Lian Shiya looked at Lian Ruyue and suddenly calmed down, saying, "Lian Ruyue, don't think you can lie to me. I've seen many of your tricks, and now you've deliberately asked me to say these words to you. You're probably trying to trick me." "The Fourth Prince hates you so much, so how could he possibly want to marry you? You must have some kind of conspiracy, and I won't be fooled."
"If Third Sister doesn't want to do that, I can't do anything about it. Senior Servant Tai, escort Third Miss out." Lian Ruyue instructed.
After Lian Shiya left, the expression on Lian Ru Yue's face sank.
"Eldest Miss, why are you talking to Third Miss about this?" asked Indigo, puzzled.
"A'Yue's life or death is uncertain. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's start with Lian Shiya." Lian Ruyue said.
When she left the Lian Family, Lian Shiya's expression was extremely unsightly. She sat on the carriage and held the jade pendant Feng Qianyue had gifted her. In her mind, she recalled Lian Yue's words.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, when she found out that Princess Eleven was not dead, the fourth prince should immediately inform her uncle and inform him about the evidence.
However, the fourth prince would never mention it to his uncle.
The Fourth Prince must have wanted to force the Eleventh Princess out of the burning shop in the west of the capital yesterday. However, he had never mentioned the matter to her. Until today, he had only said that she should return to the Prime Minister's Estate to take a look …
She slowly raised her hand and touched her face that was still rough despite the thick makeup. She pinched the jade pendant tightly and said fiercely:
"No, Lian Ruyue, your mother and my mother fought for a lifetime, and in the end, my mother died a miserable death. Now, I will absolutely not give you the chance to snatch my man!"
As she spoke, two streams of tears flowed from her eyes and she said:
"Your Highness, why did you lie to me?" "You said that you wouldn't let Lian Ru Yue go. You captured Princess Eleven, so as long as we escort her to the emperor, the truth will be revealed. Yet you beat around the bush. Could it be that you really want to threaten Lian Ru Yue because of this?"
Once she returned to the Duke's Palace, she immediately went to Feng Qianyue's study to request for a meeting. When she entered, she saw that there was indeed an embroidered shoe placed in front of Feng Qianyue's table. That shoe's appearance was exactly the same as Lian Ruyue had said it would be.
She bent her knees and asked, "Why did Your Highness come back first without waiting for me?"
"You and the Lian Family's Madam and Mistress have matters to discuss. This King has received courtesy, so he has come back first." Feng Qianyue frowned slightly as he spoke.
"So that's how it is." Lian Shiya looked at the embroidered shoes in front of him and asked, "Are these Princess Eleven's?"
Feng Qianyue nodded.
"I wonder where Your Highness is holding Princess Eleven? What does Your Highness intend to do?" Lian Shiya continued to ask.
However, when Feng Qianyue heard this, his expression turned cold. His eyes focused and his face became expressionless as he said coldly:
"No one can question this king like that, not even you, Uncle Xiao, nor the Duke of Xiao. Pay attention to your own identity, Lian Shiya."
"Your majesty redemption." Lian Shiya hurriedly kneeled down when she saw Feng Qian become increasingly angry and said as she clenched her fists tightly.
Feng Qianyue looked coldly at the person crawling in front of him, and said, "Do not take an inch in front of this duke, or else, you'll be asking for trouble and get down."
"..." "Yes." Lian Shiya bit her lower lip. She slowly stood up and said with a trembling voice.
She slowly walked out and turned around, only to see Feng Qianyue's stiff and cold figure trapped within the dark light, giving off a faintly discernable feeling of nobility.
Lian Shiya clenched her teeth and tightly held the handkerchief in her hand as she walked along the manor's corridor.
Judging from His Highness' attitude, what Lian Ruyue said was not false! He had already captured Princess Eleven, but he didn't tell his uncle or the Emperor!
No!
No!
Lian Shiya suddenly stopped walking, and her face revealed a trace of resolution. "A chance that could kill Lian Lu Yue is so rare. How could I let such a good opportunity slip by in vain!?"
I must expose her and let the emperor know! Let the Emperor chop off her head, avenge my mother, avenge myself!
Lian Ru Yue, I won't let you off. I'll go tell my uncle right now! "
She steeled her heart and walked out of the manor.
However, after walking a few steps, she stopped and murmured, "No, that can't be the case, His Highness told me not to tell Uncle, if I went to complain, His Highness would definitely blame me, and even if Ru Yue was beheaded for cheating on the monarch, I wouldn't be able to explain it to His Highness, so how could I stay in the King's Manor?!"
She slowly turned around. At this time, a few maidservants came out of the kitchen with a stew in their hands. Lian Shiya looked at them and suddenly remembered something as she said:
"All of you, stop."
She walked over and asked, "Is this for the wangfei?"
The maid carrying the stew said, "Yes, this is the baby protection medicine sent over by the Duke of Guo's estate. We've been frying it all morning."
"Orange embroidery. Give me a hand." Lian Shiya motioned for Cheng Xiu to bring the baby medicine over. "I'll go see the wangfei and let me deliver it."
"Yes." All of the maidservants bowed as they spoke.
When Lian Shiya brought the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution into Xiao Rou's room, she was lying on the bed with the maids attending to him.
Lian Shiya withdrew the expression on her face and walked over. "Esteemed wangfei, I've sent the baby protection medicine." Xiao Rou was currently pregnant and was vomiting day after day. Not only did she not become fat, but she had also become thinner. Her face looked haggard and there were even some spots on it. She saw that even Shi Ya did not have the energy to say anything.
Lian Shiya motioned for the maidservants to stand down, then she took the birth control medicine and fed spoonful after spoonful into Xiao Rou's mouth. After finishing the bowl of birth control medicine, Xiao Rou lay back down on the bed and said:
"Being pregnant is really too arduous. Ever since I knew that I was pregnant, I haven't even gotten out of bed. I really want to hurry up and have my child born."
Lian Shiya smiled and said, "Wangfei, you can't talk about children. The matter of having a child naturally needs to be slowly discussed. A few months of time, after putting up with it for a bit, it'll be over in an instant.
When Xiao Rou heard this, her heart felt a little better. "What you said makes sense. I can only continue to endure it."
"Sigh …" Lian Shiya couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xiao Rou frowned as she said, "Everything is fine. What are you sighing for? I heard that His Highness accompanied you back to the Lian family today. Shouldn't you be happy?" As she spoke, Xiao Rou's tone was slightly sour.
