As soon as Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao's actions, he understood that she had no idea what was going on. He swallowed his anger and led people back to the capital and the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. Lin Yinan entered the study alone, and Lu Zhiyao couldn't bear the sight of her leaving in a hurry.
Self-examination, she made Lin Yixiang so embarrassed before, was it right or wrong?
Not long after the two people left, Lin Yixiang, who was already embarrassed, also brought the exhausted Nangong Nuo'er back to the capital. Lu Zhiyao's appearance kept reappearing in his mind, which made him upset. Fortunately, the emperor was here
Shi sent someone to summon him into the palace, so that Lin Yixiang, who had something to do, could divert all his attention.
Lin Yunlong didn't have anything important to do with Lin Yixiang. He just heard that someone was kidnapping a prisoner on the road, so he came to him to ask what happened. After hearing Lin Yixiang's summary of what happened, Lin Yunlong asked thoughtfully: "Old man
Didn’t Ba go over to help you?”
It's okay not to mention Lin Yinan, but when he mentions Lin Yinan, Lin Yixiang gets angry.
"Eighth brother sent people to repel the enemy. Eighth brother contributed a lot." Lin Yixiang said the facts, facts that made him extremely dissatisfied.
"That's good. You can go back. There are still many people in the court waiting to be cleared. I still need the help of you two brothers. In a few days, I will hold a celebration banquet for you."
The reality is so cruel. There are not many people who really care about the dead, especially outsiders who are not close to them. The fact that Lin Yixiang executed Nangong Lingfeng on orders changed the views of many ministers in the court towards him.
I have to admit that the emperor's sons are indeed good. Nangong Lingfeng has been an official in the court for so many years, and many people have tried to remove him but they have been unable to do anything. As soon as the two brothers Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang cooperated, the matter was solved.
And not only did Nangong Lingfeng die, but the prince who had been living in the prince palace and had the chance to become the heir apparent had to move out of the palace where he had lived for many years and lost the title of prince.
The emperor released his control over Lin Yichen and Nangong Liu Xi on the second day after Nangong Lingfeng's death, and withdrew all the people who had been arranged around them, as if nothing had happened, allowing the palace to regain peace.
.
On the day Nangong Lingfeng died, Lin Yichen asked Luo Yunzheng to rescue people. But no matter how powerful Luo Yunzheng was, he would be unable to fight back when he was surrounded by Su Shi and others. Once again
After being chased and beaten by several young men and suffering a loss, Luo Yuncheng kept this grudge firmly in his heart and came back to report to Lin Yichen with an expressionless face, making Lin Yichen give up.
Lin Yichen felt a void in his heart when he learned that Nangong Lingfeng had been killed. He didn't step out of the room for a long time. Luo Yuncheng looked at the little prince who had lost his backer and couldn't say anything.
No matter how powerful Luo Yuncheng is, he can't accomplish anything by himself. What's more, Lin Yinan has so many capable minions, so from this point of view, Lin Yichen undoubtedly has no chance of winning.
After learning all this, Luo Yunzheng also felt a little helpless. It was indeed a pity that the Nangong family was gone like this.
The always strong Nangong Nuo'er collapsed after returning to Prince Luo's Mansion and was bedridden for several days. Lin Yixiang chose not to step into that room after visiting her twice. In this way, even the Mansion before
Lu Zhiqing, who had been ignored by all the slaves, seemed to have hope again.
Lu Zhiqing had gone through so many things and tribulations. When Lin Yixiang walked into her room again, she was no longer as naive as before. She really felt that she would be the real mistress of the palace from now on. Lin Yixiang killed General Nangong
She has heard about the incident. Although the relationship between Nangong Nuoer and Lin Yixiang will definitely not be the same as before, and Nangong Nuoer may even be divorced, Lin Yixiang's status is different now. He is not only the prince,
He is still the crown prince. Such a man will never be short of women, nor will he keep a woman by his side who cannot take care of him.
Lu Zhiqing has a family background but no appearance. Nangong Nuoer now has appearance but no background. So Lu Zhiqing can guess that there will be another happy event in Prince Luo's mansion soon. But he doesn't know which family's daughter will marry him.
"Your Majesty hasn't been to my place for a long time, why are you in the mood to come here today?" Lu Zhiqing asked softly.
"Huh? Are you picking on me?"
"Your Majesty is joking, how dare I." Lu Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled, "I know that Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, but I am clumsy and can't say anything to please Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to come to my place to relax, I'm afraid..."
"You also said that you are stupid, why didn't I notice it?" Lin Yixiang smiled slightly, "It seems that we haven't returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, right?"
"That's true. Does the prince want to accompany me back for a visit?" Lu Zhiqing asked expectantly, but in her heart she was wondering, does Lin Yixiang have something he wants to discuss with his father?
"Okay, it's better to choose a different day. Let's leave now?"
Lu Zhiqing opened her eyes in surprise, nodded, and after dressing up a little, she followed Lin Yixiang out. When the servants in the mansion saw the two of them going out one after another, and then leaving the palace in a sedan, they all
I couldn't help but talk talkatively in private.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, both Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong were there. Lu Zhiqing took Ye Lianrong's arm knowingly and walked away, allowing Lin Yixiang to talk to Lu Yuanzheng alone. But she thought wrong again. Lin Yixiang did have something to talk to Lu Yuanzheng when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He said that, but he was not talking about the official affairs of the court, but about Lu Zhiyao.
Ever since he came back from the execution ground that day, what Lu Zhiyao said to Lin Yixiang often echoed in his mind. Even when he was dreaming, Lin Yixiang would dream about Xia Yao and these two
The woman slowly becomes a person.
This kind of dream made Lin Yixiang feel ridiculous, but he had to say that there were many strange things about Lu Zhiyao. Lin Yixiang once asked Lu Zhiqing about Lu Zhiyao, and in order to confirm, he came to see Lu Yuanzheng.
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Prince Luo, who had been in the limelight recently, and smiled faintly. Lu Yuanzheng had already decided on his position, and he had no intention of changing it. Like Lu Zhiqing, Lu Yuanzheng also thought that Lin Yixiang came to him because of
But when Lin Yixiang opened his mouth about the court affairs, Lu Yuanzheng realized that it was not what he thought.
"When did the Eighth Princess start practicing martial arts?"
The first sentence Lin Yixiang asked made Lu Yuanzheng stunned. When did Lu Zhiyao practice martial arts? This is what Lu Yuanzheng wants to know!
"This..." Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lin Yixiang in embarrassment and answered the question: "Why did the prince think of asking this?"
"Master Xiang, just answer, I want to know."
Lu Yuanzheng frowned and sighed secretly, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had caused some trouble to offend Prince Luo. "Zhiyao had never practiced martial arts at home. He should have been taught by the Eighth Prince after he married into the Eighth Emperor's Mansion.
"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Lin Yixiang's eyes darkened and his heart beat twice faster.
"this……"
"Has the Eighth Princess had any dealings with Xia Zhenkun's daughter before? I heard that her relationship with that Xia Yao seems to be good?"
Lu Yuanzheng covered up his uneasiness with a smile. He didn't know how to answer Lin Yixiang's question. If he said no, he was afraid that this was not the answer Lin Yixiang wanted. If he said yes, he was afraid that it would be detrimental to Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan.
Lu Yuanzheng's brief silence made Lin Yixiang even more suspicious, "Why, doesn't even the prime minister know about his daughter?"
"It makes the prince laugh. I am only busy with the political affairs of the court and I really don't care much about the affairs at home." In desperation, Lu Yuanzheng could only follow Lin Yixiang's words.
Lin Yixiang's topic never left Lu Zhiyao's mind, and he chatted with Lu Yuanzheng for a long time. It wasn't until Lu Yuanzheng's scalp was numb with questions that he couldn't answer, and Lin Yixiang left the Prime Minister's Mansion full of doubts.
Lu Yuanzheng immediately sent people to the Eight Emperors Mansion after Lin Yixiang left and told Lin Yinan about the matter. After hearing this, Lin Yinan said calmly that he understood, but there was already a wave of confusion in his heart.
Sure enough, Lin Yixiang couldn't let go of Xia Yao's matter.
At this time, Lu Zhiyao didn't know that Lin Yixiang was secretly investigating her. After getting rid of Nangong Lingfeng, the pressure in his heart was relieved. He felt quite good staying in the Eight Emperors Mansion every day, leisurely and at ease.
"Madam, the water is boiled. When will you take a bath?"
"Now." Lu Zhiyao raised his head and said to Wan Yue, put down the book in his hand and stood up, walked behind the screen and took off his clothes, then got into the bathtub and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Madam, the master seems to go to the palace a lot recently." Wan Yue was busy on the side, chatting with Lu Zhiyao. "I have been out shopping with my mother for the past two days, and I can hear the people in the city discussing.
What about the Eighth Prince and Prince Luo?"
"Oh? What did they say?" Lu Zhiyao closed his eyes and asked with interest.
Wan Yue heard Lu Zhiyao's question and quickly ran to the bathtub to massage her shoulders and replied: "I only heard a few words. Some of them said that Prince Luo will become the emperor soon, and the eighth prince will do the same in the future.
He became a prince. He also said that the Eighth Prince contributed a lot to why Prince Luo is what he is today!"
"Wanyue, you can eat this thing indiscriminately, but you can't say it indiscriminately, do you understand?" Lu Zhiyao smiled jokingly, Lin Yixiang became the emperor? He couldn't even dream of it!
"I know, I only dare to say this in front of you, madam." Wan Yue stuck out her tongue, and she could tell that Lu Zhiyao was unhappy. She gently touched the warm water to Lu Zhiyao's body. Suddenly, Wan Yue
He stopped what he was doing, looked intently at a place on Lu Zhiyao's back, and sighed: "I didn't notice it before, but it turns out there is such a beautiful thing on Madam's back."
Lu Zhiyao suddenly froze and his expression froze. She slowly turned back to look at Wan Yue and asked, "What's on my back?"
