Lin Mubai suddenly appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion and brought the imperial edict. After Lu Zhiyao listened to it, he was dumbfounded and did not react for a long time. Until the impatient Lu Yuanzheng pushed her hard from behind, Lu Zhiyao
Yao Cai glanced at Lu Yuanzheng belatedly, then knelt down with a confused look on his face and accepted the order.
Lin Mubai put the imperial edict into Lu Zhiyao's hand expressionlessly. Looking at Lu Zhiyao with eyes full of disbelief, Lin Mubai asked in a low voice: "Didn't he tell you anything?"
"Who? The Eighth Prince?" Lu Zhiyao asked doubtfully. After seeing Lin Mubai nod, Lu Zhiyao shook his head and answered honestly: "No."
Lu Zhiyao originally wanted to go to Lin Yinan to ask for details after Lin Mubai left. But unexpectedly, Lin Mubai told her that Lin Yinan had left the capital. If he came back, he would have to wait for their big wedding in a few months.
At marriage.
Lu Zhiyao sent Lin Mubai away dumbfounded, not feeling any joy at all because of this imperial edict. When Lu Yuanzheng welcomed him into the study with a smile on his face, Lu Zhiyao answered his questions absentmindedly, and after hearing
Lu Yuanzheng cautiously asked when Lin Yinan and Prince Mu had such a good relationship. Lu Zhiyao could only answer him by saying he didn't know. Because this was also a fact.
Lu Yuanzheng had just married off his second daughter, and his eldest daughter was asked to marry again by the emperor so quickly, and it was Prince Mu who announced the decree. How could he be unhappy? He didn't notice anything was wrong with Lu Zhiyao.
Yuan Zheng thought she was overly happy and didn't know what to say, so he let her go back.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion fell into joy because of this imperial edict, except of course Ye Lianrong.
Ye Lianrong was very happy when she learned that Lin Mubai opposed the marriage between Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan and took the initiative to express his attitude to the emperor. But now, she was undoubtedly arrested last time on the day of her daughter's wedding.
After Lin Yinan mocked him, he was slapped hard in the face again by Lin Mubai. What on earth is going on? Could it be that Ye Shengnan got the wrong information again?!
"Yuechan! Go to Ye Mansion and ask me what is going on!" Ye Lianrong slapped the table and ordered the maid behind her, Yuechan, to immediately go to Ye Shengnan and ask for details. Yuechan did not dare to delay and quickly got up. But here she is.
In Ye Mansion, the scene I saw was not much better than that of Ye Lianrong.
As soon as the news of Lin Mubai's appearance on behalf of Lin Yinan came out, many people in the prince's faction began to panic. Ye Shengnan and Ye Zhihua looked at Yuechan who had come specially and quickly asked her about the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After listening to Yuechan's words
, the father and son looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Madam asked me to ask what is going on." Yuechan observed the expressions of the two people and asked cautiously.
"You go back first and tell Madam that I will go see her after I find out." Ye Shengnan waved Yuechan away and stood up and sat down irritably. He looked at Ye Zhihua who also had an uneasy expression.
Asked: "Dad, what kind of trick do you think Prince Mu is playing?"
"What tricks have nothing to do with us. Before the prince has spoken, you are not allowed to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, tell your sister, and you are not allowed to provoke that Lu Zhiyao again." Ye Zhihua was feeling uneasy, and he felt more and more that this Lu Zhiyao was not good.
Deal with it. "The Eighth Prince unexpectedly left the capital suddenly before the imperial edict was issued. I don't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, or because he couldn't stand the weather in the capital."
The capital has been extremely hot and muggy in recent days, and everyone knows that Lin Yinan can't stand the heat.
"You stay at home, I will go into the palace to find out the news from the Seventh Prince." Ye Zhihua warned Ye Shengnan worriedly. After entering the palace, he found Lin Yixiang and directly explained his purpose of coming.
Because Lin Yixiang had visited Lin Yinan before, he also knew that Lin Yinan was determined to marry Lu Zhiyao. But what he didn't expect was that Lin Yinan could actually invite Lin Mubai to announce the matter. There must be more than one now.
The two of them wanted to meet Lin Mubai and explore his story, but unfortunately they were turned away by Lin Mubai.
"There is no need to rush this matter. His marriage to Lu Zhiyao was originally planned by the prince. As for Prince Mu, the prince and the queen have their own ways to win over him. You just need to wait for the prince to issue orders. You don't need to interfere with anything else.
.”
"Wei Chen understands." Ye Zhihua nodded, and then asked doubtfully, "Then the marriage will be held after the eighth prince returns?"
"Whatever the emperor's imperial edict is written depends on how it is implemented. This is beyond our control."
After listening to Lin Yixiang's words, Ye Zhihua didn't get any news and returned to Ye Mansion obediently. After he left, Lin Yixiang hesitated again and again and took Lu Zhiqing to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Zhiyao has been confused by the news ever since he received the imperial edict. Lin Yinan chose the right time to escape, so that Lu Zhiyao could not even ask him why. What he had said to Lin Yinan before,
It’s all in vain. But even if you marry him, what will happen to Prince Mu?
"Miss, why do you look so unhappy?" Wan Yue looked at Lu Zhiyao in confusion. She really couldn't figure out what she was thinking. The emperor granted her a marriage, and the matter between her and the eighth prince was settled. This was a big deal.
It's a happy event. Even if the Eighth Prince is not in the capital, there is no need for the young lady to sigh like this?
"You don't understand." Lu Zhiyao gave Wan Yue a helpless look, walked out of the room, and looked at the servants in his yard. Lu Zhiyao could only smile bitterly at the unusual enthusiasm for him. There was a feeling in his heart that he was manipulated by Lin Yinan
A feeling of togetherness.
Lu Zhiyao sat in the courtyard and blew the wind. If Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing hadn't appeared, she thought she might have sat quietly like this until the evening and spent the entire afternoon.
Lu Zhiyao saluted the two of them. After all, she was not the Eighth Imperial Concubine yet. She was naturally lower than the two of them. Looking into Lu Zhiqing's eyes, Lu Zhiyao could clearly see the resentment and displeasure in Lu Zhiqing's eyes, and his mood was unexpected.
Inexplicably feeling better. Lu Zhiyao turned to look at Lin Yixiang and was stunned for a moment. The first time he got married, he married this man. But the second time, did he marry his brother out of revenge?
"Can I talk to my sister alone for a while?" Lu Zhiqing looked back at Lin Yixiang expectantly. Lin Yixiang didn't expect that she would make such a request. He thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll go first.
go out."
Lin Yixiang went out to find Lu Yuanzheng. Lu Zhiyao and Lu Zhiqing were standing in the room. You looked at me and I looked at you. The atmosphere in the room gradually became tense.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and my sister is really impressed by her. The marriage to the Eighth Prince has been decided so quickly. I wonder what method my sister used to make the Eighth Prince so fascinated?"
Lu Zhiyao felt that Lin Yixiang's aura had disappeared. After sending all the maids away, she didn't have to worry about anything else when she spoke to Lu Zhiqing.
"Sister, you can't learn from my sister. If I marry the eighth prince, does it mean that I am closer to the seventh prince?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Lu Zhiqing because of his
After two sentences and an angry and ferocious expression, Lu Zhiyao continued in a good mood: "The Seventh Prince still hasn't told you about me and him, right? Why don't my sister go and ask in person? What do you think?"
"Shameless!" Lu Zhiqing gritted her teeth and said to Lu Zhiyao: "I will tell the seventh prince about this and see how he will marry you then!"
"How do you know that he doesn't know about this?" Lu Zhiyao's calm attitude made Lu Zhiqing furious. Apart from glaring at her fiercely, Lu Zhiqing couldn't think of anything else for a moment.
Find another way.
Lu Zhiyao knew that Lu Zhiqing had no brains, so he didn't take her to heart now. After Lin Yixiang came back from meeting Lu Yuanzheng, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yixiang with a serious expression and asked: "The seventh prince came here specially, didn't he?"
Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Lin Yixiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "You go out first." Lin Yixiang turned to Lu Zhiqing and said, although Lu Zhiqing was reluctant, she had no choice but to leave the room.
"Is the injury better?" Lin Yixiang looked at Lu Zhiyao's injured arm and asked softly.
"It won't heal that quickly, but it's nothing serious." Lu Zhiyao brushed off his injury and asked, "What does the Seventh Prince want to ask me?"
"It's nothing. I just heard that my father decreed the marriage between you and Lao Ba, so I came here to congratulate you. I also went to Lao Ba's place, but I didn't see him."
"I don't know when the Eighth Prince left." Lu Zhiyao smiled bitterly, then with a flash of his eyes, he said to Lin Yixiang: "Speaking of congratulations, I should be the one to congratulate the Seventh Prince."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Don't you know that the seventh prince doesn't know?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yixiang in surprise. After a moment of confusion, he said with a guilty conscience: "My sister just told me that she seemed to be happy. I thought it was such a big thing.
Seventh Prince, you already know."
After listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, Lin Yixiang's expression changed obviously. Lu Zhiyao looked at him intently and smiled without any trace. She still knew most of what Lin Yixiang liked and didn't like, just like Lin Yixiang didn't like it.
Just like a child.
Lu Zhiyao has forgotten when he talked about children with Lin Yixiang. Was it when he saw those children playing in the streets and alleys? Or was it a random topic when he was bored under the willows by the river? Lu Zhiyao suddenly discovered that for
Many of her memories with Lin Yixiang had begun to blur. Those memories that she once thought she would never forget disappeared silently into her mind.
Although she couldn't kill him now, she didn't want him to live a peaceful life.
"Seventh Prince, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yixiang with a troubled expression and asked, "Did I say something to make the Seventh Prince unhappy?"
