Lu Zhiyao's dark eyes flashed with fear, and he wanted to move a few steps to the side uncomfortably, but Lin Yinan refused to let her do so. Warm hands climbed up to Lu Zhiyao's waist, stopping Lu Zhiyao from doing so.
Lu Zhiyao's actions and Lin Yinan's slightly raised lips made Lu Zhiyao indifferent. As soon as he raised his eyes, he could see himself in Lin Yinan's eyes. His breath was only a few feet away. Lin Yinan whispered to her in an intimate manner,
For the first time, Lu Zhiyao felt that it took courage to talk to him at close range.
Not surprisingly, their actions were noticed by Lu Yuanzheng and Lin Yixiang who were walking over. Lu Zhiyao just wanted to put some distance between him and Lin Yinan. After she came to her senses, Lin Yixiang and Ye Lianrong
, already standing in front of her.
Lin Yinan slowly retracted his hand, stood beside Lu Zhiyao, glanced at Ye Lianrong lightly, and then looked at Lin Yixiang.
"Eighth brother looks good. It seems that there is a reason why you returned to Beijing early this time." Lin Yixiang looked at Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao with a meaningful smile, his mind still stuck on the surprise that Lin Yinan had just brought him.
He and Lin Yinan grew up together, and it was the first time that Lin Yixiang saw Lin Yinan being so close to a woman. This made Lin Yixiang worried about how Lin Yinan would react if he knew about it.
"When you are in a good mood, you naturally look good, but Qi Brother, why don't you seem to have had a good rest?" Lin Yinan asked knowingly, causing Lin Yixiang and Ye Lianrong to look a little strange, and then he said leisurely: "But it's right to think about it.
How can I be a popular person next to the prince and live a life of idleness and leisure like me every day?"
The conversation between Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang didn't sound like two brothers chatting to outsiders. Everyone present had their own thoughts. Lu Zhiyao was wandering and thinking about what Lin Yinan meant when he just said he wanted to help her.
Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong, on the other hand, each have their own worries and fears.
"When you come back this time, do you still plan to leave?"
"Let's go, but we have to wait for a while and finish some things before going back."
Lin Yinan's answer aroused everyone's curiosity. What exactly did he mean? Every time Lin Yinan left the capital, he was escorted by someone personally arranged by the emperor. After all this trouble, did the emperor have no objections?
"Is it possible that my eighth brother came back because of Qi Yao?" Lin Yixiang asked jokingly, but Lin Yinan did not deny it.
Lin Yinan smiled and said nothing. He did not want to answer Lin Yixiang's intention, but he also had no intention of avoiding it. Lu Zhiyao accepted the gazes from Lin Yixiang and others a little innocently, and secretly murmured in his heart, this eighth prince is really over the top.
I like to make fun of her more and more.
"Prime Minister, my eighth brother and I have something to say, please step aside first."
Lin Yixiang's words made Lu Yuanzheng sigh in relief. He nodded and took Ye Lianrong to leave. But before he took a few steps, he heard Lin Yinan's voice from behind.
"Second Madam, stay here. I still have something to say to you."
Lin Yinan asked Ye Lianrong to stay by name. Ye Lianrong stopped suddenly, her heart sank, and reluctantly turned to look at Lin Yinan. Lu Yuanzheng also turned his head and frowned to look at Lin Yinan, wondering what he meant.
Lin Yinan smiled lightly, looked at Ye Lianrong's nervous expression and said, "I heard that Zhi Yao was not feeling well a few days ago. The second lady specially invited Dr. Su to come to the house to take her pulse and diagnose her. I wonder if Dr. Su can do it?"
You see, what's wrong with Zhiyao?"
Lin Yinan took the initiative to bring up this matter, which Lu Zhiyao had never thought of. How did he know about this matter?
"It's nothing serious." Ye Lianrong answered Lin Yinan's question stiffly.
"Really?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked in disbelief: "Then why did Prince Mu come to me yesterday and say that he heard some bad rumors about Zhiyao from the people at the Imperial Medical Hall?
Does the Second Madam know what is going on?"
Although Lin Yinan's voice was not loud, it had an aura that could not be ignored or resisted. The expressions of Ye Lianrong and others, including Lin Yixiang, suddenly changed. Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly turned around and walked to Lin Yinan, saying with an apologetic smile: "Eighth Prince
, you may have misunderstood some things."
"I also know that some rumors cannot be believed, so I came to the Second Madam today to ask for clarification. I have already met Dr. Su, and he also told me some things. I want to hear what the Second Madam said."
"Eighth brother, does the emperor also know about this?"
The smile on Lin Yinan's face completely disappeared. He didn't even look at Lin Yixiang or answer Lin Yixiang's questions. He just stared at Ye Lianrong quietly, making Ye Lianrong feel more and more guilty, and finally felt like she wanted to break the jar.
Lu Yuanzheng has been the prime minister for so many years, and he has never been as embarrassed as he is now. Standing there with a gloomy face, he finally couldn't help but speak and said loudly: "Didn't you hear what the Eighth Prince asked you?"
Ye Lianrong was stunned by Lu Yuanzheng's roar, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao with resentful eyes. Lu Zhiyao was standing next to Lin Yinan. When things developed to this point, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Lin Yinan wanted to help.
His. But...
Lin Yinan turned his head and met Lu Zhiyao's eyes. "Second Madam, if you don't want to tell me, tell me what's going on."
In this situation, what Lu Zhiyao should do most is to complain to her father and the two princes with tears in her eyes. In normal times, Lu Zhiyao thought that she would definitely get into the mood and act vividly. But now, Lin Yinan Station
In front of her, Lu Zhiyao accompanied her in this scene solemnly. For some reason, Lu Zhiyao didn't even feel like crying, which made her feel very annoyed.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan, then at Ye Lianrong over there, and finally lowered his eyes weakly, biting his lower lip. He was trying hard to brew his emotions, and Lu Zhiyao was thinking about whether he should think of something to do.
When she cried, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist!
Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao stood side by side. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's extremely entangled look, Lin Yinan quietly touched Lu Zhiyao's waist with his left hand.
Lu Zhiyao took a breath and was pinched by Lin Yinan. His eyes immediately turned red. He opened his eyes wide and looked. When Lu Zhiyao saw the expression on Lin Yinan's face that looked like a smile but not a smile, she gritted her teeth.
This account was recorded for him.
Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward and walked a little farther away from Lin Yinan. Looking at a few people with tears in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao said aggrievedly: "I thought that those rumors would slowly disappear after a while.
But I didn’t expect that the commotion got louder and louder, and even Prince Mu knew about it. The seventh and eighth princes, Zhi Yao, consider themselves to be upright and upright, so I ask you to make the decision for me about this matter, and I must get to the bottom of it!"
When Ye Lianrong heard Lu Zhiyao's words, she felt that she had a strong tendency to want the evildoer to complain first, so she quickly knelt down and said, "I also have something to say."
Lin Yinan's behavior made people suspect that he wanted to break up with the prince's faction. Otherwise, such scandals could have been solved behind the back of outsiders and solved privately by Lin Yixiang. But now he is facing Lu Yuanzheng, an outsider.
, just wanted to clarify the matter, which even Lin Yixiang had not expected. As a member of the prince's faction, Ye Lianrong also knew clearly at this time what she should and should not say. At this time, she absolutely could not
After tearing Lin Yixiang out, as for Lu Zhiyao's pregnancy, he could tell it first. First, he could prove that what he said was not a lie. Second, he could blame the matter on Su Changfei, saying that he was the one who told the story.
Out.
"I came to see Su Changfei because I really just wanted to show Zhiyao her health. She couldn't eat at all these days, and her complexion was not as good as before. My husband and I were very worried about her, so I asked me
Brother, we called for Dr. Su, who had treated my father before. But the truth of the matter surprised all of us."
"Go on, why are you so surprised?" Lin Yinan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly.
"Eighth brother, let's talk about this when we go back!" Lin Yixiang couldn't help but interjected, frowning and saying.
"She's not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Lin Yinan asked Lin Yixiang as Lu Zhiyao, who was kneeling there and still working hard on his acting, cast aside his eyes. The cunning light that flashed across Lu Zhiyao's eyes inadvertently also made Lin Yinan feel more confident.
, I acted out this scene with her completely with the mentality of watching the fun.
"I, I don't dare to say it." Ye Lianrong shook her head. The words that Lu Zhiyao was pregnant were stuck in her throat, making her extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to tell everything without any scruples and let her know.
This damn girl will never have a chance to go against her again. But she is even more afraid that once she tells everything, even if Lu Zhiyao is ruined in the future, Lu Yuanzheng will not treat her the same as before. This kind of contradiction
Her mood kept torturing Ye Lianrong. Finally, under Lin Yinan's anger, Ye Lianrong gritted her teeth and said.
"This child Zhiyao is so ignorant. It's a shame that her father and I still believed in her so much and didn't believe the rumors outside!" Ye Lianrong looked at Lu Zhiyao with an expression as if she had been deceived, "
Dr. Su said that day that Zhiyao's various behaviors were all because she had a happy pulse. I was frightened at the time, but who was Dr. Su? How could he be wrong? So I had to take money to kill him first.
He sent him away and repeatedly told him not to talk about this matter to outsiders. He didn't want to, but he still spread the word regardless of life and death. Seventh and eighth princes, please remember that our master has worked hard to serve the court these years.
For the sake of mercy, please forgive me this time!"
Lu Yuanzheng was so frightened by Ye Lianrong's words that chills ran down his back. He said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. Zhiyao hasn't left the cabinet yet. How could there be any talk about Ximai!"
