Thinking about Lin Mubai's attitude towards Lin Ruoxue, Lu Zhiyao felt suspicious.

"No, as far as I know, Ruoxue was only picked up by the concubine, and the emperor also knew about it, and he also issued a secret order not to allow people in the palace to spread it randomly, I don't know where Chang Xiaofan heard about it."

Lin Yinan's answer made Lu Zhiyao a little puzzled, if Lin Ruoxue was not the emperor's daughter, it meant that Zi Ningshuang and the emperor had no children. Why has the emperor been fond of her for so many years, and he did not hesitate to hide Lin Ruoxue's life experience? Why is Prince Mu so special to this mother and daughter? That Ning Guifei is really so beautiful, fascinated the two of them?

Returning to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lu Zhiyao knew the emperor's purpose for finding Lin Yinan. I heard that the emperor gave Nangong Lingfeng a crime in the early dynasty, because so many young soldiers were able to reach the capital, it must be Nangong Lingfeng's negligence. And the military power in Nangong Lingfeng's hands was also transferred to Prince Mu, and asked Nangong Lingfeng to go back to the border immediately, and he could not return to the capital at will without his will.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the crown prince Lin Yichen, who is planning to join forces with Nangong Lingfeng and ascend to the throne. Sitting in the palace, drinking glass after glass, but the mind is still clear. The frightened minions persuaded him again and again, if the emperor knew that he drank so much wine in broad daylight, he would definitely blame him again.

This failure, in the final analysis, is because of Lin Mubai and that Lu Zhiyao. Lin Yichen hadn't paid much attention to this Lu Zhiyao before, and he didn't want her to have so much ability, so he knew that today, he wouldn't have pushed her to Lin Yinan's side to be the Eighth Imperial Concubine.

"Go to Nangong Mansion and bring Nangong Nuo'er to me, I'll sleep for a while." Lin Yichen stood up, casually threw the wine glass to the ground, and strode towards the dormitory.

Nangong Nuo'er entered the palace and saw Lin Yichen. The two sat at the table, looking at each other.

"Drunk?" Nangong Nuo'er smelled the smell of wine on Lin Yichen's body and asked in surprise.

Lin Yichen didn't deny it, but asked her directly: "Last time, you said that Lu Zhiyao was not easy to deal with, why is it difficult to deal with?" ”

Lin Yichen didn't open the pot, and Lu Zhiyao's three words made Nangong Nuo'er's anger rise all of a sudden. However, she was no longer as calm as when she went to see Lin Yinan, she sneered and said, "This Eighth Emperor Concubine is now deeply favored by the Eighth Emperor, and Lin Yinan even did not hesitate to go against my father and Lin Yixiang for her. I said, Brother Prince, when you married Lin Yinan when you first married her, didn't you check her person? ”

"What's there to check, the notorious **, who would have thought she would have so many tricks." Lin Yichen still remembered Lu Zhiyao's bad reputation, so he still couldn't accept Lu Zhiyao's martial arts, even higher than Nangong Nuo'er.

"I asked Lu Zhiqing, and she also said that she didn't know about Lu Zhiyao's martial arts skills before. It seems that this Lu Zhiyao has been hiding himself very well, and I think that if you want to deal with Lin Yinan, you have to start with her. ”

"I heard General Nangong say that Lin Yinan's skills are very good?" Lin Yichen remembered one thing and was a little concerned.

Nangong Nuo'er sighed, she didn't want to admit that fact, but when she recalled Lin Yinan's cold and murderous appearance that night, she would still feel a little afraid.

"He didn't do much, but he could see that he was very fast, and we didn't notice when he appeared, he was able to rescue Lu Zhiyao from the hands of the three of us, and knock me down, leaving scars on my father's body, you can imagine how good his skills are."

When he went back that night, when Nangong Lingfeng was undressing, he found that the place where he was beaten by Lin Yinan was bruised.

"My father left this time, and he won't come back for a while, and we don't know when we can wait until we can do it again." Nangong Nuo'er looked at Lin Yichen with a sad face and said, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, what is the reason why the emperor has been refusing to reveal his thoughts all these years and refusing to admit that he wants to pass on the throne to you?" Could it be that the emperor really has other candidates in mind? ”

"I'm thinking about that, too." Nangong Nuo'er told Lin Yichen's worries in his heart, although he never showed up in this plan, and it was impossible for others to find out about him, but the failure of the plan still had an impact on him, the prince. "Could it be that my father really wants to pass on the throne to the eighth child?"

"Isn't it possible for others? There are so many princes in the palace, maybe the emperor has already taken a fancy to them, but he refuses to let you know. ”

Nangong Nuo'er's words made Lin Yichen fall into deep thought, the princes in the palace are not few, if the father doesn't want to choose himself and the eighth child, then who else might he fancy to?

"Don't have any more disputes with Lin Yinan and the others during this time, lest the emperor be angry with you and secretly stare at that Lu Zhiyao to see if he can poke something out of her." Lin Yichen and Nangong Nuo'er studied it and advised: "And Lin Yixiang, you should keep more of it yourself." ”

"I know it."

Nangong Nuo'er walked out of the palace and walked towards Prince Luo's mansion step by step. I don't know how long I walked, but when I saw the gate of the palace, Nangong Nuo'er felt a little tired in hindsight.

Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing walked out of the mansion one after another, and before they could get on the sedan chair, they saw Nangong Nuo'er standing there.

Nangong Nuo'er glanced at the sedan chair and then at the two of them, feeling very uncomfortable. Lin Yixiang hasn't paid much attention to Lu Zhiqing these days, and now that his father has just been condemned by the emperor, he took Lu Zhiqing out of the house, is this for himself, or who do you want to show it? !

Nangong Nuo'er took two steps forward and stood in front of Lin Yixiang. "Where is this going?"

"Accompany Zhiqing back to Xiangfu, maybe you have to come back later." Lin Yixiang whispered back.

"Let her go back on her own, I have something to say to you."

Nangong Nuo'er's voice was not small, so the guards standing at the door also heard it. Lin Yixiang didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Nangong Nuo'er, and there was silence all around, Lu Zhiqing, who was standing behind Lin Yixiang, saw Lin Yixiang suddenly walk towards the sedan chair, she didn't make a sound, and walked over.

Nangong Nuo'er's words were regarded as wind in her ears, and with a servant next to her, her face was a little unbearable. Blocking Lin Yixiang's way again, Nangong Nuo'er looked at Lin Yixiang sharply and said, "I don't allow you to go." ”

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far away, I can go back alone." Before Lin Yixiang could say anything, Lu Zhiqing had already opened his mouth softly. At Lin Yixiang's somewhat surprised gaze, Lu Zhiqing smiled indifferently and said, "I want to accompany my mother more, and I won't come back tonight." ”

After speaking, Lu Zhiqing got into the sedan chair. The sedan chair man didn't dare to move immediately, but looked at Lin Yixiang first, and after Lin Yixiang nodded, he carried the sedan chair and walked away in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Zhiqing sat there with her eyes closed, this result was what she expected, but after all, she was still a little bitter in her heart. No matter what, she is not as important as Nangong Nuo'er.

The sedan chair gradually walked away, and Lin Yixiang turned around directly and entered the palace, without looking at Nangong Nuo'er. Nangong Nuo'er ignored his dissatisfaction, followed, followed Lin Yixiang into the room, and asked straight to the point: "How did you remember to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"What do you want to tell me? Go ahead. Lin Yixiang adjusted his posture and asked Nangong Nuo'er. He knew about her entering the palace today, but she just said something, but Lin Yixiang couldn't be sure. "Is it to ask about Lu Zhiyao, or is it Lin Yinan's?"

Nangong Nuo'er opened her mouth, she was just trying to find an excuse to stop him from leaving with Lu Zhiqing, but since he said so, then she said hello.

"Both." Nangong Nuo'er also brushed her clothes and sat down, "Didn't you say that the affairs of the Xia family were done seamlessly, how did Lu Zhiyao know about the matter between you and Xia Yao?" ”

"That's what I want to know."

"What Lin Yinan told her?"

"There's no reason for him to talk to her about this for no reason, and Lu Zhiyao has no reason to risk going against me again and again because of something he heard from others." Lin Yixiang pressed his temples with some distress, one Lin Yinan was enough for him to be sad, but who knew that now he would have to add another Lu Zhiyao.

Nangong Nuo'er looked at Lin Yixiang seriously, as if she wanted to see through which words he and himself would be a lie. "There's one more thing I don't understand." Nangong Nuo'er lowered her voice and softened her attitude a little. "The emperor named you king at the beginning, but Lin Yinan's matter has been delayed until now, is he ...... Do you want Lin Yinan to succeed to the throne? ”

Nangong Nuo'er wanted to see Lin Yixiang's attitude, but how could Lin Yixiang not know her mind at all?

"You suspect, I don't think it's possible. It is impossible for the emperor to give up his and the queen's son, and choose a son with the blood of the remnants of the previous dynasty to inherit the throne, Lin Yinan and I have long had no such possibility. The emperor refused to express his position for a while, and promised to have a relationship with your Nangong family, maybe it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Nangong Nuo'er was a little dissatisfied when she heard Lin Yixiang turn the conversation to their family. "Our Nangong family has worked hard for the imperial court for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, not to mention how many young soldiers my father has killed?"

"Nuo'er, the people who protect the country and kill the enemy are not only your Nangong family." Lin Yixiang looked at Nangong Nuo'er with clear eyes, and said slowly: "The Xia family has also made so many achievements, think about it, why did the emperor agree to our bloody search for the city to kill Xia Zhenkun?" Is it really because he was angry when he learned that Xia Zhenkun collaborated with the enemy and committed treason? I think that the emperor is ruthless because of the crown prince. The power of the Nangong family is all over the government and the opposition, the queen is a member of the Nangong family, and the general is also a member of the Nangong family, if the two generals become the prince's henchmen, won't the emperor be worried or afraid? He...... I'm also afraid that your Nangong family will rebel, so this time I will use Lin Mubai to contain you, right? ”
