Lu Zhiyao looked at the girl who was talking, and the unfamiliar face made her curious.

"It's nothing, passing by here, where is Xia Han? Take me over and see it. ”

Lu Zhiyao was behind Lin Yinan, and was led to walk in the courtyard that he was very familiar with, and then saw the person he had been worried about all along.

Xia Han was very surprised when he saw Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan, and then happily walked in front of the two of them, and asked very unexpectedly, "Why did the eighth prince and his sister come here?" ”

Xia Han has only been back for two days, and he has not yet adapted to living here. She has changed a lot of places during this time, and I thought it would be the same this time, but she just went to a random place to stay for a few days before being taken away. But she never imagined that she would be brought back here.

"When I was idle and bored in the house, I came out for a walk, and when I heard that you were here, I came over." Lu Zhiyao took Xia Han's hand and walked into the house, and after taking two steps, he found that Lin Yinan had not moved, and was still standing there. Looking back at Lin Yinan, I heard him say.

"I still have something to do, I'll be back to pick you up later."

Lu Zhiyao looked at him suspiciously, nodded his head, and entered the room with Xia Han. Lin Yinan looked at the closed door, and did not leave the Xia Mansion, but jumped onto the roof next to him, and lay down leisurely to bask in the sun.

The maid opened her eyes in surprise when she saw Lin Yinan's actions, but she didn't dare to ask anything, and returned to her post to continue to monitor the surrounding movements.

Xia Han hesitated after entering the house, but still asked Lu Zhiyao what had happened recently.

"Did the emperor find out that I was still alive, so he wanted to get rid of me?" Xia Han asked with a worried face, it was not a long-term plan for her to hide like this all the time. Although Lin Yinan arranged a lot of people around her, and each of them looked like a master, this did not make Xia Han sleep peacefully every night. She once escaped death, but now she is extremely worried about her own safety, and she is also extremely sensitive to everything that happens around her. Coming back here again, it's like everything is back to square one. It's just that the people around me are no longer there.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Xia Han's uneasy expression in her eyes, in fact, she has been confused and uneasy recently, but when facing her sister in front of her, she can't show anything.

"The emperor has always known that you are alive." Lu Zhiyao's words made Xia Han stand up immediately, "It's only the people on the prince's side who are looking for you now, you don't have to care so much, with the emperor and the eighth prince protecting you, no one can hurt you." ”

"Emperor, Emperor?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Zhiyao replied affirmatively: "And the emperor also promised to return this place to you after the Xia family is rehabilitated, so you don't have to worry about the Xia family's mansion being occupied by others." ”

Lu Zhiyao's words made Xia Han a little incomprehensible, if it weren't for the emperor, their Xia family wouldn't have fallen to this point, right?!

Xia Han's questioning gaze made Lu Zhiyao's heart sink slightly, and he smiled perfunctorily, and said: "Many things are very complicated, and I can't explain it for a while, in short, there is no problem with your safety now, and I promised you that I will definitely do it." Stay here and come back if I have time. ”

Xia Han was silent for a long time after listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao's somewhat inconvenient arms. Q: "Hurt?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it'll be fine in a few days."

Lu Zhiyao was talking to Xia Han in the house, and I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly remembered Lin Yinan. I don't know where Lin Yinan went, Lu Zhiyao slowly stood up and walked out of the room, glanced at the empty courtyard, and sighed.

"You go back to the house, I'll walk alone." Lu Zhiyao looked back at Xia Han, rejected her kindness to accompany him, and walked forward, walking slowly in the silent and empty Xia Mansion.

Lin Yinan squinted his eyes slightly, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked at Lu Zhiyuan's back. Slowly sat up straight, stretched his waist, and when Xia Han returned to the room, he jumped off the roof and walked with Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao turned around and looked when he heard the footsteps, met Lin Yinan's gaze, and waited for him to catch up.

Lin Yinan stood in front of Lu Zhiyao, and her fingers gently pressed her unconsciously frowning eyebrows. "I thought that taking you to see Xia Han would make you feel better, but it doesn't seem to have any effect."

As soon as Lu Zhiyao wanted to say something, he heard Lin Yinan say again: "There is something wrong with you recently, especially when you encounter something related to Liu Yiyu and others, it is very obvious. ”

Lin Yinan didn't give Lu Zhiyao a chance to refute, and walked forward along the path. Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment and then followed his pace, feeling that Lin Yinan still had something to say to himself.

"I've always thought you're a smart person, but if you're smart, you'll be mistaken by your cleverness. What is Liu Yiyu in your eyes? Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao sideways and asked, "Do you still hate her?" ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Why do you hate her? Because of her and Lin Yixiang's affairs? Lin Yinan did not shy away from Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yixiang's past at all, and walked to the rockery in front, he jumped up and chose a place to sit down at random, and continued to ask: "But apart from hate, is there nothing else?" ”

"Yi Nan ......" Lu Zhiyao frowned, and he didn't want to mention the matter between himself and Lin Yixiang, especially from his mouth.

"Actually, I didn't feel any different when I came to Xia Mansion and was in other places, because I didn't get involved in the affairs of the Xia family. Maybe you feel bad about it, but that's the way it is, and on the contrary, I'm a little glad that so much has happened. Because it is because of these that I have you standing by my side today. ”

Lin Yinan's confession made Lu Zhiyao not know what to say for a while, he looked around and looked at the places where there were traces of fighting.

"There should have been deaths here, and there should have been deaths there." Lin Yinan's finger pointed casually, driving Lu Zhiyao's gaze to look. "Remember how you felt when you stood here, and then thank the people who made it possible for you to stand here in peace now, and then kill them to avenge your family, that's what you should do. Other than that, you don't have to have any other confusion. What you should do doesn't have to change because of me. ”

"Do you mean to say, let me kill Prince Luo?"

"I didn't say that." Lin Yinan smiled slightly and said, "If these words are heard by others, I am afraid that I will be hunted down." ”

As soon as the figure shifted, he returned to her side, a soft voice ringing in her ears.

"I just wanted to tell you that when you come back here and look at what you don't know what to do, what hurts you doesn't have to be bad. I can't save so many lives of the Xia family, but I will do my best to protect your future well. All you have to do is move forward, and the rest, it's not worth your hesitation. Xia Han is the same, I can protect her for a while, but I can't protect her for a lifetime. If she doesn't dare to set foot here again in her life, then even when it's over, she won't be able to live like before. ”

Lu Zhiyao kept his head down, then slowly took a step closer to him, lowered his head against his chest, and asked, "Do you have anyone you hate?" ”

"Of course, so when I don't know what to do, I will also go into the palace to have a look. But don't tell anyone about this, otherwise we will be sneaky when we think about it in the future. ”

Lin Yinan's words made the corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth slightly upturned, and he raised his hand to gently hug his body, Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth, but he never said anything.

The two stood quietly in place for a long time, until Lin Yinan whispered, "It's not too early, it's time for us to go home." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath and stood up straight. looked at Lin Yinan with a smile like a flower, and there was no longer the gloom in his eyes that had lasted for the past few days. "I'm in a good mood today, how about I cook it myself?"

"You'd better forget it."

Lu Zhiyao's forehead was gently pushed by Lin Yinan's hand, and his body also took a step back.

"Spare me."

Lin Yinan's unceremonious blow made Lu Zhiyao pout, and the two left Xuncheng after saying goodbye to Xia Han and returned to the capital. Walking down the busy streets, you don't have to worry about being followed because of your identity. deliberately went around in a big circle, and the two of them entered the realm of the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

"Master, you're back." As soon as Ling Yi saw Lin Yinan, he immediately greeted him and said, "The fourth prince sent someone over today. ”

"Oh? What did you say? Lin Yinan ripped off the mask on his face, a little surprised that Lin Yinuo would take the initiative to find himself.

"It wasn't revealed, but the man left after learning that you weren't there."

Lin Yinuo and himself have never had any intersection before, even when Lin Yinan lived in the palace, the opportunities for the two to meet were only a handful. What was it that made him think of coming to him?

"I know, is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

Ling Yi's footsteps automatically stopped when Lin Yinan pushed open the door of the study. Lin Yinan was about to close the door with his backhand, but suddenly remembered something, looked back at Ling Yi with a solemn expression, and instructed: "By the way, give me a good look at Madame, don't let her go to the kitchen." ”

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Lin Yinan sat behind the table, there was no other person's sight around him, and his eyes returned to their usual coldness. The day passed quickly, and after dark, Lin Yinan left the Eight Emperors' Mansion and came to the palace. Easily found Lin Yinuo's residence, looking at Lin Yinuo's surprised expression when he saw him, Lin Yinan smiled and said, "I heard that the fourth brother sent someone to my house today, so I came here in order not to let you run again." ”

Lin Yinuo smiled uncomfortably, he was indeed looking for Lin Yinan to have something, but he didn't expect Lin Yinan to come over to see him in person.
