"Didn't you tell Zhuo Yao'er that you wanted to save Eleven?" Zhou Cheng Emperor said coldly.
"Your Majesty, these are just the words that this subject has said on a whim. Your subject has told the imperial concubine that Princess Eleven had just lost her mother and was truly pitiful. It is understandable that she had offended Xu Xian and injured her servants and wanted to beg the imperial concubine to save Princess Eleven, but the imperial concubine rejected her plea, saying that the emperor's heart is as clear as a mirror, that he has made his own decision, and that your subject can just wait."
Although Zhou Cheng Di was not an enlightened king, he was not an idiot. It was clear that he had secretly grasped a lot of things, but as a person who had been reborn, she was more cautious, meticulous, and deep than him!
Thus, he was unable to dig anything out.
As for his suspicion that she knew of the background of the Eleventh Princess, it was only suspicion. There was no conclusive evidence, and she could only deny it.
Sure enough, he finally waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
"Yes, this subject shall take her leave."
Lian Ruyue stood up and left the Hall of Rongyuan.
When she was about to leave the palace, she bumped into the princess of An Kingdom. It was obvious that the princess of An Kingdom was waiting for her. She stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, thank you for today."
Princess An Guo smiled and said, "Don't thank me, it was I who couldn't convince Yun Zheng. He, he, he just found a huge piece of jade and personally carved a bed from somewhere and moved it into my princess' mansion, saying that by sleeping on this jade bed, he would be able to look good, prolong his life, and every day he would come to my mansion to accompany me in grooming flowers and playing chess.
In the end, he said that if he was not in the capital for a long time, the direct daughter of the Lian family, Ruyue, would beg her imperial aunt for help.
"If I take someone's hand short like that and eat someone's hand short, I can't help but agree to it."
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her face couldn't help but reveal a smile. She said, "The Ninth Prince knew that the princess doted on him, which was why he used such a soft method."
"Speaking of pain, this child really does love you. He's afraid that you will feel wronged and everything will be thought out for you." I, an old man who has lived half my life, would be moved to accept this kind of request when I see a junior.
So, you came to see me yesterday, and I agreed. Since you didn't tell me to fake it, and only allowed me to say a few words for your daughter, I have already paid back my son's favor.
Although Princess An said this on the surface, in reality, the most important thing was that she had already determined Feng Yunzheng's strength a long time ago. She wanted to help him ascend to the throne, so she didn't misjudge him and chose Zhou Chengdi.
Thus, she would naturally secretly help out those people that Feng Yunzheng cared about.
Moreover, she felt that Lian Meng Yue was not a simple person. There would be great benefits in the future.
Lian Ruyue pretended that she didn't see through this. Perhaps there was a hint of emotion in her eyes as she said, "Princess being willing to help is my good fortune. I will never forget this in my heart."
A satisfied smile appeared on the princess' face as she said, "Alright, it's time for me to return home as well." Princess An Guo patted Lian Ru Yue's shoulder before passing by her and walking out.
However, this person had fallen in love with another woman and had even married that person. However, she did everything she could to not hesitate to kill that woman and tie him up by her side, telling him to accompany her until he had used up all his life. It was just that between the two of them, although they faced each other every day, they were already on the same side.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Lotus quickly handed over the handkerchief.
Princess An wiped away the tears on her face and said, "It's nothing, the wind is too strong." "When we left the palace, did you see Prince Consort?"
The expression on He Xiang's face showed some hesitation. "Princess, today is the date of that woman's death."
"Oh." Unexpectedly, Princess An didn't lose her temper. She nodded and said, "It's already the day of her death. Huo Xiang, prepare yourself, I'll go pay my respects to her."
With that, the princess of An Kingdom entered her palanquin.
For a moment, Lotus was stunned, but then she quickly followed, "Yes, Princess."
On the way back home, Lian Ruyue thought about whether she should go see Feng Lingyue or not, but then she thought that since she couldn't show her face anymore, if she went to the western shop too many times, she might be suspected.
After returning to the residence, Lian Ru Yue sat in front of her study table. She couldn't help but think of Princess An Guo's words today. She opened the drawer and took out a pair of Alchemy Azure's from the scroll — —
This was what Feng Yunzheng had described to himself. She lifted her hand and placed her finger on his face as her lips unconsciously revealed a smile.
After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Leng Mei.
An ominous premonition welled up in Leng Mei's heart. Lian Ru Yue slightly smiled and asked, "Leng Mei, did the Ninth Prince say anything to you before he left?"
"Eldest Miss, please spare me. I'm afraid that if I was not hacked to death, I would have been tired to death by Ninth Prince's words." As Leng Mei thought of the contents of the second page of "Yun Zheng's Love Words", she felt goosebumps all over her body.
Heaven has pity on her, she was really just a cold-blooded killer, why did she have such a lazy master?
"In that case, he really did tell you something else. I want to hear it now, so speak." Lian Ruyue said.
Today, she really did miss the days when he was by her side.
Before she could open her mouth, her cold brows had turned completely red. She really couldn't say anything, but when she saw the look of anticipation in her eyes and the determination of the Ninth Prince to not marry this time, she finally opened her mouth and said:
"His Highness also said that if there comes a day when Eldest Miss misses someone, he must tell Eldest Miss something. Eldest Miss shouldn't feel lonely."
"What is it?" Lian Ruyue rested her cheeks in her hands, looking a bit like a young girl.
"..." Yue, Yue'er, I hope you grow up, but also hesitate to grow up. If you don't grow up, then I won't be able to be with you. If you grow up, then I'll have to worry about you even more, because I know that you will shine even brighter. I'm not the only person in this world who can see you well. He wanted to keep you private, but he knew that this was not what he wanted. Thus, he could only accompany him on his journey.
Let me first 'warn' you, you are not allowed to look at anyone else. In your heart, if anyone wants to enter, you first show them the red rope on your wrist and give them a sentence — —
