There was a hint of joy in Su Shi's tone. Although he had long thought that such a day would come, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it a bit unbelievable.
"Stop talking nonsense, how are you doing with what I asked you to check?"
Lin Yinan was not in the mood to accompany him in teasing, and Su Shi also put on a serious expression at this time and told Lin Yinan the truth he had found out.
Lin Yinan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then whispered: "Keep an eye on him. If necessary, you can help him."
Su Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but didn't say much. He responded softly and left with Lin Yinan one after another.
On the surface, the Eight Emperors Palace looks no different from usual, but people inside can clearly feel the slightly depressing and tense atmosphere.
There were only a few maids and slaves in the house before, but they also changed people without knowing it. Su Shi and the others were busy all day and disappeared. Lin Yinan didn't go out of the house many times, but compared with before, it was still a lot.
However, Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong seemed to be very idle and often appeared next to Lu Zhiyao, which made both Yudie and Wan Yue feel something was wrong.
"Madam, didn't the two of them always follow the Eighth Prince before? How have they changed recently?"
On the street, Wan Yue walked beside Lu Zhiyao with a confused look on her face, glanced at the two people behind her with her peripheral vision, and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, and replied in a good mood: "They did something wrong and made people unhappy, so they were sent to us to carry things for us."
The entire conversation between Wan Yue and Lu Zhiyao fell into the ears of the two men. They frowned and looked at the things in their hands, and they both sighed secretly.
Lin Yinan has had more and more things happen recently. The two people responsible for protecting Lu Zhiyao's safety thought that Lu Zhiyao would secretly participate in something. After all, she is a restless person at heart. But who knows, Lu Zhiyao seems to be quite...
In order to enjoy this kind of life, they usually either hide in their rooms and read books, or accompany their maids to go shopping for groceries and hang out. However, Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong suffered a lot, and unknowingly they became slaves running errands and carrying things.
Wan Yue chuckled, knowing in her heart that Lu Zhiyao was joking. She looked around smartly, but all she could see were ordinary people who looked very ordinary, and there was no one worthy of suspicion. She turned towards Lu Zhiyao
Wan Yue, who leaned against her again, hoping that she could be of use at the critical moment, was always careful and nervous. Lu Zhiyao could feel her unnaturalness, and smiled without any trace, and put Wan Yue's
This intention is kept in my heart.
The oncoming sedan made Lu Zhiyao's dull eyes change. "That should be someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" Lu Zhiyao asked Wan Yue in a low voice.
Wan Yue followed Lu Zhiyao's gaze and nodded after identifying it carefully.
"I don't know if it's the master or the second lady inside."
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and his eyes kept following the sedan. Looking at the direction it was going away, he also got the answer to the identity of the person in the sedan. Lu Yuanzheng probably had nothing to do that required him to go to Ye Mansion in person.
So the person inside is most likely Ye Lianrong.
Ye Lianrong rarely goes home recently. As soon as she entered Ye Mansion and walked a short distance, she heard the sound of a woman crying.
She stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from, her already not good mood became even more irritable.
Walking to the house, Ye Lianrong kicked the door open, leaving Xiao Yihe, who was still in pain, unable to react.
"What are you doing? You're crying and making trouble." Ye Lianrong first looked at the mess on the ground with an unhappy expression, and then her eyes fell on the tear-stained face of Xiao Yihe. "Do you want me to get a rope?
Come here to hang yourself three times for you?"
Xiao Yihe's life has not been good since she got married to Ye Shengnan. Now she has no children and is now a widow. When she thinks of what she has experienced, she feels extremely depressed and wants to take advantage of Ye Zhihua's absence to vent her anger.
For a moment, she was unexpectedly hit by Ye Lianrong.
Ye Lianrong's rude tone made Xiao Yihe's face turn even more ugly. Wiping away her tears, she asked aloud: "Why did my sister suddenly remember coming back? Is there something to do with dad?"
Ye Lianrong stared at Xiao Yi and Hong Hong's eyes. Although Ye Shengnan's death made none of them feel uncomfortable, these two women who had always been unhappy with each other, now that they no longer have the relationship with that person, their feelings for each other are in their hearts.
Dissatisfaction also expanded unconsciously.
"Isn't it just to be a widow? As for that?" Ye Lianrong said sarcastically: "My brother has only been away for a long time, and he has already started making such troubles. Do you want to throw away all the things in our Ye family to be satisfied?"
Xiao Yihe was angry. After hearing Ye Lianrong's words, he responded unfailingly: "That's right, isn't it just about being a widow? Something like that! It's better than some people being a widow! My sister is in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Your life may not be any better than mine, right?"
"You...!" Xiao Yihe's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Ye Lianrong's heart. Looking at Xiao Yihe's half-smiling expression angrily, Ye Lianrong rushed forward without saying anything more.
The two women soon started fighting each other. Yuechan, who had followed Ye Lianrong in, was so frightened that her legs became weak when she saw such a scene. It was useless to try to persuade them to fight, and she did not dare to reach out. Fortunately, Ye Lianrong and Xiao Yihe calmed down after fighting for a while.
They stopped slowly, looking at each other's disheveled looks, no one said a word.
You keep hurting the other person with your words, but in fact, the one who feels the most uncomfortable is yourself.
Ye Shengnan's death has brought unspeakable haze to this family. Even though he deserved it, he was still their family after all.
Ye Lianrong gasped and straightened her clothes and hair. She glared at Xiao Yihe fiercely and strode out of her room. Xiao Yihe continued to cry when no one was around, wishing that she could pour out all the feelings in her heart.
It’s like crying out of all the grievances.
Ye Lianrong came back to see Ye Zhihua for something. After waiting for a long time, Ye Zhihua didn't come back, so she had to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily.
Ye Lianrong saw Lu Yuanzheng with a solemn face as soon as he got out of the sedan chair. He walked up to ask the reason, but Lu Yuanzheng just shook his head and walked away alone.
Not long after Lu Zhiyao returned home, he was called by the people in the palace. Accompanied by Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong, Lu Zhiyao came to Nangong Liu Xi. He looked at the emperor who was also in the room.
With Jiang Han, Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly.
After bowing to the emperor and queen, Lu Zhiyao waited to be interrogated. Sure enough, after a brief polite conversation, Lu Zhiyao heard the queen start to mention Jiang Han's injury.
Lu Zhiyao recalled the last time Lin Yinan embarrassed Nangong Liu Xi, and did not immediately answer Nangong Liu Xi's question. Looking up at Jiang Han sitting opposite him, Lu Zhiyao asked with some confusion: "Jiang
Since the young lady’s body is no longer seriously injured and she can speak, why haven’t the reasons for this incident been told to the Emperor and the Empress?”
"Xiaohan has already told me about the matter. I just want to hear what you have to say."
Nangong Liuxi smiled carelessly, picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, then softly replied to Lu Zhiyao's question.
The other party kept forcing him to speak, but Lu Zhiyao never thought about what kind of lie he was going to weave for Jiang Han. When his eyes turned aside, Lu Zhiyao quickly glanced at Lin Yunlong sitting over there. Lin Yunlong was dark when he faced him.
With his eyes wide open, Lu Zhiyao stood up straight and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The Eighth Emperor's Palace has nothing to say about this matter. It will be whatever Miss Jiang says."
Lin Yunlong was specially found and sat there with a nonchalant attitude. He actually wanted to hear what Lu Zhiyao had to say, but he didn't want Lu Zhiyao to dare to look him in the eye and say such words.
Do you want yourself to help? Lin Yunlong thought secretly. Why did she think that she would help her at this time?
"Okay, Jiang Han, please tell me." Lin Yunlong sighed, turned to look at Jiang Han, and said with a little tiredness on his face.
Jiang Han frowned, stood up from the stool and walked to Lu Zhiyao's side. He faced Lin Yunlong and Nangong Liu Xi and said, "Go back to the Emperor and Queen, the daughter of the people will be in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion that day because of the Eighth Emperor."
It was because of the concubine’s previous invitation. As for the injuries on her body..."
Jiang Han suddenly stopped when she reached the key point, with a look of fear on her face. She swallowed her saliva and continued: "The injuries on her body were caused by the assassin she met in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion that day. I think the Eighth Emperor's Concubine is like this
I have been silent all the time, saying nothing about this matter, maybe because I am worried about my safety. After all, the assassin that day has not been caught yet, and I am not sure who he is targeting. The Eighth Imperial Concubine
, am I right?"
Lu Zhiyao turned his head to meet Jiang Han's gaze and heard Lin Yunlong's voice coming from beside him.
"You mean you were injured because you were trying to save her?"
In fact, no one would believe Jiang Han's words, not even Nangong Liuxi, nor Lin Yunlong. But if she said it, no one would directly question it. So after Jiang Han nodded affirmatively, Lin Yunlong
He remained silent. He looked directly at Lu Zhiyao, with a smile that was hard to detect deep in his eyes.
Jiang Han blocked the "assassin's" knife, found a reason why she didn't say anything, and shouldered all the good deeds. So what can she do? Lu Zhiyao thought about it and felt that she could do nothing now.
I can only be a bad person.
Lu Zhiyao smiled with an unknown meaning and accepted Lin Yunlong's words. "She is right, she was injured because of me."
"The Eighth Imperial Concubine is so good, why would she think of inviting you to her house?" Lin Yunlong continued to ask curiously.
"Because the daughter of the people met the Eighth Imperial Concubine by chance a few days ago, and there was another person accompanying her at that time. The Eighth Imperial Concubine came to me privately and said that she wanted to choose a concubine for the Eighth Prince, and she casually asked me about that person.
, and chose a day for me to go to the Eight Emperors Mansion to discuss the matter in detail, so I went."
Jiang Han answered very calmly, and Lu Zhiyao listened without changing his expression. But after Jiang Han finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao suddenly realized that he was completely underestimated now. No matter Jiang Han, Nangong Liuxi
Forget it, otherwise why would she be found doing such boring tricks to show the emperor.
[Restore update, thank you all for your concern, I am fine, okay, I love you.]
