Liu Lei has been with Lin Yunlong for so many years, who dares to say this word to him except Lin Yunlong? Who has Lin Yinan ever seen say this word to when he has been tepid to others for so many years?
The smile on Liu Lei's face froze for a moment, and he immediately understood that the Eighth Prince was under fire, and the fire was not ordinary. If you know the current affairs, you should hide away.
Liu Lei continued to smile, but said nothing more. He made a gesture of sending Lin Yinan off respectfully, and breathed a sigh of relief after watching him go away.
Lin Yinan returned to the Eighth Palace and sent Su Shi to exchange for Li Muchen who was in the palace. Li Muchen has not left the palace these days and has been monitoring Lin Yunlong's actions. After meeting Su Shi, Li Muchen immediately returned to
In front of Lin Yinan.
"Has the emperor left the palace these days?" Lin Yinan asked in a low voice.
"No." Li Muchen replied with certainty.
Lin Yinan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Get everyone else back, leaving you and Su Shi in the palace. The others have other arrangements."
"Is there any news about the imperial concubine?" Li Muchen was overjoyed and asked quickly.
"I'm not sure yet, but it should be somewhere not far from the emperor."
"By the way, who is the old servant next to the emperor?" Li Muchen remembered another thing and asked with a frown.
Lin Yinan thought based on Li Muchen's description that it should be Liu Lei. "The old eunuch who has been with the emperor for decades, what happened?"
"I think this old guy is not simple, he is very alert." Li Muchen felt that it should not be his illusion. There were a few times when Liu Lei seemed to be aware of his presence. And no matter where Lin Yunlong went, this
Liu Lei will always follow him and rarely leaves Lin Yunlong's side. "And Xuanyuan Junfan seems to have started taking action. I met him in the palace."
"Is the person going there Xuanyuan Junfan?"
"right."
Maybe Xuanyuan Junfan deliberately wanted Li Muchen to find out, or maybe... Lin Yinan secretly guessed in his heart. "Even he has already taken action. Lin Yichen has really spent a lot of money."
Lin Yinan followed Lin Yunlong's order to investigate the people around Nangong Lingfeng, and the facts proved that Lin Yunlong's worries were correct.
Nangong Lingfeng brought some people back from the border this time, but he did not bring these people into the capital, but secretly arranged them in the Xuncheng area not far from the capital. The purpose of doing this was because he wanted to keep an eye on Lin Mu
White those troops stationed in Xun City? Or is there another reason? Lin Yinan didn't bother to guess for a while. He went to Xun City in person and confirmed Xia Han's safety. When Lin Yinan found out who Nangong Lingfeng was,
When asked about the approximate number of people in the gang, he was still in a dilemma.
The soldiers carefully trained by Nangong Lingfeng should all be good. It would be a pity to kill them like this.
"Eighth Prince, why didn't my sister come with you this time?"
"Well, she has something to do and she can't get away." Lin Yinan's musings were interrupted by Xia Han. He stood up and prepared to leave. He warned: "Xuncheng has been in chaos recently. Be sure not to be discovered by others. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you."
I can’t help you.”
"Yes, I understand." Xia Han nodded nervously. She spent most of her time in the secret room and had no idea what was going on outside. She sent Lin Yinan away with some reluctance. She could see outsiders looking at her at a glance.
It's a very luxurious thing to say.
"You are quite concerned about this little girl." Chu Ziqian, who came with Lin Yinan, teased.
"It seems like you've been hanging out with Su Shi a lot lately, and you've even started talking nonsense."
Is he hurting himself or Su? Chu Ziqian turned his head and figured it out. Neither of them ran away.
"Have you seen those people? Although Xuncheng used to be the territory of the Xia family, the Nangong family also has many close associates here."
"Isn't it difficult to catch all these people?" Chu Ziqian looked worriedly at the direction Lin Yinan was pointing and asked. "Even if they are captured, where are you going to lock them up?"
"There is a good place, but we have to trouble Prince Mu again."
Lin Yinan's words made Chu Ziqian understand what he meant. Thinking of Lin Mubai's cold and unsmiling face, Chu Ziqian smiled slightly. There were only people left who dared to pluck out the hair on that prince's body again and again.
Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao are two people who are not afraid of death.
Lin Yinan wasted more than half a day searching for the city, and returned to the capital only after it got dark. He opened the door and walked in with his tired body. When Lin Yinan saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but froze.
.
"Concubine Ning...?"
Zi Ningshuang's appearance surprised Lin Yinan. Hadn't she already left the capital? Why was she here?
"Close the door, I have something to tell you." Zi Ningshuang smiled lightly, sat on the chair leisurely and said, "It's not easy to come out once. To make a long story short, I have to rush back."
Zi Ningshuang looked up at Lin Yinan who was walking in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Lu Zhiyao was arrested?"
"Yeah." Lin Yinan hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Uncle Huang told you?"
Although Lin Yinan didn't know where Zi Ningshuang was now, he thought Lin Mubai would definitely know the whereabouts of the mother and daughter.
"Yes, and she was so angry that she didn't live up to expectations." Zi Ningshuang recalled Lin Mubai's tone at that time and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. In Zi Ningshuang's view, Lin Mubai cared about Lu Zhi
Yao Yao and Lin Yinan, otherwise they would not reveal their affairs to her. "Let's not talk about it for now, can you confirm where the emperor keeps her?"
"Concubine Ning, do you want to help me?"
"Only this time, I will always repay your favor. Between Prince Mu and you, that is your business. Xiaoxue is my daughter, and if something happens to Lu Zhiyao, she will not be happy."
Zi Ningshuang's words made Lin Yinan remain silent for a while, and then he dragged her in. If there was any danger, he would offend not only one person.
"Does the emperor know you are coming?"
"I'm not going to take action, so why tell him? You haven't answered my question yet. Do you know where Zhiyao is being held?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should be in the palace."
"Sure enough, it's just as I thought." Zi Ningshuang's reaction gave Lin Yinan a glimmer of hope, but logically speaking, the palace should be more familiar with Zi Ningshuang. How could she guess that Lu Zhiyao was imprisoned?
Where?
"There is a secret passage under the palace that can lead directly to the outside of the city. You probably don't know this, right?" Zi Ningshuang smiled and told Lin Yunlong's secret, "If I guessed correctly, Lu Zhiyao should
It is locked inside. As for the entrance, it is in your father's palace."
"What about the exit?"
"I don't know about this. I have never gone in. I just discovered this secret accidentally." After Zi Ningshuang finished speaking, she stood up, as if she wanted to leave. "Since your father has spent so much time,
If you try your best to catch her, you won't do anything to her so quickly. Don't worry, she will be fine."
After comforting Lin Yinan, Zi Ningshuang really walked out. Seeing this, Lin Yinan quickly followed and asked, "I'll send someone to see you off."
"No, I have other things to do."
"Going to see the emperor's uncle?" Lin Yinan asked curiously.
"No, I'm meeting an old friend. Remember not to let Prince Mu know about my return today."
He couldn't figure out the game between Zi Ningshuang and Lin Mubai. Zi Ningshuang repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need anyone to follow him, and Lin Yinan couldn't force anyone to protect him. Looking at Zi Ningshuang's back, this was the first time.
Lin Yinan smiled softly when he saw Zi Ningshuang showing off her skills. Those who can live prosperously in the palace really have their own abilities. I have long heard that Concubine Ning has extraordinary skills, even comparable to Prince Mu.
When I took a look today, I was really not disappointed.
Lin Yinan returned to the room and thought over what Zi Ningshuang had just said. Lin Yunlong's palace was not that easy to enter, and even if he entered, it would be impossible to find the entrance to the secret passage so quickly.
But then again, when did Lin Yunlong start construction on such a long secret passage from the palace to the outside of the city? Why didn't he notice it at all?
Finally, there was some news about Lu Zhiyao's whereabouts, and Lin Yinan's irritable heart in the past few days felt a little calmer.
Two days later, Ruan Chen was poisoned by Lin Yunlong. Ruan Chen, who had been bedridden at home, finally failed to escape the disaster and died.
As the most famous imperial physician, Ruan Chen's death undoubtedly shocked many people. Because he had never heard of Ruan Chen being seriously ill or feeling unwell, the explanation for his sudden death was obviously unbelievable.
The court, which had been quiet for a while, began to become turbulent again, and many people began to speculate on the real cause of Ruan Chen's death. Of course, many people were happy and wanted to take advantage of Ruan Chen's death to ascend to the throne and become the emperor's new confidant.
Tong Li, whose husband died, looks even more haggard than when she was poisoned. Although she has a house and money from the emperor, how can these things make up for the pain in her heart?
Lin Yunlong didn't feel much when he learned that Ruan Chen was dead, because he was the person he wanted to kill. But after Ruan Chen died, Lin Yunlong gradually began to feel uncomfortable in his body.
Recently, everything he eats and uses has passed Liu Lei's hand inspection, so when he first felt a headache, Lin Yunlong didn't think too much about it. He just thought that he was too tired and that's why he felt like this. He was buried in memorials all day long.
Lin Yunlong rarely even went out for a walk. Realizing this, he occasionally went out to get some fresh air. But the situation became more and more serious, and finally Liu Lei noticed his disdain.
In the early morning, Liu Lei's expression became serious when he took Lin Yunlong's pulse.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Liu Lei looked at Lin Yunlong worriedly and asked softly.
Lin Yunlong was leaning there with his eyes closed to rest. After hearing Liu Lei's words, he opened his eyes slightly and replied: "I haven't been feeling well in the past few days. I have a severe headache. What, is there something wrong?"
