C659 Flash of light (1/2)
Prince of Yue's estate.
Feng Qianyue quietly stood next to the fake mountain, and looked at the fish swimming around in the pond. After he threw down a piece of fish to eat, the fish squeezed themselves together and fought over this single grain.
”Ying Kong, look, the weak are prey to the strong. The fish are like humans, living and dying, constantly stealing what they want. However, the victor is usually only one person.”
”Your Highness, everything's still going according to plan. There's also news from the dungeons. Second Young Master has been brought out. The imperial physician is currently investigating.” Ying Kong reported.
”Yes.” Feng Qianyue nodded, and when he raised his head he saw Ying Kong hesitating to speak, so he said, ”Ask away.”
”Your Highness, please forgive me for my ignorance. Now that the emperor's decree has been passed down and the matter of the Xiao family has been settled, Your Highness should avoid it. Why are you still secretly helping Second Young Master?” Ying Kong asked, puzzled.
Now that this duke has been held in the air and has lost all of my power, I can't act rashly anymore. However, someone must do something for this king, and the Xiao family has already entered a hopeless situation, where Xiao He is like a leopard in hibernation. His filial piety is extremely heavy, so how could he watch his own father die in front of him? Feng Qianyue said with a cold smile seeping out of the corner of his mouth.
”What if Xiao He discovers His Highness's intentions and goes up to the Emperor to bite him back?” Ying Kong asked worriedly. He knew that the four princes would fall three times and every step they took would be on the tip of the blade.
”Xiao Zhenhai will be beheaded tomorrow at noon. Xiao He's time is limited, so I don't have the leisure to think about whether or not I have any intentions.”
Feng Qianyue threw the last of the fish food in his hand into the pond as he spoke.
Ying Kong nodded his head. ”This lowly subordinate understands Your Highness's meaning. Tonight, the Lian Family's banquet will be held, and Second Young Master will take action. Your Highness wants something to happen to the Lian Family. This way, not only can the Eleventh Princess be lured out, but also Second Young Master can suppress the Lian Family.”
Feng Qianyue's face revealed a trace of a smile that had no warmth on it as he said, ”This show will be very interesting to watch. After all, everyone has unknowingly been drawn into this vortex.
At that time, once he proved that Lian Lian Fu was not Lian Yan Qing's flesh and blood, then he would be able to take care of Ji Jiu while he was still alive.
Even if this duke cannot get the throne in my lifetime, Feng Yunzheng will not get it, and even more so, will not let Lian Xiyue have a good time.
Ying Kong, go and instruct the butler to prepare a generous gift. This king will be attending a banquet tonight at the Prime Minister's Estate. I wish to congratulate Lian Yanfu and Lian Fu. ”
”A generous gift? Your majesty, I'm afraid there's no need. ” ”Yesterday, when Minister Lian and Duke Ming An returned from the palace, many of the adults prepared gifts and went to congratulate them. However, they were all stopped outside and did not enter.
At the same time, the Prime Minister's Estate also sent word that no one who attends today's banquet is allowed to exceed the three taels of silver gift. Otherwise, no one will be allowed to enter. ”
”Heh, it is said that Xiao Zhenhai is a poisonous scorpion. Old fox, in this king's opinion, even Yan Qing is a cunning old fox.”
However, at this time, when the Lian Clan was in its most glory, he actually went out of his way to make such a rule, and it spread to the ears of the royal father. First, it was clearly different from Xiao Zhenhai's arrogant attitude back then, making the royal father hate the Xiao Clan even more.
Since he has done so, we shall do as he says and go empty-handed. ” Feng Qianyue instructed.
”Yes, Your Highness.”
”Madam, have you given the orders to the person who will be assisting her?” Feng Qian asked about Lian Shiya.
”I've arranged everything. She dressed up as a servant girl and entered the residence with me. By this time, Madam should have already settled down.”
”Everything depends on tonight.” Feng Qianyue threw the last handful of fish food into the pond. The sound seemed to come from a faraway place.
