Chapter 43 Didn't intend to serve the Eighth Prince?
"Is a thousand people really enough?" Nangong Nuo'er was still a little worried. She looked at Nangong Lingfeng uneasily. She clenched her fist and whispered: "Dad, we have to help the crown prince succeed to the throne this time.
, rather than other little things.”
"It's because it's the prince's matter, so it's not their turn for the people from the Qingming Kingdom to steal the limelight. They're just helping out, so No'er doesn't have to worry. Besides, this matter will have to wait for some time.
You'll start taking action after you get married happily, so daughter, what you should be thinking about now is not this, right? Your big day is only a few days away. Let's not run around in these few days.
How about you stay at home and stay well?"
Nangong Nuo'er's body froze as Nangong Lingfeng's words came out. Different from the strong force in the past, Nangong Nuo'er pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head, and said softly: "I'm going back to the house to rest."
Nangong Lingfeng smiled as he watched Nangong Nuoer walk out of his room, then returned to his usual calm demeanor, thinking of the two people who came from Qingming Kingdom.
Nangong Nuo'er left the room, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her cheek, and walked to the room. Recently, she spent more and more time with Lin Yixiang, and her feelings towards him have also changed. I thought that I would always stay with him in the future.
Not only was Nangong Nuoer not bored, but she was looking forward to it. Although there was an annoying Lu Zhiqing, Nangong Nuoer didn't pay attention to her at all from the beginning.
The news that Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan were dead was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Gu family and the Ye family. Gu Nuochu was the only son of the Gu family, and Ye Shengnan was no exception. These two people usually hang out together and do nothing.
Although the two families were angry and had beaten and scolded them, after all, they were their own flesh and blood. Now facing their son's body, they were both heartbroken and at a loss.
Ye Zhihua has been working secretly, hoping that the Ye family will be revived one day. And Gu Nuochu's father has also been planning to hand over all the family business to Gu Nuochu. Facing the cold bodies of the two
, tears flashed in the eyes of the two men who were already quite old.
"Any clues?" Ye Zhihua looked down at Ye Shengnan's face for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice.
Lan Ruoling met Ye Zhihua's gaze with side eyes and shook her head. "I haven't found any suspicious people yet, but..."
"But what?" Ye Zhihua felt a little irritated when he saw Lan Ruoling hesitate to speak.
"Yesterday, someone saw a group of people trying to take Gu Nuochu away, but then he was rescued by a woman. We are still investigating who wanted to arrest him. But we have something.
Mei Ming, I think you two should be aware of the recent major events in Beijing. Many people are suffering from diseases, and many people have died. Currently, there is only one pharmacy in Beijing that can cure this disease, and as far as I know
You know, this pharmacy is jointly opened by Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan."
Lan Ruoling's words shocked everyone present. Lan Ruoling looked at their disbelieving eyes and continued: "I have already asked the clerk at the pharmacy, and they all admitted that the boss is these two people. This
I will investigate the matter personally and will inform you immediately if there is any news."
Lan Ruoling said some polite words, then turned and left. When she returned to the Eight Emperors Mansion in the evening, Lan Ruoling was a little surprised when she saw Ye Zhihua coming to the door.
"Master Ye came to see me, what's the matter?" Lan Ruoling quickly poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Ye Zhihua and asked softly.
Ye Zhihua smiled weakly when he heard her calling him. "I'm no longer an adult. It's better for Miss Lan not to call me that. It's so late, and I won't beat around the bush with you. I came here to ask,
Did you really find nothing, or is there something inconvenient to say during the day?"
"What do you mean?"
"Miss Lan, I know we had some misunderstandings before. When serving different masters, friction is inevitable. But this time, I hope you can..."
"Master Ye, you are worrying too much." Lan Ruoling interrupted Ye Zhihua with a serious expression, "I am a detective and have nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. I will investigate the case and he will not get involved. Please rest assured about this, I
I won't involve you because of the grudge between the eighth prince and the prince. What's more, Ye Shengnan is gone, so even if there is any dispute, it should be over."
"I feel relieved when you say that." Ye Zhihua sighed softly, and stood up to leave. "Then I will go back first, and Miss Lan can rest too."
"Wait a minute." Lan Ruoling stopped Ye Zhihua and looked at Ye Zhihua's confused expression. Lan Ruoling motioned for him to sit down and speak slowly.
"How many years has Master Ye been under the crown prince's command?" Lan Ruoling took a sip of tea and asked Ye Zhihua with a smile.
Ye Zhihua paused, thought for a while, and replied: "It's been a few years. Why did Miss Lan suddenly think of asking this?"
"It's nothing, I just think you won't be able to sleep even if you go back now, so why not stay and chat for a while before leaving." Lan Ruoling smiled slightly, remembering what Lu Zhiyao had said to her before.
Although Lu Zhiyao had had so many conflicts with the Ye family, she always believed that Ye Zhihua still had value in using him. This time, Ye Shengnan died in Lu Zhiyao's hands, and Lu Zhiyao also wanted to
Use this opportunity to win over Ye Zhihua, who has no use value in the eyes of the prince.
Ye Zhihua felt that there was something in Lan Ruoling's words and did not refuse. He sat down silently and looked directly into Lan Ruoling's eyes. "What does Miss Lan want to talk to me about?"
"How about we talk about the prince?" Lan Ruoling raised her eyebrows and asked Ye Zhihua. "I know that although Mr. Ye is no longer the minister of civil affairs, he seems to have always wanted to return to this position. Do you think the prince still has something to do?
Is it possible to fulfill your wish?"
Lan Ruoling asked such a straightforward question that Ye Zhihua didn't know how to answer. Indeed, as Lan Ruoling said, he had stayed in the position of Minister of Civil Affairs for so long, and because of Lu Zhiyao's incident, he angered the prince and became
Of course he was unwilling to look like this today. But it was the same thing. Although he had complaints about the prince in his heart, he didn't feel that he and Lan Ruoling knew each other well enough to sit together and talk about the prince's affairs. After all, they Ye
The fact that our family has come to this point has a lot to do with the Eighth Prince.
"What does Miss Lan mean by this? You might as well tell me directly." After hesitating again and again, Ye Zhihua spoke. "I don't understand a little bit."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually, does Mr. Ye intend to serve the Eighth Prince?"
This is the first time that Lan Ruoling has lobbied a minister like this. She used to ignore these things at all, but this time Lin Yinan is not in the capital, and Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong can't show their faces. They can't guess what Lu Zhiyao is thinking.
Lan Ruoling, who was forced to use Ye Zhihua for something, could only try hard to recall the words Lu Zhiyao taught her.
"Did the Eighth Prince ask you to ask this?" Ye Zhihua asked cautiously.
"The Eighth Prince is not in the capital, and it will take some time to come back. This is what I want to ask myself. As Mr. Ye said, there were some conflicts between the Ye Mansion and the Eighth Prince Mansion before, but some things must be solved.
There will be a solution one day. The Ye Mansion is not what it used to be. From what I can see, the Crown Prince has no intention of re-employing you. I will definitely do my best to investigate the cause of Ye Shengnan's death. But Mr. Ye, you have to do it too.
You should think carefully about it. Even though your son is gone, you still have to live your life."
"It's getting late, so I'll go back first. I'll come back to my house to visit Miss Lan another day."
"Master Ye, go slowly, I won't see you off."
After Ye Zhihua walked out of the room, Lan Ruoling relaxed her muscles and lay down on the bed. According to Zhan Yulong, the two Qingming people who took advantage of Ye Shengnan and Gu Nuochu had already arrived at Nangong Mansion and never came out again.
Lu Zhiyao was not surprised at all by this result. He just said something to them firmly, that is, they must get these two people out of Nangong's mansion. But as for what should be done, Lan Ruoling
I feel very headache.
Nangong Mansion is full of soldiers holding hands inside and outside. How can it be so easy to snatch two people out?
Lan Ruoling has already written a letter to Lin Yinan, but it will take a few days to get Lin Yinan's reply. It will be even more difficult to wait for Lin Yinan to come back before solving the problem. Now, besides following Lu Zhiyao's instructions,
Besides, there seemed to be no other way. For the first time, I felt that the capital was in such chaos and things were so difficult to solve. Lan Ruoling was very worried, what would Lu Zhiyao do if the Nangong family discovered it if he did it himself?
She shouldn't have appeared in the capital now. Nangong Lingfeng has been on the battlefield for so many years, and his skills are no joke. If Nangong Lingfeng is really annoyed, it will be too late when Lin Yinan comes back.
Lan Ruoling tossed and turned and couldn't sleep peacefully, and Lu Zhiyao was also thinking hard about the affairs of Qingming Kingdom and Nangong family.
Lin Yinan had only mentioned to her before that the Nangong family had colluded with the Qingming Kingdom to help Lin Yichen rise to power, but he had not revealed anything else. Now that the people from the Qingming Kingdom have arrived, it means that the war is about to break out.
.According to her understanding of Nangong Lingfeng, he is very fond of Nangong Nuo'er, so he will never ruin Nangong Nuo'er's wedding and ruin Nangong Nuo'er's good mood. He just waits for Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang to become a couple.
After the kiss, things may be settled.
There is definitely no way to deal with Nangong Lingfeng on his own. At this time, is there anyone else who dislikes the Nangong family and can help him and play a big role?
Lu Zhiyao bit her lip and kept rocking in the rocking chair. Suddenly, she thought of a person, a very powerful person. She wanted to make plans but was a little afraid.
