When they recalled the feeling of surviving a calamity today, they heaved a sigh of relief. They were somewhat excited as they chattered on.

”I was so scared today that I thought something must have happened to Eldest Miss.”

”That's right young miss, this servant even thought she was doomed.”

”Fortunately, Lord Ye Feng arrived in time and saved us. However, that Senior Servant Xiang was still nothing. They didn't even see clearly who saved us.”

The two maidservants seemed to talk a bit more than usual, and also seemed to be very happy. As they tidied up the stains on Lian Ruyue's clothes, they chattered on.

Lian Ru Yue didn't say anything as she recalled the scene from before. She looked at her hand and felt that the smell of his body was still lingering around her fingertips.

”Eldest Miss, you should wear your cloak first. Go back to your residence and quickly change into a new one.” She tied the straps of her cloak and put Mrs. Tomboy in her hands.

She raised her head in shock and said, ”Eldest Miss, did you catch a cold? Your face is so red.”

Lian Ruyue stared blankly. She pressed her hand to her face and found that it was astonishingly hot.

”Cold? When we get back to the mansion, we should hurry up and invite Doctor Lu over. It must be because he was wearing wet clothes for too long. ” Xia Xiang hurriedly said as she placed an extra Tang Mu beside Lian Ruyue.

”…” Lian Yue, who had always been calm and indifferent, now had a stiff expression. ”No, it's too hot.” As he spoke, he moved Grandma Tang away from him.

”Hot?” Blue and Dai-xiang blinked at the same time, looking at her in confusion.

”I'll rest for a while. When it's time, you guys can call for me.” Lian Ruyue closed her eyes and tightly held the Sage Tang in her hands, not saying another word.

Lian Ru Yue's heart slowly calmed down as she started to think about Feng Qianyue.

It was the same in his previous life, but now that he thought about it, the conditions that Feng Qianyue had promised Xiao Zhenhai, there was definitely a small part of it. Once he ascended the throne, he would kick out Lian Ru Yue as the main target, then eliminate the Xiao family, and allow Lian Shiya to command the harem.

From start to finish, Xiao Zhenhai had never allowed his daughter to marry Feng Qianyue, nor did he allow her to become the empress.

Lian Ru Yue had been puzzled previously, but she slowly came to understand that Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Qianyue's cooperation must be deeply aware of his character. That was why he didn't want his daughter to marry such a sinister and frightening person.

However, he still needed someone he could control to be in charge of the imperial harem and protect his power and influence. This person was undoubtedly the best choice for Lian Shiya, so Lian Shiya used all sorts of beauties to seduce Feng Qianyue.

What he cared about was not Lian Shiya's happiness, but whether or not his power could be consolidated.

But in this life, she wouldn't allow Xiao Zhenhai to arrange everything so well, wouldn't let him gain power and protect his entire family. She wanted to send Feng Qianyue and Xiao Rou into a mess from the very start, and let these two people fall in love and kill each other!

She had never thought of being a good person!

As he was thinking, the horse carriage suddenly arrived, and the horse let out an ear-piercing cry.

Lian Ruyue was stunned for a moment as she recovered from her thoughts.

”Fourth Prince, Eldest Miss is resting inside. She's too tired.” A cold voice came from outside the carriage.

Feng Qianyue?

She opened the carriage's curtain to see Feng Qianyue standing in front of the carriage with a sinister expression, his entire body emitting a deep and terrifying aura.

Leng Mei held a sword in her hand, blocking the front of the carriage. She was not afraid, even if the enemy was the emperor, she would pull out her sword and risk her life if it hurt Lian Ruyue.

No matter what, the eldest miss must not have any mishaps, not even a single strand of hair.
