"No need for formalities." The Emperor sat down on the chair and said.

Lian Shufei was full of smiles as she said, "Chenqie doesn't know that the emperor has come. I haven't even stewed the plum meat I prepared yesterday. Chenqie will go take a look now." She would often make her own special and delicious food for the emperor to enjoy.

"Love concubines always do things for me personally, and it just so happens that I love the dishes my wife cooks. Every time I come to your side, I feel like I'm living the life of an ordinary couple." The emperor looked at Lian Shufei with a kind smile.

"Your majesty has so much to do every day that chenqie can't help with anything. If your majesty likes chenqie's side dishes, then chenqie will be blessed." "Your Majesty, please allow my nephew Gu'er to speak with you. Your consort will go take a look at the plum meat first."

"Yes, Aunt." Lian Fu bowed slightly.

The emperor sat on the chair as he looked at the youth before him with a trace of probing in his eyes. He asked, "I remember that you begged Yue'er to bring you to my royal study last time, saying that you would use a secret to exchange for your legitimate sister's life. What is that secret?"

Lian Meng replied, "Back then Lian Lian Fu said that he would use a secret to exchange for my sister's life. But after that, the emperor took the initiative to release my sister, so there was no need for me to exchange with the emperor."

When the Emperor heard this, he was instantly stunned! When Eunuch Feng Degui heard this, he too was startled. This young master Lian was very bold. It was best if he didn't anger the emperor.

"Hahaha, hahahaha …" Who knew that the Emperor would not get angry and instead burst out laughing. He said repeatedly, "Interesting, this is really interesting. No one has ever dared to speak to me like this. You're the first."

"What's there to say about it?" He tried to ignore the idea that the Son of Heaven in front of him was his own father.

"Haha, what a great 'whatever you want to say'. I never thought that even a pair of children would be so interesting!" The Emperor wasn't angry at all. Instead, a trace of admiration was revealed in his eyes. "Feng Degui, go and get my treasure spirit bow. I want to bestow it to Lian Fu."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Degui was secretly surprised to see that not only did this Lian family's young master not anger the Emperor, he even received the gift from the Emperor.

Seeing that Feng Degui was about to go get the reward, he frowned slightly. Then, he suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Chengdi and said, "If Your Majesty really wants to bestow a treasure to your technique, can you spare your bow?"

"Oh? "Then what do you want?" The emperor curiously looked at the hand sign and asked.

Today in the Imperial Garden, when I saw the princess by chance, she not only took care of me, but also took care of the empress. The steamed bread she ate was cold, and the old and hard chicken bone had fallen off.

When the smiling Zhou Cheng Di heard Lian Fu's words, his face immediately changed and he stood up, "What did you say? Are you questioning my punishment of the empress and the others? How dare you question my decision in such a way? Tong Fu, did you eat the guts of a leopard? "

"Your majesty, this is not the meaning of the Consecutive Techniques!" Lian Meng kneeled down on one knee and said, "I just think that Princess Eleven is innocent. She didn't do anything wrong. She shouldn't have suffered so much."

"Humph!" The Emperor grunted coldly. "You didn't do anything wrong?" "I had wanted to cripple the empress, but she dared to use her position to threaten me in front of all these people. She didn't care at all about my father's identity and position, it's such a big mistake!"

"But she is the daughter of the Emperor, isn't she? "Your Majesty, how could you bear to see her do what the palace maids do every day? Because she's hungry and has to personally go to the imperial kitchens to ask for food."

"Enough!" The emperor suddenly slapped the table and said, "Lian Fu, I have forgiven you the first time and will not forgive you the second time. If you insist on speaking up for 11 years, I will punish you for your disrespect!"

When Lian Meng heard this, he slowly lowered his head and said, "Lian Fu, you thought that the emperor would be willing to listen to my words. Lian Meng, you've overthought things. Please forgive me."

When the Emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned.

"Your Majesty …" At the same time, Lian Shufei rushed out when she heard the sound. When she saw Lian Fu kneeling on the ground, she quickly kneeled down and said, "Your majesty, didn't Lian Fu run into your emperor? Your consort and he will seek forgiveness from the Emperor. "

Seeing Lian Shufei so nervous, the emperor calmed himself down a bit. "Don't be nervous, beloved concubine. Stand up."

"Yes, thank you, your majesty." Lian Shufei stood up and looked at Lian Fu, feeling a little apprehensive.

The emperor looked at Lian Meng and said coldly, "You get up too."

"Thank you, your majesty." Lian Fang stood up, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

In the end, he didn't succeed in pleading for Princess Eleven. When Lian Meng and Lian Ruyue left Yi Xiu Palace together, they seemed to have something weighing on their minds.

"Yi'er, are you worried about the princess?" Lian Ruyue asked when she saw his frown.

"The Emperor still hasn't agreed." Lian Fu felt a bit depressed in his heart. His eyes dimmed and he sighed.

"This is within my expectations. The Emperor will not let Princess Eleven return to her original life just because of your words." Lian Ruyue said, "Now that the empress has been forced into the cold palace and the crown prince has no hope of re-establishing himself, the princess will definitely be implicated like this. The emperor didn't cripple the empress that day and kept the princess' position."

"But she's innocent. She didn't do anything."

Lian Ru Yue sighed. In this regard, Yi'er and Princess Eleven were very similar. She said gently, "Yi'er, in this fight, no one is innocent. Her identity, her location, has already decided her fate. No matter how she breaks free, she won't be able to break free from the shackles of fate. Princess Eleven's shackles are the empress and the crown prince."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes." Lian Ruyue said, "Unless Princess Eleven meets a good person who truly loves her and doesn't despise her, is willing to bear the danger from the empress and the crippled crown prince, is willing to marry her and let her leave the palace, and her in-laws won't look down on her just because of what happened. They will wholeheartedly protect her."

When Lian Meng heard this, he immediately fell silent and lowered his head.

"Let's go, it's getting late. We should get out of the palace. I haven't forgotten about Princess Eleven either." Lian Ruyue lightly patted his clothes and said.

"Yes."

Just as the two were about to leave the imperial garden, they bumped into the approaching eighth prince, Feng Ye. Seeing Lian Xiyue's surprised expression, Feng Ye couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
