Lu Zhiyao watched the change in Chu Ziqian's expression from a distance. After Lin Yinan finished talking to him and walked to his side, Lu Zhiyao asked with great curiosity: "What did you say to him?"
Looking at Chu Ziqian's livid face, it seemed like something bad had happened.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to thank him for helping us last time and letting him come and sit at my house when he was free." Lin Yinan answered Lu Zhiyao's question calmly and hugged her as he walked forward.
Why did he let Chu Ziqian come to the house so smoothly? The more Lu Zhiyao thought about it, the more something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask more. Lu Zhiyao had always been a little uneasy and guilty about concealing Chu Ziqian's true identity.
When they arrived at the place where Xia Han was, it was a very ordinary house. The courtyard was not big, but it was very clean. Lin Yinan sent two maids to wait on him, and there was also a man Lu Zhiyao had never seen before.
After chatting with Xia Han, Lu Zhiyao found out that Lin Yinan had always asked Lan Ruoling and Xia Han to meet, and it seemed that the two maids were not ordinary people. It was very quiet here on weekdays, and Xia Han sometimes even
You can go out for a walk. But the capital city has been in turmoil recently, and some officers and soldiers came here looking for someone. Fortunately, they were prepared in advance and helped Xia Han change his appearance and get through.
Lu Zhiyao felt mixed emotions in his heart after hearing what Xia Han said. She was his sister and should be taken care of by him personally, but now Lin Yinan is doing this, and his care is much better than hers.
"Sister, has something big happened in Jingzhong recently?"
"Well, Mr. Jiang's daughter was kidnapped and has not been found yet." Lu Zhiyao returned casually.
"Master Jiang?" Xia Han frowned, then asked: "Is it Jiang Han?"
After seeing Lu Zhiyao nodding, Xia Han smiled coldly. The trace of curiosity that was still on her face completely disappeared. She didn't feel any sympathy after hearing what happened to Jiang Han. She just lowered her eyes and uttered two words.
"Deserved it."
Xia Han said this almost out of conditioned reflex. After she finished speaking, she realized that it was inappropriate for her to say this in front of Lu Zhiyao. She smiled uncomfortably and explained: "The Jiang family has done so.
What an outrageous thing, retribution must come."
Lu Zhiyao didn't have any strange expression after hearing Xia Han's words. She also smiled slightly and echoed Xia Han and said, "Yes, it's time to come."
After separating from Xia Han, Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan back to his mansion. Seeing Lin Yinan getting ready to go to the study, Lu Zhiyao finally stopped him after hesitating.
Lin Yinan stopped and turned around, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had remembered something important to say, but he didn't want her to say such a word so coquettishly.
"I'm sorry to trouble you about Xiaohan."
Lu Zhiyao's thanks made Lin Yinan dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, Lin Yinan spoke.
"If you want to thank me, I'll give you something practical. Except for my wife's personal promise, I don't intend to accept anything else."
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, he strode away, so he didn't see Lu Zhiyao's face blushing with embarrassment because of his words.
As Jiang Han disappears for longer and longer, everyone feels that her hope of survival is getting slimmer and slimmer.
After Jiang Wei thought about it for a long time, he entered the palace alone. Lin Yichen looked at his cautious look and knew that he had something to say to him, so he cleared everyone out of the room and asked, "What do you want to say?"
?Tell me."
After Jiang Wei glanced at Lin Yichen, he lowered his head and slowly told the story about the Beauty Pavilion. Of course, it also included what happened to Lin Mubai and Lin Yinan.
Lin Yichen's expression changed with Jiang Wei's words, especially after hearing him say that Lin Yinan might be the master of Beauty Pavilion, and what Lin Mubai said to him, he couldn't accept it.
Many things in the palace and outside the palace are unfamiliar to people like Lin Yichen, but this Beauty Pavilion is different. Perhaps because the reputation of Beauty Pavilion is so great, Lin Yichen has heard people mention it a long time ago. Even
Some people say that it is another royal palace of Xia Lai Kingdom.
Is the Beauty Pavilion really related to Lin Yinan? Is it because he has no interest in the throne?
Jiang Wei finished all he needed to say and didn't hear any instructions from Lin Yichen. He stood with his head down for a long time, and finally slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Yichen.
"How long ago did Prince Mu come to see you?" Lin Yichen met Jiang Wei's gaze and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Wei was startled and replied: "The time is not short. I am not sure whether this matter is true or false, so I did not tell the prince immediately."
"Then you must have done a lot of research during this period. Tell me, how credible do you think this matter is?"
Lin Yichen knew Jiang Wei's character. If he had not made preparations, he would never have entered the palace.
"Going back to the prince, from what I have seen, I would rather believe that this happened than not. Moreover, I also suspect that the disappearance of my little girl has something to do with the Beauty Pavilion."
"If Jiang Han is not captured, when are you going to tell me about this?"
Lin Yichen asked with a soft smile as he sat leaning against the sofa. He looked at Jiang Wei's obviously stiff expression, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Although Lin Yichen didn't dislike Jiang Han, he couldn't be said to like him. The matter of the Crown Princess was decided so hastily, and Lin Yichen didn't think it was a big deal, because women were dispensable to him. He was sent to the Jiang Mansion that day
His bodyguards were not the best around him, but he never expected that such a thing would happen. If Jiang Han really had a problem, it would not only be about the Jiang Mansion, but more about his own reputation.
"Didn't Prince Mu say that if you have anything to do, you can go to him directly? Why did you come to me instead?" Lin Yichen continued to ask without waiting for Jiang Wei to answer.
"I don't know if the prince is deceiving me when he found me, and I don't dare to completely believe what the prince said, so I have to ask the prince to make a decision on this matter."
Jiang Wei has worked hard for the prince and queen for so many years, and their words must be more trustworthy than Lin Mubai's. Even though Lin Mubai's side seems more tempting, if he loses his life, what else can he do?
What's the use? So Jiang Wei thought about it before deciding to come to Lin Yichen.
"Since the emperor's uncle has said that, why don't you go and beg him and see what he will do." Lin Yichen raised his lips slightly and gave Jiang Wei advice: "The emperor's uncle has more masters than me.
, since you suspect that Jiang Han was captured by the Beauty Pavilion and know the location of the Beauty Pavilion, then let the emperor send someone to find out. If he really rescues Jiang Han, he will not hesitate to fight with Lin Yinan.
If a person has moved his hands, then won’t it be clear whether his words are true or false?”
Lin Yichen's words were like a reassurance, making Jiang Wei's heart calm down immediately. Jiang Wei had actually wanted to go to Lin Mubai for a long time, but he was worried that if the prince knew that he had asked for help from Prince Mu's Mansion, he would feel that he looked down on his master and chose to stay away from him.
.Now that Lin Yichen had said this, Jiang Wei immediately came to Prince Mu's Mansion without even thinking about it.
After Jiang Wei left, Lin Yichen called his confidants and ordered him to follow Jiang Wei in the past few days and pay attention to his every move.
Lin Yichen has always felt that Lin Mubai is a very ambitious person, and it seems natural that he would target the Beauty Pavilion. But Lin Yinan...
Lin Yichen closed his eyes slightly, thinking of Lin Yinan's appearance. As the emperor's younger brother, he was really surprising people more and more.
In Prince Mu's Mansion, Jiang Wei did not see anyone from Lin Mubai. Yin Jianli welcomed Jiang Wei into the house and asked him why he was here. When he heard Jiang Wei say that he suspected that Jiang Han's disappearance was related to the Beauty Pavilion, Yin Jianli
Li then understood what he meant by coming.
"Master Jiang wants the prince to help rescue Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wei smiled sheepishly and said, "I really have no choice. The Beauty Pavilion is not something someone like me can enter."
"I will ask the prince for his opinion on this matter, but Mr. Jiang, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do you think of Beauty Pavilion?"
"Because I think no one except the Beauty Pavilion would dare to do such a thing. In the past years of being an official in the court, there have been many enemies, but there are few people who might be able to do such a thing. Speaking of which, the Eighth Prince...
He can also be considered my enemy."
Yin Jianli stood up and told Jiang Wei to wait a moment. He met Lin Mubai and told him about Jiang Wei. After getting Lin Mubai's permission, Yin Jianli returned to Jiang Wei's house.
before.
"The prince has agreed. I will go to the house to pick up Mr. Jiang at midnight tomorrow night. Mr. Jiang will lead the way to the Beauty Pavilion to check it out first. After I am sure that the eldest lady is there, I will take the others with me.
Bring the eldest lady back, after all, I can't handle the Beauty Pavilion alone."
Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yin Jianli's words. After thanking him repeatedly, he returned to the Jiang Mansion. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, his mind filled with thoughts of his daughter. He couldn't help but feel sad thinking about it.
If something happens to Jiang Han, what will he do in the future?
Jiang Wei sighed heavily and quickly cheered up. There must be a way to reach the mountain. As long as Jiang Han is still alive, nothing else will matter.
After a long day, Jiang Wei finally waited for Yin Jianli the next day.
Following Yin Jianli on the way out of the city, Jiang Wei asked a little worriedly: "It's just the two of us, everything will be fine, right?"
Yin Jianli glanced at him sideways and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will go alone when we get near Beauty Pavilion. You just need to wait outside. If I haven't come out after half an hour, you can go alone."
Let’s go back first.”
Jiang Wei had already sent a secret message to the palace during the day, telling him his actions tonight. Jiang Wei was also afraid of death and worried that he would be quietly killed by Yin Jianli and thrown into the wild.
, and the murderer is at large.
"That's it. If you go in from there and walk for a while, you will see a forest. Through the forest, you will see the Beauty Pavilion." Jiang Wei pointed to the space between the two mountains in front and said to Yin Jianli: "Now the sky is bright.
It's so dark, and I don't know if there are any traps in the woods, so you have to be careful."
