A smile slowly formed on his lips as he said, "Third Miss is overthinking it. Originally, I thought your eldest sister was someone who loved flowers and gave them to others out of a sense of familiarity. Who knew that she didn't know how to cherish them and wasn't someone who truly loved flowers and plants. This king is very disappointed."
When Lian Shiya heard this, she immediately calmed down and said, "Your Highness has interacted with me a few more times. You'll know that my Big Sister doesn't know what's good for herself!"
Feng Qianyue was in favor of Lian Shiya's words, as Lian Xiyue was a person who didn't know what was good for her.
By this time, the banquet had already begun.
The guests all went to the back garden in twos and threes, and the ladies met to admire the flowers or to make flowers, to throw pots, etc., and the men to the pair or to the bow or to write notes, but there was no clear line between the male and female guests, and there were also projects to play with.
As for the servants, they shuttled back and forth to serve their masters. They did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and they had a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
However, amongst these people, they weren't able to see Lian Shiya, this top figure. They didn't know where she had run off to.
At this moment.
Inside Xiao Zhenhai's study room, it was a completely different scene!
However, after asking Xiao Xian Min, she vaguely remembered that there were two groups of people. After one group found out that they had killed the wrong person, they immediately went to chase after Lian Yue's carriage, while the other group teased them for a bit.
However, at that time, she only cared about her and Lian Shiya's lives and didn't know whether the first wave of people had caught up to Lian Ruyue's carriage or not. She also didn't know where they had gone to.
The room was filled with a stiff atmosphere. Xiao Zhenhai's face revealed a rare look of solemnity.
Xiao Shan said, "Father, why don't we just call Lian Ruyue in and interrogate her."
"You can't!" "She is an esteemed guest of the Prime Minister's Estate and all the princes are present today. If we were to capture her and interrogate her, it would only raise suspicions. When we investigate, our Xiao Clan will definitely be implicated."
"What second brother said makes sense. At a time like this, we must not make any move." Xiao Hu said, "But, this is too strange. Ten people, all of them are top experts. How could they disappear into thin air?"
"So, the only answer is, they didn't disappear but were deliberately hidden by someone." Xiao He's eyes, which were like the eyes of a star god, revealed a hint of firmness as he said this.
Xiao Zhenhai didn't say anything. Listening to his three sons' discussion, he frowned deeply. The last three sons all looked at him — —
He slowly stood up from the chair, his eyes flashed, and said, "Go check with Ninth Prince."
"Ninth Prince?" Xiao He's face revealed a bewildered expression.
"It's not that simple, nor is it a coincidence, for a lost prince to be pampered again in such a short period of time. There must be something more to it." Xiao Zhenhai said.
The three sons nodded and said, "Father's words are reasonable."
"I have to find these ten people before nightfall. If I drag this on, it might lead to other matters." Xiao Zhenhai gave the order, "He'Er, you can't disappear from the banquet for no reason. Once you've made the arrangements, go to the back garden and have fun with the crowd. Do not let anyone out of sight."
"Yes, Father."
Xiao He immediately turned around and left, trying his best to avoid looking at them as he hastily went to prepare.
In this seemingly lively and peaceful atmosphere, there was a surging tide of darkness. It was unknown when it would surge out!
In the pavilion.
Lian Lu Yue saw Wang Bei's real work on the novel and walked over to admire it. Qing Dai and Chen Xiang were guarding outside the pavilion, while Leng Mei stood on the other side. She looked like an unremarkable maid, but her eyes were constantly observing her surroundings, cutting off anyone and everything that might harm Lian Meng Yue.
I can't believe that General Zhongwu, a military general, would hide so many masterpieces by his masters in his mansion. This' Bose to Bose 'is an outdated one, and I haven't been able to find it for a long time. Today, it has been placed here for the benefit of the general." Lian Ruyue was silently appreciating it when she heard a voice that was clear and bright, brimming with interest.
Lian Xiyue said, "Now that Wang Xizhi is popular, does Ninth Prince also like Wang Bei's calligraphy?"
Feng Yunzheng walked closer and stood behind Lian Yue. He looked at the letter in front of him and said, "I like Wang Si a bit more."
Looking at these words, Feng Yunzheng's voice became a bit softer. "We've already investigated how Xu Xianfei attacked the Consecutive Technique."
Lian Ru Yue's hands tightened. She already knew that it was because of the empress on the day the spell was taken. With this clue, Feng Yun Zheng quickly found the eighth prince's mother, Xu Xian Fei.
"Don't worry, she doesn't dare to act rashly anymore, so she won't be assassinated while she's on her way to school." Feng Yunzheng said.
"Your Highness, how did you find out?" Lian Xiyue asked. Her gaze slowly shifted to the other side where Feng Ye was drawing his bow with the Sixth Prince and the others. She didn't know what the competition was about, but she seemed very happy.
Feng Yunzheng slowly explained:
"Originally, I didn't know that Consort Xu Xian would be involved with Miao Jiang. Later, a dish from the Lin Hua Palace leaked out the secrets of heaven.
There was a dish in Xu Xian's palace that none of the other chefs in the palace could cook. This dish was — sour soup ribs, a specialty from Miao Jiang.
I checked along this dish and found out that Xu Xianfei's grandfather, Xu Zhen, was stationed at Miao Jing when he was young. On the way back from Miao Jiang, he took the local woman as his concubine and brought her back to the Residence of State Duke. This concubine took the chef with her when she left to relieve her homesickness. In the capital, whenever he thought of home, Chef Miao Jiang would make a sour soup for his concubine's ribs to ease his longing. This sour soup pork chop tasted delicious, it was sour, spicy, and very appetizing, and was very liked by the other members of the Xu family. Xu Xian was no exception, Xu Zhen had Miao Jiang's chef pass the taste of the sour soup pork chop to the other chefs in the palace, and Xu Xian had her own chef learn the taste of the sour soup pork chop after entering the palace.
From this, it could be seen that Xu Xianfei was very clear about some of Miao Jiang's matters.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that she had indeed sent someone to get the Heaven Collapsing Falling Powder from Miao Renlong. "
"So that's how it is." Lian Xiyue nodded. Xu Xianfei was plotting to kill Gu'er! Her eyes revealed a dangerous aura!
My mother's wife intentionally went to the Ling-Hua Palace to learn about the sour pork chop from Xu Xianfei. She even asked about the matter of Duke Xu guarding the Miao border, and Xu Xianfei knew that her trail had been exposed.
Even Ru Yue's words entered his ears.
In her previous life, Lian Fang was killed miserably by the Xiao siblings. Because of her rebirth in this life, her time axis changed a bit because the Xiao family hadn't made a move on Lian Lian Nuan yet! Who would have thought that Xu Xianfei would appear first?
"As for the reason why Xu Xianfei wants to kill the incantation, I have yet to find a reasonable explanation." Feng Yunzheng still did not know that the [Consecutive Formula] was not something related to the Lian Family's flesh and blood.
"Your Highness, there's no need to check, I think I already know …" Lian Ruyue felt like her heart was pierced by a needle. She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe. The truth of the matter was simply too shocking!
"What is it?" Feng Yunzheng felt that there was something wrong with her and hurriedly walked in front of her, blocking her view from the outside.
"Tactics, he …" Not my mother. " Lian Ruyue raised her head and closed her eyes. Her face revealed a trace of deep sorrow as she slowly spoke.
