Chapter 10: Qu Wan'er Joins the Gang [Second Watch]
Jiang Han's identity is different from before, and if something happens to her, it will naturally become a topic of conversation in other people's mouths. Even people like Lin Yinuo, who have nothing to do with her, have things about her in their ears.
Lin Yinuo, who had just returned from the emperor's side, didn't wait for the chair to be hot, when he saw his henchman hurriedly coming over, saying that many people already knew about it.
"Jiang Han?" Lin Yinuo thought about the owner of this name, "Jiang Wei's daughter? β
"That's right, it's her."
"Heh, I didn't expect it to be quite lively outside this palace." Lin Yinuo pouted and smiled, so that the people in front of him couldn't guess his current thoughts. Lin Yinuo didn't say anything about this matter, whether it was the prince's matter or the eighth prince's matter, as long as the other party didn't find him, it had nothing to do with him.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yinuo let his subordinates go out. One sat there with a slightly melancholy expression.
What was once a quiet day has recently taken a drastic turn. And with the changes of everything around him, Lin Yinuo's mood is also quietly changing.
Lin Yinuo originally thought that the throne had nothing to do with him, it was just a game of competition between the crown prince and the eighth prince and others, he was just a bystander. But the emperor pushed Lin Yinuo in front of everyone without warning, so that a person who originally had no sense of existence in the palace became the focus of everyone's eyes in an instant.
What does that feel like? Lin Yinuo thought about it seriously. It's like being taken to a high place, and he can't get down if he wants to. I want to go up, but I can't go up.
Lin Yinuo is not bad compared to those other princes, in other words, which of the emperor's sons is worse? But even so, Lin Yinuo knew in his heart that the throne still had nothing to do with him. Even if there was already a glimmer of hope in his heart because of Lin Yunlong's actions, it still had no result.
The crown prince and the eighth prince are now fighting hotly, Jiang Han's matter illustrates this, Lin Yinuo doesn't know when he wants to make a "shield" to end, but then again, which prince does his father fancy in his heart? No matter how much this matter is delayed, it will always be resolved one day, right?
Liu Yiyu stayed in the room after Jiang Han left, and didn't come out of the room until the evening to take a breath, and at this time her condition was much better. By the time Liu Yiyu learned about Jiang Han's encounter with the assassin, it was already the second day.
"Dad, do you have any clues about who did it?" Liu Yiyu asked Liu Shengyuan in a low voice, "It won't have anything to do with the Eight Emperors' Mansion, right?" β
"I don't know what to do, no one can say anything about this matter now, I heard people from the yamen say that it may have something to do with some Jianghu sect."
"How can a good person mess with those people?" Liu Yiyu didn't believe this statement, but she didn't dare to assert who must have done it. accompanied Liu Shengyuan to Jiang Mansion to visit Jiang Han, and when he mentioned what happened yesterday, Jiang Han was still a little afraid.
There were a lot of guards standing outside Jiang Han's room, and when they saw Liu Yiyu and Liu Shengyuan coming, Jiang Han smiled forcefully and got up to greet him.
After some conversation, Liu Yiyu asked, "Didn't the queen arrange for someone to be on the side of the Eight Emperors' Mansion?" Are they really that bold? β
"Maybe they're not sure." Jiang Han didn't dare to say anything at this time, if it was really not done by the Eighth Emperor Mansion, then she was very worried that Lin Yinan would come to the door again one day. After the last incident, Jiang Han was already very afraid of Lin Yinan, and she really didn't want to talk to him face-to-face anymore as a last resort.
Lu Zhiyao had long thought that after all this happened, there would be a lot of strange eyes transferred to them. But she didn't care, she still did whatever she had to do every day under the noses of those guards.
When he heard Jiang Han's matter, Lu Zhiyao just smiled slightly and said, "It seems that my sister didn't just block the knife for me last time, maybe that person came for her." β
Lu Zhiyao's cool words were too obvious, so that Wanyue couldn't help but give her a look when she heard it. But Lu Zhiyao didn't care much, she was just secretly calculating when the show should be the most exciting.
Lu Zhiyao hadn't been there since he had been to Gu's Mansion that day, but he brought Chu Ziqian to explain some things to him, and then pushed the rest to Chu Ziqian.
Chu Ziqian was very reluctant to take this job, but he had no choice. The official level crushed people to death, not to mention that he was just an ordinary person.
Chu Ziqian's reluctant expression made Lu Zhiyao smile, and asked him teasingly if he should go to the Beauty Pavilion for a walk, but Chu Ziqian sneered, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao with a very resentful gaze, and said: "Since I met you, the young master's woman's popularity has been declining all the way, don't say those big words to comfort me, and the Beauty Pavilion is not opened by you." β
After Chu Ziqian finished speaking, he left in front of Lu Zhiyao with a cold face, Lu Zhiyao thought about the look in his eyes just now, and secretly examined, has he really wronged the eldest young master of the Chu family recently? It's really not okay for her to pay out of her own pocket and invite him to spend a night in the building?
Chu Ziqian avoided the sight of many enemies, and after leaving the Eight Emperors' Mansion, he went straight to the Gu Mansion. After saying hello to Zhan Yulong, who was in charge of monitoring Li Yuzhen here, and after asking about the situation here, Chu Ziqian walked in front of Li Yuzhen.
The stranger who suddenly broke in made Li Yuzhen reflexively scream in shock, Chu Ziqian frowned and covered her mouth, lowered his voice and warned: "If you shout again, I'll kill you!" β
Sure enough, this sentence is better than anything else, Chu Ziqian said some words to Li Yuzhen according to the method explained by Lu Zhiyao, indicating the purpose of his coming here. When he took the thick stack of account books from Li Yuzhen's hand, and heard Li Yuzhen say that there were some that could not be taken back in other people's hands for the time being, Chu Ziqian's face hidden under the mask was simply difficult to see to a certain extent.
These plus his own ones, even if he stays at home, it is enough for him to watch for a few days. The good years were wasted by Lang, Chu Ziqian couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the days to come, especially when he returned home and saw Su Shi crossing Erlang's legs, eating food and drinking wine and talking and laughing with Mu Ranchen.
"Look at this black face, as if someone owes you money." Su Shi glanced at Chu Ziqian and said sarcastically.
Su Shi and the others all knew what task Chu Ziqian was carrying out now, but no one else was proficient in doing business except him, so no one could help him in this matter.
"It's in my house, can't you be polite?" Chu Ziqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Shi, this kid eats him and lives with him every day, if it weren't for the face of the Eighth Prince, he really wanted to kick Su Shi out, and he kicked it in his face.
After the two fought for a while, Chu Ziqian resigned himself to his fate and went back to the room, no matter what, it can be regarded as making money for himself, and if he can't escape, he has to do it.
Chu Ziqian has his business to do, and several others are no exception. took turns to monitor the few people who were not good at coming from the Qing Netherworld, and they also had to take the time to cooperate with Lu Zhiyao's plan. Even a "lazy person" like Su Mozi was forced to run away with them.
Qu Wan'er's return can't be said to be good or bad, but when Li Muchen looked at the picture of her, Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao standing together, he always felt that something was wrong.
Lin Yinan's sharp gaze seemed to warn Qu Wan'er that if she dared to mess around, he would definitely not be polite to her. And Lu Zhiyao's side...... Qu Wan'er looked at Lu Zhiyao with a smile on the corner of her lips, looked at Lu Zhiyao's expressionless face and said: "The hostility of the Eighth Emperor Concubine is too obvious, I just took advantage of the Eighth Prince, don't hate me so much, right?" β
Qu Wan'er's words made Li Muchen's body stiffen, and he turned his head to look at Qu Wan'er and asked, "What did you do?" β
Qu Wan'er glanced at Li Muchen, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao. "Don't worry, good horses don't eat back grass, I've given up."
"Turning back grass? I don't remember when I ever let you eat it. Lin Yinan's cold voice came, making Qu Wan'er sigh heavily.
"Okay, I said it wrong, it's my wishful thinking, okay?" Qu Wan'er was a little impatient to end this topic, she raised her eyebrows at Lu Zhiyao, and said, "I heard that the Eighth Imperial Concubine has something interesting to do, don't you mind bringing me one?" β
Lu Zhiyao looked at Qu Wan'er quietly for a long time, and then said slowly: "Bring the free ones." β
"Is the Eight Emperors Mansion already poor enough to do this?" Qu Wan'er didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to say such a sentence, she asked after being silent for a moment.
The picture of Lu Zhiyao and Qu Wan'er getting along was a little different from what Lin Yinan had thought before, standing on the side and silently staring at Lu Zhiyao, and when Lu Zhiyao looked at it in confusion, a smile crossed Lin Yinan's eyes, and said to Li Muchen: "We should go." β
"This ......" Li Muchen was still a little worried about letting the two be alone, he couldn't know who Qu Wan'er was, and Lu Zhiyao was not easy to mess with. From what they said just now, Li Muchen had already sensed something, and now that he left, Lin Yinan was not afraid that these two would fight together? Li Muchen didn't think that with the current Lu Zhiyao, he would be Qu Wan'er's opponent.
Lin Yinan strode away, and Li Muchen had no choice but to follow after standing in place for a while. It's just that before leaving, he silently warned Qu Wan'er with his eyes not to mess around.
Qu Wan'er touched the tip of her nose after being glared at by Li Muchen, naturally sat on the stool, then looked at Lu Zhiyao, and asked, "The Eighth Imperial Concubine is not afraid that I will stay here and rob you of people?" β
"Whoever can snatch it will leave sooner or later, the problem is his, not yours." Lu Zhiyao clasped his hands in front of his chest, and swept Qu Wan'er up and down twice. "But you probably wanted me to see it last time, right?"
