Lu Zhiyao was sitting under the tree, with a gloomy expression. Time passed quickly in her wild thoughts. By the time Lu Zhiyao came back to his senses, it was already very late.
With a sigh, Lu Zhiyao slowly stood up and patted the dust on his body. He smiled to himself and planned to go back.
I'm a little glad that I didn't really go to Lin Yinan impulsively. If I did, I couldn't explain it. Don't say that they are not married yet, even if they are married, what will happen? He is the eighth prince and will have three wives in the future.
The fourth concubine must be indispensable. Lu Zhiyao was a little angry, angry with himself for having such stupid ideas, and angry with himself for not correcting his position and forgetting the reason why she married Lin Yinan. The two of them were using each other.
Each other, so it is best not to interfere with each other in unnecessary matters.
Lu Zhiyao felt a little more relaxed after thinking this. He walked slowly towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone. Lu Zhiyao, a single woman walking alone at this time, was very noticeable. What's more, this is Hua Zhiyao.
Near Manlou. So when Mo Baiyan walked out with Lin Yinan, he quickly spotted her figure.
Lin Yinan looked at the familiar figure from behind and frowned slightly. Mo Baiyan looked at the person in front of him, then looked sideways at Lin Yinan and asked, "Why is she here?"
Lin Yinan shook his head speechlessly. The two of them stared at Lu Zhiyao intently and followed her until Lu Zhiyao discovered it belatedly and turned around to glare.
Lu Zhiyao stopped and looked at the two people behind him. The anger that he had finally suppressed showed vague signs of resurrecting.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Lin Yinan asked softly when he saw Lu Zhiyao staring at him with an unhappy expression.
"Isn't it the same for the Eighth Prince, who is wandering out in the middle of the night?" Lu Zhiyao curled his lips after listening to Lin Yinan's words, and said rather unhappily: "You're fine, don't care what I do."
As soon as Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, Mo Baiyan and Lin Yinan immediately sensed that something was wrong. Mo Baiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yinan meaningfully without speaking. Lin Yinan saw that Lu Zhiyao was about to turn around and continue.
After leaving, he had no choice but to say to Mo Baiyan: "You go back first, I will come back to you if anything happens."
Mo Baiyan passed by Lu Zhiyao with a smile on his lips. Lu Zhiyao glanced sideways at Lin Yinan over there. After hearing him say "come here", he turned around and left without thinking.
If Lu Zhiyao was so uncooperative, it would be unreasonable if there was no reason. So after Lin Yinan followed her for a short distance, he suddenly quickened his pace and caught up with Lu Zhiyao's pace.
Lu Zhiyao felt her hand being pulled back, and then she turned around involuntarily and saw Lin Yinan's face again. The faint smell of alcohol emanating from Lin Yinan made Lu Zhiyao frown in dissatisfaction.
He frowned. "Eighth Prince, it's getting late. It's time to go back and rest."
Lin Yinan seemed not to have heard Lu Zhiyao's words. He stared into Lu Zhiyao's eyes and asked softly, "When did you get here?"
"Just now." Lu Zhiyao answered Lin Yinan's question with a fake smile, "I couldn't sleep so I wanted to go out for a walk. Who knew I would run into the Eighth Prince? What a coincidence!?"
Lin Yinan couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Zhiyao's smiling expression. "Is it really a coincidence, or have you been here waiting to catch me since I entered?"
Although Lin Yinan didn't know why Lu Zhiyao appeared here, there had to be a reason for her being so abnormal. In Lin Yinan's eyes, Lu Zhiyao, although he was careful, most of the time, as long as it wasn't her
As an enemy, she would be straightforward in everything she said and did. It was rare for her to talk to others in such a weird tone. At least it was her first time with him. So after thinking about it, Lin Yinan could only think of herself.
"It's a coincidence. Eighth Prince, don't think too much. I have nothing to do and I'm waiting for you to do something." Lu Zhiyao was a little cautious and wanted to try to shake off Lin Yinan's hand. They were not too far away from Huamanlou, so there were still many people around.
There were many men and women chatting, laughing, and hugging each other. Under such circumstances, Lu Zhiyao always felt weird, awkward, and uncomfortable when Lin Yinan kept holding her hand.
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao intently for a while, making Lu Zhiyao look a little angry, and then let her go. "I'll take you back."
Lin Yinan's tone was light and elegant, which made Lu Zhiyao want to refuse, but the words were stuck in his throat. Walking beside Lin Yinan with his head lowered, every time Lu Zhiyao tried to stay away from him, he would
Lin Yinan stretched out his long arm and pulled him back. After a few times, Lu Zhiyao's good temper was almost gone. He turned his head suddenly, looked at him sharply, and said coldly, "Lin Yinan!"
"Here, there's no need to call me by my name." Lin Yinan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his eyes were filled with a smile that had been hidden for a long time. "Usually, the Eighth Prince is used to hearing you call me that, but suddenly you called me that.
, which actually makes me a little scared.”
"The Eighth Prince is really joking, are you afraid of me?" Lu Zhiyao snorted coldly, exposing Lin Yinan's lie.
"Who says I'm not afraid? How can I not be afraid of the future mistress of my Eighth Emperor's Palace?" Lin Yinan's two teasing words made Lu Zhiyao slowly clenched his fists. He stopped and looked at Lu Zhiyao,
He asked softly: "Did you see me entering Huamanlou?"
"I didn't see it." Lu Zhiyao shook his head reflexively, but it was obvious how credible her answer was.
Lin Yinan stared at Lu Zhiyao's slightly angry expression, wondering in his heart whether he should tell her the truth. But there were some things that he didn't want to involve her in. At least, not so soon.
There was silence all the way, and Lin Yinan finally got the answer after sending Lu Zhiyao near the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"There is no need to send the Eighth Prince away." Lu Zhiyao looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion, which he could clearly see, and politely thanked Lin Yinan. Before Lin Yinan could say anything else, Lu Zhiyao wanted to go back and rest early, but Lin Yinan didn't seem to intend to let him go.
She got her wish.
Lu Zhiyao took two steps and found that Lin Yinan didn't seem to want to leave. He turned to the small alley leading to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Zhiyao stood there and waited for a while, then carefully peeked to see if Lin Yinan had left. In the distance
After catching Lin Yinan's gaze from a distance, Lu Zhiyao quickly retracted her head, but she knew that Lin Yinan had discovered what she had just done.
After Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao acting like a thief, he returned to her side with a smile. Looking at Lu Zhiyao who had not had time to run away, Lin Yinan stood in front of her and asked, "I don't want to know where I'm going."
The reason why the building is full of flowers?”
Lin Yinan took the initiative to bring up this matter, which aroused Lu Zhiyao's curiosity again. What other reason could a man have for going to Huamanlou? If he wasn't going to drink with beauties and have fun, could it be that he should go there to recite poems and write poems? But
Lin Yinan asked her this again. Lu Zhiyao wanted to have the guts to reply to him, "No," but she also knew that if she didn't listen to what Lin Yinan might say next, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep that night.
.
Lu Zhiyao's tangled look flashed into Lin Yinan's eyes. Lin Yinan didn't want to embarrass her anymore, so he spoke and said, "Do you still remember the woman you saw in my room that day?"
Lin Yinan didn't say anything good, but he mentioned his beautiful woman in a golden house again. Lu Zhiyao's heart sank, he looked at him and nodded, saying: "I know, she is the Eighth Prince's sweetheart."
The word sweetheart made the smile in Lin Yinan's eyes thicker. "Today I went to Huamanlou with Mo Baiyan to find her."
Lin Yinan's words made Lu Zhiyao take a breath. It turned out that the eighth prince secretly liked a brothel girl. No wonder he didn't dare to blatantly marry her into the family, but he wanted to use himself as a shield.
"Eighth Prince, I don't know whether I should say something or not, but after thinking about it, I still have to persuade you..." Lu Zhiyao hesitated and spoke: "Don't worry about this, I won't tell anyone.
But if the emperor or outsiders know that you like a girl like Hua Man Lou, then things will probably get into trouble."
"Who told you that the person I love is Qu Wan'er?" A cold light flashed in Lin Yinan's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Zhiyao was pressed against the wall.
Lu Zhiyao didn't expect that his words would make Lin Yinan angry, and his mind was so surprised that he couldn't turn around for a moment. He didn't like that girl, was there anyone else he hadn't seen yet?
Lu Zhiyao's confused expression made Lin Yinan feel helpless. "Qu Wan'er is from Feihe Tower. I accompanied Mo Baiyan to find her today to get her back as soon as possible."
The truth that came out of Lin Yinan's mouth was a bit unacceptable to Lu Zhiyao. "That beauty is a killer?"
"The number one killer in Feihe Tower that is said outside is her Qu Wan'er." Lin Yinan said to Lu Zhiyao casually, gently rubbing the corners of Lu Zhiyao's lips with his fingers, "I really don't know what is going on in your mind.
What, it turns out that everything I do is so inconspicuous in your eyes."
Lin Yinan murmured feebly, and Lu Zhiyao looked at him nervously. When he saw Lin Yinan staring into his eyes with twinkling eyes, and slowly leaning towards him, Lu Zhiyao's breathing stopped for a moment.
"Eighth Prince..." Lu Zhiyao felt that the air around him was slowly getting hotter. He moved his body uncomfortably, which made Lin Yinan squeeze even tighter. In desperation, she could only scream
He reminded him: "You drank too much."
"Drink too much?" Lin Yinan responded softly to Lu Zhiyao, holding Lu Zhiyao's restless hand that wanted to push him away, and said leisurely: "Since I am a gentleman, I can't let you see my thoughts, then
It’s okay to be a bad person in front of you. It saves you from always saying that I pretend to be another woman in my heart."
