Chapter 1 is underestimated
Su Shi's tone was tinged with a hint of joy, although he had long thought that there would be such a day, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little incredible.
"Don't talk nonsense, how did you check what I asked you to check?"
Lin Yinan didn't have the mood to tease him, and Su Shi also put on a serious expression at this time, and told Lin Yinan the truth he had found out.
Lin Yinan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then commanded in a low voice: "Continue to keep an eye on him, and if necessary, you can help him." ”
Su Shi raised his eyebrows a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and after responding softly, he and Lin Yinan left one after the other.
The Eight Emperors' Mansion looked no different from ordinary on the surface, but the people in it could clearly feel the slightly oppressive and somewhat tense atmosphere.
The only few maids and servants in the house before were also changed unconsciously. Su Shi and the others were busy all day long, and Lin Yinan didn't go out of the house much, but there was a big gap compared with before. However, Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong seemed to be particularly idle, and they often appeared by Lu Zhiyao's side, which made Yudie and Wanyue feel that something was wrong.
"Madam, didn't the two of them always follow the Eighth Prince before? What's changed recently? ”
On the street, Wan Yue walked beside Lu Zhiyao with a puzzled face, glanced at the two people behind her with her spare eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm." Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, and replied in a good mood: "They did something wrong and made people unhappy, so they were sent to us to carry things for us." ”
The conversation between Xuan Yue and Lu Zhiyao all fell into the ears of the two men, frowning and looking at the things in their hands, they both sighed secretly.
Lin Yinan has been doing more and more recently, and the two people who are responsible for protecting Lu Zhiyao's safety thought that Lu Zhiyao would secretly follow and participate in something, after all, she is a restless person in her bones. But who knows, Lu Zhiyao seems to enjoy this kind of life quite a bit, and on weekdays, he either hides in his room to read, or accompanies the maid to go out to buy vegetables and hang out. It's just that Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong have suffered from it, and they have unknowingly become minions who run errands and carry things.
Wanyue chuckled, knowing in her heart that Lu Zhiyao was joking. The clever looked around, but all the people who looked extremely ordinary looked at it, and there were no suspicious people. Leaned back to Lu Zhiyao's side, hoping that she could come in handy at a critical moment, and she was careful and nervous all the time. Lu Zhiyao felt her unnaturalness, smiled without a trace, and remembered Wanyue's heart in his heart.
The oncoming sedan chair made Lu Zhiyao's plain eyes change a little. "That's supposed to be someone from the Prime Minister's House, right?" Lu Zhiyao asked Wanyue in a low voice.
Wanyue looked at the line of sight from the distance of landing, and nodded after careful discernment.
"I don't know if it's the old man or the second lady inside."
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and his eyes kept moving with the sedan chair. Looking at the direction it went away, I also had an answer to the identity of the person in the sedan chair. Lu Yuanzheng should have nothing to do that needs to go to Ye Mansion in person, so eight out of ten people inside are Ye Lianrong.
Ye Lianrong has rarely gone home recently, and as soon as she entered Ye's Mansion and walked a short distance, she heard the sound of a woman crying.
She stopped and looked in the direction from which the voice had come, and her already modest mood became even more irritable.
Walking to the front of the house, Ye Lianrong kicked the door open suddenly, so that Xiao Yihe, who was still in pain, could not react.
"What is this? One cry and two fuss. Ye Lianrong first looked at the mess all over the ground with a displeased expression, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Yihe's face full of tears. Do you want me to get a rope for you and hang yourself three times? ”
Xiao Yihe didn't have a good life after marrying Ye Shengnan, and now he doesn't even have a child, so he is widowed. As soon as she thought of what happened to her, her heart was extremely dull, and she wanted to take advantage of Ye Zhihua's time to vent, but she was unexpectedly bumped into by Ye Lianrong.
Ye Lianrong's unceremonious tone made Xiao Yihe's face even more ugly, wiped her tears, and asked aloud, "Why did my sister suddenly remember to come back?" Is there something going on with your father? ”
Ye Lianrong stared at Xiao Yi and her red eyes, although Ye Shengnan's death made none of them feel uncomfortable, but these two women who had already looked at each other were a little unhappy, but now because they didn't have the relationship with that person, the dissatisfaction with each other in their hearts also expanded unconsciously.
"Isn't it just a widow? As for it? Ye Lianrong said sarcastically: "My brother has only been gone for a long time, and he has already started to make such a fuss, do you want to drop all the things of our Ye family to be satisfied?" ”
Xiao Yihe was in a belly of fire, and after listening to Ye Lianrong's words, he was not to be outdone, and shot back: "That's right, isn't it just a widow?" Whatever! It's better than some widows! My sister's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion may not be better than mine, right? ”
"You're ......!" Xiao Yihe's words were like a sharp blade, stabbing Ye Lianrong's heart, looking at Xiao Yihe's smiling expression angrily, Ye Lianrong didn't say anything more, and rushed straight up.
The two women soon fought together, and Yuechan, who came in with Ye Lianrong, was frightened and her legs were weak when she saw such a scene. It's useless to persuade you, and you don't dare to reach out. Fortunately, Ye Lianrong and Xiao Yihe fought for a while, and then slowly stopped, looking at each other's embarrassed appearances, no one said anything.
keeps hurting each other with words, but in fact, the most uncomfortable thing in my heart is myself.
Ye Shengnan's death has brought an unspeakable haze to this family. Even though he deserved it, he was still their family after all.
Ye Lianrong gasped and straightened her clothes and hair, glared at Xiao Yihe viciously, and then strode out of her room. And Xiao Yihe continued to cry after no one, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances in his heart.
Ye Lianrong came back to find Ye Zhihua for something, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Ye Zhihua come back, so she had to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily.
As soon as Ye Lianrong got out of the sedan chair, she saw Lu Yuanzheng with a solemn face, and stepped forward to ask the reason, but Lu Yuanzheng just shook his head, and then walked away alone.
Soon after Lu Zhiyao returned home, he was called by the people in the palace. Accompanied by Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong, Lu Zhiyao came to Nangong Liu Xi. Looking at the emperor and Jiang Han who were also in the room, Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly.
Salute the emperor and the queen and say goodbye, and Lu Zhiyao waited to be interrogated. Sure enough, after a short polite remark, Lu Zhiyao heard the queen start mentioning Jiang Han's injury.
Lu Zhiyao remembered the last time Lin Yinan embarrassed Nangong Liuxi, and did not immediately answer Nangong Liuxi's question. Raising his eyes to look at Jiang Han who was sitting opposite him, Lu Zhiyao asked with some confusion: "Since Miss Jiang's body is no longer in serious trouble and she can speak, why hasn't the emperor and queen been told the cause of this incident?" ”
"Xiao Han has already told Bengong about the matter, and Bengong just wants to hear what you said now."
Nangong Liuxi smiled seemingly casually, picked up the teacup at hand casually and took a sip, and replied softly to the question of landing away.
The other party kept forcing himself to speak, but Lu Zhiyao didn't think about what kind of lie he wanted to weave for Jiang Han. With his eyes off, Lu Zhiyao quickly glanced at Lin Yunlong who was sitting there. Facing Lin Yunlong's dark eyes, Lu Zhiyao stood up straight, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There is nothing to say about this matter in the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Miss Jiang is what she says." ”
Lin Yunlong was specially found, and he had been sitting there with an attitude of not caring about himself, he actually wanted to hear what Lu Zhiyao had to say, but he didn't want Lu Zhiyao to dare to say such a thing with his eyes.
Do you want to get yourself to help? Lin Yunlong pondered secretly. Why did she think she would help her at this time?
"Okay, Jiang Han, you can say it." Lin Yunlong sighed, turned his head to look at Jiang Han, and said with a little tiredness on his face.
Jiang Han frowned, stood up from the stool and walked to Lu Zhiyao's side, facing Lin Yunlong and Nangong Liuxi and said, "Back to the emperor and queen, the people's daughter will be in the Eight Emperors' Mansion that day, because of the previous invitation of the Eighth Imperial Concubine." As for the injuries on the body......"
Jiang Han suddenly stopped when she said the key point, with a look of fear on her face, she swallowed her saliva and continued: "The injury on her body is because she met the assassin in the Eight Emperors' Mansion that day. I think the Eighth Imperial Concubine has been silent these days, and has not said anything about this matter, perhaps because she is worried about my safety, after all, the assassin of that day has not been caught, and it is not clear who she is aiming for, Eighth Imperial Princess, am I right? ”
Lu Zhiyao turned his head to meet Jiang Han's gaze, and listened to Lin Yunlong's voice before coming from the side.
"You mean, you were injured to save her?"
Jiang Han's wording is actually no one will believe it, Nangong Liuxi will not, and Lin Yunlong will not. But when she said it, no one would question anything directly. So after Jiang Han nodded affirmatively, Lin Yunlong was silent. He looked directly at Lu Zhiyao, and there was a smile in the depths of his eyes that was not easy to find.
Jiang Han blocked the knife of the "assassin", found a reason for not saying anything, and carried all the good things, so what could she do? Lu Zhiyao thought about it and felt that she could only be a bad person now.
Lu Zhiyao smiled meaninglessly and took Lin Yunlong's words. "She's right, she was hurt for me."
"The Eighth Imperial Concubine is so dignified, how could she think of inviting you to her mansion?" Lin Yunlong continued to ask curiously.
"Because the folk girl met the Eighth Emperor Concubine a few days ago, there was another person accompanying her at that time. The Eighth Imperial Concubine came to me privately and said that she wanted to choose a side concubine for the Eighth Emperor, and casually asked me about that person, and chose a date for me to go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion to discuss this matter in detail, so I went. ”
Jiang Han replied very calmly, and Lu Zhiyao's face did not change when he listened. It's just that after Jiang Han's words were finished, Lu Zhiyao suddenly realized that he was completely underestimated now. Whether it's Jiang Han or Nangong Liuxi, otherwise how could she find such a boring trick to show the emperor.
