C636 Wily mind (1/2)

”Also, madam, your big brother, Crown Prince Lu Mao was brought over from Pingzhou by Ninth Prince and imprisoned by the emperor. I heard that the crown prince secretly murdered Ninth Prince, even the young prefecture lord was not spared …”

”How did it suddenly turn out like this? Everything happened without any warning …” Madam Xiao felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue. Her mind was in a state of chaos, but she woke up very quickly because she heard hurried footsteps. A group of guards surrounded her.

”The Emperor has decreed that the Duke of Xiao wishes to rebel and commit a heinous crime. Today, he will investigate the entire Xiao Estate and imprison Madam Xiao within the Ministry of Justice.”

With a single command, Madam Xiao was held captive by two guards.

”Let go, I will leave by myself!” Madam Xiao's face was full of righteousness. She threw off the guard's hand and walked outside with her head held high. At this moment, she felt that she was not Madam Xiao, but Lu Xi.

The doors of the Xiao family mansion were heavily closed. Two white seals were affixed to the door, temporarily putting the servants in jail.

The Duke of Yue's estate.

As soon as Feng Qianyue returned to the manor, Xiao Rou stumbled as she ran out of the room with disheveled hair and threw herself onto Feng Qianyue. Her face was pale as a sheet, and her eyes revealed a terrified and uneasy expression. Your Highness, is that true? My father and brother were stripped of their titles by the Emperor, and our Xiao family was sealed off? ”

Feng Qianyue stood upright, tightly clenching his tender lips. His face was expressionless, and he did not say a single word.

Xiao Rou's heart sank when she saw his expression. Tears rolled down her cheeks. ”It's true, it's true. How could it be like this? Why …”

As she spoke, her vision went black and she fainted in Feng Qianyue's arms.

”Someone come!” Pass on the message to the imperial physician! ” Feng Qianyue held onto Xiao Rou's soft and supple body with both hands and shouted with a calm voice.

The imperial physician rushed over in a hurry. Feng Qianyue grabbed the imperial physician by the collar and said with a hint of threat in his voice, ”In any case, protect this prince's child!”

”Yes, yes, yes. Your Highness, this lowly subordinate will do his best.” The imperial physician lifted a hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Feng Qianyue stood in the middle of the courtyard, that cold light shone on his handsome face, and his shadow fell onto the ground. He was pondering how he had walked step by step to this day, and what sort of meaning Xiao Zhenhai held for him.

”Your Highness, the wangfei is awake.” The butler walked over and said carefully.

Feng Qianyue walked into Xiao Rou's room. When Xiao Rou saw him, she hurriedly sat up and looked at him with teary eyes. She said, ”Your Highness.”

Feng Qianyue withdrew his pensive expression and sat down next to her. He held her hand and said, ”Don't be afraid, this prince is here.”
