Chapter 75: The Great Tribulation
Lu Zhiyao wrote slowly, put down the pen after a while, picked up the paper on the table and held it up in front of Lin Yinan with some ostentatiousness, and asked, "How?" ”
Lin Yinan looked at the lines written by Lu Zhiyao, which were completely indistinguishable from what he had just written, and sighed.
"It's my word, not yours."
Lu Zhiyao can imitate people's handwriting, which Lin Yinan already knew when she designed to frame the Ye family. But now that she wrote her own words so easily, Lin Yinan was still a little surprised in his heart.
"That's a lot to ask for." Lu Zhiyao shook his head wistfully and picked up the pen again.
Lin Yinan tilted his head to look at her, but he didn't see her writing any more. looked intently at the traces of her pen, and after a long time, the silence in the room was finally broken by Lu Zhiyao's brisk "painting".
Lin Yinan's smiling gaze shifted to her face as Lu Zhiyao wrote her name.
"Why bamboo?"
"Because bamboo is the best way to draw." Lu Zhiyao smiled unabashedly and replied: "What landscape drawings, flower and bird paintings, are too difficult for me. So I learned this to fool my dad at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be very useful. ”
Lu Zhiyao thought of himself and Xia Zhenkun at that time, and the smile on his face froze. In order to hide her distraction, she stood up with the painting and wanted to hang it aside, but when she just turned around, she heard Lin Yinan calling her name.
"Huh?" Lu Zhiyao didn't think much about it, and turned his head to look. only felt that her body was low, and Lin Yinan immediately met her lips, causing the painting in her hand to fall to the ground in an instant.
Lin Yinan's sudden action made Lu Zhiyao unable to dodge, and his body fell into his arms with his movements, and after Lin Yinan stopped, she could only lean on his chest, and her mind was a little trance.
"What are you thinking?"
The soft voice came again, bringing Lu Zhiyao back to his senses. Her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the ink inkstone, and the ink dripped down the table, smudging the painting she had just drawn. Lu Zhiyao sat up and stared at the painting for a while, then went to look at Lin Yinan and complained, "It's all your fault." ”
"Blame me for what? Wrong place? Okay, let's go back to the house. ”
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, he made a gesture to get up and take her back to the room.
Lu Zhiyao was in a hurry and hurriedly pressed his body. He casually tapped the only bit of ink left in the inkstone with his finger and wiped it on his face in retaliation.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's stunned expression, stood up with a satisfied smile and walked away. rubbed into the bed, covered the quilt and continued to sleep, but Lin Yinan sat there, staring at her ruined calligraphy and painting for a long time before turning off the lights, returning to her and falling asleep with her.
Lu Zhiyao has been thinking about ways to deal with Jiang Wei recently, wanting Jiang Wei to completely believe that the Beauty Pavilion belongs to Lin Yinan, and it is far from enough to say those words to him. Seeing is believing, you have to let Jiang Wei taste a little sweetness and see some things with your own eyes. But it's really not easy to find a place that is hidden and not easy to find, and can be as magnificent as the real Beauty Pavilion. Lu Zhiyao asked Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong for help, and it was not something that could be found in a day or two.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao was pulled out of the house by Lin Ruoxue when he was idle, and went out for a walk. When Lin Yinan saw the two of them going out, he followed behind on a whim.
There were people coming and going on the street, and the shouts of the hawkers came and went, Lin Ruoxue still couldn't change the problem of seeing everything fresh and curious, Lu Zhiyao could only follow her with a wry smile, and took out the silver to buy her some gadgets.
"Eighth sister-in-law, is that Lord Jiang?" Lin Ruoxue's eyes rolled around, and after looking at a person, she dragged Lu Zhiyao and asked.
Lu Zhiyao looked at it, smiled slightly, took Lin Ruoxue to Jiang Wei's side, and said, "Since you bumped into it, let's go over and say a few words." ”
Jiang Wei saw Lu Zhiyao and Lin Ruoxue, and hurriedly greeted him. There were too many people around, so he could only owe a little, and then whispered to the two.
"I didn't expect to meet the Eighth Emperor Concubine and the princess here, why didn't I bring a guard out?" Jiang Wei looked behind the two of them, and didn't see the other entourage, "Now the capital is not as good as before, it's not peaceful, the two of them are not like Weichen, they are both noble, it's better to be careful." ”
"Look at what Lord Jiang said, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know your name now." Lu Zhiyao chuckled and said, "The two of us are just walking around casually, and we'll go back in a while." ”
Jiang Wei smiled and talked to the two, but soon, the conversation between the few people was interrupted by another person.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at the person dressed as a Taoist priest, looked at him frowning and looked Jiang Wei up and down, then stroked his beard, shook his head, and said: "Born rich and fatal, it's a pity, you will have a big catastrophe after thirty years, and you will be sad." ”
Jiang Wei sneered, and was about to open his mouth to drive him away, but when he heard Lu Zhiyao open his mouth, his face changed suddenly.
"Thirty years later?" Lu Zhiyao looked at the Taoist priest with a strange expression, and said openly: "Could it be that the grave was dug up?" ”
As soon as Lu Zhiyao's words were finished, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Lin Ruoxue almost laughed out loud, but for the sake of face, she could only cover her mouth with her hands and pretend to cough. The Taoist priest pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and he didn't know how to take it, and Jiang Wei showed anger in his expression, but he dared not speak.
"I just said it casually, don't worry too much about Lord Jiang, didn't everyone say it, you were born rich and rich, and you will definitely live for a long time." Lu Zhiyao saw that no one was talking, so he began to round the field by himself, "Xiaoxue, we should almost go back, otherwise your starling brother will find out that we are gone, and you should be in a hurry." ”
Lin Ruoxue held back a smile, said goodbye to Jiang Wei, and then followed Lu Zhiyao. After walking far away, she dared to laugh out loud, "Eighth sister-in-law really dares to say that she has changed someone else, but she doesn't have the courage to say this in front of Jiang Wei." ”
The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't say anything. There's a reason she's saying this today. angered Jiang Wei, so that Jiang Wei could come to his own trouble even harder. He now has Mu Wangye to "support", and he will try what he didn't dare to do before, but what she just said is also true. Thirty years later? How could he, Jiang Wei, have the life to live to that time.
Lin Yinan has been following these two people, so what Lu Zhiyao said just now, he naturally listened to it. was made laugh by Lu Zhiyao's occasional poisonous tongue, and just when Lin Yinan was about to come forward to meet them, his smiling eyes became gloomy.
Lin Yinan leaned against the wall, his eyes looked sharply in a certain direction behind Lu Zhiyao, looking at the man who should be in the palace at the moment. He walked over with a cold face, and when Lu Zhiyao and Lin Ruoxue walked through the intersection, the man continued to follow him, blocking his way.
Bai Lichen's appearance of Lin Yinan was both unexpected and expected.
"The Eighth Prince is really a real person and does not show his face." He smiled and praised Lin Yinan, but it was obvious that Lin Yinan was not in the mood to listen to him say this at this time.
"What are you targeting her, what is your purpose?"
Lin Yinan was very sure that the person Bai Lichen wanted to follow was Lu Zhiyao, from the day he came to Xia Lai Kingdom and entered the palace to see Lu Zhiyao, Lin Yinan knew that Lu Zhiyao was targeted by the people of the Qing Netherworld. But why? This Baili Chen's martial arts are not low, Lin Yinan didn't believe that Xuanyuan Haotian would send him, just to make peace with Xia Laiguo.
"I just want to investigate a few things, and the Eighth Prince doesn't have to be so nervous."
The murderous aura on Lin Yinan's body was obvious, and Bai Lichen had to restrain his vigilance.
"If you want to know what Lu Dao is asking me, it shouldn't be the style of the Qing Ming Kingdom to follow two weak women so hard."
"Weak woman?" Bai Lichen was a little surprised that Lin Yinan would use these three words on Lu Zhiyao's body, "As far as I know, these three words are not suitable for the Eighth Emperor Concubine at all." Many of the soldiers of my Qing Netherworld should have died at the hands of the Eighth Imperial Concubine. ”
Lin Yinan smiled coldly, his patience was running out. "That's what you're looking for her?"
Bai Lichen straightened up, looked around, and then looked at Lin Yinan, and asked in a low voice, "The Eighth Imperial Concubine has a dagger from my Qing Netherworld?" ”
When Lin Yinan heard this, he immediately remembered the one that Nangong Ling Feng had sent to the Eight Emperors' Mansion.
"So what?" Lin Yinan did not deny it, and silently made a note to the Nangong family in his heart.
"Can the Eighth Prince tell me where the dagger came from? To tell you the truth, my emperor lost a dagger that he liked very much before, which was very similar to the one of the Eighth Imperial Princess. ”
The information revealed in Bai Lichen's words made Lin Yinan's eyes a little deeper. Lu Zhiyao hasn't used that dagger these days, how did he know that she had it, and it was similar to Xuanyuan Haotian's? Many things in his mind were connected at once, and Lin Yinan suddenly remembered that time in the Qing Netherworld, he was followed.
"The gift from General Nangong, if you like it, I'll give it to you." Lin Yinan didn't ask much else, and after leaving a sentence, he turned around and walked towards the Eight Emperors' Mansion. "If you want, come to the Eight Emperors' Mansion to get it, I'll wait at any time."
Lin Yinan's calmness surprised Bai Lichen, looking at Lin Yinan's figure gradually moving away, Bai Lichen had no intention of staying outside anymore and returned to the palace.
As soon as Lin Yinan returned to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, he immediately asked Ling Yi to contact someone for him.
"I must see someone in three days, and I must bring him to me by any means."
Lin Yinan's order made Ling Yi stunned, the last time he saw that person was two years ago, the master suddenly looked for him in such a hurry, what was the important matter?
Not daring to delay, Ling Yi immediately went out to find someone. Lin Yinan took the dagger he found in the room and sat there pondering. When Lu Zhiyao pushed open the door, what she saw was Lin Yinan staring at the dagger with a cold light in her eyes, and she felt that something was wrong, she walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
