Chapter 62: He Guessed Right [Second Watch]
Lu Zhiyao left Li Yuzhen and went back to the palace directly. At this time, Xuanyuan Haotian and the others had already returned, and Lu Zhiyao was brought over by Bai Lichen as soon as he appeared, saying that the emperor had something to say to her.
As soon as Xuanyuan Haotian came back, he wanted to see her, which was not a good thing for Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao followed him to Xuanyuan Haotian, who was standing with his hands in his hands, with his back to Lu Zhiyao. And Xuanyuan Junfan was standing aside, giving her a silent look, as if he wanted to tell her to be careful when she spoke.
"Let's all get out of here." Xuanyuan Haotian turned around and glanced at Lu Zhiyao and said to the other two.
There were only two left in the house, Lu Zhiyao and Xuanyuan Haotian, and when Lu Zhiyao was thinking about how he should treat himself, Xuanyuan Haotian suddenly asked, "Has the child found it?" β
"Nope." Lu Zhiyao spoke in a low voice and said, "My master has already gone to find it." β
"Those two children were taken away by Lin Yinan, right?" Xuanyuan Haotian asked Lu Zhiyao in an affirmative tone.
"I don't know what to do."
"Will you know what to do?" Xuanyuan Haotian smiled sarcastically and asked, "I am starting to have some doubts now, whether you are an undercover agent sent by Lin Yinan." β
"The emperor always looks down on me so much, I thought that my loyalty had been clearly conveyed to the emperor, but it seems that this is not the case."
To be honest, Lu Zhiyao didn't see the expression on Xuanyuan Haotian's face that should belong to the vanquished, he was still the same as usual, with a coldness in his bones that rejected people thousands of miles away. Losing to Lin Yinan, he should be angry, but Lu Zhiyao didn't feel a trace of anger in his body.
"The emperor came to me, he didn't just want to ask about this, right?"
"It's nothing else, I just want to see what your hypocritical smile looks like." Xuanyuan Haotian replied directly and happily, Lu Zhiyao had expected this, she would not hear anything good today.
"I can understand that the emperor is in a bad mood, so what the emperor sees, is he still satisfied?"
"I knew that Lu Dao would have today, and it shouldn't have been Lin Yichen who hung it on the city gate, but you." Xuanyuan Haotian sighed with some regret, Lu Zhiyao's eyes sank, he actually didn't like to hear him say such things. Could it be that the defeat was entirely because of her? The two countries will lose when they fight, what does it have to do with her.
Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and said nothing, but he didn't know that she was even more dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Haotian like this. Lu Zhiyao silently endured his sharp gaze, and gradually became a little unable to hold on.
"Then why don't I go to the city tower for two days to let the emperor relieve his anger?"
Lu Zhiyao's empathetic proposal arrived, but it was obvious that her proposal was not in line with Xuanyuan Haotian's mind.
"The two children are not with you, and Master has also gone to the country of Charai. It looks like there's no one over here who can restrain you. Xuanyuan Haotian lowered his head and said slowly: "I should always find a way to win, right?" β
"Yes, yes." Lu Zhiyao nodded perfunctorily, "If you lose, you win, this kind of thing is normal." β
"Hmm......" Xuanyuan Haotian raised his eyes and looked at her thoughtfully, and suddenly said without saying the right thing: "Whether to be my concubine or Xuanyuan Junfan, you choose." β
Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little wrong.
"Your Majesty, isn't this joke funny, do we want to do it individually?"
"Am I kidding you?" Xuanyuan Haotian looked serious, "Go back and think about it, and come to see me tomorrow to tell me the answer." β
Lu Zhiyao was sent away by Xuanyuan Haotian like this, and he always felt like he was playing with himself. Marry her and win? Marrying her, a troublemaker, can be regarded as a defeat, although Lu Zhiyao doesn't want to say this about himself, but what's wrong with it.
Xuanyuan Haotian also knew that now that the child is not there, Liao Wuxian is not there, no one can do anything to her. It's a day, and if she really gets into trouble, she will have to wait for Liao Wuxian to come back before she can be punished. Xuanyuan Haotian also thought that the child was in Lin Yinan's hands, wasn't he worried that she would take this opportunity to run away and never come back? How sure was he that she would obediently listen to him and let him win?
The feeling of bad things flashed faintly, Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room, Xuanyuan Junfan hadn't left yet, as if he was waiting for her on purpose.
Lu Zhiyao walked over, knocked on the heavy and hard armor on his body with his hand, and asked, "Isn't it sinking?" Or do you think it looks good in this and are reluctant to take it off? β
"I'm here to save my life, I'm afraid that another Lu Zhizhi will come out of nowhere and kill me."
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhiyao was confused.
The two chatted while walking, and Lu Zhiyao asked Xuanyuan Junfan what he didn't ask at Xuanyuan Haotian.
"I thought this battle would last a few months, but I didn't expect it to end so soon. It stands to reason that there are two of you, the emperor and you, you shouldn't lose, what's going on? β
Xuanyuan Junfan smiled bitterly, "Didn't you say a long time ago, saying that as long as there is Lin Yinan in Xia Lai Kingdom, we won't win?" β
"That's not supposed to be losing so fast, what the hell is going on? Did you hear what the emperor just said? What was he spurred on? β
Lu Zhiyao was open-mouthed in front of Xuanyuan Junfan, and he did not deliberately take into account his mood because of the defeat of the Qing Netherworld.
"I'm stimulated by you." Xuanyuan Junfan replied seriously, "I advise you to stay in the escort team honestly and not run around recently." β
"What do you say...... What do you mean? "She hasn't been out of the mountain for many days, why do you throw everything at her?
"Lin Yinan sent someone to pretend to be you, but we suffered a lot of casualties. The emperor must not want to see your face now, this time it's not a joke, it's better for you to avoid him as much as possible. β
"Send someone, pretend to be me?!" Lu Zhiyao felt incredible, "How is it possible?" No one found out? β
"It's too late to find out, that fake Lu Zhiyao also has my token and escort in his hand, and many people have been deceived by her."
Lu Zhiyao couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, in this way, if she uses these two things to fool people in the future, it won't be so easy to succeed, right?
Lin Yinan was very bold, sending a large army to attack in the front, and sending a few skilled men to make trouble in the rear. He has used all the bad tricks such as poisoning, drugged and setting fire, just Lu Zhiyao's face, I heard that no less than dozens of people saw it that night. Xuanyuan Junfan suspected that there should not be only one person who pretended to be Lu Zhiyao that night. And what made Xuanyuan Haotian angry the most was that he had also seen one of them. More appropriately, it seems that "Lu Zhiyao" deliberately went to him to let him see. So after Xuanyuan Haotian found out that something was wrong, he was able to escape so quickly and be so prepared.
"Look at this palace, on the surface, the wind is calm and quiet, maybe there is someone hiding him Lin Yinan somewhere." Xuanyuan Junfan looked around, and said to Lu Zhiyao with a smile: "The matter that the emperor mentioned to you is not a joke. β
"What's the use of marrying me?" Lu Zhiyao thought about Lin Yinan and felt that Xuanyuan Haotian was crazy. If what Lin Yinan said to her that night was true, and he still had her in his heart, then Xuanyuan Haotian would only anger him even more by doing this. In Lu Zhiyao's view, Xuanyuan Haotian's decision was by no means rational.
"The emperor always has his reasons for doing this." Xuanyuan Junfan did not veto Lu Zhiyao's idea, but he also had his own opinions. "I told you a long time ago that you should consider marrying me, now it's okay, it's more troublesome."
"What are you guys going to do when they get ducks on the shelves?" Lu Zhiyao glared at him unhappily, "I just don't marry, what can I do?" β
"Won't you know the Tao in the future?" Xuanyuan Jun smiled strangely.
"You don't have any other plots, do you?"
"What you are asking is ironic to a vanquished. Now the person in charge of the overall situation is Lin Yinan, and his subordinates are watching everywhere, what other small actions can we make? Girl, listen to me, don't run around, don't talk nonsense, and wait for the emperor's decree obediently. β
Xuanyuan Junfan sighed and left, and Lu Zhiyao sighed and sat there pondering.
What to do? If you marry, you can't definitely marry, marry once or twice, and you can't marry a third time. But the emperor's order cannot be violated, she escaped? Where can I escape?
Lu Zhiyao was very sad, it happened that Mo Xiaoying appeared, and I don't know if he passed by here intentionally or unintentionally.
"I heard that the emperor wants to accept you as a concubine?" Mo Xiaoying asked directly.
"Message...... Is it so fast? Lu Zhiyao asked hesitantly, even she knew the truth?
Mo Xiaoying pursed her lips and smiled, "That's not it, it was Xuanyuan Junfan who told me." Why, look at your unhappy face, don't want to? β
"It's strange if you want to say this!" Lu Zhiyao carefully controlled his voice, "I'll serve you with a husband, are you willing?" It's not like you in front of you and behind it, let's say, what are you looking for me for, it can't be to probe my tone, right? β
Mo Xiaoying chuckled, dragged Lu Zhiyao to a remote and uninhabited corner, and whispered: "There is something that should not have been told to you, but I didn't expect to be really guessed by him." β
"He? Who? β
"Lin Yinan."
As soon as these three words came out of Mo Xiaoying's mouth, Lu Zhiyao's face immediately changed.
"When did you two meet?" Lu Zhiyao didn't want what he was thinking in his head to become a reality.
"The night I went into the mountains to look for you."
Reality is always cruel, and Mo Xiaoying did not hesitate to say what Lu Zhiyao didn't want to hear.
"Lin Yinan said some things to me after he came out, and one of them was to warn me, saying that Xuanyuan Haotian had a crooked mind about you."
Lu Zhiyao's heart was up and down, and he wanted to know what the two of them said, but he couldn't ask. Lin Yinan really didn't plan to leave that night. Later, he left, was it because Mo Xiaoying discovered his existence, so he went to meet Mo Xiaoying?
