Lian Ruoyi was sitting on a chair before leaving the Moon Palace to pay his respects to Lian Zhao Yi. The crown that symbolized the noble concubine of First-grade was removed from her head and she had changed into the same attire as Lian Zhao Yi.
At this moment, he was holding his head up with his hands and the space between his eyebrows was taut. The lively expression from before was no longer there. His eyes were also covered by a layer of grey mist, giving him a decadent feeling.
"Aunt …" Lian Ruyue looked at this dispirited and powerless woman and called out to her. But the corners of her mouth held a trace of ridicule. She had plotted for more than ten years and enjoyed the glory for more than a decade.
Hearing this sound, Lian Zhaoyi slowly raised her head. Her heart suddenly tightened, as if a cold blade had ruthlessly cut through her body, causing her entire body to tremble.
She suddenly realized that this niece in front of her was very strange. This niece of hers was completely different from the obedient and obedient person she remembered. This was clearly the gaze of a child, yet it was so calm and indifferent that it was beyond ordinary. When she looked at his eyes, for a moment, she even felt a sense of cowardice, a cowardice that arose from the bottom of her heart.
"You should be the one who did this, right?" Lian Zhaoyi finally asked the question in his heart. His voice couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
When she received the imperial edict, she sat here for a very long time. She had been thinking and thinking for a long time until she finally understood what happened today.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? Why can't Yue Er understand it?" Lian Ruyue quietly stood in front of Lian Zhaoyi. Her expression was very calm, but her eyes were abnormally cold.
Today, His Highness's analysis is correct, the boat itself must not be a problem, I, you, Wu Yao`er had no problems on the boat, but after me and my son left, the emperor boarded the boat and something happened, during this period of time, you were the only one on the boat, besides you no one else could do anything on the bed, am I right? Lian Zhaoyi's voice trembled. She suddenly felt that this child in front of her was extremely terrifying.
"Aunt, Yue'er was specially brought into the palace by you, and you specially arranged for this cruise. If it was Yue'er who did it, the empress dowager and the emperor would definitely think it was Aunt directing Yue'er, right? Yue'er is just a child, she doesn't have the guts to do so." Lian Ruyue lightly said, the corner of her mouth still had a trace of a faint smile.
"You …" "You really did it. You caused me to lose my position as one of the Fourth Concubine, which does not benefit the Lian Family at all. You are the eldest concubine of the Lian Family, which does not benefit the Lian Family, so why did you do this to yourself?"
"Aunt, this is just your guess. At the same time, Yue Er advises you not to speak carelessly. Otherwise, if you can't keep this position, what will happen to Princess Thirteen in the future?" Lian Ruyue didn't comment at all on Lian Zhaoyi's words. In her faint reminder, there was an undisguised coldness.
Only now did Lian Zhaoyi realize that she had misjudged Lian Ruyue for so long!
However, she was right. She was the one who called those people into the palace, and if Chu Yueli was exposed, the consequences would be even greater. By then, even she would not be able to keep her position.
"You, aren't you afraid that I'll tell your father?" Lian Zhaoyi was unwilling to believe that she actually fell into the hands of a fourteen year old child. She fiercely stood up and asked.
"Aunt, rest early. The palace is like the sea. You must leave well." Lian Ruyue's face revealed a faint smile as she slightly curtsied before turning around and leaving.
"…" Lian Zhaoyi's knees went soft as she collapsed into a chair. She really wasn't afraid. There was no fear in this child's eyes. He didn't even put the absolute authority of the family in his eyes.
How could this be …
Lian Zhaoyi's mind once again thought about what happened today. He reversed step by step until Feng Qianyue was imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice. All of this was like a plot;
Then there was Hui Zhi. Was it Feng Qianyue or Lian Yue?
Lian Zhaoyi's whole body shivered. He suddenly felt that his own palace was not safe. She tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hand as if she had seen a ghost.
He had already changed out of his drenched clothes. In the faint darkness of the night, he was dressed in a jade white brocade robe with the blue cloud pattern embroidered on the side. It was like a beautiful picture scroll, pleasing to the eyes.
She let out a sigh of relief and called out, "Ninth Prince."
"Lian Zhaoyi suspects you, right?" Feng Yunzheng looked at her face and asked.
Lian Ru Yue nodded and chuckled. "It's not doubt, it's certainty. However, she doesn't dare to do anything and will secretly eat this yellow lotus."
"This is even better. In the future, she will definitely not dare to have any more ideas about you. Even if it wasn't for today's incident, I would still let her give up on the idea of using you." Feng Yunzheng's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
"…" Remembering that she had returned the cape and golden hairpin, Lian Ruyue opened her mouth and said, "Your Highness …"
Feng Yunzheng seemed to know what she was thinking. His face revealed a relieved expression as he asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
"Fortunately, I've already gotten used to it. If it wasn't so exciting, I wouldn't have gotten used to it." Lian Ruyue lightly pouted and said with a faint smile.
"The most exciting thing should be Feng Qianyue. From the prince to the king, then to the prisoners, in a short period of time. Just thinking about it makes one feel excited." Feng Yunzheng laughed involuntarily as he recalled the expression on Feng Qianyue's face as he was escorted to the Ministry of Justice's Prison today.
"However, he definitely won't admit defeat just like that. Furthermore, there is Xiao Zhenhai. Since their interests are closely intertwined, Xiao Zhenhai will definitely think of a way to save him." Lian Ru Yue was fully aware of Feng Qianyue's personality. He was like a nine-headed snake that entered through every opening, and he was also like a fox with nine lives; he was extremely cunning.
She had to admit that if it wasn't for her rebirth body, she wouldn't even be a match for him. No wonder her previous life was devoured to the point where not even her bones were left.
"Actually, it's not impossible for him to end his life in prison this time." Feng Yunzheng said, his gaze towards Lian Rue was somewhat deep.
"No, my goal was never for him to die. Death is the best release, Feng Qianyue is not worthy of this release. Even Shiya, Xiao Xianmin, and Xiao Zhenhai are not worthy of this release!
In my previous life, I had my limbs chopped off, my eyes gouged out, my ears cut off, and I was locked in a livestock shed in the outskirts of Beijing. When I still had my mouth full, I couldn't go up, and I couldn't break my breath, my only thought everyday was to quickly let me die, hurry up and let me die, if I die, then I'll be free.
