C560 Unfriendly approach

"I always felt that she had come with ill intentions." Feng Ziyao whispered.

"She's mufei's niece. It's already late and she wants to stay for the night, there's nothing to worry about. Mufei naturally has no reason to reject her, mufei will send Xiu Xiu to monitor her properly, she's right under our noses, there's no need to worry." Lian Zhaoyi comforted Feng Yunyao, "Oh right, you just said that you want to tell mufei some good news, what news do you have?" Lian Zhaoyi asked as he thought of this.

Feng Yunyao revealed a hint of a smile. The melancholy on her face was swept away, and she said, "Mufei's method is still the best. Let the Duke of Xiao expose the false identity of Feng Lingyue, and let Imperial Father put her under house arrest. I don't need to personally destroy her.

royal father had even planned to cancel the engagement between Xiao He and her, which was what royal father and Duke of Xiao had said. Hmph, Feng Lingyue is nothing, so she naturally is not worthy to be together with Xiao He. "

"You." Lian Zhaoyi helplessly shook his head and said, "You have always been cautious and never failed in your actions. However, whenever it comes to matters related to Xiao He, you seem to be too impatient. "Ziyao'er, now is the time of the empress's funeral, you must not be too proud of yourself. If you are seen by someone else, then your mother's birth in this womb will be in vain, do you understand?"

"Mufei, don't worry." Feng Tang held Lian Zhaoyi's hand and said, "I will be very careful."

Evening, Lian Zhaoyi ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare dishes for Lian Ruoyue. While they were eating, the three of them chatted for a while, but it was just that Lian Zhaoyi asked about Lian's family and also specifically asked about Lian Yan. Lian Zhaoyi said that First Lady Lian had contributed a lot to Lian's family and had given birth to two sons.

After dinner, Lian Zhaoyi stayed for a while and ordered someone to make tea.

At this moment, the imperial concubine sent Senior Servant Li over. "Imperial Concubine, hearing that the county governor is staying over for the night, ordered a servant to deliver the freshly prepared Lotus Root Starch sweet cake for the county governor to taste."

Lian Ruyue bowed, and just as she left Li mama's hand under the lunchbox, as if she inadvertently touched Lian Ruyue's hand, Lian Ruyue's finger quickly withdrew as she calmly said:

"Please return to the imperial concubine. Thank you for your bestowment. Tomorrow, I'll go pay my respects to the imperial concubine."

After that, Li mama left with the palace maid.

Lian Ruyue opened the box. Inside, the sweet cakes were made in an exquisite manner. They were pink, transparent, and exuded a fragrance that made people's appetite go wild. She placed the sweet cakes in front of Lian Zhaoyi and said, "Aunt, please have some."

Lian Zhaoyi seemed to be extremely cautious as he said, "Just now, I was already full. I should quickly go to bed and rest. I won't eat anymore."

Feng Tang Yao also did not eat them, saying that she did not like the sweetness, so she ate two of them herself. After that, Lian Zhaoyi ordered the palace maid, Wen Xiu, to send Lian Xiyue back to the palace to rest.

After Wen Xiu led Lian Xiyue to the place where they slept, a palace maid came in with warm water for washing their faces.

"County Lord, the Empress has instructed that when you are here, I will serve you. If you need anything, just tell me."

Lian Ru Yue took out a gold bracelet from her wrist and put it on Wen Xiu's bracelet while covering it with her sleeve. Wen Xiu was stunned and was about to break free, but Lian Ru Yue held her hand tightly and said, "You were originally a powerful maid by the princess's side, but now you're here to serve me, who isn't familiar with you, making things difficult for you."

Wen Xiu finally let go and gripped the gold bracelet. "County Lord is too polite."

She turned around and picked up a bowl from the palace maid's tray behind her. "The princess drinks a bowl of bird's nest soup every night before she goes to bed. Just now, the princess ordered a servant to bring a bowl for the county governor to eat, so he can have a good night's sleep."

Lian Ruyue revealed a happy expression and said, "Princess, you're too kind." As he spoke, he drank all of the soup.

When Wen Xiu saw the empty bowl, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After that, as the moon rose, the palace maids extinguished the candles in the hall. Wen Xiu stood guard outside the tent until she heard Lian Yue's shallow breathing. Then, she left the two palace maids standing guard outside the hall.

She had just lied down like this for a while when she felt sleepy, her eyelids almost popping out. She was not the type of person who slept on a pillow, and would usually sleep with her eyes open for a long time before feeling sleepy, so she knew that she must have been in a passive position in the soup.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have fallen asleep after a few yawns, but Lian Ruyue kept her guard up, and she also knew how to use acupuncture points to relieve her drowsiness. Thus, she went to the back of her head and pressed down on the Jade Pillar on the back of her head, causing a numbing sensation to arise from the back of her head.

With her other hand, she shook her sleeve and a short dagger slipped out. This was what Imperial Concubine Liang had instructed Li mama to give her in secret. She looked at the dagger with a smile on her face — —

She understood Imperial Concubine Liang's intention. She knew that she had stayed in Yi Xiu Palace for a purpose, so she had sent the dagger over for her self-defense.

She quietly got up, opened the tent and quietly got off the bed. She took a stool from beside the bed and walked step by step to the door. Then, she lifted the stool and suddenly smashed it against the back of the palace maid's head.

"Ugh …" The other palace maid's eyes widened as she looked at Lian Meng Yue's dagger in her hand. Then, she looked at her emotionless expression, which was like a netherworld. She was so scared that she covered her mouth.

"Pa …" Lian Ruyue threw the other gold bracelet on her wrist next to her feet. She held the dagger against her neck and asked, "Which one do you want?"

The palace maid was so frightened that the blood in her body seemed to have frozen. She stooped down trembling, picked up the golden bracelet that had fallen by her feet, and then tremblingly stuffed it into her clothes. "County … County Lord …"

"Take her to bed." Lian Ruyue ordered in a low voice. The cold blade was pressed against the palace maid's neck.

"Yes, yes." The palace maid quickly bent over and dragged the unconscious person onto the bed.

"Take off her clothes and put mine on her." Lian Ruyue ordered again.

The palace maid did so with trembling hands, and Lian Yueyue put on the clothes that the sleeping palace maid had taken off.

After doing this, she asked, "What's your name?"

"Yes, County Lord, this servant is Lan Jing."

If you listen to my orders, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you. This gold bracelet is only a small token today, and in the future, when you reach the age when you leave the palace, you will be free to eat and sleep for the rest of your life. If you do not listen to me, I will immediately kill you.
