"Okay." Lin Yinan lowered his eyes to look at Lu Zhiyao, responded in a low voice, then slowly lowered his head, and in full view of everyone, placed a light kiss on Lu Zhiyao's brow.
Lu Zhiyao froze the moment he lowered his head and looked at Lin Yinan with wide eyes. When he heard him say "Be careful on the road," Lu Zhiyao just nodded and couldn't say anything.
This was the first time that he had done such a thing in front of so many people. Not only did Lu Zhiyao be surprised, but even Ling Yi, who had followed Lin Yinan for many years, did not expect it. Ling Yi looked at Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyuan in silence.
Yao, once again experienced personally how different Lu Zhiyao was towards his master.
Without saying too many words, Lu Zhiyao jumped on his horse and rode away. Lin Yinan stared at her and Ling Yi's retreating figures. When they could no longer be seen, he turned around with an indifferent expression and looked at Wan Yue and Ling Yi.
Yudie said: "You two also go pack your luggage, and I will take you to another place."
Wan Yue and Yu Die looked at each other. They didn't know what Lin Yinan meant, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they obeyed.
Lu Zhiyao's slightly warm cheeks felt a little better after the cool breeze blew by. He and Ling Yi walked non-stop. The two of them didn't talk much along the way, and spent most of their time on the road.
Ling Yi originally thought that it would probably take half a month for the two of them to go back. After all, Lu Zhiyao was a woman and the eighth princess, so it was inevitable to stop and go and rest for a few hours.
But Lu Zhiyao's performance along the way surprised Ling Yi. In just a few days, the two of them returned to the capital. During this period, Lu Zhiyao never once said a word of bitterness or tiredness, and he ate and drank the same as Ling Yi.
Same, no difference.
After entering the capital, the two did not go back directly to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. Instead, they quietly came to where Xia Han and others were and met with Zhan Yulong.
Zhan Yulong didn't expect that the two of them would come back early, thinking that Lin Yinan had also returned to the capital together. But after asking carefully, he realized that this was not the case.
Lu Zhiyao threw his luggage to Xia Han, and after saying a few words to her, he called Zhan Yulong into the room.
Zhan Yulong looked at Lu Zhiyao's serious expression and listened to Lu Zhiyao ask him if anything else had happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion during this period. He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "The Eighth Princess came back for the sake of the Prime Minister."
thing?"
"That's right." Lu Zhiyao did not hide the reason for his return, "Now that the Nangong family has taken action, they will never give up. During this time, I have to thank you and Lan Ruoling. If it weren't for you, I think
My father is already in the underworld."
Zhan Yulong also knew that the Nangong family was difficult to deal with, so he immediately told Lu Zhiyao everything he knew. After listening to Zhan Yulong's words, Lu Zhiyao sat there with a gloomy face for a long time, waved his hand, and asked Zhan Yulong to go out.
.
Lu Zhiyao held his forehead, thinking about a plan to deal with Nangong Nuo'er. So many days have passed since her first attack, and it was time for her to show up in person. Nangong Nuo'er's temperament is different from Nangong Nuo'er's.
Like Ling Feng, he was fiery and ruthless. If he continued like this, not to mention others, even she might not be able to bear it.
You can't let outsiders know about your return, otherwise it will implicate Lin Yinan. Lu Zhiyao thought for a long time, walked out of the room, and said to Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong who were standing in the yard: "When Miss Lan has time, take her with you."
Come over here, I need her help with something."
"Okay, I'll contact her right away." Zhan Yulong nodded, and it didn't take long to bring Lan Ruoling to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lan Ruoling's obviously slimmer figure and felt a little guilty. He explained what he meant to Lan Ruoling, and looking at Lan Ruoling's worried and hesitant expression, Lu Zhiyao promised: "I won't
If it doesn’t work, you will save your own life first, don’t worry.”
"But..." Lan Ruoling looked at Lu Zhiyao in embarrassment. How could she be a master who stayed up all night to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"There's nothing wrong with it. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to hold on for much longer. Just do as I say." Lu Zhiyao said to Lan Ruoling firmly: "From today on, when you come back from the Yamen
Then I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will ask Ling Yi to help me change my appearance, and it will pass."
Lu Zhiyao needed to know some of the current developments in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and also needed to personally understand what kind of tricks Nangong Nuo'er wanted to play. So she disguised herself as Lan Ruoling and stayed at the Prime Minister's office after dark instead of Lan Ruoling.
Near the mansion, and Lan Ruoling is a maid who has established the prime minister's mansion and lives in the prime minister's mansion. Once she really takes action, she can help Lu Zhiyao faster and more conveniently and save Lu Yuanzheng's life.
Lan Ruoling has to work in the Yamen during the day and protect Lu Yuanzheng's safety at night. Looking at her state, Lu Zhiyao knows that she won't be able to stand it any longer. And Lu Zhiyao thought, who knows this well?
I am definitely not the only one.
After Lan Ruoling thought about it again and again, she nodded. Since Lin Yinan is willing to let Lu Zhiyao come back, it means that he has given up and wants Lu Zhiyao to do everything she wants. In this case, then being a slave
The only thing left is to assist the master.
Lan Ruoling and Lu Zhiyao discussed it and left. Lu Zhiyao called Ling Yi again and learned some simple disguise techniques from him. He watched his appearance slowly change into Lan Ruoling's.
Lu Zhiyao murmured with a smile: "It's really interesting."
When the time scheduled with Lan Ruoling arrived, Lu Zhiyao and Zhan Yulong walked out of the house. They walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a swaggering manner. He looked at Lu Yuanzheng, whom he had not seen for some days, and saw Lu Yuanzheng's pale face in his eyes.
Even if you think about it, you can imagine how he came here these days.
Lu Zhiyao comforted Lu Yuanzheng in the name of Lan Ruoling, and then said that he wanted to take a look around the Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, Lu Yuanzheng didn't think much about it. Lan Ruoling saved his life and has been for so many days.
To protect his safety, after Lan Ruoling finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng asked Chu Hansheng to take her there.
Lu Zhiyao followed Chu Hansheng. When she walked to the courtyard where she once lived, she saw Lan Ruoling, who was already here. She and Lan Ruoling exchanged glances, and Lu Zhiyao stopped.
Stopping her steps, she met Chu Hansheng's gaze and said, "I want to say a few words to the slaves in this yard."
Chu Hansheng followed her gaze and saw that they were the servants who had served Lu Zhiyao. He smiled and said: "Miss Lan is really thoughtful and doesn't forget where the Eighth Imperial Concubine once lived. You talk, I'm here
Just wait.”
Chu Hansheng is getting better and better at talking and doing things, which makes Lu Zhiyao quite satisfied. Walking into the yard, Lu Zhiyao called over the servants who had worked under Ye Shengnan. He looked at them with puzzled faces.
With a puzzled expression, Lu Zhiyao spoke softly and said to them: "The Eighth Princess brought me news and asked me to tell you that as long as you cooperate with me to protect the Prime Minister, after she and the Eighth Prince return to Beijing, they will
I’ll take you to the Eighth Emperor’s Mansion.”
When Chen Ming and others heard this, they quickly nodded in agreement. There was an assassin who wanted to kill Lu Yuanzheng, and no one in the entire prime minister's mansion knew about it. They used to be members of the Ye family, but the Ye family is no longer good. Now
Their servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if the Prime Minister dies, then they probably won't have a good life in the future.
"What do you want us to do? Sir, tell me." Chen Ming nodded and bowed and said, "We will definitely do it!"
Lu Zhiyao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. These people didn't have much ability, but they were all smart. They couldn't be of much help. But they could still do it by shouting twice when the enemy came.
"Simple, you patrol the Prime Minister's courtyard at night, and if you find anyone suspicious, shout, I will come to save you. Remember, if the Prime Minister has any shortcomings, you will have no chance to enter the Eight Emperors Palace.
."
"I understand, sir. Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Seeing that Chen Ming was so confident, Lu Zhiyao couldn't say anything else, so he turned around and left, following Chu Hansheng to another place.
It was getting late. Lu Zhiyao, wearing the robe Zhan Yulong brought, stood in the corner and looked at the other courtyard where Lu Yuanzheng was.
"It's true that the first level of officialdom kills people." Lu Zhiyao frowned, looked at Zhan Yulong, and said with emotion: "Miss Lan is also a famous police officer, but she has to suffer such a crime to the prime minister.
Stay vigil, hey."
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly. Zhan Yulong looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he felt something was wrong.
"If the Prime Minister knew that the person protecting him outside now was you, the Eighth Princess, he would not even be able to sleep."
"So it's better not to tell him. If you scare the prime minister, he won't be able to assist the emperor. We can't bear this crime." Between the lines of Lu Zhiyao's words, there is no hint that she, as a daughter, wants to protect her.
His biological father. But Zhan Yulong understood some of the words, but he didn't dare to say them clearly. He could only stand by her side silently and accompany her through the long night.
After a night of fruitless results, Lu Zhiyao waited until Lu Yuanzheng went to court and Lan Ruoling appeared in front of her, so she went back with Zhan Yulong.
Lan Ruoling has not been able to close her eyes for many days. Although she did not sleep well last night, her energy has improved a lot. When she thinks that she has let the Eighth Princess suffer on her behalf while she sleeps in the house, Lan Ruoling
Ruo Ling couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Lu Zhiyao went back tiredly, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he took off the mask on his face. Xia Han stood at the door, waited for Lu Zhiyao to walk in, and then greeted him.
"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Lu Zhiyao walked up to Xia Han. Seeing that she had something to say, he took her into the room and asked, "What do you want to say? Just say it."
Xia Han looked at Lu Zhiyao hesitantly and hesitated for a long time before saying, "The Eighth Imperial Concubine is actually..."
"Stop calling me the Eighth Princess. Please call me sister from now on."
