"Empress Dowager .." Xiao Rou looked pitifully at the empress dowager, her eyes filled with tears. "Please take pity on Rou'er. Rou'er doesn't dare to have any delusions in this life, she only wants to have a husband like the Fourth Prince. When her parents grow old, her brother will have a family.

The Emperor can't keep him in prison forever. After all, he is a prince, the future son-in-law of your Xiao family, and also the grandson-in-law of Prince An Ping. The Emperor must give some face to your Xiao family and the Lu family. Her Majesty said.

When Xiao Rou heard this, she was overjoyed. "Thank you, Esteemed Empress Dowager!"

"Mother, Father's idea was really useful. He knew that the empress dowager didn't like the idea of the moon without a moon, so he didn't want the moon taking advantage of him and wanted the emperor to release His Highness."

"Lower your voice. If anyone knew that Senior Servant Wen was related to the Xiao family, your father would not have a good ending!" The Xiao Clan looked to the side and scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Rou shut her mouth and didn't speak anymore, but when she thought about how she would be able to see Feng Qianyue again, her face was filled with joy once more.

It turned out that Xiao Zhenhai had heard from Senior Servant Wen that the empress dowager had once wanted to kill Lian Ru Yue. Thus, he had taken action on her and used Xiao Rou to beat around the bush in front of the empress dowager.

"Oh, right. Mother, who is it that Elder Cousin Yao wants to marry this time? Do you have any idea?" Xiao Rou asked as they got on the carriage and headed back to the Xiao family's residence.

"You don't need to worry too much about this matter. Your father already has his plans." This time, in order to protect the future of the Lu family, she was definitely going to use Xiao Zhenhai as her husband.

Hall of Rongyuan.

The sunlight was a bit gloomy, giving the hall a heavy feeling when it shone on it.

Emperor Zhou Cheng looked at his fourth son, Feng Qianyue, who was kneeling in front of him with his head lowered, for a long time.

He had been locked up in the dungeon for more than a month. His hair was loose, his lips cracked, and his chin was covered with thick stubble. He looked much more haggard than before.

This morning, the empress dowager went to the Xining palace to accompany the empress dowager for a meal. The empress dowager said something to the effect that it was time to release her fourth son, Qianyue, and the emperor had never forgotten his birth.

Feng Qianyue lowered his head, and the fist that supported him on the ground slowly clenched into half a fist.

"Go out." After an unknown period of time, Zhou Chengdi finally opened his mouth and said two words.

Feng Qianyue prostrated himself on the ground and said, "This son thanks royal father for his kindness. Long live royal father."

After that, he was led out of the palace by a eunuch. He took a bath, changed his clothes, and shaved his beard before exiting the palace. His expression remained as calm as ever.

"Your Highness .." Ying Kong, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw his figure and immediately went forward to kneel down.

Feng Qianyue slowly raised his head and slightly narrowed his eyes. When the sunlight shone onto his body, he actually felt that it was somewhat dazzling, and felt as if he was about to cry.

"Return to the manor!" He let go of his hand, threw off his robe, and got into the carriage.

"Yes." Ying Kong immediately ordered the coachman to drive the carriage back to the mansion.

"Your Highness!" Just as he entered the mansion, Xiao Zhenhai came forward and bowed. "Welcome back, Your Highness."

"I'll have to trouble the Duke of Xiao this time." Feng Qianyue's expression was like a fleeting flower that had just disappeared, and he had already returned to his usual expression.

"This is what a lowly position should do." Xiao Zhenhai followed Feng Qianyue into the study.

"This prince heard that Prince Anping's grandson, Prince Jiayu, came to the capital to propose marriage to the emperor. I wonder what the Duke of Guo's intentions were?" Feng Qianyue sat behind the desk and asked.

"I believe that Your Highness has his own thoughts on this matter. This humble servant would like to hear what Your Highness has to say." Xiao Zhen Hai said.

Feng Qianyue slowly lifted his gaze and looked towards the door of the study. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "This duke thinks that Lian Ruo Yue is pretty good and is extremely compatible with Lu Jingyao."

Xiao Zhenhai revealed a smile and said, "Your Highness and humble servant have the same thoughts, Lian Ruoyue is a thorn in the side, only by chasing her to Pingzhou can we not destroy our plan. Moreover, if she goes to Pingzhou and loses the backing of the Prime Minister and the Ninth Prince, it will be much easier to deal with her. Even if she goes to Pingzhou and kills her, no one will know about her."

"However, according to what I know, that Lu Jingyao isn't someone to be trifled with. If he doesn't like Liuyue, then our plan can't be formed either. When Lu Jingyao calls the Lord Prefect 'Uncle', the Lord Prefect should have a way to make LiuJingyao marry Lianyue." Feng Qianyue smiled slightly as he looked at the crafty Xiao Zhenhai in front of him.

"Yes, I will obey." Xiao Zhenhai revealed a smile before continuing, "Since Your Highness has already left the Sky Prison, the most important thing is to gain the trust of the Emperor. If not for the trust of the Emperor, Your Highness would have always been restrained."

Feng Qianyue nodded and said, "This is also a problem that This King was thinking about the entire time he was imprisoned in the dungeon." When he was in prison, he closed his eyes and meditated every day. He had never cried out grievances nor cried out grievances, and that was because he had always thought that the reason he had suffered so many setbacks in the past few days was, after all, because of his low birth, such that his royal father had never truly trusted him.

"Then, does Your Highness already have an idea?" Xiao Zhenhai asked.

Feng Qianyue slowly nodded and said, "Allow this duke to think about it again."

"Yes." Xiao Zhenhai thought it over before saying, "Right, Your Highness, this lowly one wishes to find a day to beg the empress dowager and emperor to help His Highness and Rou Er get married early. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

"This duke happens to have the same intentions as well. I'll have to trouble the duke to step in then." Feng Qianyue said, and the fist under his sleeve had already been secretly clenched —

After Xiao Zhenhai left, the expression on Feng Qianyue's face dissipated. He stood up abruptly and swept all the furniture on the desk to the ground with one hand. His eyes were scarlet, and his entire body was ready to erupt with anger like a volcano!

He did not have any background, and the one who gave birth to her was merely a palace maid. It was the product of Zhou Chengdi's indulgence when he was drunk all those years ago.

However, over the past year, it had disintegrated step by step. Now, he could only passively attach himself to Xiao Zhenhai's body and marry Xiao Rou, whose legs were not even complete!

And all of this ..

"Lunar Blaze!"

He gritted his teeth so hard that he wanted to crush this name and swallow it with his blood!

"All of this was caused by you. I won't let you off. You can forget about having peace for the rest of your life!"

"Your Highness .." At this time, in the midst of the haziness, a delicate voice sounded. He raised his head and absent-mindedly saw Lian Rue slowly walking towards him with a bashful smile on her face.

With a swoosh, he pulled out the sword from his back and fiercely thrust forward — —

That person's footsteps suddenly stopped, the smile on his face instantly froze, his graceful figure fell to the ground, with a clang, the guqin in her hands fell to the ground.

"Your .. Your Highness .." "Young mistress, here's me, here's your guqin .." At one point, Her Highness was very fond of her. He would hold her face in his hands and stare at her for a long time, and sometimes he would hold her face in his hands and kiss her. She thought that only when a man loved a woman would he do this.

However .. Why did he kill her? She still didn't understand even after she died.

Feng Qianyue glanced at the person on the ground coldly. After deliberately dressing up, her face and charm had become even more similar to Lian Ruyue's. Unfortunately, she wasn't Lian Ruyue —

"Men, restrain yourself."

Feng Qianyue pulled the white cloth from the back of the chair, wiping away the blood on his face as he spoke.
