Ye Shengnan wanted to question Lu Zhiyao's words, but Lu Zhiyao immediately suppressed him. It was neither accidental nor unintentional that Lu Zhiyao would say this to him. She must have known something to dare to do this.
made!
Ye Shengnan looked at Lu Zhiyao guiltily and remained silent.
"What's wrong, uncle? Do you really know something?" Lu Zhiyao tilted his head and asked curiously.
"Nonsense, who do you think I know? How could I possibly know such a thing!"
Ye Shengnan glanced at Lu Zhiyao sideways and left angrily. Lu Zhiyao waved at Ye Shengnan's back and said leisurely: "Uncle, walk slowly. If you are bored, you can come to Zhiyao again!"
"Miss, Miss, the money you got back last time... isn't it all his?" Wan Yue asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice after Ye Shengnan walked away. After Lu Zhiyao nodded and admitted, Wan Yue was stunned.
After a moment, he chuckled.
Ye Shengnan hit a wall with Lu Zhiqing and Lu Zhiyao one after another, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion without going back to see Lu Zhiqing and Lin Yixiang. Lu Zhiqing had dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then followed Lin Yixiang back to the palace. She kept thinking in her heart
Thinking about what Ye Lianrong taught her, Lu Zhiqing secretly glanced at Lin Yixiang from time to time.
As soon as Lin Yixiang returned to the palace, he saw a person who surprised him at the entrance of the palace.
"Brother Imperial, you're back!" Lin Ruoxue stepped forward quickly, stopped in front of Lin Yixiang, and looked at Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing behind her. When her eyes came to Lu Zhiqing's veiled face, Lin Ruoxue was obviously stunned.
.
"Why is Xiaoxue here?"
"I'm here to see the emperor's brother and his wife." Lin Ruoxue heard that the new seventh imperial concubine was the second daughter of the prime minister's family, the sister of Lu Zhiyao, so she ran over curiously.
Lu Zhiqing hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Lin Ruoxue respectfully. Lin Ruoxue and Lu Zhiqing closed the distance, staring intently at the veil on her face, and said with a simple smile: "It seems that my sister-in-law must be as beautiful as a fairy.
It’s not easy for ordinary people to take a look at their sister-in-law’s appearance.”
Lin Ruoxue's words made Lu Zhiqing's face darken immediately. Lin Ruoxue noticed her frown and felt panicked. Could it be that she said something wrong that made the imperial sister-in-law angry?
"How long have Xiaoxue been waiting here? Why didn't you go into the house and wait?" Lin Yixiang came over and separated Lin Ruoxue and Lu Zhiqing, "Come on, I just have something for you."
"Really?" Lin Ruoxue raised her face with expectation. After watching Lin Yixiang nod, she forgot about the embarrassment just now and followed Lin Yixiang and left.
Lu Zhiqing looked at Lin Ruoxue's back and snorted coldly. Returning to her room, she forcefully tore off the veil on her face and threw it to the ground, which frightened the maids in the room and did not dare to breathe.
Lin Ruoxue followed Lin Yixiang to a room filled with many good things. Lin Ruoxue opened her eyes wide when she saw the exquisite and small rapier that Lin Yixiang handed to her.
This sword is different from what you usually see. Not to mention it is a lot smaller. The scabbard is also white with several gems inlaid on it, making it look elegant and smart. Lin Ruoxue slowly pulled out the sword and looked at it.
The sharp sword blade took a breath.
"I heard someone say before that you went to pester your father and said that you wanted to find a master to teach you martial arts. So I specially found someone to give you a sword. Although it is not a famous sword, it probably doesn't know how to do it.
Too bad.”
"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Lin Ruoxue's thoughts were all written on her face. After playing with the sword for a while, she turned to look at Lin Yixiang. "By the way, Brother Huang, my sister-in-law is the prime minister's daughter?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Is she Lu Zhiyao's sister?"
Lin Yixiang didn't expect that she would ask this, so he nodded hesitantly, "Do you recognize that Lu Zhiyao?"
"I recognize it! She is my savior!" Lin Ruoxue spoke quickly, and then stuck out her tongue, refusing to say anything more. When Lin Yixiang asked for the truth, Lin Ruoxue also responded with the word "secret".
"Anyway, I like Lu Zhiyao very much. Otherwise, if I am bored in the future, I will come to chat with the emperor's wife, okay?"
"Of course, you can come over anytime you want."
Lin Yixiang was unhappy that Lin Ruoxue often came to his place. After sending Lin Ruoxue away, Lin Yixiang suddenly thought of Lu Zhiyao. He had a vague feeling that this Lu Zhiyao was not ordinary.
Ever since Lu Zhiqing married the Seventh Prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been lively for a while. Lu Zhiyao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but occasionally when he met Ye Lianrong, he would get a fierce glare from Ye Lianrong, or
Just hit yourself.
Lu Zhiyao smiled calmly and did not accept her provocation. He said nothing until seven or eight days later, a big event happened in the capital.
An old minister in the court was found dead next to the eighth prince's house. As soon as the news came out, many people immediately panicked.
At the dinner table, Lu Yuanzheng's worried look made Ye Lianrong smile without trace.
The man who died happened to be from the eighth prince's faction. He had been a minister in the court for many years and had always advocated deposing the crown prince and establishing an eighth prince. Therefore, his death caused quite a stir. What's more, he didn't die in his own home.
He didn't die of old age or illness, but he was killed by someone and his body was dumped near the back door of the Eight Emperors Mansion. Ye Lianrong naturally found out about this big news when she went out to play cards.
"Master, why do you seem to be worried?" Ye Lianrong asked with concern.
"It's okay, let's eat."
Lu Yuanzheng said it was okay, but Ye Lianrong did not intend to just stop. Ye Lianrong glanced at Lu Zhiyao who was also at the dinner table. Ever since Lu Zhiqing got married, Lu Yuanzheng had stipulated that everyone should gather together to eat dinner. This made Ye Lianrong
From the first day to now, she has never eaten enough. As soon as she saw Lu Zhiyao's charming face, she couldn't eat anything!
"Master, when I went out today, I heard someone said something big seemed to have happened in the DPRK. Is it true?"
"You, a woman, shouldn't inquire about matters in the imperial court!" Lu Yuanzheng was troubled by this matter. Hearing Ye Lianrong's insistent question, he sternly replied to her, then threw down his chopsticks and left.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Ye Lianrong's expression with a smile on his face, and sighed softly after Lu Yuanzheng walked away.
Lu Zhiyao's sigh brought Ye Lianrong's attention back to her, "Why are you laughing? Lu Zhiyao, let me tell you, the person who died today was the Eighth Prince's person. In my opinion, it's all you
This bad guy got too close to the Eighth Prince, so he brought all the bad luck to the Eighth Prince!"
The Eighth Prince's people?
Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth turned a bit sarcastic. "I really don't know when Erniang will learn to speak properly. People always say that I, Lu Zhiyao, am a bastard, but I always want to ask Erniang
, I have used my bad luck to kill so many people over the years, why is it that nothing happened to my second mother?"
"You damn girl, how dare you curse me to death!?"
"Er Niang is wrong. I want to say that Er Niang should first think about whether she should say this before speaking. You just said that I brought all the bad luck to the Eighth Prince. So, is the implication behind your words?
, The Eighth Prince will soon be like that dead veteran? Isn’t Er Niang cursing the Eighth Prince? I wonder what the Eighth Prince would think if these words reached his ears.”
"Don't be so sarcastic!" Ye Lianrong couldn't resist Lu Zhiyao's sharp mouth. In addition, there were other servants in the house. She also wanted to preserve her image and not get angry at will. After all, her daughter is now the imperial concubine.
It's different from the past.
"Whether I'm a slanderer or not, Erniang will know after thinking about it carefully. I'm full too, so I'll leave first. Erniang will eat slowly."
Lu Zhiyao stood up and walked out of the room, standing outside the door, thinking about what Ye Lianrong said.
I don’t know, who is this dead person?
"What was found?" Lin Yinan raised his eyes, looked at Ling Yi and Lan Ruoling in front of him, and asked in a low voice. In the depths of his black eyes, murderous intent flashed faintly.
"Nothing was found." Ling Yi shook his head feebly, "But now I can be sure that it was not done by the crown prince or a few of the Seventh Prince's confidants."
"Focus on checking the prince and the queen. Lin Yixiang doesn't need to worry about it now. He just married Lu Zhiqing, and it will take some time to deal with the ministers who are coming to please him. He will not do such a thing. Besides, he doesn't have the guts to do this.
Do."
"Master, do you mean that the queen and the prince are starting to take action against you again?" Lan Ruoling felt uneasy, nervously looking at Lin Yinan's seemingly calm expression, and asked in a low voice.
"You two just go find out who killed the old man. Don't worry about anything else." Lin Yinan did not answer Lan Ruoling's question directly, but said, "Go out and invite people from outside in."
Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi were stunned for a moment and walked out of the room one after another. They were both a little surprised when they saw Lu Zhiyao in the corner of the yard.
The sky was dark, and Lu Zhiyao's petite body was leaning against the corner, making it difficult for others to spot him.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the two people looking at him and smiled sheepishly. He originally wanted to sneak over to have a look, but unexpectedly he overheard their conversation.
"Master lets you in." Lan Ruoling stared at Lu Zhiyao closely. After seeing her enter Lin Yinan's room, she asked Ling Yi beside her suspiciously. "Master, won't you really treat this Lu Zhiyao?"
Ling Yi shook his head. He had doubted it before, but after such a long time, Ling Yi was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning. "Master is a person who knows what he should and shouldn't do."
"That's right. Even if it is, it has nothing to do with us." Lan Ruoling shrugged her shoulders and followed Ling Yi away.
Lu Zhiyao entered Lin Yinan's room and saw Lin Yinan sitting by the window with a slight frown on her face. Then she turned to look at herself. She walked over slowly and said, "It's hard to see you frowning so tightly."
