”Yes, Empress.” When Senior Servant Li heard this, she hastily left.

Lian Shufei sat on the chair, holding the handkerchief tightly. Her eyes turned as she began to ponder.

Roughly two hours later, Lian Yanqing hurried over from the Hall of Political Affairs. He knelt in front of Lian Shufei and said, ”May I ask why Empress is in such a hurry to find this humble subject?”

”Prime Minister, hurry up.” Lian Shufei hurriedly said.

Seeing Imperial Concubine Fu's grave expression, Lian Yan Qing was somewhat puzzled. ”Empress, what happened?” ”Did Yi'er and Yue'er do something today?”

”Brother, I need to tell you a piece of news. This might be good news for the Lian Family, but it might be bad news.” Even Shufei's attitude made Yan Qing nervous as well — —

”Empress, please speak.”

”Your Majesty, he …” He's fallen for our Yue Er! ” Of course the emperor wouldn't say directly which imperial concubine's family he fancied, but his attitude towards them just now had already been made clear. It was a hint that if Imperial Concubine Shuang wanted to facilitate this matter, she wouldn't be able to reach Imperial Concubine Fu's status today even if she didn't have the slightest intention to do so.

”What?” Lian Yan Qing was shocked. ”Your Majesty, he …” Did he fall for Yue Er? ”

This news caused an intense impact to pound into Lian Yan Qing's heart. He stared in shock for a full quarter of an hour!

From Imperial Physician Rong's tone, he recalled some of his daily affairs and felt that the Ninth Prince had some ulterior motives towards Xiyue. He thought that since the Ninth Prince was in the prime of his life, if Yue'er were to marry him, it would be beneficial for the Lian Family, which was why he had deliberately allowed her to enter the palace to thank Consort Liang. But he couldn't show it too clearly, lest unnecessary rumors and rumors ruin Yue'er's reputation, so he asked her to enter the palace together with him.

No matter what, he never would have thought that the Emperor would think of Yue'er!

”Elder brother, this matter is absolutely true. The Emperor has expressed to me that he can't easily speak of this matter, so he wants me to tell you!”

Even Yan Qing was taken aback by this news. He was truly surprised. ”According to the Empress's opinion, what should this humble subject do now?”

”Littlemoon still has a year before she reaches her prime. In order to prevent the Emperor from having a child enter the palace, it would be impossible for him to do so. However, since he had spoken, no one could move against Yue'er.

Therefore, in this year, your elder brother must grasp everything well and not accept any marriage proposal. The most important thing is to keep Yue Er in his sights, not to have a personal life with anyone, and not to get too close with any man. This was a good thing for the Lian Family. With Yue'er's intelligence, she would be like a fish in water in the palace in the future. But if there was any deviation, you, me, and even the entire family would suffer! ”Brother, you can understand what I mean.”

Lian Yan Qing nodded and said, ”This humble subject understands the Empress's painstaking efforts.”

Lian Shufei sat up straight and said, ”Let's not be too nervous. Overall, it's a good thing. ”All these years, elder brother has always kept a low profile and maintained a neutral position, not allying with anyone. It seems that it's correct. The Emperor won't isolate the women of my Lian Family and allow them to enter the palace just because he dreaded elder brother's power.”

As Lian Yanqing left the palace, he thought about how he wanted to curry favor with the imperial concubine and marry the ninth prince. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

”Master, we're back.” Outside the True Sun Sect, the coachman said.

”No, let's go to the Nine Flower Temple. We are going to find the abbot to give our fates!” Lian Yanqing ordered the coachman.
