"So you mean to say that the emperor will treat the prince like this, all because of our Nangong family?" Nangong Nuo'er was silent for a while and finally opened her mouth again, her good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, although she felt very uncomfortable because of Lin Yixiang's words, but there were some things that loomed in her mind, so that she couldn't ignore it if she wanted to. "Or is what the emperor really wants to deal with is our Nangong family?"

"If I can guess all the emperor's thoughts, we won't lose so badly this time." Lin Yixiang smiled a little bitterly, he and Nangong Nuo'er are now in the same boat, and calculating the Nangong family at this time is not good for himself. "I just want to remind you that at this point, it would be better for the Nangong family not to be too public."

Lin Yixiang didn't say anything more, Nangong Nuo'er watched him stand up and walk away, falling into deep thought. Reason returned little by little, she recalled every word Lin Yixiang said, and her eyes gradually dimmed. has been planning about the prince's affairs all along, but she doesn't want that one day, the question of how to protect herself will appear on her Nangong Nuo'er.

If what Lin Yixiang said is true, then what should she do to let the Nangong family escape the emperor's "hunt" safe and sound?

The moonlight was hazy, and Lu Zhiyao stood in the courtyard, leaning against the wall, looking up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze. Until Lin Yinan walked up to her side and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" After that, Lu Zhiyao reacted.

Lin Yinan had been observing her for a while, and Lu Zhiyao's calm face made him unable to guess what she was thinking, so he could only ask directly.

Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at Lin Yinan, smiled faintly, and said softly: "I'm thinking, I still can't go on like this." ”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's curious expression and lowered his eyes. This time, he rushed back in time. saved his life and successfully dealt with the green soldiers at the border. Everything seemed so natural to him. Nangong Lingfeng left the capital after being weakened by the emperor, but Lu Zhiyao knew in his heart that this was only the beginning of the war between them and the Nangong family, and it was definitely not the end.

If that kind of thing would happen again, if he still had to face a powerful enemy like Nangong Lingfeng, if there was no Lin Yinan's appearance, would it be possible for him to leave from them unscathed?

Lu Zhiyao sighed faintly in his heart, because with her now, it is absolutely impossible.

"I'm going somewhere, you can rest first." Lu Zhiyao stood up straight, and said to Lin Yinan with some words: "Maybe I'll come back later, don't wait for me." ”

Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's expression, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything more, nodded and let her leave.

As Lu Zhiyao gradually moved away, Lin Yinan, who was standing in place, was somewhat unable to hold his breath.

The confusion and uneasiness that flashed from Lu Zhiyao's eyes just now made Lin Yinan a little concerned, a lot of things have happened recently, but there doesn't seem to be anything that can't be said between the two of them. Except for her injury, she always refused to let go of him.

Lin Yinan retracted his gaze and walked over with Lu Zhiyao. Follow all the way, and slowly stop after the last. Lin Yinan looked at the place in front of him and said that he was not surprised, it was fake.

I didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to come to the Beauty Pavilion, it's so late, what's the matter with her coming here?

Lu Zhiyao didn't notice Lin Yinan's existence at all, and went straight to the venue where he had been practicing with Lin Mubai before, but he didn't see Lin Mubai's figure. Just when Lu Zhiyao was a little disappointed and unsure whether he should go back to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Yin Jianli happened to appear.

"The prince asked me to come over and have a look, but I didn't expect the Eighth Imperial Concubine to really come." Yin Jianli looked at Lu Zhiyao unexpectedly and said, "Wait a while, I'll go tell the prince." ”

Lu Zhiyao let out an "um", leaned on the stake and lowered his head and waited for Lin Mubai to arrive. Lin Mubai walked slowly in front of her, looked at Lu Zhiyao's gaze, and whispered, "I didn't expect you to come." ”

"I know that I weigh a few pounds and taels, so I have to trouble Uncle Huang to continue to teach me martial arts."

Lin Mubai took Lu Zhiyao's serious expression into his eyes and asked, "Don't regret it?" ”

"No regrets."

As soon as Lu Zhiyao's voice fell, his entire body jumped up instantly, and then fell steadily into the distance, dodging the blow that Lin Mubai had just hit.

Lin Mubai's eyes flashed, and his gaze looked over Lu Zhiyao's body to look somewhere behind her. After a moment, his gaze retracted, and all his attention was focused on Lu Zhiyao's body again.

Lin Mubai practiced with Lu Zhiyao for less than an hour, and then took the initiative to withdraw. Looking back at Yin Jianli, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, Lin Mubai spoke softly and said, "It's your place." ”

Yin Jianli continued to accompany Lu Lu in place of Lin Mubai, and after Lin Mubai put down his sleeves, he walked straight outside.

There is no surprise to see Lin Yinan and Lin Mubai here, he has already returned, it is impossible not to know that Lu Dao Lu Zhiyao came out so late, and it is impossible to just ask her where she is going.

"She's been coming to you all these days?" Lin Yinan frowned slightly, looked at Lin Mubai, and asked in a cold voice.

"That's right." Lin Mubai replied happily, "Why, she didn't tell you?" ”

Lin Yinan didn't say anything, but he had an answer in his heart about where Lu Zhiyao's injury came from.

A feeling that Lin Yinan couldn't explain clearly for a while came to his heart, in addition to being distressed, he was also a little angry.

"Going back so soon?" Lin Mubai watched Lin Yinan turn around and walk forward, and asked, "Don't continue looking?" ”

"Don't let her know I've been here." Lin Yinan only left a sentence and quickly disappeared into the dark night, Lin Mubai looked at the direction he left for a while, smiled softly, and returned to the venue where Lu Zhiyao was.

"It's almost for today, so that's it."

Lin Mubai opened his mouth, and Lu Zhiyao and Yin Jianli stopped their hands and looked at him.

Lu Zhiyao wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking about the current time, it was time to go back. But how to explain to Lin Yinan, she never thought about it. In the future, she can't run out like this every day, but if she doesn't come, she is unwilling. I am not willing to be so weak, and I am not willing to be protected by others.

Lu Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the Eight Emperors Mansion alone. tiptoed open the door and walked into the room, and before he could reach the bed, he heard Lin Yinan's lazy voice slowly sounding. "Coming back?"

"Ahh Lu Zhiyao's body stiffened, and the corners of his mouth pulled up an arc uncomfortably, "Haven't slept yet?" ”

"Just woke up." Lin Yinan replied in a clear voice, without asking where Lu Zhiyao was, which made Lu Zhiyao breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhiyao took off his clothes, lifted the quilt and got into the quilt with the coolness of his body. Before he could lie down, he was taken into his arms by Lin Yinan.

"Tired, go to bed early." The soft voice softened Lu Zhiyao's heart, pillowed Lin Yinan's arm, and gently closed his eyes, Lu Zhiyao's mood was extremely complicated.

He was so calm that he didn't ask anything, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Lu Zhiyao sighed secretly and scolded himself in his heart. I didn't feel sleepy for a long time, so I could only open my eyes again, but I didn't know what to see.

"Can't sleep?"

Lu Zhiyao's tense nerves have not relaxed, so even if Lin Yinan can't see her, he knows that she must not have fallen asleep yet.

"Ah......" Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth apologetically, "Why don't you sleep by yourself first." ”

After speaking, Lu Zhiyao pushed Lin Yinan's arm, wanting to make him turn around with a pillow alone.

A sigh came from Lin Yinan, "Zhiyao, you are so uncalm, it is impossible for me to pretend that nothing happened." ”

Lu Zhiyao was a little annoyed when he heard Lin Yinan's words, and before he could think about how to pick him up, he was hugged by Lin Yinan and sat up.

Lu Zhiyao leaned on Lin Yinan's chest, and his heartbeat could be clearly heard.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Lu Zhiyao wanted to reply to him with a "no", but after thinking about his current martial arts, he decided to tell Lin Yinan the truth after thinking about it again. Because it's not always going on like this, leaving every night, it is impossible for Lin Yinan not to suspect that in the future, it is better for Lin Yinan to tell the truth in person, anyway, it is not something unseemly.

"Ever since I came back, I've been learning martial arts from Uncle Huang." Lu Zhiyao slowly opened his mouth and said frankly: "It was not easy for him to agree, so I don't want to give up." ”

"Your injuries are all because of martial arts training?" Lin Yinan asked without ups and downs.

"Hmm." Lu Zhiyao nodded hesitantly, "I'm going to see him today." ”

Lin Yinan didn't say anything to Lu Zhiyao soon, just when Lu Zhiyao thought that he was angry because he was hiding this, he heard Lin Yinan say slowly: "Sometimes I really feel how hateful it is to be powerless. ”

Lin Yinan raised his hand and stroked Lu Zhiyao's long hair, and continued: "I thought I could protect you, but when it came to the worst of the day, it was still the same. ”

Lin Yinan's voice was very low, but Lu Zhiyao could still hear the frustration revealed between the words.

Hurriedly sat up straight, Lu Zhiyao reflexively looked back at him, and said a little anxiously: "This is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you!" ”

"Yes." Lin Yinan stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Zhiyao back to him again, feeling the restlessness of the person in his arms, Lin Yinan said in a low voice: "If I could have done it earlier to help you take revenge, you wouldn't have to end up with this scar all over your body." ”

Avenge?!

Lu Zhiyao was shocked, and suddenly reacted to what Lin Yinan said.

He thought that he was in a hurry to kill Lin Yixiang and wanted to kill Nangong Lingfeng, so he ran so hard to find Lin Mubai to suffer, so he blamed himself for not helping himself?

"It's not what you think, I will avenge the Xia family's revenge myself, and I don't need you to interfere!" Lu Zhiyao hurriedly explained, but suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
