"The Eighth Princess wants to choose a concubine for the Eighth Prince. She wants to discuss it with you?!"
After hearing this, Lin Yunlong couldn't help but laugh. Nangong Liu Xi frowned at him. After Lin Yunlong calmed down a little, he asked again: "The one who was with you that day was killed by the Eighth Princess.
Which minister is the daughter of the woman you like? What is her name?"
"Back to the emperor, I belong to Minister Liu's family, Liu Yiyu." Lu Zhiyao answered Lin Yunlong's question, which made the atmosphere in the room cool and change. "But I thought about it later and felt that this Liu Yiyu is not that big.
It's appropriate. After all, she used to have such a good relationship with Xia Yao of the Xia family, and then she went to Qingming Kingdom for no reason. I don't think only I am worried about bringing such a woman to the Eighth Emperor's Palace, but the emperor and the queen will also not be worried.
Bar?"
"Since the Eighth Princess feels it is inappropriate, why bother to discuss this matter with Jiang Han? Do you really want to find a concubine for the Eighth Prince, or do you want to take the opportunity to ask about Liu Yiyu? Then what exactly does Liu Yiyu and Qingming Kingdom have?
Regarding the relationship, it’s probably not the Eighth Emperor’s Palace’s turn to investigate. Is the Eighth Emperor’s concubine being too lenient this time?”
Nangong Liuxi asked with a calm smile, causing the already tense atmosphere to drop sharply in an instant.
"The queen is overly worried. The affairs of Liu Yiyu and Qingming Kingdom have nothing to do with the Eighth Emperor's Palace, and it is indeed not the Eighth Emperor's Palace's turn to take care of it. Besides, even if I want to investigate Liu Yiyu's affairs, I shouldn't do it.
Jiang Han, please ask? What secrets can Jiang Han know about Liu Yiyu and Qingming Kingdom? Isn’t asking her in vain? "
"In this case, the assassin who appeared in the Eight Emperors Palace that day is really worthy of suspicion." Nangong Liuxi's words were rejected by Lu Zhiyao, but she was not angry, but quickly changed the subject.
, back to the assassin. "Since the assassin didn't succeed, he will definitely appear again. Your Majesty, there are no guards in the Jiang Mansion and the Eighth Emperor's Mansion..."
"Whatever the queen wants to do, let's do it." Lin Yunlong stood up, looking like he wanted to leave.
Nangong Liu Xi took the opportunity to say that he would add more guards to the Eight Emperors Palace. Lin Yunlong didn't say anything, and Lu Zhiyao also thanked her for her kindness with a smile on his face.
Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yunlong out of Liu Xi's palace in Nangong. They didn't go far when they met someone. After looking around, Lu Zhiyao found out that it was the fourth prince who was in the limelight recently, Lin Yi.
promise.
"You came just in time. I have something to ask you." When Lin Yunlong saw Lin Yinuo, his eyebrows softened a little. He took two steps forward and walked to Lin Yinuo's side to take him away. But after walking a short distance
After that, Lin Yunlong looked back at Lu Zhiyao as if he had remembered something, and said, "Come here too."
Lu Zhiyao responded and walked over, following Lin Yunlong. Along the way, Lu Zhiyao scanned Lin Yinuo without leaving any trace. She was very unfamiliar with this prince. Unlike Lin Yinan, she even
I had rarely heard his name before.
"How is the investigation of the matter I entrusted to you before?"
Lin Yunlong's voice brought Lu Zhiyao back to reality from his meditation, and he soon understood that Lin Yunlong was talking about Liu Yiyu. Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice: "Back to my father, I am still investigating that matter, because
I'm not sure whether my father still wants me to continue investigating this matter, so I don't dare to take any big action."
"Don't you dare?" Lin Yunlong laughed jokingly, and then let Lu Zhiyao go. "Continue to investigate. If you find any clues, report them immediately."
Lin Yunlong intended to help Lu Zhiyao so that she could leave the palace earlier. After Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yunlong separated, they returned to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion accompanied by Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong. What the Queen said, she wanted to
The guards who were to be added to the Eighth Imperial Palace soon appeared around the Eighth Imperial Palace.
Lu Zhiyao knew very well who these guards were who nominally wanted to protect himself and Lin Yinan. Nangong Liuxi just made an excuse and openly arranged for people to go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion to monitor them.
, the emperor should have guessed it, but he is too lazy to care, or in other words, he is more willing to see such a scene now.
The two factions of the prince and the eighth prince restrained each other. No one acted rashly, and it was the emperor who benefited.
As soon as Lu Zhiyao came back from the palace, the Eight Emperors Palace was almost surrounded. Faced with this situation, everyone in the house had to become nervous. But Lu Zhiyao, who caused the trouble, seemed to be in a good mood all the time, smiling.
It's always on his face.
Lin Yinan came out of the study and listened to Ling Yi reporting everything that happened to him. His eyes moved slightly. He found Lu Zhiyao and looked at her as if nothing had happened. She was sitting in the room chatting and laughing with Yudie.
Laughing, Lin Yinan stopped there and waited patiently for the two people to finish.
When Yudie saw Lin Yinan coming, he retreated wisely. Only Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao were left in the room. Lu Zhiyao turned to look at him who was still standing there and asked with a hint of excitement: "You
Guess how many masters there are among those people outside?"
"Master?" Lin Yinan walked up to Lu Zhiyao, lowered his head and met her eyes, and asked: "A master sent by the Queen?"
"Since they are here to monitor us, it must not be too bad. Do you think the queen will suspect that we have any relationship with the fourth prince?"
"Why do you ask so suddenly?" Lin Yinan was somewhat interested in Lu Zhiyao's question, "Isn't it because of Jiang Han that you entered the palace this time?"
"It's true that it's Jiang Han's fault, but if I were the queen, I would also be worried that my two enemies would be involved."
The Nangong family's purpose is too strong. From the beginning, they have been aiming for the crown prince to succeed to the throne. They will not win over anyone who is of no use value. The fourth prince was unknown before, and he knew that he would not be favored by the Nangong family. And
Lin Yinan is different. He has been silent for so many years, never expressing his position or showing favor to anyone. After suddenly showing up, Lin Yinuo rose to power so quickly, so Lu Zhiyao thought, even if the queen
Even though he didn't say anything, he must be anxious in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have so many people here just to monitor their every move.
"So what is your purpose in bringing so many people back?" Lin Yinan smiled and sat next to Lu Zhiyao, believing that Lu Zhiyao had a plan.
"I want to get rid of all the people sent by the queen." Lu Zhiyao said in a clear voice, "She sent people here in the name of protecting us, and I will send them away in the name of assassins. Anyway, that's what happened
Now, you probably don’t mind if our relationship with her gets a little worse, right?”
"All?" Lin Yinan thought about the number of guards outside now, "When?"
"All. Let me think."
The smile on Lu Zhiyao's face disappeared. After being calm for so long, this was the first time Lin Yinan saw such a determined look on her face.
Lu Zhiyao thought that even if not many people would believe Jiang Han's excuse, the prince would still spread the word. There would be a lot of gossip, otherwise the queen would not be able to explain the extra reason around the Eighth Emperor's Palace.
These guards could not attract more attention to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion.
Lu Zhiyao never likes to owe others anything, so she will definitely find a way to repay Jiang Han's "kindness".
Lu Zhiyao has been reading the book that Lin Yinan gave her before these days, adjusting her state according to what the book said, and she found that it was really different from before.
"Is the second person on the left a better martial artist than the others?"
On this day, Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan were planning to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After exiting the gate of the Eight Emperors Mansion and seeing several guards walking in front of them, she whispered to Lin Yinan beside her.
Lin Yinan frowned and looked sideways at Lu Zhiyao. "How did you know?"
Lu Zhiyao got the answer he wanted from Lin Yinan's expression and confirmed his guess. Lu Zhiyao smiled with relief. "It's just a feeling." She replied to Lin Yinan seemingly perfunctorily, and then got in.
He got into the sedan chair, leaving Lin Yinan alone and wondering.
Lu Zhiyao didn't lie, she really just relied on her feelings. After being silent for a few days, some of the senses in her body seemed to have been sleeping for a long time and gradually woke up. Sometimes she could know that someone was in a very far away place.
He was walking over, and he could even tell the identity of this person from the sound of his footsteps. Although it was only limited to a few times, Lu Zhiyao herself was a little confused whether it was just a coincidence, but the inexplicable strong feeling sometimes made her feel
Can't be ignored.
Ever since she killed those death row prisoners that day, Lu Zhiyao has been silently controlling herself. She tried hard not to participate in all Lin Yinan's plans and actions, and tried hard not to fight with others. She didn't know if this counted.
She was deceiving herself, but she was really afraid of herself being so excited.
While Lu Zhiyao was meditating all the way, the sedan has arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Zhiyao got off the sedan, looked at the man at the door, and walked over.
"Dad." Lu Zhiyao said softly. After Lin Yinan arrived, she naturally took Lu Yuanzheng's arm and walked into the house.
"The capital is not peaceful recently. It would be good to bring more guards with you when you come out." Lu Yuanzheng also knew that the queen sent guards to the Eighth Emperor's Palace, and said with a frown, regarding the head-on confrontation between the crown prince and the eighth prince.
, he was somewhat worried in his heart.
"How did dad know it was not peaceful? Did something happen again?"
"Didn't you hear about the death of someone in the Gu family?"
"The Gu family?" Lu Zhiyao thought for a moment and remembered something. "The Gu family who does business?"
"That's right." Lu Yuanzheng sighed and said with emotion: "It's such a good family that broke up. It's a pity that no one took over such a big family business in the end."
"I didn't expect dad to pay attention to such things." Lu Zhiyao felt a little surprised. She asked with a smile: "I thought dad was only interested in officialdom."
"It's not that I want to pay attention, but if I listen to it more, I will naturally remember it."
