If it wasn't for the fact that they were at the Lian Clan, Xiao Zhenhai would have killed that idiot Xiao Xian Min with a single slash.

"Big brother, this is all my fault, it's all my fault. I've implicated you, little sister …" Your little sister deserves to die a thousand deaths. " Xiao Xianmin covered her swollen face and carefully apologized.

"Things have already come to this point. Only by using an even bigger matter to cover up this matter will the Emperor not think too much about it." Xiao Zhenhai's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he spoke. He couldn't let the Emperor be more wary of him. The so-called accompanying a tiger was something that once buried in the Emperor's heart, it would never be dispelled.

When the Xiao family heard this, they let go of the hands that covered their cheeks and asked, "Does big brother have any methods?"

"A few days ago, the Emperor inadvertently mentioned this to a few cabinet ministers. Before the flood in Jiangnan, he dreamed that there was a crow hovering above the palace, and after four days and four nights of dreaming, the crow's cry was sharp and ear-piercing. At that time, he already had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but within a few days, a flood appeared and refugees flooded into the north.

The Xiao family's old patriarch's heart trembled as he said in an excited voice, "Big brother means …"

"The moon can no longer stay …" Xiao Zhen Hai said with an ice-cold voice.

Because of the sudden arrival of the emperor, a few more dishes were added to the banquet. Princess Thirteen, Feng Yao, sat beside her father, talking about something that caused the emperor to smile brightly.

Imperial Concubine Su sat at the side watching, feeling extremely gratified in her heart. Although she was unable to keep the little prince, at least he had gained a blessing from her misfortune.

Even his mother and the others were carefully eating and drinking, occasionally exchanging a few words with Imperial Concubine Su.

He really did not expect that Imperial Concubine Su would return to peace, and even attract the emperor's attention. This could be considered a great honor.

Lian Yanqing had always felt that the Emperor's sudden visit was not because he missed Princess Thirteen too much. Although he doted on Princess Thirteen, it was still far from her level. After all, he was the ruler of a country.

His gaze fell on Xiao Zhenhai, who had just returned from the restroom. He could faintly sense a trace of conspiracy from this old monster's body.

Only, under the emperor's watchful eye, during the period when Imperial Concubine Su was at peace, what could he do?

Xiao Zhenhai raised his eyes and saw that Lian Yan Qing was looking at him. He openly raised the wine cup in front of him and toasted him. Lian Yan Qing slowly raised his wine cup.

Lian Ruyue's right eyelid suddenly jumped a few times; her hand trembled as the chopsticks fell from her hand; her heart suddenly began to panic —

"Eldest Miss, what's wrong?" Qing Dai, who was serving him at the side, bowed and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, no worries." Lian Ruyue picked up the chopsticks again, thinking, an inexplicable panic, something must have happened, what could it be?

She slowly looked at Xiao Zhenhai — he definitely wouldn't be willing to accept being tricked by her. He would definitely think of a way to eliminate the bad impression he had of the emperor in front of him.

What did he want?

"Ah!" Ah! "Yah!" At this moment, from who knows where, a few shrill crows' cries suddenly sounded out.

The expression of Zhou Cheng Di, who was talking to Princess Thirteen, suddenly changed. The wine cup in his hand fell on the table with a 'pa' sound, and the wine spilled out.

"Your Majesty …" Imperial Concubine Su quickly said in a low voice and immediately ordered Senior Servant Wan to clean the wine stains on her body.

When Lian Yan Qing saw this, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Your majesty, is the wine not to your liking?"

Xiao Zhenhai saw the emperor's reaction clearly, but he didn't make a sound.

"Ah!" Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! "Yah!" The crow's cries did not stop. On the contrary, the crows' cries became louder and shriller. It was extremely terrifying to hear.

The others also noticed the crow's cry and couldn't help but stop their hands from moving. They felt a burst of panic in their hearts and their mothers clutched their chests. Their voices were trembling as they said:

"H-where did this crow come from?"

"Old madam, don't panic. It's just a bird. It might not be a crow." Senior Servant Song consoled her in a low voice.

"That's right, why is this crow calling out to me? It was just after the first day of the Chinese New Year, so it's time for the celebration." The first wife suddenly felt a bit scared as an ominous premonition arose in her heart. Moreover, the emperor was still here.

When even Xiyue heard the crow's cry, her heart trembled. She raised her head and saw that Zhou Cheng Di had suddenly stood up and said,

"Lian Xiang, bring me to see where this crow is wailing."

"Yes, Your Majesty." When the Emperor gave the order, they had no choice but to leave the banquet to find Crow. Lian Qing's footsteps were stiff as he felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhenhai, but his expression was calm and nothing was out of the ordinary.

All of them followed the crow's call, passing through corridors and alleyways. The crow's call was getting closer and closer, clearer and clearer, and every time it cried out, it felt like it was viciously scratching a person's heart, causing them to panic.

"Eldest Miss, what's going on? Why do I feel like this crow is coming from our Immortal Lotus Courtyard?" For some inexplicable reason, Drunken Fragrance became nervous, and her voice began to tremble.

Lian Ruyue said in a low voice, "Don't panic. Let's go take a look first. Green Branch, pay more attention!" Just like Yan Qing, she also smelt a hint of conspiracy. Crow was a great omen of evil, so it was unlikely that something good would happen.

She looked at Lian Shiya and discovered that even she had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn't know anything.

At this moment, her expression was extremely tense. If the Prime Minister's estate had the so-called omen of great evil, then even a person from the Prime Minister's Estate like her would not be able to escape responsibility!

Following the caw of the crow, they walked until they finally stopped in front of a courtyard. The emperor raised his head and saw an exceptionally large crow hovering above the rooftop as he emitted a shrill cry.

Even the Eldest Madam and the others turned pale with fright!

The emperor's face instantly sank as he asked, "Lian Xiang, whose courtyard is this?"

When Lian Yan Qing saw the words "Immortal Lotus Courtyard" on the signboard, his heart immediately became flustered. Why would Crow appear here? Wasn't Yue Er an extremely expensive person?

"Consecutive!" Seeing Lian Yanqing in a daze, the Emperor couldn't help but feel angry.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" This is my daughter Ruyue's courtyard. " Lian Yanqing hurriedly replied, but in his heart he secretly thought, Crap!

"Lunar Lian?" It was obvious that Zhou Cheng Di had a deep impression of this person. His gaze slowly fell on Lian Ruyue, only to see her standing there, demure and calm. There was no trace of fear on her face, but there was an unperturbed sincerity in her eyes.
