”Eighth Prince.”

”Eighth Prince.” Lian Ruyue and Lian Fu said at the same time.

Feng Ye looked at Lian Meng Yue and asked, ”Why are you two here?”

His eyes were tired, and his brow was no longer as proud as it had been. His face was heavy.

He saw that the eighth prince had something to say to his sister, so he made an excuse and left the imperial garden. He had always liked the eighth prince, and in the past, when he was with the sixth prince, the eighth prince would often be present, which made him feel that the eighth prince was frank and straightforward.

The two stood under a Hibiscus tree. Lian Ruyue quietly stood there with her head lowered, while Feng Ye's gaze was always on her.

These past few days, he had been entering the palace every day, going to the Winter Palace to guard Xu Xianfei.

It turned out that a few days ago, she was frightened by a group of snakes, causing her heart to palpitate.

No matter where she sat, no matter when, she would always suspect that snakes were crawling out. Even when the Emperor went to Winter Palace for the night, she would wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, dreaming that there were many snakes surrounding her, and then she would begin to scream. The Emperor was also frightened by her screams.

”Little girl, time flies. I remember the last time we met, it was last year in Yao City. Look at you, you've grown taller.” Feng Ye said as he looked at Lian Meng Yue, who had grown half a head taller.

”Yeah, time flies. Does Your Highness know who chased after you back in Yao City?” Lian Ruyue asked.

”I already knew half a year ago, so this time, I also secretly gave him a small gift.” ”After royal father punished Xiao Shan, I went to Ronghua Hall and knelt in front of royal father. I was moved by his words and put it down to reason, asking him to forgive the four royal brothers. royal father was greatly angered and reprimanded me, after a short while, he wrote an imperial decree to demote the four royal brothers.”

When Lian Ruyue heard this, her eyes showed a slight difference. It seemed that the eighth prince was more meticulous than she had imagined. When Feng Ye took the opportunity to plead for him at this time, he could only further arouse the anger within the Emperor's heart, as well as his dissatisfaction with Feng Qianyue. If he tried to contact him again regarding the matter of him asking to marry Xiao Zhenhai's broken daughter, he would feel that this seemingly low-key and reserved son of his that did not fight for him had already secretly won over his subjects and brothers, and he would be anxious to suppress Feng Qianyue.

”The eighth prince's actions are truly the finishing touch.” Lian Ruyue could not help but sigh.

”What about you? How were you after that?” Feng Ye looked at her always cold eyes and asked.

Lian Ruyue nodded, ”I'm fine.”

The two became silent again. A wave of warmth surged in Feng Ye's heart. He was ready to spew it out, but he held it back.

”Eighth Prince, you have something to ask me, right?” Lian Ruyue asked.

Feng Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he sounded very calm. ”Yes, but I'm worried that once I ask, we won't even have the chance to stand there and talk properly.”

On the day of the empress dowager's birthday banquet, Lian Fu told the emperor about a matter. He said that he and his sister had been nearly bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and later on, the imperial bodyguard who had testified even brought out the snake.

He had a feeling that there must be a connection between these two matters. The snake in his mother's palace had not appeared by chance, but had been secretly arranged by someone. And this person …

He looked at Lian Ri Yue, secretly clenching and unclenching his fists.
