Lin Mubai's strength was very strong, and he did not think of restraining it. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Mubai's eyes closely, and frowned at the murderous intent faintly flashing in his eyes.
"Do you know what kind of people I hate the most? It's people like you who are so weak but always want to meddle in other people's business."
"Can the prince just watch so many people die tragically and turn a blind eye? The Nangong family intends to rebel. They collude with the Qingming Kingdom to harm the emperor and want Lin Yichen to ascend the throne. The prince is not worried at all.
Will the Nangong family do anything to you then?"
"They don't dare." Lin Mubai replied calmly, with confidence in his words.
"But they dare to do anything to me and the Eighth Prince, so what I am doing now is just to protect myself." Lu Zhiyao held back the pain and talked softly to Lin Mubai. What did Lin Yinan use last time?
She still doesn't know how to deal with Lin Mubai. From the first fight to the present, Lu Zhiyao has always been afraid of Lin Mubai. Even after marrying Lin Yinan, it has never disappeared.
.
"You saved Xia Han and Bai Lixuan just to protect yourself?"
Lin Mubai changed the topic and turned it to Xia Han. Lu Zhiyao's eyes darkened and he whispered: "I didn't save them. They escaped death in Xuncheng. I happened to meet them after they returned to the capital.
I'm here. Xia Han is my sister, and I can't help her."
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly added, "Xia Yao and I have a very good relationship."
Lu Zhiyao could not let others know about the transaction between Lin Yinan and the emperor, otherwise Lin Yinan would be in more danger. Therefore, Lu Zhiyao did not dare to speak out easily about the emperor's desire to rehabilitate the Xia family.
Lin Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Zhiyao. Lin Mubai did not believe what she said. He gradually relaxed the strength on his hand, which made Lu Zhiyao breathe a sigh of relief.
"My lord, aren't you worried that when Lin Yichen becomes the emperor one day, the concubines and princesses in the harem will be implicated?"
Lu Zhiyao opened his red lips lightly and asked Lin Mubai word by word. The force he had just withdrawn was doubled on Lu Zhiyao's body. Lu Zhiyao was hit by Lin Mubai and stepped back.
He took a few steps and took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his body. He stabilized his body and faced Lin Mubai's cold gaze. Lu Zhiyao knew that Zi Ningshuang and Lin Ruoxue might be his only weakness now.
"If the prince doesn't want to help, just pretend that he hasn't heard what I said today. I can handle the Nangong family myself. Even if I die in their hands unfortunately, I will not dirty the place in Prince Mu's palace. As for the empress in the palace
As for the little princess, please pay more attention to it yourself. The two Qingming people in Nangong's house are very good at using poison. I can't guarantee whether Nangong Lingfeng will arrange for them to enter the palace to poison.
Conspired to kill the emperor. As we all know, the prince's status in the court is unmatched. The prince has always wanted to win over you, prince, but he has never been able to do so. On the contrary, you have come forward for the eighth prince. Zhiyao admits that
They are stupid, but they also think clearly about some things. When the prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely eliminate dissidents. They can't hurt the prince in the slightest, but it doesn't mean that they can't hurt the two people in the palace. The prince versus the little princess
Your love for them is never hidden, and everyone can see that your love for them as a mother and daughter is extraordinary, isn't it?"
"Are you threatening me to join forces with you?" Lin Mubai asked with a slight smile.
Lu Zhiyao was confused by his smile. "I don't have the guts. I just told some facts. The prince also knows in his heart whether what I said is true, doesn't he?"
Lin Mubai and Lu Zhiyao were a few steps away. After the two looked at each other for a while, the silence was finally broken by Lin Mubai.
"Tell me what else you know."
Lin Mubai turned around and sat back on the chair. Lu Zhiyao took advantage of the gap when he turned around, raised his hand and rubbed the place where he was hit with a painful expression. Lin Mubai's slap was not gentle,
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been beaten until he vomited blood. Lu Zhiyao calmed his breathing, and after Lin Mubai sat firmly, he talked about what he wanted to know.
She talked alone for a long time, and Lin Mubai kept listening except for occasionally asking one or two questions. At the end, Lu Zhiyao had nothing to say, so he just stood there and looked at him. Lin Mubai's attitude
It was too weird, so Lu Zhiyao couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Lan Ruoling would like to see you."
Yin Jianli's voice came from outside the door, attracting the attention of Lu Zhiyao and Lin Mubai. Lin Mubai glanced at Lu Zhiyao and sneered: "It seems that he is here to save you."
Lu Zhiyao said nothing and looked at Lin Mubai quietly. He thought about many possibilities. Lu Zhiyao thought that Lin Mubai might imprison her in Prince Mu's Mansion and not let her leave. He also thought that he might
She would do something to herself again. But no matter how she thought about it, she never expected that Lin Mubai would say such things.
"You should go back first. I will look for you later."
Looking for her? Why are you looking for her?!
Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes in fear, not knowing what Lin Mubai meant. He twitched the corners of his mouth forcefully and showed a stiff smile. Lu Zhiyao said hesitantly: "How dare you trouble the prince..."
Before Lu Zhiyao could finish his words, he was forced back by Lin Mubai's gloomy gaze. He immediately shut up, turned around, and strode out of the room. Lu Zhiyao ran away as if fleeing for safety, fearing that Lin Mubai would regret it.
Catch yourself again.
Lan Ruoling saw Lu Zhiyao walking out with an unhappy expression, and hurriedly greeted her. When she saw the blood stains on Lu Zhiyao's face, Lan Ruoling became nervous. "What's going on? Did you take action?"
"Go back and tell me." Lu Zhiyao coughed twice and stretched out his hand to hold the place where Lin Mubai hit him. "He beat me until I almost died. Go back and give me some medicine."
Lan Ruoling panicked after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words. She returned to her residence with Lu Zhiyao and checked her injuries. Lan Ruoling frowned and looked at the purple scars on Lu Zhiyao's body, and took a breath.
"What on earth is going on? Why would Lord Mu do something to you if you are so good?"
"It's not the first time, so there's no need to make a fuss." Lu Zhiyao signaled that Lan Ruoling was okay and whispered: "I poked his sore spot this time, but there's nothing I can do about it. I have to know if he really cares.
Those two people. Prince Mu has always been worried that the Eighth Prince and I will ruin his peaceful life. But things have become like this. Even if Lin Yinan and I are killed, his life will not be any easier. I
I think he may have realized this, so he took out his anger on me."
Lan Ruoling applied medicine to Lu Zhiyao and sighed heavily when she saw Lu Zhiyao's suppressed expression.
"If master knew that you were so seriously injured, he would definitely not spare us."
"Then don't let him know." Lu Zhiyao put on his clothes and said with a heavy heart: "Anyway, it's not certain when he will come back. Prince Mu said that he will come to me again later, although I don't know who he is.
If something happens, it won't be a good thing, so I have to be mentally prepared."
Lu Zhiyao's expression of helpless resignation made Lan Ruoling's mood plummet. It was easy to offend anyone, but this Lin Mubai, she really had nothing to do.
"Ruo Ling, go and call Xia Han for me. I have something to ask her."
"Okay, just wait." Lan Ruoling walked out of the room and brought the message to Xia Han.
Lu Zhiyao watched Xia Han walk timidly in front of her. She pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down."
Xia Han sat uneasily on the chair, twisting the corners of his clothes with both hands, not daring to look into Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why are you looking for me...?"
These days, Xia Han's words of "sister" are much smoother than before. Lu Zhiyao feels happy and sad, but most of them are happy. At least she no longer rejects herself as much as she did at the beginning.
"Xiao Han, do you know how dangerous it is outside now? You don't know martial arts, so you just ran out alone. Today you were discovered by Prince Mu. If you are discovered by Nangong Lingfeng tomorrow, what will you do?
Will Nangong Lingfeng be like Prince Mu and send you back because he finds it troublesome?!"
Lu Zhiyao thought that Lin Mubai didn't take Xia Han to Prince Mu's Mansion today because he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
"I..." Xia Han kept mumbling for a long time, and finally, under Lu Zhiyao's questioning, he finally told the truth. "Tomorrow is Brother Liu's birthday. I thought there was nothing wrong, so I wanted to go out and buy him a copy.
It’s a gift, but who knows who I will meet.”
Lu Zhiyao exclaimed after hearing Xia Han's words. Unknowingly, this time has come. Xia Han has had a good relationship with Liu Xisheng since childhood, so Lu Zhiyao couldn't go after hearing her reasons.
Why blame Xia Han? The Xia family is gone and Xia Han has nothing. She will want to treat the people around her like her family. This may be something Lu Zhiyao should be happy about.
"If you want to go out to do anything in the future, come to me to discuss it. At this time, if you go out alone, we can't help but worry, understand?" Lu Zhiyao said seriously: "If something happens to you again, let Bai Lixuan and the others
What to do with three?”
"Xia Han understands and will never run around again." Xia Han nodded vigorously and promised with a serious look. Lu Zhiyao looked at her and let her leave.
Lin Mubai said that he would come looking for him again, but he did not reveal the specific time. Lu Zhiyao waited uneasily for this man to come, not knowing what his real purpose was in looking for him.
Two days passed without any movement. Lu Zhiyao started to feel a little secretive, but when Lin Mubai woke her up from her sleep and pulled her out of bed, Lu Zhiyao no longer felt that unhappy.
