Lin Yinan's slightly teasing tone made Lu Zhiyao twitch her lips in embarrassment. She knew that he would not let her go easily.
This time, even if Lu Zhiyao really said something, she never thought that Lin Yinan would really tell others. Furthermore, Lin Yinan could be considered a victim. For his "benefactor", he should be even less likely to be ungrateful to him.
Sold. But Lu Zhiyao still hesitated, not knowing whether to say those words. Because she was afraid that she would be unable to control it for a while and find a way to add her personal feelings of resentment to this matter.
, dragged Lin Yinan into trouble so quickly.
"Many people know that the Eighth Prince's enemies are from the Prince's faction. So I think this case is the same." Lu Zhiyao was silent for a long time, and finally, under Lin Yinan's gaze, he slowly spoke and whispered.
Said: "They probably just want to give it a try. If they are lucky enough to get rid of you, that would be great. If not, they also want to take this opportunity to see if the Eighth Prince is really powerless. In life,
I was dangling by a thread and did nothing. But I didn’t expect that my plan would be disrupted by an outsider like me.”
"Did you notice the weapons those people were holding?"
"Weapon?" Lu Zhiyao thought about it and shook his head in confusion. "I didn't pay attention. What did the Eighth Prince find?"
"The weapons held by those people all have the markings of the Nangong family." Lin Yinan said it calmly, which shocked Lu Zhiyao.
"So the Eighth Prince suspects... General Nangong is responsible for this?" Lu Zhiyao hesitantly asked the question in his heart. Seeing Lin Yinan nodding casually, Lu Zhiyao continued to ask: "Then why not
Change some weapons?"
"Are you familiar with Nangong Lingfeng?"
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's expression when he asked this question. He was very serious and didn't seem to have thought that the daughter of the Prime Minister's family and General Nangong should not have anything to do with each other. Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She felt guilty. She didn't know why Lin Yinan would ask such a question, but in fact, she really knew Nangong Lingfeng a little bit.
"It is true that ordinary people will not expose themselves when they buy a murder. But it is precisely because of this that after the incident is solved, they will have reasons and excuses to say that they were wronged and that they would not be that stupid.
Go and use your own weapons to commit murder. Is this what the Eighth Prince wants to say?" Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and asked.
"That's right, it seems you are not stupid." Lin Yinan nodded. Because the Taiwei was killed before, Lu Zhiyao suspected Nangong Lingfeng, so Lin Yinan revealed his thoughts to Lu Zhiyao this time.
.Lin Yinan has been secretly investigating that matter, and as expected, some clues pointed to Nangong Lingfeng as Lu Zhiyao guessed. However, Nangong Lingfeng was on the road and not in the capital at the time, so no one would immediately think that it was Nangong Lingfeng.
It's just him.
Lu Zhiyao ignored Lin Yinan's teasing and tried hard to recall Nangong Lingfeng's reaction and actions she saw when those masked men appeared.
Nangong Lingfeng's martial arts was very good, and Lu Zhiyao had seen with his own eyes the scene when he and his brother fought. If compared with Nangong Lingfeng at that time, his performance this time was indeed unsatisfactory. How can I say it?
It also threatened the safety of his master. He should kill the enemy at all costs, but he had reservations.
At that time, Lu Zhiyao focused all his attention on Lin Yinan. He glanced at Nangong Lingfeng and Lin Yixiang a few times, but didn't think much about it. But now that he thinks about it, there seems to be something really wrong. Plus Nangong Ling
Feng has an arrogant temperament, so it is not impossible for him to reveal his identity and commit murder.
"If it is really General Nangong, what does the Eighth Prince plan to do?" Lu Zhiyao slowly raised his eyes and asked Lin Yinan's gaze.
"You don't seem surprised." Lin Yinan answered Fei's question with a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth, which made Lu Zhiyao, who was already a little guilty, not want to say more.
Although Lin Yinan didn't talk much usually, Lu Zhiyao felt that every word he said seemed to have a deep meaning. Lu Zhiyao was really afraid that if he was not careful one day, he would find out some secrets again.
"Surprised, who says I'm not surprised?!" Lu Zhiyao quickly changed his words, but before he could finish a few sentences, he was so shocked by what Lin Yinan said next that he shut his mouth again.
"Lu Zhiyao, do you remember how you looked when you were drunk?" Lin Yinan leaned forward and suddenly asked this sentence. Seeing Lu Zhiyao shaking his head in confusion, Lin Yinan continued: "Then do you want me to tell you?
You, what did you look like when you were drunk? What did you say to me?"
"What does the Eighth Prince mean by this?" Lu Zhiyao's heart trembled. He didn't know what he said to him when he was drunk.
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's increasingly uneasy expression and said slowly: "'She' once said that you have many secrets. You are very interesting when you are drunk, and you are not in this state at all. So I am also very curious.
, I wonder which one is more powerful, the normal you or the drunk you? And which one will tell me your secret first?"
"The Eighth Prince is joking, I don't have any secrets. I drank wine, but I just talked nonsense under the influence of wine, which is not worthy of belief. As for my kung fu, it is not worth mentioning."
"Excessive modesty will sound bad. Lu Zhiyao, I said you owe me an explanation. You have never been prepared to tell me this explanation, are you?"
Lin Yinan pressed forward step by step, not giving Lu Zhiyao a chance to breathe. She looked at Lin Yinan, although his tone was strong, but there was a faint smile on his face, and his posture was lazy and calm, which made Lu Zhiyao feel angry and couldn't muster the strength.
Come.
"Some things are not that I don't want to say, but that I can't say them. I think the Eighth Prince should also know this feeling." Lu Zhiyao turned away and stopped looking at Lin Yinan's charming face. "I admit that some things really don't exist.
Tell the truth to the Eighth Prince, but I also have my own reasons. If possible, who would want to live with millions of secrets in their hearts and live in fear every day."
"You are young, but your words are full of vicissitudes." Lin Yinan couldn't stand Lu Zhiyao's sad look. He stood up and walked to her side. He slowly took out something from his arms and handed it to Lu Zhiyao.
In front of you.
"What is this?" Lu Zhiyao took the small porcelain bottle doubtfully, raised his head and looked at Lin Yinan and asked in confusion.
"Good food, let's eat it." Lin Yinan patted Lu Zhiyao's head and walked towards the door. Soon, he was out of Lu Zhiyao's sight.
Lu Zhiyao watched Lin Yinan leave with mixed emotions, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured out the pills inside. This medicine was different from ordinary ones, it was white. Lu Zhiyao smelled it, but there was no smell of medicine. What is this?
thing?
Lu Zhiyao thought about it and put the medicine into the porcelain bottle again. If it is really a good thing, it is never too late to take it. It is not too late to save it for later.
Lin Yinan returned to his mansion, rested for the night, and got busy the next day. The news that they encountered assassins on their trip was quickly spread after they came back. Although Lin Yinan kept most of the visitors outside, he could
Some people still have to see them.
After a busy day, Lin Yinan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the appearance of Lin Yixiang made Lin Yinan's good mood suddenly disappear.
"What are you here for?"
Lin Yinan's rather unhappy tone made Lin Yixiang stunned for a moment. Sitting opposite Lin Yinan, Lin Yixiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't come?"
"If you are talking about something useless, then there is really no need to come here." Lin Yinan took a sip of tea with a chill in his eyes. "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I just came to see you."
"Really?" Lin Yinan glanced at Lin Yixiang and said, "Every time you come to me, your words are the same. So this time, I think there will be no exception. Is it about the assassin?"
Lin Yixiang saw through Lin Yinan, so he stopped going around in circles, nodded directly, and replied: "Yes. I wanted to ask if you have any clues."
Lin Yinan stopped moving and put the teacup on the table. Looking at Lin Yixiang deeply, Lin Yinan was not as casual as usual, and said with a serious expression: "What clues do I have? This is what you have to ask yourself, or the prince
I asked you to ask?"
"Of course it's me."
"Well, since it's you, I'll tell you the truth." Lin Yinan and Lin Yichen have indeed had many conflicts over the years, overtly or covertly. But like this time, they first killed two ministers around them,
This is the first time that he has blatantly acted like an assassin. And Lin Yinan doesn't believe this, and Lin Yixiang doesn't know anything about it.
Lin Yinan has never objected to his brother or anything he chooses. Including him siding with the prince and opposing himself. Just as Lu Zhiyao said, everyone has his or her own reasons.
It's not easy for me personally. Lin Yinan also understands this very well. But facing his relatives' repeated attacks, if Lin Yinan said that he was not angry at all, it would be a lie. What's more, this time, an outsider was involved.
Come in.
"I have told you more than once that I have no intention of competing with the prince for anything. This time, it is really the last time I will say this. I also ask the emperor to take these words back to the prince and the queen. If the prince is always afraid of me
If there is any threat to his throne, then I can marry a wife like you, the emperor brother, and then ask my father to grant me a throne. In the future, the throne will basically have nothing to do with me. However, if I should do
I have done all the things and you are still unforgiving, then I will no longer pretend that nothing happened. I don’t have no reason to go to war with you, do you understand?"
[I crawled out of the same state as Xiang, here comes the second update.]
