"I am deeply grateful to the Empress and Her Highness, and I hope that the Empress can accept this bow."
"Ahh, don't bow, don't move." Imperial Concubine Liang quickly lifted her hand, helping her up with a smile as she pointed out, "Zheng'er didn't do all this for you to make you worship me, do you understand?"
Lian Xiyue naturally knew what Imperial Concubine Liang meant. She couldn't help but blush slightly as she lowered her eyes and said, "When we return home, I'll send a letter to the hall."
"Then he'll be happy." Imperial Concubine Liang said with a smile.
"Empress, please send away these two guards today. They have been exposed. In order to save Xiao Shan, Xiao Zhenhai will quickly investigate the people and matters related to today. He absolutely cannot implicate you." Lian Ruyue thought of this and said.
"You've thought it through very carefully. You must send them off first. I'll immediately go and take care of it, so as to not cause too much trouble." Imperial Concubine Liang nodded.
It was already late at night by the time he left the palace. Outside, dark clouds were pressing down, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
Leng Mei was waiting outside. When she saw her, she stepped forward and asked, "Eldest Miss, did you go back? I'll go to the Empress's place and fetch something that can shelter you from the rain. "
Lian Ruyue's expressionless face was now filled with resolution as she said, "There's no need to take it. Come with me to Dongxi Palace to meet Xu Xianfei."
Winter Palace.
Xu Xianfei, Wei Ruchao, and Feng Ye were sitting in the hall, speechless.
Aunt, what exactly is going on? How did it become like this? How did my handkerchief end up in Xiao Rou's hands, causing those princesses to say that I was interested in Xiao Shan. When Wei Ru thought about how he had been dragged along with Xiao Shan, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Originally, although I valued a mama's death, it wasn't the emperor's turn to personally investigate. Lian Ruyue must have deliberately stabbed him in the face." "If I'm the one in charge of Senior Servant Jin's death, then I'll just fool around. But since the emperor has come to adjudicate, I won't be able to interfere, and I can't fool around either. Besides, the brutality of her death is related to the safety of the palace, so the emperor won't underestimate it."
"Lian Ruyue has exceeded my expectations." Wei Ru thought that she was just a silly girl who was obsessed with the Eighth Prince. Who knew that she would be so powerful?
Feng Ye heard the two discuss Lian Meng Yue and couldn't help but furrow his brows. "Mufei!"
At this moment, the palace maid hurried in with a face full of fear. "Mother, esteemed wangfei, she's here?"
"Who?" it makes you so flustered. "
"County Lord Rong He requests to see the Empress." The palace maid said.
What? Xu Xianfei and Wei Ru stared blankly at the same time – Feng Ye's hand that was holding the teacup trembled –
What would a girl do?
"Aunt …"
"Let her in!" Xu Xianfei's expression turned cold as she said, "I want to see what she can do!"
This was the Imperial Palace, and this was her Winter Palace. Lian Ruyue was just a small county governor; even if her father was the Prime Minister, what sort of waves could she cause?
Not long after, Lian Xiyue walked in with her servant girl by her side. Her face was expressionless, causing people's hearts to tremble when they saw her.
Feng Ye immediately stood up and his gaze fell on her body. However, she didn't look at her from beginning to end. Instead, she walked all the way to the front of Xu Xianfei and raised her eyes to look at her —
Xu Xianfei frowned and said unhappily, "Lian Ruyue, how dare you! You didn't even kneel when you saw me! Someone, put her down for me! Today, I shall teach her what rules are. "
"Mufei!" Feng Ye immediately called out to stop him. The person who had stepped forward to attack Lian Ruyue then hesitantly stood on the spot.
"Hurry up, you won't hear my orders!" Xu Xianfei slammed her hand on the back of the chair and shouted!
Those people could only step forward again. With cold eyebrows, they pulled out the swords on their waists and pointed them straight ahead. Their eyes showed no fear. They were clearly saying that if anyone dared to touch her miss, she would kill them for them!
"How dare you!" How dare you! You dare to use such a lethal weapon in front of me? Who allowed you to enter the palace with a sword?! Hurry and catch them for me! " Xu Xianfei scolded angrily.
"How dare you?" Lian Ruyue's lips curved up in a cold smile. "Speaking of courage, who's the bigger one than you, esteemed imperial concubine?"
"Little girl, stop talking nonsense!" Feng Ye quickly walked forward and stood in front of Lian Ruyue. He said, "I know you resent me in your heart, but this isn't a good way to resolve it. Follow me, I'll explain it to you."
Feng Ye was worried that Lian Ru Yue would have a falling out with his mufei, and that things would be disadvantageous to Lian Ru Yue in the future.
When Wei Ru saw that Feng Ye cared so much about Lian Ruyue's appearance, a look of jealousy appeared in his eyes.
"Heh …" Lian Ru Yue chuckled as she slowly raised her eyes to look at Feng Ye and said, "Eighth Prince, I think you have misunderstood me. What grievances do I have with you?" This time, I've come to say a few words to esteemed wangfei before leaving. It has nothing to do with the eighth prince. "
"Little girl, you …"
"Ye'er, move aside. I want to see what she has to say. Such audacity doesn't put me in her eyes."
Xu Xianfei stood up and said loudly.
Lian Meng Yue passed by Feng Ye and looked toward Lian Fu Yue. That gaze made Xu Xian Fei feel a burst of fear.
"How could there be someone even bolder than the Empress in this palace? The Empress is someone who dares to do anything to the Emperor's Son. " Lian Ruyue coldly said, neither too fast nor too slow.
"You, what did you say …" Xu Xianfei did not expect Lian Xianyue to suddenly say such words. She suddenly felt a rumbling sound above her head as she sat back in her chair with a pale face.
"Little girl, what do you mean by that?" Feng Ye's heart trembled as he thought of something.
"Hmph." Lian Ru Yue's smile became even colder as her tone became firmer. "The Empress has repeatedly chased and killed my little brother. Today, she even wants to kill me. Isn't it to cover up the heinous crimes that she committed all those years ago?"
"You, Lian Yue, you … "How dare you spout nonsense." She actually knew that Xu Xianfei's chest was rising and falling rapidly.
"Empress Dowager Xian, there's nothing I don't dare to say. It's just a matter of life and death. If esteemed wangfei does anything that would harm my little brother, don't blame me for making everyone aware of what you did all those years ago."
Also, don't think about killing me to silence everyone. It's not just me who knows that you stole a prince and placed it in the hands of the commoners. As long as I get hurt in the palace a little, the world will know about the Empress Dowager's shameful deeds.
When Feng Ye heard this, his heart violently trembled, and he abruptly looked towards Lian Rue — —
