Chapter 45: Hands-on
Lin Mubai's strength was very strong, and he didn't think of constriction. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Mubai's eyes up close, looked at the killing intent faintly flashing in his eyes, and frowned.
"Do you know what kind of people this king hates the most? It's like you, who is weak but always thinks about meddlesomeness. ”
"Could it be that the prince can watch so many Li people die tragically and ignore it? The Nangong family intended to rebel, they colluded with the Qing Ming Kingdom to harm the emperor and wanted Lin Yichen to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. The prince is not worried at all, will the Nangong family do to you when the time comes? ”
"They don't dare." Lin Mubai replied lightly, and between his words, he was very confident.
"But what do they dare to do to me and the Eighth Prince, so what I'm doing now is just for self-preservation." Lu Zhiyao held back the pain and talked to Lin Mubai softly. What method did Lin Yinan use to settle Lin Mubai last time, she still doesn't know. From the first fight to the present, Lu Zhiyao has always been afraid of Lin Mubai. Even after marrying Lin Yinan, he never disappeared.
"Saving Xia Han and Bai Lixuan is also for self-protection?"
Lin Mubai changed his words and turned the topic to Xia Han again. Lu Zhiyao's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice: "They were not saved by me, they escaped death in Xuncheng, and they happened to be met by me after returning to the capital." Xia Han is my sister, and I can't see death without help. ”
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly added, "I have a good relationship with Xia Yao." ”
Lin Yinan's deal with the emperor Lu Zhiyao can't let others know about it, otherwise Lin Yinan's danger will be more. Therefore, the emperor wanted to rehabilitate the Xia family, and Lu Zhiyao did not dare to say it easily.
Lin Mubai squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yuan, Lin Mubai didn't believe what she said. gradually relaxed the strength in his hand, which made Lu Zhiyao also breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lord, aren't you worried that one day Lin Yichen will become the emperor, and the concubines and princesses in the harem will be implicated?"
Lu Zhiyao lightly opened his lips and asked Lin Mubai word by word, so that the force he had just withdrawn was doubled on Lu Zhiyao's body, Lu Zhiyao was slapped by Lin Mubai and took a few steps back, taking a deep breath to relieve the pain in his body. Stabilizing his body and meeting Lin Mubai's cold gaze, Lu Zhiyao knew that now Zi Ning Shuang and Lin Ruoxue might be his only weaknesses.
"If you don't want to help, you shouldn't have heard what I said today. Nangong family, I will deal with it myself. Even if they unfortunately die at their hands, they will not dirty the place in King Mu's Mansion. As for the lady and the little princess in the palace, please pay more attention to the prince himself. The two Qing Ying people in Nangong Mansion are very good at using poison. I don't dare to guarantee that Nangong Lingfeng will arrange for them to enter the palace to poison and murder the emperor. As we all know, the prince's position in the court is unparalleled. The prince has always wanted to win over you, but he has never been able to do so. On the contrary, you have come forward for the sake of the Eighth Prince. Zhiyao thinks he's stupid, but he understands some things. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely exclude dissidents. They can't hurt the prince at all, but it doesn't mean that they can't hurt the two in the palace. The prince's love for the little princess is never hidden, and anyone can see that your treatment of their mother and daughter is not ordinary, isn't it? ”
"Are you threatening this king to join forces with you?" Lin Mubai smiled slightly and asked.
Lu Zhiyao was laughed at by him, and his heart was bottomless. "I don't have the guts, I'm just telling some facts. The prince also understands in his heart whether what I said is true, isn't it? ”
There were a few steps between Lin Mubai and Lu Zhiyao, and after the two looked at each other for a while, the silent atmosphere was finally broken by Lin Mubai.
"Tell me about this king, what else do you know?"
Lin Mubai turned around and sat back on the chair, Lu Zhiyao took advantage of the gap when he turned around, raised his hand and rubbed the place he hit with a painful expression. Lin Mubai's slap was not light, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have vomited blood long ago. Lu Zhiyao smoothed his breath, and after Lin Mubai sat down, he talked about what he wanted to know.
She talked alone for a long time, and Lin Mubai listened all the time except for the occasional question or two. Lu Zhiyao had nothing to say when he reached the end, so he just stood there and looked at him. Lin Mubai's attitude was too weird, so Lu Zhiyao couldn't guess his thoughts.
"Lord Wang, Lan Ruoyan asks to see you."
Yin Jianli's voice came from outside the door, attracting the attention of Lu Zhiyao and Lin Mubai. Lin Mubai glanced at Lu Zhiyao and sneered: "It seems that he is here to save you." ”
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and looked at Lin Mubai quietly. Thinking of many possibilities in his heart, Lu Zhiyao thought that Lin Mubai might imprison her in King Mu's Mansion and not let her leave. I also thought that he might do it to himself again. But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't expect that Lin Mubai would say such a thing.
"You go back first, and later the king will look for you."
Looking for her? What are you looking for her for?!
Lu Zhiyao's eyes widened in panic, not knowing what Lin Mubai meant. Pulling the corners of his mouth far-fetched, revealing a stiff smile, Lu Zhiyao said hesitantly: "How dare you ...... the prince?"
Before Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he was forced back by Lin Mubai's gloomy gaze. Immediately shut up and turned around, striding out of the room. Lu Zhiyao escaped as if fleeing from the famine, for fear that Lin Mubai would regret it and arrest him again.
Lan Ruoya watched Lu Zhiyao walk out with a wrong face, and hurriedly greeted her, and when she saw the blood marks on Lu Zhiyao's face, Lan Ruoya became nervous. "What's going on? Hands-on? ”
"Go back and talk about it." Lu Zhiyao coughed twice, and reached out to press the place where Lin Mubai had hit. "I'm about to die after being beaten by him, go back and give me some medicine."
Lan Ruoyan listened to Lu Zhiyao's words and panicked. He Lu Zhiyao returned to her residence and checked her injuries. Lan Ruoya frowned and looked at the bruised scars on Lu Zhiyao's body and gasped.
"What the hell is going on? How could Lord Mu do something to you? ”
"It's not the first time, so there's no need to make a fuss." Lu Zhiyao signaled that Lan Ruoyan had nothing to do, and said in a low voice: "I poked him in the sore spot this time, but I can't help it, I always know if he really cares about those two people." Mu Wang Ye has always been worried that the Eighth Prince and I will ruin his quiet life. But things have come to this, even if Lin Yinan and I are killed, his life will not be much better. I think he might have realized this, and that's why he was mad at me. ”
Lan Ruoya rubbed the medicine on Lu Zhiyao, looked at Lu Zhiyao's forbearant expression, and sighed heavily.
"If the master knew that you were so seriously injured, he would definitely not spare us."
"Then don't let him know." Lu Zhiyao got dressed and said with a heavy heart: "Anyway, it's not certain when he will come back, Lord Mu said that he will come to me again later, although I don't know what happened to him, but it won't be a good thing after all, I have to be a little mentally prepared." ”
Lu Zhiyao's expression of helplessness made Lan Ruoya's mood plummet. It's okay to provoke anyone, but this Lin Mubai, she really has no way at all.
"Ruo Aya, go and help me call Xia Han, I have something to ask her."
"Okay, you wait." Lan Ruoyan walked out of the room and brought the words to Xia Han.
Lu Zhiyao watched Xia Han walk timidly in front of her, she pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." ”
Xia Han sat on the chair uneasily, twisting the corners of his clothes with both hands, not daring to look at Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Sister is looking for me...... What's the matter. ”
Over the past few days, Xia Han's "sister" has been called much smoother than at the beginning. Lu Zhiyao had joys and sorrows in her heart, but most of them were happy, at least she didn't reject herself as much as she did at the beginning.
"Xiaohan, do you know how dangerous it is outside now? You don't know martial arts, just run out of the city alone, today you were discovered by Mu Wangye, if you are discovered by Nangong Lingfeng tomorrow, what are you going to do? Could it be that Nangong Lingfeng will be like Mu Wangye, who will send you back because he is troublesome?! ”
Lu Zhiyao thought that Lin Mubai didn't bring Xia Han to King Mu's Mansion today, it must be because he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
"I ......" Xia Han squeaked for a long time, and finally finally told the truth under Lu Zhiyao's questioning. Tomorrow is Brother Liu's birthday, I thought it was nothing, so I wanted to go out of Lu to buy him a gift, but who knew that Lu Dao would meet that person. ”
Lu Zhiyao listened to Xia Han's words and sighed. It turns out that unconsciously, it has come to this time. Xia Han has had a good relationship with Liu Xisheng since he was a child, so Lu Zhiyao couldn't blame Xia Han for anything after listening to her reasons. The Xia family is no longer there, Xia Han has nothing left, she will want to treat the people around her like a family, which may be what Lu Zhiyao should be happy about.
"If you want to do something in the future, come to me to discuss. When you're alone at this time, we can't help but worry, understand? Lu Zhiyao said earnestly: "If something happens to you again, what will Bai Lixuan and the three of them do?" ”
"Xia Han understands that he will never run around again in the future." Xia Han nodded vigorously and assured with a serious face. Lu Zhiyao looked at her and let her leave.
Lin Mubai said that he would come to him, but he did not disclose the specific when. Lu Zhiyao waited uneasily for this master to come, not knowing what his real purpose was to find himself.
Two days passed, and there was no movement. Lu Zhiyao was a little happy at first, but when Lin Mubai woke her up from her sleep and dragged her off the bed, Lu Zhiyao no longer had that kind of unrealistic idea.
