"I know, I know." Liu Xi Ren also knew that there were too many people here, if someone overheard this, who knew what would happen.

Lian Ruyue looked at the Leaky Pot and the banquet was about to start. However, when she looked at the male guest's seat, she still did not see Lian Fu.

She said to Liu Xi Ren, "I'll go take a look at Lian Fu and have him return early."

"Go."

"This prince and Xiao Rou have officially been engaged. Xiao Zhenhai will ask for royal father's permission to marry me earlier." Just as Lian Ruyue walked out of the hall and was about to head to the Garden of Jade Light to look for Liu Xi, Feng Qianyue blocked her path.

Even Ru Yue looked around. This road was secluded and wouldn't attract much attention. It seemed like Feng Qianyue had long since seen the timing.

When she heard this, she lightly said, "Congratulations."

Feng Qianyue clenched his fist tightly. He had to cripple some of his strength before he was able to control his impulse to strangle the woman in front of him to death!

"Lian Rue, can't you see? "I don't want to. I don't like her. I think it's too much to even look at her, I …"

"If you really don't want to, then no one can be as smart as the Fourth Prince. Your highness, like I said before, no one can get what they want without paying the price. If you want Xiao Zhenhai to support you, then the marriage agreement with Xiao Rou is what you have to pay." Every single time, no matter how excited Feng Qian was, or how indifferent he was, or how calm Lian Ru Yue was, she would always speak indifferently.

Feng Qianyue's fist slowly loosened as he said, "This place is a secret. Even if this king kills you here, I have a way that no one will be able to find me. You'd better believe this."

"I believe, and I have no doubt." Lian Ru Yue nodded her head, "But, the fourth prince should also believe in one thing. If you kill me here, I will make sure that you won't be able to escape unscathed."

"…" Feng Qianyue stared at Lian Ri Yue and felt a wave of regret in his heart. Such a smart girl was truly rare in this world, but unfortunately, her heart was with Feng Yunzheng! Moreover, no matter what method he used, she would push him far, far away.

Since that was the case, he could only end it here.

He said, "Lian Meng Yue, this king now officially declares that from now on, we are enemies and that we will be irreconcilable. If I have the chance to kill you, I will not be merciful."

"Lian Ruyue is waiting for this day to come!" She turned and walked away without looking back.

Feng Qianyue raised his hand and smashed it fiercely against the wall! The palm was broken.

"Why did Your Highness get together with that little bitch?" He turned around, and just as he was about to enter the hall, Xiao Zhenhai appeared before him.

"I met him and said a few words." Currently, due to Xiao Rou, he and Xiao Zhenhai had become members of the same faction. Within this faction, he was the core commander while Xiao Zhenhai was the strategist and elder.

This poisonous scorpion, Xiao Zhenhai, was very good at handling the relationship between him and Feng Qianyue. The moment Feng Qianyue felt that he was too close, he would quietly step back, and at this moment, he sensed Feng Qianyue's displeasure. He bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, tonight we must focus all of our attention into this one move of yours, killing him so that he will never be able to rise again!"

In these past few days, after Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Qianyue had investigated jointly, they discovered that the matter of the Xiao family's army had been repeatedly thwarted.

"Blame it on the fact that Ninth Royal Brother has extended your hand too long. You can't blame me for being too ruthless and merciless as your elder brother!" Feng Qianyue's gaze revealed a trace of sinister viciousness!

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived!"

"The empress has arrived!"

At this moment, the loud and shrill voice of a eunuch came from outside the hall. Everyone immediately returned to their places and knelt on the ground as they shouted —

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager has lived for thousands of years!"

"Long live the empress! Long live the empress!"

A tsunami-like voice resounded from the Supreme Ocean Palace all the way to the True Sun Sect.

He saw Empress Dowager Hui Ren walking in the middle of the crowd, her hand resting on the arms of Emperor Zhou Cheng and Empress Xiang Wen. The empress dowager was dressed in a green satin robe, embroidered with large bunches of golden silk, lotus leaves, lilac flowers, and the pattern of her chest. Her long satin gown was draped over the ground, and her whole body was exuding an aura as heavy as Mount Tai.

Behind the three of them were the fourth concubine of the palace, the noble concubine Liang, Xu Xian, Feng Defei and Lian Shufei.

Lian Ruyue's gaze fell on Xu Xianyue. When she saw the incantation, her smiling face couldn't help but change color. No one else noticed the slight change, but they were unable to escape Lian Ruyue's Fiery Eyes of Truth.

The empress dowager sat down in the middle of the room and looked at the gathered emperors. A smile appeared on the empress dowager's face. She nodded and said,

"Everyone, rise."

"Empress Dowager Xie!" With another wave of cheers, everyone took their seats.

"Let's begin." At the emperor's command, the banquet officially began.

The palace maids and eunuchs entered in an orderly line. In front of the table, there were fifteen grades of food: meat, vegetables, seventh grade, fruits, eighth grade.

A cheerful and courteous voice came from the center of the hall. Everyone was dancing gracefully, and the atmosphere was filled with a cheerful and auspicious atmosphere.

At night, the night was just like a thick layer of ink. The moon in the sky was also swallowed up by the darkness. Only a faint layer of light was faintly discernible through the clouds. The entire Residence of Prime Minister was shrouded in darkness.

In Fuan Courtyard, the first wife was sitting on the edge of the bed. The maidservant propped up her feet, took off her shoes and boots, and prepared to rest on the bed.

Ah!

Suddenly, a sharp cry broke the silence of the dark night. The first wife was about to cover herself with the blanket when she suddenly heard such a shout. She was startled and hurriedly sat up.

Ah!

Ah!

At this time, the screams sounded out again. The sounds were getting closer and closer to Fuan Academy. Every sound was causing one's heart to tremble.

"What happened? "Who is it?" The first wife was panicking as she got off the bed in a hurry to get dressed.

"Madam, please don't move. This servant will take a look outside." Senior Servant Zhou remembered Eldest Miss' repeated warnings and quickly made Eldest Madam lie down.

"We've been robbed!" A thief! The first wife is in trouble, the master's study has been robbed! "

At this moment, another shout came from outside. It was unknown who was the one that was shouting "Madam".

When the first wife heard this, she was shocked. A thief in the study? Lian Yan Qing's study room must have a lot of documents related to the imperial government's secrets. Since the thieves didn't steal them from other places, but they stole the study room, there must be some unspeakable secrets!
