C451 Really havent been here for a long time (1/2)

He wore a azure python robe with gold embroidered hem, and a snow-white fur fox cloak over his head. His gaze at her was full of looting as he pursed his lips and said,

”It's been a long time.” It's been a long time.

The cold brows secretly clenched into a fist as they stood behind Lian Ru Yue and looked at Feng Qianyue.

Lian Ruyue did not show any change in her expression, but maintained her calm expression. She slightly bent down and said, ”Greetings, Fourth Prince.”

”I heard that you've been promoted to the level of First-grade, as well as the county governor. This duke has come here specifically to congratulate you.”

”Many thanks to Your Highness. This is the emperor's love, I'm extremely terrified.” Lian Ruyue's expression did not change from beginning to end, as if she was talking to an unfamiliar person; a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Feng Qianyue had originally been filled with rage when he came to find her, but now that her expression, which had always been indifferent, had angered him even more, he suddenly took a step forward and backed off against the wall like the moon.

Leng Mei stepped forward immediately and pulled out her weapon from her waist, but Ying Kong also pulled out his sword and placed it between her eyebrows. With a sneer on his face, why would she be afraid of an ordinary guard?

”All of you go down. This King wants to say a few words to Eldest Miss Lian.” Feng Qianyue's gaze was still fixated on Lian Rue from the beginning to the end; he was unwilling to relax even for a moment as he instructed with a deep voice.

Lian Ruyue looked at her cold eyebrows and nodded. Only then did they slowly put away their weapons and walk away together with Ying Kong.

”I wonder what Her Highness wants to tell me?” Lian Ruyue's face had a clear trace of impatience.

As for Feng Qianyue, he stared fixedly at this demon-like woman, his palm slowly bent. When Lian Yue looked at his sullen expression, he felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart, and as if she had suddenly realized something, she exclaimed, ”I almost forgot to congratulate Fourth Highness for obtaining the precious freedom.”

”Freedom?” Feng Qianyue ruthlessly chewed on these two words, and said. ”Do you know what price I paid for these two words?”

”I don't know what price the 4th Prince paid for his freedom, but I know that since the 4th Prince is willing to pay this price, then it means that the 4th Prince also got what he wanted. Otherwise, the 4th Prince would never make this deal, am I right?” She understood Feng Qianyue too well, no matter what she did, she would definitely plot a thousand times, and only plan to be beneficial to herself.

”…” Feng Qianyue's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, ”Sometimes, I have a strange feeling about you. You seem to be the person who understands me the most in this world, and yet, you are the person who hates me the most.”

”Is that so? Your Highness has such a feeling? ” Lian Ru Yue seemed to be very shocked.

”Lian Ruyue, stop fooling around with me. Tell me, what are you thinking in your heart?” ”In my lifetime, from the moment I lived together with the palace maids and eunuchs, I have endured all kinds of humiliation and have finally become a prince, and now, I have become a duke. I have seen countless different kinds of people, I have unearthed their secrets, I have used their weaknesses, but there is no one like you that I can't figure out. I have never known what kind of person you are, I can't see your heart.

Every time you've done so, you've shown no hesitation to the people who have offended you, even your aunt, Zhao Yi, who is closely related to your family, but you can still show mercy to the empress for the sake of my eleventh sister.

You are the most vicious person, but you are also the most soft-hearted.

I realised that when I was in the dungeon, I wasn't thinking about how to regain royal father's trust, but rather, I was thinking about you. The moment I closed my eyes, that beautiful and cold-blooded face of yours appeared in front of me.

So, tell me, Lian Ruyue, who exactly are you? ”
