"But why did my father ask his uncle to inform me of this matter in advance?" Lin Yinan looked at Lin Mubai thoughtfully and laughed at himself: "Do you believe that I won't take action on the throne, or do you think I have the responsibility to act?"
This drama?”
"It's both. Who makes it impossible for you to get rid of the poison in your body?"
Although Lin Mubai's words were unpleasant, they were also true. After smiling at each other and Lin Yinan, Lin Mubai gave him a few instructions and left. Lin Yinan sat on the chair for a long time and suddenly thought of something. If Lin Yixiang's birthday party was a TV
If it's a drama, wouldn't it be impossible for Lu Zhiyao to pull off his little trick? She must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, right?
Lin Yinan sighed, really not wanting to spoil Lu Zhiyao's interest. He stood up and left, taking Lu Zhiyao back to the room. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's curious expression in his eyes, Lin Yinan asked, "Is the food not to your liking?"
"No." Lu Zhiyao shook his head quickly. He really didn't expect Lin Yinan to observe so carefully. Sitting opposite Lin Yinan in a polite manner, Lu Zhiyao actually wanted to know the reason why Lin Mubai came here in person. But now he was
Lin Yinan looked at it and didn't want to ask anymore.
Lin Yinan didn't want to hide it from her. On the contrary, he wanted to hear Lu Zhiyao's opinion. As Lu Zhiyao's expression gradually changed, Lin Yinan told the truth of the matter, pretending not to see Lu Zhiyao's gloomy eyes and wrinkled face.
Frowning, Lin Yinan poured herself a cup of tea leisurely and waited for her to regain her composure.
Lu Zhiyao has always been very dissatisfied with the emperor. Whether it was the destruction of the Xia family or Lin Yinan's poisoning, if it hadn't been for the emperor's will, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did now. But she couldn't say anything.
Because that was the emperor and his father, she could only suppress all her dissatisfaction in her heart. The current situation was obviously chaotic enough, but the emperor still wanted to intervene in this way and completely destroy the fourth prince.
If it comes to the table, the prince's side will definitely speed up the action impatiently. Those ministers who don't know the truth may also be shaken and change their stance. Maybe this is the emperor's real purpose.
"Do you think it is possible that the emperor really wants to pass the throne to the fourth prince?" Lu Zhiyao suddenly asked such a question, which made Lin Yinan stunned.
"So you thought of this?"
"The emperor has never said who he wants to give the throne to. In addition to the fourth prince, there are other princes in the palace. The emperor has his own reasons for choosing him. Besides, the emperor always does things unexpectedly. Maybe we
Is the most unlikely thing he really wants to do?"
Lu Zhiyao tried hard to think of the fourth prince's advantages, but unfortunately he knew too little about the fourth prince and couldn't think of anything. And even if the other party really had any advantages, they wouldn't necessarily be revealed easily, right? It's like
Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao would never have imagined that he would be this kind of person if they hadn't been married to him and lived with him day and night.
"Why do you think the emperor asked his uncle to come over and inform us about this?" Lu Zhiyao tilted his head and looked at Lin Yinan, saying what he thought of. "If it is really just to inform us in advance, let us perform this well
If something goes wrong, he can call you, the Crown Prince, and Prince Luo all in front of him. Wouldn't that be better? After all, the emperor wants to warn his uncle and you not to act rashly at this time.
?What have you done recently that made the emperor feel the need to remind you?"
"No." Lin Yinan answered resolutely. Compared with the prince, he believed in the strength of Su Shi and others. Those people were extremely cautious in doing things. If someone was following them, it would be impossible not to be discovered by them, so
Lin Yinan could only go somewhere else. Little did he know that the emperor not only informed him of the matter, but also secretly ordered someone to tell the prince. However, both parties did it alone and secretly, and they did not know what the prince said.
It was different from Lin Yinan's side. At this time, Lin Yichen was immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself. Unexpectedly, the plan had just been completed halfway, and the emperor was already willing to announce that he would be crown prince.
Lin Yunlong had only one purpose in doing this, which was to contain them with lies and make them put down everything they were doing temporarily, so that he could be quiet for a while to arrange the next things. But unfortunately, he forgot about Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao didn't want to pay attention to Lin Yunlong's warning at all. The opportunity to make Lin Yixiang embarrassed in front of so many people was only once a year.
"Since my father has sent someone here, if something really happens then, he won't be so quick to suspect us, right?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a rogue smile.
"Even if you are suspicious, you can always insist that it was not us. Anyway, the court can't catch those people in Su Shi."
Lin Yinan knew that Lu Zhiyao would not give up the plan easily, so he followed her. Moreover, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see the reaction of the emperor and the prince to find out what the prince's matter was.
There were only a few days left before Lin Yixiang's birthday. Lin Yichen summoned Jiang Han into the palace and asked about Liu Yiyu.
Ever since Liu Yiyu was caught by Nangong Nuoer in Prince Luo's mansion that day, the relationship between Lin Yixiang and Nangong Nuoer has not been as good as before. Although neither of them said anything to Lin Yichen, he could still tell. And not only
It was him, and even the queen noticed something was wrong.
Jiang Han didn't know what happened to Liu Yiyu. He went to Liu Mansion to see Liu Yiyu twice and was really curious about the miserable condition Liu Yiyu was beaten into. However, Liu Yiyu didn't say anything and Liu Shengyuan refused to reveal a word, so Jiang Han
Han was so confused that she even doubted whether Lu Zhiyao did it, but she didn't expect that Liu Yiyu would have anything to do with Prince Luo, and that she would be beaten by Nangong Nuo'er.
"Liu Yiyu shouldn't be able to leave the house for a while, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Han nodded and replied: "I just went to Liu Mansion yesterday. The injury on my face has subsided a little, but I still can't see people."
That's good. Lin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Liu Yiyu would not appear at Lin Yixiang's birthday party. "Try not to have too much contact with her recently, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself."
Jiang Han opened his eyes wide in surprise. Seeing that Lin Yichen didn't intend to elaborate on the reason, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only nod in response.
The days passed, and finally it was time to go to Prince Luo's Mansion.
Lu Zhiyao slept until the sun was shining for three hours before getting up. After some preparations with Lin Yinan, the two came to Prince Luo's Mansion. They got off the sedan and walked side by side. Looking at the guards everywhere in the mansion, Lu Zhiyao left no trace.
A smile.
In the past few days, the princes have appeared one after another, and so many ministers have been present. Safety must be ensured. But Lin Yixiang may not have thought that the more guards there are now, the harder he may cry.
"Eighth brother, you are here." Lin Yixiang saw the figures of Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao and strode towards them.
Lin Yinan smiled perfunctorily and was talking to Lin Yixiang when he suddenly heard someone over there saying that the fourth prince had arrived.
Lu Zhiyao originally thought that he and Lin Yinan had arrived late enough, but he didn't expect that there would be Lin Yinuo behind him. Like everyone else, Lu Zhiyao turned sideways and stared at the direction leading to the door. When he saw
When Lin Yinuo walked slowly with his servant, Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and looked away.
Lin Yinuo glanced at the scene, paused when he saw Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang, and then walked towards them.
Lu Zhiyao automatically retreated behind Lin Yinan, listening to the three men talking politely, and secretly looking for Nangong Nuoer and Jiang Han.
Nangong Nuo'er has been keeping a cold war with Lin Yixiang because of Liu Yiyu's matter, but today is a special day, and she really can't afford to disappear in front of so many people. Moreover, Lin Yichen had specifically warned her before, so Nangong Nuo'er could only endure it.
He appeared in front of everyone with a forced smile.
Jiang Han came with Liu Shengyuan and stood quietly beside Liu Shengyuan. He did not take the initiative to talk to anyone and did not approach any of the princes. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary lady.
Prince Luo's palace was bustling with activity. Lu Zhiyao looked around and found a few places where Su Shi and others might appear. Then he set his eyes on Lin Yixiang's face and stared at his smile.
Lin Yixiang noticed Lu Zhiyao's gaze and looked at it uncomfortably. The moment Lu Zhiyao met his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, showing a smile.
Lin Yixiang didn't know why, but he was a little distracted when he saw such a smile. Lu Zhiyao used his peripheral vision to see Nangong Nuo'er walking towards here, so he asked: "I wonder where my sister is? I haven't seen her in a while.
She is here, on such a good day like today, she won’t be here at home, right?”
Of course Lu Zhiqing was in Prince Luo's Mansion, but because of her appearance, she was ordered by Nangong Nuoer to stay in the room and not allowed to come out.
Lu Zhiyao listened to Lin Yixiang's answer, and turned around and left when Nangong Nuo'er had just reached a few people. Following the direction pointed out by Lin Yixiang, he walked towards Lu Zhiqing's room.
Lu Zhiqing was bored in the room doing nothing. On this day, everyone seemed to be extremely happy. But she, who was in Prince Luo's palace, seemed to be the last person who should be here.
There was a knock on the door, and Lu Zhiqing thought it was some maid coming. He casually let her in. After seeing that it was Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiqing stood up from the stool.
No matter how long it has been since the past, Lu Zhiqing will still overreact involuntarily when she sees Lu Zhiyao. After all, she suffered too much from Lu Zhiyao.
"Why is my sister hiding in the room alone on such a lively day? If the prince hadn't taken the initiative to tell me, I would have thought you had gone out of the house." Lu Zhiyao walked over to Lu Zhiqing and sat down next to him nonchalantly, raising his head.
Seeing Lu Zhiqing's stiff expression, she asked doubtfully: "Why don't you sit down and talk?"
