"Where did you get this earring?" Was it stolen? " The Third Princess asked coldly.
"No, that's not it. I didn't steal it. No, I picked it up …" Cheng Xiu didn't know how to reply, so she turned her head to look at Lian Shiya.
"Please calm your anger, Princess. This earring was picked up by this maid and said that there is no master. Since she likes it, I will let her wear it. Who would've known that it will be an artifact left behind by Princess Eleven. If she angers Princess' undead soul, then she really deserves to die!"
Feng Jiao said in a displeased tone, "Bring it over. Since it's an 11 year old item, you can't leave the city. You'll have to deal with it together with her things."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and hand it over to the third princess!" Lian Shiya hurriedly gestured for Orange Embroidery to remove the earrings and placed them in Feng Jiao's hands. "Princess, please calm your anger."
"Humph!" Feng Jiao grunted coldly.
"Forget it, third sister. Eleven has already died and I came here today to pray for god's blessings for royal father. It's fine as long as I take it back, so there's no need to pursue the matter further." The Seventh Princess didn't want anything to happen, so she consoled him.
"Then we'll listen to Seventh Sister, forget it." The Third Princess said as she put the earring into her sleeve.
Lian Shiya hurriedly pulled the orange embroidery to express her gratitude. Then, without even caring about begging gods or buddhas, she hurriedly climbed onto the palanquin and ordered the sedan bearer to quickly return to the palace. After reporting the news, she entered Feng Qianyue's study, gasped for breath, and said:
"Your Highness, I know who the earring belongs to now. If you were to tell me, perhaps even Your Highness would not believe it!"
Feng Qianyue was in the midst of handling official matters, and he slightly frowned as he asked in a deep voice, "Who's it?"
"It's Princess Eleven's!" Lian Shiya blurted out.
"What!" The brush in Feng Qianyue's hand trembled, and he abruptly stood up. "Who do you think it is? Say that again? "
"So His Highness is as shocked as I am. This earring belongs to the Eleventh Princess, and she said so herself!" Thus, Lian Shiya recounted in detail what happened at Jiufang Temple.
Feng Qian's frown deepened.
This item belonged to Eleven. She found it in the west side of the capital. Eleven was already dead, so why would her jewelry be there?
He quickly thought of something in his mind —
Could it be that Eleven didn't die? He thought back to what Xiao Zhenhai had told him. Actually, he also suspected that when Princess Eleven was burned to death, her father had ordered her to be set on fire.
But now, the item that belonged to Eleven had appeared in the shop in the western part of the capital!
His eyes flashed. Over the past few days, the strange feeling that had been lingering in his mind had finally been resolved!
The day that Feng Tang Yao had been removed from the title of noble princess and imprisoned in the prison, he had felt that everyone had overlooked something, and now he finally knew what it was!
And that was —
In fact, Eleven did not die at all!
Like the moon... As Feng Qianyue thought about Lian Rongyue in his mind, he actually shuddered.
"The earrings are with the Third Princess now?" Feng Qianyue asked.
"Yes, the third princess took it. At this time, she should be preparing to go down the mountain. If His Highness wants it back, there's still time!" Lian Shiya hurriedly said.
"Ying Kong, prepare your horses!" Feng Qianyue suddenly stood up and shouted loudly. The blood in his body seemed to boil, and he was so excited that he was trembling a little.
Even Shiya was so excited that a smile appeared on her face. Although she hadn't figured out what exactly happened, she vaguely felt that it was going to be bad luck for Xiyue this time!
He turned around and said to Lian Shiya, "This king will not forget your meritorious service. However, don't tell your uncle, the Duke of Xiao, that only this prince and you know about this."
The smile on Lian Shiya's face instantly vanished, and she looked at Feng Qianyue as she asked. "Why? We found Princess Eleven's earring in her shop in the western part of the capital. It is very possible that Princess Eleven's death and my eldest cousin's death were all related to Lian Rue. If my uncle knew, he would definitely investigate and not let Lian Rue go, but His Highness wouldn't let me tell him, could it be … Could it be that Your Highness wants to let Lian Ruping go? "
"Of course not. I hate Lian Ru Yue to the bone, and I wish I could personally end her life. Why would I want to give her a break? However, this matter still needs to be confirmed. A mere earring might not be enough to cure Lian Ru Yue, this crafty land." Feng Qianyue said with a serious expression, but a trace of emotion flashed through his eyes.
"So that's how it is, Your Highness should first take back the earrings, investigate thoroughly then tell Uncle." Lian Shiya calmed down and said.
"Yes." Feng Qianyue walked over, raised his hand, and wiped a drop of sweat off her forehead with his finger as he said, "You've worked hard."
Her heart thumped as she reached out her hand to embrace Feng Qianyue's medicine. She buried her head in his embrace as she said infatuated, "Your Highness, for you, I'm not afraid of working hard. As long as I can help Your Highness, I'm willing."
Feng Qianyue smelled Lian Shiya's thick scent and frowned. He felt like he was choking, so he pushed her away a bit and said, "This king has gone to look for the Three Emperor's elder sister for the earrings, so as to not alert the enemy."
"En, Your Highness, be careful!" Lian Shiya looked at the figure of Feng Qianyue leaving in large strides, and a smile of infatuation appeared on her face.
Feng Qianyue left the prince's mansion and got on the horse. He immediately took off the cloak on his body and threw it towards Ying Kong, saying, "Throw it away!"
When Ying Kong saw the white mark on the front of the cloak, he understood immediately. It looked like the makeup of a woman.
Feng Qianyue chased after Third Princess Feng Jiao and told her that the earrings were actually left behind by him as a memento. He didn't expect that the maidservant would pick them up; he had already beaten the maidservant thirty times to punish her.
When the Third Princess heard Feng Qianyue's words, she returned the earring to him, and said, "I didn't expect that even Fourth Imperial Brother would have feelings for Eleven."
"Eleven is pure and obedient. As an elder brother, I've always liked her, but there are many older brothers, so they usually don't care about me. Now that she's died so pitifully, I'll keep her things as a thought."
"Even if that is the case, you can take the Fourth Emperor. Today, it can be considered as a misunderstanding." Feng Jiao said.
However, Feng Qianyue took back the earrings, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he closed his door and stayed in his room all day long without even going to the morning assembly, and he had no idea where Ying Kong had gone to.
Lian Shiya was very anxious and was afraid that Linyue would escape calamity. However, Feng Qianyue had said that he would do as he pleased, and he wouldn't let Lianyue off, and he even ordered people to send valuable gifts to her every day. Everyone in the manor thought that she had suddenly received the favor of the Fourth Prince and became even more respectful towards her, so she stopped her impulse to tell Xiao Zhenhai about it and obediently listened to Feng Qianyue's arrangements.
