"What's wrong with being afraid of someone who's supposed to be dead?"
Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and stared at Liu Yiyu, grabbing his hand and shaking it off.
"Why did she die? Do you need me to ask you again?" Lu Zhiyao looked into Liu Yiyu's eyes and said coldly. "I thought that when Xia Yao died, the person who should be sad the most was you, but it seems that I
I thought wrongly."
After leaving Liu Yiyu's room, Lu Zhiyao strode out of her sight.
"Madam, aren't we going home?" Wan Yue stayed by Lu Zhiyao's side, looking at the route that didn't look right and asked in confusion.
"Well, there are still some things to do." Lu Zhiyao walked around with Wan Yue and took advantage of Lin Yinan's opportunity to come out. It was not an easy task.
Once again, they found the location of Qing Mingguo and others. Lu Zhiyao came alone, so Xuanyuan Junfan couldn't help but ask her, weren't she afraid that there would be no return?
Lu Zhiyao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied: "Even if I am killed by you, someone will definitely avenge me. By then, these four words, no return, will not only be used on me.
And I may not die in your hands."
"I didn't expect that there would be such a courageous woman in the Xia Lai Kingdom." Xuanyuan Junfan sat down with a smile and asked, "Then why does the Eighth Princess come here this time?"
"Your Qingming Kingdom is not the only one who has women who know martial arts, but only your Qingming Kingdom has this strange rule about determining your status according to your level of martial arts." Lu Zhiyao looked relaxed and comfortable.
It was just like chatting with Xuanyuan Junfan, and judging from Xuanyuan Junfan's reaction, he seemed to be very satisfied with the "big gift" he gave him last time.
After talking nonsense, they started talking about business. Lu Zhiyao came to him this time because of Lin Yinuo's affairs.
Lu Zhiyao knew that Ruan Chen was poisoned by Lin Yichen, and it was normal for Lin Yichen to join forces with people from the Qingming Kingdom. Lin Yinuo had approached Lin Yinan a few days ago, although Lin Yinan did not talk to him about the specific process.
Lu Zhiyao explained in detail, but from the words of Su Mozi and Qu Wan'er, Lu Zhiyao still knew why he asked Lin Yinan for help.
Lin Yinuo always knew that he would be unsafe in the palace, but no matter how careful he was on guard, he could not escape the prince's vicious hands.
Ruan Chen's medical skills are superb, and it is not that difficult to do something with Lin Yinuo's food. After realizing that something was wrong with his body, Lin Yinuo quickly realized that he had been poisoned.
The imperial doctor inside did not dare to look for him, and the doctor outside the palace was helpless. In desperation, he had to look for Lin Yinan again.
Lu Zhiyao didn't know why Lin Yinan went to the palace today, but Lin Yinan wanted to sell Lin Yinuo's favor, and Lu Zhiyao knew that.
"Has the prince ever taken poison from you?" Lu Zhiyao asked straight to the point. After seeing Xuanyuan Junfan nodded, she said: "I want the antidote. As for the conditions, you can prescribe it."
"Anything can be done?" Xuanyuan Junfan asked with great interest.
"If it's not to save my own life, I may not be willing to make such a big sacrifice. But if it's not too much of a request, I can still agree."
Lu Zhiyao's words were very simple and clear, and Xuanyuan Junfan smiled. He was still happy to do this kind of transaction where the price was clearly marked and the price was paid and delivered.
"The enemies of the Eighth Emperor's Palace should be the prince's faction, right?" Xuanyuan Junfan suddenly changed the topic, making Lu Zhiyao feel that he wanted to plot against himself and get some benefits from it. "I've been thinking about it.
, what common interests can there be that can make the two of us join forces once?"
"Different paths do not lead to mutual conspiracy. I don't think our Eight Emperors Palace has any goals that are the same as yours."
"The same goes for the prince and the Nangong family?"
"Although the people of the Nangong family are not lovable, their dedication and contribution to the Xia Lai country cannot be completely wiped out. Your country is watching with eager eyes. If I help you get rid of the Nangong family, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing Xia Lai with my own hands?
The country gives you the same thing? A temporary pleasure, a lifetime of notoriety, this kind of business is not cost-effective, and I don’t plan to do it. As for the prince, he is indeed my enemy, but I don’t understand why the prince would look at him.
Not happy? As far as I know, you should be partners, right?"
"What the Eighth Princess said is really straightforward." Xuanyuan Junfan sighed and brought the topic back to Lu Zhiyao's visit to him this time. "I can give you the antidote, but I hope that the Eighth Emperor
Concubine, answer me a question."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
"Xia Han, is he dead or alive?"
Lu Zhiyao was silent for a long time, then slowly replied: "Alive, but I won't let you find her."
"Why does the Eighth Princess protect a fugitive so much?"
"This is the second question. Does the prince need to give me some benefits before I can answer you?" Lu Zhiyao's sly smile made Xuanyuan Junfan stunned.
The process of getting the antidote was not as difficult as Lu Zhiyao thought in advance. After leaving Xuanyuan Junfan's place, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Husband, madam..." Wan Yue later realized what a dangerous place Lu Zhiyao had brought him to. "Does the Eighth Prince know about our coming here?"
"Don't let him know." Lu Zhiyao glanced sideways at Wanyue. She knew that this girl was very obedient in front of Lin Yinan, so she threatened: "If you dare to say a word to him, I will tear your mouth apart."
.”
Wan Yue shrank her neck, having the illusion that this was indeed the case. Her master always did dangerous things that involved stepping on the edge of a knife. Looking at the way she sneaked out today, it was clear that she must have done it behind the Eighth Prince's back.
After the two returned to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, Lin Yinan had not come back yet. After finishing the work safely and successfully, Lu Zhiyao lay on the couch happily and waited for Lin Yinan to come back.
In the palace, Lin Yinan frowned when he looked at Lin Yinuo, whose situation was even worse than when he was poisoned. He didn't expect that the prince's attack was so vicious, and he didn't even give Lin Yinuo time to breathe.
No.
"I'll leave the palace first and come back to see you in the evening." Lin Yinan whispered, looked at Lin Yinuo who had difficulty speaking, and walked out of the room.
In just a few days, Lin Yinuo became so weak. Although it was also related to himself, without strong internal strength to support it, the feeling when toxins were circulating in the body was indeed unpleasant. This matter
The emperor should also know about the matter, and he should also know who did it. But there is no evidence, and he can't figure out where Lin Yichen got the poison for a while, so Lin Yunlong doesn't have anything big to do.
Instead, he called Lin Yinan and asked him to secretly help solve the matter.
But Lin Yunlong forgot that even Lin Yinan himself was poisoned and there was no cure. At this time, what could he do for Lin Yinuo?
The first time Nie Hai entered the palace, he was called by the prince, and the second time, it was the emperor.
Walking into the gate of the imperial city again, Nie Hai felt much more at ease. Following the eunuch's footsteps, he arrived in front of the emperor's palace soon.
Lin Ruoxue and Zi Ningshuang walked out of the door and immediately saw the young man waiting outside. Nie Hai also obviously noticed Lin Ruoxue, and the two looked at each other in surprise.
Lin Ruoxue saw that there were no other servants around Nie Hai, so she walked over and asked, "Aren't you from the prince's side? Why are you here?"
Nie Hai pursed his lips and smiled and walked into the room without saying anything. Seeing how rude he was, Lin Ruoxue snorted and returned to Zi Ningshuang.
"Do you know him?" Zi Ningshuang lowered her head slightly and looked at her daughter curiously and asked.
"Not really, it's just that we met last time." Lin Ruoxue answered honestly. Zi Ningshuang didn't think much about it, but was thinking about what Lin Yunlong just said.
Nie Hai entered the room and stood in front of Lin Yunlong. Lin Yunlong looked him up and down twice and felt a little uncomfortable.
The person in front of him was the lord of a country, the Nine-Five Supreme Being. Before coming to the capital, and in the days after arriving in the capital, Nie Hai never thought that meeting the emperor would be so smooth.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age." Lin Yunlong nodded with satisfaction after noticing something strange about Nie Hai, and asked with a smile: "Who did you learn this good martial arts from?"
"Back to the Emperor, Cao Min has been practicing martial arts with his parents since he was a child. Everything he knows is taught by them."
"Oh?" Lin Yunlong raised his eyebrows in surprise and continued to ask: "So, your parents are both masters?"
Nie Hai's eyes sank, and his voice became a little lower. His parents were killed by the officers and soldiers of the Qingming Kingdom three years ago when they were transporting escorts to the Qingming Kingdom. He wanted to do it peacefully.
He was an ordinary citizen, but his wishes were not fulfilled. Nie Hai decided to go to Beijing after running his family's bodyguard agency for three years. The world was becoming increasingly chaotic, and even people in the border areas were implicated.
The seemingly mature young man actually still had his childish look on his face. After hearing his answer, Lin Yunlong was silent for a while and then talked about business with him.
"I called you into the palace because I want you to do something for me."
"The common people must do their best to live up to the emperor's expectations."
Lin Yunlong nodded, and then assigned Nie Hai to Lin Yinuo. First, he wanted to ensure Lin Yinuo's safety as much as possible, because in Lin Yunlong's opinion, the prince and the queen would attack him.
Secondly, Lin Yunlong also wanted to see if this young man who stood out among many outstanding people was as outstanding as those people said.
After receiving the order, Nie Hai felt a little flustered after walking out of Lin Yunlong's palace. It was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with the emperor at such a close distance. After being nervous, happiness filled his heart.
Lin Yunlong did not tell Nie Hai about the current situation of the fourth prince. Nie Hai did not notice anything when he arrived at Lin Yinuo's residence and did not see Lin Yinuo's people immediately.
In the house, Lin Yinuo listened to the news from his confidants that the emperor had sent him a new guard. After hesitation, Lin Yinuo chose to call Nie Hai in front of him. But when he saw Nie Hai's person, he couldn't help but froze.
