Chapter 66: Trapping the Eighth Prince
Yin Jianli didn't dare to delay, and immediately returned to King Mu's mansion and told Lin Mubai what Zi Ningshuang had explained. After listening to Yin Jianli's words, Lin Mubai was different from his previous calmness, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and he asked, "Has anything happened in the palace recently?" ”
"Recently, because of the affairs of the Nangong family, I haven't paid too much attention to the harem, but there shouldn't be any major incidents, otherwise even if it is transmitted, it should be passed on to our ears." Yin Jianli thought for a moment and replied.
"Send someone into the palace immediately to check on me, remember, don't let her know."
Lin Mubai sat on the chair with gloomy eyes, thinking about Zi Ningshuang's explanation of his affairs, and sighed faintly after a while.
Unconsciously, Xiaoxue has reached this age. It was not for nothing that Zi Ningshuang found herself for this matter, if she really ignored this matter, Lin Ruoxue would not be surprised even if Lin Ruoxue was arranged by Lin Yunlong to make peace. After all, he is such a person, he only has the throne and power in his eyes. But maybe it's because of this that he's more suitable to sit in that position than himself.
Lin Ruoxue lived in the Eight Emperors' Mansion, and she didn't know what was happening around her, and she couldn't imagine what kind of trouble would be caused because of her departure from the palace. Without those trivial rules in the palace, Lin Ruoxue is like a bird that flew out of the cage, it is strange to see everything all day long, and she doesn't feel tired when she runs around the capital with Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the shadow in front of him and smiled helplessly. Looking at the position where Lin Ruoxue stopped and the direction he was looking at, Lu Zhiyao faintly had a feeling that it was not very good.
"Eighth sister-in-law." Lin Ruoxue mysteriously walked back to Lu Zhiyao's side and asked, "We've been to this place before, right?" ”
"That's right." Lu Zhiyao nodded, the last time he brought her over, it was when he saw Lin Yinan entering the Huamanlou Building. And the first time I met Lin Ruoxue, it seemed that it was because she sneaked into a brothel.
"I said Xiaoxue, you won't be ...... You want me to take you to that kind of place, right? Lu Zhiyao frowned lightly and asked Lin Ruoxue in a low voice. After seeing Lin Ruoxue's impatient nod, Lu Zhiyao said with a hesitant expression: "No, if I am known by the noble concubine or Mu Wangye, I will be miserable." ”
"It's okay, if Eniang and Uncle Huang are to blame, I'll say that I forced you to take me there! Besides, the starling won't die without help. Lin Ruoxue pulled the sleeve of Lu Zhiyao's coat and begged bitterly. I just wanted to go in and see what it was like inside. I heard from the people in the palace that Hualou is no worse than the harem, and there are many beauties! ”
"Do you think your starling will agree to me taking you there?" Lu Zhiyao squinted at Lin Ruoxue, "The person who said that to you, it's better not to pay attention to it after you return to the palace." Dare to compare the emperor's harem with this kind of smoky place, if the emperor or any lady knows it, it will be enough for him to lose his head. ”
"But the eighth sister-in-law ......" Lin Ruoxue wanted to continue to say something, but her eyes caught a person she was a little familiar with, so she turned her head to look, and attracted Lu Zhiyao's gaze by the way.
The two stood under the tree, staring at the man who had come out of the brothel. Lu Zhiyao recognized his identity at a glance, Liu Shengyuan, Liu Yiyu's father.
"You know him?" Lu Zhiyao asked Lin Ruoxue with some doubts, Liu Shengyuan's official position is not high, Lin Ruoxue is in the palace all the year round, there is no reason to know him.
"It's a bit impressive." Lin Ruoxue slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Zhiyao. "Once I met him in the palace, and there was that Jiang Wei who was called Jiang Wei."
"Do you still know Jiang Wei?" When Lu Zhiyao heard this, he couldn't help but be interested. Although Jiang Wei is climbing fast now, after all, he has not been in the capital for a long time, and it is not easy to make the little princess remember him after meeting him once.
"I don't know each other." Lin Ruoxue leaned against the trunk of the tree and began to recall what happened that day. "It's just that I heard from the servants around me that Jiang Wei is a popular man under the prince, and I have some impressions when he came to the palace to see the queen's mother. And what the two of them said at the time was quite interesting, so I can remember it until now. ”
"Oh? What did they say? ”
"What do you say about the Beauty Pavilion, that ......"
"Say what? Beauty Pavilion?! Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, interrupting Lin Ruoxue's words. Are you sure you heard it right? ”
Lin Ruoxue saw that Lu Zhiyao's expression was a little different from just now, and nodded seriously, "That's right, I was also eavesdropping at the time, so I was also a little scared, but fortunately they didn't find me." I remember what they said at the time, they said that the harem is indeed good, but unfortunately they have no blessings, I don't know when they will find the beauty pavilion, and also see the beauty of this world. ”
It was precisely because of these words that Lin Ruoxue glanced at them twice, and then remembered these two bold people. "Eighth sister-in-law, what kind of place is the Beauty Pavilion? Is it also a flower building? Isn't it here, can you take me to take a look? ”
Lu Zhiyao's thoughts were all led by Lin Ruoxue's words just now, she had always known that Jiang Wei was not a decent gentleman, and she had also been worried that after he heard the rumors about the Beauty Pavilion, he would start to investigate in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, so when he left the capital, he would ask Chu Ziqian to see this person. It's a pity that Chu Ziqian didn't find anything, and she also thought that Jiang Wei wouldn't have any ghost ideas for a while. But now listening to Lin Ruoxue's words, it seems that things are not what she thinks. It turned out that Jiang Wei had never given up, and had been secretly trying to find out the location of the Beauty Pavilion.
"Xiaoxue, the Beauty Pavilion is not comparable to these fireworks lands." Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth with a smile in his eyes, which immediately raised Lin Ruoxue's curiosity. "But you have to remember that you must never say these three words in front of your mother or your uncle, otherwise I can guarantee that you will never have a chance to leave the palace again."
Lu Zhiyao said it so seriously, Lin Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and responded with a solemn expression: "I remember!" ”
"Let's go, let's go and see where Lord Liu wants to go." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, took Lin Ruoxue's hand, and walked in the direction where Liu Shengyuan left.
Seeing Liu Shengyuan again, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but think of Liu Yiyu, her former "best friend", perhaps, the only woman Lin Yixiang has ever liked.
The past is vivid, and the more unbearable the memories, the more difficult it is to forget.
She couldn't stand her marriage with Lin Yixiang, so she chose to end her life. But Lu Zhiyao is a little puzzled now, since Lin Yixiang doesn't like himself and has affection for Liu Yiyu, why didn't he tell Liu Yiyu the truth in the first place?
Lu Zhiyao followed all the way from a distance, until he saw Liu Shengyuan's sedan chair stopped at the door of Jiang Wei's house.
"Alright, let's go back too." Lu Zhiyao looked sideways at Lin Ruoxue, "Have a good rest today, and let your starling take you to play tomorrow." ”
"Where can Starling take me?" Lin Ruoxue didn't believe Lu Zhiyao's words, she had been living in the Eight Emperors' Mansion for so many days, but Lin Yinan had always been troublesome and refused to take herself out, so she pushed herself to the eighth sister-in-law, which Lu Zhiyao should also know.
"Let him take you to King Mu's Mansion and see your imperial uncle."
Jiang Wei dared to hit the idea on the Beauty Pavilion, if Lin Mubai knew it, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat. At the beginning, Jiang Wei and the Nangong family joined forces and killed so many lives of her Xia family, but this hatred of Lu Zhiyao has always been remembered in his heart, and he dare not forget it for a moment. Zheng was worried that he couldn't find any good time to put the red man next to the prince to death, but he sent it to the door himself. With such cooperation, how could Lu Zhiyao be unhappy?
Lu Zhiyao returned to the Eight Emperors Mansion with a smile on his face, which made people know that Lu Dao was in a good mood at a glance.
Lin Yinan watched the two of them walk in from the outside along the window, Lin Ruoxue jumped in front and went straight to her room, while Lu Zhiyao walked slowly behind, and when she raised her eyes slightly, she saw Lin Yinan's gaze.
Closing the book on the table, Lin Yinan waited for the two to enter the house. After Lin Ruoxue pushed open the door, she asked out loud: "What good things happened, so happy?" ”
"Eighth brother, eighth sister-in-law said to let you take me to the emperor's mansion tomorrow to play, do you agree?" Lin Ruoxue stood in front of Lin Yinan, as if as long as Lin Yinan dared to say a word, she would immediately turn back to Lu Zhiyao to complain.
"Go to King Mu's Mansion?" Lin Yinan was a little surprised that Lu Zhiyao would let him go to Lin Mubai. Looking at Lu Zhiyao, who had also walked into the house, Lin Yinan silently asked her the reason for the incident.
Lu Zhiyao pretended not to see Lin Yinan's eyes, and sat directly at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. Hearing that Lin Yinan agreed to Lin Ruoxue first, and then sent her away, Lu Zhiyao sat up straight and looked directly at Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Won't you provoke Lord Mu again, let me take Xiaoxue to intercede for you, right?" ”
"Look at what you said, I asked you to ask for credit." Lu Zhiyao was a little dissatisfied with Lin Yinan's speculation, "What am I trying to provoke him to do." ”
"Credit?" Lin Yinan pondered for a moment, silently thinking about Lu Zhiyao's words. If it was in normal times, she would definitely not give up this opportunity to please Lin Mubai to others, Lu Zhiyao still hoped to make Lin Mubai happy and teach her some martial arts, but what happened today?
Lin Yinan got up and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao, looking at her condescendingly, the two looked at each other, Lin Yinan spoke up slowly, and asked, "Girl, you won't give me any tricks, right?" ”
Lu Zhiyao coughed lightly, looked at Lin Yinan's suspicious expression, and knew that he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so he was ready to confess and be lenient.
"How dare I give the Eighth Prince any tricks, even if he does, the Eighth Prince will still jump out, isn't it?"
