Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian walked back, wandered for a while while passing by the busy city, and went to a restaurant owned by the Chu family to eat something. Lu Zhiyao was satisfied.
Chu Ziqian knew that Lu Zhiyao was not a peaceful person, and it was not in her temperament to stay at home honestly. Just because the situation in Beijing was too complicated now, she couldn't do whatever she wanted, so he went with her.
.
Lin Yixiang hurried back to the capital after finishing his work. His eyes darkened when he saw Chu Ziqian and Lu Zhiyao walking side by side. Sure enough, this Chu Ziqian did not go to the appointment.
Lu Zhiyao strolled around, passing several Chu's and Gu's shops, talking to Chu Ziqian in a low voice.
"How's the Gu family's business going lately?"
"It's almost the same as when Gu Ran was alive. Thanks to you, Mrs. Gu is also very cooperative."
Lu Zhiyao killed Gu Shi in front of Li Yuzhen. Now Li Yuzhen still trembles all over and is so scared when she thinks back to that time. In addition, her life is really good now. She just pretends to act every day.
There is an endless supply of delicious and useful things. Chu Ziqian never restricted her how much money she had to spend every month. Li Yuzhen did not dare to be too presumptuous because of her uneasiness, and was very satisfied with the current situation. So the Gu family's business grew day by day.
Things got better, and Li Yuzhen's name became bigger and bigger day by day in the capital, becoming well known to everyone.
They only knew that the wife of the Gu family supported the Gu family alone after all the master's sons and brother-in-law died. She had a hard life and defeated so many people, but she really had some ability. So the rumors at the beginning
Gradually, there were more and more voices of praise and admiration. But no one knew that everything the Gu family is today is due to the Chu family, and no one knew that all the money earned by the Gu family fell into the pockets of the Chu family.
, and the Eight Imperial Palaces.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was about to arrive. Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian had just mentioned Li Yuzhen when they spotted Li Yuzhen in front of them.
Li Yuzhen would visit various shops every day and then go back. When she came out of a shop, she saw a familiar person within a few steps.
When she recognized that the person was Lu Zhiyao, a look of horror suddenly appeared on her face. She staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the slave behind her helped her.
Lu Zhiyao smiled when he saw Li Yuzhen's reaction and walked directly towards her. When he killed Gu Shi, Lu Zhiyao did not change his appearance because he believed that Li Yuzhen did not know him and had little chance to see him, so he
It didn't take that time.
"Mrs. Gu, are you okay?" Lu Zhiyao said softly, but Li Yuzhen trembled all over.
The servant standing behind Li Yuzhen frowned when he saw this scene. He didn't know Lu Zhiyao, but Chu Ziqian did.
"Master Chu, what do you want from our wife?"
"Shut up!" Li Yuzhen didn't wait for Chu Ziqian to say anything, turned around and scolded the shopkeeper sternly. "Is it your turn to speak here?"
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help laughing at Li Yuzhen's aura as head of the family, and Chu Ziqian also twitched his lips. After all, she is a wife of a wealthy family, and her expected aura has been formed over many years. This cannot be deceived, and there is no need to pretend to be.
Chu Ziqian stood with his hands behind his back, standing next to Lu Zhiyao, leaning forward slightly, leaning next to Li Yuzhen's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know who she is?"
Li Yuzhen nodded slightly, then shook her head violently.
"Okay, don't scare her." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and said to Chu Ziqian: "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Chu Ziqian and Lu Zhiyao left. Li Yuzhen stood there for a long time before she regained her original shape, and her face became rosy again.
She hadn't seen Lu Zhiyao for such a long time, but the way Lu Zhiyao killed people without blinking an eye was deeply engraved in Li Yuzhen's mind. She took a deep breath and walked towards the next shop under the strange gaze of the servants.
Lin Yixiang, who had witnessed everything, felt something was wrong when he saw Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian talking to Li Yuzhen. After Lu Zhiyao and the other two left, he followed Li Yuzhen and took Li Yuzhen at a corner with few people.
It was stopped.
Li Yuzhen, who was frightened one after another, couldn't help but scream. Lin Yixiang knocked down her accompanying minion, looked at the head of the Gu family coldly, and asked: "Do you know the identity of the woman who just spoke to you?
"
Li Yuzhen looked around in panic, unable to find anyone who could save her. With a forced smile, she kept backing up, "I don't understand what this young master is talking about."
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me." Lin Yixiang smiled coldly, refusing to accept her trick. "No wonder the Gu family's business has been booming recently. It turns out that the Eighth Princess is secretly helping. Since you
If you know the Eighth Princess, don't you know who I am?"
"Eight, Eighth Imperial Concubine?!" Li Yuzhen took a breath and almost lost her breath when she heard these three words.
"Why, you don't know her identity?" Lin Yixiang looked at Li Yuzhen doubtfully, feeling more and more suspicious about this matter.
Li Yuzhen swallowed her saliva. How could she guess Lu Zhiyao's identity? The Eighth Imperial Concubine? These three words have nothing to do with murderer!
"Young Master, have you admitted the wrong person?" Li Yuzhen was almost scared to tears. It would not be a good thing to have a relationship with that woman. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and keep going like this.
Lin Yixiang didn't say much else and took him directly back to Prince Luo's Mansion. When Li Yuzhen saw the mansion in front of her and listened to the guards calling the man in front of her "Prince", she wished she could faint right now.
have no idea.
After being "invited" into the room by Lin Yixiang, Li Yuzhen was uneasy, not knowing what was going to happen and how she should deal with it.
This man is Prince Luo, so what he just said must be true! Prince Luo's Mansion, the Eight Emperors' Mansion, think about it, neither one of them is something that a commoner like her can afford to offend.
Lin Yixiang entered the bedroom between him and Nangong Nuo'er because of habit and anxiety. Nangong Nuo'er was resting in the room with her eyes closed. When she heard the door rang, she opened her eyes and unexpectedly saw Lin Yixiang bringing a middle-aged woman with him.
Back.
Lin Yixiang realized his mistake when he saw Nangong Nuo'er, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Nangong Nuo'er's teasing voice.
"Hoho? When did the prince change his taste?"
It is true that Li Yuzhen is no longer a pretty girl, but her charm is still there.
"Don't talk nonsense, I just brought her here for questioning!" Lin Yixiang frowned and turned around.
"Really? It doesn't matter. Do you want me to make room for the prince?" With that said, Nangong Nuoer stood up from the rocking chair and made a gesture to walk out.
"No need." Lin Yixiang snorted coldly, grabbed Li Yuzhen's clothes and walked out.
Nangong Nuoer stood stiffly for a while, then sat back on the rocking chair. She closed her eyes, which were already a little wet, and calmed down her emotions.
Lin Yixiang took Li Yuzhen to another room and continued to ask him what he had asked before.
Why did Lu Zhiyao meet Li Yuzhen? Li Yuzhen didn't know Lu Zhiyao's identity, so what was Lu Zhiyao's purpose in finding her? Are the several previous murders in the Gu family related to Lu Zhiyao?
Li Yuzhen listened to Lin Yixiang's questions and couldn't answer any of them. She didn't dare to tell the truth, nor did she dare to tell lies.
"Your Majesty." With a pop, Li Yuzhen knelt on the ground. "I'm just a commoner. I really don't know anything. Please let me go!"
After kowtowing several times, Li Yuzhen begged.
"I just asked you a few questions. If you answer them honestly, you will return home safely and safely. I also promise that I will not mention the meeting with you today again. If you don't answer,
…”
Li Yuzhen gritted her teeth, how should she answer this?
Not knowing what to do, Li Yuzhen was terrified. Lin Yixiang had plenty of time to rely on her. He first sent his slaves out and sent the two slaves who had been knocked unconscious by him to the Huihu Mansion, and then told the people in the Gu Mansion that their wife
Now he is a guest at Prince Luo's house, so he told them not to worry.
In this way, Li Yuzhen stayed at Prince Luo's Mansion until dark. There was no official report from the Gu family, and no one came out to look for her.
No matter how good-tempered Lin Yixiang was during this period, Li Yuzhen knew well that they were all royal heirs, who could really have a good temper? She could either make her attitude clear and refuse to say anything, otherwise it would keep dragging on like this.
Just don't know what's good or bad.
Constantly weighing the status of the Eighth Emperor's Palace and Prince Luo's Palace in her mind, Li Yuzhen finally compromised.
No matter what, the Prince Luo in front of him is the crown prince and the future emperor. His status is naturally higher than that of the eighth prince.
"Your Majesty, if the common people tell you the truth, then..."
"Don't worry, I will keep you safe." Lin Yixiang suppressed the impatience in his eyes, interrupted Li Yuzhen with a smile, and gave her the answer she wanted.
Li Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, and then told Lin Yixiang the general story of the matter in a confused state of mind.
The more Lin Yixiang listened, the more shocked he became, that Lu Zhiyao would actually do such a thing? According to Li Yuzhen, wouldn't the Gu family's business belong to Lin Yinan? In addition to the Chu family, do the math, what exactly does Lin Yinan do now?
How much wealth does he have? What is his purpose for doing this?
After Li Yuzhen finished what she had to say, she didn't see any reaction from Lin Yixiang for a long time. Just when she thought Lin Yixiang was going to get angry, Lin Yixiang suddenly said: "I will send someone to take you back."
Li Yuzhen returned to the Gu Mansion without any danger. As soon as she entered her room, she collapsed on the ground. After recalling everything she had experienced today, Li Yuzhen felt that a disaster was imminent. She could already foresee her own death.
After thinking about it, Li Yuzhen decided to take all her belongings and leave here, leave the capital, and escape to a place where no one knows her!
