Lu Zhiyao thought of a suitable candidate, but before she could think of a reason and a way to find that person, the other party came to her.
When he woke up the next day, Lu Zhiyao took a few bites of food and kept thinking about his plan. If Bai Lixuan and the others hadn't appeared in front of him in a panic, Lu Zhiyao probably wouldn't have walked out of the room.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiyao knew what had happened as soon as he saw the expressions of the three people. He stood up and asked in confusion. After she heard Bai Lixuan whisper that Xia Han was gone, Lu Zhiyao's body suddenly
The ground was startled.
"When did it happen? Hasn't she been with you all the time?" Lu Zhiyao's heart was a little impatient, and his eyes swept over the faces of the three people in front of him one by one. Lu Zhiyao secretly told himself to stay calm. "
Do you know when she left?"
"The lady said this morning when she was having dinner that she had something to do and wouldn't let us go to her room to disturb her, so none of us dared to disturb her. Just now I went to her room to ask her to have lunch, but after knocking on the door for a long time, nothing happened.
Then I felt something was wrong." Qing Ling sighed anxiously, "I have lived here for so long, and the lady has never gone out once, and I don't know where she went. If she is discovered by the prince's people,
That’s it.”
"It's not that easy, don't worry." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Qing Ling and said, "Didn't Xiaohan never go out for a long time when he was at home? Lin Yichen is busy now and doesn't have the free time to wander outside the palace. What's left is
I'm afraid not many people here can recognize Xiaohan. She shouldn't have gone far. Let's search separately. You three must also be careful. No matter whether we find it or not, everyone will be back in an hour.
,Understand?"
"Understood." Bai Lixuan and the others nodded in unison, and then hurriedly left to find Xia Han's whereabouts. Lu Zhiyao left a note in the room to prevent Ling Yi and others from being anxious when they came back, and then strode away.
Go out. Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong both went to investigate the affairs of Qingming Kingdom. Lan Ruoling was still in the Yamen at this time, so there were only a few of them in the house. Due to their negligence, they didn't even notice that Xia Han had gone out. Lu Zhi
Yao was annoyed and blamed himself, looking for Xia Han anxiously and carefully.
An hour passed quickly in a hurry, and several people returned to the house one after another. Looking at each other's anxious and worried expressions, they were a little overwhelmed.
"I've found everything I need to look for. I'll go find Ruo Ling and let her help think of a solution." Lu Zhiyao clenched his fists and made a decision in desperation. "It's hard for you guys to show up all the time. I don't know you."
There are many more people than those who know Xiaohan."
Just when Lu Zhiyao was about to go find Lan Ruoling, Xia Han returned to several people. Behind him, there was another person.
The appearance of Yin Jianli made the hearts of Lu Zhiyao and others sink. Lu Zhiyao pretended to be calm and looked at Xia Han. After confirming that there were no injuries on her body, he signaled to Bai Lixuan and the others behind him not to act rashly.
"Eighth Princess, Prince Mu invites you to come to the palace." Yin Jianli glanced at Bai Lixuan and Liu Xisheng coldly and said to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth. Xia Han being discovered by Lin Mubai was no better than being discovered by the Nangong family. At this juncture, he did not expect such a thing to happen. Lu Zhiyao knew that if he thought about it, Lin Mubai and others
What questions will I ask myself next. Lin Mubai's stern face appeared in his mind. Lu Zhiyao nodded and said reluctantly: "Okay, I will follow you to see the prince."
Lu Zhiyao was taken away by Yin Jianli, and Xia Han's feet went weak the moment they walked out of the room. Bai Lixuan supported her with quick hands and eyes, frowned and asked: "Second Miss, where have you been?"
"I..." Xia Han had tears in her eyes, and she was still in fear. "Don't talk about it yet, they won't do anything to my sister, right?"
"She is also the eighth princess after all. Prince Mu will not embarrass her, right?" Qing Ling said this so that even she didn't feel confident. They had never dealt with Lin Mubai, but they didn't know anything about Lin Mubai.
How much have you heard.
"This matter was caused by us. If the Eighth Imperial Concubine had any good intentions, we would not have the shame to see the Eighth Prince again." Bai Lixuan said with a solemn expression, "Xisheng, go to the Yamen and tell Miss Lan that the Eighth Imperial Concubine has been raped.
Prince Mu took him away."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Liu Xisheng hurried out of the door and walked cautiously to the Yamen. When Lan Ruoling appeared, he immediately stopped her and told her what happened. Lan Ruoling was stunned for a long time after listening to Liu Xisheng's words, and her face looked uncomfortable.
Said: "I understand, you go back first, I will find a way to do this."
Although Lan Ruoling said this, she had no idea what to do. When she came to the vicinity of Prince Mu's Mansion alone, Lan Ruoling looked at the mansion from a distance, hesitated again and again, and walked over quickly.
Lu Zhiyao was brought to Lin Mubai, walked into the room, looked at Lin Mubai sitting on the chair, glanced at him coldly, and then lowered his head to do his own thing. Lu Zhiyao stood for a while,
Then I heard him speak and asked myself: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Zhiyao bit his lip and tried hard to organize his words. "Now that the prince has discovered it, I have nothing to hide."
"Now that things have come to this, you can't hide anything even if you want to, right?" Lin Mubai looked up at Lu Zhiyao, whom he hadn't seen for a while, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't Lin Yinan also involved in this matter?"
Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Even if she took everything on her now, it was impossible for Lin Mubai to believe it. It couldn't be a coincidence that he caught Xia Han today.
.
Lin Mubai looked at Lu Zhiyao seriously. He wanted to see clearly how courageous the woman in front of him was to do such ridiculous things again and again.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Lin Mubai did not mention the Xia family's affairs for the time being, but asked the reason for Lu Zhiyao's return.
Lu Zhiyao met Lin Mubai's gaze and replied frankly: "Because my father, the Nangong family, wanted to assassinate him, I was worried, so I came back early."
"You are really a filial daughter." Lin Mubai smiled softly, his eyebrows full of ridicule. But he did not show any surprise at what Lu Zhiyao said. Obviously, he had already known that Nangong
Nuoer once took action against Lu Yuanzheng.
"How much do you know about the recent events in the capital?"
"I know everything." Lu Zhiyao clenched his fists and said tensely: "Why did those people die, who did it, where are the prisoners now, I know everything. I don't know if the prince has
Not interested in listening?"
Lin Mubai didn't say anything. After Lu Zhiyao paused for a moment, he continued. "I killed Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan. They killed so many innocent people. They deserve to die."
"You are quite candid."
"It's okay not to be honest in front of the prince. I still want to save my life and live for a few more years." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and said half seriously and half jokingly: "When I came back this time, I wanted to find someone.
It’s time to visit the prince, but unfortunately I have been busy with things. I didn’t expect that I would meet with the prince again under such circumstances.”
"Visit? Don't say it so nicely. Even if you really come to see me, there must be nothing good to do."
Lin Mubai hit the mark on Lu Zhiyao's thoughts with just one sentence, which made Lu Zhiyao feel guilty. "Your Majesty." Lu Zhiyao swallowed his saliva and spoke again: "I know you brought me here today because of Xia Zhiyao.
Han's matter. Hundreds of members of the Xia family died tragically, leaving only them alive. I beg the prince to give them a way out and not to pursue this matter any further. I will bear all the responsibilities alone."
"Can you afford it?" Lin Mubai said in a gloomy tone, feeling that Lu Zhiyao was a bit overestimated. "Do you know that keeping them by your side means who you are going against?"
"Nangong family, queen, prince." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and quickly thought about whether to tell the story about Qingming Kingdom. Maybe Lin Mubai already knew about it. Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Lin Mu
Bai Neng has the heart to protect his family and country and is loyal to the emperor, but if the Qing soldiers attack, he will definitely not live as carefree as he does now, right?
"Your Majesty, Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan were used by others, and the people from the Qingming Kingdom who used them are now in the Nangong Mansion." Lu Zhiyao was a bit frustrated and told everything at once.
Come out. "Those two people took the initiative to find Nangong Lingfeng. I think it must be unusual for General Nangong to take in two people from Qingming Kingdom, right?"
Nangong Lingfeng usually gives people the impression that he hates the people of Qingming Kingdom and wants to drive them out. Therefore, even if the people of Qingming Kingdom stay in his house, he will not tell them.
Who would believe it?
"So? What are you going to do? Do you want to go into Nangong Mansion to find out what's going on?" Lin Mubai touched the teacup on the table and looked at Lu Zhiyao with indifferent eyes and a calm expression standing there without speaking.
Bai suddenly exerted force, and the tea cup in his hand was broken into pieces.
Lu Zhiyao did not expect that Lin Mubai would suddenly attack him and quickly dodged, but his face was still scratched by the debris.
A trace of blood appeared on Lu Zhiyao's face. Lin Mubai still sat there leisurely and looked at her. When Lu Zhiyao raised his hand to wipe the blood drop, he asked jokingly: "It's just you,
You also want to arrest people in front of Nangong Lingfeng? Where do you think Nangong Mansion is? Or do you think that even if you are arrested by Nangong Lingfeng, that boy Lin Yinan will come back to save you? "
Lin Mubai stood up slowly and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao was shocked by the cold air on his body and took a step back reflexively, but Lin Mubai pinched his chin hard.
