Right now, where exactly are these eleven people imprisoned? Aside from the Emperor, no one else knows, but you want me to save her. Aren't you clearly making things difficult for me? " Xu Xianfei frowned slightly and said.
"If others said these words, I would believe them. But esteemed imperial concubine, I don't believe them. You definitely have a way." Lian Ruyue looked at Xu Xianfei urgently and said.
"If I can find out for you where Princess Eleven is imprisoned and protect her life, can you guarantee that you will never recognize the Emperor?" Xu Xianfei asked.
Lian Ru Yue smiled and lightly said, "The Empress doesn't seem to have any chips to negotiate with me. Moreover, this is a matter of my own. I naturally can't decide for him whether or not to admit it. "However, I can personally guarantee to the Empress that I won't bring up the matter of the [Consecutive Techniques] to anyone else. If this matter is exposed in the future, I won't come out to testify against the Empress."
Xu Xianyue clenched her teeth and said coldly, "Lian Meng Yue, you said that I was the strongest. In my opinion, you are the strongest, and only you, who holds my secret, dare to come here again and again to negotiate with me, not to mention that you are not afraid of me killing you without anyone knowing. "Lian Xiang, that person may have had a plan, but he still killed decisively. However, you, on the other hand, have more courage than your father."
Lian Xiyue bowed slightly and said, "Esteemed Empress is too kind."
Xu Xianfei snorted coldly and said, "Seeing how ruthless you are, I didn't think you would run away for a fake princess like Eleven."
"Her identity is fake, but her heart is real. She leaves like the moon, waiting for the Empress's good news."
Lian Ruyue left the Winter Palace as she spoke.
Xuxian's hand was tightly clenched, her fingers dug into the palm of her hand, and she slapped it hard on the table, "I have been rampaging through the harem for dozens of years, but I was actually threatened by a little silly little girl! Lian Ruyue, when I find the chance, I will definitely get rid of you. "
Lian Ruyue came directly to the Elegance Palace after leaving the Palace. When Lian Ruyue saw her, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes as she said, "Yue-er, it's time for you to return with your father. Why have you come to my place?"
Lian Ru Yue looked at Lian Zhao Yi's protruding stomach. Now, her pregnancy was already very obvious. She knew that in her previous life, her aunt had indeed given birth to two children. The second was a prince.
Speaking of which, the heavens really cared for her. She had only just descended a rank, and she was already pregnant with a prince.
Thinking of this, she bowed, "Yue'er came to the palace this time, and Grandmother had instructed me to accompany my aunt for a chat. I was always at Changchun Palace today, so I didn't have the time to speak with my aunt.
"So that's how it is." Lian Zhaoyi's tensed expression relaxed. "Old madam should be getting a gift. Yue Er, take a seat."
"Thank you, Aunt." Lian Ruyue sat down, took out a box from her sleeve, and said, "This pearl has the function of calming the womb, it was once a dowry given to my mother by my ancestors. When Yue Er entered the palace, my mother ordered me to present it to my aunt."
Lian Zhaoyi motioned for the palace maid to take it. "You're thoughtful. I heard that your grandfather will be returning to the capital from Yanzhou in a few days."
Yue'er heard from her father that the time limit for her grandfather to guard the Yanzhou City had come. She requested that they return to the capital. She didn't know if the emperor would agree or not. Lian Ruyue said without any flaw.
While the two of them were talking, it seemed as if they were very friendly with each other. No one could tell that they were each having unspeakable thoughts.
"Mufei, mufei, I have good news for you." At this moment, a cheerful voice could be heard. There was no sign of the empress's funeral.
"Cough, cough cough!" Lian Zhaoyi suddenly coughed twice while covering his mouth.
Feng Tang suddenly stopped in her tracks. When he saw Lian Ruyue sitting beside Lian Zhaoyi, a look flashed across his face and he swallowed his words. He then leisurely walked up to Lian Ruyue and asked, "Cousin Yue, why are you here?"
"Your cousin Yue Er came to see me and gave me a rare pearl." Lian Zhaoyi waved towards Feng Yunyao, saying, "Quickly sit down and talk to your Cousin Yue."
"Yes, mufei." Feng Tang Yao sat down and raised her hand to wipe her eyes. "I really didn't expect that Empress Dowager would leave just like that. Aunt Eleven was also sick, and I wanted to see her just now, but Imperial Father didn't tell me where she lived. He probably didn't want Sister Eleven to be disturbed."
"Sigh …" Lian Zhaoyi sighed and said, "Eleventh is the most innocent. What should we do with this child?"
"Everyone has their own orders, don't worry, aunt." Lian Ruyue said.
The three of them kept talking. Seeing that the sky had already darkened, and Lian Yue didn't have any intention of leaving, Feng Ziyao looked at Lian Zhaoyi and thought to herself:
What's going on with Cousin Yue? Why aren't you leaving?
"Ya, the three of us are having fun, we don't even know when it gets dark." Lian Zhaoyi looked outside and exclaimed in shock.
"Aiya, it really is too late. I still have a lot of things that I haven't finished with my aunt and the princess." Lian Ru Yue stood up, holding Lian Zhao Yi's arm, and said coquettishly, "Aunt, can you keep Yue'er here for a couple of days? Yue'er still remembers that when you were at Lian's house, Yue'er loved to follow beside Aunt the most."
Feng Tang was startled, and couldn't help but ask, "Cousin Yue'er, how can you do this? You wouldn't even agree to let me stay here, would you? What right do you have to stay here?"
"You Yao'er!" Lian Zhaoyi hurriedly scolded, "How can you speak like that? Your cousin rarely comes to my Elegance Palace. Even if she doesn't say it, I will still let her stay here for a day and accompany me."
Lian Ruyue was Lian Shiyi's niece. She lived in Yi Xiu Palace with no concubines. In the past, when the Third Miss was favored by Lian Shiya, she lived with Lian Shiya.
Besides, it was already late. If Lian Ruyue didn't agree to his offer to stay, there was a possibility that he would chase her away. If word of this got out, people would gossip about her.
"Wen Xiu, go and pack up. I will be staying here with the county chief today. Senior Servant Lin will instruct the imperial kitchens to prepare an extra serving of food." Lian Zhaoyi called the servant over and ordered.
"Aunt, you are so kind to Yue Er." Lian Ruyue laid her head on Lian Zhaoyi's shoulder like a spoiled child as she said this, but a hint of coldness flashed through the corner of her eyes.
In her heart, Feng Ziyao was extremely unhappy. However, since mufei had already spoken, she could not say anything else. She could only say: "Cousin Yueyue, you must be used to living here."
"As long as the princess is here, I won't give in." Lian Ruyue said with a smile.
"Yue Er, we've talked for a long time and you're tired. Let Wenxiu take you to rest first. I'll call you out when the dinner is over." Lian Zhaoyi said amiably.
"Yes, thank you, aunt."
After Lian Ruyue left, the expression on Feng Ziyao's face collapsed as she said unhappily, "Mufei, what is she doing? Why is she suddenly staying here? It's all thanks to you that you agreed."
