Chapter 4: Entering the Palace
Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan looked at each other, and hurriedly reached out to block their bodies, for fear that his eyes would be looking around.
Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao's reaction in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said softly: "I saw it last night, and now I come to cover it, don't you think it's a little late?" ”
Lin Yinan's words hooked up all the pictures about last night in Lu Zhiyao's memories. Lowering his head and gritting his teeth, Lu Zhiyao's ears were red, which made Lin Yinan look pleasing to the eye, and decided not to provoke her anymore.
"The clothes are in the cupboard, go get them yourself." Lin Yinan said with a smile in his eyes, and then lay down lazily, "I'll get up later." ”
Lu Zhiyao watched Lin Yinan turn his back to him, glared at him for a long time, and saw that he really didn't intend to peep at him, so he jumped out of bed, picked up the closest piece of clothing to him and draped it on his body, ran to the wardrobe to find a set of clothes, and hurriedly put them on.
Quietly glancing at the person on the bed, Lu Zhiyao walked slowly to the bed, picked up all the clothes on the ground, put them at the head of the bed, and then walked to the outhouse. When she saw the room next to her that she had never entered, Lu Zhiyao walked in suspiciously, but her footsteps stopped the moment she just stepped in.
The familiar scene made Lu Zhiyao stunned. His gaze slowly swept over every corner of the room, every furnishing, and suddenly, the emotion of wanting to cry surged up, catching Lu Zhiyao off guard.
Lin Yinan had been to the General's Mansion in Lincheng, entered her room, and had seen her secret room. The huge bookcase was filled with books that I didn't know what kind of books I didn't know, the piano stand against the wall, the long desk in the center of the room, everything was so familiar.
Lu Zhiyao leaned on the door frame and looked at the picture in front of him stupidly. A warm current swirls in the heart, and slowly swims through the whole body of Lu Yao. With a gentle smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed, Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look in the direction where Lin Yinan was, then took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
Wanyue and Yudie, who were guarding the courtyard, looked over in unison as soon as they heard the sound of the door being opened. looked straight at Lu Zhiyao, and the two of them ran over and stood beside her.
"Miss, are you awake, are you hungry?" Wanyue asked with a flattering smile, her eyes drifted to the door, and she lowered her voice a little, and asked, "The Eighth Prince hasn't woken up yet?" ”
"Where does all this nonsense come from?" Lu Zhiyao could guess what was going on in her head from Wanyue's ill-intentioned eyes, her face turned red, and she said sharply: "I'm hungry, go get some food, and I'll go into the palace with the Eighth Prince to see the emperor later." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Wanyue smiled and turned to leave. Yudie also glanced at Lu Zhiyao with a smile, and walked away after Wanyue.
Lu Zhiyao looked at his two eventful maids and sighed. There were originally few minions in the Eight Emperors' Mansion, so Lu Zhiyao took the two of them with him, and by the way, he also asked Chang Manting over. Otherwise, in the future, Ye Lianrong will definitely find trouble with them.
Yudie brought water and asked Lu Zhiyao to finish washing. Drawing delicate makeup for Lu Zhiyao, Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao's increasingly good-looking appearance, and couldn't help but think of her yellow and thin face back then, and she fainted in the small courtyard with hunger.
After Lu Zhiyao left, Lin Yinan sat up lazily. After getting dressed, he raised his hand to collect the wedding clothes of the two and wanted to put them in the cabinet. Staring at the red on the bed faintly, Lin Yinan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.
When Lin Yinan walked to the outhouse, Lu Zhiyao was sitting by the window, talking to Yudie with his head sideways. After hearing his footsteps, Lu Zhiyao hurriedly looked back at him, a trace of panic was fleeting from her eyes, Lu Zhiyao pretended to be calm, sat there with a decent appearance, and said, "You woke up." ”
Lin Yinan snorted lightly, still as usual, calmly what to do, what to say, what to say. This made Lu Zhiyao wonder if the man who was in bed with her last night was him, and on the other hand, he was reviewing his uncomposure.
After eating something, the two of them planned to enter the palace. Lu Zhiyao looked up at the sky and asked Lin Yinan in a low voice, "It's all this time, the emperor won't blame, right?" ”
"No, it won't. As long as he can go, he won't say anything. Lin Yinan glanced at Lu Zhiyao and replied.
sat in a sedan chair and staggered into the palace. Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan's side slightly nervously, until he saw Lin Yunlong and Nangong Liuxi.
As in memory, the queen is still so graceful and gorgeous, and the emperor is still so angry and powerful. Lu Zhiyao thought about the last time he saw the two, or he entered the palace instead of Lu Zhiqing to choose the crown princess, but he didn't expect that this time, he had become the eighth princess.
A very calm conversation, no surprises and no danger, Lu Zhiyao can follow Lin Yinan back. After Lu Zhiyao walked out of the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, and met Lin Yinan's puzzled gaze, Lu Zhiyao smiled: "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I'm a little nervous." ”
"Do you want to go to Lin Yixiang's place to have a look, and let's go back?" Lin Yinan whispered for the opinion of the landing distance. Lu Zhiyao looked at his calm expression and guessed what he meant in his heart. But thinking about it again, Lu Zhiqing is there now, it's okay to be angry with her by yourself.
Lu Zhiyao raised his chin and nodded, smiled childishly, and said, "Okay, let's go home later." ”
Lu Zhiyao's inadvertently said the word "go home", which made Lin Yinan a little happy. took her to Lin Yixiang's palace, and halfway through, Lin Yinan asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice: "Do you know the origin of the guard who followed Lin Yixiang?" ”
Lu Zhiyao thought about it, the person Lin Yinan said, should be the person who sent her to the dungeon before, and the last time she sneaked into the palace, she also followed Lin Yixiang. Although they have met a few times, she really doesn't know the origin of the other party. Before the Xia family was defeated, Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yixiang had a good relationship, at least they looked good on the surface, and in everyone's eyes, they were a talented and beautiful couple. But the things and people around Lin Yixiang never took the initiative to introduce Lu Zhiyao, maybe because he felt that it had nothing to do with her. In short, not as generous as Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan shook his head when he saw Lu Zhiyao, so he talked to her about Shi Ziyuan while walking. "He has been with Lin Yixiang for five or six years, and his skills are not particularly good, but he has a lot of ideas, not reckless, you are in front of him, it is best not to show any horses."
"How do you know that I will make a move in front of him?" Lu Zhiyao frowned, squinted at Lin Yinan and asked.
"Aren't you going to deal with Jiang Wei? Jiang Wei is now a celebrity next to the prince, so you can move if you say it. Lin Yinan saw through Lu Zhiyao's careful thoughts, but he didn't intend to stop it. Remember to remind me when I go back in a while, and tell you about General Xia. ”
Lin Yinan's words made Lu Zhiyao's eyes light up, and he couldn't wait to be in the Eight Emperors Mansion now, let him speak clearly. The two walked slowly, and after a while, they arrived at the place where Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing were. It just so happened that Lin Yixiang didn't go out of the way, they were all here, Lu Zhiyao looked at the woman behind Lin Yixiang, and a faint smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Have you seen your father?" Lin Yixiang looked at Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan, ignored Lu Zhiqing on the side, and sat down directly to talk to the two.
"I've seen it, and Zhiyao said that he wanted to come and have a look, so he stopped by this way."
Lin Yinan's words drew the attention of several people to Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and smiled unhurriedly, and then looked at Lu Zhiqing leisurely and said, "It's just that I haven't seen the Seventh Imperial Concubine for some days, so I thought about coming and seeing." ”
After listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, Lu Zhiqing immediately sneered and smiled. Whether she came to see herself, or whether she deliberately came to show off in front of herself, is already clear.
"You're going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, right?" Lin Yixiang glanced at Lu Zhiqing sideways, his eyes deepened a little, and he continued to ask. After seeing Lin Yinan nodded, he proposed softly: "Otherwise, I will take Zhiqing back tomorrow?" ”
"How dare you bother the Seven Princes and the Seven Imperial Concubines to accompany you." Lu Zhiyao interjected, extinguishing the flame that had just risen in Lu Zhiqing's heart. "I will go back to the house tomorrow morning with the Eighth Emperor to take a look, but it seems that the Seventh Imperial Concubine has not gone back to see Erniang for a long time, right?"
Lu Zhiyao intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Ye Lianrong, which tickled Lu Zhiqing's teeth. Since Lu Zhiyao's fake pregnancy happened, Lin Yixiang has been trapped in this courtyard by Lu Zhiqing, unable to enter or leave, let alone allow her to have contact with the Ye family. Lu Zhiqing had already scolded Lu Zhiyao thousands of times in her heart, and now seeing Lu Zhiyao talking to her about this matter so carelessly, Lu Zhiqing's body almost trembled with anger.
has suffered so many losses in the hands of Lu Zhiyao, so Lu Zhiqing has also learned some skills of seeing people, talking about people, and talking about ghosts. With a smile on his face, he secretly gritted his teeth. Lu Zhiqing laughed with her, looking at Lu Zhiyao with hatred and murderous intent hidden in her eyes, until Lu Zhiyao showed off enough in front of her and left with Lin Yinan, she realized that her palms had been picked by her nails.
After Lu Zhiyao left Lin Yixiang, he was silent all the way. After returning to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lin Yinan asked with a smile: "The person you want to see has also seen it, are you not happy?" ”
"Why haven't you seen Xia Han and them for the past two days?" Lu Zhiyao didn't answer the rhetorical question, looked at the direction where Xia Han had been living, and asked Lin Yinan.
"You and I are getting married, and idle people are indispensable. It's not safe for them to stay here, and I'm also worried that Liu Xisheng and the others will not be able to help but make a move after seeing some people, so I asked Ling Yi to send them away first, and after a few days, they will all be picked up and delivered to you unharmed. ”
