Chapter 80: A Great Tribulation Strikes
Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian walked back, wandered around for a while while passing by the downtown area, and went to the restaurant under the name of the Chu family to eat something, so Lu Zhiyao was satisfied.
Chu Ziqian knew that Lu Zhiyao was not a peaceful person, and staying in the house honestly was not in line with her character at all, just because the situation in Jingzhong was too complicated now, so she couldn't do whatever she wanted, so she went with her.
Lin Yixiang rushed back to the capital after finishing his work, and his eyes sank when he saw the picture of Chu Ziqian and Lu Zhiyao walking side by side. Sure enough, this Chu Ziqian didn't go to the appointment.
Lu Zhiyao walked around, passed by a few shops of the Chu family and the Gu family, and talked to Chu Ziqian in a low voice.
"How is the Gu family's business lately?"
"It's about the same as when Gu Ran was alive, thanks to you, Mrs. Gu is also very cooperative."
Lu Zhiyao killed Gu Shi in front of Li Yuzhen at the beginning, and Li Yuzhen still trembles when she thinks about it now, and she can't help herself with fear. In addition, her current life is really good, as long as she acts and pretends to be every day, she will be inexhaustible in terms of delicious food and use. Chu Ziqian never set her back on how much money she had to spend every month, and Li Yuzhen didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of her uneasiness, and she was very satisfied with the current situation. Therefore, the Gu family's business is getting better day by day, and Li Yuzhen's name is getting bigger and bigger in the capital day by day, and she is well-known to everyone.
They only knew that the wife of the Gu family supported the Gu family alone after the old man's son and brother-in-law died. It's hard, so many people have died, but he really has some ability. So the rumors and rumors at the beginning gradually disappeared, and there were more and more voices of praise and admiration. But no one knew that the Gu family could have everything today, it was all the credit of the Chu family, and no one knew that all the money earned by the Gu family fell into the pockets of the Chu family, as well as the Eight Emperors' Mansion.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian had just mentioned Li Yuzhen, and Li Yuzhen was found in front of them.
Li Yuzhen had to go around the shops every day and then go back, she came out of a shop, and saw a familiar person after walking a few steps.
When she recognized the person as Lu Zhiyao, a frightened expression suddenly appeared on her face. He staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately the minions behind him helped him.
Lu Zhiyao smiled when he saw Li Yuzhen's reaction and walked directly towards her. Lu Zhiyao didn't change his face when he killed Gu Shi, because he decided that Li Yuzhen didn't know him, and he didn't have much chance to see him, so he didn't spend that time.
"Mrs. Gu, don't come unharmed?" Lu Zhiyao spoke softly, but Li Yuzhen, who listened to it, trembled.
The slave standing behind Li Yuzhen frowned when he saw this scene, he didn't know Lu Zhiyao, but Chu Ziqian did.
"Young Master Chu, what are you looking for our wife?"
"Shut up!" Li Yuzhen didn't wait for Chu Ziqian to say anything, turned around and reprimanded the shopkeeper sharply. "Is it your turn to speak here?"
Li Yuzhen's momentum as a family member couldn't help but smile when Lu Zhiyao saw it, and Chu Ziqian also moved the corners of his mouth. After all, she is the wife of a big family, and the situation that she should have has has been formed over the years, which can't deceive people, and you don't have to pretend to be deliberate.
Chu Ziqian stood with his hands in his hands, stood beside Lu Zhiyao, leaned forward slightly, leaned down in Li Yuzhen's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who she is?" ”
Li Yuzhen nodded slightly, and then shook her head violently.
"Okay, don't scare her." Lu Zhiyao smiled and said to Chu Ziqian: "Let's go, it's time to go back." ”
Chu Ziqian and Lu Zhiyao left, and Li Yuzhen stood in place for a long time before recovering from her original state, and her face had some ruddy color.
I haven't seen Lu Zhiyao for so long, but Lu Zhiyao's murderous and unblinking appearance is deeply engraved in Li Yuzhen's mind. She took a deep breath and walked towards the next shop under the strange gaze of the servant.
Lin Yixiang, who had witnessed everything, felt that something was wrong when he saw Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian talking to Li Yuzhen, and after Lu Zhiyao and the two left, he stepped forward to follow Li Yuzhen and stopped Li Yuzhen at the corner where there were few people.
Li Yuzhen, who was frightened one after another, couldn't help but scream, Lin Yixiang moved to knock down the minions she was with, looked at the head of the Gu family coldly, and asked, "The woman who just spoke to you, do you know her identity?" ”
Li Yuzhen looked left and right in a panic, and couldn't find anyone who could save her. With a far-fetched smile, she kept backing away, "What is this son talking about, I don't understand." ”
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me." Lin Yixiang smiled coldly and didn't eat her. "No wonder the Gu family's business has been booming recently, and it turns out that the Eighth Imperial Concubine is secretly helping. Since you know the Eighth Imperial Concubine, don't you know who I am? ”
"Eight, eight princesses?!" Li Yuzhen gasped when she heard these three words, and almost lost her breath.
"Why, you don't know who she is?" Lin Yixiang looked at Li Yuzhen suspiciously, and felt more and more suspicious about this matter.
Li Yuzhen swallowed her saliva, how could she guess Lu Zhiyao's identity? The Eighth Imperial Princess? These three words have nothing to do with murderers!
"This son, did you recognize the wrong person?" Li Yuzhen was already scared to cry, it would naturally not be a good thing to have a relationship with that woman, she just wanted to live a peaceful life now, and just keep going.
Lin Yixiang didn't say much else, and directly arrested people back to Prince Luo's mansion. When Li Yuzhen saw the mansion in front of her and listened to the guards call the man in front of her "prince", she wished that she would faint now, and she didn't know anything.
was "invited" into the room by Lin Yixiang, Li Yuzhen was nervous, not knowing what was about to happen, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
This man is Prince Luo, so what he just said must be true! Prince Luo's Mansion, the Eight Emperors' Mansion, think about it, none of them can be provoked by her, a common person.
Lin Yixiang was accustomed and anxious, so he actually entered his bedroom with Nangong Nuo'er. Nangong Nuo'er was closing her eyes in the room to recuperate, and when she heard the door ringing, she opened her eyes and looked, but she saw Lin Yixiang come back with a middle-aged woman.
Lin Yixiang realized his mistake after seeing Nangong Nuo'er, and turned around to leave, but heard Nangong Nuo'er's ridiculous voice.
"Yo? When did the prince change this taste? ”
Li Yuzhen is no longer a girl like a flower, yes, but she is still charming.
"Don't talk nonsense, she was just brought back by me for questioning!" Lin Yixiang frowned and said back.
"Really? It doesn't matter, do you want me to make way for the prince? With that, Nangong Nuo'er got up from the rocking chair and made a gesture to go out.
"Not necessarily." Lin Yixiang snorted coldly, grabbed Li Yuzhen's clothes and walked out.
Nangong Nuo'er stood stiffly for a while and sat back in the rocking chair. Closing her eyes, which were already a little moist, she calmed herself.
Lin Yixiang took Li Yuzhen to another room and continued to ask him about what he asked before.
What will Lu Zhiyao know with Li Yuzhen? Li Yuzhen doesn't know Lu Zhiyao's identity, so what is Lu Zhiyao's purpose in looking for her? The Gu family's previous successive murders, is it related to Lu Zhiyao?
Li Yuzhen listened to Lin Yixiang's inquiry, but couldn't answer any of them. She didn't dare to tell the truth, and she didn't dare to tell lies.
"Lord Wang." With a pop, Li Yuzhen knelt on the ground. "I'm just a grass people, I really don't know anything, please let me go!"
Kowtowing a few times in a row, Li Yuzhen begged.
"The king is just asking you a few questions, and if you answer honestly, you will return home safe and sound, and the king promises not to mention the meeting with you today. If you don't answer......"
Li Yuzhen gritted her teeth, how could she answer?
Li Yuzhen, who didn't know how to be good, was terrified, Lin Yixiang had time to rely on her. First, he sent the servants out of the palace to send the two slaves who were knocked out by him to the palace, and then told the people in the Gu mansion that their wife was now a guest in Prince Luo's mansion, so that they didn't have to worry.
In this way, Li Yuzhen stayed in Prince Luo's Mansion until dark, and there was no official report from the Gu family, and no one came out to look for her.
Even if Lin Yixiang has a good temper during this time, Li Yuzhen knows in his heart, they are all royal heirs, whose temper can be really good? She either shows her attitude and doesn't say anything, otherwise she just doesn't know what to do if it drags on like this.
Constantly weighing the status of the Eight Emperors' Mansion and Prince Luo's Mansion in his heart, Li Yuzhen finally compromised.
In any case, the Prince Luo in front of him is the prince and the future emperor. The status is naturally higher than that of the Eighth Prince.
"Lord Wang, if the grass people tell you the truth, then ......"
"Don't worry, this king will keep you safe." Lin Yixiang suppressed the impatience in his eyes, interrupted Li Yuzhen's words with a smile, and gave her the answer she wanted.
Li Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, and then told Lin Yixiang the general story of the incident in a confused way.
The more Lin Yixiang listened, the more shocked he became, that Lu Zhiyao would do such a thing? According to Li Yuzhen's words, isn't the Gu family's business Lin Yinan's? Coupled with the Chu family's side, do the math, how much family does Lin Yinan have now? What is his purpose in doing this?
Li Yuzhen finished what she had to say, and she didn't see any reaction from Lin Yixiang for a long time. Just when she thought that Lin Yixiang was going to be angry, Lin Yixiang suddenly said, "This king sent someone to send you back." ”
Li Yuzhen returned to the Gu Mansion without danger, and as soon as she entered her room, she fell to the ground limp. Thinking back on everything she experienced today, Li Yuzhen has a feeling of imminent disaster. was already able to anticipate the picture of her death, Li Yuzhen thought about it and decided to leave here with all her belongings, leave the capital, and escape to a place where no one knew her!
