Chapter 46: Clues
Pulling the quilt with one hand, Lu Zhiyao sat up slowly. Everything that happened last night did not disappear from her mind because she had drunk, and with a long sigh, Lu Zhiyao looked up at the roof.
Drinking and making mistakes, it's really not a joke.
After changing his clothes and washing up, Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room. When he met Wanyue head-on, he realized that he didn't get up too late, or that the timing was just right, because lunch had just been prepared.
Lu Zhiyao walked to the place where he was eating, pushed the door and went in, Lin Yinan was already there. Gently raising his eyes and glancing at Lu Zhiyao, Lin Yinan didn't react. Lu Zhiyao automatically sat down opposite him and gave up the position next to him. The two ate silently, Lin Yinan was the one who finished eating first, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Lin Yinan walked straight to Lu Zhiyao's side. The long arm stretched out and pressed it on the table. The long body slowly lowered, and at the gaze projected by Lu Zhiyao, Lin Yinan smiled slightly and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask me for today?" ”
Lu Zhiyao took a breath, then gritted his teeth and replied: "No!" ”
Lin Yinan let out an "oh" in disappointment, then stood up straight, put away the cynical look he had just had, and said, "Ling Yi and Ruo Aya will accompany you into the palace later, I have something to go out, and I may not come back when." ”
"No, no, no." Lu Zhiyao waved his hand, and couldn't wait for Lin Yinan to leave. After Lin Yinan walked out, Lu Zhiyao also felt a lot more relaxed.
After eating and drinking, Lu Zhiyao returned to the room. Put down the long hair that was simply coiled up before, pull it up again, and bring on a gorgeous and cold beaded hairpin. After getting it done, Lu Zhiyao looked at himself in the mirror, sat for a while, and then took Ling Yi and Lan Ruoyan into the palace.
Seeing the emperor very easily, Lin Yunlong called the rest of the people out, and then straightened up and looked at Lu Zhiyao, who was not easy to enter the palace alone.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yunlong asked directly.
"Back to my father, it's about Liu Yiyu."
Lin Yunlong had asked Lu Zhiyao to investigate Liu Yiyu before, but there had been a lot of things recently, and he forgot about it. Now that I heard that Lu Zhiyao entered the palace for this matter, I couldn't help but be a little curious, I don't know if Lu Zhiyao found any interesting clues.
"Tell me about it." Lin Yunlong adjusted his posture and looked like he was listening. Seeing this, Lu Zhiyao didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the topic.
"I've been secretly watching Liu Yiyu's actions, and just as my father suspected, she hasn't stopped contacting the people over there since she returned to the country of Xialai. Even now, too. ”
"What is the reason for the contact? What is their purpose? ”
After Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yunlong fixedly, he continued: "The recent incident about 'sin' has given almost everyone a headache. But did my father ever think that this matter might be related to Liu Yiyu? Not only Liu Yiyu, but maybe some of us. ”
Lin Yunlong frowned, he didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to say such a thing.
"Go on." Lin Yunlong looked at Lu Zhiyao intently and ordered.
"As far as I know, there are people from the Qing Netherworld in the capital now, and there are quite a few of them. I suspect that the so-called 'sin' is their group. During this time, I found that not only Liu Yiyu was connected with them, but also the crown prince. ”
"Prince? Are you sure? Lin Yunlong's brows furrowed even tighter.
"If the matter is not clarified, I don't dare to enter the palace to say these words to my father. The matter of the four princes, I think my father should have some doubts, how could a good person be in such a short period of time and his body would fail? And it happened shortly after the decree was issued. The fourth brother has always lived in the palace, and all he eats is the things in the palace, if he is poisoned, then who will be the person who poisoned him? Where did this poison come from? ”
Even if Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything about this matter, Lin Yunlong knew that it had nothing to do with Lin Yichen's side. As for the rest......
"According to what you mean, Prince Luo and Princess Luo also know about this matter?"
"I don't dare to say this, but Father, if you don't play a full set of plays, if you don't act more really, how can you deceive everyone's eyes? Whether it was the attack on Prince Luo's mansion or the riot in the palace that night, in fact, no important people died, right? No matter how many inconsequential people die, they are just minions, that doesn't tell the story. And I think there is one thing, father, you must not know the way. That is Imperial Doctor Ruan, who is now from the prince's side. ”
Lin Yunlong's hand shook without a trace, and then let go.
"Is that true?" Lin Yunlong asked coldly.
"Father doesn't need to be angry, I think the Imperial Doctor Ruan has no choice but to do it, because the Ruan Mansion has been targeted to death by the Prince's people. If I'm not mistaken, Imperial Doctor Ruan must have been poisoned, so he agreed to the prince's conditions. As for why he didn't tell his father, it should be that he didn't have this opportunity. There are people from the prince inside and outside the palace, and Imperial Doctor Ruan has no such opportunity at all. Once you are close to your father, the people in his family will be in danger. Besides......"
"And what?"
"Besides, the crown prince hasn't attacked his father yet, so Imperial Doctor Ruan didn't take the risk of risking his life to tell his father about it."
"Who else knows about this?" Lin Yunlong lowered his head, as if he was making a decision.
"The stakes are so high, I didn't dare to tell anyone, only me and the Eighth Prince knew." Lu Zhiyao carefully observed the changes in Lin Yunlong's expression, and he didn't know how much he could believe what he said today. But according to the emperor's consistent habit of being a western, even if he doesn't believe it, he will definitely send someone to investigate. As long as the emperor makes a move, Lu Zhiyao will not be afraid of the rest.
"Liu Yiyu will regularly contact the people of the Qing Netherworld, and she is controlled by those people."
"So, where are the people of the Qing Netherworld hiding, have you also found out?"
"It's not clear, their hiding place is not fixed, it can be said that there are their strongholds inside and outside the city, and it is not easy to catch them. This group is obviously different from the last time they came, but Father, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"You have said it or not, you have said it, not bad for this sentence."
"Even if they are different from those last time, they are still from the Blue Underworld. If you want to get here, you have to go through the border and you have to ...... Pass safely from under the nose of General Nangong. ”
One mistake can be said to be unintentional, but two times the same mistake is not ordinary. If this continues, Nangong Lingfeng and the soldiers he led are undoubtedly like decorations, completely useless. These people can come once, twice, three or four times. Lu Zhiyao thought, Lin Yunlong must know this truth better than himself.
Lu Zhiyao's words made Lin Yunlong's heart sink, although from his face, he was still as calm as ever. But I still feel uncomfortable.
There is a part of their Nangong family in this world, and their merits Lin Yunlong has never forgotten. It is precisely because of this that the arrogance of the Nangong family will grow day by day and evolve into today's situation. They were the ones who fought the world for themselves at the beginning, and now they are the ones who want to overthrow the world? If what Lu Zhiyao said is true, then the goal of the Nangong family and the crown prince could not be more obvious, that is, himself, this throne.
"You go back first, don't let others know about this matter, I will announce your entry into the palace in the next few days."
Lu Zhiyao was naturally willing to leave when he reached his goal, and when he walked out of Lin Yunlong's sight, Lu Zhiyao went to find Zi Ningshuang and Lin Ruoxue. The day after tomorrow, Lin Ruoxue was about to leave here, and when she saw Lu Zhiyao, she pounced, if it wasn't for Lu Zhiyao's fast flash, the wound would definitely be implicated.
"Eighth sister-in-law, I thought I wouldn't see you anymore!"
"Nonsense, it's not like you're not coming back." Lu Zhiyao patted Lin Ruoxue's head and walked towards Zi Ningshuang.
After a brief greeting, Zi Ningshuang asked about Lu Zhiyao about the Qing Netherworld.
"Are those people still having trouble with you?"
"No, I haven't seen them lately." Lu Zhiyao's expression was naturally lying, so that Zi Ningshuang didn't see anything. "Niangniang took Xiaoxue away this time, I don't know when she will come back? It shouldn't be too far from the capital, right? ”
Looking at the emperor's attitude towards the mother and daughter, he knew that he would not let them go too far from his control.
"What difference does it make if you don't go or not?" Zi Ningshuang smiled coldly, no matter where she went, she was surrounded by Lin Yunlong's people. If it's not safe inside the palace, how good will it be outside the palace? But she didn't bother to argue with him, whatever he said, that's what it was, anyway, for so many years, she has always been the suppressed party.
"I don't know when I'll come back, when the time comes, the emperor will naturally send someone to pick it up."
Lu Zhiyao heard a trace of helplessness from Zi Ningshuang's words, but she didn't have a position to say anything, let alone ask tentatively, what was the reaction of Lord Mu to this matter.
Thinking about Lin Mubai, he didn't shy away from entering the palace to see the two of them in the capital, once he was away from the sight of the emperor and so many people in the future, he should be even more passing, right? It's just that Lu Zhiyao can't figure it out a little, isn't the palace the safest place? Why does the emperor want Lin Ruoxue's mother and daughter to leave here? Could it be that he has a more secluded and safe hiding place?
Lu Zhiyao stayed here for almost an hour and a half before getting up and going back to the Eight Emperors' Mansion. At this time, Lin Yinan had not returned.
Although Lin Yinan didn't say it, Lu Zhiyao guessed that he should have gone to see Xuanyuan Junfan. I don't know what Xuanyuan Junfan's lying skills are, if he is seen through, it will be difficult to do......
In order to allow Lin Yinan to have contact with Xuanyuan Junfan, Lu Zhiyao can be said to have taken great pains and thought of any way.
