The plan was completed. Xiao Shan was imprisoned and the Xiao family was heavily injured. Xiao Zhenhai was now in a difficult situation and the empress was sent to the Cold Palace.

”I will never get involved in a fight like this. It's too scary.” At this time, Lian Meng, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.

That night, he witnessed with his own eyes how the father and son planned things step by step. There were traps everywhere in this palace, as if there was a huge monster with its mouth wide open, and it was unknown when it would start chewing and devouring people.

Lian Ru Yue opened her eyes, her tone exceptionally calm as she said, ”The struggle for benefits, the struggle for power, is like a huge whirlpool. Sometimes, you don't even have a choice, you're swept up in it. Not just the palace, but our residence as well? As if walking on thin ice, every step is extremely shocking. ”

She had already anticipated that the Xiao Clan would seize the opportunity to make trouble. With this, she believed that even if the Xiao Clan were to stir up trouble, it would be of no use. After being together with Leng Mei for so long, she already knew that the Ninth Prince's subordinates were reliable.

”Elder sister, could it be that there isn't a place that isn't deceptive and simple?” Lian Fang was like a pure crystal. No matter what he experienced, no matter how bizarre his background was, his heart always had a transparent and pure piece. It was also the place that Ru Yue wanted to protect the most.

”I don't know, maybe.” However, she had never encountered one before. From her previous life until now, she was constantly being plotted against. It was just that in this life, she had learned how to protect herself and how to take revenge on her enemies.

Although he didn't hear anything from Ru Yue, Lian Fang felt that everything that happened tonight was related to his sister. He looked at the person in front of him through the gray haze, and his heart clenched in pain.

”Elder sister, this is for you.” Suddenly, as if he was performing a magic trick, he took out something from behind him, placed it in front of Lian Ruyue, and mischievously shook it.

Lian Ruyue's eyes lit up when she saw it, and her face exposed a touch of brilliant smile that she hadn't seen in a long time, and happily said, ”Sugar Gourd! ”Yi'er, where did you find this?”

When Lian Meng saw her smile, he immediately felt satisfied and also smiled. He placed the string of candied fruits in Lian Lu Yue's hand and said, ”When we were eating, I saw some fruits wrapped in syrup. They looked crystal clear and very tasty.

Lian Lu Yue took a bite and revealed an expression of child's satisfaction. ”It's really very delicious. Am I too hungry?”

”Eat.” Lian Fu stretched out his hand and caught it under her chin, so that the syrup wouldn't accidentally fall off and stain her clothes.

She raised her head and looked at the bright and gloomy young man in front of her. It was the same way in the past, every time she finished a task, Lian Lian Fang would stand by her side and ask if she was good or not, or give her something to eat.

Then, did this mean that the old Lian Fu had returned?

”Yi'er, you will always be my little brother. You will never change.”

”Mm, I know. You go ahead and eat.” He smiled and nodded, though his heart was bleeding.

At this moment, in the Prince of Yue's manor.

Feng Qianyue had just stepped into the prince's manor when the imperial edict from the hind leg arrived. He didn't even have time to undo the cloak on his body before he knelt on the ground to receive the edict —

”Four kings, Feng Qianyue. From today onwards, the prince shall descend upon the position of duke …”

The tone of the imperial edict was sharp and emotionless, directly lowering Feng Qianyue from a prince to a duke. From then on, his position and rank was one rank lower than the princes Feng Yunzheng and Feng Ye — —
