Lu Yuanzheng listened to Lu Zhiyao's affirmative reply, and his heart hanging in mid-air finally landed safely. But he still doesn't understand, isn't he going to choose the crown princess? How did it get to the Eighth Prince?

Lu Yuanzheng asked what he thought, Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look around, and asked, "Dad, can we go to the study to talk?" ”

Lu Yuanzheng also realized his impatience, so he nodded and led Lu Zhiyao into the study. Listening to Lu Zhiyao tell the ins and outs, Lu Yuanzheng fell silent.

"Dad, my daughter has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng solemnly, and after Lu Yuanzheng signaled that she had something to say, Lu Zhiyao said cautiously: "Doesn't Dad think it's suspicious?" The crown prince and the eighth prince are mortal enemies, how can they really think about the eighth prince. Push me to the side of the Eighth Prince, what does the prince want to do? Help dad make decisions? Give Dad a dismount? Embarrass Dad? ”

"Hey." Lu Yuanzheng sighed heavily, what Lu Zhiyao said was exactly what he was worried about. Lin Yichen and Lin Yixiang suddenly made such a move, which really caught him off guard. "But I've already negotiated with the Seven Princes before, why did they change their minds again?"

"Dad has already promised the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince?!" Lu Zhiyao was shocked, and soon thought of another possibility, a possibility that made him even more dangerous.

Lu Zhiyao suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked at Lu Yuanzheng with a calm expression, and said, "Dad, I think it's time for you to make a decision, decide whose side to stand on, not just want to pretend to be superficial like being forced by the Seventh Prince." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yuanzheng's heart was already in a mess, and he could only follow Lu Zhiyao's train of thought at this time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the crown prince should want to arrange for me to be a traitor to the eighth prince."

Lin Yichen's move, Lu Zhiyao had to applaud. He not only showed his concern for Lin Yinan in front of the emperor, but also secretly helped Lu Yuanzheng make a decision that Lu Yuanzheng would never be able to do on his own. Today in the back garden, although Lin Yichen said those words offended the Ye family, he still had other ways to solve it, didn't he? This time the crown princess was chosen, and Lu Zhiqing should have gotten there. If Lu Zhiqing really went, would Lin Yichen really leave her behind?

In this way, the hardest thing to do is probably yourself.

"The crown prince should take his sister after a while, father, the crown prince and the eighth prince, have you figured out which side you want to stand on?"

Lu Yuanzheng was upset by Lu Zhiyao's words, and he wanted to angrily reprimand her for talking nonsense, but after thinking about it, what she said did make sense. knew that he had always underestimated Lu Zhiyao, and now Lu Yuanzheng no longer ignored Lu Zhiyao as before, but tentatively asked her opinion.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng's cautious appearance, and felt a little ironic in his heart. What does she say, does it really work? If Lu Yuanzheng was not stupid, he would definitely choose the prince. At that time, only she Lu Zhiyao is not a person inside and outside, and she will end up infamous wherever she helps.

Although the prince said that she was a lucky star on the surface today, he still knew about her rumors in his heart, and he believed it a little. When Lu Zhiyao thought of the reason why he was in such a field now, it was because of Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing, and he couldn't help but hate them a little more.

"Dad, my daughter's words can't decide my father's choice. The crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the only son of the queen, and he has many more chances to inherit the throne than the eighth prince. At this point, we have no other choice. It's the same with daughters, there is no choice. ”

When Lu Zhiyao spoke, the expression on his face was a little death-like, which made Lu Yuanzheng's heart a little uncomfortable. Either way, she's his daughter.

"You go back first, you're tired today, take a good rest, Dad will find you if there's anything."

Lu Zhiyao left Lu Yuanzheng and walked slowly back to his small courtyard. She was pointed out by the emperor to the eighth prince, Lin Yinan should know about it soon...... I wonder if he will come to settle accounts with him at that time......

Lu Zhiyao's worries were not unreasonable, in fact, when she had just left the palace, Lin Yinan had already received the news.

Lin Yinan was lying on the hammock in the courtyard, slightly closing his eyes and enjoying the sunshine. After listening to the news brought back by Ling Yi, Lin Yinan was silent for a long time and suddenly smiled.

Lin Yinan opened his eyes and looked at Ling Yi, took Ling Yi's worried expression in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master, that Lu Zhiyao, I think it's better to find time to get rid of it." Lu Zhiyao came to find Lin Yinan last night, and Ling Yi also knew about it. He always felt that that woman was not ordinary.

"Why?" Lin Yinan asked softly, as if he didn't understand Ling Yi's thoughts.

"Doesn't the master think that she was sent by the prince?" Ling Yi frowned, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Do you think she can kill me?" Lin Yinan asked with a light smile, looking at Ling Yi's slightly stunned expression, Lin Yinan didn't care about this matter. "If Lu Zhiyao deliberately wants to get close to me, it is possible, because that Xia Han is still in my hands. But if Lu Zhiyao had a good communication with Lin Yichen and them before, I don't think it's possible. Lu Yuanzheng is not yet confused, and he wants to help Lin Yichen deal with me openly. I think it's true that today, the father and daughter were put together by Lin Yichen. ”

"But master, if that Lu Zhiyao really comes to our house, then your body ......"

"I can't die, it's not for her to be controlled by a woman. Lu Zhiyao's reputation is not good, even if Lin Yichen says so, the emperor will still have some scruples. Lu Zhiyao's name is a broom star, but too many people know it. He is still reluctant to let me die, and he is afraid that this 'broom star' will affect my body, whether he can really send Lu Zhiyao is still not necessarily. If I were to die, those old men would have lost their temper. ”

Lin Yinan adjusted a comfortable posture and continued to close his eyes to recuperate. "It's not us who should be in a hurry now, just wait and see what happens. If someone really sends it over, it will be accepted, and it is not a bad thing to have one more minion, and it would be good to be placed by your side like Xia Han. ”

Lin Yinan's words made Ling Yi dumbfounded, the emperor's concubine was a slave for herself?

Lin Yinan waved his hand and asked Ling Yi to retreat. After Ling Yi walked out of the courtyard, Lin Yinan slowly opened his eyes again.

He now really wants to know what Lu Dao will do. After all, she is a smart woman, who will she choose between herself and Lin Yichen?

After Lu Zhiyao came back from the palace, his status in the Prime Minister's Mansion was different from before. Lu Yuanzheng not only rewarded her with a new courtyard and a new maid, but even Ye Lianrong had to smile and talk when she saw Lu Zhiyao.

This change made many slaves not understand the real reason, because the emperor had not really issued an order to give Lu Zhiyao to the eighth prince, so this news is not well known. They only knew that Lu Dao Lu Zhiyao had entered the palace to choose the crown princess, and after coming back, the lord did not treat her like before, so everyone's hearts naturally thought that the prince might really be crooked and look at Lu Zhiyao.

Wherever the wind blows, running wherever it has always been the skill of these slaves, Lu Zhiyao looked at those slaves who were dedicated to himself one by one, and he could only smile without smiling. On this good day, she didn't know how many days she could live.

The minions didn't know the news in the palace, but it didn't mean that Ye Lianrong didn't know. Ye Zhihua sent someone to inform Ye Lianrong early in the morning, although Ye Lianrong didn't hear some details, but she still understood the general situation of the matter.

Ye Lianrong clenched her fists indignantly, just like Lu Zhiyao thought at the time, Ye Lianrong was very dissatisfied with the prince's practice of holding Lu Zhiyao and stepping on herself. In other words, it poked her wounds!

Doesn't she want to have a son? Doesn't she want to solidify her position?

The more Ye Lianrong thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she simply sent the fire to her uncompetitive daughter. Lu Zhiqing listened to Ye Lianrong's scolding, frowned in confusion, and asked, "Mother, what evil did you commit in broad daylight?" ”

"Useless stuff!"

Ye Lianrong patted Lu Zhiqing's back angrily, and Lu Zhiqing was really hurt and annoyed. "Mother, what are you doing!"

Lu Zhiqing was scolded and beaten for no reason, looking at Ye Lianrong with wide eyes, Lu Zhiqing guessed: "Is your father angry with you again?" ”

"You're embarrassed to say that Lu Zhiyao is about to become the Eighth Imperial Princess, look at you, what's the use of you!"

"Mother, what did you say?!" Lu Zhiqing amplified her voice and asked in surprise, "Really?" ”

"What's really fake, don't you see that your father is pleasing her now? Now there are more minions in her courtyard than there are us! Ye Lianrong was afraid and angry when she thought that Lu Zhiyao would take revenge on herself with the power of the Eighth Emperor in the future.

"Mother, what can we do in the future?" Lu Zhiqing suddenly ran out of ideas, and was as worried and scared as Ye Lianrong. Lu Zhiqing lowered her voice and asked, "Why don't we go to my grandfather and uncle and think of a way?" ”

Lu Zhiqing's words reminded Ye Lianrong that although her father was not the biggest official in the ministry, there were still many ministers in the court who had been promoted by him. If Lu Zhiyao really marries the Eighth Prince, then his daughter will have to find a good family.

"You wait for me at home, look at your face, how will you marry in the future!" Ye Lianrong got up and was about to go back to her parents' house, and after glancing at Lu Zhiqing's red and swollen face, Ye Lianrong secretly swallowed her anger into her stomach. Lu Zhiqing's illness is good and bad, and sometimes it is almost better, but it can't be said that it will suddenly recur because of it. She hadn't been out of the house for so many days, and it was impossible for the pollen to blow into the house. "I'll find a way to find you a doctor to take a look at your illness, remember not to go to Lu Zhiyao's trouble now, otherwise your father won't be able to spare you, do you hear?"
