Lin Yinan's probing eyes gradually became sharper, making Lu Zhiyao feel like he had nowhere to escape. Uncomfortably, he took back the hand held by Lin Yinan, and Lu Zhiyao's breathing became a little cautious.
"No wonder you have to want to marry me. It turns out that this kind of calculation was made on me." Lin Yinan said something with a smile but not a smile. Although Lu Zhiyao felt uncomfortable after hearing it, he knew in his heart that he could not say anything. She
She had no position or qualification to say anything, because from the beginning, all she wanted to do was use Lin Yinan.
"If the Eighth Prince regrets it, he can go to the Emperor to annul the engagement." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and whispered slowly.
"Abandoned?" Lin Yinan was a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhiyao's proposal, "It took a lot of effort to get it, how can it be abandoned just because it was said to be done?"
Asked for...?
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan with a slightly stunned expression, wondering what he meant by his words.
Seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused expression, Lin Yinan moved his eyes slightly and stopped mentioning the matter. The two stood face to face. Regarding Lu Zhiyao in front of him, Lin Yinan had a feeling that if he didn't restrain her, she would get into trouble.
The feeling of getting into bigger trouble.
Lin Yinan couldn't be sure if what Lu Zhiyao said was true or false for a while. But whether she was Xia Yao or Lu Zhiyao, Lin Yinan couldn't deny that this girl was indeed a little smart and courageous enough.
Otherwise, the current situation would not have occurred. But...
Lin Yinan estimated the time and asked softly: "Do you know why the prince wanted to get rid of the Xia family?"
Lu Zhiyao did not expect that Lin Yinan would suddenly ask this question. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Lu Zhiyao replied coldly: "Is it because the Nangong family also wants the military power?"
"Then what's the deal with collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Lin Yinan shook his head and rejected Lu Zhiyao's guess. "The Nangong family is powerful enough even without the military power of the Xia family. General Xia died just because he knew
Things you shouldn’t know.”
"What's the matter?!" Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yinan did not answer Lu Zhiyao's question immediately. He turned his head and looked at his surroundings. Lin Yinan raised the corner of his mouth in a coquettish manner and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Jiang Wei will definitely send someone here to investigate. Let's go and let outsiders see you and me."
It’s hard to explain here.”
A lot of questions were stuck in Lu Zhiyao's throat and she couldn't ask them. She looked at Lin Yinan's somewhat complacent and deliberate look, gritted her teeth, said nothing, and followed him. When the two of them saw her coming,
After Liu Xisheng responded to them and was taken to the secret room by Liu Xisheng, Lu Zhiyao looked around nervously. After catching Lin Yinan's gaze, Lu Zhiyao walked to the corner and sat down, lowering his head in silence.
go.
Even she herself has not been in this secret room for a while. She originally pestered Xia Zhenkun when she was a child, saying that she had too many "treasures" and didn't want to be snatched away by her eldest brother and sister, so she asked him to build a treasure house for herself.
, but she didn’t expect that Xia Zhenkun actually agreed. Looking back on how unscrupulous she was at that time.
"Your young lady, can you play the piano?" Lin Yinan asked with interest after scanning the things in the room.
"Our young lady is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and playing the piano is of course not an issue." Qing Ling answered Lin Yinan's question with a hint of pride. She was still a little uncomfortable with Lin Yinan hiding here with them from Jiang Wei's pursuers.
They had never had the opportunity to get in close contact with the eighth prince before, and they didn't expect that the first time would be in this situation.
"He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Lin Yinan murmured again, and then glanced meaningfully over there, saying to himself not long ago that what Xia Yao knows, she can also know Lu Zhiyao. "By the way, since
Your Xia Mansion has such a secret room, why are only a few of you alive?" Lin Yinan suddenly changed the subject, and the people he asked did not respond immediately.
"No chance." After the silence, Bai Lixuan replied with a heavy tone. No one had expected such a disaster in advance. Moreover, at that time, all the enemies concentrated their forces around Xia Zhenkun and Xia Tian, leaving no room for them at all.
It was precisely because the other party wanted to kill these two people that they neglected Bai Lixuan and others, allowing them to survive. As for the madam and the second young lady, they were arrested directly from the capital.
Those who came here couldn't even get close to this room.
After hearing Bai Lixuan's answer, Lin Yinan asked again: "You failed to kill Jiang Wei this time and escaped this disaster. So next, you will still follow Jiang Wei back to Beijing and continue the action, right?"
Bai Lixuan and the others looked at each other. For someone like Lin Yinan who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, they shouldn't reveal their next plan. So they said something perfunctory, before they thought about it, but unexpectedly made Lin Yinan chuckle.
.
"Don't you want to go back to Beijing and see Xia Han?"
The word "Xia Han" that came out of Lin Yinan's mouth made Bai Lixuan and the other two people suddenly open their eyes in surprise. Lin Yinan looked at their disbelief, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao who looked confused over there, a little curious.
Why didn't she tell her about this? If these three people didn't know that Xia Han was still alive, what method did Lu Zhiyao use to make them trust her and allow her to act with them?
"It seems that Miss Lu hasn't told you yet that she saved Xia Han."
Lu Zhiyao met the gazes of several people and had no choice but to confess. "I'm afraid that Xia Han is in danger, and I'm also afraid that they, who only want revenge now, will go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion to ruin your good deeds."
They only want revenge, what about you?
Lin Yinan did not ask what he wanted to ask. Looking at the different expressions on the faces of the people around him, Lin Yinan sighed and said something that shocked them extremely.
"There are some things that I think I must let you know today. Otherwise, you will die in confusion like this. I am afraid that someone will blame me for failing to stop you in the future." When Lin Yinan spoke, his eyes seemed to be similar.
Nothing passed over Lu Zhiyao's face. "General Xia's death was no accident. Traitors like Jiang Wei must be eliminated, but not now. Bai Lixuan, Liu Xisheng, Qing Leng, you three, I know you are all General Xia
The beloved general around me, General Xia, is a hero of Xia Lai Kingdom, this is a fact that no one can deny. His death, not only you, I think many people will not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Including the Eighth Prince?"
When Lin Yinan heard this, the smile on his lips deepened. Lu Zhiyao looked at the gaze directed at him, his heart sank, but he looked at him stubbornly.
"What kind of answer do you want to hear from me?" Lin Yinan asked calmly, and his soft tone made Lu Zhiyao feel a little chill on his back.
"I came back to Xuncheng this time because of you." Lin Yinan didn't wait for Lu Zhiyao to speak, and continued: "I can't go back to the capital during this period, but I don't want you to attack Jiang Wei again. Now.
Even if I don’t tell you, you can all feel that the masters around Jiang Wei are not that easy to deal with. You are all people who have been on the battlefield with General Xia for many years. Can revenge be achieved overnight? If
If you are really in a hurry to die, then choose a place where no one is around, or... don't let her know. It also saves me having to rush back all the way, just in case I, an unexperienced woman like you, get into some big trouble with you.
."
Lin Yinan's eyes fell steadily on Lu Zhiyao, making Lu Zhiyao unable to escape even if he wanted to. Listening to his words, Lu Zhiyao always felt a little weird for some reason.
"Zhiyao, take them back to Beijing tomorrow and arrange for them to be placed in my residence."
Lin Yinan's decision made Lu Zhiyao and others look at him in unison. Does he know what he meant by this?
"Eighth Prince, the three of us are now desperadoes. If someone discovers that we are in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, then you..."
"Since you have such concerns, then stay in my house honestly and don't let anyone find out what you are doing. I will help you with Jiang Wei's matter after I return to Beijing. But during this period
Here, you'd better not cause any trouble for me. Especially you, Lu Zhiyao. You are the one who is most capable of causing trouble among all of us."
Lin Yinan's words of naming made Lu Zhiyao immediately lower his head. He cursed him secretly in his heart. Lu Zhiyao slowly began to wander as he listened to what Bai Lixuan and Lin Yinan said.
Why does Lin Yinan want to help? He also wants to deal with the prince. What is the reason? Is it the throne?
What Lin Yinan did made Lu Zhiyao once again suspect that he wanted to inherit the throne.
A few people spent the night in the secret room. When the sky got slightly brighter, Bai Lixuan and the others went out to explore the wind, leaving Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan behind.
"Eighth Prince."
Lin Yinan raised his eyes and looked over when he heard Lu Zhiyao's voice was hoarse from not having a rest all night. "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Thank you this time." If Lin Yinan hadn't taken action, Lu Zhiyao thought, it would have been really difficult for them to escape.
"Is a thank you enough to repay me?" Lin Yinan asked slowly, and finally when Lu Zhiyao frowned, he waved his hand and motioned for her to come to him.
Lu Zhiyao walked slowly to Lin Yinan. Seeing the bloodshot eyes caused by fatigue, Lu Zhiyao felt guilty in his heart.
"After I get back, I don't care how you want to mess with the Ye family. But Lin Yixiang, you can't touch him." Although Lin Yinan had warned several people before, he still had to explain some things clearly to Lu Zhiyao.
OK.
What Lu Zhiyao said to him last night, Lin Yinan is still between accepting and unacceptable, contradicting himself. No normal person would believe that kind of reason. But similarly, any ordinary person
A person who is not stupid will not use such ridiculous words as an excuse to deal with others.
