Lin Yixiang came to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, which gave Lu Yuanzheng a headache and made Lu Zhiqing's heart flutter.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao sent the washed and dried clothes to Lu Zhiqing, and happened to meet Lu Yuanzheng on the way. Lu Yuanzheng looked at the clothes in Lu Zhiyao's arms, frowned and asked, "Is this going to arrive?"
Where to go?"
"The clothes I washed for my sister a few days ago are now being sent to her."
"Qing'er's?"
"Yes." Lu Zhiyao nodded, and seeing Lu Yuanzheng opening his mouth but wanting to say something but never saying it, she smiled slightly. "Father, don't worry about your daughter."
Lu Zhiyao's words surprised Lu Yuanzheng, and what Lu Zhiyao said next made Lu Yuanzheng's heart suddenly lift into the air.
"My daughter doesn't seem happy to see her father these days. Is there something troubling her?"
"What do you know?" Lu Yuanzheng asked reflexively. He was caught off guard by Lu Zhiyao's uncharacteristic behavior.
"My daughter just always frowns when she sees her father, so she just made a random guess. I don't know anything else." Lu Zhiyao bit his lower lip hesitantly, and then continued: "Is your father worried because of the seventh prince?"
"Is this... your guess?" Lu Yuanzheng's eyes flashed, he looked around cautiously, and asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice. After receiving Lu Zhiyao's affirmative answer, Lu Yuanzheng took a deep breath and said, "Follow me.
I’ll come to the study!”
Lu Zhiyao followed Lu Yuanzheng to the study. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Yuanzheng closing the door with a slightly nervous expression, and then staring at him intently.
"Dad, what's wrong...?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly.
"What do you know? Who did you listen to about the seventh prince?" Lu Yuanzheng looked into Lu Zhiyao's eyes with a serious expression, wanting to tell whether she was lying.
"My daughter guessed it herself, because when the seventh prince and the prince came to the house last time, dad's face was not very good. I was present that time. Don't you remember that dad? And this time it was also the seventh prince who came to our house.
After that, the father started to sigh. The daughter just said it casually. If the father is unhappy, the daughter will never mention it again in the future!"
Lu Yuanzheng thought carefully about Lu Zhiyao's words. Wasn't the time when the prince and the seventh prince came to the house the day Lin Rong died?
"Go on, what else did you guess?" Lu Yuanzheng suddenly spoke again after being silent, making Lu Zhiyao's expression become very embarrassed.
"There's nothing more to say." Lu Zhiyao's eyes flickered and he looked down at his shoes uncomfortably. After hearing Lu Yuanzheng growl, "You're lying!", Lu Zhiyao looked up at him in horror,
He slowly said: "My daughter stays in her room all day, and there is no one to talk to to relieve her boredom, so she can only think about the things she can see and hear. The seventh prince has never taken the initiative to come to our house before.
When he went to the Three Treasures Hall, he suddenly came to see his father one after another. He must have something to do, or in other words, he wanted something from his father. He was upset because he didn't want to agree. If he was even a little bit wavering, he probably wouldn't have it all day long.
So sad."
"Come here! Lock her up!" After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng's expression suddenly changed. He shouted to the servant outside the door, Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao sharply and said to that person
: "No one can see her without my permission!"
"Master, where will I be imprisoned? Or in the woodshed?"
"Yes, it's the woodshed!"
Lu Yuanzheng's face changed so quickly that Lu Zhiyao could only sigh in his heart that he was going to suffer again. "Dad, what should I do with my sister's clothes?"
"Put it here! Get out!" Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly locked up Lu Zhiyao. No one else should know about what happened between him and the Seventh Prince, but Lu Zhiyao had already guessed something, which made Lu Zhiyao
Yuanzheng had to wonder if she heard someone say something.
Just as Lu Zhiyao said, Lin Yixiang went to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. He came to him recently with the intention of joining the prince's faction and supporting and assisting the prince to become the emperor. However, Lu Yuanzheng was deeply unwilling.
The prince is too shrewd and ruthless in his actions. The reason why many ministers in the court have not supported him is because they are afraid that he will become a tyrant after he ascends the throne. Fortunately, the current emperor is still in good health and has not yet handed over the throne.
Therefore, the ministers never raised anything with the emperor face to face. But Lu Yuanzheng knew that this secret fight had never stopped.
The prince's former confidant, General Xia, died tragically in the massacre city. Outsiders said that he deserved to die because he colluded with foreign countries and attempted to rebel against the country, but who could tell what the actual reason was? Lu Yuanzheng was very afraid that he would become a subordinate.
Xia Zhenkun became the next chess piece to be discarded after being used up...
Lu Zhiyao was imprisoned again without warning. Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong were naturally very happy when this news reached their ears. But besides being happy, they still wanted to know what Lu Zhiyao had committed.
Incorrect.
Lu Yuanzheng sent Lu Zhiqing's clothes over. Lu Zhiqing looked at Lu Yuanzheng's cold gaze and smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything. Ye Lianrong also knew that she had asked Lu Zhiyao to wash her clothes, so she did not dare to say anything more at this time.
say what.
"There is no maid around, right? Or is it that the current maid can't do laundry and needs to be replaced?" Lu Yuanzheng spoke in a low voice and asked coldly. Lu Zhiqing was fine, but Yuechan on the side was frightened.
"Dad, I won't do it anymore." Lu Zhiqing lowered his head reluctantly and said, and only raised his head after Lu Yuanzheng left the room.
Late at night, Lu Zhiyao sat on the cold ground, staring at the moon outside the window in a daze. She didn't know when Lu Yuanzheng would wait until he let herself out this time. If she had to starve for three days like last time, she would be in big trouble.
Just when Lu Zhiyao sighed, she suddenly saw a black shadow passing through the sky. She stood up from the ground alertly. Lu Zhiyao watched the figure disappear quickly like a ghost, and she clenched her fists hard.
Who could he be if his Qinggong is so good?! What's the matter with coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion so late?!
Lu Zhiyao thought about it until Lu Yuanzheng suddenly appeared. The door was opened. Lu Zhiyao tilted his head and looked at Lu Yuanzheng unexpectedly, and called in a low voice: "Dad..."
"Are you sure you didn't hear what someone said about what happened today?" Lu Yuanzheng got straight to the point and asked directly without saying any other nonsense.
"Dad, do you think anyone in our family would be willing to say those words to me? And who has the courage to talk about the seventh prince and the prince in secret?" Lu Zhiyao heard what Lu Yuanzheng said, and he had an idea in his mind. Look.
Come, he came to test himself.
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao with mixed emotions. It seemed that he hadn't looked at her so carefully for a long time. After standing for a while, Lu Yuanzheng turned and left. Lu Zhiyao watched the door being locked again, curled his lips, and sat down again.
Returned to the ground.
It seems that the dignified Prime Minister is also starting to get anxious.
"Why are you locked up again?"
A strange voice sounded in Lu Zhiyao's ears, which made her face change in shock and she stood up suddenly. After looking around, she found that the speaker was standing outside the window, piercing the window paper and staring at her.
"Who are you?!" Lu Zhiyao took two steps back. He didn't even notice when he appeared. This shows that his martial arts are very high.
Lu Zhiyao's question did not get an answer from the man, and he looked at each other for a moment. Lu Zhiyao finally felt annoyed when the other person chuckled.
The man came and went in a hurry, and his face was covered, making it impossible for Lu Zhiyao to guess his identity. Is he the figure he saw before? Is he from Lin Yixiang? Did he listen to what he and Lu Yuanzheng said?
arrive?
Lu Zhiyao felt uneasily that the Prime Minister's Mansion was no longer as peaceful as it seemed. If Lu Yuanzheng continued to disagree with Lin Yixiang's proposal, he might be in trouble soon.

"Master, I heard that the Seventh Prince went to find Lu Yuanzheng again." Ling Yi looked at Lin Yinan, who was lying on the bench and closing his eyes, and said with some worry.
"What's all the fuss about? As long as Lu Yuanzheng doesn't let go, there's nothing he can do. Unless he kills Lu Yuanzheng and makes his confidant the prime minister. But do you think this is possible?" Lin Yinan slowly opened his eyes.
, sat up and drank the medicine placed on the tea table. "Even if Lu Yuanzheng agrees, it doesn't matter."
"But if Lu Yuanzheng really helped the prince, then..."
"I said, I'm not interested in the throne. If Lin Yichen wants to do it, let him do it." A sneer appeared on Lin Yinan's pale face. "Since ancient times, the emperor has been busy with everything, but in the end he often dies. Lin Yichen, he
I have wanted to be the emperor and sit on that throne since I was a child. You and I alone, and Lu Yuanzheng alone, cannot stop him. What’s more, there is a queen behind him."
"But Master, aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will be disadvantageous to us after he ascends the throne?" Ling Yi was not as calm as Lin Yinan, and he couldn't understand how Lin Yinan could be so calm and calm.
"If the man sitting on the throne hears these words, he will have to chop off your head. He won't die for a while, so Lin Yichen can't threaten us. Ling Yi, you have to remember that we should
Everything you do, other than that, has nothing to do with us.”
"I understand." Ling Yi nodded heavily and then left the room. He paused at the door of Lin Yinan's room. Ling Yi shook his head helplessly and strode away.
After Ling Yi left, Lin Yinan lay back on the bench. Looking through the book casually, Lin Yinan thought about what Ling Yi had just said, and suddenly remembered something.
Lin Yichen has wanted to be the emperor since he was a child, so what about Lin Yixiang? Isn't it the same!? Lin Yixiang is now by Lin Yichen's side. He said it was for revenge, but once he takes revenge, his next move will probably be...
