Chapter 12: Threats

It was getting late, and Lu Zhiyao was quietly reading a book in the room. When he came back from Lu Yuanzheng during the day, Lu Zhiyao did not go to other places, but went directly back to his residence. But for Lu Zhiqing's condition, Lu Zhiyao still heard some rumors.

In the dead of night, it was supposed to be a time to rest quietly, but at this time, Lu Zhiyao had no sleep.

There was a gentle knock on the door, Lu Zhiyao rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Come in." ”

Yudie, who came as agreed, stood in front of Lu Zhiyao with a solemn face. Looking at Lu Zhiyao, who was smiling and silent, Yudie was a little out of breath. "What the hell did you do?!"

"You should have guessed it, didn't you?" Lu Zhiyao squinted slightly, and motioned for Yudie to sit down and speak. "Let's not talk about it, but I have a few questions for you. Yudie, how do you know the ingredients of the mosquito coil? ”

"Since I was a child, I have followed my mother to buy things and deliver food to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I often go in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You are often injured by the second lady and the second lady, my mother saw that you were pitiful, so she asked us to go to the mountains to pick some herbs and come back for you to use, and I was afraid that we were picking poison, so I asked me to go to the pharmacy in the city to ask people. But I came and went, I didn't buy medicine but often bothered people, and the people in the pharmacy didn't want to see me anymore. Fortunately, I met an elderly man on the mountain, and he taught me a lot of things. ”

Yu Die's answer made Lu Zhiyao feel a lot of relief, it seems that this Yu Die is not only smart and clever, but also a maid who knows some medical skills.

"Second Miss's illness, is it really you?" After Yu Die answered, she couldn't wait to ask.

"That's right, it's me." Lu Zhiyao changed his denial during the day, and said happily: "For a person with skin allergies, it is very simple to make her unable to get out of the house in this season. The mosquito coil was brought to me by your sister, so if you reveal this matter, Wanyue won't be able to escape, you know it in your heart. ”

Lu Zhiyao calmly threatened Yudie, and continued: "As you said, mosquito coils are made from a mixture of rosin powder, mugwort powder, tobacco leaf powder, a small amount of arsenic and sulfur. Just a little bit of these things, plus other pollen, sprinkled into the water in which her clothes were soaked and left overnight. For our delicate second lady, these clothes that directly touch her sensitive and fragile skin are deadly. She should thank me because I was already using very little of it. ”

"How did you know she had skin allergies? What do you do with the smell on your clothes? Yudie frowned.

"Isn't that simpler? For so many years, she has always had the same scent on her body, even when she goes to her room. According to her temperament, if she can't stand it, she will definitely keep looking for better things to use on herself, and that faint aroma is completely inconsistent with her temper. As for the smell on her clothes, as long as she dries it and smokes it with the sachet she usually carries on weekdays, it can hide people's ears and eyes. She wouldn't put those clothes on right away, and she wouldn't smell them after a long time in her room. ”

The truth of the matter made Yu Die feel a little chill down her spine, she really couldn't imagine that Lu Zhiyao, who had always seemed weak, would come up with such a solution. Lu Zhiqing's current appearance, Yu Die saw it once by chance. It should be that Lu Zhiqing couldn't stand holding back in the house, so he went to the yard to breathe, but was soon pushed into the house by Ye Lianrong.

Yudie didn't stand too far, so she could clearly see the dense red rashes on Lu Zhiqing's face and neck, and as for the body that couldn't be seen, Yudie thought it would definitely not be much better. Skin allergies are not only unsightly on the surface, but also accompanied by symptoms such as itching, which is definitely a difficult moment for Lu Zhiqing. And it is just now the season of allergies, and Lu Zhiyao was locked up by the master at that time, so who would suspect her?!

"Why do you want to tell me the truth?" Yudie swallowed her saliva, regretting that she had come here.

"You asked yourself, didn't you?" Lu Zhiyao saw Yudie's regret, but unfortunately, she was not ready to let her go like this. "Yudie, you, your sister and your mother, have not had a good time in the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years, right?"

"We are slaves, we can't talk about whether it's good or not, it's all fate."

"Really? Then if your sister gets into trouble one day because of her irritable temper and is beaten to death by the second lady and the second lady, this is also fate? My life is not worth much, you must know that your life is even less valuable. I still have the surname 'Lu' on my head, even if they don't want to admit it, but I am also a member of the Lu family. But what about you? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say? What are you looking for me? Yudie stood up vigilantly and took two steps back, widening some distance from Lu Zhiyao.

"Why are you so nervous? There are no outsiders here. I just haven't talked to anyone in a long time, so I just want to talk to someone. Lu Zhiyao shifted his gaze from Yu Die's body and lowered his eyes, not wanting Yu Die to have too much pressure and fear. Yudie, I just want to ask you, are you willing to come to my side and be my personal maidservant? ”

"Yudie is a slave, how the master arranges, the slave will do it."

"Very well, I just like obedient minions." Lu Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction, raising his eyes to meet Yudie's eyes. "But as my minion, you have to know what you're going to do. I'll tell you right now, I don't have any other purpose, all I want is to get rid of Ye Lianrong. ”

Yu Die gasped after Lu Zhiyao said this! She looked at Lu Zhiyao with a calm face in horror, clenched her fists nervously, and didn't dare to breathe.

"I'm not afraid that you will tell you about our conversation today, and I believe that no one will believe what you say. I'll tell you again why I want to get rid of her. Because she killed my mother and my brother, I have to avenge this revenge. Lu Zhiyao said the shocking secret word by word. What do you think, what would Ye Lianrong do if she knew about it? Your mother and your sister...... What will happen? ”

Lu Zhiyao deliberately wanted to drag himself into the water! Yu Die realized that something was wrong, but there was no way out.

"What the hell do you want to do? You're not the eldest lady, who are you! ”

"I am Lu Zhiyao, you know it in your heart. I've told you everything I want to do, and as long as you listen to me, I can keep your family alive and sound. Lu Zhiyao slowly got up and approached the rain butterfly. The weird smile on the corner of her mouth made Yudie a little scared.

"Y-What do you do to protect us? You don't even ...... yourself."

"Yes, I didn't even have the ability to protect myself before, but now, it's different." Lu Zhiyao forced Yudie into a corner with nowhere to escape, and lay in her ear, Lu Zhiyao whispered: "You saw it with your own eyes that day, didn't you?" Yuechan and those maids. ”

"Was it you that day?!" Yudie's eyes widened suddenly, and the truth of the matter surprised her again and again.

"That's right, that's me. Yudie, I have suffered for so many years, just to avenge my mother, I need your help. ”

Lu Zhiyao said everything that should be said, and he was not so domineering to force Yudie. Sighing lightly, Lu Zhiyao told Yudie that she could leave. But Yudie didn't rush out of this room as she did just now.

Yudie was very afraid, afraid that if she didn't agree to Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao would do something. The second lady thing is just the beginning, isn't it? Yu Die didn't know anything about the death of the eldest lady and the young master back then, but when Lu Zhiyao said this now, she couldn't escape from this matter. If he didn't participate, Lu Zhiyao would be desperate one day and tell himself, and the second lady would also execute herself. There is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, what should she do?

Yudie thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of an answer. Having a complicated mood, she glanced at Lu Zhiyao, who seemed to be in a good mood, Yudie lowered her head, walked out of the room slowly, and disappeared into the dark night.

After Yudie left, Lu Zhiyao sat back in his place and flipped through the book. But the heart is not in this book.

Ye Lianrong or Lin Yixiang. From now on, as long as it stands in her way, she will get rid of it all. She will also take back everything she once lost.

Those who helped Lin Yixiang kill their Xia family, those who tried to destroy their innocence in the dungeon, every face, she remembered in her heart and would never forget.

Ye Lianrong dares to be so arrogant now, not entirely because she is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the only lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the bigger reason is probably because of her maiden family.

Ye Lianrong's father, Ye Zhihua, is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials, and Ye Lianrong's brother is also an official in the Ministry of Officials. The reason why Lu Zhiyao knew this was because she had seen Ye Zhihua before, and she also knew that Ye Zhihua was also a loyal dog by the prince's side.

Lu Zhiyao thought that Ye Zhihua had never done anything out of the ordinary for so many years, and he didn't seem to expect much to do in the future. After the crown prince ascends the throne, let him be a minister, will he be able to block his mouth and keep his heart?

The power of the Ministry of Officials is very great, and the appointment and dismissal, assessment, and promotion of officials must go through the Ministry of Officials, so although Ye Zhihua is not the most calculated, there are still those who want to pass him and buy themselves an official position. Look at Ye Lianrong's jewels all day long, does this Prime Minister really have those extra money for her to squander? Lu Yuanzheng knew that the people around him were on the side of the prince, but he refused to bow his head, what kind of reason would make him so worried?

Lu Zhiyao slammed the book, turned off the lights and went to bed to rest. As long as she doesn't die for a day, she will have a lot of time to find them out and bring them down. She picked up this life for nothing, and she didn't care if it was gone. All she cared about was when she could find out why Lin Yixiang suddenly repented of killing her whole family, and when she would be able to kill Lin Yixiang, the beast with a human face and a beast's heart.
