Chapter 32: Guarding the Forest
"Pressing you? I didn't mean that, I just wanted you to know that what I said was the truth. That woman tonight, you'd better pray that she's the eighth person, otherwise another group of enemies will emerge at this time, do you really think we can handle it? Compared with your own, the prince's affairs are lighter and which are heavier, I hope you can tell clearly, if the news of the Nangong family's intention to kill the prime minister spreads, then it will definitely have an impact on the prince's succession. If you don't know for sure, you don't want to make another move. Don't lose your wife and break the army, the most important benefits will be for the eighth child. ”
"Okay, don't talk about it." Nangong Nuo'er opened her mouth a little impatiently, "Don't worry, even if I Nangong Nuo'er loses my hand, there will be no day when I beg you to save me." You are in this Luo Wangfu, be your Prince Luo, then Lu Yuanzheng you don't want me to move him, then I won't move. But that masked woman, you won't have to protect it too, will you? ”
"Of course not."
Lin Yixiang replied happily, this masked woman pulled herself in, even if Nangong Nuo'er didn't say it, Lin Yixiang would definitely investigate her. Lin Yixiang didn't plan to come forward for today's incident, but he was worried that the other party would investigate the matter so clearly, if Nangong Nuo'er really had an accident, wouldn't it affect him? Besides, Lin Yixiang was also afraid that the other party would be cheating, so it was better to see with his own eyes whether what he said on the paper was true.
Now I think that I made the right trip today. Because although the other party knew the identity of Nangong Nuo'er, he didn't seem to want to debunk her. It is better to rescue Nangong Nuo'er by herself, and it is better to go than to be caught by someone on the spot. But what was the masked man up to? That woman has every chance to kill Nangong Nuo'er today, doesn't she? Letting Nangong Nuo'er go, it was undoubtedly causing her a big trouble, because Nangong Nuo'er would not swallow this breath no matter what.
"My leg hurts, so I'll stay with you today." Nangong Nuo'er frowned and sat down on the chair again, and said to Lin Yixiang: "I'm injured, don't let my father know about it, it's a shame." ”
"Okay." Lin Yixiang didn't delay, and nodded directly, "I'll send someone to the General's Mansion to bring a message to your father first, so that he won't be in a hurry if he can't see you in the morning." But your excuse for staying with me, do you think of what to say? ”
"What is there to think about, anyway, I will move in in a few days, you tell my father, I want to try this house to live comfortably, he will not ask." After Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang finished speaking, they walked to the bed and lay down. Lin Yixiang watched her get into her quilt without any twist, sighed helplessly, turned around and walked out of the room.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng's frightened legs and almost couldn't walk, she patted Lan Ruoya's shoulder and whispered: "I'll go back and wait for you, you don't have to guard it tonight, she won't come back recently." ”
Lu Yuanzheng watched Lu Zhiyao walk away, and asked Lan Ruoya suspiciously, "......Who was that chivalrous girl just now?" ”
"Ah, she's a friend of the Eighth Prince, she happened to come over and helped me, and she'll leave in a few days, Xiangye doesn't have to care." Lan Ruoyan said perfunctorily, and after appeasing Lu Yuanzheng for a while, she transferred some guards to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then left to go back to find Lu Zhiyao.
Lan Ruoyan was thinking about the picture of Lu Zhiyao and Nangong Nuo'er doing it on the way back. Hurriedly went back to see Lu Zhiyao, Lan Ruoya asked hesitantly, "Nangong Nuo'er, she's okay, right?" ”
"Don't worry, there is no poison on the hidden weapon." Lu Zhiyao dispelled Lan Ruoya's worries, and she, who had already changed her clothes, talked about the reason why she brought Lin Yixiang here. "Nangong Nuo'er has always been arrogant, as long as she says one in the Nangong family, no one dares to say two, even Nangong Lingfeng is the same. Looking at it now, the only person who may be able to suppress her a little is Lin Yixiang. The two of them are about to get married, and Lin Yixiang will never allow Nangong Nuo'er to cause him unnecessary trouble. ”
Lu Zhiyao's understanding of Nangong Nuo'er and his bold act of dragging Lin Yixiang into the water made Lan Ruoya a little surprised. And like Lin Yixiang, she also didn't understand at this time, why did Lu Zhiyao want to let Nangong Nuo'er go. I can't do anything to Nangong Nuo'er, that's because everyone else knows his identity, and he knows that he is the person of the Eighth Prince. But the disguised and masked Lu Zhiyao was different, no one would have guessed that the person who killed Nangong Nuo'er was the Eighth Imperial Concubine. Judging from the situation of the two of them, neither side wants to let go of each other and give each other a way to live. In that case, why didn't she just get rid of it?
Lan Ruoya thought about it and asked her doubts. Lu Zhiyao listened to her words and smiled slowly.
"If Nangong Nuo'er dies, it will definitely anger Nangong Lingfeng. Although I don't know what the plans of the Nangong family are in the Dao Dao, but listening to what Yi Nan means, they want to rebel. There are still many Nangong Lingfeng's subordinates at the border pass, so I don't dare to pluck the hair on his tiger now. ”
Lu Zhiyao's words were only half of what she said, she was not afraid of the Nangong family's rebellion, nor was she afraid of the soldiers left by the Nangong family at the border pass. What she is afraid of is where Lin Yinan is now, and his cooperative relationship with the emperor.
If Nangong Lingfeng makes any moves, the emperor will definitely take out Lin Yinan's killer feature. Although she hated the Nangong family, she didn't want to use Lin Yinan as a shield because of this incident, and even got injured because of this incident.
"That'...... Did the Eighth Prince say when he would return? Lan Ruoyan didn't show any surprise because Lu Zhiyao said that the Nangong family was going to turn against her. She looked at Lu Zhiyao and shook her head, and said with a smile: "That's right, the Eighth Prince has always liked to be elusive in doing things, so even if he comes back tomorrow, I don't think it's strange." ”
Lan Ruoya breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and planned to go out to let Lu Zhiyao rest. But after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lu Zhiyao, and said with a smile: "But I really didn't expect the Eighth Imperial Concubine's martial arts to be so good." ”
"Don't praise me, I'm just strong and weak, and sometimes, even I can't grasp myself."
Lu Zhiyao is telling the truth, and she herself doesn't know how far her martial arts have reached. After so many fights with people, most of the time her mind is blank, and she reflexively responds to it.
"It's better to wait for the Eighth Prince to come back and let him teach you." Lan Ruoyan seriously proposed: "The Eighth Prince's martial arts are very good. ”
"He? Forget it. Lu Zhiyao listened to Lan Ruoya's words, pursed his lips and said, "He will be afraid that I will become more powerful than him in the future, so he will definitely not teach me." ”
Lan Ruoya walked out of the room with a smile, Lu Zhiyao took a breath, climbed into bed, and remembered Nangong Nuo'er's matter.
Nangong Nuo'er is not the kind of person who will swallow it in her stomach after today's incident, she should not easily go to the land expedition again, but to herself, I am afraid she will not be so polite. and Lin Yixiang, no matter how dull he is, he must have noticed something after these few things. It's just that he doesn't know if he can think of a woman named Xia Yao.
Lu Zhiyao fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already three strokes in the sun. There is no need to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night to guard, Lu Zhiyao also felt a lot more relaxed for a while. Sitting in the courtyard with Ling Yi and chatting, and then looking at Xia Han sitting there quietly embroidering, the hard-won sense of calm made Lu Zhiyao always feel as if something was missing. After thinking about it carefully, I thought of Lin Yinan.
Lu Zhiyao seriously thought about it, from the time he met Lin Yinan to today, it was not a long time, but they got along...... But it's quite comfortable. It wasn't long before she was separated before she missed him.
Facing the reality, Lu Zhiyao was a little helpless. Regarding his unconsciously dependence on Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao also knew that this was not a good habit. But what's even more terrifying, Lu Zhiyao has a feeling in his heart that he doesn't want to quit this bad disease.
"What is my sister thinking?" Xia Han had been looking at Lu Zhiyao for a while, watching her look down at her hands in a daze, motionless, and couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't think about anything." Lu Zhiyao smiled awkwardly at Xia Han, then turned back to look at Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong who were playing chess over there, and asked, "Is there any news of the Eighth Prince?" ”
"I wrote to him last time, but I haven't received a reply." Ling Yi turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao and said tentatively, "Why don't I write him another letter?" ”
"No need, you better take care of your chess pieces first."
Ling Yi listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, then turned his head sharply to look at the chessboard, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhan Yulong, and said unhappily: "Let's not play like this, can you lose?" If you can't, bring me the money!" ”
"Say what? What does it mean to not be able to afford to lose? Zhan Yulong coughed dryly, and threw the two chess pieces into Ling Yi's arms under Lu Zhiyao's smiling gaze, "It's just to test your reaction, you still shouted, if it weren't for the master to remind you, I don't know how you died." ”
"I just know how you died." Ling Yi gritted his teeth and replied to Zhan Yulong, and the eyes of the two never left the chessboard, for fear that the other party would have bad intentions and steal the chess pieces again.
The two of them were shouting and playing chess, and after a while, Lu Zhiyao saw Zhan Yulong stand up and walk away in frustration. Ling Yiyao's martial expression made Xia Han chuckle twice, and she whispered to Lu Zhiyao's gaze: "More people is lively, this courtyard has not been like this for a long time." ”
Xia Han's words made Lu Zhiyao's heart fall suddenly, thinking about what he owed her, Lu Zhiyao smiled forcefully, and replied: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
