Chapter 77: The Evil Wolf Returns to Beijing
Yudie listened to Lu Zhiyao's words and smiled a little embarrassedly. "Miss is serious, why am I embarrassed to trouble Miss."
"You're serious, it's just a matter of having a meal, if he doesn't come, don't we all have to eat?" Lu Zhiyao glanced at Yu Die with a little reproach, and then continued to ask: "By the way, Yu Die, I haven't heard you say that this old gentleman who taught you medical skills, which Lang Zhong in the city is it?" Or, which pharmacy is it from? ”
"This ......" Yudie thought about it seriously, then shook her head, "I haven't heard him mention it." ”
"Then how did he tell you that the capital has not been peaceful lately? What else was said? Lu Zhiyao asked the question he wanted to ask the most, but he didn't have much hope, after all, the matter of the dead man was already known to many people.
Yu Die took a deep breath with a solemn expression, staring at Lu Zhiyao's eyes, Yu Die thought for a moment, and then opened her mouth with determination, and said: "The master didn't let me say it, but I heard Wan Yue say that the two ministers who died recently seem to have something to do with the Eighth Prince, so I think it's better to tell Miss." ”
Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao's eyes flash, and he sat up straight and looked at her intently.
"The master didn't actually say anything, but there was something I thought was quite strange. He said...... The evil wolf is going back to Beijing, and the capital will not be peaceful during this time, so let me be careful. ”
"Does he know that you are my maid?"
"He knew that I was a slave in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also asked me who my master was. Because when I met him before, I often went to collect medicine for you, and at that time he laughed at me, saying that I am not a medicine seller, why do I always pick some kind of medicinal herbs. I didn't think much about it, and when I saw that he didn't look like a city person, I casually told him, saying that it was for you, Miss, and then he didn't say anything. ”
The evil wolf is going back to Beijing? What does this mean exactly? Does it have anything to do with the two recent murders?
Lu Zhiyao thought about it thoughtfully, and felt that this old man was a little interesting. Yudie is just a little girl, even if there is a big turmoil in the capital, what does it have to do with her? Unless something happens to this prime minister's mansion, it is possible to affect her......
Lu Zhiyao's expression was suddenly stunned, and then he stood up from the chair.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao's uneasy gaze and asked nervously.
"It's okay, you go out first, let me think about it." Lu Zhiyao's mind was a little confused, who is this Yudie's master? What he said to Yu Die, was it for Yu Die, or did he want Yu Die to bring to him? The wolf returns to Beijing...... There are many ministers in the DPRK who are in Beijing, and many of them are sent to various places, which wolf is he referring to?
Lu Zhiyao was not clear about the affairs of the DPRK, and Lu Yuanzheng didn't say anything when he came back on weekdays, and his mouth was very tight. Ye Lianrong may know what to say, but it is impossible to tell herself honestly. Lin Yinan's side, I'm afraid I'm upset, and Lu Zhiyao doesn't want to trouble him for anything. So for the rest, who else can tell her what she wants to know?
Lu Zhiyao kept trying to search in her mind for someone who could tell her some news. After thinking about it for a long time, she thought of Lan Ruoya.
Lan Ruoya is also a member of the imperial court, running outside every day, and there is a lot of news about Zhilu Dao, so it shouldn't be difficult to find her.
Lu Zhiyao thought so, so he immediately did it. Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, Lu Zhiyao walked towards the Yamen in the northwest direction. Seeing that she had already arrived at the door, she was about to ask where Lan Ruoya, the guard at the door, was, but Lu Zhiyao suddenly saw someone she didn't want to see.
"What are you doing here?" Yin Jian looked at Lu Zhiyao, who was about to open his mouth to say something, and walked slowly to her side and asked in a cold voice.
Lu Zhiyao saw that it was Yin Jianli, and swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth back into his stomach. The road is narrow, I didn't expect to meet him here.
Lu Zhiyao only lowered his head and did not answer. Yin Jianli looked at Lu Zhiyao's silent appearance, and a sarcastic smile slowly rose on his lips.
"It doesn't mean that you want to come to the yamen to inquire and see when Chu Ziqian will come back, right?"
Yin Jian also thinks that Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian are a pair of adulterers, which is a good thing for Lu Zhiyao to some extent, so she is not prepared to quibble.
"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Lu Zhiyao whispered to Yin Jianli, and turned around to leave.
Yin Jianli looked at Lu Zhiyao's back, snorted coldly, and warned: "You'd better be honest, if Chu Ziqian really has the courage to come to the capital again, then he will definitely not be able to leave." ”
Lu Zhiyao turned his back to Yin Jianli, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled disdainfully. Beauty Pavilion and Chu Ziqian are half a catty and eight taels, Yin Jianli poses like a decent gentleman to show to whom?
Yin Jian was far away from seeing the landing, and continued to move forward to do his own business. Lan Ruoya, who was hiding in the shadows, waited until both of them left completely before she walked out.
"What did that woman tell you just now?" Lan Ruoya asked the guard at the door.
"I left without saying anything."
What is Lu Zhiyao doing here? Did you really come to find yourself?
Lan Ruoya was puzzled, but she didn't take the initiative to ask Lu Zhiyao for clarification. Busy until the evening, she returned to the Eight Emperors Mansion, patrolled around the Eight Emperors Mansion, and after finding no suspicious people, Lan Ruoya walked into Lin Yinan's courtyard. looked at Ling Yi, who was guarding in front of Lin Yinan's gate, and asked, "Did something happen today?" ”
"Nothing, don't worry."
Lan Ruoyan nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first." But she didn't take two steps, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Ling Yi, and asked, "Is the master asleep?" ”
"Surely not at this time, is there something to do with him?"
Lan Ruoyan hummed hesitantly, walked back to Lin Yinan's door, knocked on the door, and then walked in.
"What's the matter? Go ahead. Lin Yinan had already heard the conversation between Lan Ruoyan and Ling Yi just now, he put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at her.
Lan Ruoya told Lin Yinan about Lu Zhiyao's visit to the yamen today, and Lin Yinan smiled slightly after hearing it. "I know what to say, you can step down."
After dinner, Lu Zhiyao sat under the tree in the yard, his arms around his knees, his chin resting on his knees in a daze, the cool breeze blowing through, extremely comfortable and comfortable.
"Miss, be careful of the cold!" Wanyue and Yudie stood left and right, for fear that Lu Zhiyao's body would be uncomfortable. Lu Zhiyao was nagged by them a lot, so he had to stand up. Looking at the two of them with a slight light in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You say, if everyone in the capital says in the future, I am yin/woman, what will the two of you do?" ”
"It doesn't matter! It's not like Miss hasn't been said before! Wanyue was straightforward and fast-talking, and replied without thinking about it, so that Yudie immediately raised her hand and slapped her on the back, and Wanyue realized it later.
"Miss, is something happening? Which one is chewing the root of the ear in front of you again? Wanyue shrunk her neck uncomfortably and asked cautiously.
"You're right, I'm used to it anyway, it doesn't matter." Lu Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief calmly, "Nothing happened, I just thought about it and asked casually." Let's go, let's go back to the house. ”
"I'll boil water for Miss, and rest when I'm done bathing." Yudie turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and Wanyue also followed quickly, leaving Lu Zhiyao alone to go back to the room.
Lu Zhiyao had just entered the house, and within a moment, he heard the door open. Thinking that it was Wanyue coming back, she didn't pay much attention to it. While taking off his robe and throwing it on the table, he waited for the moon to come in. But when she saw who the person who entered the house was, she couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
The expression on Lin Yinan's face was embarrassed and stiff for a moment, looking at the long shirt on the table, Lin Yinan coughed lightly, and then teased: "If you don't come now, will you come in when you take a bath for a while?" ”
"You're eavesdropping on us." Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips, grabbed his robe and hurriedly put it on again.
A smile crossed Lin Yinan's eyes, and after Lu Zhiyao was dressed, he walked over and sat on the chair, "You 'yin/woman' are incompetent, why are you so nervous?" ”
"It seems that the Eighth Prince came here to tease me?" Lu Zhiyao sat down beside Lin Yinan, poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.
Lin Yinan took a sip and turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao. "I thought you were going to drink wine."
"Don't kid the Eighth Prince, you've seen a teapot with wine in it. Besides, I'm a big drinker, and I drink a lot, if I usually open my mouth to drink, I'm afraid that the whole prime minister's mansion would have been overturned by me. ”
"You know the way, too." Lin Yinan thought about Lu Zhiyao's appearance after getting drunk, and replied meaningfully, listening to Lu Zhiyao was a little awkward.
"What's the matter with the Eighth Prince?" Lu Zhiyao remembered what was going on, and asked with a serious expression.
"Didn't you have something to do with me?" Lin Yinan asked rhetorically, after seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused face, his brows furrowed slightly, "Then what are you going to the yamen to find Lan Ruoyan for?" ”
Lu Zhiyao was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Yinan to know everything. "I want to ask Miss Lan for help, but I don't want to find you from the Eighth Prince."
"She can help you, can't this prince?" When Lin Yinan heard Lu Zhiyao say this, for some reason, a feeling of loss flashed in his heart.
Lu Zhiyao carelessly didn't notice the displeasure in Lin Yinan's words, sighed heavily, and said, "But the Eighth Prince is so helpful, then I'll ask you directly." Eighth Prince, do you know if there are any expatriate officials who are going back to Beijing recently? ”
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao with deep eyes, and couldn't guess what tricks this girl was going to play, so he asked puzzledly, "Why are you asking this?" ”
