Lu Zhiyao's casual glance at Liu Yiyu made Liu Yiyu's heart feel a little empty. thought that she had provoked the eighth princess who was now in the limelight when they met for the first time, Liu Yiyu was guessing what made her look uncomfortable, but Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to talk to her.

"This should be Liu Yiyu, the daughter of the Liu family, right?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Liu Yiyu with a smile, and he didn't have the domineering posture that he had just talked to Nangong Nuo'er. Seeing Liu Yiyu nodding slowly, listening to her talk to herself in the voice she had heard countless times, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that it was really a good thing that God could let her continue to live in this world with a different identity.

"I've heard your name mentioned before, and when I saw it today, it was just as gentle and lovely as she said." After Lu Zhiyao looked at Liu Yiyu carefully, he said: "I still have some things today, if there is a chance in the future, let's sit down and talk." ”

Lu Zhiyao's appreciation was just politeness in Liu Yiyu's ears. How many pounds and taels he has, Liu Yiyu knows better than anyone else. What's more, she has not been in the country of Charai for many months, who would mention herself to the dignified Eighth Imperial Concubine and praise herself for being gentle and lovely?

Liu Yiyu smiled, bent over to see Lu Zhiyao and Lin Ruoxue away, and then looked at Nangong Nuo'er staring at her unhappy expression, a little embarrassed for a while.

Lu Zhiyao and Nangong Nuo'er looked at each other unpleasantly, and each other's attitude was too obvious, I don't know what Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang, a pair of brothers, would be like when they met in the middle.

Lu Zhiyao took Lin Ruoxue and continued to walk forward, and when she was already far away from Nangong Nuo'er and the others, she heard Lin Ruoxue ask herself in a low voice: "Eighth sister-in-law, that person is the envoy of the Qing Netherworld, right, how can the two of them be together." ”

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Ruoxue, was silent for a long time, and said: "Liu Yiyu is originally from the Xia Lai Kingdom, if I am not mistaken, she finally came back this time, and she will not want to leave again, unless she has now obtained the status she wants in the Qing Ying Kingdom, but this is very unlikely." ”

Lu Zhiyao still remembered that time when Lin Yinan took himself to the Qing Netherworld to see the lively things, with the atmosphere of the Qing Netherworld, a powerless woman like Liu Yiyu is unlikely to be liked by the emperor, or the royal family and nobles, let alone that she is a person from the Xia Lai country with a suspicious identity.

"Both of them may want to get something out of each other, who knows." Lu Zhiyao smiled briskly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised her head and Lin Ruoxue's eyes, she said slowly: "There are some things that you will understand later." ”

Lin Ruoxue frowned, not understanding what Lu Zhiyao meant. Fortunately, she soon saw Zi Ning Frost and forgot about it.

When Zi Ningshuang saw Lin Ruoxue and Lu Zhiyao, her cold face softened a little.

Lu Zhiyao was a little surprised when he saw another person in the room, he didn't expect to meet Yin Jianli here today.

"It just so happens that I need your help." Lu Zhiyao stepped forward in two steps and walked in front of Yin Jianli. was about to continue, but was suddenly grabbed by Zi Ningshuang's hand.

Lu Zhiyao watched in confusion as Zi Ningshuang made a move to make her change the topic, and did so.

"Xiaoxue suddenly said that she missed her mother today, and she had to take her into the palace to have a look. I guess she didn't dare to come back by herself, for fear that she would get into trouble again and wouldn't be able to get out of this palace. ”

Zi Ningshuang glanced at Lin Ruoxue with doting eyes, and then Lu Zhiyao's words continued. Several people chatted absentmindedly for a while, and Lu Zhiyao heard Zi Ningshuang say again: "Okay." ”

"What does the Eighth Imperial Concubine have for the servants to do?" Yin Jianli asked in a low voice when he saw Zi Ningshuang say this.

"Forget it, I'll go to the palace to find you later."

Lu Zhiyao originally wanted to talk to Yin Jianli about Jiang Wei, but when he thought that it seemed a little inappropriate here, he changed his words.

Zi Ningshuang looked at the two of them, took Lin Ruoxue's hand and walked out. "I'll take Xiaoxue to the yard to talk for a while, no one will disturb me in the inner room, and I'll come out after I finish."

Lu Zhiyao watched Zi Ningshuang walk out of the room with strange eyes, and when only she and Yin Jianli were left, Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice, "Concubine Ning really knows martial arts?" ”

"Don't you know the way? Concubine Ning's martial arts are not lower than that of the prince. Someone must have been eavesdropping outside, but you and I didn't notice. ”

Lu Zhiyao suppressed the shock in his heart, and hurriedly told Yin Jianli about the matter. Yin Jianli frowned the whole way, and only after Lu Zhiyao had finished saying everything did he ask, "What is the plan of the Eighth Prince?" ”

"It's nothing to do with him, it's what I want to do, there's a problem?"

"Nope."

Lu Zhiyao has a lot of ghost ideas, which is something that Yin Jian has particularly experienced in recent times. But he still didn't expect that she would want to deal with Jiang Wei in this way and solve the matter of the Beauty Pavilion.

"I'll go to Jiang Wei when I turn around, and I'll go to the Eight Emperors Mansion to tell you if there's news."

After Lu Zhiyao finished explaining, Yin Jianli strode away. Lu Zhiyao walked to the courtyard, looked at the mother and daughter who were sitting there talking, and sighed secretly.

Yin Jianli will come here, it must be for Lin Ruoxue's business. I don't know how the concubine and the prince talked to the emperor.

Zi Ningshuang saw Lu Zhiyao, pointed to the stool beside him, and said, "Come and sit." ”

"Mother, the eighth sister-in-law can also play the piano, and let her play it to you when I have time." Lin Ruoxue said to Zi Ningshuang as if offering a treasure: "The Eight Emperors' Mansion is particularly interesting, if only you could leave the palace." ”

"Since your eighth sister-in-law is good at everything, why don't you learn from her?" A smile flashed in Zi Ningshuang's eyes, "The piano I gave you at the beginning, whether it was burned by you with a fire, or was it thrown in a corner and buried by dust, I don't know, you still dare to mention playing the piano with me?" ”

"Learning the piano is really boring, no wonder I am." Lin Ruoxue still felt pain when she remembered the memories of being forced to learn the piano and sitting motionless for several hours every day. "Why does the eighth sister-in-law learn to play the piano? Did the Prime Minister force you in the first place? ”

Zi Ningshuang and Lin Ruoxue's eyes fell on Lu Zhiyao's body, Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, my father asked me to learn." ”

At that time, because she had a big accident, Xia Zhenkun no longer allowed her to follow her to learn martial arts, and gave an order that no one in Xia Mansion was allowed to accompany her to practice martial arts. She was very sad at that time, but fortunately, her mother found a way to let her learn something that Xia Zhenkun liked, and then found Xia to secretly teach her martial arts.

Lu Zhiyao now looked at Lin Ruoxue and Zi Ningshuang's coquettish appearance, and unconsciously remembered his mother, the person who always doesn't talk much, but will be her backer at any time, as long as she has something she wants to do, she will definitely find a way to let her do it. Otherwise, she didn't have the courage to disobey Xia Zhenkun's words and secretly continue to practice martial arts.

"Niangniang, is there a place I can help with Xiaoxue's affairs?"

Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a long time, but still asked.

Zi Ningshuang looked at Lu Zhiyao for a while, and smiled, "No, I will always have a way." ”

Zi Ningshuang's smile was faint, and it was soon gone. But Lu Zhiyao looked at her and said this, and he already knew in his heart that Lin Ruoxue would be fine this time.

Lin Ruoxue pestered the purple condensation frost for two hours, and then followed Lu Zhiyao. Zi Ningshuang stared at the backs of the two of them walking away, remembering a few words Lin Mubai had said.

For Lu Zhiyao, Zi Ningshuang has always been not very at ease. There are too many suspicious things about her, but Lin Mubai is so sure that she can send Lin Ruoxue to the Eight Emperors' Mansion. Now that he sees Xiaoxue living so happily in the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Zi Ningshuang's hanging heart can finally land.

Before Lu Zhiyao and the others could get out of the palace, they were stopped. Listening to the eunuch in front of him, the emperor wanted to meet the princess. Lu Zhiyao and the uneasy Lin Ruoxue glanced at each other and said, "The princess hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and she should go to see her." ”

Now even if they want to leave, they can't do it, Lu Zhiyao has no other choice than to accompany Lin Ruoxue to see the emperor. Along the way, Lu Zhiyao sighed in his heart, the emperor's eyeliner is really everywhere, I wonder if the person who overheard them in Zining Shuang before was also the emperor's person?

When he arrived at the place where Lin Yunlong was, Lu Zhiyao stood outside the door and didn't go in. But after a while, she was invited in by Lin Yunlong.

Walking into the room, Lu Zhiyao hurriedly smiled and asked the emperor to say goodbye.

Lin Yunlong has been impressed by Lu Zhiyao since he said those words to him when he entered the palace last time. asked her about Lin Ruoxue, and her calm tone was really like a father, talking to others about his daughter.

Lu Zhiyao politely and cautiously answered Lin Yunlong's question, and after Lin Yunlong's words changed and mentioned the Qing Netherworld, Lu Zhiyao had an illusion in a trance. Maybe what the emperor really wants to see today is not Lin Ruoxue, but himself.

"I've been busy with the envoy of the Qing Netherworld Kingdom to Beijing recently, that Liu Yiyu, have you been in contact with it before?"

"Back to the emperor, no." Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and answered Lin Yunlong's question. "But I've heard this name mentioned before, I heard that Liu Yiyu had a good relationship with Xia Yao before, if the emperor really wants to know about her, it's better to ask Prince Luo, maybe he knows more than others."

"How do you know that Xia Yao has a good relationship with her?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are few people in the capital who haven't heard of the name Xia Yao, even if she doesn't want to hear about it, she usually comes out of her ears a few words, there is no way."

Lu Zhiyao said this without blushing and without a heartbeat, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Lin Yunlong say anything more. Slowly raised his eyes to look, only to see Lin Yunlong leaning on the back of the chair, looking at her intently.

"Liu Yiyu won't leave again this time, help me pay more attention, and if there is anything wrong, I will immediately enter the palace to report."

Lu Zhiyao's body stiffened, and he couldn't figure out why Lin Yunlong wanted to hand over this kind of task to himself. He suspected that Liu Yiyu was excusable, but finding himself to spy on Liu Yiyu was a little wrong, right? Lu Zhiyao didn't think that the emperor's trust in her had reached such a point. So what exactly is the reason for him to find himself?
