Lu Zhiyao's thoughts were focused on Jiang Wei. He didn't want to reach the sky in one step, but he couldn't waste too much time on him. Lu Zhiyao sat on the chair with a serious expression until Lan Ruoling appeared and said
I want to see her.
Because Lu Zhiyao had been touched by Lin Yinan twice recently, he was frightened when he mentioned people related to Lin Yinan. He nodded and asked Wan Yue to bring Lan Ruoling in. Lu Zhiyao watched her enter.
Wu frowned and stared at him, wondering: "What's wrong?"
"Master asked me to bring it to you if you have something to say." Lan Ruoling glanced at her and Wan Yue consciously left the room. When she and Lu Zhiyao were the only ones left in the room, Lan Ruoling lowered her voice and said: "
The Eighth Prince said that before getting married, he asked you not to have any ideas about Jiang Wei. He also said that he would help you get rid of this person."
Lan Ruoling's words made Lu Zhiyao's heart sink again and again. What was she thinking, how could Lin Yinan know so well? Also, what did he mean by helping her get rid of Jiang Wei?
"Did the Eighth Prince say anything else?" Lu Zhiyao was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"The Eighth Prince said, if you have anything else you want to ask, you might as well go to the house and ask him directly." Lan Ruoling conveyed Lin Yinan's words to Lu Zhiyao word for word, and saw that Lu Zhiyao's face really showed up.
Lin Yinan's expression was as expected. She honestly shut her mouth and didn't ask any more questions. Lan Ruoling smiled slightly and said, "I'll go back first if I have something else to do at the Yamen."
Lu Zhiyao sent Lan Ruoling away and thought about what Lan Ruoling had just said. Lin Yinan seemed to be afraid that she would forget that they still had a marriage contract, and reminded her all the time that she would soon marry to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion.
Lin Yinan had mentioned to Lu Zhiyao before that he still had some things to tell her about the Xia family, but he never said it. He couldn't figure out how Lin Yinan knew so much, but Lu Zhiyao was sure that,
There must be no reason for Lin Yinan to interfere in her affairs. This made Lu Zhiyao even more curious about what Lin Yinan wanted to do.
Lu Zhiyao speculated on Lin Yinan's thoughts. She was so focused that she didn't pay attention when she heard the door being pushed open. She just thought it was a maid coming in and out. However, when the man Yin Jianli stood in front of her
Afterwards, Lu Zhiyao's mind was confused for a moment.
What is he here for?
Yin Jianli watched Lu Zhiyao quickly stand up from the chair, and looked at him warily without saying anything. He said coldly: "The prince wants to see you, pick a time to come to Prince Mu's Mansion, remember, don't bring anyone with you
.”
After Yin Jianli finished his brief words, he disappeared happily. But the chill on his body remained in Lu Zhiyao's room.
Lin Mubai wants to see him? Didn't he just meet him a few days ago? He is not allowed to take anyone to Prince Mu's Mansion. Yin Jianli doesn't look like he walked in from the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a swagger. Prince Mu
This is because you don’t want others to know that you are meeting him. Why? Have you provoked him recently?
Yin Jianli did not tell Lu Zhiyao the specific time to go to Prince Mu's Mansion. In other words, she could go there at any time, and Lin Mubai was waiting in Prince Mu's Mansion. This kind of person knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but still has to go to the Tiger Mountain.
The feeling made Lu Zhiyao very uncomfortable. When she walked out of the room, she looked up at the bright sun and felt that she should go back to the house and take a nap. Only by replenishing her energy can she have the physical strength to face the enemy.
"Yudie." Lu Zhiyao stopped Yudie who was busy in the yard, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to call me after an hour. I have something to do, don't forget it."
"Okay, I understand." Yudie nodded, watched Lu Zhiyao enter the room, and then went back to what he was doing.
Lin Yinan was summoned into the palace by the emperor and stayed in the royal study for a long time. When he came out, the sky was already gray. Walking slowly in the palace, Lin Yinan did not expect to bump into Lin Yixiang by chance. Looking at Lin Yixiang
With a somewhat surprised expression, Lin Yinan smiled slightly.
Lin Yixiang looked at the direction Lin Yinan was walking in and asked in a low voice: "Father summoned?"
"Yeah." Lin Yinan didn't want to hide anything and answered him directly. "Ask me how my health is lately."
"I didn't expect that my father would care about you." Lin Yixiang said with a chuckle. Whether the strange tone was ridicule or pure envy, it was hard to tell for a while. "I want to go to the queen, so I won't see you off."
"By the way." Lin Yinan turned around and called to Lin Yixiang after he walked a few steps away. Facing Lin Yixiang's puzzled gaze, Lin Yinan asked surprisingly: "Do you still remember the first time you met Xia Yao?
What's your mood?"
Lin Yixiang didn't understand. Lin Yinan brought up Xia Yao and asked him what he meant by this question. But Lin Yinan looked at his confused expression and shrugged, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
Lin Yinan turned around and left. Within a quarter of an hour after returning to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, Ling Yi reported with a cold face: "Prince Mu's people want to see you."
"Please come in." Lin Yinan sat up straight, looked at the person who walked into the room, and smiled without saying a word.
Yin Jianli stood at the door and did not go any further. Looking at Lin Yinan from a distance, he said in a clear voice: "Prince Mu wants to see you."
"Now?"
"Yes." Yin Jianli lowered his eyes and added, "The eldest lady of the Lu family has also been invited."
Lin Yinan listened to Yin Jianli's words calmly. After Yin Jianli exited the room, he slowly stood up and walked outside the door.
"He has left." Ling Yi looked at Lin Yinan with a frown and asked, "Master, do you want me to go with you?"
"No need." Lin Yinan rejected Ling Yi's proposal, stood there with his hands folded, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "I may not come back when, you guys remember, never go to Prince Mu's Mansion.
Do you know?"
Ling Yi nodded reluctantly, watched Lin Yinan walk away, and sighed worriedly.
Lin Yinan thought about many possibilities on the way to Prince Mu's Mansion. After seeing Lin Mubai and Lu Zhiyao who were also in the house, Lin Yinan walked straight to Lin Mubai.
"Sit down." Lin Mubai spoke before Lin Yinan, pointed to the chair next to his left hand, and said.
The arrival of Lin Yinan made Lu Zhiyao, who had been interrogated by Lin Mubai for a while, feel that things were getting worse and worse.
Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan were sitting on the left and right of each other. Lin Mubai's cold eyes slowly moved between the two of them, and then he asked Lin Yinan a question. "Does the matter of the Ye family have something to do with you two?"
The Ye family's affairs have been causing quite a stir in the city, so it's not surprising that Lin Mubai would know about it. He summoned both Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan today, so he must have some evidence, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get straight to the point.
So he asked. So Lin Yinan listened to what he said and said without denying: "It has something to do with it."
"Then I'll ask you again, what's the use of those Xia family members hiding in your house?"
Lin Mubai's question made Lu Zhiyao stunned. He just kept questioning her about the Ye family, without mentioning Xia Han and the others at all. When did he discover this matter? She and her
What did Lin Yinan want to do when he came here?
Lin Mubai glanced at the subtle changes in Lu Zhiyao's expression and movements, and understood that she also knew about this matter. Originally, when something happened to the Ye family, Lin Mubai felt that something was strange. The Ye family's status has changed over the years.
He has always been very stable. He will never say that he will not be reused all of a sudden. So he asked his confidants to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, he found an even more surprising secret.
As if he had been caught red-handed after doing something bad, Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao with a headache, then looked at Lin Mubai and said, "It turns out that the emperor already knows."
"How long do you think you can keep this secret?!" Lin Mubai was slightly angry. He didn't know whether Lin Yinan had used him to do something secretly. He didn't want to get involved in the Xia family's affairs because it was very troublesome and complicated.
.What on earth was Lin Yinan thinking? Lin Mubai found that he was a little confused.
"Of course it's possible to hide it from others, but it's a little more difficult to hide it from the emperor's uncle." Lin Yinan flattered him, thinking about what he should say. His eyes fell on Lu Zhiyao, and Lin Yinan looked at him in embarrassment.
Lin Mubai asked: "Uncle, can you let her go out first?"
Lin Mubai glanced at Lu Zhiyao and asked Yin Jianli to take her out. Lu Zhiyao reluctantly left the room and stared at the door, eager to eavesdrop on what the two people in the room were saying.
What. But she didn't dare to do that with Yin Jianli by her side. Lin Yinan knew his identity clearly and knew that he cared a lot about everything in the Xia family, but he deliberately didn't let himself know. What secrets did he have?
?!
"What is the purpose of your early return to Beijing this time?" Lin Mubai continued to ask without waiting for Lin Yinan to answer him about the Xia family.
"I came back to marry Zhiyao. It has nothing to do with those people in my house." Lin Yinan answered Lin Mubai calmly. He met Lin Mubai's eyes and said, "I'll be honest with you, uncle.
I picked up Xia Han from the street. She was kidnapped by human traffickers and I happened to meet her. As for the other people, they all came to my house by chance. General Xia is a loyal minister, so I
Only then would he be willing to take this risk and hide them by his side."
"A loyal minister?" Lin Mubai smiled coldly, leaned back in his chair and looked at Lin Yinan, and said, "Don't tell me those high-sounding words. I'm not interested in what kind of person Xia Zhenkun is, and I don't believe you will be honest.
You went to save the Xia family for no reason. I just ask you, what is your purpose of keeping them? You dragged me into trouble before, but you already have a conspiracy to use me? "
"Your Majesty's words are serious. How dare I try to take your advice?"
"Don't you dare? Is there anything else you two don't dare to do?"
