Lian Ruyue's gaze was calm without any ripples. Looking at him, Feng Qianyue's hand that was caressing the jade pendant slightly paused. This girl's eyes seemed to have an even more oppressive feeling, which made one unable to hide out, but —
He said lightly, "Are we going to go to the old mistress' place?"
Lian Meng Yue looked back and said to the servants and wives behind her, "You all wait here. I will go and pay my respects to the Fourth Prince."
"Yes." "Yes." Everyone answered, and they couldn't help but take an extra glance at Feng Qianyue.
He stood up and said, "It's rare to see you take the initiative to walk towards me, Lian Ru Yue."
Normally, she would not greet him. She would either ignore him and leave, or take a detour, not putting him in her eyes.
Lian Ruyue looked at Feng Qianyue; she was truly a lot thinner than before. That face was even sharper and sharper than before … How unkind, she said.
"Her Highness is gravely ill, and she even accompanied my third sister on this trip. There must be other matters."
"Heh …" Feng Qian laughed, but the corners of his eyes were completely cold.
He lowered his head and fished out something wrapped in cloth from his sleeve. He handed it over to Lian Ruyue and said, "Open it."
Lian Ruyue glanced at him, took it, and slowly spread the cloth. Suddenly, a pair of cherry pink embroidered shoes appeared in front of her eyes. There were many fiery red Begonia embroidered on the shoes.
"I'm sure you know very well whose shoes these shoes belong to." Feng Qianyue kept on looking at her face as he spoke.
"What does Your Highness want?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"Ha!" Feng Qianyue sneered. "You're still able to remain so calm when things have progressed to this point. This king has to say, your nonchalant appearance is truly laughable!"
Lian Ruyue held onto her shoes, not saying a word.
Feng Qianyue continued:
"On that day, Thirteen was punished and sent to prison. It seemed like it was all over, but I still felt that something was wrong. I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it. Now that I see Number Eleven, I finally understand."
That day, Eleven was burned to death, and even Xiao Shan was burned to death. But last night, when I burned him to death, Eleven ran out of your shop and bumped into me.
All of this was part of your carefully planned plan. You purposely stayed in Yi Xiu Palace, deliberately instigated the relationship between Thirteen and the servant girl, and sent out words that would save Eleven that was difficult to discern, then deliberately caused Xiao He to go to royal father's side and disregard his life to plead for Yue'er. This completely agitated Thirteen to the point that his jealousy burned down.
In the end, Thirteen, whom you didn't like, ended up being spoiled by your father. The eldest son of Xiao Zhenhai, whom you didn't like, died.
You planned every step and even calculated your heart. Finally, you achieved your goal of killing three birds with one stone.
Lian Ru Yue, I have to admit once again that your methods are extraordinary and your thoughts are much more meticulous than anyone else. "
He said, "Your Highness knows me more and more, but Your Highness has also played a very good role in restoring the trust of the Emperor, eliminating the enmity between father and son for more than ten years, restoring the position of prince, and even the princess of Yue came here so promptly. I heard that after Princess Yue got pregnant, her body became weaker, and she would need to lie in bed everyday to rest, until the child was successfully born. Is Your Highness not afraid that she will have no descendants?"
"Same here, Lianyue, you're right, this duke doesn't have any deficiency of blood, everything is my plan. So, you and I are the same, we are the same, we are also ruthless, we calculate everything, we are clearly the same person, if we were together …"
"I am not the same person as the Fourth Prince." Lian Yue had already coldly interrupted Feng Qianyue without waiting for him to say something that would make her feel disgusted.
Feng Qianyue's face sank as he continued, "Lian Ruyue, you have calculated everything thoroughly, and in the end, everything was tidied up. The eleventh earring was picked up by Lian Shiya, and the third royal sister recognized it to be the eleventh earring, so you still revealed your foot. I ordered someone to remove the shoes in your hand from the feet of the eleventh disciple. She is now in a place only this king knows."
"Under the guidance of the fourth prince, our third sister has also become a lot smarter." Lian Ruyue said.
When This King saw that earring, I recalled the strange feeling that lingered in my heart. I boldly guessed that Eleven might not be dead, and she was in your hands, so I told her to show off in front of the princesses. Feng Qianyue said leisurely, "This king told you a long time ago that you wouldn't always be lucky, and Little Jiu wouldn't always be lucky either. Don't forget, this king isn't a fool."
"Then why didn't the fourth prince bring the eleventh princess to the emperor's side to punish me with a death sentence?" Lian Ruyue asked.
Feng Qianyue's eyes flashed, he suddenly took a step forward, and attempted to hold Lian Ru Yue's hand. Lian Ru Yue, however, quickly retreated; his hand ultimately missed its target. His fingers curled, and he said:
"Lian Ru Yue, you are wrong. Letting you die has never been this king's intention."
"Then what does the fourth prince want?" Lian Ru Yue retreated another step, but Feng Qian Yue followed and said, "I want you to become my woman and stay far away from Xiao Jiu Li. By the time he returns, you will already be a member of my Yuwai Royal Manor."
Lian Ruyue heard his words and felt goosebumps all over her body. She felt extremely disgusted, so she said, "What if I don't agree? What does Her Highness plan to do?"
"This king has said before, my original intention never wanted your life, but if you insist on dying, insisting on throwing your entire family in, even Ninth Royal Brother, I won't stop you. I'm willing to send you on your way.
If Xiao Zhenhai knew that Eleven wasn't dead, then in order to avenge his eldest son, would he bring you before his father and tear you apart alive? " Feng Qianyue looked at Lian Rue's eyes as he spoke.
Lian Ru Yue didn't say anything.
"Alright, looks like you've already made your choice. This king will grant you your wish!" Feng Qianyue saw her hesitating, and was suddenly very angry. Could it be that she would rather die than be his person? His dignity had suffered a serious provocation, so he turned around and left.
"Wait!" Lian Ruyue called out.
Feng Qianyue stopped in his tracks, and a trace of a smile flashed on his face. When he turned around, he had already recovered his coldness, and he said:
"What else do you want to say?"
"I promise you." After pausing for a moment, Lian Lu, who was like the moon, said.
Feng Qianyue's eyes surged with wild joy. "Really?"
Lian Ruyue nodded slowly and said, "However, I want to meet the Eleventh Princess. Your Highness, please make the arrangements."
