Chapter 13: Threats and Intimidation

"Angry?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked Lu Zhiyao, "Why should I be angry?" Is it just because of Nangong Nuo'er's words? ”

Lin Yinan looked open, and Lu Zhiyao had nothing to say. But she felt that if Lin Yinan had been like this in the future, not only the Nangong family, but even Lin Yixiang might ride on his head.

Lu Zhiyao didn't intend to hide what he was thinking, so he directly opened his mouth and told Lin Yinan what she was thinking at this time.

"Everyone knows that you and Lin Yixiang are brothers, and they all know that the two of you are not in the same boat. Nangong Nuo'er deliberately embarrassed me today, not because of who I am, but because I married you. She just gave the Nangong family a start, and when Nangong Lingfeng comes back, more things against you are still to come. They compare you to the crown prince, you don't care. Compare you with Lin Yixiang, you have nothing to say. People do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts. Aren't you afraid that one day, your Seven Emperor Brothers will face your sword and take the princess he married from the Nangong family, so that you can't even sit on the throne? ”

Lu Zhiyao has no good impression of the Nangong family, and even more so for Lin Yixiang. Although Lin Yinan had the strength to deal with them, she was even more afraid that Lin Yinan would delay the big event because of her brotherhood with Lin Yixiang.

"If there really is that day, then I can only choose to protect myself, and I can't care about anything else." Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's serious expression in his eyes, and knew that Lu Zhiyao was talking to him about this matter with a very serious attitude, so he also put away his attitude and gave her the answer she wanted. "He has his way to go, and I have my days to live. Besides, he stayed with the crown prince for his own reasons. ”

Lin Yinan's words made a light flash in Lu Zhiyao's mind, Lu Zhiyao also thought about this question, since Lin Yinan and Lin Yichen are both people with a very high call to inherit the throne, wouldn't it be better for Lin Yixiang to choose to stand on his brother's side? Going to the prince's side will arouse suspicion, and the queen may not really take him seriously. The people of the Nangong family are all snobs, can they ...... Are Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang colluding? What other plans do they have in secret?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao's gaze towards Lin Yinan couldn't help but change. Looking at Lin Yinan vigilantly, she slowly took a step back, widening some distance between her and Lin Yinan, which made Lin Yinan stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The chill and pain that slowly welled up in Lu Zhiyao's eyes could be seen clearly by Lin Yinan. wanted to raise his hand to touch her, but the result only made Lu Zhiyao escape further.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan, and many scenes suddenly appeared in his mind. recalled what Lin Yixiang said on the night she married Lin Yixiang when she was still Xia Yao.

He said that the Xia family owes him.

Lu Zhiyao always felt that his words were just casually said, and it was impossible for everyone in their Xia family to do anything that owed him. But now I'm thinking, the special identity of Lin Yixiang and Lin Yinan's mother, as well as her death, will it be related to the Xia family?

What kind of person is his father Lu Zhiyao knows very well, the Xia family has been a general in the court for several generations, Xia Zhenkun is dedicated to the country and the people, and has fought on the battlefield for so many years, how many times have he almost died to come back to see her and her mother. Xia Laiguo was able to overthrow the previous dynasty today, and the desperate efforts of these people in the Xia family are inseparable, and Lin Yinan's mother has something to do with the previous dynasty, why will she die? Does it have anything to do with the Xia family?

For a while, Lu Zhiyao didn't dare to think about it anymore. If this is the case, then the reason why Lin Yinan married himself......

"Far away?" Lin Yinan didn't want to look at Lu Zhiyao's eyes anymore, called her in a low voice, and slowly walked towards her, watching Lu Zhiyao retreat step by step, the fear and uneasiness in his eyes, Lin Yinan hurriedly grabbed her in front of her, no longer gave her a chance to escape, and asked, "What do you think of?" ”

"Let go of me." Lu Zhiyao pretended to be calm and looked at Lin Yinan to open his mouth, and was controlled by Lin Yinan with nowhere to escape, Lu Zhiyao could feel the anxiety in the depths of his heart.

Lu Zhiyao's sudden change made Lin Yinan have to figure out her thoughts. Surrounding Lu Zhiyao in front of him, he frowned slightly, and said softly: "How could I be willing to let you go so unexplained by you with such eyes?" ”

"Then let me ask you, you and Lin Yixiang are in the same group?!" Lu Zhiyao saw that he couldn't leave, so he didn't leave. She and Lin Yinan looked at each other, looking at Lin Yinan's slightly stunned expression, and her heart sank suddenly. "Does the Xia family's affairs have anything to do with you?"

"Nope." Lin Yinan did not hesitate, and directly answered the question of landing distance. "I did, however, know that they meant it before they even did it, and I didn't stop it."

Lin Yinan's confession made Lu Zhiyao's mood very complicated, not everyone can interfere in the affairs of the Xia family, and not everyone can stop that catastrophe. He didn't care, and she didn't blame him. Because he had nothing to do with the Xia family at that time, it was understandable that he didn't want to get involved. But......

"Then why did Lin Yixiang say that my Xia family owes him? Does your mother's death have anything to do with our family? Do you marry me for revenge or ......"

Before Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he was blocked by Lin Yinan, and there was only a whimper left.

His kiss was as light as a feather, but it made Lu Zhiyao unable to continue. Standing in front of Lin Yinan, listening to Lin Yinan's soft sigh after leaving her lips, when Lu Zhiyao looked at him again, Lin Yinan had already returned to his usual appearance, and there was even an uncommon strength on his body, as if the helpless sigh just now did not exist.

"You have so many questions, let me think about which one to answer first." Lin Yinan lowered his eyes and pondered, so that Lu Zhiyao could only look at him nervously, waiting to hear every word he said. "My mother's death has nothing to do with your family." Lin Yinan was silent for a long time, and said leisurely: "What Lin Yixiang did has nothing to do with us. He went to the prince because there was what he wanted, and I replied, are you satisfied? ”

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan in disbelief and asked, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"Nope." Lin Yinan smiled and shook his head, "If I want to deceive you, why bother to marry you back and deceive again." I want to kill you and kill the people of the Xia family, what are you going to do to save Bai Lixuan and the others? You girl, you're really getting more and more at beating up. ”

Lu Zhiyao also felt a little unreasonable under Lin Yinan's gaze, biting his lower lip and pushing Lin Yinan away, Lu Zhiyao turned around and walked in front alone. Lin Yinan followed behind her, and there was worry in her eyes that Lu Zhiyao had not noticed. There are some things that he still doesn't want her to know.

After returning to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lu Zhiyao honestly washed up and climbed into bed, facing the wall and listening to Lin Yinan's voice. After Lin Yinan turned off the lights and went to bed, and stretched out his long arms to hug her into his arms, Lu Zhiyao shouted dissatisfiedly: "You should go back to your room and sleep for two days!" ”

"Don't." Lin Yinan didn't want to refuse: "I'm physically and mentally healthy, how could I be so stupid as to abandon the beauty in my arms and sleep in the old room by myself." ”

Lin Yinan's words were reasonable, and Lu Zhiyao could only protest in his heart. Fortunately, Lin Yinan didn't do anything wrong to her today, just hugged her and fell asleep.

Lu Zhiyao got up early the next day, and after seeing Lin Yinan and Ling Yi go out, Lu Zhiyao and Wanyue also walked out of the gate of the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

"Madam, where are we going?" Xuan Yue asked curiously looking at Lu Zhiyao's side face. Since they arrived at the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lu Zhiyao took her to the streets for the first time.

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Wanyue and slowly said something that surprised Wanyue. "Go to Chu Mansion."

When he came to the gate of the Chu family, Lu Zhiyao looked at the family at the door, walked over and asked, "Is your young master at home?" ”

"You are?" The family looked Lu Zhiyao up and down, and saw that what she was wearing was also a good thing, so he relieved himself and said, "Our young master just arrived at the store, and he won't be back for a while." ”

When Lu Zhiyao heard this, he didn't stay long, and went directly to the place where the family Ding told her and went to find Chu Ziqian.

When Chu Ziqian saw Lu Zhiyao and heard her say that she was looking for something, his first reaction was that trouble was coming.

Since returning to the capital, Chu Ziqian's happy days are gone. Every day under the watchful eye of the old man, he had to patrol the store, fiddling with the account books, he had thought of running away more than once, but then he thought about his mother who cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and then thought about some other reasons, so he endured it.

"The Eighth Imperial Concubine is looking for me, what good can it be?" Chu Ziqian asked with a smile, "Let's talk about the benefits first, and then I'll consider whether to help you." ”

Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian sat in the teahouse, looking at Chu Ziqian's elegant gesture of drinking tea, Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, and said: "There is no benefit, but if you don't help me, I will go to Lan Ruoya, expose your identity, and by the way, tell your father and mother, what good things have you done in places where they don't know the way, so that your Chu family will be more famous, what do you think?" ”

"You are threatening and intimidating, be careful that I will report to the official to tell you to go." Chu Ziqian choked for a moment, wiped the tea on his mouth a little embarrassed, looked at Lu Zhiyao with a sad face, and asked, "What do you want me to do?" Could it be that the eighth prince of your family has taken a fancy to which girl, and you are afraid that your imperial concubine's position will not be guaranteed, so you want me to deal with that girl? If that's the case, then I can help you. ”

"Can't you think of anything other than a woman's head!?" Lu Zhiyao asked Chu Ziqian weakly, and then said, "Don't worry, what I asked you to find this time is not a woman, but a man." ”
