Indeed, when Shi Ya changed her clothes and appeared at the banquet, the seated people all whispered and laughed, and her face alternated between red and white. In the blink of an eye, she saw Lian Xiyue chatting happily with several other young misses, and when she turned her head, Lian Shiya said:

"Have you changed your clothes, Third Sister?" Come sit here. "

"No need, I'll just sit here." If it wasn't for the banquet at the Xiao Imperial Palace, she really wanted to run over and tear that smiling face of hers apart! However, in the end, he still held his breath and reluctantly sat down.

But now, not to mention using her beauty to attract the attention of the prince, it was impossible for others to not laugh at her.

She suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look in Feng Qianyue's direction. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her …

There was no mockery or mockery on his face like the others. Instead, there was a trace of sympathy.

Not everyone was laughing at her. At least the Fourth Prince was still taking pity on her. He must have seen that Lian Xiyue had evil intentions and knew that she was not as pure as she appeared on the surface.

Lian Shiya suddenly felt like she found someone close to her.

Feng Ye said from the side, "This little girl also suffered for eight lifetimes, following her loss to the True Sun Sect. She's already in such a sorry state, how can she still have the face to come out and embarrass herself." When he spoke, he was extremely harsh, not leaving a single shred of face behind. Even his voice was not loud enough to reach Lian Shiya's ears.

She was so embarrassed that Lian Shiya turned her head away, unable to raise her head.

Lady Xiao sat beside Lian Shiya and felt the whispers of the surrounding people towards them. She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles; in the end, she really couldn't take it any longer and finally abruptly stood up, preparing to leave.

"Madam Shang Shu sure is lucky. She's pregnant again, and the doctor said that she's a male." She was about to get up and leave when she suddenly heard some ladies beside her discussing something. She stopped and turned her head — —

Sure enough, Lady Shang's abdomen was already bulging, as if she had been pregnant for five to six months.

She blushed slightly and said, "I didn't expect that ever since the birth of the Xuan Man siblings, there has been no news of them. Now that they are pregnant again, it must be the will of the heavens."

After hearing what Madam Shang had said, the others all expressed their congratulations.

However, the Xiao Clan was cautious. According to her knowledge, two years ago, Madam Shang's son, Liu Xuan, had fallen down the hill and lost both his arms and legs due to a horse race. He was unable to accomplish anything and could not be pregnant at such a young age.

Then how did Lady Shang Shu get pregnant?

The Xiao Clan member who originally wanted to leave slowly sat back down. A trace of deep thought slowly appeared on his face, and his gaze would occasionally fall on the Lady Shang Shu's stomach —

He had to think of a way to beat around the bush, but if she were to go, it would arouse suspicion. If word of her 'fate' got out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The ninth prince has arrived!" At this time, a clear voice sounded from the door, and everyone looked towards the door. They saw a man get down from the carriage, and the attendant hurriedly went forward to receive the blue cloak he had untied. He was dressed in a moon-white robe, and there was a kirin-patterned jade belt tied around his waist.

The smile on his face was like a warm ink painting. The surrounding air had also become graceful because of him, making it difficult for ordinary people to see the true coldness and ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes.

The last time he was at the hunting grounds' bonfire banquet, he had been an inconsequential prince, but now, he was favored by the emperor and had the title of Prince Heng. This kind of legendary figure was naturally more eye-catching.

When Ru Yue saw so many noble girls, she stuck her body out and secretly looked at him.

Xiao Zhenhai had already led Madam Xiao and the three brothers of the Xiao family to kneel at the entrance to welcome them.

"Your majesty has lived for thousands of years."

He even personally stooped down to help Xiao Zhenhai up, saying, "The loyal general has rendered meritorious services to the imperial government. This duke has come here to congratulate you, so there is no need to be so courteous, Great General."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Zhenhai felt the strength coming from Feng Yunzheng's hand and was slightly startled. Raising his head, his gaze intersected with his. He felt something strange, but this strange thing disappeared too quickly.

"General Xiao?" Seeing his somewhat dazed gaze, Feng Yunzheng called out.

Xiao Zhenhai was startled. Why did his mind wander in front of a prince? This was a huge taboo!

He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please!"

However, Feng Yunzheng's seemingly emotionless gaze, actually caused a chill to run down his spine. He was just a little brat who had been favored by the Emperor for a few days. His Majesty's favor came at once and he left at once. What was there to be afraid of? Xiao Zhenhai!

"Greetings, General Xiao." Feng Yunzheng lifted his leg and walked towards the seats. The instant he turned around, his eyes overflowed with a touch of dense coldness.

Of course he remembered deeply just what kind of important role this loyal general Xiao Zhenhai played in the process of Feng Qianyue persecuting him and Lian Yue!

On that day, not long after Feng Qianyue ascended the throne, he rushed to the Imperial Palace by himself according to the agreement, and only after being requested to remove the sword on his body did he enter the hall.

Feng Qianyue chatted with him for a long night. From the capital city, to the livelihood of the commoners, to the deep affection between brothers, they had even talked about how the Empress was like a single month, and Feng Qianyue had even mentioned that the harem would be filled. When he heard this, he thought of a certain face and advised him from afar that the Emperor had just ascended to the throne, so he could delay matters of the imperial harem in order to prevent the other ministers from saying that the Emperor was lustful of beauties.

At that time, Feng Qianyue had even laughed heartily and said that the Ninth Royal Brother was thinking for the Empress, and that this was the Queen's fortune.

How could he have known that while he was in the palace chatting with Feng Qianyue throughout the night, Xiao Zhenhai had already led the Xiao family to take control of the Residence of Prince Heng and kill off all his soldiers in one night.

It was said that these two had used their last breath to shout outside the main door, "His Royal Highness is cheating!" However, his head was chopped off by Xiao Zhenhai!

The betrayal had come so suddenly that when he was in the palace, he did not notice anything strange at first. However, by the time he realized that something was wrong, he was already powerless.

So it turned out that Feng Qianyue had put medicine into the incense he had lit, and the medicinal effects slowly seeped into his body along with his breathing.

That night, almost all of his trusted aides had died under Xiao Zhenhai's sword!

Furthermore, Yue Er's miserable life was something that Xiao Zhenhai couldn't do without his advice!

With a smile on his face, he slowly walked into the banquet hall. However, his fists were slowly clenched.

Therefore, Xiao Zhenhai, today the King of Japan was going to give Xiao Zhenhai a huge gift to celebrate his reunion in this life!

Lian Ru Yue, of course, knew that the ninth prince's previous life's suffering came from Xiao Zhen Hai and Feng Qian Yue's betrayal and torture. She seemed to feel a trace of desolation emitting from his body!

She slowly clenched her fist …

Therefore, Xiao Zhenhai, today I will give you a huge gift as a form of gratitude to the Ninth Prince!

Their gazes met in midair, and a tacit understanding could be seen in their gazes, as if they had seen through each other's thoughts.
