C540 Yearning (2/2)

Feng Qianyue was slightly startled. He had never seen her expression before, and the smile on her face for whom?

This King has never wanted to be your enemy. How I wish that we were one at such a time.

At this very moment, she must also be waiting for someone to stand by his side. In the beginning, even if he were to speak up for her and pull Xiao Shan down, in her opinion, it was only because he was doing it to protect his mufei.

He suddenly thought of that little girl back in Yao City. She was bright, passionate, stubborn, and cold. She sat in front of him, calmly treating his wounds. Unexpectedly, she crashed into his heart.

”Little girl …” He gently called out as he held his hand to his heart. It suddenly hurt. Lian Yue was a little startled, but she didn't turn around to look at him. She only said one sentence —

”Eighth Prince, pay attention to the occasion. Don't give me the reputation of being obsessed with your reputation. When the time comes, no matter how you wash, you won't be able to wash it clean.”

Feng Ye said in a low voice, ”I would have liked for you to be so obsessed, but it's not the truth.”

Lian Ruyue no longer spoke and took two steps to the side.

Zhou Chengdi's frown deepened. He even coughed twice. His dragon body had been feeling unwell for some time now, and after today's interrogation, he looked a little tired.

”Your Majesty (royal father), take care of your dragon body!” Everyone quickly kneeled down and said.

”No problem.” Zhou Cheng Di raised his hand and said.

”Your majesty, this person really wasn't killed by my eldest brother. Please examine him thoroughly and return my eldest brother's innocence.” At that moment, Xiao Rou felt regret. She did not understand Xu Xianfei, so how could she form an alliance with her so easily?

At this time, Lian Ru Yue said, ”At first, Princess Yue took the handkerchief as evidence and said that I was the one who killed them. The goal was to frame Xiao Shan and prove that I wasn't the one who killed them, even the handkerchief wasn't mine.

Now, the princess of Yue said that she conspired with the consort to set up a trap for me in order to take revenge on me. She also said that I was infatuated with the eighth prince and thus had this plan, but the eighth prince and I both denied it. We were not familiar with each other, and everyone knew that I, Ru Yue, had never done anything out of line with the eighth prince.

Your Majesty, the princess of Yue's entire life, from the start till now, her words were in disarray. This was obviously to justify Xiao Shan, and she didn't hesitate to make up all sorts of lies in front of the emperor to deceive His Majesty.

Furthermore, the Duke of Guo and the Fourth Prince had used Xiao Shan's inability to bind a chicken as a reason to believe that the fatal wounds on Senior Servant Jin couldn't possibly have been caused by him. However, this was only a baseless guess and wasn't enough proof that Xiao Shan hadn't killed Senior Jin.

At this time, he will become more vicious than usual, and he will become more powerful than usual. It is not impossible for him to be stabbed a few times like this, and no matter how powerless Xiao Shan is, he will still be a lofty man. His strength will not be lacking. ”

”Your Majesty …” Xiao Zhenhai wanted to explain himself to Xiao Shan, but the king sighed and raised his hand to stop him.
