Lu Zhiyao helped Lu Zhiqing speak in front of Lin Ruoxue and Lin Yixiang, which made Lu Zhiqing so nervous that she couldn't do it as soon as her words fell. There was a hint of panic in her eyes, Lu Zhiqing looked at Lu Zhiyao and then at Lin Yixiang, and after Lin Yixiang glanced at her, she hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, I didn't say anything, you believe me!" ”

Lu Zhiqing was afraid that Lin Yixiang would misunderstand something, and his attitude towards himself in the future would be worse than now. How do you know that even if she doesn't say so, Lin Yixiang won't think of her.

After so many things, Lin Yixiang can clearly feel that Lu Zhiyao is saying these words for himself now. When I think about many of my previous memories now, it seems that the feeling is different from the original. Especially that time, the Ye family framed Lu Zhiyao and himself, and it was rumored that Lu Zhiyao was pregnant, and the more Lin Yixiang thought about it now, the more suspicious he felt.

"Look at my sister, she wasn't like this before." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lu Zhiqing with a sad expression, and said to Lin Yixiang with something to say: "Since the prince came to pick her up today, then the princess and I will go back to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion first." If the prince really wants to see me another day, he might as well bring his sister with him, and I can talk to her. If it's someone else, then forget it, neither the Eighth Prince nor I like to see the living. ”

After Lu Zhiyao's words were finished, even Lin Ruoxue, who had always been nervous, could hear that something was wrong. The others in her mouth should be referred to...... It's Nangong Nuo'er, right?

"Ruoxue, let's go."

Lu Zhiyao looked back at Lin Ruoxue with a smile, which made Lin Ruoxue suddenly return from her contemplation to reality. Nodding again and again, Lin Ruoxue looked at Lin Yixiang and said, "Seventh brother, I'm leaving." ”

Taking Chen Ming and a few people out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Ruoxue cautiously glanced at the gate behind her, then leaned towards Lu Zhiyao and asked in a low voice, "Eighth sister-in-law doesn't like Nangong Nuo'er very much?" ”

"Am I already that obvious?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's obvious." Lin Ruoxue nodded seriously, and then said thoughtfully: "But I don't like the people of the Nangong family very much, every time I see them, I feel that they are too flamboyant." Even if it's the queen's mother......"

Lin Ruoxue was halfway through speaking, and then realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said. Quickly closed her mouth to meet Lu Zhiyao's smiling gaze, Lin Ruoxue stuck out her tongue and said, "Eighth sister-in-law, don't tell me Eniang, that I told you about the Nangong family." ”

"I know, it's just a secret between the two of us."

Lu Zhiyao nodded in understanding, which calmed Lin Ruoxue's heart. Glancing at the few minions following behind her, Lin Ruoxue asked puzzledly: "Eighth sister-in-law, are there not enough minions in your house?" Why do you have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find these people? ”

"They were bought by me from Ye Shengnan before, and now that Ye Shengnan is dead, it is useless for them to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is better to stay by my side again."

"The eighth sister-in-law is really a good person."

Lin Ruoxue only thought that Lu Zhiyao was pitiful of these minions, but she didn't know that Lu Zhiyao had another purpose for finding them. Lu Zhiyao listened to Lin Ruoxue's praise, he was speechless for a while, and could only smile.

Lu Zhiyao always thought that Lin Yinan said that he was going to deal with the Nangong family that day, just casually talking about it to deter Lin Yixiang. After all, now that Nangong Lingfeng has left, Nangong Nuo'er has also restrained a lot, and he has nothing to do. But within a few days, Lu Zhiyao knew that he was wrong.

Lu Zhiyao didn't know what method Lu Dao Lin Yinan used to make Ye Zhihua reinstate his position as a servant. In short, from the day the emperor's words were conveyed, the Eight Emperors' Mansion seemed to be lively.

The Eighth Prince, who has never asked about the government, actually helped the Ye family, who was abandoned by the prince's faction. This makes many people have to wonder, does Lin Yinan's move mean that he has declared war with the prince?

Lin Yixiang also regretted a little at this time, he threw away the Ye family's chess piece because of Lu Zhiyao's matter, but now even if he wants to pick it up again, it is not so simple.

Ye Zhihua had already decided to do things under Lin Yinan because of the previous events and the new revenge that his son was killed by the Nangong family. And Prime Minister Lu Yuanzheng, who has been hesitating between the prince's faction and the Eighth Prince, and has never let go, even showed that he intended to stand on the boat of the Eighth Prince when others asked him what had happened.

The news spread faster and faster, making Lin Yichen a little flustered. Because Lin Yinan has never made such a big move for so many years. Swallowing this breath, Lin Yichen planned to find a time to go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion in person, he hadn't met Lin Yinan for a long time, and the last time the two had a face-to-face conversation was a long time ago.

Although the harem can't intervene in the government politics, the people in the harem are also aware of every move outside.

On this day, Zi Ningshuang was sitting in the courtyard thinking about things, when she suddenly heard the slave panting and said that the emperor was coming towards them.

Zi Ningshuang's eyes sank, and he waved his hand to let the minion stand back, and stood up to meet Lin Yunlong.

When Lin Yunlong walked into the courtyard, there was no slave behind him, and when he saw Zi Ningshuang standing there, he walked over directly and sat down where she was just sitting, and then didn't say anything superfluous, and said straight to the point: "I've been a little busy lately, so I just took the time to come here today." I heard that you sent Xiaoxue to the Eight Emperors' Mansion? What's going on? Why haven't I heard you mention this before? ”

"The emperor has been busy with court affairs, and there are some things that the emperor does not know, which is also good."

Zi Ningshuang's face did not have the slightest joy because of Lin Yunlong's appearance, and his tone was still as cold as usual: "I have been thinking about talking to the emperor about this matter in the past two days, and since the emperor asked today, I will say it directly." Xiaoxue is not suitable to live in the palace recently, and she doesn't want to go anywhere else, the Eighth Imperial Concubine and Xiaoxue have always gotten along, so she let her take Xiaoxue away. ”

"Not suitable for living in the palace? How can she say this, she has grown up in this palace since she was a child, how did this place become a place that is not suitable for her? ”

"The emperor is right, Xiaoxue did grow up here. However, she is not the emperor's daughter after all. Zi Ningshuang said slowly, and when she saw Lin Yunlong frowning because of the words behind her, she continued: "I don't want to mention this matter again, but someone has already said it in front of Xiaoxue, and I have no choice but to send her out." ”

"Are you saying that someone has said in front of Xiaoxue these days that she is not my daughter?" A trace of anger crossed Lin Yunlong's eyes, "Who is so bold?" ”

"Some people do say, but whoever it is, the emperor doesn't ask." Zi Ningshuang took two steps, sat on the chair next to her, and said to Lin Yunlong: "Your Majesty, if it goes on like this, she will know the truth one day sooner or later." I had promised you to stay in the palace forever, but Xiaoxue has grown up, and it's time for her to leave. In this palace, it's really not for her. ”

Zi Ningshuang has never mentioned the name of any concubine in front of Lin Yunlong, suing anyone, for so many years, she has never asked Lin Yunlong to help punish anyone because she is "favored". Whether she is doing well or not, how can Lin Yunlong not know. But......

"It's been so many years since you entered the palace, but I'm still the same as I was at the beginning, and I still can't get your heart." Lin Yunlong smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and there was a sense of loss in his heart that did not match his identity.

He is the head of a nation, and he will have what he should want. But now he has to admit that there are some things that he really can't get no matter how he fights for them, just like the person in front of him.

"Since it's Xiaoxue's own choice of the Eight Emperors' Mansion, let's go with her. I just don't want you to get involved with her. ”

"The emperor can rest assured that the battle between the eighth prince and the crown prince has nothing to do with our mother and daughter. Neither I nor Xiaoxue would wade into this muddy water. ”

"That's good, I'll leave first, and I'll find out what you just said. I will also consider the future of Xiaoxue that you are talking about. ”

After Lin Yunlong finished speaking, he got up and left, Zi Ningshuang stood up and didn't say anything, watching him leave. After she couldn't see Lin Yunlong's figure, she sat on the chair weakly, feeling a little headache.

After so many years, the three of them have always been like this, and none of them have ever thought of letting go. Lately, however, she had become more and more distraught, and wanted to get out of the cage more and more. But after thinking about the reason why he chose to come in in the first place, Zi Ningshuang's cold gaze gradually softened a little.

After all, I still can't bear to see him implicated. Although I feel uncomfortable in this way, at least my heart will not hurt, and I don't have to watch him die.

Remorse was entangled in her heart, she knew that she would be today, she would not have chosen to come to the capital in the first place......

"Niangniang, the people who Mu Wang Ye are asking to see him outside."

Zi Ningshuang raised her eyes to look at the minion who had been announced, thought for a while, and said, "Let him in." ”

As expected, it was Yin Jianli again. After receiving Lin Mubai's letter from Yin Jianli's hand, Zi Ningshuang did not immediately open it, but talked to Yin Jianli.

"Go back and tell the prince, just say that I begged him, and it is time to find a family for Xiaoxue and get married."

Yin Jian shook away from his gaze, never expecting Zi Ningshuang to say such a thing.

Zi Ningshuang saw Yin Jianli's surprise, smiled slightly, and said, "Go back, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

Zi Ningshuang walked into the room, looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, and her thoughts drifted back to the season when she and Lin Mubai first met many years ago.

At that time, I didn't know his identity, and I couldn't afford to look down on this senior brother who was not as good as himself. But the world is unpredictable, but he didn't expect that he would one day live in this palace for so many years for him.
