"Yeah, and mother is right. How can we not hire a theater crew?" Mrs Liu said in a low voice, her tone was full of pride. After being glared at by her mother, she shut her mouth and did not speak.

Then the housekeeper came in, and presented the list of the guests to his mother, who checked and corrected when the guests would enter the theatre and how they would arrange their seats.

After the steward left, the staff room and the kitchen came in and announced the dishes and drinks for the day of the banquet one by one. Even his mother nodded as she listened and said, "The empress dowager last used the Nine Brewing Spring Wine for the birthday banquet, so we can't use it. We can't exchange this wine for the Crane Year Longevity Wine."

Soon after, the servants assigned to attend the birthday feast were a few mama and maidservants. Even the mother said, "This area has always been the responsibility of the second room, so the second room should be responsible as well. That day, there were a lot of guests, so no mishaps should happen."

"Yes, mother." Hu Shi stood up and looked coldly at Mrs Liu.

"Hmph." Mrs Liu coldly harrumphed as she thought in her heart, 'What's so great about it? I don't want to worry about it.'

"This time for the birthday celebration, the emperor personally ordered us to properly manage it. This is the emperor's love for the Lian family. All of you have to be on high alert and not let anything go wrong, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

After that, his mother gave a few more detailed instructions to the rooms on the day of the birthday feast before everyone left one by one.

As the birthday banquet approached, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's residence became more and more tense. Everyone was preparing for their own future.

When this news was spread, the entire imperial court was stirred. Since the emperor valued the birthday of the company, the other officials naturally followed suit, secretly preparing the wedding gift before the birthday had even arrived.

Lian Meng Yue understood —

Actually, this was because the Emperor had just abdicated the position of Imperial Consort Su, so in order to pacify Emperor Lian, he had done so. This was the Emperor's technique.

Hall of Rongyuan.

When Emperor Zhou Cheng finished reviewing the imperial reports, he was preparing to go to Meng Hua Palace's imperial concubine, only to see the thirteen women, Feng Wu Yao, come in. When she saw him, Feng Wu Yao quickly knelt down and said:

"Young lady greets you, Imperial Father."

Zhou Chengdi sat on the chair and looked at the people kneeling in front of him. Her face was somewhat pale, and she seemed to have lost some weight as well. It was probably because of Lian Zhao's influence.

He couldn't help but sigh. Even though the empress dowager had punished him and asked for it, this daughter of his was still his favorite.

"Deng Yao`er, in your heart, are you blaming your royal father?"

"Nope." Feng Yang Yao hurriedly raised her head, and shook her head, saying, "I, Zhang Yao'er, will not blame my royal father. I know that my royal father is the ruler of a country, and there are many things his royal father cannot do for personal gain, so my royal father punishes my mother because she did something wrong. My daughter wishes to meet my royal father to inform him that my son and my mother will correct their mistakes and wait for my royal father to forgive us."

In his heart, the Emperor could not help but feel that he had let down this daughter of his. Presumably, even Zhaoyi had arranged the matter of swimming in the lake in order to please him, and after being demoted to Zhaoyi, the two of them had never cried or complained about it, especially this Yao'er, who not only did she not complain, but she was also thinking about everything.

"Get up. Feng Degui, you can go back to Imperial Concubine Liang's side. I'll go to Lian Zhaoyi's place tonight." The Emperor changed the sign he flipped over and instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Degui had changed the plate to Lian Zhaoyi's.

"Thank you Imperial Father, Zhuo Yao'er, thank you Imperial Father." Feng Tang Yao stood up and walked over to the emperor's side. He snuggled into her arms, and the smile in the corner of his eyes deepened.

This was what the mother had told her. Right now, there was only the best way to advance, and that was to give birth to a dragon for the emperor.

With the arrival of Lian Yan's birthday, the Xiao Clan was secretly carrying out a plan.

In front of a house that looked simple and crude, Xiao He held a portrait in his hand and stood high atop a handsome horse. Behind him were a few guards who were riding white horses as well.

The door creaked open, and a woman in a simple coarse robe with a gray kerchief on her head came out carrying a bamboo strip.

Xiao He looked at the drawing before looking at the woman, and his travel worn face finally revealed a trace of a smile.

The woman felt a cold gaze and raised her head. When she saw the person in front of her, her face turned pale and the bamboo slip fell to the ground. The tea leaves inside were scattered all over the ground.

Xiao He grunted coldly, then leaped off the horse with his long legs, followed by a few guards.

"This marquis didn't guess wrong. The charred corpse in the well isn't you at all."

Seeing this, Hui Zhi immediately lifted up the low stool in front of him and smashed it onto Xiao He's body. Xiao He agilely tilted his head and the stool brushed past his ear, falling onto the ground.

Hui Zhi turned around and ran, Xiao He's expression froze, he raised his hand and ordered, "Chase! "Capture him alive."

"Yes, young duke!"

How could a woman like Hui Zhi outrun Xiao He's underlings? She had only run less than a hundred meters before she was captured alive. The guard pressed her hands behind her back in front of Xiao He.

When Hui Zhi opened her mouth and was about to bite her tongue to commit suicide, Xiao He's eyes narrowed, and he quickly grabbed onto her neck, forcing her mouth to open so that it couldn't fit her teeth.

"You want to kill yourself? Let's first get His Highness's innocence back. " As he said this, he stuffed a rag into her mouth, making her unable to bite his tongue. Hui Zhi's eyes stared at her.

"Return to the Xiao Residence!" Xiao He once again leaped onto the back of his horse after giving the order.

Hui Zhi was stuffed into a sack, thrown onto the horse's back, and rushed all the way back to the capital.

After rushing through the night, Xiao He finally returned to the Xiao family and ordered the guards to settle Hui Zhi down properly before heading to Xiao Zhenhai's study. At this moment, he was discussing these things with Xiao Hu, the third son.

"Father, the palace maid has been found. She is now arranged to live below, under the personal protection of my guards."

"Hahaha!" Xiao Zhen Hai stood up and laughed out loud. He patted Xiao He's shoulder three times and said, "That's great! He Er, you were right. The entire problem is with this palace maid!"

"Second Brother, you're so awesome. You found all the 'dead' people. This time, the Fourth Prince is saved." Xiao Hu happily praised his brother.

Xiao Zhenhai's face revealed a sinister and cold smile as he said, "Then I'll use this gift as a birthday present for Lian Yan Qing!" "Hahaha …"

After exiting Xiao Zhenhai's study, Xiao He's body relaxed. Xiao Rou, who was leaning on a walking stick, excitedly followed him. "Second brother, second brother …"
