Chapter 76: Birthmarks
As soon as Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao's movements, she understood that she didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao at all, so she swallowed her anger and took people back to the capital and the Eight Emperors' Mansion. Lin Yinan entered the study alone, and the back of leaving in a hurry made Lu Zhiyao can't help but self-examine, she made Lin Yixiang so embarrassed before, right, or right?
Soon after the two left, Lin Yixiang, who was already embarrassed, also brought the exhausted Nangong Nuo'er back to the capital. Lu Zhiyao's appearance kept repeating in his mind, which made him upset. Fortunately, the emperor sent someone to summon him into the palace at this time, and Lin Yixiang, who had something to do, could divert all his attention.
Lin Yunlong didn't have anything important to find Lin Yixiang, but he heard that someone had robbed a prisoner on the road, so he asked him to ask what happened. Listening to Lin Yixiang finish talking about the matter, Lin Yunlong asked thoughtfully, "Didn't the eighth go over to help you?" β
It's okay not to mention Lin Yinan, as soon as Lin Yinan is mentioned, Lin Yixiang will not be able to get angry.
"The eighth brother sent people to repel the enemy, and the eighth brother made a great contribution." Lin Yixiang said the facts, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
"That's good, you go back, there are still a lot of people waiting to be cleaned up in the court, I still need the assistance of your two brothers, and in a few days, I will hold a celebration banquet for you."
The reality is so cruel, there are few people who really care about the dead, especially outsiders who are not related to them. Lin Yixiang's order to behead Nangong Lingfeng has changed the views of many ministers in the court and the central government on him, and I have to admit that the emperor's sons are indeed good. Nangong Lingfeng has been an official in the court for so many years, and there is nothing to be done about how many people want to remove him from power. As soon as the two brothers Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang cooperated, they actually got things done. And not only did Nangong Ling Feng die, but also let the prince, who had been living in the prince's palace and had the opportunity to become the prince, had to move out of the palace where he had lived for many years and lost the title of prince.
The emperor lifted the control of Lin Yichen and Nangong Liu Xi on the second day of Nangong Lingfeng's death, and withdrew all the people arranged around them, as if nothing had happened, so that peace in the palace was restored.
On the day Nangong Lingfeng died, Lin Yichen asked Luo Yunzheng to save people. But no matter how powerful Luo Yunzheng is, when Su Shi's people besiege him together, he will become powerless to fight back. was chased and beaten by a few hairy boys again, and suffered a loss, Luo Yunzheng firmly kept this grudge in his heart, and came back to report to Lin Yichen with an expressionless face, making Lin Yichen die.
Lin Yichen, who learned that Nangong Lingfeng had fallen to the ground, suddenly felt empty in his heart, and he didn't step out of the door for a long time, Luo Yunzheng looked at the little prince who had lost his backer, and couldn't say anything.
Even if Luo Yunzheng has great ability, but he alone can't do anything, not to mention that Lin Yinan has so many capable minions on his side, so looking at this, Lin Yichen undoubtedly has no chance of winning. Luo Yunzheng also felt a little helpless after learning all this, it was a pity that the Nangong family was gone.
Nangong Nuo'er, who has always been strong, collapsed after returning to Prince Luo's mansion and was bedridden for a few days, and Lin Yixiang chose not to set foot in that room after going to see her twice. In this way, Lu Zhiqing, who had even been ignored by the servants in the house before, seemed to have hope again.
Lu Zhiqing has gone through so many hardships, and when Lin Yixiang walked into her room again, she was no longer as naΓ―ve as before, and really felt that she would be the real mistress of this palace from now on. She has already heard about Lin Yixiang's killing of General Nangong, although the relationship between Nangong Nuoer and Lin Yixiang in the future will definitely not be the same as before, and even Nangong Nuoer may be suspended, but now Lin Yixiang's status is different. He is not only a prince, but also a prince. Such a man will not lack women, and he will not bring women with him who can't take them out.
Lu Zhiqing has a family background but no appearance, and Nangong Nuo'er is now beautiful but has no background, so Lu Zhiqing can guess that soon, there will definitely be happy events in Prince Luo's mansion. It's just that I don't know which family's daughter will marry.
"The prince hasn't been here for a long time, why are you in the mood to come over today?" Lu Zhiqing asked softly.
"Huh? Is this picking on this king? β
"The prince laughed, how dare I." Lu Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Zhilu Dao Lord has been in a bad mood recently, but my mouth is clumsy, and I won't say anything to make the prince happy, if the prince wants to come to me to relax, I'm afraid it will ......"
"He also said that his mouth was stupid, why didn't this king find out." Lin Yixiang smiled slightly, "It seems that we haven't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, right?" β
"That's true, does the prince want to accompany me back to have a look?" Lu Zhiqing asked expectantly, but in his heart, did Lin Yixiang want to discuss something with his father?
"Okay, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, let's go now?"
Lu Zhiqing opened her eyes in surprise, nodded, and after dressing up a little, she went out with Lin Yixiang. The servants in the palace saw the two of them go out one after the other, and then left the palace in a sedan chair, and they couldn't help but discuss in private.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong were there. Lu Zhiqing took Ye Lianrong's arm and walked away, so that Lin Yixiang could talk to Lu Yuanzheng alone. But she thought wrongly, Lin Yixiang did have something to say to Lu Yuanzheng when he came back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but what he was talking about was not the official matter of the imperial court, but about Lu Zhiyao.
Since returning from the law field that day, the words that Lu Zhiyao said to Lin Yixiang have often echoed in his mind. Even when he was dreaming, Lin Yixiang would dream of it, and he would dream of Xia Yao, and he would dream that these two women slowly became a person.
This kind of dream made Lin Yixiang feel ridiculous, but he also had to say that there were many strange things about Lu Zhiyao. Lin Yixiang once asked Lu Zhiqing about Lu Zhiyao, and in order to confirm, he came to Lu Yuanzheng.
Lu Yuanzheng looked at the Prince Luo in front of him, who had recently been in the limelight, and smiled faintly. Lu Yuanzheng had already decided his position, and he did not intend to change it. Like Lu Zhiqing, Lu Yuanzheng also thought that Lin Yixiang came to him for the affairs of the imperial court, but when Lin Yixiang spoke, Lu Yuanzheng realized that it was not what he thought.
"When did the Eighth Imperial Concubine start practicing martial arts?"
The first thing Lin Yixiang asked made Lu Yuanzheng stunned. When did Lu Zhiyao learn martial arts? This is also what Lu Yuanzheng wants to know!
"This ......" Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lin Yixiang in embarrassment, and said in a non-answerable way: "Why did the prince think of asking this?" β
"Xiangye just has to answer that this king wants to know the way."
Lu Yuanzheng frowned, and sighed secretly, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had caused some trouble to provoke this Prince Luo again. "Zhiyao has never practiced martial arts when he was at home, and he should have been taught by the Eight Emperors after marrying into the Eight Emperors' Mansion."
"Oh? Are you sure? Lin Yixiang's eyes sank, and his heart beat twice faster.
"This ......"
"Did the Eighth Imperial Concubine have any dealings with Xia Zhenkun's daughter before? I heard that she has a good relationship with that Xia Yao, it seems to be good? β
Lu Yuanzheng covered his uneasiness with a smile, not knowing how to answer Lin Yixiang's question, if not, he was afraid that this was not the answer Lin Yixiang wanted. If it is, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan.
Lu Yuanzheng's brief silence made Lin Yixiang even more suspicious, "Why, it won't be that even the prime minister doesn't know about his daughter, right?" β
"Let the prince smile, the minister is only busy with the political affairs of the DPRK and China on weekdays, and he really doesn't care much about the affairs of the family." In desperation, Lu Yuanzheng could only follow Lin Yixiang's words.
Lin Yixiang's topic was never far away from Lu, and he chatted with Lu Yuanzheng for a long time, until Lu Yuanzheng's scalp was numb and couldn't answer, Lin Yixiang left the Prime Minister's Mansion full of doubts.
Lu Yuanzheng immediately sent someone to the Eight Emperors' Mansion after Lin Yixiang left, and told Lin Yinan about the incident. After listening to this, Lin Yinan said with a calm expression, but there were already waves in his heart.
Sure enough, Lin Yixiang couldn't let go of Xia Yao's matter.
Lu Zhiyao didn't know at this time that Lin Yixiang was secretly investigating her affairs, and after getting rid of Nangong Lingfeng, the pressure in his heart was less. Staying in the Eight Emperors' Mansion every day, leisurely, I also think it's good.
"Madam, when is the water boiling, when will you bathe?"
"Now." Lu Zhiyao raised his head and said to Wanyue, put down the book in his hand and stood up, walked behind the screen and took off his clothes, and then entered the bathtub and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Madam, the master seems to have been going to the palace a lot lately." Wanyue was busy on the side, chatting with Lu Zhiyao. "In the past two days, I have accompanied my mother to go out to buy vegetables, and I can hear the people in the city discussing the affairs of the Eighth Prince and Prince Luo."
"Oh? What did they say? Lu Zhiyao closed his eyes and asked with interest.
Wanyue heard Lu Zhiyao's inquiry, and hurriedly ran to the bathtub to massage her shoulders, and replied: "I have only heard a few words, and some people say that Prince Luo will become the emperor soon, and the eighth prince will become a prince in the future." also said that Prince Luo can have today, and the eighth prince has contributed a lot! β
"Xuanyue, this thing can be eaten indiscriminately, but if there is something, you can't say it indiscriminately, do you understand?" Lu Zhiyao smiled jokingly, Lin Yixiang is the emperor? He didn't even dream about it!
"Knowing the way, knowing the way, I only dare to say this in front of Mrs. You." Wanyue stuck out her tongue, and she could tell that Lu Zhiyao was unhappy. Gently squeezing the warm water onto Lu Zhiyao's body, suddenly, Wanyue stopped what she was doing, looked intently at a place on Lu Zhiyao's back, and sighed: "I didn't pay attention to it before, but it turns out that there is such a beautiful thing on Madame's back." β
Lu Zhiyao's body was suddenly stunned, her expression froze, she slowly looked back at Wanyue, and asked, "What is on my back?" β
"Birthmark, it's a butterfly, right?"
