Chapter 861 Lian Wang Mansion

There are very few people on the street. In the time it takes to walk for an incense stick, you can see two or three people at most.

Because it was late autumn, leaves were all over the ground and no one was cleaning them up.

Garbage is everywhere and no one cares.

When they passed by the Tantianfu government office, they saw two officers guarding outside, but the gate was tightly closed. The two officers looked nervous and kept looking up at the sky, trembling with fear at every glance.

In the past half month, the blood-red sky has changed again. The atmosphere seems to be lowering, giving people the illusion that they can touch the clouds with just a stretch of their hands. Of course, it is definitely impossible to reach, but the sky is really low, and it is so low that it makes people breathless. "It's the guards of the Lian Palace." Ye Feizhou pointed at the two guards at the gate of the Lian Palace and said, "It seems that the emperor has withdrawn his supervision of the Lian Palace, otherwise it would be impossible to be so lax and only leave two people."

Ye Wenyan pondered and said, "Guess why Emperor Guiyue withdrew his supervision over Prince Lian's Mansion? Did he not want to manage it anymore, or was there no need to manage it anymore? We have been in Guiyue for a few months, and we have not heard about Prince Lian's rebellion, let alone the royal family's siege of Prince Lian's Mansion. But I think that with Emperor Guiyue's character, it is impossible for him to give up voluntarily, unless Prince Lian hands over his military power. Or..." She paused, and then said, "Or, Emperor Guiyue no longer has the energy to manage this Prince Lian's Mansion."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and said to the two guards, "Go and tell them that an old friend has come from Northern Qi and wants to see Princess Zhaolian."

The two guards were stunned at first, then their faces lit up with joy, "But is it Miss Ye Er from Northern Qi?"

Ye Feizhou became alert, and Ye Wenyan asked, "Do you know me?"

The guard nodded, "I know. The princess tells us every day that if the fourth young lady of the Ye family comes to visit, we must invite her in quickly. We must invite her warmly and politely." But as he spoke, he became a little uncertain, "The princess said that the fourth young lady of the Ye family is a peerless beauty, but you... No, you are not the fourth young lady of the Ye family. Who are you?"

Ye Wenyan laughed and lowered his head to wipe off the disguise mask on his face, "How about this?"

The guard was stunned again, but soon laughed, "That's right, this is the Fourth Miss Ye that the princess mentioned. Fourth Miss, please come in, the princess has been talking about you every day."

Ye Wenyan wanted to go in, but Ye Feizhou pulled her back, shook his head slightly, and said silently with his lips: "Be careful, there is a trap."

Ye Wenyan tilted his head to look at the guard and asked directly, "I heard that the Lian Wang Mansion was surrounded by the emperor's guards. How come there is no guard now? Can we come and go freely here?" The guard immediately replied, "To answer the fourth lady, what you said happened several months ago. Since the sky turned red, the emperor's guards have withdrawn, and they no longer care about our Lian Wang Mansion." When he said this, he lowered his voice a little, "It is said that the emperor is dying, how can he care whether our prince rebels or not."

"Is the emperor dying?" Ye Wenyan didn't expect Gui Yue to be in such a condition. Is this true?

At this time, a familiar voice came from inside the mansion gate: "Don't doubt it, he is really dying."

Ye Wenyan looked up and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Feng Zhaolian.

Ye Feizhou finally relaxed his vigilance and no longer stopped Ye Wenyan from walking in.

When old friends meet again, they miss each other. Even the prince and the princess came out to greet them personally, and they knelt down without saying a word when they saw Ye Wenyan.

Ye Wenyan quickly helped the man up, "What do you mean?"

The couple answered as a matter of course: "The Emperor and Empress have arrived, and we should kneel to welcome them."

Only then did Ye Wenyan realize that the news of her becoming the future empress was not only spread in Northern Qi, but Guiyue had also received the news.

She said to Prince Lian and the Princess, "You two don't have to be so polite. I'm close to Feng Zhaolian, so we're family." She pulled Ye Feizhou, who had already removed his disguise, over to introduce him to them. The couple were impressed by Ye Feizhou's appearance. The Princess even said, "If it weren't for the Fourth Prince, this guy would be a perfect match for our Lian'er!"

Feng Zhaolian laughed loudly, "If I follow this young man, we won't even need the emperor's personal soldiers to surround the palace, and the Third Prince of Northern Qi will immediately lead his troops to attack Guiyue. Okay, mother, let's go inside and talk."

Ye Wenyan's arrival brought a glimmer of hope to the Lian Palace, but it was not the hope for the Lian Palace to get out of trouble, but the hope for the world.

The eldest princess is a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She treats people kindly and even her eyes are gentle.

She has had a good relationship with her husband over the years and his love for Feng Zhaolian is visibly evident.

Lian Wang was the same. He carefully cared for this home, spoke softly to his wife and daughter, served Ye Wenyan Guiyue's good tea, and told Ye Wenyan to treat this place as his own home and just tell the servants if he needed anything.

Feng Zhaolian sat in the chair with a smile on her face, her legs crossed, looking very unladylike.

But no one cared about her at home. Her father just smiled and peeled fruit for her to eat, and her mother just... just looked at Ye Feizhou and said it was a pity from time to time. Ye Feizhou felt very embarrassed and her face turned red.

Feng Zhaolian said, "Mother, you look down on Quan Qinghua!"

The princess shook her head. "It's not that I don't like him, but he has been in Guiyue for many years. I've seen him so many times that I don't think he's new. But the second young master of the Ye family, I've never seen a man as handsome as him. It's a pity that I only have this one daughter, otherwise it would be nice for us to become relatives with the Ye family."

Feng Zhaolian emphasized again: "The Third Prince of Northern Qi will really kill our family."

The King asked seriously, "Is Benqi's Third Prince very powerful?"

Feng Zhaolian nodded, "Yes, he is very powerful. I heard that he led the Ye Family Army. The former Ye Family Army now listens to him."

"What does that have to do with Second Young Master Ye?"

"... Dad, you ask too many questions."

Ye Wenyan also had a question to ask: "Where is the Fourth Prince?"

Feng Zhaolian chuckled, "In the palace. After we returned to Tantian City, I went home and he went to the palace. I don't know what tricks he used, but my cousin actually believed his lies and believed that he would die soon. He also believed that all this was because he was not good to our family and wanted to calculate the military power in my father's hands. Ah Yan, this is really unacceptable. My father and mother have been trapped in the mansion for so long, and they have tried every means to get rid of the predicament, but Quan Qinghua unexpectedly turned the tide against the wind, and turned it so thoroughly.

Not only is there no personal guards besieging the palace now, but my cousin the emperor has sent people to apologize several times, and even gave some of his personal guards to my father, registering them under the name of the Lian Family Army.

What's even stranger is that he started to fall ill, and he has been bedridden ever since the sky turned red.

Ah Yan, this blood-red sky, do you know what's going on?"
