Lu Zhiyao had planned everything, and all Lin Yinan could do was give her full support.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao followed Lan Ruoling out after changing her appearance. He walked around a lot with Lan Ruoling outside, watching her busy doing things for the court, Lu Zhiyao could only secretly
I sighed in my heart that letting Lan Ruoling be a small catcher was really overkill.
After it got dark, the two of them came to the dungeon. After saying hello to the jailer, Lu Zhiyao followed Lan Ruoling in with a swagger.
The scene hidden deep in his memory appeared before him again. Lu Zhiyao scanned the cells on both sides with bright eyes, quickly looking for the faces he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Walking all the way to the deepest part of the dungeon, Lu Zhiyao finally saw those people. The prisoners here are also arranged in prisons according to the degree of their crimes, and these people selected by Lu Zhiyao are all in
The one in the innermost cell. These people usually take out one or two people without paying any attention to them, but if they take them all out at once and cannot bring them back, it will arouse suspicion.
Lan Ruoling followed Lu Zhiyao's gaze and frowned in embarrassment. Lu Zhiyao also knew that this matter was not easy to handle, but after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and whispered in Lan Ruoling's ear.
After a few words, he turned around and left.
Lan Ruoling looked at Lu Zhiyao's walking back in surprise, not knowing whether what she said was true or not.
Is there an emperor who can support her? Is it possible?
Lu Zhiyao actually didn't say anything. She just told Lan Ruoling that the emperor had ordered her to do something before, so if something happened, she would go to the emperor to explain it.
She opened the cell door dubiously, and Lan Ruoling's behavior made the men inside look at each other in disbelief.
"What else are you looking at? Follow me!" Lan Ruoling loudly ordered a few people. These people committed murder and arson, so they had to be extra careful when releasing them.
The few people were stunned for a moment before they realized that this was not their illusion, but why were they all suddenly asked to go out? A bad feeling arose in the hearts of several people. The man sitting in the back was still leaning on the haystack with his legs crossed.
Go up, look up at Lan Ruoling and ask: "What are you going to do?"
"Where does all this nonsense come from? I'm not asking you to go out to do work, why should I take you to the flower house to have fun?"
With a little impatience, Lan Ruoling said to a few people in a cold voice that she had captured most of these people with her own hands, so there was no need to explain their resentment towards her.
Several men exchanged glances secretly, then slowly stood up and followed Lan Ruoling. The shackles on their hands and feet prevented them from walking too fast, and the sound of the iron chains rubbing against the ground attracted the other prisoners' sideways glances.
, when the jailers guarding outside saw Lan Ruoling coming out with these people, they were stunned.
"Take them out so late?"
"Well, there is a shortage of people over there. We need a few strong ones." Lan Ruoling replied in a low voice.
"Is this... nothing going to happen?"
"I caught them all, are you afraid that they will escape?" Lan Ruoling raised her voice slightly, causing the person who asked the question to immediately shut up and take a step back to give in to her.
After taking several people out of the dungeon, Lan Ruoling watched Lu Zhiyao walking over not far away.
"Take him away directly?" Lan Ruoling asked softly.
Lu Zhiyao smiled and said nothing, but slowly looked at the five men, his eyes passing over their faces one by one, not letting anyone go.
"What a long-lost face."
What Lu Zhiyao murmured surprised Lan Ruoling. She had seen them before?!
"Let's go, time is precious, don't waste it all on you." Lu Zhiyao seemed to be in a good mood, turned around and walked away, heading out of the city with Lan Ruoling and a few others.
The entourage responsible for following the two people and escorting them out was also arranged by Lan Ruoling and Lu Zhiyao in advance, and there were even Ling Yi, Zhan Yulong and others. The group of people left the city leisurely
The door suddenly changed the direction after walking some distance, which made several prisoners who were already doubtful suddenly feel that something was wrong. They had all been to the quarry, and it was impossible for them not to notice that the route was wrong.
"Where are we going?"
Lan Ruoling glanced back at the man who asked the question, and without thinking, she replied casually: "The imperial court has opened a new quarry. I will take you there."
Lan Ruoling's answer made several people shut up, and it wasn't until they were taken to the place that they realized that the matter was not easy to handle.
"Let's go, there are other things to do." Su Shi, who had not spoken yet and accepted Lin Yinan's favor to come to protect Lu Zhiyao, stretched his body and had to be alert to see if anyone was secretly following him along the way.
His nerves finally relaxed, he watched those people being taken away by Zhan Yulong and the others, and when only he and Lu Zhiyao were left, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Eighth Princess choose them?"
Lu Zhiyao withdrew his gaze, smiled inexplicably, and replied: "It's nothing, I just wanted to do something good."
They didn't get a piece of her fat meat back then, so she would give them another piece of it today.
No longer waiting for Lan Ruoling and others to come out, Lu Zhiyao walked towards the Jiang Mansion. The journey back and forth was not short. The night was getting darker and the temperature turned colder. Lu Zhiyao, who could have ridden back, chose to walk instead.
, which made Su Shi who was following her somewhat confused about the thinking of the eighth princess.
This was the first time the two were alone together. They didn't know each other well, and they were both curious about the reason why the other stayed with Lin Yinan.
Lu Zhiyao walked leisurely for a while and then suddenly sped up. His thin figure disappeared in the night. Su Shi raised his eyebrows and immediately chased after her, accompanying her to the Jiang Mansion.
"Can you help me?" Su Shi looked at Lu Zhiyao who was about to leave and leaned against the wall lazily and asked.
"No need." Lu Zhiyao replied softly, and after asking Su Shi to wait for him, he sneaked into Jiang's house and rushed to Jiang Han's room.
Su Shi waited for Lu Zhiyao to leave for a while, then moved freely and entered the Jiang Mansion from the other side. He had never been to this place before, so he looked around, listened carefully to the sounds nearby, and looked for
The location of the landing.
Jiang Han had already laid down on the bed after taking a bath. The emperor had just announced the decree today, so her status was no different from that of the crown princess from now on. All that was left was to wait to enter the palace.
Jiang Wei went all the way from Xuncheng to the capital, from Xia Zhenkun's side to the prince's side, and his status in the court continued to rise. And now that his daughter has become the crown prince personally selected by the emperor, all the ministers are even more excited.
His eyes turned red. In just one day, the threshold of the Jiang Mansion was almost leveled. Although Jiang Wei was happy, he did not forget the safety of his daughter. He specifically asked the prince for instructions and transferred some officers and soldiers to stay in the Chiang Mansion.
He didn't leave until Jiang Han entered the palace.
As soon as Lu Zhiyao entered the Jiang Mansion, she noticed something different from before. There was a cold light in her eyes and a sarcastic smile on her lips. She covered her face with a mask and took advantage of the gap between the two teams of guards to take a break.
He arrived at Jiang Han's courtyard quietly.
A delicate and small dagger was held in his hand, and a body fell to the ground before it could resist.
"who?!"
Sensing something was wrong, the other guards invariably shifted their gazes. When they saw their accomplice lying in a pool of blood, surprise flashed across their faces, and they all posed alertly to face the enemy.
Lu Zhiyao, who had been patient for a long time, seemed to have gained a long-lost freedom, and his attacks were much more ruthless than usual. He killed several people without any effort, instead of knocking them unconscious. She lowered her head and looked at the dagger.
There were blood stains, and I felt a vague sense of dissatisfaction deep in my heart.
The bloodthirsty murderous intention could not dissipate in her eyes for a long time. Lu Zhiyao, who was still sane, quickly rushed into Jiang Han's room and pulled the sleepy Jiang Han out of the quilt on the bed.
The scream came from Jiang Han's mouth, but it sank again the moment it sounded. The limp body leaned in Lu Zhiyao's arms, still retaining the warmth in the quilt. Lu Zhiyao took her out.
After entering the room, she looked coldly at the empty courtyard. Listening to the approaching footsteps, she jumped up and disappeared into the courtyard just before the guards arrived.
The several corpses on the ground made the people who came to patrol panic and knock on Jiang Han's door. There was no response from the house. They gritted their teeth and chose to break in. The unoccupied bed meant that disaster was coming. Those who rushed out of the room
The guards were shouting loudly to tell other people nearby to pay attention to the assassin, while they were running around the house helplessly trying to find Jiang Han.
Lu Zhiyao threw the unconscious Jiang Han to the roof and did not leave immediately. Choosing a place not too far away from her, she hid in the dark and watched with interest as the Jiang Mansion became more and more lively.
, and then jumped out when Jiang Wei and many servants found the area in a panic.
Jiang Wei, who had finally survived this day, never thought that bad luck would come so quickly. Jiang Wei, who was wearing a robe and shoes and had just ordered someone to go to the Yamen to find someone for help, was already dizzy and full of anger.
. As he was walking forward in large strides, he suddenly felt a black shadow approaching. When he took a closer look, there was already another person in front of him, very close to him.
Jiang Wei reflexively made a sound of panic, and at the same time staggered back, hiding behind the servant for safety. However, he soon realized that this was of no use at all, so he ran away.
Jiang Wei had already experienced an attack by assassins in Xun City before, and he had narrowly escaped death that time, so this time he was even more frightened.
Lu Zhiyao watched Jiang Wei running for his life amusingly, and another person was killed in front of him. Blood spattered on Jiang Wei's face, and Jiang Wei, who was so frightened that he could only scream and run away, felt in a trance
He was about to lose his life, but after running for a long time, he realized that the assassin had disappeared.
Lu Zhiyao made a big fuss in the Jiang Mansion, and then left with Jiang Han happily. Su Shi, who had never shown up, saw the whole incident and frowned tightly without realizing it.
"I didn't expect the Eighth Prince to like this kind of person." Su Shi turned his head to look at the people around him in disbelief, and asked half seriously and half jokingly: "If you keep such a woman beside your pillow, you won't be afraid that she will kill you one day.
How about it?"
[I will try my best to update steadily in the future. I have been sick and will never stay up late again. I will make up for all the updates I owe in the next few days. The plot should be pretty good recently, and there is enough foreshadowing. 】
