Chapter 18 On the Eight Princes' Mansion
Lu Zhiqing was trembling by Lu Zhiyao's anger, and wanted to hit Lu Zhiyao several times, but Lu Zhiyao flashed over.
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come over here and help me beat her! Lu Zhiqing was furious, turned around and shouted loudly at Yuechan.
"Little, Miss......" Yuechan looked at Lu Zhiqing's crazy appearance, and felt a little timid in her heart. If the master comes back and knows that I will do it, he will definitely not spare my ......"
"Rubbish!"
Yuechan didn't dare to get started, which made Lu Zhiqing feel that she had raised a dog for nothing. But Yuechan's worries are not unreasonable. The second lady beats the eldest lady, no matter what, the master will not really deal with the second miss. But once she, a slave, beats the eldest lady, it is not as simple as just reprimanding a few words. Although Yuechan didn't want to admit that Lu Zhiyao was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she couldn't help it when she saw that the master had spoiled her in the past few days.
Lu Zhiqing couldn't beat Lu Zhiyao, so she became more and more angry, and she simply ran to Lu Zhiyao's room and made a big fuss. threw all those new rewards from Lu Yuanzheng to the ground, Lu Zhiqing's unreasonable approach made Lu Zhiyao more and more calm.
Yudie stood in the corner of the courtyard and watched the scene without saying a word. She didn't understand, what was the reason why Lu Zhiyao was so angry with Lu Zhiqing? If you just want the master to punish the second lady, it's enough to make a fuss like this, isn't it?
Wanyue ran all the way to Lu Yuanzheng's courtyard, but did not see Lu Yuanzheng's figure. When she was dizzy, Wanyue saw the minion who had been following Lu Yuanzheng all along, and hurriedly ran over to stop him.
"Where has the master gone?" Wan Yue asked breathlessly.
"Who are you?" The man glanced at Wanyue suspiciously, but he didn't know her. "What are you looking for?"
"Ask so much for what! Hurry up and tell me where my lord has gone! Wanyue knew that she didn't have time to talk nonsense to him, and remembered that before leaving, Lu Zhiyao explained that she must bring the master back, and Wanyue shouted at the man: "Can you take responsibility for delaying time and causing trouble!?" ”
Kill someone?!
As soon as the man saw the anxious look on Wanyue's face, and then listened to her words, he was suddenly frightened by her. After thinking about it, the man also said a little anxiously: "The master has already gone out, it should be in the mansion of the Eighth Prince." ”
"On the Eight Princes' Mansion?" When Wan Yue heard him say this, she was dumbfounded. How do you find yourself? But thinking about Lu Zhiyao and Yudie, who were now being bullied by Lu Zhiqing, Wanyue's eyes closed, her heart was horizontal, and she turned around and ran away.
She knows the Tao in the mansion of the Eighth Prince, or in other words, there is no one in the capital who does not know the Tao. Wanyue's mind went blank and ran straight to her destination. But what should I say when I ran to the place, Wanyue had no thoughts.
The wind whistled in his ears, and Wanyue ran to the place desperately. Breathing heavily, Wanyue raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, looked at the guards who were staring at her at the door, Wanyue swallowed her saliva, walked over, and asked, "May I ask if our master is here?" ”
"Your lord?" The two guards looked at each other, then looked at Wanyue again, and asked, "Who is your master?" ”
"Prime Minister!! Wanyue pulled her neck and shouted to the two **: "Our master is the prime minister!! Is he here? Hurry up, something is wrong with our family! ”
As soon as the two heard that Wanyue was looking for Lu Yuanzheng, and they were so anxious that something had happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they hurriedly took Wanyue into the mansion and walked in the direction where Lu Yuanzheng was.
Lu Yuanzheng had just arrived here for a short time, he had been outside for a long time, and he decided to come to the Eighth Prince's place in the end. Not for anything else, just for Lan Ruoya here.
Lan Ruoya is a well-known catcher, and she is also the person responsible for arresting the flower thief Chu Ziqian. Lu Yuanzheng could have gone to the Criminal Department to find Lan Ruoya, but unfortunately it was a coincidence that he caught up with Lan Ruoyan to rest when she was sick, so Lu Yuanzheng had to bite the bullet and go to the Eighth Prince.
Everyone knows that Lan Ruoyan is a subordinate of the Eighth Prince, and if she is not in the Criminal Department on weekdays, she must be here. Everyone also knows that the eighth prince is a thorn in the side of the crown prince, and he is the person who has the most supporters besides the prince. Therefore, Lu Yuanzheng chose to come at this time, and he also made a lot of determination.
The flower thief Chu Ziqian, I heard that he likes to steal people who have become relatives or have a marriage contract. Seeing that Lu Zhiyao was about to enter the palace to choose the crown princess, Lu Yuanzheng didn't want to make any trouble at this time. Otherwise, when the time comes, he really won't be able to lose enough brains.
The arrival of Lu Yuanzheng not only made Lan Ruoya not expect, but also made Lin Yinan unexpected. Lin Yinan looked at Lu Yuanzheng who walked in front of him with his head down, gave Lan Ruoya a look without a trace, and then asked, "Why did Xiangye remember to come to me?" Can I help you? ”
"Back to the Eighth Prince, Weichen has something to do to find Miss Lan."
"Looking for me?" Lan Ruoya's expression was stunned, and she asked puzzledly, "Is something wrong?" ”
When Lu Yuanzheng heard Lan Ruoya's question, he could only sigh secretly, and tried his best to ask about Chu Ziqian. "Miss Lan, I heard that Chu Ziqian's case has already been handed over to you, right? Can the Blue Maiden know the thief's whereabouts? Has he already come to the capital? ”
Dignified Prime Minister, what is the matter of asking a flower thief?
Lan Ruoya looked at Lu Yuanzheng curiously, and did not avoid his question. She nodded and said, "That's right, this case is indeed in my hands, and there is news that Chu Ziqian has indeed come to the capital recently." But Xiangye, how do you know the way? Only a few people know about this. ”
Lan Ruoya's words made Lu Yuanzheng's heart suddenly rise with anger, originally he was still wondering if Ye Lianrong was really wronged, but now...... Lu Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly at Lan Ruoyan and explained, "It's nothing, I just heard that other ministers mentioned this person, so I thought about asking Miss Lan." After all, I have two daughters at home, and I ......."
Lu Yuanzheng said again and again, so that Lan Ruoya understood what he meant. "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to catch this thief. If you are worried about the two daughters of the house, I will send more people to inspect the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the next few days. However, according to Chu Ziqian's consistent style, he should not be able to do anything to a woman who has not left the cabinet. ”
"Then there's Miss Laulan."
Lu Yuanzheng and Lan Ruoyan were talking, and Lin Yinan was listening attentively. But for Lu Yuanzheng's rhetoric, Lin Yinan didn't believe it. Which minister would be so bored and suddenly mention Chu Ziqian to him? Even if he was really worried about the two daughters in the family, he shouldn't have chosen to come to himself at this time. If Aya will go back to the Criminal Department after a few days of rest, Lu Yuanzheng can wait a little longer and go directly to the Criminal Department to find her, right? Lin Yixiang had just approached Lu Yuanzheng, and it was no secret that he had just approached Lu Yuanzheng. Lu Yuanzheng is now running to come here by himself, I don't know what Lu Dao would think if he was known by Lin Yixiang and Lin Yichen?
Lu Yuanzheng was talking to Lan Ruoya in a low voice, and just as he was thinking about how to find a reason to leave, someone suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Master, this person said that he was looking for Xiangye."
A few people followed the voice and saw the guards and the sweaty Wanyue beside him. Wan Yue's eyes lit up the moment she saw Lu Yuanzheng, but then she was a little depressed. I've been delayed for so long, the second miss may have already finished the trouble, right?!
"What are you doing here?" Lu Yuanzheng frowned and got up, looked at Xuanyue and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Master, it's not good, Miss has an accident, you can go back with me and take a look." Wanyue's brain was hot, and she said to Lu Yuanzheng without thinking: "I can't help but find you, it's too late!" ”
Lu Yuanzheng listened to Wanyue's words, and his heart sank suddenly. Taking two steps forward and walking to Xuanyue's side, Lu Yuanzheng asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Something happened to Zhiyao? ”
"Hmmm! Something happened! Xuan Yue nodded heavily, making Lu Yuanzheng even more worried. Looking back at Lan Ruoya and Lin Yinan over there, Lu Yuanzheng said with a solemn expression: "Eighth Prince, if there is something in Weichen's family, he will leave first, and come to visit another day." ”
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Yuanzheng thoughtfully, and after he took two steps, Lin Yinan suddenly stopped him. "Wait." Looking at the incomprehensible gaze of the land expedition, Lin Yinan smiled slightly and said, "I'll go with you." It just so happens that I'm also looking for your daughter. ”
"Finding, looking for my daughter?" Lu Yuanzheng gasped, didn't understand what Lin Yinan's words meant, and could only ask reflexively.
"That's right, looking for your eldest daughter." Lin Yinan gave Lu Yuanzheng a positive answer, and then walked forward. "What are you doing? Didn't you say that it was too late to do so? ”
Lu Zhiyao made Lu Zhiqing angry, arguing and scolding in her courtyard. tried to hit her several times, but she dodged her away. When Yuechan wanted to persuade Lu Zhiqing to leave, Lu Zhiyao deliberately said something to make Lu Zhiqing so angry that her thoughts were disordered, and she wanted to be eaten alive. Over and over again, Lu Zhiqing dropped everything that could be dropped, but he still couldn't hit Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao saw that a long time had passed, and he no longer had any hope for Xuanyue. There are more and more people running outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, even if Lu Zhiqing is no longer unreasonable, he should know that it is time to stop at this time.
Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards Lu Zhiqing. Things have to end, it's so big that it's always strange if you don't get beaten. It's a pity that I have wronged my face, and I am going to be slapped again.
Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao's expression and took the initiative to walk towards Lu Zhiqing with an indifferent expression, and after her eyes flashed, she hurriedly followed.
"Sister, it's almost done." Lu Zhiyao stood firmly in front of Lu Zhiqing and said, "After smashing so many things, can't you dissipate your anger?" ”
"Humph!" Lu Zhiqing snorted coldly, and he was tired. failed to hit Lu Zhiyao several times, and Lu Zhiqing didn't bother to do it again. "Yuechan, let's go."
"Don't, sister, if you don't lose your breath, just hit me twice. It really affects your condition, and my sister can't help it. ”
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Lu Zhiqing said according to Lu Zhiyao's words, turned around quickly, and waved it at Lu Zhiyao's face with a very fast movement, no, Lu Zhiyao didn't dodge or dodge this time, so obediently let her fight.
