Chapter 18: Murderous Intent

Ready to go, Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan out of the city. Sitting in the carriage and looking at Lin Yinan's calm eyes, Lu Zhiyao didn't think that this trip would be very easy. And she still doesn't understand something, Lin Yinan left this time, and he must be going to do something for the emperor. The Nangong family and the crown prince have different intentions, and the emperor will not notice it and will not be indifferent. However, why would the emperor agree to Lin Yinan taking him with him? Also, if the emperor really abolished the crown prince, and he didn't like Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang, which prince would the throne pass to?

"What do you want to ask?"

Lin Yinan has been staring at Lu Zhiyao for a while, and after opening the curtain and looking at the scenery outside, the lines on Lin Yinan's face have softened a little after making sure that he has left the capital.

"How did you tell the emperor that he agreed to let you take me away?" Lu Zhiyao tilted his head to look at him and asked in a low voice.

"He didn't say he agreed, but he didn't say he didn't agree." Lin Yinan leaned forward slightly, approaching Lu Zhiyao. The two looked at each other at close range, Lin Yinan looked at the haze that flashed in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and asked with a smile: "Let's come back this time, can we bring one more person?" ”

Lu Zhiyao didn't understand the meaning of his words, but when Lin Yinan's hand brushed her abdomen with deep meaning, even if she couldn't think about it, she couldn't do it.

"You're kidding me again." Lu Zhiyao frowned and knocked off Lin Yinan's hand, they came out this time, it was not certain whether they could go back safely, but he still had the heart to think about other things.

"Jokes?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, but he didn't continue the topic with her, but relaxed his muscles a little lazily, and then asked Lu Zhiyao, "Do you want to go out and ride a horse to breathe?" ”

"Forget it." Lu Zhiyao shook his head hesitantly, there were always people from the emperor around them, she didn't want to show so much in front of outsiders, it was not good for herself and him.

Lin Yinan saw her worry, pointed his index finger between her eyebrows, and sighed lightly: "There are always so many thoughts. ”

Lin Yinan stopped the groom and went out alone, and the space in the carriage suddenly became a lot larger, and Lu Zhiyao sat down where he was just sitting, and there seemed to be a unique smell of him in the air.

Lu Zhiyao leaned his head lightly on the carriage, and his hand slowly touched the short knife on his waist. She had just left the capital, and she already had a faint feeling of unease. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if something happens to the two of them outside, when they return to the capital, they will not be able to tell, right?

In the palace, after Nangong Nuo'er met Nangong Liuxi, she went straight to the racecourse. Seeing the prince standing there from a distance, Nangong Nuo'er strode over, met Lin Yichen's gaze, and asked with a smile: "The prince seems to be in a good mood today?" ”

"You've just arrived, so you can tell I'm in a good mood."

"Oh? Is that in a bad mood? Nangong Nuo'er looked at the horse behind Lin Yichen, and her eyes showed love.

"This won't work, you go to the stables and pick one yourself." Lin Yichen saw Nangong Nuo'er's idea at a glance, interrupted her thoughts, and looked at her back as she snorted coldly and ran to lead the horse, Lin Yichen jumped on the horse with a wry smile. After waiting for Nangong Nuo'er to come back, the two rode forward slowly.

"How did you come up with the idea of marrying the seventh?" Away from the crowd, Lin Yichen turned his head to look at Nangong Nuo'er and asked.

"I've always wanted to marry him." Nangong Nuo'er replied calmly: "Otherwise, you say, looking at the entire palace, who else is better than him?" If I want to marry Nangong Nuo'er, I will marry the best man, but it's a pity that you can't, otherwise I will marry you. ”

"Fortunately, otherwise I can't stand your aunt's temper." Lin Yichen smiled luckily, causing Nangong Nuo'er to roll his eyes. "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me?"

"Let me ask you, are you familiar with Lu Zhiyao?" Nangong Nuo'er didn't procrastinate, and asked directly.

"Lu Zhiyao?" Lin Yichen thought about it and frowned suspiciously. "Isn't that the one from the Prime Minister's house? How decent, I remembered her. ”

"I always feel that this woman is unusual, I asked around but I didn't hear anything useful, how did she hook up with Lin Yinan?"

Nangong Nuo'er's wording was not good, Lin Yichen followed her words and thought about it, it seemed that the two of them could "hook up" together, or they threaded the lead by themselves. If it weren't for Lu Zhiyao's entry into the palace, his proposal, maybe these two people wouldn't be able to go today.

"Why is it not an ordinary law, let's hear it."

"Maybe it's my delusion, I just think this woman shouldn't be as easy to deal with as you think. She didn't have the slightest fear of me, the daughter of the Nangong family. The posture that I was talking to was a little familiar. ”

"Did you remember Xia Yao coming?" Lin Yichen chuckled and looked at Nangong Nuo'er, "You can't have been away from the capital for too long, so everyone looks like the woman who once competed with you, right?" ”

"Don't say it, it's really like it!" When Nangong Nuo'er heard Lin Yichen say this, she suddenly remembered when that feeling of déjà vu appeared, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice and asked Lin Yichen, "Is Xia Yao really dead?" ”

"If you are dead, I still sent someone to bury the body, and there will be no mistake. This Lu Zhiyao is now the eighth princess, although his father has not given the eighth child any title, he will be a prince no matter how he says it later. You are the same princess as her, and now she has Prince Mu behind her, so it is understandable that she is not afraid of you. However, it would be better not to despise the people around Lin Yinan. The father and emperor sealed the seventh child this time, but left the eighth child, who is this to show it, we all know it in our hearts. ”

"Hasn't the emperor mentioned the matter of the prince yet? Could it be that he still wants to use Lin Yinan to contain you for a few years? ”

The crown prince was supposed to be the prince, but when the emperor was appointing the prince, he also made it clear to the ministers that his throne was not necessarily to be passed on to the prince. Therefore, over the years, the hearts of the queen and the crown prince have not been able to fall, and the rumors that Lin Yinan will inherit the throne will come out from time to time.

"In that case, let's kill him first." Nangong Nuo'er's eyes showed murderous aura and said to Lin Yichen.

"He? Who are you trying to talk about? Lin Yichen looked at Nangong Nuo'er, who had always been bold, with a solemn expression, and asked slowly.

"Brother Prince, who do you think I'm talking about?" Nangong Nuo'er smiled briskly and asked Lin Yichen rhetorically. "Lin Yinan left Beijing this time, do you know what he is doing for him?"

I don't know what to do, but I heard that he still uses the old excuse, saying that he is unwell and wants to go out to cultivate. But none of us know about his condition. The queen mother said that he was highly poisoned when he was a child, and no one can say whether he is good or not now. If the rumors are true, then it would be too interesting for the father to use him, a sick man, to contain us. If the rumors are not true, then ......"

"Whether it's true or not, he's the biggest obstacle in front of you right now. My dad is coming back soon, aren't you going to finish this time? Lin Yinan left with Lu Zhiyao, this was a great opportunity. Even if he dies outside, we can say that his illness has attacked, isn't it? There weren't so many doctors in the place he went. ”

Lin Yichen stared at Nangong Nuo'er for a moment, and then smiled silently. "The queen mother is right, it's a pity that you're not a man. I have already sent someone to follow Lin Yinan, as for whether I want to do it, I will wait and see. But this matter, you remember, don't let Lin Yixiang know. ”

"I understand." Nangong Nuo'er frowned, but she still agreed: "No matter what, it's a brother." By the way, I still have something to ask you, what's going on with that Lu Zhiqing's face? No matter how bad Lin Yixiang is, he won't fall in love with her, right? ”

"I heard that she was scratched by an assassin, she was supposed to be my concubine, and it was miserable to end up at this point, I wanted to let Lao Qi treat her well for the sake of the Ye family and the Lu family, but who knew that the Ye family was not doing things well, it was too disappointing, and I wanted to do something to Lu Zhiyao but was dealt with by Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan, there is really no way to do it."

"I'll just say, that Lu Zhiyao is definitely not an easy lord to deal with. Since Lu Zhiqing is what you don't want, and the Ye family has no use value now, then I will deal with her, and you have no opinion, right? ”

Lin Yichen knows Nangong Nuo'er's temperament very well, and what she wants is absolutely not enough for the second person, including men. Lin Yichen also knew a little about her and Xia Yao back then. It's just that he didn't dare to tell her the truth, for fear that she would accidentally reveal it when she was arguing with Xia Yao, and besides, Lin Yichen could also see that Lin Yixiang also had some feelings for Xia Yao at that time. It's just that he still understands what he wants, so the beauty has to give up. Compared with Xia Yao, this Lu Zhiqing is too much worse. It's not just the face, it's the mind. When Nuo'er marries into the Luo Wangfu, I'm afraid that within a month, Lu Zhiqing will be tortured to death.

"Be more subtle, and the rest doesn't matter."

Lin Yichen agreed, and Nangong Nuo'er had no worries. After galloping on the horse farm with Lin Yichen unscrupulously for half an hour, Nangong Nuo'er found Lin Yixiang sweating, and said, "I'm hungry, accompany me out of the palace to eat something." ”

Lin Yixiang was sitting by the window reading a book, glanced up at Nangong Nuo'er, and replied, "Isn't the cook in the palace still able to feed your stomach?" ”

"Oh, I just want to go out with you, where do you get so much nonsense? Come with me! Nangong Nuo'er pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and dragged Lin Yixiang up without saying a word. I think you should move to the palace earlier, every time I look for you, I have to enter the palace, and I will die of trouble. ”
