Lu Zhiyao walked over in a few steps, opened the door and saw He Xiaobai and Li Ming over there. After so many days of observation, Lu Zhiyao was sure of the status of the old man with the white beard. Not only
This eunuch, and even the emperor, seemed to have some respect for this He Xiaobai. Lu Zhiyao, who still didn't know He Xiaobai's true identity, said softly: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of you, it's just that
I would like to ask, is it true that Prince Luo ascended to the throne?"
It makes no difference to He Xiaobai whether Lu Zhiyao eavesdrops or not. Even if she knows, what will happen?
He Xiaobai glanced at Lu Zhiyao, sat back at the table, and said neither fast nor slow: "What can you do if you know?"
"The emperor locked me up here, and I have nothing to do. It's always good to use my brain to think of something. If I keep staying like this, even if I return to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion one day, I will most likely be stupid.
Is this what the emperor is thinking about? If you want to choose a new eighth princess for the eighth prince, there is no need to go to such trouble."
"Sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, you won't be stupid even if I lock you up for ten or eight years." He Xiaobai obviously didn't want to answer Lu Zhiyao's question, so he told Li Ming a few dish names and asked Li Ming to cook them for him.
Get some good wine and good food.
Lu Zhiyao felt uneasy, because in her opinion, Lin Yixiang was the only one who could not be the emperor! Lin Yinan had no reason to see things turn out like this without stopping him. What was going on?
Li Ming did not dare to disobey He Xiaobai's words, and soon only Lu Zhiyao and He Xiaobai were left here.
The two of them stood and sat together. Lu Zhiyao stood in the middle of the room, his eyes occasionally glancing at the door that she had been unable to escape from.
"I remember Lao Ba is a very smart man. Why did he choose you?"
He Xiaobai's question made Lu Zhiyao curl his lips indifferently. After being locked up here for so many days, he could count on both hands what the old man said to her, and none of them was pleasant. Lu Zhiyao was used to hearing cynicism and so on.
What's more, she never thought she was smart in front of Lin Yinan.
"Do you know him?" It doesn't matter whether you belong or not, the etiquette and rules should still be followed.
He Xiaobai seemed to have recalled some happy memories. He chuckled twice and replied, "How could I not recognize him?"
Lu Zhiyao then thought about it and realized that he was right. He was stupid for asking. Since he was the emperor's confidant, why didn't he know the emperor's son?
"Have you ever played chess with him?" This time it was He Xiaobai who asked Lu Zhiyao.
"I did." Lu Zhiyao answered honestly.
"Ever win?"
"No..." Although he was a little reluctant, Lu Zhiyao still said.
He Xiaobai was very satisfied with Lu Zhiyao's answer and took it for granted. "His chess game was taught by me. It would be strange to me if he really lost to a yellow-haired girl like you."
Lu Zhiyao originally planned to leave, but turned back after hearing these words. He walked to He Xiaobai and looked at him with doubtful eyes. In this way, his relationship with Lin Yinan should be regarded as
Not bad?
He Xiaobai raised his head and stared sharply into Lu Zhiyao's eyes. "Don't think about getting close to me here."
Some words died in Lu Zhiyao's stomach before he could say them out.
"Sit down and play chess with me."
Playing chess seems to be He Xiaobai's favorite thing to do. Every time Lu Zhiyao sees him, he seems to see him sitting here studying the chessboard non-stop.
Without resistance, Lu Zhiyao sat down obediently. Idle time is idle, and it is always good to kill some time.
Lu Zhiyao plays chess as she pleases. Every game she plays will be different from the previous ones. There is no routine at all. This is what gives Lin Yinan a headache. And Lu Zhiyao has no idea why he will lose every time.
The other party remembered it very clearly, and it would be difficult for her to make that mistake again next time. Therefore, Lin Yinan had to waste a lot of time every time he played chess with her, and had to keep guessing the little things in her head.
Mind. If you neglect one step, you will lose miserably.
After two games, He Xiaobai also discovered this situation. His gaze towards Lu Zhiyao changed slightly. He casually chatted with Lu Zhiyao and asked, "Are you the daughter of the prime minister's family?"
"Yes, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family."
Lu Zhiyao was a bit provocative and mocking when he talked about his identity. He Xiaobai thought of some rumors he had heard before, and the corner of his mouth curled up. "I heard that it was the eighth prince who went to the emperor to propose to marry him.
you?"
Lu Zhiyao also knew a little bit about this matter. At that time, she only thought that Lin Yinan married her because of all the rumors flying around outside. Later, she was "punished" by Lin Yinan twice because of this matter, and she was made to face up to Lin Yinan's treatment of her.
attitude.
"The Eighth Prince is a good man."
He Xiaobai's hand trembled, and the chess piece landed on the chessboard a few seconds later.
"So in your eyes, where is the Seventh Prince?"
"Of course he is not as good as the Eighth Prince. Otherwise, why would you, Mr. He, teach the Eighth Prince chess instead of the Seventh Prince?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile. If she remembered correctly, Lin Yixiang also played against her.
She has never won in chess. However, it is possible that Lin Yixiang hid it too well, otherwise she would not have been deceived so miserably in the first place.
The room became quiet again, and no one said a word until Li Ming came back.
Li Ming was shocked when he returned to the room and saw the two people sitting together. He had seen the two people fighting with his own eyes, and the eighth princess seemed to be getting more and more aggressive in recent times.
He is becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Quickly trotting to the two of them, Li Ming said with a smile: "The food is back, it's time to eat."
Lu Zhiyao's eyes lit up when he saw the food. He lost the chess game absentmindedly. After eating, he planned to go back to his room. But he didn't want He Xiaobai to say such a sentence.
"It's time for the Emperor to let you go back."
Lu Zhiyao turned around to look at him in surprise, and Li Ming also looked at He Xiaobai who said this blankly. Not understanding what He Xiaobai meant, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and walked back to the room. Thinking of Lin Yinan, thinking of Lin Yixiang, thinking
Watching the fight outside.
Lin Yixiang disappeared suddenly. Everyone who wanted to find him went to Prince Luo's Mansion, but no one saw him. At this time, Lin Yixiang was in the palace, in front of Lin Yunlong.
When Lin Yinan met Xuanyuan Junfan, he had almost figured out the whole thing. "During this period, the prince must have received a lot of benefits in Xia Lai Kingdom, right? The prince and Prince Luo have given them all.
How old are you?"
Xuanyuan Junfan smiled and did not deny it. "People in your country are very generous, especially the princes. I am very happy to make a deal with you."
"So the emperor has now taken the antidote that Lin Yixiang got from you. Is he okay?"
"The Eighth Prince asked me last time if I had an antidote. I thought the person coming to see me would be you, the Eighth Prince. I never expected that it would be Prince Luo."
Lin Yixiang has always been by Lin Yichen's side, keeping silent and doing nothing major, but he is not an existence that can be ignored. Even though many people have doubted Lin Yixiang's motives for following the prince, over the years, Lin Yixiang has always been concerned about it.
The prince is so loyal that he even goes out in person to confront his own brother. All of this is enough to prove that he wants to assist the prince. In addition, he married Nangong Nuo'er, so who could have expected Lin Yichen's final good deeds
Will he be defeated by Lin Yixiang?
"The prince's people have already evacuated from the city. How did he find you, the prince? Don't you doubt it?"
"Of course you can guess it. You heard it from that woman Liu Yiyu, right?" Xuanyuan Junfan sat next to Lin Yinan and said slowly: "I didn't want to hide at first, but Lin Yixiang can find me, so he should have found me.
It took many places to do it. I heard that the relationship between Liu Yiyu and Prince Luo is unusual, and this woman's mouth is not reliable, so it is very likely that she told Lin Yixiang how to find me."
"Since you know her mouth is not reliable, why did you let her come back alive?" Lin Yinan and Xuanyuan Junfan sat face to face and asked.
"People who are unreliable are also useful. Otherwise, how would we get the information we want to know?" Xuanyuan Junfan had no intention of telling Lin Yinan about Liu Yiyu anymore. Anyway, he had already decided to abandon that person and would not return.
Saved. "I came to see the Eighth Prince today because of an appointment I made before. I wonder if the Eighth Prince has time now to let me take a good look at your 'disease'?"
Lin Yinan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. Xuanyuan Junfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took Lin Yinan's pulse again with a solemn expression, and took out a row of silver needles, hoping to prove what he had thought before.
The two stayed in the room for a long time, and by the time Su Mozi found out, Xuanyuan Junfan had already stopped.
Su Mozi glared at Xuanyuan Junfan with hostility, secretly scolding Lin Yinan for his boldness. But Xuanyuan Junfan didn't pay much attention to her eyes, but looked at Lin Yinan with a deep and complicated gaze. After looking at it for a while, he opened his mouth.
Mouth, asked: "I wonder who put the poison in the Eighth Prince's body?"
"emperor."
"To be honest, the Eighth Prince, the poison in your body is extremely tricky. Although it has been mixed with several other poisons, I can still confirm that the poison that can endanger your life comes from our Qingming Kingdom.
of."
After Xuanyuan Junfan finished speaking, the expressions of Lin Yinan and Su Mozi changed slightly. Mo Tianshu felt the same way, so he has been in Qingming Kingdom, trying to find an antidote for Lin Yinan.
"The toxin has been in your body for many years. It is impossible to detoxify it in a short time."
"So, Prince Xuanyuan has a way to detoxify our eighth prince?" Su Mozi followed Mo Tianshu all over the country before. He also visited Qingming Kingdom many times, so of course he recognized Xuanyuan Junfan.
"Sorry, I can't do anything." Xuanyuan Junfan's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly. "I can tell that this poison came from Qingming Kingdom because the situation of the Eighth Prince is very similar to what I have seen in books before. But
I have never seen that poison. In Qingming Kingdom, it is a poison that can only be heard from the mouths of old people. If you want to detoxify this poison, you must find the legendary Golden Ningcao and the person who even I
Only those who have never seen it can do it. Eighth Prince, let me ask more, how did you offend your father and make him have the heart to do such a cruel thing to you?"
