"Eighth Prince."
"Eighth Prince." Lian Ruyue and Lian Fu said at the same time.
Feng Ye looked at Lian Meng Yue and asked, "Why are you two here?"
His eyes were tired, and his brow was no longer as proud as it had been. His face was heavy.
He saw that the eighth prince had something to say to his sister, so he made an excuse and left the imperial garden. He had always liked the eighth prince, and in the past, when he was with the sixth prince, the eighth prince would often be present, which made him feel that the eighth prince was frank and straightforward.
The two stood under a Hibiscus tree. Lian Ruyue quietly stood there with her head lowered, while Feng Ye's gaze was always on her.
These past few days, he had been entering the palace every day, going to the Winter Palace to guard Xu Xianfei.
It turned out that a few days ago, she was frightened by a group of snakes, causing her heart to palpitate.
No matter where she sat, no matter when, she would always suspect that snakes were crawling out. Even when the Emperor went to Winter Palace for the night, she would wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, dreaming that there were many snakes surrounding her, and then she would begin to scream. The Emperor was also frightened by her screams.
"Little girl, time flies. I remember the last time we met, it was last year in Yao City. Look at you, you've grown taller." Feng Ye said as he looked at Lian Meng Yue, who had grown half a head taller.
"Yeah, time flies. Does Your Highness know who chased after you back in Yao City?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"I already knew half a year ago, so this time, I also secretly gave him a small gift." "After royal father punished Xiao Shan, I went to Ronghua Hall and knelt in front of royal father. I was moved by his words and put it down to reason, asking him to forgive the four royal brothers. royal father was greatly angered and reprimanded me, after a short while, he wrote an imperial decree to demote the four royal brothers."
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her eyes showed a slight difference. It seemed that the eighth prince was more meticulous than she had imagined. When Feng Ye took the opportunity to plead for him at this time, he could only further arouse the anger within the Emperor's heart, as well as his dissatisfaction with Feng Qianyue. If he tried to contact him again regarding the matter of him asking to marry Xiao Zhenhai's broken daughter, he would feel that this seemingly low-key and reserved son of his that did not fight for him had already secretly won over his subjects and brothers, and he would be anxious to suppress Feng Qianyue.
"The eighth prince's actions are truly the finishing touch." Lian Ruyue could not help but sigh.
"What about you? How were you after that?" Feng Ye looked at her always cold eyes and asked.
Lian Ruyue nodded, "I'm fine."
The two became silent again. A wave of warmth surged in Feng Ye's heart. He was ready to spew it out, but he held it back.
"Eighth Prince, you have something to ask me, right?" Lian Ruyue asked.
Feng Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he sounded very calm. "Yes, but I'm worried that once I ask, we won't even have the chance to stand there and talk properly."
On the day of the empress dowager's birthday banquet, Lian Fu told the emperor about a matter. He said that he and his sister had been nearly bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and later on, the imperial bodyguard who had testified even brought out the snake.
He had a feeling that there must be a connection between these two matters. The snake in his mother's palace had not appeared by chance, but had been secretly arranged by someone. And this person …
He looked at Lian Ri Yue, secretly clenching and unclenching his fists.
"If the eighth prince asks, I will answer truthfully." Lian Ru Yue knew what he wanted to ask, so she wouldn't beat around the bush. She wouldn't use the trick she used on Feng Qian Yue, but their positions were different, and their factions were different. Xu Xian Fei repeatedly used her vital link technique, which was unforgivable.
"I won't give up the fight for the throne, even if it's for my mufei." Behind him was the House of Xu. His future was related to the fate of many people.
"I know. I hope that the eighth prince can accomplish what he wants. But, do not hurt the [Consecutive Formula]. No matter who it is, I will risk my life for him." Lian Ruyue's voice was calm, but it had a frightening power.
"Little girl, let's make an agreement." As the wind blew, his hair fluttered around his temples, and the edge of his robe fluttered.
"What kind of agreement?" Lian Ruyue asked as she faced him.
"If there comes a day when you make me a fish for chopping, and let my mufei live; if I make you a fish for chopping, I will agree to any of your conditions, alright?" The corners of Feng Ye's lips perked up, a smile on his face.
"Then won't the eighth prince suffer a loss?" Lian Ruyue pinched the handkerchief under her sleeve and said.
"Not at all!" Feng Ye smiled gracefully and turned to leave, his smile still domineering.
Lian Ruyue quietly watched as he quickly disappeared into the depths of the imperial garden. She understood that the battle between her and the eighth prince had officially begun …
Unless, Xu Xianfei could give up on the Condemning Consecration Technique and also give up on the struggle for power.
"Ye'er, you're here?" Empress Dowager Jin was feeding her medicine as she sat on a chair. Her face was slightly pale, and there was a layer of dark circles under her eyes. It looked like she hadn't slept well last night.
Seeing Feng Ye enter, her face revealed a hint of a smile.
"Mufei is much better." Feng Ye sat down and asked.
"…" "As long as I close my eyes, I'll dream of that snake coiling around my body. I won't be able to sleep soundly no matter what," Xu Xianfei sighed. "As long as I close my eyes, I'll dream of that snake coiling around my body.
When Feng Ye heard this, he did not say anything. Seeing his wrinkled brow, Xu Xian Fei asked:
"Ye'er, you've spoken very little today. Do you have something on your mind?"
Feng Ye raised his eyes to look at his mufei and asked, "Did mufei arrange that viper with the Biting Sutra?"
"Clank!" As soon as Feng Ye asked this question, the medicine bowl in Senior Servant Jin's hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
She quickly bent over and picked up the bowl. "This servant deserves to die."
Xu Xian's expression also changed, becoming stiff. "Gold Nanny, you go down first."
"Yes, your servant will take his leave."
"Why? "Mufei, your skills are still only that of a child and you haven't gained anything, so they can't pose any threat to us. Besides, we don't have any conflicts with the Residence of Prime Minister, and we haven't even helped any princes. Why would mufei do that?" Feng Ye stood up and asked successively with a rare tone of excitement.
