C634 Not too well (1/2)
In Ye Feng's heart, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He tilted his head and asked with a cold brows, ”Are you very familiar with him?”
”Not familiar.” With a cold expression, she pushed Ye Feng away, giving him a fierce glare before leaving.
Ye Feng stood in the same spot, and hit his chest with his fist, revealing a puzzled expression. He mumbled to himself, ”What's the matter with my heart?”

Imperial Concubine Liang's courtyard.
The guards and eunuchs who'd been guarding Concubine Liang had all left. Now that Concubine Liang had regained her freedom, the people in the courtyard could move about as before. Li mama let out a long sigh of relief.
Lian Ruyue looked at Imperial Concubine Liang and discovered that there was no joy in his eyes. Instead, there was a trace of desolation on his face. She actually understood Imperial Concubine Liang's feelings —
She had high hopes for Zhou Chengdi, for that man's trust.
However, that person was a Sovereign King, and even a Sovereign King that was not particularly wise. What he was considering, was never the trust between the two of them, but rather his identity as a Sovereign King.
”Empress …” Lian Ruyue reached out and gently held Imperial Concubine Liang's hand. ”It's fine now. There's the Ninth Prince.”
Imperial Concubine Liang froze for a moment. She knew Lian Ruyue was comforting her. A faint smile rose on her face as she said, ”Don't worry. I've already understood the principle of accompanying Jun Ruoruo like a tiger since I've endured this long.”
Lian Ruyue knew that when she married the emperor, she had to carefully hide all of her emotions and desires. Perhaps Imperial Concubine Liang initially had beautiful fantasies about Zhou Cheng Di, but after she stepped into the deep water of the imperial harem, she had to live on thin ice every day.
”Mufei, you've suffered. It's your child's fault for letting you be reprimanded by royal father and looked upon by others.” Feng Yunzheng kneeled on one knee in front of Imperial Concubine Liang. He looked at his own mufei with heartache, and guiltily said as he held her hands.
”Foolish child, you and I are mother and son, so how can you say these words that are foreign to us? Mother knows that right now, you are in the imperial court with the wolf at the front and the tiger at the back.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother is just a harem girl and doesn't understand the affairs of the court. She can't help you with anything big, so you'll have to rely on your own scheming. ” Imperial Concubine Liang lovingly raised a hand to caress Feng Yunzheng's face.
”Empress, you know very well that you have a beautiful character that is praised by everyone in the harem. No other Empress has as good a reputation as you. You have helped the Ninth Prince the most.” Lian Ruyue said.
Imperial Concubine Liang smiled, holding both of their hands in her palms. ”Now, Prince Anping, King Lu, is starting a rebellion. The people of the world say that the emperor has let down their Lu family, and they still don't know what the emperor will do. The situation in the court is getting more and more complicated. I just hope you two will be alright.”
”Mufei, now that your son has returned, your son will do his best to protect you and Yue-er.” As Feng Yunzheng spoke, his gaze fell upon Lian Yue's body. The red ropes on both their wrists were stuck together.
”Niangniang, Your Highness, County Lord, this servant just heard that when General Fan Ming was about to be executed by the emperor, he suddenly said that Prince An Qing's letter to Yanzhou Zhong Yuan was actually from the Duke of Xiao, oh, no, Xiao Zhenhai was the mastermind behind Xiao Zhenhai's plot. The emperor was furious and gave Xiao Zhenhai an additional crime, but General Fan Ming was still executed.” As the three of them were speaking, Senior Servant Li walked in and spoke in an anxious tone.
Imperial Concubine Liang frowned slightly as she said, ”General Fan really did say it.”
