Chapter 21: The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Ye Lianrong was so shocked by Lu Zhiqing's words that her body trembled violently, and she almost didn't fall off while sitting on the stool. After stabilizing her body, Ye Lianrong's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Zhiqing with an incredulous expression.

"It's a real mother, she said it herself." Lu Zhiqing nodded vigorously, forgetting the pain on her body and forgetting to cry, Lu Zhiqing came to Ye Lianrong's side and whispered: "The person who was in the yard that night was her, yes, she threatened me today that she would avenge her mother and her brother." ”

Ye Lianrong listened to Lu Zhiqing's words and didn't make a sound for a long time. In this way, it is very likely that today's events were planned by Lu Zhiyao...... But what is the relationship between the Eighth Prince and her?

"Are you sure you heard me right?" Ye Lianrong asked uneasily.

"There's no way I'm mistaken!" Lu Zhiqing saw that Ye Lianrong didn't believe in herself, and she was anxious. "Mother, why don't you believe me?!"

"That Eighth Prince, did he really say that Lu Zhiyao was healed from his injuries and went to his mansion to find him?"

"That's right! Mother, what did you say was the matter with the Eighth Prince and her? Didn't I hear you say before that this Eighth Prince has never shown up easily? But he actually came to us today, and specially called Lu Zhiyao the imperial doctor, I was really angry! ”

Ye Lianrong ignored Lu Zhiqing's complaints, but just thought about Lu Zhiyao's affairs in fear. If Lu Zhiyao involved the Eighth Prince, it would be difficult to handle the matter. Lu Zhiyao's actions today, if she was just the first step to avenge her mother, then she would definitely not let go of herself in the future. In other words, there are two of them, and only one can be left in this prime minister's mansion......

Ye Lianrong knew very well what the consequences would be if what she did back then was shaken off by Lu Zhiyao. He is still a little taboo about the people on his mother's side, and he doesn't dare to beat himself easily. But when the time comes, Lu Yuanzheng will not just scold her like today, and let her skip meals and think about it behind closed doors.

Ye Lianrong was silent, which made Lu Zhiqing anxious. Gently shaking Ye Lianrong's arm, Lu Zhiqing asked cautiously, "Mother, what do you want?" ”

Ye Lianrong slowly raised her eyes, facing Lu Zhiqing's eyes. Moving uncomfortably, Ye Lianrong lowered her voice and said, "If what you said is true, Lu Zhiyao really wants to take revenge on our mother and daughter, then she can't stay." ”

"What do you mean...... Kill her? Lu Zhiqing blinked, and after seeing Ye Lianrong nodding, Lu Zhiqing continued: "It's good, but she's not as easy to deal with as before now, how do we start?" Didn't Dad still say that he would send her to the palace to choose the crown princess? ”

"Your father sent her into the palace, that's because you can't go, otherwise how could you get her turn?" Ye Lianrong said about this with a little dissatisfaction and a little arrogance: "Even if she really enters the palace, it won't be good." I don't believe she can be defenseless all the time. If anyone dares to spoil my good deeds, I will definitely not let her have a good time! ”

Ye Lianrong gritted her teeth and said with an oath. How could she possibly let Lu Zhiyao ruin her efforts for so many years? How much effort did she spend to grab the position of the prime minister's wife?

"You fight for me in the future, don't let her take advantage of it anymore, do you know Lu Dao!" Ye Lianrong suddenly reached out and slapped Lu Zhiqing's arm, making Lu Zhiqing scream defenselessly. "Scream, scream, you know how to scream! Just know how to cry! If you grow your brain in the future and let her calculate, I won't spare you! ”

Lu Zhiqing listened to Ye Lianrong's reprimand, and knew that she had made a mistake and suffered a loss today, so she had to nod her head again and again, and promised that she would never let Lu Zhiyao be so proud in the future.

Wanyue returned to the other courtyard, and happily talked to Yudie and Lu Zhiyao about what she heard, and the bright smile on her face made Lu Zhiyao, who was lying on the bed, involuntarily feel better.

When Wan Yue was talking energetically, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. She closed her mouth and looked back cautiously, only to see a few strange maids entering the house.

"Who are you?" Wanyue asked, tilting her head.

"It was the master who asked us to come and serve the young lady." The maid who took the lead bowed her head and said.

Lu Zhiyao's gaze swept over the faces of those people one by one, then looked at Yu Die, and said softly: "You go and arrange for them to do things, and let Wanyue stay with me." ”

Although Lu Yuanzheng sent these people, Lu Zhiyao couldn't trust them. In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, how many people have not taken Ye Lianrong's money? Among these people today, maybe one of them is Ye Lianrong's eyeliner, and she has to guard against it.

"Moon." Lu Zhiyao whispered to Wanyue, motioning for her to bend down and listen to herself. After Wanyue came over, Lu Zhiyao instructed: "Give me a good look at these people, and tell me if you find anything wrong, they may be the second lady's people, understand?" ”

"Understood, wrapped up in me!" Wanyue's eyes rolled, and she said to Lu Zhiyao with confidence, and then pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to accompany Lu Zhiyao.

Although the moon is not as calm as the rain butterfly, it is still very clever. She was much more dissatisfied with Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing than Yu Die, and because of what Lu Zhiyao said to her before, coupled with today's events, Xuan Yue became more and more convinced that Lu Zhiyao would definitely bring down those two, so her mood by Lu Zhiyao's side was naturally different.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Wanyue's smiling side face and slowly closed his eyes relaxed. This time, Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing definitely didn't dare to do it to themselves easily, and what she should do now is how to save Xiaohan back. But that Eighth Prince, it shouldn't be so easy to let go, right......?

Lu Zhiyao rested for two days, and when the people in the mansion no longer paid as much attention to her as they did in the first two days, Lu Zhiyao began to plan for Lin Yinan. After thinking about all the questions that Lin Yinan might ask, Lu Zhiyao thought of many answers, but when he saw Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao found that his preparations in advance were all in vain.

As soon as she entered the room, Lu Zhiyao felt that cold as a knife gaze was watching her. The door behind him was slammed shut, which made Lu Zhiyao's nerves tense immediately. Looking around, she soon saw Lin Yinan.

Under the light yellow candle flame, Lin Yinan was lying on the soft collapse on his side. Seeing Lu Zhiyao come in, he didn't move, just raised his head slightly and looked at her intently.

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan a few times, and then turned his head uncomfortably. For some reason, every time she looked at this man, she would always be defeated.

Lin Yinan looked at the woman who came late at night, and after a cold light flashed from the bottom of her eyes, she returned to her previous appearance in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhiyao stepped forward. Approaching Lin Yinan, he spoke in a low voice and said, "Lu Zhiyao has seen the Eighth Prince, and he came to disturb the Eighth Prince's rest so late, and asked the Eighth Prince not to ......."

"How did you get here?" Lin Yinan interrupted Lu Zhiyao's words, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he asked, "It's so late, it won't be sent by the Prime Minister to send you here, right?" ”

Lu Zhiyao gritted her teeth when Lin Yinan asked, she also knew that coming over at this time would arouse his suspicions, and she also knew that it was not a good time. But except for today, she didn't know when she would have to wait. Tomorrow will be sent to the palace by Lu Yuanzheng, and after a series of things, Lu Zhiyao is even more lazy to think about it. Come late at night, at least so that no one else will find out and suspect it. As for this Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao can't take care of that much. He's got the handle on his own anyway, doesn't he?

"My dad didn't know why I'd come over."

"Climbed the wall?" Lin Yinan carefully found that Lu Zhiyao's body was a little dusty, and slowly sat up straight, Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao with a smile, which made Lu Zhiyao purse his lips in embarrassment and did not answer.

The third watch climbed the wall in the middle of the night to find himself, sure enough, it was still for that Xia Han, right? Lin Yinan gathered the thin silk clothes on his body, looking like he was waiting for Lu Yuan to confess. Lu Zhiyao waited for a long time and couldn't wait for him to say anything, so he had to start by himself.

"I've already brought the money you wanted, when will I be able to take people away?"

"Anytime, but there are some things I have to figure out." Lin Yinan saw the silver ticket, and his attitude was quite happy. "As long as you answer me, I will hand you over the man."

Lu Zhiyao had long known that Lin Yinan would not let go so easily, so he nodded helplessly, and Lu Zhiyao secretly thought of a perfunctory answer to Lin Yinan in his heart.

"As far as I know, the two daughters of the Xia family have nothing to do with you, why are you so obsessed with this Xia Han?" This is something that Lin Yinan has never figured out.

"The news of the Eighth Prince is wrong, and my relationship with Xia Yao, the eldest lady of the Xia family, has always been very good. I know a lot about her. ”

"Oh? Is it? "Lin Yinan didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to turn the topic to Xia Yao so directly, but that Xia Yao is dead, that is, there is no proof of death, no matter what Lu Zhiyao says, it's okay." Well, I'll ask you one more question. ”

Lin Yinan glanced at Lu Zhiyao's hand, which had not yet recovered, "What is the reason for the design to frame Lu Zhiqing?" ”

He really saw his little movements that day?!

Although Lu Zhiyao had already considered this question before, when Lin Yinan really asked, Lu Zhiyao's head was still a little swollen. Her head was down, her mind in disarray. She didn't know much about this Lin Yinan before, and the few times she met were with Lin Yixiang. She only knew that his health was not good, and it was worse than Lin Yixiang's. It seems that he is not a member of the prince's faction either. But after so many things happened, Lu Zhiyao didn't dare to easily believe what Lin Yixiang had told him. This Lin Yinan, who is sure that he is not the other dog of the crown prince Lin Yichen? Otherwise, why has he been held high by the ministers, but he has always said that he has no interest in the throne? Lu Zhiyao didn't believe that those princes who grew up in the palace would dislike the low-hanging throne. The one in front of him is just a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is no different from Lin Yixiang.
