Chapter 79: Joy [Second Watch]
His lips and teeth were entangled, and Lu Zhiyao's breathing gradually became disordered. In the dim and narrow space, Lin Yinan took advantage of it. Lu Zhiyao dragged his clothes with both hands, so as not to be angry and fall down weakly.
"Can't you go back if you don't go back?" Lin Yinan slowly let go of her and asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhiyao shook his head and replied, "You can't throw Xiaoying on the thief ship and leave her alone. β
Lin Yinan smiled helplessly, he had long thought that it would be this kind of answer, he took Lu Zhiyao back to the room, Su Shi looked at the two of them with a sly smile, as if he completely knew what they had just done inside.
"Your Majesty, I'll go out first?" Su Shi stood up and asked Lin Yinan, ready to pour a place for the two.
"No, I'll leave now." Lu Zhiyao answered him instead of Lin Yinan, and walked straight to Su Shi's side, Lu Zhiyao said softly: "I just heard from the two little ghosts that you have taken good care of them during this time, so find a time for me to invite you to a meal, which can be regarded as a thank you, how about it?" β
Su Shi thought for a while, then smiled, moved to the side, and said: "How dare the slave let the master thank you, if you really want to thank you, just give the silver directly, don't bother too much." β
"I don't know if I think it's Chu Ziqian's upper body, Cheng, then I'll give you silver."
Lu Zhiyao's happy agreement made Su Shi even more uneasy. Watching Lu Zhiyao leave the room, Su Shi turned to look at Lin Yinan and asked cautiously, "What happened?" β
"I'm a little tired, you should rest." Lin Yinan directly ignored Su Shi's question, paced and disappeared from Su Shi's sight.
After Lu Zhiyao left, he thought about the place that Lin Yinan told him. He had already set a time for Mo Xiaoying to come back, and Lu Zhiyao arrived there before Mo Xiaoying and Qu Wan'er left, and quickly found the two of them.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Mo Xiaoying saw Lu Zhiyao, she hurriedly stood up and walked to the window, and looked outside cautiously.
"Yo, I still know how to come back." Qu Wan'er sat on the chair, didn't move, and said mockingly to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and answered Mo Xiaoying's question: "I heard that there are people here who are happy, so I came here to take a look." β
As soon as Lu Zhiyao's words were finished, Qu Wan'er's body froze there. Mo Xiaoying reacted, slowly looked at Qu Wan'er, and asked suspiciously, "Are you happy?" β
"yes." Lu Zhiyao paced to the embarrassed Qu Wan'er, deliberately bent over to look at her belly, and then asked with a smile: "Someone still doesn't know the news, right?" β
"Who told you that?!" Qu Wan'er suddenly got up, and Lu Zhiyao quickly dodged back, a little farther away from her. "What did Lin Yinan say?"
"Who stays in the palace today to protect the children? It's a father-in-law surnamed Su, right? Lu Zhiyao did not answer the rhetorical question.
"I know that Lu Dao, Su Shi's big mouth, let him know that Lu Dao must not be good!" Qu Wan'er gritted her teeth, eager to go to Su Shi now and tear his mouth apart.
Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly and said nothing, this matter is really not what Su Shi said. However, she is very satisfied with this result.
Lu Zhiyao walked behind Qu Wan'er again, pressed her shoulders and made her sit down, and then said softly, "Have a good rest, don't make trouble with us." If you have three longs and two shorts, I don't want to live a life of being chased and killed by the Flying Crane Tower. β
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he gave Mo Xiaoying a look. Without waiting for Qu Wan'er to catch her and ask about others, the two ran away one after another.
Qu Wan'er was gearing up and planning to go to Su Shi to settle accounts, but Su Shi, who had never said anything, was in Lin Yinan's bedroom at this time, only to feel a cold wind blowing behind him, making him shudder.
Lu Zhiyao and Mo Xiaoying returned to the palace without danger and went to Xuanyuan Junfan to pick up the child. When Mo Xiaoying went back, she happened to meet Bai Lichen coming out of the house. Frowning slightly, Mo Xiaoying didn't say anything, and after entering the house, he sat there face to face with Xuanyuan Haotian and said, "It's been checked, Chu Ziqian and they are indeed back." β
"Where's the child, have you found it anywhere?" Xuanyuan Haotian asked in a low voice.
"It's not clear, but it's almost certain that it's in this part of the capital. Shall we wait for Mr. Liao to come before we start, or should we start looking for it now? β
"Of course, the sooner you know where the two children are, the better. This time is close to the land, so don't make any mistakes. β
"Okay, I've got it."
After Bai Lichen left, he found the place where Xia Han lived. At this moment, Xia Han was talking to Qingling in the house.
"Brother Qing." Xia Han lay on the table, looked at Qingling with a blank gaze and asked, "If, I mean, if my sister is still alive, will you be happy?" β
Qingling was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Han to ask such a question. Thinking of the trivial things they lived in the Xia Mansion when Xia Yao was alive, Qingling smiled and said, "Of course, the eldest lady has always treated us well. β
"Yes, everyone says she's good, it's good everywhere, there's nothing bad about it." Xia Han also smiled leisurely and said such a sentence.
Qingling felt that Xia Han was a little weird, and she couldn't tell what it was.
"You go back, I'll go to sleep later." Xia Han sat up straight, stretched, and said to Qingling. After Qingling left, she continued to sit there in a daze and think about things until there was a knock on the door.
Xia Han looked at Bai Lichen who appeared in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought I wouldn't come to me." β
What Xia Han had just said to Qingling had already been heard by Bai Lichen outside. Listening to her say this now, I feel that this matter has basically succeeded.
"Then please Miss Xia come with me."
Xia Han followed Bai Lichen and left, and met with Xuanyuan Haotian. There were only two people in the room, she and Xuanyuan Haotian, Xia Han was still a little afraid of this person, she sat on the chair tensely, hung her head, and asked, "Does the emperor really like my sister?" β
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to keep her around."
Xia Han was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Then what is the emperor's good way?" β
Xuanyuan Haotian raised his mouth and smiled. "There are solutions, it depends on whether you are willing to help with this."
"Help." Xia Han nodded affirmatively. "From childhood to adulthood, all the scenery and affairs of the Xia family are hers, I don't care if Lu Zhiyao is my sister Xia Yao or not, I will help with this matter. Because I'm sincere, too. β
"That's good." Xuanyuan Haotian was very satisfied to hear this, which was also expected by him.
Xia Han and Xuanyuan Haotian chatted for about two quarters of an hour, and then they were sent back by Bai Lichen. She didn't sleep well all night, she thought about Xuanyuan Haotian's words over and over again, thinking about Xia Yao, and thinking about Lin Yinan.
Lu Zhiyao has been counting the time when Liao Wuxian arrived in the capital, and since she and Lin Yinan got together in the secret passage, the relationship between the two seems to have become soothing and clear. Lu Zhiyao didn't care much about the strange gaze of Xuanyuan and the others and the ministers, and usually talked and laughed with Lin Yinan, and the contact between the two became more and more frequent.
"Look at you, are you going to leave with me?" Xuanyuan Haotian stopped Lu Zhiyao and asked, "Have you been a little carefree in the past two days?" β
"Since the day the emperor brought me back to the kingdom of Charlai, didn't he think that things would turn out like this?" Lu Zhiyao spoke to him expressionlessly, "I have always said that I am a native of Xialai. Now that I'm back, it's normal not to want to leave. No matter from which point of view, Lin Yinan treats me much better than the emperor. Even if I don't want to go, I should, right? β
"It's one thing whether you want to stay or not, and whether you can stay or not is another thing." Xuanyuan Haotian smiled coldly, which made Lu Zhiyao's heart sink again.
Xuanyuan Haotian and Lin Yinan were talking, and Xuanyuan Junfan also talked to Lin Yinan.
"The emperor seems to think that everything will be settled if the battle is won?" Xuanyuan Junfan raised such a topic. After hearing this, Lin Yinan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued to do his own thing.
"Or else? Anyway, I'm not on the losing side. β
Xuanyuan Junfan smiled silently, and watched Lin Yinan review the excerpt with a leisurely posture and was busy with political affairs.
"You didn't come here to talk to me, did you?" Lin Yinan asked again after a while.
"Indeed, I just think that the emperor seems to have been too close to my unfinished princess recently, so I wanted to come over and warn the emperor."
"Warning?" Lin Yinan asked Xuanyuan Junfan to stop what he was doing, he threw the pen, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Xuanyuan Junfan with his hands on his chest and asked, "You haven't passed the door princess?" Then don't wait for her to come through the door, in this life, it's impossible. β
"It seems that the emperor really likes her, and he would say such a thing." Xuanyuan Junfan and Lin Yinan looked at each other, "But the emperor, you should also know that you are not the only one who likes Lu Zhiyao." I'm here to tell you that Liao Wuxian has arrived in the capital. You two, it's time to be a little more restrained. β
The news that Liao Wuxian had returned, Lin Yinan knew the Tao earlier than Xuanyuan Jun. Xuanyuan Junfan came to give him this news and this letter, which somewhat surprised Lin Yinan.
"Then should I thank you?"
"It's good that the emperor has this thought." Xuanyuan Junfan had no intention of staying longer, and after saying what he should have said, he walked out of the study and left.
Liao Wuxian was very annoyed because he was put on a stand by Lin Yinan. But he didn't immediately enter the palace to settle the account, he first found a place to stay, and then found out that there were a few people secretly monitoring and following him, trying to find an opportunity to deal with them first.
Xuanyuan Junfan and Lin Yinan both knew that Liao Wuxian was back, and Lu Zhiyao was no exception. The ease of a few days disappeared completely, and Lu Zhiyao remained vigilant at all times, feeling that Liao Wuxian seemed to appear at any time.
Lu Zhiyao also handed over Shen Xing and Liluo to Lin Yinan, and now here, he is the only one who can make her trust. Hiding several children in a safe place, Lu Zhiyao was ready to face Liao Wuxian who would meet again.
