down from the tree, gently swaying. At this moment, she heard a series of footsteps coming from behind her — —
The trick?
She was so happy that she was about to turn around, but she noticed that the footsteps were not as light as usual. The smile on her face slowly faded as she said in a cold voice:
"The fourth prince isn't here to enjoy such a beautiful dance. What is he doing out here?"
"You were frightened by the horse today. Is there anything else?" Feng Qianyue stood behind her and asked, as if he was concerned about her. However, his tone was very stiff as he deliberately said, "Today, I didn't chase into the small forest for the second time to find you because …"
"What is the fourth prince trying to say?" Lian Ruyue coldly interrupted him. She lightly jumped down from the tree trunk and looked at him as if he was a monster. What did he mean? As if she cared whether he came to see her or not.
"In the situation yesterday, this news must have reached royal father's ears. After careful consideration, I will not chase after them anymore. Moreover, eighth royal brother, ninth royal brother, they have already chased after your secret technique. I believe you won't be in any danger." Feng Qianyue's gaze seemed to reveal a trace of apology.
Lian Ru Yue's brows tightened. "I've never cared about what His Highness said before. Your Highness naturally doesn't care too much about it. What happened to me has nothing to do with you."
"Is that so?" He lightly raised his eyebrows and revealed a charming smile. It had to be said that he was a good-looking man, but the yin aura around him was too dense, giving off a sinister feeling.
"Moreover, as a prince, tactics and strategies are essential, but as a man, it's better to be honest." Lian Ru Yue couldn't help but sigh. In her previous life, how blind was her eyes? Or was it that her heart had been blinded by lard that made her fall in love with a man who never showed his sincerity to others?
She was provoking him in such a way. If it was in the past, he would have already become angry from the embarrassment, but …
Feng Qianyue was also not someone who was easy to deal with. He did not seem to mind her sarcasm at all, and there was even a faint smile on his lips as he said, "Didn't you already know who this duke is? That's right, This King is such a person. You're right, you just have to get used to it as soon as possible. "
"Why should I get used to someone who has nothing to do with me?" Lian Ru Yue frowned. Where did he get his confidence from? Did she need to get used to him?
"Lian Ruyue, you have to listen carefully to every word I say. I'll put my words here, no matter if it's at the ends of the world or in the underworld, I'll catch up to you no matter what. Remember, after a long life, you will eventually belong to me. " He spoke very slowly, but every word and sentence was filled with a suffocating dominance and possessiveness.
Lian Ru Yue's heart shook. Her frown deepened. The gloominess in her eyes deepened. Her voice was as cold as Satan — —
"Feng Qianyue, who are you? What right do you have to say such words to me? Do I allow you? Don't pretend to be emotional, I feel like vomiting! I know what you're thinking. You told my father that you wanted to marry me just to get me under your command so that you could control me! "Then listen up, I will tell you this too. What I want, Sky Sea Horn, the Underworld must have it as well. If I don't want it, then we will perish together."
Feng Qianyue was not angered by her words, his deep eyes tightly stared at her as he said, "Very good, you said it, Moon, I will not hesitate to die with you, I will remember it, so, you must not go find anyone else to die with you. You must remember to come find me, eighth royal brother, ninth royal brother, and the others are not worthy of your viciousness.
"However …"
A confident smile appeared on his face as he said, "I won't let you perish together with me. I'll take you along in the end to share your glory. Just you wait."
Sharing glory?
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" I really want to spit on my eighteen generations of ancestors. She doesn't even want the manners that a noble woman should have, "Feng Qianyue, can you still be a bit more ridiculous, to share glory? "Please, find someone else. I don't have this life, so I don't care."
With his personality, who would be unlucky to share the glory with him?
"…" Feng Qianyue was not angry either, and only looked at her with a smile that was not a smile from beginning to end.
She couldn't bear to be alone like this for even a moment, so she said, "Get out of my way, I'm leaving!" If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to stop herself from beating him.
"Alright." Feng Qianyue raised his hands and consciously took a step back, clearing a path as he walked in front of him with a cold expression on his face.
Seeing Lian Ruyue walk over, a figure immediately flashed by and hid behind the haystack. That young and beautiful face flashed with deep sorrow.
"Eldest Miss, are you alright?" Her cold eyebrows had always been standing at a place not far from her, attentively watching Feng Qianyue's every move. With her ability, even Feng Qianyue would not be able to notice her hiding here.
"No problem, Greenbranch, let's go." Lian Ruyue's gaze looked over to the other side of the stack of grass. A fleeting smile flashed in her eyes; she seemed to have smelled a hint of blood.
Tomorrow would be an exceptionally difficult day.
By the time she returned to her seat, the banquet had already reached its conclusion. There was already no one on her left and right, and Liu Yan Yu had already walked to the princess of An Kingdom's side, while Liu Xi Man drank two more cups and was supported by the maid to leave. The people of Zhou were more open-minded, and it was not a rare occasion for women to drink in public.
Lian Ruyue lifted up her wine cup and slowly poured the same amount of wine into her mouth. She looked up at the sky, and the stars were flashing. There was a cheerful atmosphere around the banquet, but … It was definitely not calm!
