After hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Yudie smiled sheepishly. "Miss, you are serious. How can I have the nerve to trouble you?"
"You are exaggerating. It's just a matter of having a meal. If he doesn't come, don't we all have to eat?" Lu Zhiyao glanced at Yudie reproachfully, and then continued to ask: "By the way, Yudie
, I have never heard you say, which doctor in the city is this old gentleman who taught you medical skills? Or, which pharmacy does he belong to? "
"This..." Yudie thought about it seriously, then shook her head, "I never heard him mention it."
"Then how did he tell you that the capital is not peaceful recently? What else did he say?" Lu Zhiyao asked the question he wanted to ask the most, but he didn't hold out much hope. After all, the matter of the dead person was
Many people already know it.
Yudie took a deep breath with a solemn expression and stared into Lu Zhiyao's eyes. Yudie thought for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "Master didn't let me say it originally, but I heard Wan Yue say
, the two ministers who died recently seemed to be related to the Eighth Prince, so I thought it would be better to tell the lady."
Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao's eyes flash, and he sat up straight and looked at her intently.
"Master actually didn't say anything, but there was something I thought was quite strange. He said... the evil wolf is coming back to the capital, and the capital will definitely not be peaceful during this period. Let me be careful."
"Does he know that you are my maid?"
"He knew that I was a slave in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also asked who my master was. Because when I met him before, I often went to collect medicine for you. At that time, he still laughed at me and said that I was not selling medicine.
Yeah, why do I always pick those kinds of medicinal materials? I didn’t think much about it. Seeing that he didn’t look like a city dweller, I casually told him that it was for you, miss. He didn’t say anything else after that.
.”
The evil wolf is coming back to Beijing? What exactly does this mean? Is it related to the two recent murders?
Lu Zhiyao thought about it thoughtfully and felt that this old man was a bit interesting. Yudie was just a little maid. Even if there was a big turmoil in the capital, what would it have to do with her? Unless something happened to the prime minister's house,
Only then could it affect her...
Lu Zhiyao suddenly looked stunned, and then stood up from the chair.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao's uneasy gaze and asked nervously.
"It's okay, please go out first and let me think about it." Lu Zhiyao's mind was a little confused. Who is this Yudie's master? Is what he said to Yudie meant for Yudie to listen to, or did he want to
What did Yudie bring to him? The evil wolf returned to the capital... Many ministers in the court were in the capital, and many were sent to other places. Which wolf was he referring to?
Lu Zhiyao didn't know anything about the affairs in the DPRK. Lu Yuanzheng didn't say anything when he came back on weekdays and kept his mouth tight. Ye Lianrong might know something, but it was impossible to tell him honestly. Lin Yinan might be upset.
Now, Lu Zhiyao doesn't want to bother him with anything. So who else can tell her what she wants to know?
Lu Zhiyao kept trying to search in her mind for someone who could tell her some news. Finally, after thinking for a long time, she thought of Lan Ruoling.
Lan Ruoling is also considered a member of the imperial court. She travels out every day and knows a lot of news. It shouldn't be difficult to find her.
Lu Zhiyao thought this and did it immediately. He left the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and walked towards the Yamen in the northwest direction. Seeing that he had arrived at the door, he almost asked the guard at the door where Lan Ruoling was.
, Lu Zhiyao suddenly saw someone she didn't want to see.
"What are you doing here?" Yin Jianli frowned and looked at Lu Zhiyao, who was about to open his mouth to say something. He walked slowly to her side and asked coldly.
When Lu Zhiyao saw it was Yin Jianli, he swallowed the words that were already on his lips. We were enemies on a narrow road, so we didn't expect to meet him here.
Lu Zhiyao just lowered his head and did not answer. Yin Jianli looked at Lu Zhiyao's silent expression and slowly raised a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"You don't want to come to the Yamen to inquire about when Chu Ziqian will come back?"
Yin Jianli also believed that Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian were a pair of adulterers, which to some extent was a good thing for Lu Zhiyao, so she was not prepared to make any excuses.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Lu Zhiyao whispered to Yin Jianli, turned around and wanted to leave.
Yin Jianli looked at Lu Zhiyao's back, snorted coldly, and warned: "You'd better be more honest. If Chu Ziqian really has the courage to come to the capital again, then he will definitely not be able to leave."
Lu Zhiyao turned his back to Yin Jianli, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a disdainful smile. Beauty Pavilion and Chu Ziqian were evenly matched, so who could Yin Jianli show off as a gentleman?
Yin Jian was far away from watching Lu Zhiyuan, so he continued to move forward to do his own business. Lan Ruoling, who was hiding in the dark, waited until both of them left completely before walking out.
"What did that woman say to you just now?" Lan Ruoling asked the guard at the door.
"He left without saying anything."
Why did Lu Zhiyao come here so well? Did he really come to find him?
Lan Ruoling was confused, but she didn't take the initiative to ask Lu Zhiyao for clarification. She stayed busy until the evening, when she returned to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion and inspected the area around the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. After finding no suspicious person, she
Lan Ruoling walked into Lin Yinan's villa. She looked at Ling Yi who was guarding Lin Yinan's door and asked, "Did something happen today?"
"Nothing is wrong, don't worry."
Lan Ruoling nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first." But before taking two steps, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Ling Yi, and asked, "Has the master slept?"
"I'm sure not at this time. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Lan Ruoling hesitantly hummed, walked back to Lin Yinan's door, knocked on the door, and walked in.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Lin Yinan had already heard the conversation between Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi just now. He put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at her.
Lan Ruoling told Lin Yinan about Lu Zhiyao's visit to the Yamen today. After hearing this, Lin Yinan smiled slightly. "I understand, please step back."
After dinner, Lu Zhiyao sat under the tree in the yard, with his arms around his knees and his chin resting on his knees in a daze. The cool breeze blew by, making him feel extremely comfortable and comfortable.
"Miss, be careful if you get cold!" Wan Yue and Yu Die stood on the left and right, fearing that Lu Zhiyao might feel unwell. Lu Zhiyao was nagged too much by them, so he had no choice but to stand up.
Looking at the two of them with bright eyes, Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile on his lips: "You two, what will you two do if everyone in the capital says that I am a prostitute?
"
"It doesn't matter! It's not like Miss has never been told before!" Wan Yue was straightforward and answered without thinking. Yudie immediately raised her hand and hit her on the back, and Wan Yue realized it later.
"Miss, has something happened? Who is chewing your nose in front of you again?" Wan Yue shrank her neck uncomfortably and asked cautiously.
"You're right, I'm used to it anyway, it doesn't matter anymore." Lu Zhiyao breathed a calm sigh of relief, "Nothing happened, I just asked randomly because of my random thoughts. Let's go back to the house."
"I'll boil water for the lady. Let's take a rest after taking a shower." Yudie turned and walked out of the yard, Wan Yue followed quickly, and Lu Zhiyao returned to the room alone.
Lu Zhiyao had just entered the room, and within a moment, she heard the door open. She thought it was Wan Yue coming back, so she didn't pay much attention. She took off her outer robe and threw it on the table, waiting for Wan Yue to come in.
But when she saw who was entering the room, she couldn't help but took two steps back, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
The expression on Lin Yinan's face was awkward and stiff for a moment. Looking at the gown on the table, Lin Yinan coughed lightly, and then joked: "If I don't come now, will I come in later when you take a shower?"
"You actually eavesdropped on our conversation." Lu Zhiyao curled his lips, grabbed the gown and hurriedly put it on again.
A smile flashed across Lin Yinan's eyes. After Lu Zhiyao finished dressing, he walked over and sat on the chair, "You are so incompetent as a 'whore', why are you so nervous?"
"It seems that the Eighth Prince came here just to tease me?" Lu Zhiyao sat down next to Lin Yinan, poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him.
Lin Yinan took a sip and turned to look at Lu Zhiyao. "I thought you were buying me wine."
"Eighth Prince, don't be joking. Have you ever seen a teapot with wine in it? Besides, I am a bold drinker but a small drinker. If I usually drink with open mouth, the entire Prime Minister's Office would have fallen out with me."
"You also know." Lin Yinan thought about Lu Zhiyao's appearance after being drunk, and replied meaningfully, which made Lu Zhiyao feel a little awkward.
"What's the matter with the Eighth Prince coming here?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a serious expression as he remembered the business.
"Don't you have something to do with me?" Lin Yinan asked back. After seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused face, he frowned slightly, "Then what do you want to do when you go to the Yamen to find Lan Ruoling?"
Lu Zhiyao was shocked. He didn't expect Lin Yinan to know everything. "I have something to ask Miss Lan for help, but I didn't want to ask you, the Eighth Prince."
"She can help you, why can't I, the prince?" When Lin Yinan heard what Lu Zhiyao said, for some reason, a feeling similar to loss flashed through his heart.
Lu Zhiyao was so careless that he didn't notice the displeasure in Lin Yinan's words. He sighed heavily and said, "But the Eighth Prince is so helpful, so I'll just ask you directly. Eighth Prince, do you know if there's anything going on recently?"
Are the officials assigned abroad coming back to Beijing?"
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao deeply. He couldn't guess what kind of tricks this girl was going to play, so he asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
