Lu Zhiyao thought of a suitable person in her heart, but before she could think of a reason and a way to find that person, the other party took the initiative to find the door.

When he woke up the next day, Lu Zhiyao had been thinking about Ji Lu after eating a few bites of something briefly. If it weren't for Bai Lixuan and the three of them appearing in front of him in a panic, Lu Zhiyao probably wouldn't have walked out of the room.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiyao saw the expressions of the three of them and knew what was going on, stood up and asked suspiciously, after she heard Bai Lixuan whisper that Xia Han was gone, Lu Zhiyao's body was stunned.

"When? Hasn't she been with you all the time? Lu Zhiyao's heart was a little impatient, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people in front of him one by one, and Lu Zhiyao secretly told himself to stay calm. Do you know when she left? ”

"Mademoiselle said at dinner this morning that she had something to do and wouldn't let us go to her room to quarrel with her, so none of us dared to disturb her. I went to her room just now to call her for lunch, but after knocking on the door for a long time and there was no response, it felt wrong. Qingling sighed anxiously, "I've been living here for so long, and the young lady hasn't been out of the road once, and I don't know where the road has gone, if it is discovered by the prince's people, it will be over." ”

"It's not that easy, don't worry." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Qingling and said, "Didn't Xiao Han not go out for a long time when he was at home before, Lin Yichen is busy now, he doesn't have that free time to go around outside the palace, and there are probably not many people who can recognize Xiao Han." She shouldn't go far, let's look for it separately, and the three of you have to be careful, whether you find it or not, everyone will come back in an hour, understand? ”

"Understood." Bai Lixuan and the three nodded in unison, and then hurriedly left to find Xia Han's whereabouts. Lu Zhiyao left a note in the room, in case Ling Yi and the others were anxious when they came back and couldn't see her, and then they also strode out. Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong both went to investigate the affairs of the Qing Ying Kingdom, and Lan Ruoyan was still in the Yamen at this time, so there were only a few of them in the house. was negligent for a while, and he didn't even notice that Xia Han had gone out. Lu Zhiyao blamed himself in frustration, anxiously and carefully looking for Xia Han's figure.

An hour passed quickly in a hurry, and several people returned to the house one after another, looking at each other's uneasy and worried expressions, a little overwhelmed.

"I've found all the places I need to find, I'll go find Ruoya and ask her to help me figure out a way." Lu Zhiyao clenched his fists and made a decision in desperation. "It's not good for a few of you to show up all the time, but there are many more people who know you than Xiaohan."

Just when Lu Zhiyao was about to go to find Lan Ruoya, Xia Han returned to the front of several people. There was another person behind him.

Yin Jianli's appearance made Lu Zhiyao's hearts sink for several people, Lu Zhiyao pretended to look at Xia Han calmly, and after making sure that she was not injured, he signaled Bai Lixuan and the three people behind him not to act rashly.

"Eighth Imperial Princess, Lord Mu invites you to go to the palace." Yin Jianli glanced at Bai Lixuan and Liu Xisheng with cold eyes, and said to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, Xia Han was discovered by Lin Mubai, and it was no better than letting the Nangong family find out. At this juncture, I didn't expect this to happen. Lu Zhiyao thought about it and knew what questions Lin Mubai would ask himself later. Lin Mubai's grim face appeared in his mind, Lu Zhiyao nodded, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go with you and see the prince." ”

Lu Zhiyao was taken away by Yin Jianli, and Xia Han's feet went soft the moment the two of them walked out of the room. Bai Lixuan quickly held her up, frowned and asked, "Second Miss, where have you been?" ”

"I ......" Xia Han had tears in his eyes, and the whole person was still afraid. Don't talk about this yet, they won't do anything to their sister, right? ”

"Anyway, she is also the Eighth Imperial Concubine, so Lord Mu shouldn't embarrass her, right?" Qingling didn't even have the confidence to say this, they had never dealt with Lin Mubai, but I don't know how much Lu Dao had heard about Lin Mubai.

"This incident was caused by us, if the Eighth Emperor Concubine has a good one, we will not have the face to see the Eighth Emperor again." Bai Lixuan said with a solemn expression, "Xisheng, you go to the yamen and tell Miss Lan that the Eighth Imperial Concubine was taken away by Prince Mu." ”

"Okay, I'll go!"

Liu Xisheng hurriedly went out, cautiously came to the yamen, and stopped her immediately after Lan Ruoyan appeared, and told her what happened. Lan Ruoyan was stunned for a long time after listening to Liu Xisheng's words, and said with a slightly wrong face: "I know what to say, you go back first, I will find a way to do this." ”

Although Lan Ruoya said this, she didn't have any idea what to do. Coming to the vicinity of King Mu's mansion alone, Lan Ruoya looked at the mansion from a distance, hesitated again and again, and hurriedly walked over.

Lu Zhiyao was brought in front of Lin Mubai, walked into the room, watched Lin Mubai sitting on the chair and glanced at himself coldly, and then lowered his head to do his own thing. Lu Zhiyao stood for a long time before he heard him open his mouth and asked himself, "Don't you have anything to say to this king?" ”

Lu Zhiyao bit the corner of his lip and tried to organize the language. "Now that the prince has found out, then I have nothing to hide."

"Now, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide anything, right?" Lin Mubai looked up at Lu Zhiyao, who he hadn't seen for a few days, and said with a smile: "Lin Yinan also has a part in this matter, right?" ”

Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Now even if she takes everything on herself, this Lin Mubai will not believe it. It can't be a coincidence that he was able to catch Xia Han today.

Lin Mubai looked at Lu Zhiyao seriously, he wanted to see how bold the woman in front of him was, so that she would do such a ridiculous thing again and again.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Lin Mubai didn't mention the matter of the Xia family for the time being, but asked about the reason for Lu Zhiyao's return.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Mubai and replied frankly: "Because of my father." The Nangong family wanted to assassinate him, but I didn't feel at ease, so I came back early. ”

"You're really a dutiful daughter." Lin Mubai smiled softly, his eyebrows full of mockery. But he didn't have a trace of surprise on what Lu Zhiyao said, obviously he had already known that Nangong Nuo'er had made a move on Lu Yuanzheng.

"How much do you know about the recent events in the capital?"

"I know it all." Lu Zhiyao clenched his fists, and said tensively: "What are those people who will die, who is the ghost, where the prisoner is now, I know everything." I wonder if the prince is interested in listening? ”

Lin Mubai didn't say anything, and after Lu Zhiyao paused, he continued. "Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan were killed by me, they killed so many innocent people, they deserve to die."

"You're honest enough."

"In front of the prince, I can't confess if I want to, I still want to save this life and live a few more years." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, half serious and half jokingly said: "When I came back this time, I wanted to find a time to visit the prince, but unfortunately I have been entangled in things, and I didn't expect to meet the prince again, it will be in this situation." ”

"Visit? If you don't say it so well, even if you really come to find this king, there must be nothing good. ”

Lin Mubai said Lu Zhiyao's mind in one sentence, which made Lu Zhiyao feel a little weak. "Lord Wang." Lu Zhiyao swallowed his saliva and spoke again: "I know that you brought me here today because of Xia Han's matter. Hundreds of members of the Xia family died tragically, leaving only them alive, begging the prince to give them a way to live, and not to pursue this matter again. I will bear any responsibility alone. ”

"Can you afford it?" Lin Mubai spoke in a gloomy tone, feeling that Lu Zhiyao was a little self-conscious. "Do you know that keeping them by their side means that you are going against whom?"

"Nangong family, queen, prince." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, and quickly thought about whether to tell the matter of the Qing Netherworld, maybe Lin Mubai had already known the Tao. Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Lin Mubai to have the heart to protect his family and the country and be loyal to the emperor, but if the Qing soldiers attacked, his life would definitely not be as free as now, right?

"Lord Wang, Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan were used, and the people of the Qingying Kingdom who used the two of them are now in the Nangong Mansion." Lu Zhiyao was a little broken, and told everything in one go. "Those two people took the initiative to find Nangong Lingfeng, I think, it must not be an ordinary thing for General Nangong to take in two people from the Qing Netherworld, right?"

Nangong Ling Feng usually gave people the impression that he hated those people in the Qing Netherworld so much that he wanted to kill them all. Therefore, if the people of the Qing Netherworld stay in his mansion, even if they say it, no one will believe it.

"So what? What are you going to do? Want to go into Nangong Mansion to find out? Lin Mubai touched the teacup on the table in his hand, looked at Lu Zhiyao's eyes were indifferent, and he stood there with a calm expression without speaking, Lin Mubai suddenly slammed his force, and the teacup in his hand was already in pieces.

Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Lin Mubai to suddenly make a move on himself and dodge quickly, but he was still cut in the face by the fragments.

A blood stain appeared on Lu Zhiyao's face, Lin Mubai still sat there leisurely and looked at her, watching Lu Zhiyao raise his hand to wipe the blood droplet, he asked jokingly: "Just by you, you also want to go to Nangong Lingfeng to arrest people?" What do you think is that Nangong Mansion? Or do you think that even if you are caught by Nangong Lingfeng, Lin Yinan's kid will come back to save you? ”

Lin Mubai slowly stood up and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao was shocked by the cold air on his body, and reflexively took a step back, but Lin Mubai pinched his chin hard.
