Chapter 44: The Second Transaction
A sharp light flashed in Lin Yixiang's eyes, "How is it different?" He asked coldly.
Liu Yiyu smiled and replied: "Loyalty is contrary to the ear, and the truth may be ugly." But the prince asked himself, do you really feel good about killing Xia Yao? ”
Although Liu Yiyu smiled, the smile was a little bitter and far-fetched. Many things will naturally become clear after a long time, and many words are not spoken, but they may not be confused in their hearts. Whether Xia Yao has any weight in Lin Yixiang's heart, no one has ever discussed this. But those things in those years, when Liu Yiyu, who was a bystander, thinks about it now, it doesn't seem to be all the views and feelings of the past.
Xia Yao may really be dead, but because of this, her status in people's hearts is so unattainable, no one can compare.
Whether it is bitter or not, only you know it in your heart. Liu Yiyu saw that Lin Yixiang didn't speak for a long time, so she stopped forcing him. It's just that he recalled with infinite emotion: "The prince never procrastinated in talking and doing things before, and you also have your own purpose. Since you asked me about Xia Yao today, then I also want to ask the prince, if she really didn't die, what are you going to do? ”
"Now, it's not what I want to do." Lin Yixiang slowly stood up, lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Yiyu's face, and said, "Your face is not very good, pay attention to yourself." ”
"Thank you for your concern."
Liu Yiyu's eyes dimly sent Lin Yixiang away, and Lin Yixiang walked out of Liufu, trying to sort out the emotions in his heart. But in fact, he didn't spend much time and energy on it, because what happened next caught him off guard.
Regarding the matter of "crime", Prince Luo's Mansion and the Eight Emperors' Mansion have been working together to investigate before, and Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang have also found some clues.
Judging from the last time and this time, the number of opponents is not small, and the vast majority of them belong to the top masters. Where do such a large number of people hide on weekdays? It's not so easy to sneak into the palace late at night, are they because they have been in the palace a few times and investigated the location of the crown prince and the fourth prince, or because there are people in the palace who answer, so they can rush over directly? These are all things they have to think about.
The prince was anxious to investigate clearly, but he had no choice but to have enough manpower, and he really didn't want to bow to Lin Yinan in this matter, so Lin Yinan took the limelight. After thinking about it for a while, he thought of the group of Qing Ying people who were still in the capital.
Immediately launched the operation, Lin Yichen went out of the palace accompanied by Luo Yunzheng, and finally found the location of Xuanyuan Junfan after some hard work.
"There's something I want the prince to do me a favor." Lin Yichen said to Xuanyuan Junfan straight to the point, and at the same time slapped a silver ticket on the table, the amount was so large that Xuanyuan Junfan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw it.
"It's worth so much money, I'm really a little afraid to agree." Xuanyuan Junfan pushed the silver ticket away from his face a little, "What's the matter?" The prince should speak out first, so that I can decide whether to help or not. ”
Lin Yichen nodded, and after sitting down, he talked to Xuanyuan Junfan about the cause of his headache. Xuanyuan Junfan listened to Lin Yichen's words, was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "This matter is not easy to do, but I am not at all helpless. It's okay for me to do the prince this favor, even if I don't take this silver ticket. But I just want to ask the prince, when will the things you promised me be completed? When will you find the person I want to meet? ”
From the time Xuanyuan Junfan arrived in the capital to the present, so much time has passed, but there is still no news about Xia Han's whereabouts. As a native of the Blue Netherworld, the longer he stays here, the greater the danger. At most, he can stay here for a month, and then he will have to return to the Qing Netherworld, and during this time, he will have to set aside some to settle the grievances with the Eight Emperors' Mansion and find a way to get the short knife from the Eight Emperors' Mansion. Otherwise, nothing will be accomplished, and he will not have the face to go back to see the emperor.
Xuanyuan Junfan mentioned Xia Han, which made Lin Yichen a little embarrassed. It's not that he didn't work hard, and he searched the streets of the capital for so long, but there was no effect at all.
"In half a month, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Then I will believe in the prince again this time, if I can't see that person in half a month, then there is no need for us to cooperate anymore. I think the prince needs our help, and there must be more than this, right? ”
"The prince of the silver ticket accepted it, and when he found out what eyebrows, he went to the palace to find me."
"I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for the prince to let a person from an enemy country enter the palace, right?"
"Even if all of you are allowed to enter the palace, this country will not become yours." Lin Yichen smiled confidently and sent the silver ticket back to Xuanyuan Junfan's eyes. "I still have something to do that I can't stay here for a long time, so I have a little heart, and the prince will accept it."
Xuanyuan Junfan didn't get up to see Lin Yichen off, and after Lin Yichen left, Lu Zhiyao, who had been hiding in the house and listening to all the conversations between the two, also appeared in Xuanyuan Junfan's sight again.
Lu Zhiyao walked to the table and glanced at the silver ticket, "Yo, the prince is really generous." Lu Zhiyao said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Yichen sent such a large amount of silver taels to Xuanyuan Junfan, which was undoubtedly a large amount of materials and food to the other party. Xuanyuan Junfan can use the money to buy things back in the Xia Lai Kingdom, and then use it against the Xia Lai Kingdom when the two countries are at war.
"What does the Eighth Imperial Concubine think?"
"What's the idea?"
"The prince said, let me see Xia Han in half a month."
"Then I'll bet with you, he won't be able to find Xia Han in half a month." Lu Zhiyao leaned back in his chair and said confidently. "What he just said, I just want to ask the prince for a favor. As for the reward, although I can't come up with so much silver, I will definitely satisfy you, my lord. ”
"Oh? What do you want to give me? Tell me about it? Xuanyuan Junfan asked curiously.
"You help me handle this matter safely, and I will return to you the dagger you have always wanted, what do you think? I think that knife should be much more attractive to the prince than this silver ticket, right? ”
Xuanyuan Junfan's eyes lit up, "Is what the Eighth Imperial Concubine said true?" ”
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can let me draw a charge to prove it, and since I, Lu Zhiyao, have said it, I won't regret it. When the matter is done, if you can still help me get rid of the poison on Yi Nan's body, then I guarantee that you will get far more than that. ”
"It's too much to say, it's not good."
"Is it a big deal, and the prince will know when the time comes. It's only half a month, and it's not too long. Does the prince want to wait for half a month before deciding whether to help me or the prince? Or do you want to study the plan with me now? ”
Xuanyuan Junfan stared at Lu Zhiyao's eyes and didn't speak for a long time, which was a difficult choice for him.
After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Junfan decided to take the risk of trying it on Lu Zhiyao's body, because Lin Yichen's side had not moved for so long, and he was more or less disappointed. But Lu Zhiyao gave something that satisfied him when he traded with him for the first time.
"How does the Eighth Imperial Concubine want me to help, let's hear it."
As soon as Xuanyuan Junfan's words came out, Lu Zhiyao understood that he wanted to be on his side. secretly calculated the time for Lin Yinan to return to the house, she took the opportunity of Lin Yinan to go to Prince Luo's mansion and sneaked out, of course, there was Qu Wan'er with her. And Lin Yichen had just left, and Lu Zhiyao thought that he must have gone over there, and he would not go back to the palace so soon.
To make a long story short, Lu Zhiyao told Xuanyuan Junfan his plan simply and clearly. Looking at Xuanyuan Junfan's unpredictable eyes, Lu Zhiyao asked, "Then Liu Yiyu shouldn't have much use value for you, right?" ”
"Not really." Xuanyuan Junfan also told the truth, Liu Yiyu was already planning to get rid of him, if he could sell his favor to Lu Zhiyao, it would naturally be better.
"In that case, I will be the prince and agree."
"If you do this, can the Eighth Prince know the way?"
"I don't know yet, but I'll tell him. As for the time of the operation, I will send someone to inform the prince again. When the deed is done, the sword must be presented with both hands. ”
"I hope the Eighth Imperial Concubine won't let me down."
Lu Zhiyao came over this time to talk to Xuanyuan Junfan about this matter, and by the way, he asked for a poison antidote. With that short knife as a price, Xuanyuan Junfan was also extraordinarily generous when he gave Lu Zhiyao poison.
Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room satisfied, and hurried back to the Eight Emperors Mansion after meeting Qu Wan'er.
Qu Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Lin Yinan had not come back, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, she was not willing to accompany Lu Zhiyao to play such a dangerous game, but she knew better that if Lu Zhiyao went alone, there were three long and two short, and Lin Yinan knew that he would be swallowed alive.
"What are you there for today?" Qu Wan'er ate the fruit on the table without any image, and asked Lu Zhiyao with a curious expression.
"The prince's matter, as well as that Liu Yiyu, I want to get rid of these two people with Xuanyuan Junfan's hand."
"He agreed?"
"Naturally, he agreed, otherwise he wouldn't get what he wanted." Lu Zhiyao said lazily, making Qu Wan'er extremely concerned, what did she use as a condition to make that Xuanyuan Junfan agree.
"Yi Nan is coming back soon, will you wait for him to come back before leaving...... Right now? ”
"You're undoubtedly giving an eviction order, so I'd better go." Qu Wan'er rolled her eyes, bit the apple and stood up inarticulate before leaving.
Lu Zhiyao sent Qu Wan'er away with a smile, and then found the dagger that had been hidden in the room and examined it carefully.
It's a good knife, but it won't make Xuanyuan Junfan forget it so much.
Lu Zhiyao repeatedly studied the dagger in her hand, and she still didn't stop until Lin Yinan came back.
"How did you find it?"
As soon as Lin Yinan entered the room, he saw Lu Zhiyao staring at the dagger with a serious face, Lu Zhiyao looked up, frowned and said, "Yinan, what do you say is good about this knife?" ”
