Chapter 36: Ask the little princess for help
Lu Zhiyao locked himself in the house for a whole day, without eating or seeing anyone. Bai Lixuan, Xia Han and the others were all frightened by her, and when they wanted to break in, Lu Zhiyao walked out by himself, and then said, "I'm hungry and want to eat." β
Xia Han hurriedly went to bring the things that had been prepared to Lu Zhiyao, watching Lu Zhiyao eating regardless of his image, without a dignified and steady posture that the Eighth Emperor Concubine should have, she couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and asked, "My sister has been in the house all day, what are you doing?" β
"I'm thinking about how to pull a tooth out of a tiger's mouth." Lu Zhiyao was full of food and drink, and replied to Xia Han with a smile. Xia Han obviously didn't understand what she meant, and Lu Zhiyao didn't plan to explain anything at this time.
The poisoning of many people in the city, Lu Zhiyao was suspicious of the Nangong family from the beginning. Even if it wasn't the Nangong family's doing, Lu Zhiyao was afraid that they would take advantage of this matter and put the abacus on the emperor, taking the opportunity to let the emperor abdicate and help Lin Yichen ascend the throne.
So whether it was for Lin Yinan or for himself, Lu Zhiyao didn't plan to wait in this house any longer. She wants to take matters into her own hands and solve this problem.
"I don't know when I'll be back during this time, but don't worry, I'll take the Jade Dragon with me. Ling Yi, you stay and protect them, waiting for my news. β
The reason why Lu Zhiyao chose Zhan Yulong was very simple, it was the same as the reason why Lin Yinan had sent him out of Lu before, he was not like Ling Yi who had been in the capital for so long, and many people were not familiar with him. This time, Lu Zhiyao was planning to enter the palace, and it was naturally inconvenient to take Ling Yi with him.
Zhan Yulong followed Lu Zhiyao away, leaving Bai Lixuan and the others to look at each other, feeling more and more that Lu Zhiyao's mind was elusive.
Zhan Yulong was also startled after learning about Lu Zhiyao's plan, seeing that Lu Zhiyao didn't speak for a long time, he opened his mouth embarrassedly and said with a smile: "The master's courage is big enough." β
"Otherwise, how dare you marry Lin Yinan." Lu Zhiyao said teasingly, "I still want to solve this matter as soon as possible and leave the capital to have a happy life." Otherwise, I want to go again, but I will have to wait until next summer. β
Lin Yinan can leave the capital openly every year only in the summer, Lu Zhiyao finally encountered such a good thing, but was ruined by these people, how could she feel comfortable.
He and Zhan Yulong dangled outside for a day, and after dark, the two sneaked into the palace.
There are not many people Lu Zhiyao knows in the palace, and there is only one person who might help her, and that is Lin Ruoxue. Although it was very dangerous for her to hit Lin Ruoxue with her idea. Because behind Lin Ruoxue, not only does he have the support of the emperor, but also the prince Mu who can make Lu Zhiyao feel extremely dangerous every time they meet, Lin Mubai is here.
Lu Zhiyao originally thought that it would be very difficult to find out where Lin Ruoxue was. didn't want to, but Zhan Yulong helped her a lot.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Zhan Yulong suspiciously, and asked him with a smile: "Does your master always let you sneak into the palace?" β
"The Eighth Prince used to live in the palace, so I know some things in the palace."
Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and followed Zhan Yulong to Lin Ruoxue's bedroom. tiptoed into Lin Ruoxue's room, it was already late, and the little princess naturally fell asleep. After being woken up by Lu Zhiyao, Lin Ruoxue unsurprisingly opened her mouth to shout for help. Lu Zhiyao quickly blocked her mouth with his hand, put it in her ear and said, "Don't be afraid, it's me, Lu Zhiyao." β
Lin Ruoxue just took a bite of Lu Zhiyao's hand, and heard Lu Zhiyao's words. The stiff movement looked at Lu Zhiyao's face, it was an unfamiliar face. Lin Ruoxue gritted her teeth and said, "You lied to me!" Then, he was going to bite her again.
"You girl, I don't know if the Daoist can be disguised!" Lu Zhiyao was bitten anxiously and pushed Lin Ruoxue's head hard. "It's a good thing to look for you, if you bite me again, I'll leave."
Lin Ruoxue looked at Lu Zhiyao defensively, although she didn't believe her words, she didn't shout again immediately. Listening to Lu Zhiyao's familiar voice, and watching Lu Zhiyao raise his hand and tear off the mask on his face, Lin Ruoxue relaxed her vigilance and pounced.
"Eighth sister-in-law, why are you here?!"
"Now Zhilu Dao, I'm your eighth sister-in-law?" Lu Zhiyao shook off the hand that was bitten by Lin Ruoxue, and glanced back at Zhan Yulong, "Go and wait for me at the door." β
Zhan Yulong walked away, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Ruoxue with a serious expression, and said, "I came to you today because I have something to ask you to help with." Now no one but you knows that I'm coming back, so you can't tell anyone about it, no one, understand? β
"I understand!" Lin Ruoxue nodded nervously and gave Lu Zhiyao an answer with great certainty. "What did the eighth sister-in-law ask me to do? I'll help you! β
The reason why Lu Zhiyao chose Lin Ruoxue in the first place was because of her simplicity. It may be that she is too well protected, so she doesn't have the scheming of other people in the palace, and it is easier to be used. Like, now being used by yourself.
If it wasn't a last resort, Lu Zhiyao didn't want to involve the simple little princess. But when it comes to the emperor's safety and the affairs of herself and Lin Yinan, she has no choice.
"I may have to do some business in the palace these days, and I have nowhere else to go, so I have to hide in you."
"Okay, yes, but my mother's ......" Lin Ruoxue looked at Lu Zhiyao with some embarrassment and said: "She's smart, if you pretend to be a slave next to me, she will definitely find out, what should I do then?" β
"Are you so sure she'll find out?" Lu Zhiyao asked a little disbelievingly.
"Definitely." Lin Ruoxue didn't think about it, so she replied: "When the time comes, you will know the way, she is very powerful." But eighth sister-in-law, what do you want to do in the palace? β
"Save the emperor's life." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Ruoxue, "You have been staying in the palace, so you must not know what is happening outside in Lu Dao now." A lot of people have died in the capital recently, and they were all poisoned. Imperial Doctor Ruan said that the poison was very powerful, and he couldn't find a solution for a while. I was afraid that someone would take advantage of this matter to be unfavorable to the emperor, so I wanted to enter the palace to see if this matter had anything to do with the people in the palace. β
"Imperial Doctor Ruan? That Ruan Chen? Lin Ruoxue looked at Lu Zhiyao and nodded, and quickly wanted to get out of bed, "This kind of thing has to be known to my father!" β
Lu Zhiyao helplessly pulled her by the collar and dragged her back, "You are startling the snake, it may not be a good thing for the emperor to know what is happening in the capital, and he now knows what happened in the capital, I think the emperor will definitely realize his danger soon, so you don't need to say it, there is nothing wrong." β
Lin Ruoxue listened to Lu Zhiyao nervously and said, "Eighth sister-in-law, how do you want to check?" Do you have anyone who doubts? β
"Not yet, so I'll have to ask you to help me." Lu Zhiyao would not say that she suspected the Nangong family, she was sure that Lin Ruoxue would be moved by this thrilling thing that had never happened, and then help her, Lu Zhiyao said softly to Lin Ruoxue: "I won't stay in the palace forever, you just need to open your door for me when I need it." β
"I'll help you!" Lin Ruoxue clenched her fists and responded: "Anyway, it's to save my father, even if Eniang knows the way, she won't blame us!" β
"Okay." Lu Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction, "Let's sleep first, I'll come back to you during the day." β
Lu Zhiyao greeted Lin Ruoxue, and then left with Zhan Yulong again. As everyone knows, Lin Ruoxue didn't close her eyes this night, completely immersed in the tense atmosphere and couldn't extricate herself, looking forward to the landing distance appearing again.
When Zi Ningshuang saw Lin Ruoxue in the morning, she saw that she obviously didn't sleep well at night, and asked, "Not feeling well?" β
"No, I'm fine." Lin Ruoxue hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food and replied inarticulately.
"It's a strange thing that you can't sleep." Zi Ningshuang knows her daughter very well, and being able to eat, drink and sleep is her daughter's biggest feature. Zi Ningshuang looked at Lin Ruoxue with sharp eyes, and asked again, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" β
"I said no, mother, you think too much." Lin Ruoxue swallowed the food in her mouth, patted the case, and said, "I'm out to play." β
Zi Ningshuang watched Lin Ruoxue leave, slowly retracted her gaze, raised her eyebrows, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
Lin Ruoxue ran out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief. patted her chest and stood in the yard, Lin Ruoxue was a little confused. Lu Zhiyao only said that she would come to find herself today, but the palace is so big, how can she find herself? I can't stay here forever, otherwise Zi Ning Frost will definitely suspect it.
Lin Ruoxue thought about it sadly, and walked forward alone, not even bringing her favorite maid on weekdays, looking left and right, waiting for the landing distance to appear. In her moment, it was just a few hours, Lin Ruoxue's legs were weak, her stomach was hungry, and she began to think about going back.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxue was about to walk to the door of the dormitory, Yin Jianli's unexpected appearance startled Lin Ruoxue. Staggered back two steps, Lin Ruoxue knew that seeing Yin Jianli meant that she was about to see Uncle Huang, after she came to her senses, she walked up to Yin Jianli and looked up at him, and whispered: "Brother Yin, why are you here?" Did Uncle Huang ask you to pick me up? β
Yin Jianli smiled slightly and denied: "I brought a message to Niangniang." β
"Looking for my mother?" Lin Ruoxue felt that this was a bit incredible, at least in her impression, this was the first time Yin Jianli had come to Zi Ning Shuang.
Lin Ruoxue turned around to see Yin Jianli step by step, and took him to Zi Ning Shuang's face, Lin Ruoxue originally wanted to hear what they had to say, but unfortunately these two didn't seem to want her to know the Tao very much, so Lin Ruoxue could only walk out of the room under Zi Ning Shuang's gaze.
After making sure that Lin Ruoxue was far away, Zi Ningshuang looked at Yin Jianli with cold eyes, frowned, and asked, "You say, did Lord Mu ask you to come to me?" β
