C540 Yearning

Indeed! Xiao Rou had truly been taken advantage of by that old slut, Xian Fei. If this plot was successful, Xu Xian Fei would have to teach both the Xiao family and Lian Ru Yue a lesson. He wanted to strangle her immediately!

Feng Qianyue secretly clenched his fists inside his sleeves as he thought about how he should help Xiao Rou escape so that he wouldn't be dragged into it. However, this idiot dug holes after holes for him to jump into, so he couldn't even pull him up.

Now that it was royal father who was handling this matter, he could not interfere any further, and had to be even more careful with his words!

Xiao Zhenhai was quite angry as well. Who would believe Xiao Rou when she spoke sometimes, sometimes even sometimes? This child was getting more and more stupid. He was anxious to achieve something, yet he couldn't think of a good idea.

"So all of these actions were done to deal with me." Lian Ru Yue sniggered as she looked towards Xiao Shan with a teasing look in her eyes. "In the end, it was a coincidence that you killed Senior Servant Jin."

"I didn't kill Grandma Jin and the dagger wasn't mine. Don't wrongly accuse me!" Xiao Shan viciously stared at Lian Ru Yue as he said.

Your majesty, this humble subject has observed the wounds on this Jin mama's body. The murderer is extremely cruel, and every slash has penetrated his body, the blade in his heart is even more fatal. My unfilial son, Xiao Shan, has no enmity with this Jin mama, and he has absolutely no reason to act so viciously.

Xiao Zhenhai thought that the most important thing right now was to defend Xiao Shan. This was happening in the palace, and the death of Senior Servant Jin was strange. It involved the safety of the palace. Since the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't let it go so easily.

Once the murder was confirmed, that Xu Xianyue would be on the line and would not let Xiao Shan off. If it was more serious, Xiao Shan would probably be executed by the Ministry of Justice. He could not lose his eldest son.

Father, this son believes that the words of the Duke of Xiao are reasonable. This son had also seen the viciousness of Senior Servant Jin's wound earlier, especially the knife that was stabbed into her heart, hitting her heart perfectly in one blow and killing her with one blow. This son thinks that only a professional assassin would be able to do such a thing. Feng Qianyue echoed Xiao Zhenhai's words.

Lian Yue coldly looked at these people as a trace of coldness flashed past her heart. Some of them tried their best to defend themselves in front of the emperor for their own benefit and others who cared about their own.

Who would have thought that all these schemes were aimed at her, Lian Yue? Who would have thought that if she wasn't prepared, the person who would have been stabbed to death by the dagger today wouldn't have been Grandma Jin, but her instead?

If she had died, these people would only be secretly rejoicing, and definitely not be like this.

"Hehe," an ice-cold and bitter expression crept across the corner of her mouth.

Slowly lowering her head, her gaze fell on the red rope on her wrist. This was something that Feng Yunzheng had "forced" her hand to wear before leaving the capital. This bright red color set off her snow-white wrist.

If he was here today, what would happen? A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Even though she could deal with the people in front of her, she really suspected that someone was standing behind her, facing a common enemy together with her.

When she thought of him standing beside her and defending her so many times, she couldn't help but smile. Not only did she have armor, she also had a weakness.

This bright and broken smile seemed to be doubting something, but it also seemed to be looking forward to something, but unexpectedly fell into Feng Qianyue and Feng Ye's eyes at the same time — —

Feng Qianyue was slightly startled. He had never seen her expression before, and the smile on her face for whom?

This King has never wanted to be your enemy. How I wish that we were one at such a time.

At this very moment, she must also be waiting for someone to stand by his side. In the beginning, even if he were to speak up for her and pull Xiao Shan down, in her opinion, it was only because he was doing it to protect his mufei.

He suddenly thought of that little girl back in Yao City. She was bright, passionate, stubborn, and cold. She sat in front of him, calmly treating his wounds. Unexpectedly, she crashed into his heart.

"Little girl …" He gently called out as he held his hand to his heart. It suddenly hurt. Lian Yue was a little startled, but she didn't turn around to look at him. She only said one sentence —

"Eighth Prince, pay attention to the occasion. Don't give me the reputation of being obsessed with your reputation. When the time comes, no matter how you wash, you won't be able to wash it clean."

Feng Ye said in a low voice, "I would have liked for you to be so obsessed, but it's not the truth."

Lian Ruyue no longer spoke and took two steps to the side.

Zhou Chengdi's frown deepened. He even coughed twice. His dragon body had been feeling unwell for some time now, and after today's interrogation, he looked a little tired.

"Your Majesty (royal father), take care of your dragon body!" Everyone quickly kneeled down and said.

"No problem." Zhou Cheng Di raised his hand and said.

"Your majesty, this person really wasn't killed by my eldest brother. Please examine him thoroughly and return my eldest brother's innocence." At that moment, Xiao Rou felt regret. She did not understand Xu Xianfei, so how could she form an alliance with her so easily?

At this time, Lian Ru Yue said, "At first, Princess Yue took the handkerchief as evidence and said that I was the one who killed them. The goal was to frame Xiao Shan and prove that I wasn't the one who killed them, even the handkerchief wasn't mine.

Now, the princess of Yue said that she conspired with the consort to set up a trap for me in order to take revenge on me. She also said that I was infatuated with the eighth prince and thus had this plan, but the eighth prince and I both denied it. We were not familiar with each other, and everyone knew that I, Ru Yue, had never done anything out of line with the eighth prince.

Your Majesty, the princess of Yue's entire life, from the start till now, her words were in disarray. This was obviously to justify Xiao Shan, and she didn't hesitate to make up all sorts of lies in front of the emperor to deceive His Majesty.

Furthermore, the Duke of Guo and the Fourth Prince had used Xiao Shan's inability to bind a chicken as a reason to believe that the fatal wounds on Senior Servant Jin couldn't possibly have been caused by him. However, this was only a baseless guess and wasn't enough proof that Xiao Shan hadn't killed Senior Jin.

At this time, he will become more vicious than usual, and he will become more powerful than usual. It is not impossible for him to be stabbed a few times like this, and no matter how powerless Xiao Shan is, he will still be a lofty man. His strength will not be lacking. "

"Your Majesty …" Xiao Zhenhai wanted to explain himself to Xiao Shan, but the king sighed and raised his hand to stop him.
