When it was almost time, Liang Xifan, along with his wife, daughter, and a local official, waited at the entrance to the palace. After a long wait, a horse finally appeared in the distance.
Excited, Liang Xifan immediately took two steps forward and said, "The nine halls are coming down."
However, just as everyone was about to kneel down, they realized that the person who came wasn't the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince's personal bodyguard, Ye Feng. Ye Feng jumped down from his horse, clasped his fists, and said:
"Milords, sorry for the wait."
"Lord Ye, where is His Highness?" Liang Xifan looked behind him to the night wind, but there was no one there.
Ye Feng looked at the longing eyes of these officials, then looked at the elegant and gentle woman standing next to Liang Xifan. He couldn't help but shake his head. It was useless for these women to do anything.
"There's no need for the Governor to waste any more time. Four hours ago, Her Highness had already left the southern part of the city on horseback, heading towards the capital."
"What …" Liang Xifan was stunned. The Ninth Prince had already left the South City?
This meticulously dressed daughter of the Governor's, Liang Lishu, was extremely disappointed. She asked, "Sir Ye, His Highness is in a hurry to return to the capital. Do you have something particularly important to do?"
Ye Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Yes! It is indeed very important. "
Then, the night wind took a letter prepared by Feng Yunzheng and gave it to Commander Liang Xifan. From his private salary, he took out a copy and gave it to Liang Xifan for civilian use.
After doing all of this, Ye Feng decisively galloped off to chase after Feng Yunzheng.
It would take at least half a month to return to the capital from the southern part of the city.
Prime Minister's Estate, Immortal Lotus Courtyard.
The maidservants rearranged the plants in the yard. Right now, her yard was like a small garden. Even though it was early winter, there was still some greenery.
Lian Rue Yue had someone bring the table into the courtyard. She sat on the chair and copied out a book of poems. The early winter sun shone on her body, warming her body.
"Eldest Miss, Third Miss has been staying in the courtyard these past few days to meditate and think. It's very quiet, and Auntie Xiao has also been closed up in the west yard. I heard that even if Madame Zhao scolded her, she would not reply. It seems that she has really been well-behaved."
When Lian Ruyue heard this, she faintly smiled and declined to comment. It was hard to change a thing about a person's nature. With Xiao Niang and Lian Shiya's personality, how could they just admit defeat like this? After a few exchanges, they had become well-behaved and began to become more intelligent. The only reason why there were no movements was because of the calm before the storm.
At this time, an old woman spoke from outside the door, "Eldest Miss, the four or nine people in Young Master's courtyard are here."
"Come in." Lian Ruyue dipped a brush in ink and drew a line on the Xuan paper.
When the curtains were opened, the errand boy, Li Jiu, rushed in. He said, "Eldest Miss, Young Master is in trouble!"
"…" When Lian Ruyue heard this, she suddenly stood up and her vision went blurry. Her feet went soft, and the brush in her hands fell to her feet. Her embroidered white shoes were immediately dyed black. "What happened, speak clearly!"
"Yes, yes, today the servant and the young master went to the flower market, and the people of the flower market all said that a rare flower called 'Blazing Exhaustion' appeared in the Thousand Mountains. The flower season was forty-nine days, and on the forty-ninth day, the flower would automatically burn, which was very beautiful when it was burning. Many people went up the mountain to look for it, and the young master also wanted to find the 'Blazing Exhaustion Flower' for the young miss to plant in the courtyard.
He had his servant watch the horses at the foot of the mountain, and had arranged to signal the moment the flower seed was found. But, the servant had waited for a long time, and the young master hadn't come down yet.
It was only until a man staggered down the mountain and said that he saw a teenager in a blue robe had found the flower seed, but he was kidnapped by some men in black. Those men in black were skilled in martial arts, so he hid in the tree hole until those people had walked far away before coming down the mountain … From his description, the person he is talking about is the Young Master! "
"What …" "Tactics of the Child, he …" As she spoke, her throat felt as if there was a sharp blade cutting through it, causing her throat to hurt. Her sixth sense told her that something had happened to Lian Lian Fang!
"The Prime Minister, Second Master, and Third Master are all not in the palace to discuss matters with the Emperor. What should Eldest Miss do now?" As he spoke, he began to cry, slapping himself while complaining that he had not taken good care of his young master.
Something happened while they were all gone? There must be someone behind all of this, and this person's background was not small!
Was it Feng Qianyue?
Or … Auntie Xiao? Xiao Zhenhai was the one behind this? That's why they were so quiet these days? Countless thoughts flashed through his mind!
"Where is the man who witnessed the arrest of Lian Tou?" she asked.
"Outside!" The servant thought he would be able to be of use if he was a witness, so he brought him back. He said that the eldest miss would give him silver taels as a reward. " 49 hurriedly said.
"You did well!" Fortunately, 49 was a smart person.
Her hands trembled as she wrote, and after she finished writing, she handed the letter over to Nine-Nine and solemnly ordered, "Four-Nine, go out of the manor immediately and deliver this letter to Prince Lin's mansion to His Highness, Feng Yu. Remember to deliver it no matter what, understand?"
"Yes, Eldest Miss, Fourth Nine obeys." 49 Seeing that even Ru Yue knew the seriousness of the situation, he hastily carried the letter in his arms and left the room.
Lian Ru Yue's hand was tightly holding onto the paper on the table as she curled it into a ball. Her heart was violently beating — — according to the time from her previous life, the duration of the Xiao family's massacre was already over. But … Something had happened.
Could it be that rebirth could not change the fate of the Consecutive Spell?
No!
No!
She definitely could not let anything happen to Lian Lian Lian. She wanted to save him! Her favorite trick!
At this time, Lian Yanqing was in the palace discussing matters of state with the Emperor and the other officials and informing him that he would have to undergo a heavy briefing. It would take at least four hours before he would arrive.
"Green Branch!" Lian Ruyue immediately shouted.
"Eldest Miss!" Greenwood stepped forward.
"Something has happened to Lian Lian Fang. You will go with me to save Lian Meng. No matter what, we cannot let anything happen to Lian Meng. He must come back to me." [Consecutive Techniques] [Consecutive Techniques] Thinking of his appearance in his previous life, she almost couldn't breathe.
"Eldest Miss, I'll be fine. You can stay at the manor and wait for news …" Feng Yunzheng had said before that her mission was to protect the young miss' safety and that she absolutely could not allow any mishaps to occur. Moreover, no matter how scheming she was, she was still a woman, and if she rashly went forward without knowing the background of the other party, she might be in danger.
"No, I must go!" Lian Ruyue quickly ran back to the inner room and took out the 'Yuanyue' from under the pillow and hid it at her waist. This was what Lian Fu gave her for self-defense.
"Alright, this servant will accompany the young miss!" Greenwood said.
"Eldest Miss, be careful!" Qingdai and Daixiang chased after her and shouted loudly.
Without stopping, Lian Ruyue ran out of the Immortal Lotus Courtyard and went to the stables to lead the horses with Greenwood. She jumped onto the horses and led Coldbrow to ride the huge horse to the training field.
At this moment, the chief guard of the Prime Minister's residence was leading the guards and conducting their daily training.
"Phew …" At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly sounded — —
Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful young girl standing on top of a tall black steed. She wore a crescent-moon-colored dress and a purple jacket. She wore a large snow-white fur coat that fluttered in the wind.
Although she was only a woman, in this world filled with men, her sharp gaze and unique aura exuded a domineering aura that was difficult to ignore. Everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing and look at her.
