Chapter 30: Nangong Nuo'er Makes a Move
Xia Han was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Zhiyao's words, then smiled slightly embarrassed, and said: "Xia Han's status is humble, how can he call the Eighth Imperial Concubine his sister, thank you for the Eighth Imperial Concubine's promotion, but forget about it." ”
"Humble status?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to have a lot of opinions about Xia Han's words. "If you are of humble status, then what is Nangong Nuo'er? I have long regarded you as my own sister, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation of the affairs of the Xia family sooner or later, so Xiaohan, you have to remember that you are not ashamed of the fact that you are a member of the Xia family, and one day, there will be people who want to slap you and want to work hard to have something to do with you, the Xia family, understand? ”
Xia Han sat there quietly and listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, then nodded his head twice slowly, looked at Lu Zhiyao with deep eyes, and said softly: "Xia Han understands." ”
"It's good to understand." Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly and asked, "Say, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
"It's Big Brother Bai who asked me to ask." Xia Han remembered what was going on, and hurriedly straightened up and talked to Lu Zhiyao. "You must have something important to do when you came back in a hurry this time. They want me to ask you, is there anything we can do to help? Our lives were saved by you and the Eighth Prince, so it's not comfortable to live a leisurely life here all the time. ”
"Yes, but not now." Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he said to Xia Han: "You go back and tell them that it's not time for them to make a move." ”
"Eight ......" Xia Han originally wanted to call the Eighth Imperial Concubine, but when he saw Lu Zhiyao's sharp gaze, he stopped, and then whispered: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Go and call them, and say I have something to tell them."
Xia Han responded, quickly got up and called Bai Lixuan and the others, and then exited the room by himself. Lu Zhiyao sat on the chair, glanced at the three people in front of him, motioned for them to sit down, and asked, "You have been with General Xia for so long, let me ask you, what do you think of the Qing Netherworld?" The Qing Netherworld has been eyeing us for the past few years, wanting the lion to open its mouth to swallow us, what do you think is the reason why it has not been able to succeed? ”
Lu Zhiyao suddenly talked to the three of them about state affairs, which made the three big men a little surprised. After glancing at each other, Bai Lixuan seriously thought about Lu Zhiyao's question and replied, "Compared with my country, the Qing Ming Kingdom has a great advantage in terms of terrain. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only the south side intersects with our country, so it has very little pressure on it to defend against foreign enemies, but we are different. Moreover, the Qing Netherworld has always liked to attack unexpectedly, and their soldiers are very good at night attacks, I have experienced it once, and we were defeated miserably that time. ”
"I remember that time, too." Liu Xisheng remembered the past, and his face became a little ugly. "The number of troops in the Qing Netherworld may not be greater than ours, but everyone's strength is far higher than ours. General Xia had said before that if you want to defeat them, you have to be better at what they are good at than them. ”
"General Xia, when did you say this?" Lu Zhiyao asked with interest.
"A few years ago, our Xia family and Nangong family have always had different views on how to treat the Qing Netherworld. Nangong Lingfeng thought that the people of the Qing Netherworld were just a group of barbarian people, and the two armies were fighting, as long as we had the upper hand in numbers, we would definitely not lose. Bai Lixuan couldn't help but think of one thing as he spoke. Nangong Lingfeng once came to the Xia family to drink with Xia Zhenkun and discussed how to deal with the affairs of the Qing Netherworld, but that time was also as unhappy as ever. These two people are together, and there are very few times of peace.
Lu Zhiyao listened to Bai Lixuan's words, recalled the special concubine selection meeting, and smiled bitterly. Yes, even women in the Qing Netherworld are so barbaric, let alone the soldiers trained by Xuanyuan Haotian.
"Brother Bai, if you have time, you can think of more ways to deal with the Qing Netherworld, and there will always be a time when it will be useful in the future. I think when the Eighth Prince comes back this time, he will tell you what you should do next. ”
"The imperial concubine is reminding us that the Qing Netherworld is going to do something to us?" Qingling, who had not made a sound, frowned and looked at Lu Zhiyao and asked such a sentence, which made the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense.
I didn't say that, and no one can say it for sure. It's just that we can't fight unprepared battles, and the three of you are all people who will return to the battlefield in the future, so I don't want to wait until that day when you forget how to set up your infantry and how to swing your sword to kill the enemy. ”
Lu Zhiyao's words made Bai Lixuan and the three of them hear hope. Nodding in unison with solemn expressions, the three of them walked out of Lu Zhiyao's room. Lu Zhiyao looked at the closed door, walked to the bed and lay down regardless of the image.
I didn't close my eyes all night, and it was really not that simple.
Lu Zhiyao slept with clothes for a few hours, and after waking up, another person quietly left, she walked around the city and found that Lu Zhiqing and Lin Yixiang had moved out of the palace and lived in the Luo Wangfu, and the marriage with Nangong Nuo'er also began to prepare.
Moving out of the palace is both good and bad for Lu Zhiqing. The good thing is that she can have the opportunity to contact the people of the Ye family while Lin Yixiang is not paying attention. But the bad thing is that there are not so many pairs of eyes in the palace staring, and Nangong Nuo'er wants to do something to her, which is a simpler thing.
Lu Zhiyao was secretly watching everything in King Luo's mansion, Lin Yixiang was not in the mansion, and Lu Zhiqing did not have the posture that a princess should have, and the appearance of the arrogant second lady who was once in the prime minister's mansion was simply a heaven and an earth. The servants and maids around her were all brought out of the palace directly, and they were very shrewd, and they all knew how to do things. Lu Zhiqing has been out of favor for so long, and Lin Yixiang has no intention of pampering her anymore, plus Nangong Nuo'er is about to get married, so they all know in their hearts what Lu Zhiqing's status will be in the future, so they don't care about this master even more.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Zhiqing's somewhat miserable appearance, sighed helplessly, and shook his head. How can it go on like this?
Lu Zhiyao turned to leave, and came back cautiously after a while. After leaving something for Lu Zhiqing, he left completely, went home and ate something, and prepared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Lan Ruoya.
Lu Zhiqing looked at the letters that suddenly appeared on the table in the room, and her face turned white with fright. A man stood at the table and looked at it for a long time, then he picked up the letter in a frightened heart, looked cautiously in the direction of the door, ran to the back room and sat on the bed and opened it.
Once a letter completely changed her relationship with Lin Yixiang, so she was afraid that now this letter would bring her some disaster. However, after reading a few lines, Lu Zhiqing's brain was a little insufficient.
Who wrote this letter? Who wants to help themselves secretly?
In fact, Lu Zhiyao didn't tell Lu Zhiqing any clever tricks, but he just felt that Lu Zhiqing would become more or less smart after experiencing so many things, so even if she didn't say some things too clearly, she would understand, otherwise, no matter how much she taught, it would all be time-consuming in Lang.
Lu Zhiyao told Lu Zhiqing that Lin Yixiang is not a person who likes to be at the mercy of women. A strong woman like Nangong Nuo'er, he will get bored sooner or later, etc. Lu Zhiqing calmed down and looked at the handwriting on the letter, thinking about what had happened during this period of time, and his confused mind began to clear up a little and had an idea.
Lu Zhiyao ordered Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong to follow Nangong Nuo'er in turn, pay attention to whether she left the mansion during the day, or did something, and then came back to tell her. is still disguised into Lan Ruoyan every night to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to squat, Nangong Nuo'er has never appeared, and what to do to Lu Yuanzheng. Everyone thought that Nangong Nuo'er was happy because she was about to get married, so she forgot about Lu Yuanzheng for a while. But Lu Zhiyao didn't think so at all. insisted on paying attention to Nangong Nuo'er's movements every day, and finally, after Zhan Yulong told her that Nangong Nuo'er had been out for a whole day today and happily returned to Nangong Mansion, Lu Zhiyao sighed heavily.
"Bring the news to Lan Ruoya, just say that I won't replace her tonight, let her find time to rest for a while, and watch by herself today and tomorrow." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and said to Zhan Yulong in a low voice: "Nangong Nuo'er will definitely do it in the next two days, I have to think of a way to make her die." ”
"The Eighth Imperial Concubine is so sure, she will do it in these two days?" When Zhan Yulong heard Lu Zhiyao say this, she couldn't help but be a little curious, from which point she could see that Nangong Nuo'er was planning to do it.
"I'm not completely sure, but Nangong Nuo'er has a problem, that is, she is very happy every time she kills someone, and she will go to eat a big meal. Let me ask you, has she been to any restaurant today? ”
Zhan Yulong thought about what happened today, and then nodded hesitantly, puzzled that Lu Zhiyao knew Nangong Nuo'er so well.
"That's it, you go find Ruoya, I have other things to do, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet you later."
After Lu Zhiyao sent Zhan Yulong away, he used the method that Ling Yi had taught him before to turn his appearance into a completely unfamiliar appearance, and then took out a sachet that had not been used for some days and put it on his body, prepared it, and went out.
Zhan Yulong found Lan Ruoyan and told her what Lu Zhiyao said. Lan Ruoya didn't dare to delay, and immediately did as Lu Zhiyao instructed, but when it was completely dark, she didn't see Lu Zhiyao's figure.
The Xiangfu was quiet, as if it was no different from usual. But Lu Zhiyao, who was hiding in the corner, knew how lively today's Prime Minister's Mansion would be.
