There has been constant talk about the Eighth Imperial Concubine and the Eighth Prince in the imperial court recently, either openly or covertly. In short, when everyone meets, they always say a few words about what happened that day at Prince Luo's Mansion.
As the hostess of the place where the incident occurred, no one could understand Nangong Nuoer's annoyance and annoyance. After the incident that day, she immediately contacted people from the government office to block the exit from the capital, but in the end, no one was caught, or so to speak.
, not even a human figure was seen.
As Princess Luo and the daughter of General Nangong, this is an insult to Nangong Nuoer. It would be fine if she could capture a criminal that day, but she didn't, including Lin Yixiang. Moreover,
In the end, he was rescued by Lin Yinan...
Nangong Nuo'er doesn't even want to think about what happened that day, but because it involved too many people. Jiang Han is the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself, and Lu Zhiyao is the eighth concubine who is now legitimately favored.
Imperial Concubine. These two people are enough for the Emperor to personally send people to investigate the matter. Lin Yixiang entered the palace today. Nangong Nuoer thought it was because of this matter.
Although Lu Zhiqing did not witness the chaos that day, she was glad that she was not involved in it. The servants in the house had seen the chaos that day with their own eyes, and they had already told the story between Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao in private.
They were as powerful as gods. Lu Zhiqing just sneered at their words. It was even more interesting that Jiang Han was now given the title of "Broom Star". Once upon a time, these three words were inseparable from Lu Zhiyao.
But now she has become the target that everyone wants to fawn over.
Will Lu Zhiyao be seriously injured trying to save Jiang Han? Lu Zhiqing doesn't understand what happened, but she always feels that it is unlikely. Recalling that Lu Zhiyao once cruelly pierced the palm of his hand with a pearl hairpin in order to deal with himself,
Lu Zhiqing still feels scared. Jiang Han belongs to the prince, and she and Lu Zhiyao are not in the same boat. There is no reason for her to be so desperate.
Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan into the palace and met Lin Yixiang. He thought that the prince would also be called, but unfortunately he was not.
Lin Yunlong looked at the three people in front of him, first asked about Lu Zhiyao's injury, and then got down to business.
"This incident has caused a big fuss. I hope that the gangsters can be caught as soon as possible. I leave this matter to you two brothers. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang glanced at each other. No one expected that the emperor would want them to join forces. After Lin Yunlong spoke to the two of them, he let them go out, looked at Lu Zhiyao, and said, "I
If you want to talk to Zhiyao alone about something, you two should wait outside."
Lu Zhiyao was standing aside and listening enthusiastically. When he heard the emperor's words, his body stiffened and his nerves became tense.
After Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang left, Lin Yunlong was silent for a moment and asked: "How did you think of standing up for Jiang Han?"
Lu Zhiyao felt that the emperor might have suspected the reason for her injury, but with so many people watching at the time, she had nothing to fear.
"Jiang Han is also the future Crown Princess after all. The Crown Prince, Prince Luo and Princess Luo who are present all know that I am good at martial arts. If you watch Jiang Han die in front of me and ignore it, it is very likely that he will be killed in the future.
The prince and others used this excuse to cause trouble in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. And didn't my father tell us in advance that we would perform the drama well? I didn't dare to disobey. I just didn't expect that Jiang Han would always hide next to me.
He refused to leave, so he lured all those assassins to me and caught me off guard."
Lu Zhiyao's words were very straightforward, but they were also true. What she said was no different from what Lin Yunlong heard from other people. Looking at Lu Zhiyao himself, he was indeed seriously injured.
"I asked you to investigate Liu Yiyu's matter. Do you have any clues?"
Lin Yunlong changed the subject and turned to Liu Yiyu. Lu Zhiyao's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he looked timidly at him and asked, "If I tell the truth, will my father be angry?"
"Just say it."
"I haven't found out the relationship between Liu Yiyu and Qingming Kingdom yet, but..." Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment and then continued: "But I have heard something about the matter between him and Prince Luo."
"With whom? Prince Luo?"
"I think my father must not know that Liu Yiyu was beaten up by Princess Luo a few days ago. This time, Liu Shengyuan did not bring his biological daughter to Prince Luo's birthday banquet. Maybe there was something else.
The reason, but I think the biggest reason is that Liu Yiyu's face is really not suitable for seeing people now. If the father wants to investigate this matter, it should not be difficult. I think if Prince Luo is asked to investigate Liu Yiyu's matter, it may be
More efficient than me or others."
Lin Yunlong fell silent after listening to Lu Zhiyao's words. He actually knew what his son was like.
Lin Yixiang has always been good with women. Before getting married, many ministers seemed to want to marry their daughters to him, so if Liu Yiyu is interested in Lin Yixiang, Lin Yunlong thinks it is normal. Nangong Nuoer's temperament
Lin Yunlong also knew that it was not impossible to beat up Liu Yiyu for Lin Yixiang.
"So what you mean is that you want to push the task I assigned you to Prince Luo?"
"Zhiyao doesn't dare, I just think that if Prince Luo helps, things will progress faster. Father, how about promising Liu Yiyu to Prince Luo?"
Lu Zhiyao came up with a bad idea seriously, which made Lin Yunlong frown.
"You just said that Princess Luo and Liu Yiyu had a dispute, and now you want me to send Liu Yiyu to Prince Luo's Mansion?"
"It's not a bad thing to put some appropriate pressure on the Nangong family." Lu Zhiyao replied with a serious expression: "And father, you don't know that they have a dispute. Prince Luo and I will understand
Investigate Liu Yiyu secretly, the two of them together can always find something."
As for whether Prince Luo is willing to tell you the truth when the time comes is another matter...
Lu Zhiyao didn't say the last sentence, but swallowed it directly. The proposal to send Liu Yiyu to Prince Luo's Mansion was just a casual suggestion by her, and she didn't hold much hope. But even so, she would have
He has made a plan to pit Liu Yiyu and Nangong Nuoer against each other again. And this time, Nangong Nuoer's resentment towards Liu Yiyu will definitely not be less than the last time.
"Let me think about this."
Lin Yunlong did not immediately reply to Lu Zhiyao. If it was true as Lu Zhiyao said, then sending Liu Yiyu to Prince Luo's Mansion at this time would undoubtedly be another farce. I am used to the fights between the harems.
, Lin Yunlong didn't think that the struggle between these women would be weaker than that between the court ministers. Maybe Liu Yiyu would really say it out because she and Lin Yixiang were in love, but before that step, Lin Yunlong
Not willing to do this.
He has already sent Nangong Lingfeng back to the border. If Liu Yiyu is used to deal with Nangong Nuoer now, even the queen will definitely stand up.
"You continue to investigate this matter, and I will summon you into the palace in a few days."
"Understood." Lu Zhiyao nodded and walked out of the room at Lin Yunlong's instruction. Walking to Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang, she tilted her head to meet Lin Yinan's eyes and asked, "Do you want to go home?"
"Well, there's nowhere to go."
The three of them walked towards the outside of the palace together, and met Lin Mubai and Lin Ruoxue halfway.
As soon as Lin Ruoxue saw Lu Zhiyao, she immediately rushed over and asked with concern: "Eighth sister-in-law, I heard that you were injured? Is it serious?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you even know about this?"
Lin Mubai obviously came into the palace to see Lin Ruoxue. When he saw Lu Zhiyao, he casually asked, "Are you really injured?"
Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly and admitted. After hearing Lin Mubai say "trash" unceremoniously, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake. After all, he was considered half of him.
An apprentice.
"Sister-in-law Eight, it's so dangerous outside the palace, why don't you and Brother Eight move back to the palace! Then I can see you every day." Lin Ruoxue proposed with hope, which made Lin Yixiang a little dissatisfied.
"You girl, why have I never seen you care so much about me?"
Lin Ruoxue glanced at Lin Yixiang and replied righteously: "Brother Ba is not in good health, unlike you, Brother Seven, and you have a powerful wife. So Brother Seven, please don't join in the fun of this kind of thing."
Lin Yixiang coughed and smiled helplessly. He didn't know which one, him or Lao Ba, was the one who really needed protection... As for the powerful wife, Lin Yixiang thought about Lu Zhiyao's skills and did not repay the two at home.
What hope.
After parting ways with Lin Ruoxue and Lin Mubai, Lu Zhiyao and the other three left the palace. They gave up riding in the sedan chair and passed the time walking towards the Eighth Imperial Palace. Lin Yixiang also went together because of the emperor's order.
"Why did your father let the two of us be together?"
"He can't drag the prince and everyone from the Nangong family here just to investigate this matter, and you are someone who has close connections with both parties. If he doesn't choose you, why should he choose the fourth brother?" Lin Yinan replied, but in his heart he was worried
Lin Yunlong's bold move is also quite suspicious. Isn't he afraid that either himself or Lin Yixiang will leak the secret and ruin the establishment of the crown prince?
The two of them were talking while walking, and Lu Zhiyao walked behind silently without saying a word. Lin Yixiang suddenly stopped talking, then glanced at the person behind him, and asked Lin Yinan, "Your wife... right?"
Do I have any opinions?"
Lin Yixiang's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Lu Zhiyao to hear. He had no intention of dodging and suffered the different gazes of Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao. In fact, Lin Yixiang was very curious and concerned about what he had done.
This would make Lu Zhiyao so dissatisfied with him.
