Lu Zhiyao didn't know how long he had been squatting there, but when he stood up again, his body was stiff.
Walking back to their residence step by step, Wan Yue and Yu Die both thought that she and Lin Yinan would not come back, so they fell asleep beforehand.
Lu Zhiyao sat weakly on the chair, lit the candle and looked around the room where he was.
Gorgeous, strange, and it seemed like she was never supposed to live there.
After a sleepless night, when the servants came in the next morning, they were shocked to see Lu Zhiyao like that.
Lu Zhiyao glanced sideways at the frightened little maid. She must have been sent here by Lin Yinan later, and she was not familiar with it.
"It's nothing, just go out. If I don't call you, no one can come in."
Lu Zhiyao gave the order, stood up unsteadily and walked to the bed to lie down.
His head hurt terribly. He didn't close his eyes all night, but he was still awake and not sleepy. Lu Zhiyao lay there curled up. He didn't eat, drink or talk for a whole day, which scared Wan Yue and Yu Die so much that their faces turned pale.
So she went to find Lin Yinan, but unfortunately, everything was no longer the same as before. She was not the eighth princess, and he was not the eighth prince. She was sad, but he didn't come either.
No one knows what happened between these two people, because Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang left early.
Lin Yinan didn't go to see Lu Zhiyao, and Lu Zhiyao stayed in the house without showing up. The servants around them all noticed something was wrong, but no one could do anything to help.
Lu Zhiyao was waiting, hoping, confused, and aggrieved. She tried to hate Qi Ran, but she couldn't do it. Because that person was none other than her mother. She had wanted to give everything the best to her since she was born.
Everything she had was given to her. So all she could do was hate herself, hate herself for letting Lin Yinan know her identity, hate herself for insisting on staying there, wanting to hear the truth she wanted.
"My dear, my health is very important, so I'd better eat something."
Yudie and Wan Yue came to Lu Zhiyao again, looking at the thin figure on the bed, feeling extremely distressed. If they had known that this would happen, why would they have entered the palace? How good is the life in the Eight Emperors Palace?
When have you ever seen Madam so sad?
Lu Zhiyao's face was expressionless, but he remembered something.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at her belly. What would happen if Lin Yinan knew that she was pregnant at this time?
Lu Zhiyao thought about it, and then laughed at himself. The smile hurt Wan Yue and Yu Die's eyes, but Lu Zhiyao actually got out of bed and ate what they brought.
She never took a step out of the room, and Lu Zhiyao did not allow anyone except Wan Yue and Yu Die to step in. Even Lin Ruoxue was turned away by her.
The days passed without any changes. Lin Yinan did not come, Lu Zhiyao did not leave, and the sweetness when he entered the palace on the first day was gone. There was only alienation, and the inability to accept it in his heart.
"Sister, it's not good!" It was late at night, and Lu Zhiyao had just walked to the door of the room to take a breath, but he heard Wan Yue's panicked and crying voice.
"What are you doing in such a panic? Don't disturb me until I take a rest!" Yudie asked Wan Yue reproachfully, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you hear? I heard from other servants that the emperor has brought the second young lady of the Xia family into the palace, and seems to want to make her the queen?"
"Which second young lady of the Xia family? You're talking nonsense...! How is that possible?!"
Yudie grabbed Wanyue's collar and pulled her away from Lu Zhiyao's door. She glanced at Lu Zhiyao's room worriedly. After she was far away, she anxiously asked what happened.
"Really sister, the emperor has arranged for Miss Xia to stay at the place where Concubine Ning used to live. Have you heard about Concubine Ning's position in the late emperor's heart? The emperor did not choose any other place, so he sent her there.
,What's the meaning?"
Lu Zhiyao pressed her hand on the door bolt, and after a while she chuckled.
Besides Xia Han, who else could be the second young lady of the Xia family?
It turned out that this was the answer she had been waiting for for several days, the answer he gave her.
Queen? Well, this is what she owes Xia Han, and it can be regarded as what she owes him.
Lu Zhiyao turned around, no longer wanting to go out. Sitting back at the table, she had nothing to do. After sitting there for a long time, she took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started drawing one after another.
Scenes of scenes with Lin Yinan flashed through her mind quickly, from the first conversation on the street to every subsequent contact.
The only thing she can draw well is bamboo. She can only draw bamboo.
Pieces of paper fell from the table to the ground. Unconsciously, dozens of paintings were piled up at her feet.
Yudie opened the door and was startled for a moment when she looked at Lu Zhiyao who was sitting next to the weak candlelight. Then she strode over and said distressedly: "Why haven't you rested yet?!"
When she got closer to Lu Zhiyao and saw clearly what she was doing and the paintings at her feet, Yudie couldn't help crying.
What happened? Why did Lu Zhiyao torture himself like this?!
Yudie wiped her tears with some excitement. Then, she saw a small baggage that had been packed on the bed. She subconsciously determined that it was Lu Zhiyao's luggage. Yudie opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Zhiyao.
, asked: "Where are you going?!"
As soon as Yudie asked her question, Lu Zhiyao disappeared from the chair and came behind her.
"Yudie, it's my fault for bringing you into the palace, but I think he won't embarrass you." Lu Zhiyao covered Yudie's mouth with his hand and whispered to her: "For me
Give him a message, Xia Yao will definitely pay back whatever he owes him."
Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and said these words, and knocked Yudie unconscious. Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath, picked up his luggage and left the room.
The sky was extremely cold after it snowed, and the cool breeze blew across Lu Zhiyao's face. She turned around and took a deep look at everything in the house, and then walked forward resolutely without looking back.
Since this place does not belong to her, there is no need to stay any longer.
Without the watchful eyes of Su Shi's masters, it was not difficult for Lu Zhiyao to leave the palace. He went straight to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. When Lu Zhiyao saw the horse in the stable, she smiled knowingly.
This might be fate, she thought to herself.
If Lu Zhiyao remembers correctly, this horse should belong to Lin Mubai. It is Lin Mubai's treasure. It was sent to the Eight Emperors Mansion to borrow from Lin Yinan and never asked for it back. Lu Zhiyao originally held it in his arms.
I tentatively wanted to see if it was still there, if it had been brought into the palace, but fortunately, it hadn't.
Lu Zhiyao didn't think too much. He led the horse out of the Eight Emperors Mansion like a thief, jumped on the horse's back and left Juechen.
She didn't know that Su Shi and Mu Ranchen were sleeping soundly in the Eight Emperors Mansion at the moment, otherwise she would never have come so boldly. And the two people who had worked hard for many days would never have imagined that Lu Zhiyao could be so easy
He walked away under their noses, and it took so long...
Li Muchen went back to Feihe Tower after Lin Yinan ascended the throne. He had been left there for too long and he needed to go back. Su Mozi also left the city to do his own business, and Chu Ziqian returned to the eldest son of the Chu family.
With their identities in mind, Su Shi and Mu Ranchen were left to continue running errands for Lin Yinan. When they were tired, they came back here to rest.
There were no servants or guards in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, and the direction of the stables was completely opposite to Su Shi's room, so when they found out that the horse was missing and Lu Zhiyao was gone, it was too late.
There is a reason why Lin Yunlong regards that horse as his treasure. In Xia Lai Kingdom, there is no horse that can run faster than that horse.
When Su Shi woke up in the morning and planned to go out of the city, he found that the horse was missing. His first reaction was to find it interesting.
At this time, who else dares to steal something from the current emperor?
Returning to the room, he smiled and told Mu Ranchen about the incident. The two of them entered the palace as if they were watching a show, wanting to see Lin Yinan's reaction.
They knew about the conflict between Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao, but they didn't think it was that serious. After all, they had seen what they had experienced and how important they were to each other. But after entering the palace,
They discovered that in just one night, earth-shaking changes had taken place.
After Yudie woke up, she could no longer find any trace of Lu Zhiyao. Thinking of everything last night, she came to Lin Yinan crying. When Su Shi and the others arrived, Yudie and Lihua brought rain.
He also cried and told Lin Yinan that Lu Zhiyao was gone.
Lin Yinan had just finished his morning service and had not yet had time to take off his clothes. The words Yudie said made him tense up in his chair and he froze there.
"Oops!" Su Shi whispered, suddenly guessing who stole the fast horse. He quickly told Lin Yinan about the lost horse. Su Shi asked him in confusion: "What are you two doing?
What are you playing with?"
Mu Ranchen hit Su Shi with his elbow for not paying attention to the atmosphere, and then heard Lin Yinan's slow and deep voice.
"Look for her, dig deep in the ground, and find her."
Although Su Shi and Mu Ranchen didn't know what happened, they knew something serious was going on at this time.
"Yudie, did she say anything before she knocked you out?" Lin Yinan lowered his head and asked Yudie.
"The empress said...she asked the slave to bring a message to the emperor."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yinan slowly closed his eyes.
"The empress said, 'Xia Yao will definitely pay back what she owes him.'"
Lin Yinan took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his heart. He was still sitting there, but his face had changed. He became pale, weak, with a bit of anger, and panic because he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
.
"Send the order and seal all the checkpoints going abroad to the Qingming Kingdom. No one will be allowed to pass, no matter who they are!"
Su Shi and Mu Ranchen hurriedly went to convey his message, but they were already one night late. How could they possibly stop Lu Zhiyao who wanted to leave?!
