C392

She quickly walked from the other side of the cabin to the rear of the cabin. Biting down on her teeth, she lifted her steel-like dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the deck, then forcefully pulled it out, causing a small hole to appear in the back of the boat. Some of the water squeezed in with it, and she did not stop for a moment, but quickly and repeatedly poked it with all her might, causing five or six small holes to appear in the back of the cabin.

Just as she finished doing all this, she heard the Emperor's voice talking to the boatman. Lian Yue turned her head to look at the holes. Water was slowly flowing in, and a cold smile appeared on her face.

Then, with a calm and tranquil expression, she walked into the cabin as if nothing had happened. She pulled up the curtains and looked at Yi Yi, who was sitting on the shore, with a faint smile on her face.

At this moment, Emperor Zhou Cheng walked over. She pretended to inadvertently look up and was surprised to see the Emperor. Then, she got up, bent her knees, and bowed as she said, "This subject pays her respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

She was wearing a snow-white fox fur cape, a hanging bun, and two golden sparrow pearls. On both sides, there were two long ribbons floating in the air. Her slim body was leaning against the side of the boat.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Zhou Cheng Emperor's face. A hint of male admiration flashed past his eyes as he said, "This Emperor has just finished approving the imperial reports and is here to relax for a moment."

"It is the fortune of the imperial government and the common people for the emperor to toil for the country." Like the moon, Lian Lianyue maintained the proper distance.

"Hahaha." Zhou Cheng Di laughed loudly and said, "I've heard rumors that you lead the guards to save my brother. You have the demeanor of a woman."

"Thank you for your praise, your majesty." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.

Zhou Cheng Emperor sat in front of Lian Ruoyue. His entire body was emitting an imposing aura unique to any emperor. The bright yellow dragon robe made him look even more spirited.

The princes and royal daughters of Emperor Zhou were all handsome and elegant. They were all beautiful, and his appearance was also naturally top-notch. As time passed, his bearing became more and more charming.

As expected, the boat had quietly left the shore and was swimming towards the center of the lake. Lian Yueyue's hand was quietly holding the cushion of the seat beneath her.

Meanwhile, the palace guards, Feng De Gui, and the other eunuchs and maids stood by the shore and waited together. Lian Shufei and Feng Yu Yao stood in a certain pavilion in the imperial garden while Imperial Concubine Su looked at the boat in the middle of the lake and said:

"The emperor should be very happy. I was the one who told the boatman to take the boat to the center. Your cousin will have nowhere to run to."

"Mufei, if we do this, Cousin Yue'er will be angry. After all, we lied to her." Feng Tang Yao asked worriedly.

What kind of women do you have by your father's side that you don't have? I'm afraid that once the heat passes and he doesn't like her, then it would be better for him to strike the iron while it's hot. Since he's too young, he might as well enter the palace to properly serve her. Imperial Concubine Su said after thinking for a while.

Feng Tang Yao nodded, "What mufei said is not without reason. I hope everything goes smoothly."

"Feng Defei has six princes, while Xu Xian has eight princes and a good imperial concubine has nine princes. As long as I, Consort Su, don't have a son, we cannot compete for power and power. Although you are favored by your royal father, you are still a girl's family, so we can only constantly think of ways to keep your royal father's heart, and our life in the palace will be better. Otherwise, look at Mu Yuesheng. Her current life is no different from being forced into a cold palace. The reason I stayed in the harem for thirteen years is because I knew how to live in peace, how to please the Emperor at all times, and let him think that we knew what he wanted, mother and daughter. " Imperial Concubine Fu sighed with emotion.

When Feng Yu heard Imperial Concubine Su's words, a sense of crisis welled up in her heart. "Imperial Concubine, I understand now. I will never be like you, Yue'er."

Your Cousin Yue'er said that she was willing to listen to my and her father's arrangements. Even if she was a little angry because we tricked her, it was still a good thing for her to think about it. To be favored by the Emperor in time, she wouldn't blame us. " Imperial Concubine Su said affirmatively.

"Then let's wait here and see what happens!" Feng Tang Yao said.

"You guys go over there and guard it. No one is allowed to come over!" Imperial Concubine Fu ordered the ten or so guards outside the pavilion.

"Yes, Empress." Several of them brought the guards to guard the circular arched door.

At this moment, on the boat.

Zhou Chengdi looked at the lovebirds flying across the treetops and said, "Such beautiful scenery has really made Zhen's poetry flourish. Ru Yue, Zhen's poem, how about you listen to it?"

"This subject's daughter has long heard of the Emperor's attainments in poetry. I was fortunate enough to witness it on the spot today. This subject is truly fortunate." Lian Ruyue slowly explained.

The water from the stern slowly crept in through the holes made by the dagger. Little by little, quietly, even the expression on Moon's face seemed to look forward to the Emperor's poem, while her heart was secretly calculating how much of the water had come in.

Emperor Zhou Cheng didn't know what Lian Xiyue was thinking at the moment. He looked at the lake surface and saw a bird of love flying across the lake surface, bringing up a spray of water. He blurted out:

Laughing faintly and keeping flowers, the flowers are Qingyan. Winter to the spring, before the pieces fell into the monarch. Qing Qing and Jun Yu had a deep love for each other. "Blue Bird: Lovesick)

This poem was clearly written by a man to a woman who was in love with him. Actually, it was also a hint that Zhou Chengdi had given to Lian Meng Yue.

Lian Ru Yue nodded as she listened and said, "The emperor entrusts love with the green birds, the melody with a trace of sadness, but this subject can also hear the emperor's revenge for governing the country and the affection of the people from between these words. Don't complain that the time is short, the green bird will eventually return, the emperor's meaning is that the governance of the country should work hard, and one day shouldn't be blamed for being too short."

Zhou Cheng Di was startled. This child, upon hearing such a poem, was not shy and timid like a normal girl. Instead, he had a serious expression as he read through the poem. He even voiced the thoughts of ruling over a country and worrying about the people.

"Hahaha, hahaha …" He could not help but raise his head and laugh out loud. He clapped his hands and looked at Lian Ri Yue with a burning gaze as he said, "Interesting, interesting. Now, you can also compose a poem."

Lian Ru Yue stood up, not panicking at all. She calmly said, "Your Imperial Majesty, please forgive me. This subject is the one who is foolish. I really can't say anything."

"It's fine. This place is beautiful. In that case, I shall enjoy the beautiful scenery while thinking about it. If you are unable to do it, I will not allow you to come ashore." Zhou Cheng Emperor said as he looked at Lian Meng Yue with a deep expression.

"Imperial Concubine Fu, the ninth prince has come!" At this time, from the pavilion, the guard that was guarding the door and preventing anyone from entering hurriedly walked over and said nervously.

Imperial Concubine Su stared blankly for a moment before focusing and saying, "What does he want to do now?"

Imperial Concubine Su was still thinking when Feng Ziyao's gaze flashed. Seeing Feng Yunzheng walk in, the guards stopped him with their heads lowered, not daring to block the way of the Ninth Prince.

Seeing Feng Yunzheng walk over, Consort Su's eyebrows slightly jumped.

Feng Tang Yao's face was filled with pleasant surprise as she called out, "Ninth Brother, why have you come?"

Her heart thumped as she thought, "Ninth Brother shouldn't have heard the conversation between me and mufei, right?"

Feng Yunzheng wore a silver brocade robe and had an extraordinary bearing. He had a smile on his face as he said, "I just happened to pass by. I didn't think that Imperial Concubine Shuang and Thirteenth Sis would be here as well."

Imperial Concubine Fu ignored the initial displeasure in her heart and seemed very happy. She said, "You must have come over from Imperial Concubine Big Sis's side."

"Yunzheng greets Imperial Concubine Fu. I didn't come from my mufei's place, I came from the Ministry of Public Affairs. Song Qingyang of the Ministry of Public Affairs has an urgent matter to discuss with Imperial Father, and people from Hall of Prosperity said that Imperial Father came to Lake of Sparrows, so I came with them."

The fist in his sleeve slowly tightened, and a wave of Qi that was as strong as magma rushed out without any pattern from his chest!

He could not imagine being alone with a man who desired Yue'er, especially when that person was the ruler of a nation, his royal father!

Imperial Concubine Su looked over and saw Song Qingyang standing there. Song Qingyang's reputation had risen greatly because of his meritorious treatment for disasters. Naturally, Imperial Concubine Fu recognized him.

And this person who held an influential position within the imperial government had long since silently become a member of the Phoenix Cloud Zheng faction.

"This... The emperor is currently swimming in the lake, so I ask that Ninth Prince and Lord Song wait a little longer. " Consort Su's face revealed a troubled expression as she said.

This was an excellent opportunity. If she missed this chance, she would not know when she would be able to hide herself again. She thought to herself that she couldn't let Song Qingyang interrupt the emperor and Lian Ruyue right now.

"Absolutely not!" Song Qingyang walked over with large strides and knelt on one knee. With a righteous face, he said, "This matter is urgent. This humble subject must see His Majesty immediately."

Shufei's face darkened as she spoke in a righteous tone, "The emperor is busy with national affairs and resting. Would Sir Song not even give him the time to recuperate?" If we disturb the emperor, you can afford to shoulder this crime! "

"Master Song, you should go. If royal father is unhappy, then I will bear the burden." Feng Yunzheng looked at Shufei with a bit of pressure in his eyes, causing her to feel a wave of pressure from his back.

This matter, aboard the ship.

Lian Ruyue put on an expression as if she was deep in thought. In fact, she was already sensitive to the fact that the boat was slightly lifting and sinking backwards.

This meant that the water might have already slowly filled the rear cabin. Zhou Chengdi didn't notice this, so he didn't notice it at all.
