"Angry?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Lu Zhiyao, "Why should I be angry? Just because of Nangong Nuo'er's words?"
Lin Yinan saw clearly, and Lu Zhiyao had nothing to say. But she felt that if Lin Yinan continued to be like this, not only the Nangong family, but also Lin Yixiang might ride on his head.
Lu Zhiyao did not intend to hide what she was thinking, so she directly told Lin Yinan what she was thinking at this moment.
"Everyone knows that you and Lin Yixiang are brothers, and everyone knows that you two are not in the same boat. Nangong Nuoer deliberately made things difficult for me today, not because of who I am, but because I married you. She only
It's just a start for the Nangong family. After Nangong Lingfeng comes back, more things will happen to you. If they compare you with the prince, you don't care. If they compare you with Lin Yixiang, you have nothing to say.
Tigers are not harmful to people, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts. Aren't you afraid that one day, your brother the Seven Emperors will confront you with swords and swords, and bring the princess he married from the Nangong family, making you unsafe even as a prince?
"
Lu Zhiyao didn't like the Nangong family, especially Lin Yixiang. Although she knew that Lin Yinan had the strength to deal with them, she was more afraid that Lin Yinan would delay important events because of her brotherly relationship with Lin Yixiang.
"If that day comes, then I can only choose to protect myself and not care about anything else." Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao's serious expression in his eyes and knew that Lu Zhiyao told him this matter with a very serious attitude.
He also put down his careless attitude and gave her the answer she wanted. "He has his own way to go, and I have my life to live. Besides, Zhiyao, he has his own problems when he stays with the prince.
reasons."
Lin Yinan's words made a light flash in Lu Zhiyao's mind. Lu Zhiyao had also thought about this problem. Since Lin Yinan and Lin Yichen are both people who have high aspirations to inherit the throne, wouldn't it be better for Lin Yixiang to choose to side with his own brother?
Going to the prince's side will arouse suspicion, and the queen may not really take him seriously. Everyone in the Nangong family is also a snob. Could it be that... Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang are colluding? They are secretly still
What's the plan?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but change his gaze towards Lin Yinan. Looking at Lin Yinan warily, she slowly took a step back, opening some distance between herself and Lin Yinan, which made Lin Yinan also stunned for a moment and asked
:"What's wrong?"
Lin Yinan could clearly see the chill and pain slowly coming out of Lu Zhiyao's eyes. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her, but the result was that Lu Zhiyao just escaped further.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan, and many scenes suddenly appeared in her mind. She recalled what Lin Yixiang said on the night she got married to Lin Yixiang when she was still Xia Yao.
He said that the Xia family owed him.
Lu Zhiyao always felt that what he said was just casual. It was impossible for everyone in the Xia family to do anything that owed him. But now he is thinking about the special status of Lin Yixiang and Lin Yinan's mother, and the
Could her death be related to the Xia family?
Lu Zhiyao knew very well what kind of person his father was. The Xia family had been generals in the court for generations. Xia Zhenkun devoted himself to serving the country and the people. He had been on the battlefield for so many years. How many times had he almost died when he came back to see her and her mother?
The fact that Xia Lai Kingdom was able to overthrow the previous dynasty today is inseparable from the desperate efforts of people like the Xia family. And Lin Yinan's mother was related to the previous dynasty. Why did she die? Is it related to the Xia family?
For a moment, Lu Zhiyao didn't dare to think about it anymore. If this was really the case, then the reason why Lin Yinan married him...
"Zhiyao?" Lin Yinan didn't want to look at Lu Zhiyao's eyes anymore, so he called her in a low voice and slowly walked towards her. Seeing Lu Zhiyao retreating step by step, with fear and uneasiness in his eyes, Lin Yinan quickly turned her away
Caught in front of her, he no longer gave her a chance to escape and asked: "What did you think of?"
"Let me go." Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan pretending to be calm and spoke, but Lin Yinan was controlling him with force and had no way to escape. Lu Zhiyao could feel the anxiety deep in his heart.
Lu Zhiyao's sudden change forced Lin Yinan to try to figure out her thoughts. Putting Lu Zhiyao in front of him, he frowned slightly and said softly: "It's so unclear how you look at me like this."
How could I be willing to let you go if I hate you?"
"Then let me ask you, are you and Lin Yixiang in the same group?!" Lu Zhiyao saw that he couldn't leave, so he stopped leaving. She and Lin Yinan looked at each other, and looked at Lin Yinan's slightly startled expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
He sank in. "Does the Xia family's matter have anything to do with you?"
"No." Lin Yinan did not hesitate and directly answered Lu Zhiyao's question. "However, I did know that they had this intention before they took action, and I did not stop them."
Lin Yinan's confession made Lu Zhiyao's mood very complicated. Not everyone could intervene in the Xia family's affairs, and not everyone could prevent the disaster. She didn't blame him if he didn't care at the beginning. Because at that time
He has nothing to do with the Xia family, so it's understandable that he doesn't want to get involved. But...
"Then why did Lin Yixiang say that my Xia family owed him something? Does your mother's death have anything to do with our family? Did you marry me for revenge or..."
Before Lu Zhiyao could finish the rest of his words, Lin Yinan blocked his mouth, leaving him only whimpering.
His kiss was as light as a feather, but it left Lu Zhiyao unable to continue talking. Standing in front of Lin Yinan, listening to Lin Yinan's sigh after leaving her lips, when Lu Zhiyao looked at him again, Lin Yinan had already
He returned to his usual appearance, and even had an unusual strength in him, as if the helpless sigh just now didn't exist.
"You have so many questions, let me think about which one I should answer first." Lin Yinan lowered his eyes and said thoughtfully, leaving Lu Zhiyao to look at him tensely, waiting to hear every word he said.
"My mother's death has nothing to do with your family." Lin Yinan was silent for a long time, and then said leisurely: "What Lin Yixiang did has nothing to do with us. He went to the prince because there was something he wanted.
, are you satisfied with my answer?"
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan in disbelief and asked, "You didn't lie to me?"
"No." Lin Yinan smiled and shook his head, "If I wanted to lie to you, why would I bother to try so hard to marry you back and lie to you again? I wanted to kill you and kill the Xia family, so why did I go to save Bai Lixuan and the others? You girl
, I’m really getting better and better at knocking people down.”
Lu Zhiyao also felt a little wronged under Lin Yinan's gaze. He bit his lower lip and pushed Lin Yinan away. Lu Zhiyao turned around and walked in front alone. Lin Yinan followed her, with eyes that Lu Zhiyao had never noticed.
Worry. There are some things that he still doesn't want her to know.
After returning to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao washed up obediently and climbed into bed. He faced the wall and listened to the sound of Lin Yinan walking over. After Lin Yinan turned off the lights and got into bed, he stretched out his long arms to embrace her.
After being held in his arms, Lu Zhiyao shouted dissatisfied: "You should go back to your room and sleep for two days!"
"No." Lin Yinan refused without thinking: "I am physically and mentally healthy, how could I be so stupid as to abandon a beautiful woman and go sleep in that old room by myself."
What Lin Yinan said was reasonable, but Lu Zhiyao could only protest in his heart. Fortunately, Lin Yinan didn't do anything wrong to her today, he just hugged her and fell asleep.
Lu Zhiyao got up early the next day. After watching Lin Yinan and Ling Yi go out, Lu Zhiyao and Wan Yue also walked out of the gate of the Eight Emperors Mansion.
"Madam, where are we going?" Wan Yue looked at Lu Zhiyao's profile curiously and asked. This was the first time Lu Zhiyao took her to go shopping on the street since they arrived at the Eight Emperors Mansion.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Wan Yue and slowly said something that surprised Wan Yue. "Go to Chu Mansion."
Arriving at the front door of the Chu family, Lu Zhiyao looked at the servant at the door, walked over and asked, "Is your young master at home?"
"Who are you?" The servant looked Lu Zhiyao up and down, and seeing that she was wearing decent things, he relaxed and said, "Our young master just came to the store, and he will be back in a while."
Not coming."
After Lu Zhiyao heard this, he didn't stay too long and went directly to the place where the servant told her to find Chu Ziqian.
When Chu Ziqian saw Lu Zhiyao and heard her saying that she had trouble with him, his first reaction was that trouble was coming.
Since returning to the capital, Chu Ziqian's happy and happy days are gone forever. He has to patrol the store and fiddle with the account books under the surveillance of the old man every day. He has thought about running away more than once, but then he thinks about himself
The mother who cried, made trouble, and hung herself finally stopped after thinking about other reasons.
"What good things can come from the Eighth Princess looking for me?" Chu Ziqian asked with a thief smile, "Let me tell you the benefits first, and then I will consider whether to help you."
Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian were sitting in the teahouse. Seeing Chu Ziqian's elegant behavior while drinking tea, Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and said: "There are no benefits, but if you don't help me, I will go find Lan Ruoling
, reveal your identity, and tell your parents what good things you have done in places they don’t know about, so as to make your Chu family more famous, what do you think?"
"You are threatening, be careful, I will report you to the official." Chu Ziqian choked, wiped the tea from his mouth in embarrassment, looked at Lu Zhiyao with a frown, and asked: "You want me to
What are you doing? Could it be that your eighth prince has fallen in love with a girl, and you are afraid that your position as imperial concubine will be in jeopardy, so you want me to deal with that girl? If this is the case, then I can help you."
"Can't you think of anything else in your head besides women!?" Lu Zhiyao asked Chu Ziqian feebly, and then said: "Don't worry, the person I asked you to find this time is not a woman, but a man."
