"The more you run out of energy, the more various things become." Lian Ruyue said indifferently.
"Elder sister, let's not worry about this. Let's go back and rest first." Lian Fu said.
"Mm. You can go back as well."
The two of them split up and headed to their own courtyard. Halfway there, Lian Yue coincidentally met Madam Xiao. It seemed that she had come to an agreement with the Countess and was about to leave.
"Madam Xiao." Lian Meng Yue bowed and said.
"You guys go first, I'll be there shortly." Madam Xiao said to the servants on her left and right.
"Senior Servant Tai, you lead everyone back first." Lian Xiyue knew that Madam Xiao had something to say to her.
When all the servants had left, Madam Xiao looked at Lian Ruyue and said, "Xiao Shan has already been destroyed by you. His future has been lost. As long as you don't touch Xiao He and Xiao Hu, I will not intervene. However, if you touch Xiao He and Xiao Hu's head, I, Lu Xi, will definitely not sit idly and do nothing! "
"Madam Xiao, I don't care what I do. The most important thing is what the three young masters of your family will do." Lian Ruyue said with a faint smile on her face.
"After all, you have never been a mother. There is a meaning that you still can't understand, 'Mother is stronger than I am', 'Mother is stronger', 'I can do anything' for my child. Today's words are advice and a warning, as long as you don't listen to them, it all depends on you. Not every single one of your opponents would be as foolish as Xiao Xian Min. " With that, Madam Xiao turned around with a cold expression.
"Madam Xiao, since you've given me a reminder, let me give you a reminder in return." Lian Ruyue's words successfully stopped Madam Xiao from continuing forward. She turned her head and asked:
"At that time, in order to quickly eliminate the power of the previous dynasty, the Emperor adopted a policy of leniency, taking the former emperor as his vassal lords. Among them, there was Anping Wang Lu Shang, who is also your father, An Qing Wang Pan Xi Lin, and An Guang Wang Li Mao, who are respectively stationed in Pingzhou, Qingnan and Guangping.
Now, the three vassal lords were still governing themselves in their own fiefdom, and there was also the potential for expansion, which had already become quite a threat to the imperial government. And since the imperial government had just defeated Da Liao, its strength had become much stronger than before it had entered the city. Of the three kings, your father, King Anping, is the most powerful. When that happens, King Anping will be the most important matter for the Emperor to reclaim.
The Duke of Xiao and the Marquis had outstanding battle achievements and were the most capable military generals of the imperial government. They would definitely be the main leading choice for the Emperor's vassal lords. The Emperor and his father-in-law … oh, no, not only the father-in-law, but the benefactor as well. Bo Le, which one will he choose? "
"You, who exactly are you?" Madam Xiao's originally calm expression finally collapsed upon hearing Lian Ru Yue's words. She abruptly turned around and asked.
Lian Ruyue smiled faintly and said, "Who I am isn't important. The important thing is that Madam Xiao can think carefully whether what I said is the truth." In fact, there was another fact that Meng Yue hadn't mentioned yet. In his previous life, Xiao Zhenhai knew that the Emperor had decided to eradicate Prince Anping, so he didn't hesitate to be loyal to Emperor Zhou, kill his own wife, and become the leader of the Emperor's army. Because of this, his power reached the peak.
Seeing Madam Xiao's pale face, Lian Lu Yue knew that the results had already been achieved. She turned around and returned to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard.
She wasn't an ignorant girl from the back courtyard. Before marrying Xiao Zhenhai, she had accompanied her father to war. Her father didn't mind that she was a girl when it came to matters of the country, so she understood the matters of the imperial court.
And the most terrifying thing was that she knew that what Lian Ruyue said was the truth.
"Madam, madam …" The maid at the side called out a few times before she came back to her senses and said —
"It's fine. Go back."
As she walked step by step towards the exit of the Prime Minister's Estate, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Lian Ruyue returned to the Celestial Lotus to wash up before lying down to rest. She slept until late morning, and when she woke up to eat, Lian Shiya hurriedly came to find her.
Seeing her anxious and furious expression, then looking at her crippled leg, Lian Yue asked, "Third sister, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Big Sis, to be honest, is the fourth prince being captured by the emperor related to you?" If it was any other time, she would have already jumped up and bitten him, but this time was not the same as the past. When her mother left, she also warned her repeatedly that she should not clash with Lian Ru Yue directly, and that she could just wait for an opportunity to bite her to death with a single bite.
However, as soon as she heard what had happened between Fourth Prince and Lian Ruyue in the palace, she couldn't sit still any longer and ran over to interrogate them, not caring about Sun mama's interference.
"Third Sister, first of all, this is the decision of the Emperor. "Secondly, this is a matter of the palace. Although the Emperor did not say anything about it, he would not allow anyone to shout all over the place. It's best if you pay attention." Lian Ruyue glanced at her and said coldly.
"…" Lian Shiya saw that she didn't care and really wanted to slap her face and tear off her unparalleled face, "Big Sis, others don't know, but I do know that Fourth Prince fell into your trap, right? Why are you being so hard on him? How did he offend you? What benefits do you get by doing this? "
Lian Ru Yue sized up Lian Shi Ya with her eyes and asked, "Third sister, I'm not mistaken, right? For the sake of Fourth Prince being so anxious, isn't the Fourth Prince Xiao Rou's fiance?"
"I just think that you always have conflicts with those imperial relatives, which have a negative impact on the Prime Minister's estate. Although the Fourth Prince is only a duke right now, he's still the Emperor's own son, and the Emperor wouldn't abandon his own son."
Seeing Lian Shiya's face red, white, and red, Lian Xiyue couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
In the past, Lian Shiya was a proud and aloof person. Her goal was the empress, not to mention the eighth prince, even the ninth prince didn't like her. She only had her eyes on the person who ascended to the throne, but no one else was worthy of her.
"Haha …" She couldn't help but chuckle.
Lian Shiya's face sank. "What are you laughing about?"
"Third sister has fallen for His Highness, right?" Lian Ruyue blinked her eyes and asked.
