Lin Yixiang was discovered by Liu Yiyu as soon as he approached the vicinity of the palace, and quickly ran in front of him, Liu Yiyu's actions made Lin Yixiang stunned for a moment, looked around, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I have something important to say to the prince." Liu Yiyu lowered her voice and pulled the corner of Lin Yixiang's clothes to the corner. "Is Xia Yao really dead or faked?"

Liu Yiyu suddenly ran over and suddenly asked such a sentence, which made Lin Yixiang confused. told her very clearly that Xia Yao was really dead, but Liu Yiyu didn't believe it and said: "I don't know why the prince is so sure that woman is dead, but I suspect now that what happened recently is related to her." ”

After Liu Yiyu finished speaking, she took out the ring pendant in her arms and put it on Lin Yixiang's hand. "This is what I found in my room today, it's Xia Yao's thing."

Lin Yixiang frowned and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, listening to Liu Yiyu talk about the strange things that happened to her these days, as well as her guesses, Lin Yixiang opened his mouth quite impatiently.

"I told you, Xia Yao, I watched her die with my own eyes." Lin Yixiang's cold voice made Liu Yiyu dare not continue, "This jade pendant is placed here with me, you can go back first." ”

After Lin Yixiang finished speaking, he turned around and strode into the palace, Liu Yiyu watched his back disappear uneasily, and sat back in the sedan chair weakly and returned to his home.

Lin Yixiang was a little surprised when he saw Lu Zhiyao, he didn't hear that Lu Zhiyao would come over when he just went to see Lin Yinan.

"The prince is back, then I won't delay the princess's time." Lu Zhiyao looked sideways at Lin Yixiang, smiled, stood up and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, she turned back to meet his gaze and said, "By the way, the young lady of the Liu family just came to the mansion to find the prince, and it seems that there is something important." ”

When Nangong Nuo'er heard Lu Zhiyao's words, her teeth itched with hatred. slapped the case and asked sharply, "Are you going or not?!" ”

Lu Zhiyao clearly didn't want to go with himself, Nangong Nuo'er looked at her with a cold face, and there was a big meaning that she would personally send her out if she didn't leave.

Lu Zhiyao smiled softly and walked away slowly. Lin Yixiang asked after she left, "What is she doing here?" ”

"Lin Yinan asked her to come, he didn't tell you?" Nangong Nuo'er sat down with her clothes brushed, she didn't forget about Liu Yiyu. stared at Lin Yixiang intently, not giving him time to hesitate and lie, "What is the matter with that Liu Yiyu looking for you?" ”

Nangong Nuo'er was angry, but she also knew in her heart that Liu Yiyu should not have the courage to come here to meet Lin Yixiang so openly and angrily, and she was alone, unless she didn't want to live anymore and wanted to die.

Lin Yixiang glanced at Nangong Nuo'er's expression, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what to do, I haven't seen her again." ”

"The prince's answer is really light." Nangong Nuo'er smiled playfully, "Then why don't I accompany you to Liufu to meet her?" ”

Lin Yixiang was irritated by the word "Xia Yao" in his heart, and naturally he was not in the mood to deal with Nangong Nuo'er. Without saying a word, he lowered his head, thinking about what Liu Yiyu had just said. Nangong Nuo'er saw that he had been ignoring him, and strode away in anger.

After Nangong Nuo'er left, Lin Yixiang took out the jade pendant that Liu Yiyu gave him. He also had an impression of this ring, and he specially showed it to him after Xia Yao bought it, but he didn't expect that when he saw it again, it would be from Liu Yiyu's hands.

Thinking along Liu Yiyu's guess, if this matter was not done by Xia Yao, then it should also be someone who has something to do with Xia Yao. Liu Yiyu is right, the only person who can hate the Jiang family to that extent is the Xia family. And it also involves himself and the Liu family, so thinking about it, it seems to make more and more sense. But the people of the Xia family were almost dead, who would do such a thing? Could it be Xia Han, who has been circulating recently, who is still alive? But Lin Yixiang clearly remembered that Xia Han was a master who didn't know martial arts at all.

The dark and deep eyes always stared at the two words on the jade, Lin Yixiang looked at it for a long time before he sighed, put it away again, and walked out of the room.

Lin Yixiang didn't say anything to Liu Yiyu, but Nangong Nuo'er went to Liufu in person. Liu Yiyu had just arrived home for a short time when she heard the servant report that Prince Luo had come to the house. When Liu Yiyu heard this, her body trembled, the teacup in her hand shook, and she got up in a panic to greet her, and she didn't know what to say when she saw Nangong Nuo'er.

Nangong Nuo'er glanced at Liu Yiyu and directly took Liu Shengyuan and his wife Pan Wenhua away.

"I'm here to find Miss Liu for something, just say a few words and leave, you don't have to be nervous."

Who was beaten like that by Liu Yiyu last time, Liu Shengyuan and Pan Wenhua both heard the truth from Liu Yiyu's mouth. Right now, they are all worried that their daughter will be in danger again, but Nangong Nuo'er has said so, and they don't dare not leave.

There were only two people left in the room, Nangong Nuo'er and Liu Yiyu, Nangong Nuo'er sat on the stool, looked at Liu Yiyu for a few moments, and asked directly: "Tell me, what is the matter with you going to find the prince today?" ”

Liu Yiyu squeaked for a long time, which upset Nangong Nuo'er.

"Looks like you didn't hurt last time, right?" Nangong Nuo'er opened her mouth quietly, slowly stood up and took a step towards Liu Yiyu.

When Liu Yiyu saw that Nangong Nuo'er was deliberately trying to do something to herself, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "I went to find the prince just for the affairs of the Jiang family and the Xia family, please don't misunderstand, princess!" ”

"The Xia family?" Nangong Nuo'er really stopped, stood there and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything in the Xia family that can let you come forward?" ”

The Liu family and the Xia family used to have a good relationship, and Nangong Nuo'er knew this. She remembered that when she saw Xia Yao a few times, she was followed by this Liu Yiyu.

Liu Yiyu was really afraid that Nangong Nuo'er would poison herself again, so she told the matter. Nangong Nuo'er's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and after warning Liu Yiyu a few words, she hurriedly returned to the palace.

Lin Yixiang listened to the door being kicked open with a bang, and turned his head to see that Nangong Nuo'er was coming in a hurry.

"Where is the piece of jade that Liu Yiyu gave you? Show me. Nangong Nuo'er said straight to the point.

Lin Yixiang frowned and asked, "Have you been looking for her?" ”

Nangong Nuo'er smiled coldly, not wanting to talk too much nonsense with him. "Back then, everyone said that the Seventh Prince and the eldest lady of the Xia family were talented men and women, and talented and beautiful women were born a natural pair. It seems that the Seventh Prince was really fascinated by that beauty, so he would let her live? ”

Liu Yiyu and Nangong Nuo'er repeatedly doubted Xia Yao's life and death, which made Lin Yixiang really annoyed. "What do you want me to do to believe that Xia Yao is really dead?"

"I can't see people alive or dead, how can you make me believe it?"

Lu Zhiyao never knew that he was in such a mood when he saw his bones with his own eyes. She followed Nangong Nuoer and Lin Yixiang all the way to the wilderness, she had no intention of seeing what they had done, and waited for them to leave with her eyes closed before she walked out slowly.

Ling Yi was ordered by Lu Zhiyao to stay where she was, and she walked alone to the grave that had been dug up and buried, with a bitterness in her eyes that no one could understand and experience.

Sitting on the ground, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and looked at the dirt on the ground. Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, and then stayed on the night she died.

I don't know how long I sat there, but when I stood up, Lu Zhiyao found that his legs and feet were numb. Walking back in front of Ling Yi with an expressionless face, Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice, "It's time to go back." ”

Ling Yi looked at Xia Yao's tomb for some reason, nodded and followed behind Lu Zhiyao. Back at the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Ling Yi told Lin Yinan what he had seen with his own eyes. And Lin Yinan was the same as Lu Zhiyao at that time, his silent expression made Ling Yi feel depressed.

Lin Yinan didn't take the initiative to mention this matter to Lu Zhiyao, and Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything to him. Everything went according to plan, as if nothing had happened.

The emperor's announcement of the appointment of the four princes as the prince shocked everyone in the government and the opposition. Think about it, the crown prince and the eighth prince have been fighting for so many years, but in the end, they were profited by a fourth prince who suddenly came out.

Lin Yichen was stunned when he heard the news, and it took a long time for him to be able to reluctantly accept this fact. Coming directly to the study where Lin Yunlong was, Lin Yichen clearly remembered in his mind what Lin Yunlong said to him that day.

Lin Yunlong guessed the reason why he came to him when he saw Lin Yichen for the first time. My son is good at everything, but sometimes he still can't hold his breath, just like now.

"Father, my son doesn't understand, didn't you clearly tell me before that you would make me the prince?"

"It's just a name, is it that important?" Lin Yunlong was quite calm, put down the fold in his hand and looked directly into Lin Yichen's eyes, and said: "A lot of things have happened recently that are not very favorable to you, if I make you the prince at this time, how many ministers will protest What you might think?" You haven't found out about Jiang Han yet, have you? ”

"Nope." Lin Yichen secretly clenched his fists and replied: "But even so, the fourth brother will definitely have someone to oppose it, whether it is me, the eighth brother, or the fourth brother, it should not be the best candidate in the eyes of all ministers." ”

"You just need to know that." Lin Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, the prince does not necessarily mean that he will inherit the throne. ”

Lin Yunlong's words are very clear, and it is what the ministers have always meant to announce this matter at this time. The reason for choosing Lin Yinuo is because Lin Yichen's recent performance is too unsatisfactory.

Lin Yichen listened to Lin Yunlong's words quietly, and nodded with a heavy heart. After leaving the study, he stopped and stood outside the door for a few moments before stepping forward again.

With the cold light of the cautious people flashing in his eyes, Lin Yichen returned to the dormitory silently, without eating or drinking, and stayed in the room for a whole day before reappearing in front of everyone.
