No matter how many people Lin Yinan sent to look for him, he would never have thought that she was packed into a place like this, right? Looking at these rooms, every corner was very luxurious and elegant, which made Lu Zhiyao have to wonder.
It was a hiding place prepared by the emperor for himself. If so, it would be even harder for Lin Yinan to find...
Lu Zhiyao curled up and sat on the bed. She had no idea when Lin Yunlong would let her out. The only thing she could do now was to ensure her own safety and not let Lin Yunlong succeed again.
What's up.
For several days, Lin Yinan could not find any clues or news about Lu Zhiyao. This feeling of powerlessness, knowing that she was not far away but unable to touch or see her, made Lin Yinan clearly feel again that in this capital, in
There are still things around him that he can't do anything about. No matter how hard he tries to get rid of Lin Yunlong's control over the years, how he wants to live his own life, the results are too obvious. That person always has a way waiting.
As long as he can make him obey, Lin Yunlong will not hesitate to use any means.
Lin Yunlong's arrest of Lu Zhiyao made Lin Yichen and others scrupulous. They were cautious about everything they said and did. However, since the last time Lin Yichen sent Ruan Chen to poison Lin Yunlong, there have been a few days.
Time passed, but nothing was wrong with Lin Yunlong at all. Thinking about Ruan Chen's attack time and reaction after being poisoned, I couldn't think of anything wrong.
At first Lin Yichen was suspicious of Ruan Chen. Maybe Ruan Chen didn't poison Lin Yunlong at all because he was not willing to stand on his side from the beginning. But later Lin Yichen found out that he was wrong because Ruan Chen was attacked.
.
Treat the other person with his own way, this was the first thing that Lin Yichen thought after seeing Ruan Chen again. Lin Yunlong used his own method to tell and warn Lin Yichen that he had seen all his little tricks.
In his eyes, it was useless. Abandoning the chess piece Ruan Chen was Lin Yunlong's way of expressing his position to Lin Yichen. There was no one around him who was reluctant to throw it away, and no one who could threaten him.
Lin Yunlong never met Lin Yichen in person during the whole thing, and Ruan Chen himself knew what was going on. Because he became like this after being "invited" by the emperor and drinking. The emperor's
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, no one dared to save Ruan Chen at this time.
Lin Yichen looked at Ruan Chen who was almost lifeless on the bed, took a deep breath and left. He was still afraid of Lin Yunlong. That fear had been deep-rooted in his heart since he was a child and could not go away. It has come to this day.
At this step, Lin Yichen himself knew that he could neither advance nor retreat. Even if he went to Lin Yunlong to admit his mistake now, Lin Yunlong would definitely not believe him and accept him. But if he wanted to move forward, what should he do?
"Why don't we go find people from Qingming Kingdom?"
Lin Yixiang's words made Lin Yichen's heart skip a beat. Accompanied by Luo Yuncheng, Lin Yichen left the palace in the middle of the night. After searching for a long time, he finally found Xuanyuan Junfan's whereabouts.
Xuanyuan Junfan couldn't help but smile when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince who had come all the way late at night. The aroma of tea filled the whole room. Xuanyuan Junfan poured a cup of warm tea for Lin Yichen and handed it to him. He asked in a low voice: "It's so late.
What important event deserves the prince’s personal visit?”
"The poison you gave me doesn't work."
Xuanyuan Junfan raised his eyebrows slightly, met Lin Yichen's gaze, and asked with a smile: "Are you sure?"
"At least it's useless here."
"So the prince is here to ask questions?"
"No, I just want to ask the prince to do me another favor. As for the reward, I won't let you down."
Xuanyuan Junfan scanned Lin Yichen's body with a scrutinizing gaze. They had been making quite a lot of noise recently. Especially in the eyes of his enemy, they found it even more interesting.
"I'm definitely willing to help, because if you collapse, it will be our Qingming Kingdom that benefits. Has the prince ever thought about this?"
In the fight between Lin Yichen, Lin Yinan and the emperor, no matter who wins in the end, both sides will suffer. If Qingming Kingdom sends troops to attack Xia Lai Kingdom at this time, how will they fight back? Have these people thought about it?
"As far as I know, Nangong Lingfeng is no longer a general, right?" Xuanyuan Junfan asked with a meaningful smile, "Xia Lai Kingdom doesn't even have a general who can be sent to the battlefield?"
"So if there really is a fight, we will definitely lose. Is that what the prince thinks?" The look on Lin Yichen's face was extremely serious. "Just because you are not a general, it doesn't mean you can't fight. In this country, we just want to
It is not about destroying it. The military power is indeed not in Nangong Lingfeng's hands now, but does the prince think that the eighth prince and prince Mu are so easy to deal with? "
No matter how much they fight, it is the matter of the Xia Lai Kingdom. When a foreign enemy attacks, no one will just sit idly by and ignore it. This is the only thing Lin Yichen is sure of at this time.
Xuanyuan Junfan also agreed with his words, otherwise the Qingming Kingdom would not have waited until there was no movement. This kind of good opportunity for internal fighting does not always come. And in Xuanyuan Junfan's eyes,
Look, Lin Yinan and Lin Mubai are much more difficult to deal with than Nangong Lingfeng. This is also the exact words he wrote to Xuanyuan Haotian in his letter, and it is also the reason why he does not agree to send troops at this time. Xia Lai Kingdom is gone
Xia Zhenkun was replaced by these two. Lin Yunlong should have been well prepared to deal with foreign enemies, otherwise he would not have bothered to play games of internal fighting with his sons.
"Tell me how you want me to help. Before I leave, I can get more benefits from your Xia Lai country, so that I can go back and redeem myself."
He had not completed either of the two tasks given by Xuanyuan Haotian. The deadline was about to come, but Lu Zhiyao, who promised to give him the dagger, disappeared. How bumpy.
"Help me accomplish what I failed this time."
"Ha! This requires risking my life. I have to think carefully before doing it." As Xuanyuan Junfan, who provided Lin Yichen with poison, he naturally knew what Lin Yichen meant by "failed things".
"Anyway, you are already involved in this matter, so you don't need to throw in the last kick. How about it?" Lin Yichen smiled sinisterly. Xuanyuan Junfan stared at the smile on his lips for a long time before nodding.
A person watching the excitement is not afraid of big trouble, what should he worry about?
After sending Lin Yichen away, Xuanyuan Junfan sat on a chair and looked out the window. Lin Yichen had long expected that Lin Yichen would come to find him. It seemed that no matter how hard the prince worked, he could not win against the hidden secret.
of the Eighth Prince.
Xuanyuan Junfan secretly praised Lin Yinan behind his back, but of course Lin Yinan didn't know. Staying in the Eight Emperors Palace, he rarely even leaves the house recently. The atmosphere in the Eight Emperors Palace has plummeted all the way, and is close to freezing point. Over there
Su Shi and others also worked nonstop day and night, just to find out some news about Lu Zhiyao. Where Lu Zhiyao was was not the most important thing. What they were worried about at this time was just whether she was still safe.
Compared with the worries of Su Shi and others, Lu Zhiyao's life for the past few days was quite comfortable. He was served delicious food and drinks, and could only stay in this cave without being able to get out. He couldn't see Lin Yinan and could only
Staring at a eunuch and an old man with a white beard, someone had to stand next to him when he went out to pay homage, but everything else was really good.
Lin Yunlong did not treat her badly with three meals a day, and the clothes she wore were no different from usual ones. But no matter how good the treatment was, this was not her home. Lu Zhiyao began to feel vaguely scared, although she was not sure
Whether she was that important to Lin Yinan or not, she was really afraid that Lin Yinan would have a head-on conflict with Lin Yunlong at this time.
It's not that Lu Zhiyao has never tried to escape, he fought her, hit her, and injured her. The old man with the white beard refused to give her any face. Until now, Lu Zhiyao still hasn't been able to step out of the outermost door.
Being locked up here, Lu Zhiyao was going crazy. But just when she was yelling at Tiantian and reflecting on why she had not practiced martial arts seriously since she was a child and ended up in such a mess, Lin Yunlong came by himself.
.
Lu Zhiyao was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. When the door rang, she didn't immediately raise her head to look. She just thought it was the eunuch bringing something to her again.
"Isn't there a stool? Is it easy to sit on the ground?"
The familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached Lu Zhiyao's ears, making her stunned. Looking up, Lin Yunlong's face came into her sight brightly, making her want to rush over and punch him twice to relieve her hatred.
Lu Zhiyao stood up expressionlessly, patted the dust on his body. Facing Lin Yunlong, he said in a steady voice: "Lu Zhiyao has met the emperor."
Lin Yunlong smiled softly, "Why, you didn't even call me Father anymore?"
Lin Yunlong discovered that Lu Zhiyao especially liked to call him "father" in front of the queen. It was the first time he had seen this unhappy face and prickly look on his body.
"Lu Zhiyao has met my father." Lu Zhiyao obeyed Lin Yunlong's request. Looking at Lin Yunlong's smiling face, Lu Zhiyao asked in a clear voice: "I don't know what my father is planning to imprison me for."
At that time? Or, you didn’t intend for me to leave here from the beginning?”
"How could that happen?" Lin Yunlong didn't expect her to think like this, "If I really kill you, I'm going to have a falling out."
"No matter how much trouble the Eighth Prince makes, he is just tossing in the hands of his father." Lu Zhiyao knew that he shouldn't say this, but he really couldn't put on a smile to talk and discuss with Lin Yunlong.
From the initial destruction of the Xia family to today, Lu Zhiyao has accumulated too much dissatisfaction with Lin Yunlong in her heart. But he is Lin Yinan's father, so she can't say anything in front of Lin Yinan. But this does not mean that she has no
