"The Eighth Imperial Concubine wants to choose a side concubine for the Eighth Imperial Prince, and I want to discuss it with you?!"

When Lin Yunlong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Nangong Liu Xi frowned and glanced at him, and after Lin Yunlong restrained a little, he asked again: "The one who was with you that day, the woman who was favored by the Eighth Imperial Concubine, was the daughter of which minister?" What is it called? ”

"Back to the emperor, it's Minister Liu's family, Liu Yiyu." Lu Zhiyao answered Lin Yunlong's question out loud, making the atmosphere in the room cold and changing the taste. "But I thought about it again and felt that this Liu Yiyu was not very suitable. After all, she used to have such a good relationship with Xia Yao of the Xia family, and then she inexplicably went to the Qing Netherworld. Bringing this kind of woman to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, I don't think I'm not only not at ease, but also the emperor and queen will not be at ease, right? ”

"Since the Eighth Imperial Concubine thinks it's inappropriate, why bother to discuss this matter with Jiang Han. Do you really want to find a side concubine for the Eighth Prince, or do you want to take the opportunity to ask Liu Yiyu for news? So what is the relationship between Liu Yiyu and the Qing Ying Kingdom, it should not be the turn of the Eight Emperors Mansion to investigate, this time, is the Eighth Emperor Concubine a little lenient? ”

Nangong Liuxi asked with a silent smile, causing the already stiff atmosphere to drop sharply in an instant.

"The queen is too worried, Liu Yiyu and the affairs of the Qing Ming Kingdom have nothing to do with the Eight Emperors' Mansion, and it is indeed not the turn of the Eight Emperors Mansion to take care of it. Besides, even if I want to find out about Liu Yiyu, I shouldn't ask Jiang Han, right? What secrets does Jiang Han know about Liu Yiyu and the Qing Ming Kingdom? Isn't it in vain to ask her? ”

"In that case, the Assassin who appeared in the Eight Emperors' Mansion that day is really worthy of suspicion." Nangong Liuxi's words were pushed back by Lu Zhiyao, but she was not annoyed, but quickly changed the topic and returned to the assassin. "Since the assassin didn't succeed, he will definitely come back again. Your Majesty, neither the Chiang Mansion nor the Eight Emperors' Mansion are guarded by guards......"

"What does the queen want, then what to do." Lin Yunlong stood up with his clothes brushed away, looking like he wanted to leave.

Nangong Liuxi took the opportunity to say that he would add more guards to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lin Yunlong didn't say anything, and Lu Zhiyao also thanked her for her kindness with a smile on his face.

Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yunlong out of Nangong Liuxi's palace, and a few people didn't go far before they met one person. Lu Zhiyao took a look and found that it was actually the fourth prince who had been in the limelight recently, Lin Yinuo.

"You've come just in time, I'm looking for you." When Lin Yunlong saw Lin Yinuo, his eyebrows softened, and he took two steps forward to Lin Yinuo's side and was about to leave with him. But after walking out for a short time, Lin Yunlong looked back at Lu Zhiyao as if he remembered something, and said, "You come over too." ”

Lu Zhiyao answered and walked over and left with Lin Yunlong. Along the way, Lu Zhiyao was scanning Lin Yinuo without a trace, she was very unfamiliar with this prince, unlike Lin Yinan, she had rarely even heard his name before.

"How's the investigation of what I gave you before?"

Lin Yunlong's voice pulled Lu Zhiyao back to reality from his contemplation, and soon understood that Lin Yunlong was talking about Liu Yiyu, Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice: "Back to my father, I am still investigating that matter, because I am not sure if my father still wants me to continue to investigate this matter, so I don't dare to make too many moves." ”

"Don't dare?" Lin Yunlong smiled playfully, and then let Lu Zhiyao go. "Continue to investigate, and report any clues immediately."

Lin Yunlong intended to help Lu Zhiyao so that she could leave the palace earlier. After Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yunlong separated, they returned to the Eight Emperors' Mansion accompanied by Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong, and the guards that the Empress said she wanted to add to the Eight Emperors' Mansion soon appeared around the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

For these guards who nominally wanted to protect themselves and Lin Yinan's safety, Lu Zhiyao knew very well what their identities were. Nangong Liuxi just made an excuse, and openly arranged for people to go to the Eight Emperors' Mansion to monitor them, and the emperor should have guessed it, but he was too lazy to care, or rather, he was more willing to see such a scene now.

The two factions of the crown prince and the eighth prince contain each other, and neither of them acts rashly, and it is the emperor who benefits.

As soon as Lu Zhiyao came back from the palace, the Eight Emperors' Mansion was almost surrounded. Faced with this situation, everyone in the house had to be nervous. But Lu Zhiyao, who caused the incident, seemed to be in a good mood all the time, and his smile was always on his face.

Lin Yinan came out of the study and listened to Ling Yi's report to him about everything that happened, his eyes moved slightly. found Lu Zhiyao, and looked at her as if nothing had happened, sitting in the house and chatting with Yudie, talking and laughing, Lin Yinan stopped there, patiently waiting for the two to finish.

Yudie saw Lin Yinan coming, so she retreated with interest. There were only two people left in the room, Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at him who was still standing there, and asked with a hint of excitement: "Do you guess there will be a few masters among those people outside?" ”

"Master?" Lin Yinan paced to Lu Zhiyao's side, looked down at her with her head up, and asked, "The master sent by the queen?" ”

"Since you're here to spy on us, it's definitely not too bad. Do you think the queen will doubt it, what do we have to do with the four princes? ”

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Lin Yinan was a little interested in Lu Zhiyao's question, "Isn't it because of Jiang Han's business that you entered the palace this time?" ”

"It's Jiang Han's business, yes, but if I were the queen, I would probably be worried that my two enemies would be implicated."

The purpose of the Nangong family is too strong, they have been aiming to let the crown prince succeed to the throne from the beginning, and they will not win over people who have no use value. The fourth prince was unknown before, and he knew that Lu Dao would not be favored by the Nangong family. And Lin Yinan is different, he has been silent for so many years, never stated his position and never showed favor to anyone, after suddenly appearing, Lin Yinuo came to the throne so quickly, so Lu Zhiyao thought, even if the queen didn't say it, she must be anxious in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have brought so many people, just to monitor their every move.

"So what you're bringing so many people back for?" Lin Yinan smiled and sat beside Lu Zhiyao, believing that Lu Zhiyao had a plan.

"I'm going to get rid of all the people sent by the queen." Lu Zhiyao said in a clear voice, "She sent people here in the name of protecting us, and I sent people away in the name of assassins, anyway, it's already like this, you shouldn't mind if our relationship with her gets a little worse, right?" ”

"All?" Lin Yinan thought about the number of guards outside now, "When?" ”

"All. Let me think about it. ”

The smile on Lu Zhiyao's face disappeared, after being separated for so long, this was the first time Lin Yinan had seen such an inevitable look on her face.

Lu Zhiyao thought that even if few people would believe Jiang Han's excuse, the prince would still spread the word about it. Gossip must be indispensable, otherwise the queen would not be able to explain the extra guards around the Eight Emperors' Mansion, and there would be no way to attract more attention to the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

Lu Zhiyao never likes to owe anything to others, so she will definitely find a way to repay Jiang Han's "kindness".

Lu Zhiyao has been reading the book that Lin Yinan gave her before these days, and adjusting her state according to what the book says, she found that it was really different from before.

"The second person on the left, is his martial arts higher than the others?"

On this day, Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan were planning to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they walked out of the gate of the Eight Emperors' Mansion and saw several guards walking in front, she whispered to Lin Yinan beside her.

Lin Yinan frowned and looked sideways at Lu Zhiyao. "How did you know about it?"

Lu Zhiyao got the answer he wanted from Lin Yinan's expression and confirmed his conjecture, and Lu Zhiyao smiled with relief. "It's just a feeling." She replied to Lin Yinan seemingly perfunctorily, and then got into the sedan chair, leaving Lin Yinan to wonder alone.

Lu Zhiyao didn't lie, she really just relied on feelings. After a few days of silence, there were some senses in my body as if I had been asleep for a long time and gradually woke up. She could sometimes tell someone coming from a long distance, and even identify the person by the sound of footsteps. Although it was only a few times, it was just a coincidence that Lu Zhiyao was a little confused, but sometimes the inexplicable strong feeling made her unable to ignore it.

Since killing those death row inmates that day, Lu Zhiyao has been silently controlling himself. She tried not to participate in all of Lin Yinan's plans and actions, and worked hard to stop fighting with others. She didn't know if Lu Dao was self-deception, but she was really afraid of being so excited.

In Lu Zhiyao's contemplation all the way, the sedan chair had already arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Zhiyao stepped out of the sedan chair and looked at the man at the door and walked over.

"Daddy." Lu Zhiyao spoke softly, and after Lin Yinan also arrived by her side, she naturally took Lu Yuanzheng's arm and walked towards the mansion.

"The capital has not been peaceful recently, and it would be good to bring more guards with you when you come out." Lu Yuanzheng also knew about Empress Lu Dao's sending guards to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, and said with a frown, he was somewhat worried about the head-to-head confrontation between the crown prince and the eighth prince.

"How does Dad know that the road is not peaceful? Is something happening again? ”

"Haven't you heard about the death of the Gu family?"

"Gu family?" Lu Zhiyao pondered for a moment and remembered something. "The Gu family who does business?"

"yes." Lu Yuanzheng sighed and said with emotion: "The family of Hao Lu is scattered like this, but it is a pity that there is no one to take over such a big family business." ”

"I didn't expect my dad to pay attention to this kind of thing." Lu Zhiyao felt a little surprised, she asked with a smile: "I thought my father would only be interested in things in officialdom." ”

"It's not that I want to pay attention, but I listen a lot, and I naturally remember it."
