When they recalled the feeling of surviving a calamity today, they heaved a sigh of relief. They were somewhat excited as they chattered on.

"I was so scared today that I thought something must have happened to Eldest Miss."

"That's right young miss, this servant even thought she was doomed."

"Fortunately, Lord Ye Feng arrived in time and saved us. However, that Senior Servant Xiang was still nothing. They didn't even see clearly who saved us."

The two maidservants seemed to talk a bit more than usual, and also seemed to be very happy. As they tidied up the stains on Lian Ruyue's clothes, they chattered on.

Lian Ru Yue didn't say anything as she recalled the scene from before. She looked at her hand and felt that the smell of his body was still lingering around her fingertips.

"Eldest Miss, you should wear your cloak first. Go back to your residence and quickly change into a new one." She tied the straps of her cloak and put Mrs. Tomboy in her hands.

She raised her head in shock and said, "Eldest Miss, did you catch a cold? Your face is so red."

Lian Ruyue stared blankly. She pressed her hand to her face and found that it was astonishingly hot.

"Cold? When we get back to the mansion, we should hurry up and invite Doctor Lu over. It must be because he was wearing wet clothes for too long. " Xia Xiang hurriedly said as she placed an extra Tang Mu beside Lian Ruyue.

"…" Lian Yue, who had always been calm and indifferent, now had a stiff expression. "No, it's too hot." As he spoke, he moved Grandma Tang away from him.

"Hot?" Blue and Dai-xiang blinked at the same time, looking at her in confusion.

"I'll rest for a while. When it's time, you guys can call for me." Lian Ruyue closed her eyes and tightly held the Sage Tang in her hands, not saying another word.

Lian Ru Yue's heart slowly calmed down as she started to think about Feng Qianyue.

It was the same in his previous life, but now that he thought about it, the conditions that Feng Qianyue had promised Xiao Zhenhai, there was definitely a small part of it. Once he ascended the throne, he would kick out Lian Ru Yue as the main target, then eliminate the Xiao family, and allow Lian Shiya to command the harem.

From start to finish, Xiao Zhenhai had never allowed his daughter to marry Feng Qianyue, nor did he allow her to become the empress.

Lian Ru Yue had been puzzled previously, but she slowly came to understand that Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Qianyue's cooperation must be deeply aware of his character. That was why he didn't want his daughter to marry such a sinister and frightening person.

However, he still needed someone he could control to be in charge of the imperial harem and protect his power and influence. This person was undoubtedly the best choice for Lian Shiya, so Lian Shiya used all sorts of beauties to seduce Feng Qianyue.

What he cared about was not Lian Shiya's happiness, but whether or not his power could be consolidated.

But in this life, she wouldn't allow Xiao Zhenhai to arrange everything so well, wouldn't let him gain power and protect his entire family. She wanted to send Feng Qianyue and Xiao Rou into a mess from the very start, and let these two people fall in love and kill each other!

She had never thought of being a good person!

As he was thinking, the horse carriage suddenly arrived, and the horse let out an ear-piercing cry.

Lian Ruyue was stunned for a moment as she recovered from her thoughts.

"Fourth Prince, Eldest Miss is resting inside. She's too tired." A cold voice came from outside the carriage.

Feng Qianyue?

She opened the carriage's curtain to see Feng Qianyue standing in front of the carriage with a sinister expression, his entire body emitting a deep and terrifying aura.

Leng Mei held a sword in her hand, blocking the front of the carriage. She was not afraid, even if the enemy was the emperor, she would pull out her sword and risk her life if it hurt Lian Ruyue.

No matter what, the eldest miss must not have any mishaps, not even a single strand of hair.

Lian Ru Yue didn't seem to be surprised by Feng Qianyue's arrival. She raised her hand and called out, "Leng Mei, put down the sword."

"Yes, Eldest Miss." Her cold eyebrows shot a warning glance at Feng Qianyue before she sheathed her sword and walked back to the side of the carriage.

"Fourth Prince, you're here." Lian Ru Yue looked at Feng Qianyue as she said.

Feng Qianyue walked over, and his gaze stared fixedly at her, as if he wanted to see through her!

"How can your heart be so ruthless?"

"Because it has been tempered a thousand times and has now been refined into steel." Lian Yue Yi lightly said as if she was referring to something.

"You know very well that the person I want to spend my life with is you! I've said it before, the ends of the earth and the vicissitudes of life. Even if you go to hell, I'll drag you along with me. It's fine if you're not tempted, but you … But you forced a woman like Xiao Rou onto me. For the sake of not being with me, you wanted to ruin my life and my happiness? "

Lian Ru Yue looked at him. He was handsome. His pair of deep eyes looked deeply at her. It was filled with pain, grief, and loss …

So deep, so deep!

Even Ru Yue looked like she was about to cry. She turned her face away and didn't look at him.

This action, in Feng Qianyue's eyes, caused him to think that she was touched. He continued:

"Lian Ru Yue, I finally remembered what you said to me at Princess An Guo's residence that day. You said you would never forgive me, didn't you?"

Lian Ruyue looked at his broken expression, tightly holding onto her clothes and not speaking. Her eyes were like glass, quietly emitting a layer of radiance.

If it was her previous life, as long as Feng Qianyue opened his mouth, she would forgive him even if he were to frown a little.

Lian Ru Yue looked at the man before her. Her vision gradually turned blurry as she suddenly thought of something …

At that time, her daughter, Le Yan, was already seven years old. All these years, she had wanted to add more to Feng Qian's life, but Feng Qianyue had said that now was not the time. The more family one had, the more death knots they would have.

Even though she really liked children, she had listened to his arrangements because of what Feng Qianyue said. In those years, they only had Le Yan as their child.

Once, not long before Feng Qianyue ascended to the throne, Aunt Xiao and Lian Shiya had come to the prince's mansion to visit together. Feng Qianyue had deliberately set aside half a day's time for them to have lunch together, but when it was time for them to leave, Lian Shiya suddenly felt uncomfortable and her body went limp as she fainted on the ground.

Lian Meng Yue left the mother and daughter to rest at the prince's mansion. Because Lian Shiya always said that she wasn't feeling well, she stayed here for three days.

One day, Lian Xiyue came out of the study after reading the medical book. At that time, she studied the medical book day and night just to alleviate the pain on Feng Qianyue's body.

She saw Le Yan sitting on the steps of the study room. Her thin body looked a little sad. Lian Yue smiled and motioned for the servants to leave. She carefully walked to her daughter's side and called out:

"Leyan, what are you thinking about?"

Le Yan turned around, her bright eyes were depressed. Lian Yue was stunned for a moment as she hugged her daughter apologetically, "Le Yan, could it be that mother has read too many medical books and ignored you? "Sorry."

"No." Le Yan shook her head. "No."

"Then what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?" Lian Ruyue asked.

"I …" Le Yan wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat. In the end, she didn't say anything. Even Ru Yue, who was a six or seven year old, was a little careful, so she didn't ask any questions.

Later on, Lady Xiao and Lian Shiya left, and Le Yan finally walked up to her and said, "Mother, I've seen Aunt come out of Father's study twice."
