"Sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful and I will deal with you!" Lu Zhiyao responded with a bitter smile. Watching Wan Yue and Yudie leave with a smile, the smile in her eyes quickly disappeared.
Lu Zhiyao looked out the window melancholy, thinking of the difficult Prince Mu, and was still a little worried. It should be... okay? What he said, no matter how smart Prince Mu was, he probably wouldn't do it right away.
It turned out that he was lying. At this point, it can be delayed for one day. Anyway, Chu Ziqian's whereabouts have always been elusive. If he can really be caught by Prince Mu's people, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
Thinking this way, Lu Zhiyao felt less stressed. He stayed in the room without leaving the room. Lu Zhiyao got through the day, and after dark, he took a shower and prepared to go to bed.
It was dark night, both inside and outside the house were very quiet. So when Lu Zhiyao heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, listening carefully to the sounds in the outer room. Wan Yue and
Yudie sleeps in the same room with her at her request. Who could this person be?
Before Lu Zhiyao got up and got out of bed, the figure was already in front of her. With a push, Lu Zhiyao, who was sitting on the bed, lay back down again. The room was pitch dark, and Lu Zhiyao couldn't see the face of the person coming.
, but the slightly familiar aura on his body made Lu Zhiyao frown in confusion.
"Eighth Prince?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly.
"Shh..." Lin Yinan signaled Lu Zhiyao to be quiet. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked outside sharply, listening to see if anyone was following him outside.
Lu Zhiyao's body was held down by Lin Yinan, and he lay there motionless. After Lu Zhiyao reacted, he pulled Lin Yinan's sleeve awkwardly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yinan listened for a long time, and after confirming that the person monitoring Lu Zhiyao had not discovered his traces and followed him, he let go of Lu Zhiyao and whispered back: "Prince Mu sent someone to monitor you."
"You came to me even if you knew?" Lu Zhiyao didn't know why Lin Yinan came to see her for something important. She slowly got down to the ground. She felt in the dark and lit the candle. Then she thought about it and walked to the outer room to see the two
A girl.
"I clicked on their weak points, and they will wake up tomorrow morning."
Lu Zhiyao turned around in surprise, looked at Lin Yinan sitting calmly on the bed, and turned to the bed.
Lin Yinan came like a gust of wind. At such a fast speed, he was able to accurately find the locations of Wan Yue and Yu Die, tapped their acupuncture points, and then appeared in front of him before he could fight back. This made Lu Zhiyao feel anxious again.
I couldn't help feeling proud of his Qinggong for once.
Lin Yinan sat beside Lu Zhiyao's bed, watching Lu Zhiyao's doubtful eyes wandering around him. He didn't say anything, but raised his thin lips slightly and stared at her intently. The two looked at each other for a while, and Lu Zhiyao said nothing.
Naturally, Zhiyao was defeated. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, and Lu Zhiyao asked, "What on earth is wrong with the Eighth Prince?"
Lu Zhiyao didn't wait for Lin Yinan to answer, and then made a guess and asked: "Is it because of the incident involving Prince Mu? Don't worry, the Eighth Prince, I have already solved that matter."
"I know."
The light and elegant voice reached Lu Zhiyao's ears, making Lu Zhiyao stunned. He knew? How could he know?
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan and he didn't look like he was lying. He was as gentle as jade, had a chic and outstanding temperament, soft eyes and a slight smile, and the aura of king that usually surrounded him, and the connection with him.
The innate aura of indifference seems to have disappeared. Instead, it makes people feel warm, like the warm breeze blowing away the flowers in spring.
Lu Zhiyao calculated in his mind. She had been dealing with the eighth prince for a while, but she had never seen such an expression on his face. What was wrong with him in the middle of the night?
Lu Zhiyao cautiously took a step forward and sniffed Lin Yinan's body like a puppy to see if there was any alcohol smell on his body. This action made Lin Yinan's eyes flash with a smile.
Lin Yinan looked at Shanglu Zhiyao's cautious and scrutinizing gaze and said, "I am also there at Prince Mu's Mansion today."
Just one word from Lin Yinan made Lu Zhiyao feel that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. All the messy feelings in his heart disappeared. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan expressionlessly, feeling a little stuffy in his heart.
"What did the Eighth Prince want to say?" Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and asked in a muffled voice.
"I just want to ask you why you despise yourself so much. You can definitely tell me my name."
"Please don't think too much, Eighth Prince. I did it just for myself. The Eighth Prince has helped me enough. I can't rely on you for everything. Besides, if I really say your name, I may not be embarrassed by you."
." Lu Zhiyao was silent for a while and then spoke. She never thought that what she said would be heard by Lin Yinan. Complex emotions like unwillingness arose spontaneously, and Lu Zhiyao said coldly to Lin Yinan
He said: "If the Eighth Prince came here just to ask this question, then please go back. If Prince Mu's people find out, it will be difficult for everyone to explain."
"So what you're saying is that no matter what others say about you, it doesn't matter to you?"
Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"For a maid, is it worth it?"
"A maid is also a human being. If something happened to someone close to the Eighth Prince, he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. It didn't happen to me, so I can say anything. As long as I can protect my own people, I will be satisfied."
Lin Yinan saw that Lu Zhiyao was so stubborn, even pretending to be strong, and said nothing for a long time. He just looked at her thoughtfully, because this was the first time Lin Yinan had met someone like her.
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao deeply, and suddenly thought of someone. He asked with a wicked smile: "Doesn't it matter to you what Xia Han thinks of you?"
Lu Zhiyao immediately looked at Lin Yinan in a panic, making Lin Yinan curious again as to why she was so special to that Xia Han. From the first time she cried to save Xia Han on the street, to later looking for him again and again, Mingli
I secretly asked myself not to embarrass Xia Han and react now.
Lin Yinan stood up and walked step by step in front of Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao raised his head slightly and looked at him, reflexively taking a step back, but Lin Yinan walked over reluctantly, letting Lu Zhiyao
I can't help but feel a little angry.
Just when Lu Zhiyao wanted to ask him what he was doing, Lin Yinan suddenly stretched out his hand and gently covered her eyes with his palms. The cool fingertips were like a breeze, easing the irritability in Lu Zhiyao's heart.
"You don't have to be so strong."
A sound like a sigh sounded in Lu Zhiyao's ears, which made Lu Zhiyao feel sour in his nose for some reason.
Since the night she married Lin Yixiang, God has tried his best to make Lu Zhiyao understand how unfair God was to her. Her family was ruined, and she was ruined by the gang of bandits. She passed away unwillingly.
, couldn't die, but when she woke up, she still had to face the situation of being bullied. Now, is she a human? Or a ghost? Even Lu Zhiyao felt a little scared when he thought about it.
She didn't want to face the weakness in her heart. She told herself over and over again that she wanted revenge and wanted to find out the murderers who killed her parents and relatives one by one and kill them with blood. But the revenge has not been avenged, which is a troublesome thing.
But one thing came after another. She didn't dare to let herself stop and relax for a moment. She was only afraid that those evil people with malicious intentions would find her again and put her to death.
No need to be so strong…
Such a familiar yet heartbreaking sentence.
Lu Zhiyao also wanted to be the same as before. She was still Xia Yao, still the daughter of the great general of the country, and still a rich young lady with a father who loved her, a mother who loved her, and an older brother who protected her. No matter what happened, they would stand by her side.
, tell her that they are there for everything and she doesn’t have to pretend to be strong. But...
Lin Yinan felt tears slowly flowing down his fingertips, his eyes flashed, and then he sighed softly.
After waving his hand to extinguish the candle, Lin Yinan slowly removed his palm in the darkness, patted Lu Zhiyao's head comfortingly, and then walked away.
"Eighth Prince." After Lin Yinan took a few steps, Lu Zhiyao sniffed and asked, "Can you let me see Xia Han?"
At this time, she was the only relative she had left. So whenever Lu Zhiyao felt tired, he always wanted to take a look at that familiar face.
"no."
Lin Yinan's answer made Lu Zhiyao feel cold. He twitched his lips. Before he could say "Okay", he heard Lin Yinan say over there: "Prince Mu's people are still watching you. Wait.
In two days, I will send someone to pick you up to see her."
Lu Zhiyao stood there, listening to Lin Yinan's footsteps moving away from her little by little, and finally disappeared. She returned to the bed and hugged her arms tightly.
Wiping the tears that had not yet dried at the corners of his eyes, Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath and his eyes became firm again.
Perhaps the person she least wanted to hear what she said to Lin Mubai was Lin Yinan. But he happened to know it and ran to her without hesitation to tell her that he was there.
Lu Zhiyao curled his lips and lay down. Little did he know that Lin Yinan stood outside her door for a long time before slowly leaving.
After a good sleep, Lu Zhiyao got up the next day and went out specifically. After confirming that someone was indeed following him, he walked around the street and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss, this is the plum blossom cake I made specially for you, you can try it!" After Lu Zhiyao came back, Wan Yue brought the thing to her in a flattering manner. She watched Lu Zhiyao eat it with a smile.
After nodding, Wan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that the young lady is in a good mood today, not as worried as yesterday, so my sister and I can feel relieved."
"Nonsense, when did I become so preoccupied?" Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he sent Wan Yue away with a smile. "Go and do your work. Come back and learn from me."
