Chapter 32: The Jade Pendant Sent by Xia Yao [Second Update]
The two sat on both sides of the table, and after a long silence, Lin Yinuo took the initiative to speak.
"I have something I want to ask for the Eighth Prince."
"Please?" Lin Yinan looked straight at him and said with a calm smile: "Fourth brother is joking, right?" β
Lin Yinan's "fourth brother" called Lin Yinuo's heart trembled, sighed, he spoke again, and said: "It's not a joke, and I think this matter, only you can help me." β
Lin Yinuo's expression was very serious, which made Lin Yinan inevitably a little curious about the reason why he was looking for himself. After listening to Lin Yinuo's words, Lin Yinan said with some embarrassment: "Tell me this kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" β
Lin Yinuo was talking about nothing else, but about the prince. I don't know where he heard the news, or if there was indeed something on the prince's side. Lin Yinuo looked for Lin Yinan in the hope that Lin Yinan would make a move and drag him out of this war.
Lin Yinuo didn't answer, Lin Yinan looked into his eyes and asked, "And then again, why do I want to help you?" What good do I do if I help you? β
"Three days later, my father will announce to the people of the world that I will be appointed as the prince. When the time comes, the crown prince's faction and others will definitely take action, I don't ask for anything else, and I don't expect to ascend to the throne again at this point. As long as I can leave the palace and leave the capital, if you want me to help, I will definitely do my best to help. β
Lin Yinuo's words are very certain, and this matter is something that even Lin Yinan never knows. Looking at it now, Lin Yinuo is the only prince who may succeed to the throne by the emperor, but he chose this time to say that he was going to withdraw. This is a great opportunity for others, why did he come to this place? Was it because he had discovered something secretly, sensed the danger, and realized that he was powerless to fight the other party?
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you before the crown prince?"
"So I approached you, willing to give you this seat. Because it seems to me that you are going to be more powerful than the crown prince. β
"Then should I be praised by Fourth Brother Xie Xie?" Lin Yinan laughed at himself and said: "I knew in advance that my father wanted to make you the prince, but the prince seemed to have said the same thing. How can you be so sure that the name that came out three days later was you and not him, Lin Yichen? β
"I've already seen the edict, and I can't be wrong."
So the prince was completely tricked by the emperor? Lin Yinan secretly thought in his heart that he was not completely resistant to Lin Yinuo's sudden overture. No matter what reason he was afraid that the prince would attack him, in short, now that he had said this, Lin Yinan had no reason not to help. What's more, you can also put the responsibility on the prince's side by the way, why not?
"Let me think about this matter, and I'll send someone to give you an answer after I think about it."
Lin Yinan's answer made Lin Yinuo breathe a sigh of relief. Looking for Lin Yinan was also decided by him with a lot of determination, and seeing Lin Yinan get up and leave, Lin Yinuo was not sleepy for a long time. There's been so much going on lately, so much so much that it's like a dream. Thinking of the secret he inadvertently discovered today, Lin Yinuo couldn't help but feel afraid. As Lin Yinan said, he can go to the crown prince, but the prince dares to fight the emperor's idea, what can't he do?
Lu Zhiyao lay on the bed and waited for Lin Yinan to come back, thinking about the design of Liu Yiyu by the way. The sound of the door pushing open interrupted her train of thought, and she turned over and sat up, Lin Yinan was still as calm as usual, and she couldn't tell what was going on. Lu Zhiyao didn't ask too much about him and Lin Yinuo, but rested after a few simple chats with Lin Yinan. At dawn the next day, the two went to their own business, and Lu Zhiyao didn't know until he set off to the Prime Minister's Mansion that Lu Zhiqing was back today.
"You're all right, right?" Lu Yuanzheng asked with concern after seeing Lu Zhiyao, looking at Lu Zhiyao with a relaxed smile and saying that there was nothing wrong, Lu Yuanzheng hesitated again and again and asked in a low voice: "When did your martial arts ......?"
"The Eight Emperors taught, and they were injured before they were ready for the fire." Lu Zhiyao made it up casually, and it didn't matter whether Lu Yuanzheng believed it or not, anyway, even if she told the truth, no one would take it seriously. "Dad, I came back today to look for you. Regarding the matter in Prince Luo's mansion that day, the emperor has handed it over to Prince Luo and the Eighth Prince to investigate together, do you know about this matter? β
"Zhilu Dao." Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Zhiyao talked as they walked. "What do you want me to do?"
"Recently, help me secretly keep an eye on Yanagi's movements. Which ministers are still privately connected with him, I would like to know. β
"Do you suspect that the events of that day had something to do with Liufu?" Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao suspiciously, "It shouldn't be, the relationship between the Liu Mansion and the Jiang Mansion is good." β
"Dad, don't forget, the relationship between Liufu and Xia Mansion was also good before." Lu Zhiyao said meaningfully: "The matter has not been clarified yet, and I am just guessing now." By the way, I heard the slave say that my sister is back? β
"Well, I'll be back in the morning."
"I'm still gone, and my sister may not be happy to see me now." After Lu Zhiyao explained some things about Lu Yuanzheng, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the Eight Emperors' Mansion honestly.
Liu Yiyu and Liu Shengyuan are also in their own house, and no one comes to them, and it is difficult for them to find anyone else. In addition to going to Jiang's Mansion occasionally, he also has to worry about his life.
Liu Yiyu was idle in the room, and after walking around, she found that there was nothing interesting in the house. She went back to her room to take a nap, but when she woke up, she found something that made her creepy.
With a casual glance, Liu Yiyu saw something extra on the table. Thinking she was dazzled, she reflexively rubbed her eyes, then jumped out of bed and walked to the table.
Seeing the things on the table clearly, Liu Yiyu felt that the air in the room was cold all of a sudden. Hurriedly escaped from the room, and the moment the sun shone on her, Liu Yiyu felt a little warmer.
Calling loudly to serve her maid, Liu Yiyu asked coldly, "Who entered my room when I was resting?" β
The maids looked at each other, then shook their heads. Liu Yiyu was easily woken up when she was sleeping, and none of them had the courage to disturb her rest.
The maid's answer made Liu Yiyu's heart even more angry. Carefully discerning the expressions on their faces, they didn't look like they were lying. Liu Yiyu remembered what was on the table, and she didn't even want to step into the room again. Or rather, she didn't dare.
That thing was bought by her and Xia Yao before, and she remembered it so clearly because it was her birthday, and that thing was not often seen.
It was a very beautiful ring pendant, composed of more than a dozen small jade pendants worn with silk threads, and the price was outrageously high. At that time, she really liked it when she saw it, and Xia Yao bought it and gave it to her when she saw this.
Liu Yiyu threw that thing away a long time ago. That's right, it was the night before Xia Yao and Lin Yixiang got married, on the day she left home and wanted to play a good show, but was sold to the Qing Netherworld.
She remembered the sound of the jade pendant thrown into the water at that time, and she also threw away a lot of things at that time, which were given to her by Xia Yao. Xia Yao is very generous to her "friend", and it seems that she is like this to everyone around her. But even so, Liu Yiyu still doesn't like her.
Maybe it's because of the identity gap, maybe it's because I like a man too. Maybe standing next to her, who is known by everyone as the first beauty in Xia Lai, Liu Yiyu will not be noticed by anyone at all. So when accepting Xia Yao's kindness, she was not so willing.
Well, how did that thing come back? And it's on her table in her room!
Liu Yiyu tensed all over, her eyes drifted to her room, although it was daytime, she never dared to take a step closer there.
Xia Yao's death was not without impact on Liu Yiyu, and in the time after learning of her death, Liu Yiyu also thought that there should never be someone like Xia Yao who treated her well in this life. Liu Yiyu also blamed herself for everything that happened to Xia Yao and Lin Yixiang behind her back, but she couldn't suppress her feelings for Lin Yixiang in her heart, so things became the most embarrassing.
She just saw her name engraved on the jade pendant very clearly, and the palm she was holding was already in a cold sweat, Liu Yiyu swallowed her saliva, and said under the gaze of several maids: "Go and take out the things on the table in the room and throw them away." β
The fast-legged maid immediately ran into the room, looking at a beautiful dressing box on the table with a jade pendant that she knew at a glance that it was a good thing, and she took it back to Liu Yiyu.
"Is this the case, Miss?"
"Hurry up and throw it away!" Liu Yiyu didn't even want to look at it again, and the disgusted expression made the maid not dare to ask again, so she nodded again and again and left with her things. But after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but stop, looked at Liu Yiyu and asked, "Miss, where to throw it?" β
"The farther the better!" Liu Yiyu yelled impatiently, and then called the other two maids and asked them to accompany her to Madame's room.
The maid who was in charge of throwing away the jade pendant looked at the things in her hand while walking, and felt sorry.
How can Miss throw away such a valuable thing? I may not be able to afford such a jade pendant for the rest of my life......
Walking out of Liufu, the little maid became more and more confused. The capital is so big, where should she throw her things? Thinking about it again, even if she doesn't throw it away, Miss shouldn't know what to do, right? Wouldn't it be nice to take this jade to a pawnshop and exchange it for silver?
After struggling with herself for a long time, she finally made a decision and walked towards the bustling street. walked into the pawnshop and handed the jade pendant to the shopkeeper. After bargaining with his teeth, he walked out of the pawnshop with the silver in his hand, and his heart was about to jump out.
Carefully put away the silver, and the maid returned to Liufu. Faced with the questioning of several other maids, she casually made up: "Throw it to a person who asks for food, I originally wanted to keep it secretly, but the terrible lady found out that she would blame it again in the future, so she didn't dare." β
