Chapter 68: Hurt Yourself
"Chu Ziqian?" The unfamiliar name came out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth, and Lin Mubai looked at her suspiciously after hearing it, trying to find a trace of lying from her face. And when Yin Jianli heard Chu Ziqian's name, his eyebrows twisted, and his expression when he looked at Lu Zhiyao also changed significantly.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Yin Jianli, lowered his eyes again, and didn't know how to continue.
"Who is Chu Ziqian? And why did he save you? Lin Mubai asked.
Lu Zhiyao was silent and didn't reply, she only heard Yin Jianli smile coldly, and then replied for her: "The prince may have forgotten, you have heard this name before." ”
"Oh?" Lin Mubai turned his head to look at Yin Jianli staring at Lu Zhiyao with disdain, and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"If the Chu Ziqian she said is the one I know the Dao, then he is the famous yin/worm in our Xia Lai country, and he is a famous flower thief in the rivers and lakes." Yin Jianli spoke word by word, and his eyes looked at Lu Zhiyao intently.
Lu Zhiyao bit his lower lip hard when Yin Jianli spoke, and when Yin Jianli asked her what she had to do with Chu Ziqian, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head a little more and spit out.
Lin Mubai and Yin Jian both looked at Lu Zhiyao and felt that something was wrong with this. Lu Zhiyao was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked at the two of them again, but when he spoke, his eyes were full of shame and indignation, and an abnormal flush slowly climbed up her face.
"As you know, he is indeed the flower thief. Because of his effort, the government has been helpless to take him all these years, and many people have been unable to catch him. Lu Zhiyao paused, his eyes wandered, then swallowed his saliva, as if he had made a great determination, and slowly continued: "I ...... with him. I met a few years ago, and he taught me this kung fu. The prince can go to the yamen to find Lan Ruoyan and ask her if Chu Ziqian had appeared in the capital a few days ago. Lan Ruoya is a subordinate of the Eighth Prince, and there were rumors of a happy event between me and the Eighth Prince in the palace before, so Lan Ruoyan was worried about my safety after Chu Ziqian appeared, so she disguised herself and blended into the Prime Minister's Mansion, pretending to be a maid next to me to protect my safety. But she didn't know what to do, in fact, Chu Ziqian was already in the Prime Minister's Mansion long before her, and Yi Rong became a family member in my mansion by my side......"
"You mean to say that you colluded with that Chu Ziqian and deceived Lan Ruoya, so Lan Ruoyan couldn't catch him?" The corners of Lin Mubai's mouth flashed with a hint of sneer, and Lu Zhiyao looked at it in his eyes, and his expression became even more ashamed.
Lu Zhiyao nodded reluctantly, slowly closed his eyes, and didn't dare to look at the sight of the two again. Although her words were not clear, anyone could hear them, what she meant was that she had an adulterous affair with Chu Ziqian, so Chu Ziqian would save her.
The red glow crawled all over Lu Zhiyao's face, and even the white neck turned red. Lin Mubai and Yin Jianli glanced at each other, and there was mockery in their eyes.
"Lu Zhiyao." Lin Mubai asked coldly, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you tell me about this?" ”
Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes suddenly, tears in his eyes, and he was shaking. Looking at Lin Mubai with a panicked expression, Lu Zhiyao begged repeatedly, begging him not to tell others about this matter, and not to let his family know about it. What can be obtained is just Lin Mubai's sneer.
Lin Mubai's sarcastic expression made Lu Zhiyao feel dazzling. She forced herself to endure, it was her own choice, and she had to persevere.
"Where is Chu Ziqian now?" Yin Jianli interjected and asked.
"I don't know what to do, he came to the capital a few days ago, and he told me in advance, but when he left, he didn't say where he was going, only that he would notify me when he came to me again."
"What a couple of lovers." Yin Jian was a little cold in his eyes, and he looked down on Lu Zhiyuan in front of him more and more. "Did he tell you when he would marry you?"
Yin Jianli's words made the tears in Lu Zhiyao's eyes slide down instantly, and after a while, she burst into tears.
"There is no wind and Lang, it seems that the rumors outside are not all groundless, the prime minister's daughter, compared with the woman in the Golden Phoenix Tower, is no different, and even a little more despicable." Lin Mubai got up, glanced at Lu Zhiyao with disgust, and said, "Get out of the house, don't let this king see you again!" Then he waved his sleeves and walked away.
Yin Jianli followed behind Lin Mubai, also glared at Lu Zhiyao with disgust, and then left. Lu Zhiyao looked at the backs of the two of them who were drifting apart, and when they walked away, they sat down on the ground as if they had taken out all their strength.
Jinfenglou is a famous brothel in Beijing, even Lu Zhiyao has heard of this name. The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth were bitterly hooked, and he personally ruined his reputation and innocence, which is honest, and it is really uncomfortable. She originally thought that she could already look down on everything, but it turned out that she still lacked the heat and couldn't completely ignore the eyes of others.
After Lu Zhiyao sat on the ground for a while, he wiped the tears on his face, stood up and walked out slowly. With a solemn and firm expression, she walked out of King Mu's mansion step by step, and did not regret her decision today.
If you can't afford to mess with anyone, then you can go under your own knife. As long as she can keep this life alive, she can give up anything.
Lu Zhiyao's back as he walked away made Lin Yinan, who was sitting on the roof, look deep. His eyes were tightly locked on Lu Zhiyao, and when he couldn't see her figure at all, Lin Yinan left thoughtfully. Until he returned to his house, his mood was still not relaxed.
"Master, you're back!" Ling Yi was guarding the door of the mansion, and when he saw Lin Yinan's figure, he immediately greeted him.
"Hmm." Lin Yinan replied in a low voice, and his reaction was neither salty nor light, which made Ling Yi frown.
Lin Yinan went directly into the room and locked Ling Yi out of the door. Ling Yi stood at the door worriedly, not knowing what was going on.
Lin Mubai strode to the garden, thinking about what Lu Zhiyao said just now, he was still a little indifferent. Yin Jianli saw Lin Mubai's displeasure, and took the initiative to speak: "Master, if I don't kill her directly, it's useless to keep such a shameless woman." The princess of the province is worried, if she is really asked to go into the palace to accompany her in the future, wouldn't it be bad for the princess? ”
Lin Mubai glanced at Yin Jianli and sighed lightly. The gentle breeze blew his mood calmed down a bit, "Do you think what Lu Zhiyao said is false?" ”
Yin Jianli snorted coldly and said, "Lord Wang, if this thing is not true, who dares to say that he is so low?" Lu Zhiyao is just a woman, as far as I can see, she is afraid that Xiangye's status will not be able to be maintained, and she will no longer be the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she has no choice but to tell the truth. It's better than doing nothing. I have also heard about Chu Ziqian, and it is indeed a light achievement, and it is very similar to the person described by the master. ”
"Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng has always been cautious in dealing with people, but he gave birth to such a daughter." Lin Mubai shook his head with emotion, and then said to Yin Jianli: "Don't do anything to this woman first, secretly monitor her to see if she has any small movements." In addition, you will go into the palace in a moment to help me deliver a letter to the emperor. ”
Yin Jianli's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Mubai puzzled. The prince has not been in contact with the emperor for a long time, and now for what?
Lin Mubai noticed Yin Jianli's gaze, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice: "This woman can't really be allowed to the eighth child. The emperor has always looked at people, but he didn't expect it to be the same this time. ”
Lu Zhiyao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with empty eyes, looked up at the plaque on his head, Lu Zhiyao reached out and patted his somewhat stiff cheeks, and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with a smile.
"Miss, you're back!" Wanyue and Yudie quickly ushered in, one left and one right by Lu Zhiyao's side, and asked anxiously, "What is the prince looking for you to do?" Didn't embarrass you, did you? ”
"It's all right." Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly: "There will be nothing to do in the future, don't worry." ”
Wanyue Yudie looked at each other, accompanied Lu Zhiyao back to the room, and asked some questions before finally reassuring.
Lu Zhiyao sat at the table, silently watching the picture of the two maids busy around him. There are also people who care about themselves, and they are always good. A warmth, a long-lost well-up in Lu Zhiyao's heart, Lu Zhiyao thought about it, opened his mouth and called the names of the two, and when they both turned their heads to look at her, Lu Zhiyao whispered: "Find time, I'll teach you some kung fu." If I'm not around in the future, you can protect yourselves. ”
"Kung Fu? All right! As soon as Wanyue heard this, her eyes immediately flashed brightly, and she strode in front of Lu Zhiyao, and she asked expectantly, "When?" How are you doing tonight? ”
The scene when Lu Zhiyao rescued her from the Beauty Pavilion that night, Wanyue has to recall it every day. Although she was a little embarrassed to be stunned after the last moment, Lu Zhiyao's chic action of killing the wicked in order to protect herself existed in her mind without delay, and it was never forgotten.
Unlike Xuanyue, after listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, Yudie felt that something was wrong and uncomfortable.
"Good manner, why does Miss say that she is not by our side? We are Miss's maids, and we don't plan to go to others in the future, so Miss has always protected us. ”
"You stupid girl." Lu Zhiyao looked at Yudie with a light smile and said teasingly: "How long can I protect you?" When the time comes, don't you have to find a good family for the two of you and marry you out? Listen to me, learn some moves to protect yourself, and it will be useful at any time. ”
Lu Zhiyao's words made Xuanyue and Yudie's faces red, and then the two of them jointly counterattacked, and said with a smile: "Miss is in a hurry to marry the Eighth Prince, so she said this, right?" ”
