C106 (2/2)

Shocked, Feng Ye intentionally crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, ”Little girl, you want to steal my treasure?”

However, Lian Yue didn't have the intention to joke around. She suddenly pulled with force, and the ruby was pulled out from his collar — —

”You …” Following that, Feng Ye's body fell forward. With a clink, a reddish-brown pill fell out of the gem and rolled around his feet.

What is this...

Feng Ye's expression changed. How could there be such a thing in his buttons? He actually had no idea.

Lian Ruyue bent down to pick up this strange thing. It was a pill; it was a little soft when she pinched it, but when she put it on her nose to smell it, she found there was no smell. It was because of this that no one could detect it.

”How did you know I had this in my button?” Feng Ye was extremely astonished. He took the pill from Lian Ruyue's hand and carefully examined it.

”How should I know? What's important is why the eighth prince hid this medicine in his coat buckle. What's the use of this medicine? Why would he hide such a medicine inside?”

”This fur coat was bestowed by the empress that year.” Feng Ye recalled.

”But the empress doesn't know of the existence of this medicine … Someone else secretly put it in. ” She remembered that before she married Feng Qianyue, she once heard him secretly instructing his subordinates to hide a medicinal pill in a red gem when she was participating in a hunt in the Imperial Palace.

The moment she saw the ruby on Feng Ye's fur coat, she remembered what Feng Qianyue had said before. It was only then that she suddenly associated the two of them.

”Who?” Feng Ye's eyes revealed a shocked expression. ”Why would he put such a medicine on my clothes? What is his purpose?”

”This... ”We'll need the Ninth Prince to check for himself.” She didn't plan on hinting too much. Firstly, Feng Ye had to personally investigate this matter before she could truly understand. Secondly, if Feng Ye couldn't even investigate a single truth, then there was no need for her to ally herself with him.

Feng Ye's cold gaze slightly narrowed, then he picked up the pill and quickly left. As he turned around, his expression was ice-cold!

”Was this also done by the fourth prince's brother? Is that medicine poisonous? ” As it turned out, Feng Yunzheng also did not know that there was something hidden inside Feng Ye's coat buckle.

”Yes, it was done by the fourth prince. As for whether or not it's poison, and what poison, it all depends on the results of the eighth prince's investigation. I am curious to know as well.” Except, whether it was poison or not, it was still not good news for Feng Ye.

”The four royal brothers have really hidden it well.” Feng Yunzheng smirked as his face revealed a touch of ridicule. ”For the sake of the throne, you've spent your entire life's effort.”

”Yeah, for the sake of a throne, he could take everyone in the world down.” Lian Ruyue softly said.

The sun was setting now, and the glow of the sunset was spreading across the sky like fire.

”Ninth Prince, it's almost dusk. I should return to my residence. Yi'er is still waiting for me in the carriage.” Lian Ruyue glanced at the sky and said.

”Go.” Feng Yunzheng's eyebrows held a smile as he nodded.

Lian Ruyue turned around and walked towards the entrance of the princess' mansion. After taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around as she asked:

”Why did Your Highness take Princess An Guo's bow and arrows just now? According to what I know, Princess' archery skills are also very good. It shouldn't be difficult to hit the chrysanthemum on my head.”

There was a faint tinge of elegance in Feng Yunzheng's eyes. Under the setting sun, his pupils became deeper and deeper. His voice was especially clear as he said, ”If I give you to someone else, I won't be at ease.”

Lian Ruyue's heart trembled when she heard this. When she looked at him again, her gaze was so deep that it would cause one to be unable to extricate themselves from it.

She lowered her eyes and said, ”Ninth Prince, be on your guard and take care of yourself.” With that, she quickly left, and her heartbeat suddenly sped up.

”Eldest Miss, Young Master is already waiting in the carriage. He has already said goodbye to the Princess.” The three maidservants who were waiting at the side walked up and said.

”Let's go.” Lian Ruyue nodded and left the princess' mansion with the maid. When the green branch reached the door, it turned around and saw Feng Yunzheng still standing there. She slightly nodded.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Princess' Mansion, and upon hearing the sound of footsteps, it hurriedly opened the door, hurriedly opened it, and jumped down from the carriage.

”Elder sister …”

Lian Ruyue gave her hand to Lian Fu and prepared to board the carriage.

”Lunar Blaze!” At this moment, a rude voice stopped her in her tracks.
