After Lian Yan Qing's initial surprise, he smiled and said, "Many thanks to Your Highness for your kindness and reminder, this humble subject is not being picky, this humble subject also doesn't have the courage to pick and choose. It's just that this little girl's marriage was decided by the emperor, and this little girl's character is very light, I've already asked about it, and she replied that there isn't anyone I like, so this humble subject isn't in a hurry to find someone for her."

"In that case, let's take care of ourselves." Feng Qianyue threw a stone beside his hand into the pond. With a "dong" sound, he sank it into the water. "Oh, that's right." He seemed to have thought of something and said, "I almost forgot to tell Lianyang something. When YenFu and Yulong were at war, Lianyue disappeared during the war. I heard he went missing for ten days."

"What .." The smile on Lian Yan Qing's face froze. "Is Fourth Prince's words true?"

"Of course it's true. If This King were to joke around with news like this, it would be too outrageous."

".." Lian Yan Qing's face paled. He knew that the Chidans were attacking the mountain customs, but the letter from Yan Fu did not mention that Ji'er had gone missing.

Lian Yan Qing hurriedly found Lian Ruyue and said with a tight voice, "Yi'er is missing. Do you know about this!?"

"Father, I just got the news." When Feng Qianyue had told her about this earlier, it was as if a needle had pierced into his heart. He didn't have any intention of staying with Imperial Concubine Liang and had only sat for a short while before returning.

Lian Yan Qing's legs went soft as he fell onto the chair. With a face full of pain, he muttered, "It's over, it's over. I'm afraid the odds are against us! I should never have agreed to let him go to the customs. He is my eldest son.

"Father, the news is that he's missing, not dead." Father, the news is that he's missing, not dead. Lian Ruyue was holding the handkerchief in her hand. Since she was speaking these words to Lian Yanqing, she was mostly speaking to herself — —

In his previous life, he had been tortured to the point that he didn't look like a human ghost or a ghost. Now that Xiao Zhenhai was dead, logically speaking, his fate should have changed.

"Yi, ah, Yi, you must save your life to come back!" Lian Yan Qing cried.

"Father, quickly go speak to the Emperor about this. It was the Emperor who ordered Yi'er to go to the mountain customs, and now that something has happened to Yi'er, he is the eldest son of our Lian Clan. The Emperor will definitely not stand idly by." Lian Ruyue quickly said.

"That's right, that's right. You're right, your father almost became muddle-headed. Your father will go and ask the emperor to take charge now." Lian Yanqing mustered up his spirit and hurriedly went to find Zhou Chengdi.

After walking a few steps, he hurriedly turned back and said, "Oh, that's right. Just now, the Fourth Prince pulled me over and told me stories about monkeys and corn. He said that the Tenth Prince is compatible with you, so I'll let father consider the Tenth Prince for you." After saying this, Lian Yanqing left.

Tenth Prince Feng Rong? Heh, Feng Qianyue, there is no one in this world more disgusting than you!

"Eyebrows!" Lian Ruyue ordered with her brows furrowed, "Last time you said, what were the hidden positions that the Ninth Prince had left in the capital to protect me and the Imperial Concubine? What did he specialize in?"

"Stealth and Assassination!" Leng Mei said.

"Immediately follow my orders, get these secret guards to head to the mountain customs and help my fourth uncle find the Consecration Consecutive Technique, no matter how expensive it is! When you go out, ask the heavens to come in and see me. "

"Yes, Eldest Miss, I'll go now." Leng Mei hurried out.

Fairy Qingmei was so scared that her face turned pale. "Eldest Miss, how could this be? Does the young master .. does he .."

"No, absolutely not!" Lian Ruyue immediately said.

"Could it be .. could it be that it was Xu Xianfei's doing again? She's already harmed young master .." Qing Dai said.

Lian Ruyue shook her head, "She doesn't dare to do it now, and I'm keeping an eye on her. She won't do anything to Yi'Er for the time being."

"Bodhisattva ah Bodhisattva, you have to protect our young master. Young master is an excellent man, I beg you, please keep him safe." Fairy immediately knelt down and said with tears streaming down her face.

Lian Ruyue suddenly felt her vision go black.

"Eldest Miss!" She hurried to her feet and supported her.

"Qingdai, get me the needle!" She sat down in a chair and ordered, feeling a pang in her chest.

"Yes." Qing Dai quickly took out an embroidery needle, and Lian Ruyue took the needle and pierced it into one of her acupoints. Suddenly, a drop of blood flowed out. She immediately sobered up and said:

"Feng Qianyue picked up this time to tell me and Father about this matter, he must have some sort of plan, he's intentionally disturbing my mind, and since we don't know what's waiting for me in Ningde Manor, I must focus my mind, so as to not be disturbed by him. Qingdai, go and instruct Senior Servant Tai and the rest, always pay attention to the surroundings, if they discover anyone suspicious, immediately come and tell me."

"Yes, Eldest Miss. This servant will go now." She got up, dried her eyes, and hurried out.

What exactly would Feng Qianyue do? What kind of secret was hidden in this Ningde Manor?

She could faintly sense that danger lurked in every direction.

When Zhou Chengdi heard about the disappearance of Lian Fu, he thought of that high-spirited youth and swore in front of him that he would definitely make a great contribution and return in a righteous manner.

He then gave the order for the Assistant Minister of War, Yue Hua, to immediately lead a troop to the mountain customs office to search for the Lian Fu.

Lian Yanqing worriedly asked Zhou Chengdi to take a leave of absence. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he sent another group of people to the mountain customs.

Even though he had already been very careful, his mother and his first wife still found out about the news of the disappearance of Lian Lian Fu. When the two of them heard the bad news, they both fainted, especially the first wife, who was sick and unable to get up, washing her face with tears all day long.

The dinner banquet continued as usual, but the news of Lian Fu's disappearance in the mountain and customs area spread like wildfire. When the news reached Xu Xianfei's side, she was so happy that she couldn't help but reveal a smile and say:

"This is great! The heavens are on my side! Disappearing during the battle is sure to bring about disaster!"

Wei You, who was combing his wife's hair, found the words pleasant to the ears. "This time, Lian Ruyue won't be appearing at tonight's banquet. This is good as well. I don't want to see her."

The female guest and the male guest separated. The male guest looked over and saw that, other than the princes, Xiao Hu and Xiao He were also there, their mood was different from the others. Xiao He did not open his mouth to say a single word, but his expression was a little dazed as he looked at the female guest's seat opposite him, as if he was looking for something, as if he was reminiscing about something.

After the banquet had begun, everyone was in high spirits as they chatted and laughed merrily. There were also many people who were discussing in low voices.

"Have you heard that the eldest son of the family, Lian Meng, has disappeared. I heard that he disappeared during the battle. Of the thirty people that went with him, only he hasn't returned." Fan Yu from the general's estate pulled over the crowd and said.

"That would be disastrous." Someone immediately answered.

"I remember that Lian Lian Fang, he was handsome. In the capital, Lian Ru Yue was always attached to his sister, afraid that people would bully his sister. He was very protective of Lian Ru Yue."

"Sigh, she's still young, what a pity."

"Lian Lu Yue must be very sad. Look, she hasn't appeared yet. It seems she won't appear now."

"Of course, the two of them have a good relationship. In the past, I heard that there were people who mistakenly thought that Lian Fu likes his sister."

Liu Xi who was sitting at the side heard the discussion of these people and could not bear to listen any longer. She immediately frowned and said coldly, "If he's just missing, you guys just have to say that it's not good for him. If the Lian Family hears about it, it's not a good thing.

A few chattering people suddenly heard this reprimand and turned their heads around. When they saw that it was Liu Xi Ren, who had a big belly, they wanted to refute him, but they held back and scattered.

"Hmph." Liu Xi Ren snorted coldly, "One at a time, don't even hope for others to get better!"

As she was speaking, she looked up and saw Ruyue walking in with the support of a servant girl. Her face was covered with a light makeup, and she was dressed in a long green dress.

When she appeared, many people at the scene quieted down. They looked at her quietly, as if they wanted to see the dejection on her face.

However, no, apart from the faint sadness in her eyes, she was not battered and exhausted.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts. Wasn't she worried for her brother?

"Yue, come here." Seeing that everyone was waiting to see Lian Ruyue make a joke out of herself, Liu Xi hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

Lian Ruyue nodded to her, then walked to her side and sat down. "Quickly sit down, don't stand."

Liu Xi's abdomen was like a round ball, making her body a lot more plump up. Everyone said that she had such a big belly in only six months, so she must have carried two in her womb at the same time.

I've heard all about it, don't worry, your little brother is very kind-hearted with his mantra. When I was sitting in the palanquin in the past, I saw him standing up for the hawkers on the street. Liu Xi Ren said.

"I'm fine. I believe that Yi'er will be blessed by the heavens. Besides, the Emperor has already sent his elites to find the Lian Fu. With the protection of the Emperor, Yi'er will return safely."

As Lian Ru Yue said this, her gaze slowly swept past those people who were talking animatedly.

"Yeah, some people, it's better to keep their mouths clean." Liu Xi Ren glared at those people.

When Fan Yu and the others heard her mention the emperor, they all fell silent, not daring to say another word.

At this time, a melodious and mournful sound of a lute rang out. This sound seemed to suddenly cut across his heart.

Immediately, everyone who was drinking and having fun raised their heads, only to see that the musicians on stage were playing a lament for the rest of their lives, while the woman in the middle was holding a lute, her jade-white fingers slowly slipping off the strings.

She raised her lips and sang:

"The fragrances of the Red Lotus Root,

Relax Luo Chang and board the boat alone.

Who in the clouds would send a beautiful book,

The moon was full in the west wing.

Flowers float in the water,

One kind of love, two places to worry about.

There was nothing to be done about it.

"Just when I was frowning, I suddenly thought of something."

As the pink petal gently brushed past her, she was like the person in the scenery. Zhou Chengdi, who was originally talking to the imperial concubine beside him, raised his head when he heard her voice, and his slightly exhausted expression became absent-minded.
