C451 Really haven't been here for a long time

He wore a azure python robe with gold embroidered hem, and a snow-white fur fox cloak over his head. His gaze at her was full of looting as he pursed his lips and said,

"It's been a long time." It's been a long time.

The cold brows secretly clenched into a fist as they stood behind Lian Ru Yue and looked at Feng Qianyue.

Lian Ruyue did not show any change in her expression, but maintained her calm expression. She slightly bent down and said, "Greetings, Fourth Prince."

"I heard that you've been promoted to the level of First-grade, as well as the county governor. This duke has come here specifically to congratulate you."

"Many thanks to Your Highness. This is the emperor's love, I'm extremely terrified." Lian Ruyue's expression did not change from beginning to end, as if she was talking to an unfamiliar person; a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Feng Qianyue had originally been filled with rage when he came to find her, but now that her expression, which had always been indifferent, had angered him even more, he suddenly took a step forward and backed off against the wall like the moon.

Leng Mei stepped forward immediately and pulled out her weapon from her waist, but Ying Kong also pulled out his sword and placed it between her eyebrows. With a sneer on his face, why would she be afraid of an ordinary guard?

"All of you go down. This King wants to say a few words to Eldest Miss Lian." Feng Qianyue's gaze was still fixated on Lian Rue from the beginning to the end; he was unwilling to relax even for a moment as he instructed with a deep voice.

Lian Ruyue looked at her cold eyebrows and nodded. Only then did they slowly put away their weapons and walk away together with Ying Kong.

"I wonder what Her Highness wants to tell me?" Lian Ruyue's face had a clear trace of impatience.

As for Feng Qianyue, he stared fixedly at this demon-like woman, his palm slowly bent. When Lian Yue looked at his sullen expression, he felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart, and as if she had suddenly realized something, she exclaimed, "I almost forgot to congratulate Fourth Highness for obtaining the precious freedom."

"Freedom?" Feng Qianyue ruthlessly chewed on these two words, and said. "Do you know what price I paid for these two words?"

"I don't know what price the 4th Prince paid for his freedom, but I know that since the 4th Prince is willing to pay this price, then it means that the 4th Prince also got what he wanted. Otherwise, the 4th Prince would never make this deal, am I right?" She understood Feng Qianyue too well, no matter what she did, she would definitely plot a thousand times, and only plan to be beneficial to herself.

"…" Feng Qianyue's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Sometimes, I have a strange feeling about you. You seem to be the person who understands me the most in this world, and yet, you are the person who hates me the most."

"Is that so? Your Highness has such a feeling? " Lian Ru Yue seemed to be very shocked.

"Lian Ruyue, stop fooling around with me. Tell me, what are you thinking in your heart?" "In my lifetime, from the moment I lived together with the palace maids and eunuchs, I have endured all kinds of humiliation and have finally become a prince, and now, I have become a duke. I have seen countless different kinds of people, I have unearthed their secrets, I have used their weaknesses, but there is no one like you that I can't figure out. I have never known what kind of person you are, I can't see your heart.

Every time you've done so, you've shown no hesitation to the people who have offended you, even your aunt, Zhao Yi, who is closely related to your family, but you can still show mercy to the empress for the sake of my eleventh sister.

You are the most vicious person, but you are also the most soft-hearted.

I realised that when I was in the dungeon, I wasn't thinking about how to regain royal father's trust, but rather, I was thinking about you. The moment I closed my eyes, that beautiful and cold-blooded face of yours appeared in front of me.

So, tell me, Lian Ruyue, who exactly are you? "

His tone slowly became softer. That scorching aura lingered around Lian Ruyue, causing the surrounding temperature to become somewhat tense.

Lian Ru Yue gradually raised her eyelids and looked him in the eye. "I don't know who I am either. I've never thought about this before. I'll do whatever I feel like doing."

"Haha …" He raised his hands and placed them beside Lian Ru Yue as he said, "Since you are unwilling to reveal any of your thoughts to me, you will always be on guard against me. Then, don't blame me!"

Suddenly, Feng Qianyue's gaze sank as he grabbed Lian Ru Yue and leaped onto the horse at the side. He held her tightly by his side before urging it to leave.

"Let me go!" Lian Ruyue ordered in a cold voice and tried to break free several times.

"I won't let go until I can't find the answer!" Feng Qianyue's voice came from the wind.

"Eldest Miss!" Upon seeing this, Leng Mei chased after him, but was stopped by Ying Kong. She immediately drew her sword and looked at Ying Kong. For a guard who was trained normally, although he had high martial arts skills, he was obviously not as good as Leng Mei!

Seeing that Feng Qianyue's horse had run far away, and Ying Kong had once again entangled her, she spun around, caught a gap, and threw out the concealed weapon in her sleeve towards Feng Qianyue without hesitation.

She only had one goal in mind — to protect the young miss! This was an order from the Ninth Prince, so even if the other party was a prince, she would not hesitate to use a sharp weapon against him.

"Your Highness, dodge!" Ying Kong shouted.

With a "pu" sound, even though Feng Qianyue heard Ying Kong's words and leaned to the side, a piece of the concealed weapon still pierced into his shoulder blade. With a muffled grunt, Feng Qianyue's body suddenly swayed, but he still had no intention of stopping.

Just as she was about to use her hidden weapon for the second time, Ying Kong had already rushed forward. He blocked her in front of her and took out his sword to fight her head-on.

Her cold eyebrows narrowed. No way, he had to get rid of this person as soon as possible!

She no longer thought about her eldest miss and focused all of her power on using her highest level martial arts to quickly defeat her winning opponent. In the end, she stabbed him and when he fell to the ground, she immediately split up into a dark horse and ran in the direction in which Feng Qianyue had just kidnapped her.

Earlier, she had injured Feng Qianyue, and the air was still filled with the scent of his blood. She had followed the direction, and even sent out a distress signal into the air.

This signal can be retrieved by the night wind!

I just want him to arrive in time!

It was obvious that the maid did not give him the slightest leeway. If it wasn't for Feng Qianyue's reminder, he probably would have died under her hidden weapon!

As expected of Lian Ruyue's maid!

When he finally tightened his grip on the horse's belly, the horse slowed down, and he gritted his teeth and slid off the horse's back. He lifted his hand to his shoulder blades and saw that his palm was stained with blood.
