The Prime Minister, who usually not only speaks but also makes it difficult for others to find flaws in his every move in front of people, behaved like this today. This made Lin Yinan have to feel that his trip was indeed not in vain.
"Ling Yi, you go over and take a look, I'm going back first." Lin Yinan withdrew his gaze, changed his previous plan, and said to the people around him: "Pay attention, if those two people get together, if they are discovered,
You feel good."
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, go over in person to hear the purpose of the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince coming here?"
"I'm sure they're here, so I know for sure." Lin Yinan smiled slightly, showing a bit of laziness and arrogance. Then he disappeared in a flash.
Lu Zhiyao was imprisoned in the woodshed. As the wooden door was slammed shut, Lu Zhiyao's tense body relaxed a little. A few sarcastic words that made matters worse came from the servant who had not gone far.
, finally floated into Lu Zhiyao's ears. But Lu Zhiyao didn't care. He only thought about the name he just heard. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Lu Zhiyao cheered up.
He glanced around where she was.
Lu Zhiyao sat weakly on the ground and smiled to himself. She was not disappointed with Lu Yuanzheng's performance today. But compared to her disappointment, Lu Zhiyao was more willing to believe that her future situation would be better.
Slowly getting better. Lu Yuanzheng's confusion will not last forever.
The sky gradually darkened amidst Lu Zhiyao's wild thoughts. In the dirty and messy woodshed, there was no water, food, or bed. Lu Zhiyao could only see clearly what was in front of him through the moonlight outside the window.
things, but they also have to withstand the cold wind blowing in from the window.
It was late at night, quiet and sleepless. Lu Zhiyao hugged her thin body and huddled in the corner, looking out the window firmly. She thought a lot, but she never thought that Lu Yuanzheng would kill her alive.
Leave it here for three days without asking anything.
Lu Zhiyao, who had not eaten or drank a sip of water in three days, had almost reached her limit. The expectations she had for Lu Yuanzheng from the beginning disappeared as time went by.
She can't die here. She still has a lot of important things to do, so she absolutely can't die here.
Lu Zhiyao kept repeating it to himself, then he slowly climbed up from the ground while holding on to the wall, walked to the door and pushed the locked door.
There were still servants outside guarding the first two days, but on this third day, Lu Zhiyao could no longer hear any movement outside. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhiyao's mouth, and she lowered her eyes and thought about what she should do.
Escape from here. If you really escape, how will you face the faces of Lu Yuanzheng, Ye Lianrong, and Lu Zhiqing?
Just when Lu Zhiyao was concentrating on his thoughts, a burst of footsteps suddenly came closer from far away and entered the courtyard. Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to the corner, assuming the same posture as before, looking silently
The door. Hearing the sound of the lock being opened, Lu Zhiyao's bloodshot eyes burst out with a cold chill. Who would come here so late?
The person who opened the door and walked in was someone Lu Zhiyao had never seen before. She originally thought it would be mother and daughter Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing, who wanted to do something to her while no one found out, but...
"Miss, you must be starving!" The middle-aged woman carrying a lantern breathed a sigh of relief obviously after seeing that Lu Zhiyao was still alive. "Wanyue, be smart and watch outside." The woman turned around and shouted at
The girl behind her gave instructions, and after she nodded and walked out of the room, the woman walked up to Lu Zhiyao, placed the lantern at Lu Zhiyao's feet, then took out a few steamed buns and handed them to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the woman warily. She wanted to ask, "Who are you?", but was afraid of arousing suspicion.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Chang Manting looked at Lu Zhiyao staring at her and couldn't help but become a little worried. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Eat something to fill your stomach first. I will continue to ask for help when it gets up.
Master let you out!"
The anxious look on Chang Manting's face made Lu Zhiyao's cold heart feel warm. Looking down at the buns and water in her hand, Lu Zhiyao thought for a while and no longer hesitated.
Under the gaze, he ate the food she brought with some embarrassment.
After eating something, Lu Zhiyao regained some strength. After wiping the corners of his mouth, Lu Zhiyao spoke in a low voice and said softly: "Thank you."
"I'm really wronging you." Chang Manting shook her head helplessly, "It's all my fault. It took me three days to find a chance to come over. I'm really afraid it's too late. Miss, will you..."
As Chang Manting spoke, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Lu Zhiyao was a little surprised when he saw this.
With her identity and status in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could she possibly have loyal servants around her? But the reaction of the woman in front of her didn't seem like she was pretending.
"Miss, I know you are suffering, but..."
"Stop crying." Lu Zhiyao turned away from looking at the tears streaming down Chang Manting's cheeks, "I'm not dead yet."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Chang Manting froze immediately. She looked at Lu Zhiyao blankly, unable to believe that the words just came from Lu Zhiyao's mouth.
"How come you have the key here?" Lu Zhiyao started to ask before she could react.
"It was given by the master." Chang Manting responded to Lu Zhiyao's question conditionedly, and then suddenly came back to her senses. "Miss, don't blame the master for what happened this time. He didn't feel good either. But the second lady is like this
The commotion was so violent that I had no choice but to take this step."
Lu Zhiyao listened calmly to Chang Manting's good words for Lu Yuanzheng. After she finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao smiled coldly and said, "Well, I don't blame him. He is my father and the prime minister, no matter what he does,
Everything is what it should be. Who am I? I am just a superfluous person that everyone in our prime minister's office can scold and roll their eyes at. I don't blame anyone."
Lu Zhiyao's calm tone made Chang Manting immediately panic. She took a breath, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had the idea of committing suicide, and quickly begged: "Miss, you must live well, even if it is just to live."
The deceased lady cannot seek death!"
"Of course I have to live well, otherwise how can I repay them the suffering I have suffered for so many years?!" Lu Zhiyao looked at Chang Manting's eyes full of surprise and said word by word: "For so many years, I have always
I live a cautious life, thinking that I have never wronged anyone. But what did they do to me? I had no intention of harming them, but they forced each other to take my life. How could I not avenge this."
Chang Manting was dumbfounded when Lu Zhiyao spoke with a bit of murderous intent. Is this person really a cowardly and timid young lady who only cries when something happens?
"Since my father asked you to come, did he ask you to bring me anything?" Lu Zhiyao quickly changed the subject, not giving Chang Manting the chance to think too much.
"The master told the young lady to stop provoking the second madam and the second young lady..."
"I never thought about provoking them. My father should know this very well." Now, Lu Zhiyao has somewhat guessed what Lu Yuanzheng was thinking. Just as Lu Zhiyao had thought before
In the same way, in this Prime Minister's Mansion where everyone has their own thoughts, if it weren't for Lu Yuanzheng, he might have died long ago and would not be alive now. However, Lu Yuanzheng's "care" for her daughter is limited to
It's just sneaking around in the middle of the night. It's impossible to ask him to do more.
"People's words are terrible. I can understand that my father can't stand the rumors about me. But hasn't he thought that if the people who spread the rumors are not eliminated, the rumors will one day stop and disappear? He
Is he refusing to let me die because I am his eldest daughter? Or is it because I have a face that is somewhat similar to my mother's...?"
"Miss, don't say this nonsense!" When Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, Chang Manting almost wanted to cover her mouth, for fear that others would hear her.
"Miss, you're right! Those who talk nonsense should have their mouths torn apart!" A clear voice came from the door, making Lu Zhiyao and Chang Manting look over. The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth raised slightly, looking
He watched the woman who was similar to his own age walk over, looked at him seriously for a while, and then said, "Miss, you used to cry all the time, and I got tired of looking at you. Have you finally cried enough now?"
"Wanyue, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yeah, I've cried enough." After Chang Manting's voice to stop her sounded, Lu Zhiyao said to the girl named Wanyue with a faint smile: "So I just wanted to tear those people's mouths apart."
The reason why Lu Zhiyao dared to say these words to these two people so boldly was entirely because of their reactions. Lu Zhiyao had the mentality of giving it a try. If it was really what he thought, then there would be two more
A person who can be used. If they are here to act, then simply kill them after testing them. Anyway, no one saw or knew this in the middle of the night. Even if it gets dawn tomorrow, who will
Do you believe that a person who has been starved for three days has the strength to kill these two people?
"Miss, let me help you! I have long disliked them!" Wan Yue volunteered and said angrily. It seems that she has been bullied for too long, and the anger in her heart has reached the edge and has nowhere to express it. "Mother.
, why are you pinching me?"
Wanyue looked at Chang Manting aggrievedly, frowned and said: "Don't you always say that those evil people will be punished sooner or later? We have been bullied by them and you still pinch me!"
"Just a mouth that can talk! Let me ask you, if you really want to help Miss, how can you help? Who is the Second Madam? You are just a little girl, and you can only talk nonsense!"
Chang Manting scolded her whimsical daughter, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhiyao had already heard some news from their words.
