The consequences would be unimaginable!
For the first time since she was reborn, Lian Lu Yue felt that she had lost her confidence in one matter.
He took a deep breath and continued, "That day, in order to save me, you didn't even care about your own life. I feel so guilty, I actually hid my selfishness from you, using my brother's name to make you care for me, love me, enjoy being your brother, and even sacrifice your life for me!
I can't be this selfish anymore. I can't just watch you give it to me.
Big sister, I'm not your little brother, so in the future … In the future, you don't have to do this for me anymore. "
As he spoke, he was so heartbroken that he almost couldn't breathe.
Lian Ru Yue didn't know how she left Wen Hua Yuan. She only felt that her steps were soft. When she returned to Xian He Yuan, she had already thought about everything that had happened — —
Lian Fu was not a descendant of Lian Family. It was something his mother exchanged twelve years ago, and the person who attempted to assassinate Lian Lian Fu was from the palace. In that case —
Even the history of the technique couldn't be separated from the palace. Could it be that he was …
Lian Ru Yue didn't dare to think further. If she continued to investigate and find out the truth, then there would be too many people involved!
The first to bear the brunt of this was his mother. Since it was related to the royal family, then the entire Prime Minister's Estate would be implicated. And Ji'er — where would Ji'er be placed?
"Eldest Miss, what's wrong?" asked Blue Dai softly, feeling the uneasiness in Lian Yueyue's heart.
"What about Green Branch? Tell Greenbranch to come over immediately. " Lian Ruyue suddenly remembered something and ordered.
"Yes."
Not long later, Greenbranch walked in. "Eldest Miss?"
Lian Ruyue stood up, walked to the desk, and quickly wrote a letter. She folded it and put it in the letter, then handed it to Green Branch. "Immediately deliver this letter to His Highness."
"Yes." Greenwood went out with the letter.
Prince Heng's manor.
Ninth Prince Feng Yunzheng received a reward from the Emperor for taking over the role of Patrol Officer of the Waterworks Canal. Feng Yunzheng, on the other hand, greatly praised the Southern City officials for their meritorious service and low-key transition.
At this moment, in the study room, Feng Yunzheng was writing a letter.
"Your Highness, I have something that I do not understand." Ye Feng asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time
"Go ahead." Feng Yunzheng said as he made a line on the xuan paper.
"Your Highness's grievances have already been washed away and you've been promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine. Your Highness has also returned to the imperial court and has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Emperor. You still haven't revealed your intentions to the young miss? " Every day, he would just watch from the side, feeling anxious.
Originally, during his three months of office, the Ninth Prince often worked all night long, forcefully completing the duties assigned to him by the Emperor within one and a half months. He only came back early to meet the First Miss of the Lian Mansion.
However, he never expressed his feelings like the fourth prince did.
Feng Yunzheng put down the brush in his hand. The night wind did not know that he was a reincarnated body. Naturally, it was impossible to understand his actions.
But —
"The time has yet to come." He only said four words.
Especially after the incident of Lian Yin's Incantation being assassinated, he noticed that Lian Rue's enemies were far from limited to the Xiao family's mother and daughter, Feng Qianyue and the others. There were also some people who he had never noticed before in his previous life and were much more terrifying than the Xiao family's mother and daughter.
"Your Highness …" At this time, Leng Mei walked in and handed over Lian Ru Yue's letter with both hands. "Eldest Miss said she would like Your Highness to personally open it."
Write to him?
Feng Yunzheng immediately opened the letter and only wrote a single line:
"Your Highness, please immediately suspend the investigation of the linked techniques."
He didn't say anything else and just stopped immediately? Feng Yunzheng slowly furrowed his brows. From this short line of words, he could sense Lian Ru Yue's current anxious mood. His intuition told him that something must have happened, but why didn't she say it directly?
He slowly put the letter down and asked, "Has there been any activity in the Residence of Prime Minister during the past two days?"
"Apart from the fact that young master Lian Fu had woken up, nothing else has happened."
Feng Yunzheng nodded and said, "Protect her well. If there is something she cannot solve, report it to this duke."
"Yes, Your Highness." Leng Mei nodded and accepted the order.
Feng Yunzheng sat in front of his desk and thought for a moment. Then, he ordered, "Ye Feng, first imprison the person you captured. Don't let him die."
Qing An Courtyard.
As usual, the madams and misses of the fourth branch came to pay their respects to their mothers, each of them talking and laughing to each other. The first lady seemed to be in a good mood, speaking a lot more than usual, and had even ordered Senior Servant Zhou to distribute the new batch of ingredients to Lian Ying, Lian Shengru, and Lian Xue Qiao.
Lian Ruyue's gaze fell on the first wife's face. This woman, who was the head lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, had been suppressed by the Xiao family for so many years …
What kind of mood did she have back then when she changed her baby girl into a baby boy?
Where did the baby girl go? Is he still alive?
The first wife felt Lian Ruyue's gaze. Without knowing it, she asked in a small voice, "Yue Er, what's wrong? What are you thinking?"
Lian Ruyue came back to her senses and said, "It's fine. I can see that mother's materials are quite nice."
"Since we're all here today, let me announce something." At this moment, his mother motioned for Senior Servant Song to bring over a purple sandalwood box and take out a jade phoenix. This jade phoenix was made from the finest goosebumps. It was vivid and lifelike, astonishing everyone.
Third Wife Liu said, "Mother, this is our Lian Family's family heirloom, the Jade Phoenix."
The Lian Family had a tradition: this inherited Jade Phoenix Jade Phoenix belonged to the people in charge of the harem. Wherever the Jade Phoenix was in the hands of others, it meant that the true power of the harem was in the hands of the person.
Lian Luo mother looked at everyone and saw the doubt in everyone's eyes. In the end, her gaze fell on Lian Ruyue. Her face revealed a loving gaze as she said, "Yue Er, come over here."
"Yes." Lian Ruyue got up and respectfully walked over.
Lian Mu placed the jade phoenix into Lian Xiyue's hands in front of everyone and solemnly announced, "This jade phoenix is the inherited treasure of our Lian Family. The one who controls the jade phoenix is the one in charge of the mansion. From today on, I will hand this jade phoenix to you."
What?
All these years, Lian Mu had never been moved by the idea of handing the Jade Phoenix over to anyone. Even when Xiao Niang was most proud of it, she had never mentioned the Jade Phoenix, and now, she was actually going to hand the Jade Phoenix over to Lian Rue, who was not even 15 years old yet?
From this, it could be seen that Lian Yue's act of saving Lian Lian Lian had completely solidified her unshakeable position in her mother's heart.
Second Wife Hu's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. It was over, it was all over. She and Madam Hu couldn't even count on a single thought anymore.
"Grandmother, this jade phoenix is too precious. Yue'er is still so young, so she has to bear this shame. Her heart is filled with incomparable fear, so Grandmother, you should just leave it to me." Even Ru Yue's eyes revealed an astonished expression. She didn't expect that her mother would hand over the Jade Phoenix, the family treasure, to her.
However, his mother said, "Who said that you have been wronged? You are a man who has a deep sense of righteousness, is enduring humiliation, and now you are risking your life to save our little brother, and you are saving our Lian Family's only eldest son. This is a great matter that concerns the Lian Family's foundation and bloodline, so you can take this Jade Phoenix.
