As soon as Wan Yue heard that Lu Zhiyao was going to teach her martial arts, she smiled happily, finished her work neatly, and hurried back to Lu Zhiyao, looking at Lu Zhiyao honestly without saying anything. But Yudie said
Not wanting to learn anything, Lu Zhiyao thought for a moment and let her go.
Prince Mu's people have been secretly monitoring Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he stayed in the house every day, not even bothering to come out of the door. Occasionally, he would teach Wan Yue some basic moves in the house.
Just for fun, after half a month, that person will disappear.
Lu Zhiqing's wedding day is getting closer and closer. Wan Yue and Yu Die have been watching the people in the house rushing around for Lu Zhiqing all day long, and then seeing their master's calm face and not taking it seriously, they can't help but feel anxious for her.
.The eldest lady has not yet been engaged, but the second lady has already married off. When Lu Zhiqing becomes the seventh imperial concubine, what will the outside world say about Lu Zhiyao?
"Miss, why haven't you been looking for the Eighth Prince recently?" Wan Yue approached Lu Zhiyao without looking for trouble and asked cautiously.
After hearing her words, Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows, looked sideways, and asked, "What? Do you want to see him?"
"Me?!" Wan Yue didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to suddenly ask such a question. Her eyes widened for a moment, then she shook her head hurriedly and explained: "I'm just worried about you, Miss..."
Wan Yue's nervous expression made Lu Zhiyao slightly raise his lips. Thinking about what Lin Yinan said that night, he wondered if he still remembered what he promised him.
In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, when Lin Yinan heard that Zhan Yulong came back and said that Lin Mubai had recalled the people who were monitoring Lu Zhiyao, he sent someone to call Xia Han in front of him.
Since Xia Han was rescued by Lin Yinan, she had never seen Lin Yinan even with two hands, so Lin Yinan suddenly summoned her, which made Xia Han feel a little nervous. She walked to Lin Yinan anxiously and glanced at Lin Yinan's side.
Yan's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and said softly: "Xia Han has met the Eighth Prince."
"Here we come." Lin Yinan turned his head and looked at Xia Han, put down the book in his hand, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Xia Han sat down politely, constantly wondering why Lin Yinan was looking for her. When she heard Lin Yinan say that Lu Zhiyao wanted to come and see her, Xia Han frowned in confusion.
"Eighth Prince." Xia Han hesitated and said in a low voice: "Forgive Xia Han for having the courage to ask, why does the eldest lady of the Lu family want to see me again and again?"
"You don't know?" Lin Yinan asked without answering. After seeing Xia Han shake his head, he asked again: "Then, you don't want to see her anymore?"
Xia Han was stunned for a moment and lowered his eyes, "It all depends on the Eighth Prince's arrangement."
Lin Yinan looked at Xia Han for a moment and waved her away. "Lu Zhiyao will be here in an hour. Just go back and wait."
Xia Han walked out of Lin Yinan's sight full of thoughts. Not long after she returned, Lin Yinan sent Ling Yi to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Lu Zhiyao.
Ling Yi's arrival not only made Lu Zhiyao smile, but also made the two little girls relax. They were busy serving Lu Zhiyao. They had to change Lu Zhiyao into new clothes and give Lu Zhiyao new clothes.
The makeup made Ling Yi over there feel a little embarrassed and coughed softly.
Lu Zhiyao understood what they were thinking and smiled bitterly. She strode out of the room and said to the two of them with new clothes in their hands: "I'll be back as soon as I go. You guys wait for me at home."
Lu Zhiyao ignored the two's efforts and followed Ling Yi without applying makeup. Wan Yue and Yu Die looked at their backs and sighed.
Arriving at Lin Yinan's mansion again, Lu Zhiyao was led by Ling Yi and went straight to Lin Yinan's courtyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lin Yinan holding the side of his face with one hand and closing his eyes to relax.
Ling Yi paused and stopped. The two of them looked at Lin Yinan from a distance, wondering if he was really asleep.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan's elegant and delicate face, tugged at the corner of Ling Yi's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "How about we come back later?"
Ling Yi thought for a moment and shook his head. Before he could say anything, he felt the gaze coming from Lin Yinan.
Lu Zhiyao obviously noticed it, so he looked at Lin Yinan again. Lin Yinan squinted his eyes slightly, first looked at the two of them, then seemed a little uncomfortable with the bright light, slowly raised his head, and looked resentfully
With the blue sky above my head, I sat upright.
"The Eighth Prince is pretending to sleep?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile on his face and a straight-forward question.
"You girl." Lin Yinan didn't get angry. After the two of them came to his side, he said to Lu Zhiyao: "You woke me up, and you dared to accuse me first."
Lu Zhiyao curled his lips and stopped talking. Ling Yi, on the other hand, seemed to be worried about Lin Yinan's health and persuaded him to go into the house.
"It's okay." Lin Yinan didn't care. He glanced at Lu Zhiyao and said, "I already told Xia Han that you would come over. Let Ling Yi take you to find her."
"Thank you, Eighth Prince." Lu Zhiyao left a message and went to see Xia Han in a happy mood. Lin Yinan looked at her back for a long time, and suddenly wanted to follow her and eavesdrop on what she and Xia Han would say.
What, but soon, he suppressed his thought again.
Lu Zhiyao came to Xia Han's room, looked at Xia Han who was sitting there embroidering, and walked slowly over.
Xia Han quickly stood up and wanted to salute Lu Zhiyao, but was stopped by Lu Zhiyao. After Ling Yi left, Lu Zhiyao and Xia Han sat down one after another, and then they fell silent.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Xia Han's brows carefully, and a warm current slowly passed through her heart. Her turbulent heart slowly calmed down, and she asked softly: "How are you doing here?"
"The Eighth Prince treats me very well, thank you for your concern."
Xia Han chatted with Lu Zhiyao for a while. When Lu Zhiyao was about to get up and leave, she finally couldn't help but asked: "Miss Lu, can I ask you a few questions?"
Lu Zhiyao turned around in surprise and nodded. "If you have anything to say, just ask."
"I want to ask you, do you have any intentions against me?" Xia Han was not ambiguous and looked directly at Lu Zhiyao. "If what I said today is wrong, then I will give you some trouble first. But no matter how you think about it,
I feel that it is not that simple for you to visit me several times. Don't say that you and my dead sister are good friends. You are not clear about the state of my Xia family now. If others find out, you
If you often come to see me and talk to me, then the entire Prime Minister's Office will probably be implicated, right? What do you want to know by trying so hard to get close to me? What secrets does our Xia family have that are worth your efforts?"
After Xia Han finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment. In the past, she only thought that her younger sister was weak-tempered, and it was rare to see her speak loudly to others, let alone speak such sharp words.
"You are overthinking. I just want to care about you. I don't want anything else." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and patiently explained to Xia Han. "If we want to talk about danger, then the Eighth Prince who lets you stay here
, isn’t it more dangerous than me?”
"He is the prince, the emperor's son! What about you? What are you?"
Xia Han's emotions gradually became aroused. Lu Zhiyao looked at her with some discomfort, but still insisted that he could not tell her the truth. It was enough for her to know and bear such things. As for Xia Han, as long as she could live peacefully
For half his life, Lu Zhiyao has no regrets.
"I'm going to leave first. Please stay here. If there's anything you're missing that you can't ask the Eighth Prince for, just tell me. I'll bring it to you the next time I come over."
"Nothing is missing, thank you Miss Lu for your kindness!"
It was not difficult to tell that Xia Han's tone was a bit displeased, even hostile. Lu Zhiyao looked at her deeply and silently walked out of the room. Standing outside the door, Lu Zhiyao closed the door.
, looking at Xia Han's cold gaze in the crack of the door, her heart ached. Lu Zhiyao walked up to Ling Yi with a forced smile, as if nothing happened, and said in a relaxed tone: "I've finished talking to her, let's go.
.”
Ling Yi looked at Lu Zhiyao meaningfully, said nothing, and returned to Lin Yinan with her. Lin Yinan stared into Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and after Lu Zhiyao sat down, he asked: "Have you met someone?"
, are you happy?”
Lu Zhiyao nodded in recognition and expressed his gratitude to Lin Yinan. Lin Yinan looked at her intently and noticed something was wrong. The pain hidden deep in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, although not obvious, could be seen with Lu Zhiyao's inadvertent daze and occasional
Lin Yinan still felt the hollow look in his eyes.
Lin Yinan was talking to Lu Zhiyao as if nothing had happened. When he saw Zhan Yulong coming from outside, he changed the subject and said to Lu Zhiyao: "This man is also my subordinate. I heard that Ling Yi was defeated by you before.
, I have always wanted to compete with you."
Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan's gaze and saw Zhan Yulong's inquiring gaze and Ling Yi's gloomy face.
Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, and replied: "Then the Eighth Prince is not afraid. If I defeat this subordinate of yours, will you, the master, be disgraced?"
Lin Yinan pondered for a long time and seemed to find this question a bit difficult to answer. Just when Lu Zhiyao was complacent, Lin Yinan unexpectedly said: "If you beat them without drinking, then I will admit it."
Lu Zhiyao's smile froze, knowing that Lin Yinan had caught him. Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhiyao began to think of ways to escape for himself. "Eighth Prince, if my knowledge of martial arts is seen by others,
Isn’t it good?”
Lu Zhiyao's implication was that he was afraid that this place would also be monitored by Lin Mubai's people. Unfortunately, Lin Yinan replied to her with certainty, "Don't worry, my prince is very safe here."
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, Zhan Yulong also spoke. He simply said that Lu Zhiyao was willing to compete with Ling Yi, but was unwilling to fight him. Could it be that he looked down on him? Lu Zhiyao was said by Lin Yinan's bodyguard.
She couldn't talk back, and Lin Yinan looked happy to see her in trouble, which made Lu Zhiyao feel that they had already planned it.
