Chapter 117: Pinched

Lu Zhiyao's dark eyes flashed with panic, and he uncomfortably wanted to move two steps to the side, but Lin Yinan didn't let her get her wish. The warm hand climbed up Lu Zhiyao's waist to stop Lu Zhiyao's move, and the corners of Lin Yinan's lips with a smile made Lu Zhiyao indifferent. As soon as he raised his eyes, he could see himself in Lin Yinan's eyes. Breathing is also only within reach. Lin Yinan whispered to her, and the intimate gesture made Lu Zhiyao feel for the first time that it took courage to talk to him closely.

The movements of the two were unsurprisingly also seen by Lu Yuanzheng and Lin Yixiang who came over there, Lu Zhiyao only wanted to distance himself from Lin Yinan, and when she came back to her senses, Lin Yixiang and Ye Lianrong were already standing in front of her.

Lin Yinan slowly withdrew his hand, stood beside Lu Zhiyao, glanced at Ye Lianrong lightly, and then looked at Lin Yixiang.

"Eighth brother looks good, it seems that this time you returned to Beijing early, it is not without reason." Lin Yixiang looked at Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao with a meaningful smile, and his thoughts were still stuck in the surprise that Lin Yinan had just brought him. He and Lin Yinan grew up together, and Lin Yinan is so close to women, Lin Yixiang is the first time he has seen him. This made Lin Yixiang also worried about how Lin Yinan would react if he knew about it.

"It's natural to be in a good mood, but it's you, Brother Seven, why don't you seem to be resting." Lin Yinan asked knowingly, and after provoking Lin Yixiang and Ye Lianrong's expressions to be a little wrong, he said leisurely: "But it's right to think about it, as a celebrity around the prince, how can you live an idle and idle life like me every day." ā€

The conversation between Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang made outsiders sound like they were not talking at all. The few people present all had their own thoughts, Lu Zhiyao was thinking, what Lin Yinan just said to help her, and Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong had their own worries and fears.

"Do you plan to leave this time?"

"Let's go, but I'll have to wait a while, and I'll go back after I've dealt with some things."

Lin Yinan's answer aroused everyone's curiosity, what did he mean by what he said? Every time Lin Yinan went out of Beijing, he was escorted by someone personally arranged by the emperor. With such a toss, does the emperor have no opinion?

"Could it be that the eighth brother came back because of the distance?" Lin Yixiang asked jokingly, no, but Lin Yinan did not deny it.

Lin Yinan smiled lightly, he didn't want to answer Lin Yixiang's meaning, but he didn't have a posture to avoid. Lu Zhiyao was a little innocent and endured the stares projected by Lin Yixiang and the others, and muttered secretly in his heart, these eight princes really like to joke about her more and more.

"Xiangye, I have something to say with my eighth brother, you can step back first."

Lin Yixiang's words made Lu Yuanzheng breathe a sigh of relief, he nodded, and planned to leave with Ye Lianrong. But before he could take a few steps, he heard Lin Yinan's voice behind him.

"The second lady stays, I still have something to say to you."

Lin Yinan asked Ye Lianrong to stay by name, Ye Lianrong stopped suddenly, her heart sank, and she reluctantly turned to look at Lin Yinan. Lu Yuanzheng also turned his head and frowned to look at Lin Yinan, not knowing what he meant.

Lin Yinan smiled lightly, looked at Ye Lianrong's nervous expression and said, "I heard that Zhiyao was not feeling well a few days ago, and the second lady specially invited Imperial Doctor Su to come to the house to diagnose her pulse, I wonder if Imperial Physician Su can see it, what is wrong with Zhiyao?" ā€

Lin Yinan took the initiative to mention this matter, which Lu Zhiyao didn't expect. How could he have known about this?

"It's not a big deal." Ye Lianrong answered Lin Yinan's question with a stiff expression.

"Really?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some disbelief: "Then why did Prince Mu come to me yesterday and say that he heard some rumors about the distance from the mouths of the people in the Taiyi Palace?" In this matter, does the second lady know what is going on in Lu Dao? ā€

Although Lin Yinan's voice is not loud, it has a spirit that people cannot ignore and resist. Ye Lianrong and the others, including Lin Yixiang, suddenly changed their faces, Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly turned around and walked in front of Lin Yinan, and said with a smile: "Eighth Prince, you may have misunderstood some things. ā€

"I also know that there are some rumors that I can't believe, so I came to the second lady today to ask for clarification. I've already met with Imperial Doctor Su, and he also told me something, I want to hear what the second lady has to say. ā€

"Eighth brother, Uncle Huang also knows about this?"

The smile on Lin Yinan's face disappeared completely, he didn't look at Lin Yixiang, nor did he answer Lin Yixiang's question, he just stared at Ye Lianrong quietly, making Ye Lianrong more and more weak, and at the very end, he felt like he wanted to break the jar.

Lu Yuanzheng has been the prime minister for so many years, and he has never been so embarrassed as now. Standing there with a gloomy face, he finally couldn't help but open his mouth and said loudly: "Didn't you hear what the Eighth Prince asked you!" ā€

Ye Lianrong was stunned by Lu Yuanzheng's roar, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao with resentment. Lu Zhiyao is standing next to Lin Yinan, and things have developed to this point, even if she is stupid, she can see that Lin Yinan wants to help him. But......

Lin Yinan turned his head and looked at Lu Zhiyao. "If the second lady doesn't say it, then you tell me what's going on."

In this case, the most important thing Lu Zhiyao should do should be to complain to her father and the two princes with tears in her eyes. And in normal times, Lu Zhiyao thinks that she will definitely enter the state and act vividly. But now, Lin Yinan is standing in front of her, accompanying her in this scene seriously, for some reason, Lu Zhiyao doesn't even have the slightest emotion to cry, which makes her feel annoyed.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan, and then at Ye Lianrong over there, and lowered his eyes weakly and bit his lower lip. Trying hard to brew her emotions, when Lu Zhiyao was thinking about whether to think of something to make herself cry, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist!

Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao stood side by side, he looked at Lu Zhiyao's entangled appearance, and quietly touched Lu Zhiyao's waist with his left hand.

Lu Zhiyao gasped, and was pinched by Lin Yinan, and his eyes immediately turned red. With her eyes wide open, when Lu Zhiyao saw the expression on Lin Yinan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she gritted her teeth and wrote down the account for him.

Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward and walked a little farther away from Lin Yinan. Looking at a few people with tears in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao said aggrievedly: "I thought that the rumor would slowly disappear in a few days, but I didn't want to, the more trouble it gets, even Lord Mu knows it." The Seven Princes and the Eight Princes, Zhi Yao thinks that he can sit upright, so this matter, please make decisions for me, and you must find out! ā€

As soon as Ye Lianrong heard Lu Zhiyao's words, she felt that she had a tendency to want the wicked to sue first, so she quickly knelt down and said, "I also have something to say." ā€

Lin Yinan's actions made people have to suspect that he wanted to tear his face with the prince's faction. Otherwise, such ugly things can be solved by outsiders behind their backs and in private with Lin Yixiang. But now in front of the outsider of the landing expedition, he wants to figure things out, which even Lin Yixiang didn't expect. And Ye Lianrong, as a member of the prince's faction, also knew in her heart at this time that she should say something and not say anything. At this time, she must not tear Lin Yixiang out, as for Lu Zhiyao's pregnancy, she can say it first, first, to prove that what she said is not a lie, and second, she can also push the matter on Su Changfei, saying that he spread the matter.

"I came to Su Changfei to see him, I really just wanted to take a look at his body. She couldn't eat at every turn a few days ago, and her face was not as good as before, and my lord and I were very worried about her, so I asked my brother to find Dr. Su, who had treated my father before. But the truth of the matter surprised us all. ā€

"Go on, what's the surprise?" Lin Yinan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

"Eighth brother, let's go back and talk about this!" Lin Yixiang couldn't help but interject and said with a frown.

"She's not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Lin Yinan glanced at Lu Zhiyao, who was kneeling there, and was still trying to act, asked Lin Yixiang. The sly light in Lu Zhiyao's eyes inadvertently also made Lin Yinan feel more confident, and he came to accompany her to play this scene with the mentality of watching the excitement.

"I—I don't dare to say it." Ye Lianrong shook her head, Lu Zhiyao's words that she was pregnant kept blocking her throat and eyes, making her uncomfortable. She really wanted to tell everything without any scruples, so that this dead girl would never have a chance to go against her again. But she was even more afraid that once she said everything, even if Lu Zhiyao was ruined in the future, Lu Yuanzheng would not treat her like before. This contradictory mood constantly tormented Ye Lianrong, and finally, under Lin Yinan's anger, Ye Lianrong gritted her teeth and said.

"This kid is so ignorant, it's a shame that her father and I still believed in her so much before, and didn't believe the gossip outside!" Ye Lianrong glanced at Lu Zhiyao with a look of being deceived, "Imperial Physician Su said that day, Zhiyao's various performances are all because she has a happy pulse. I was terrified, but who is Imperial Doctor Su? How could he be wrong? So I had to take the money and send him away, and told him again and again not to tell anyone about it. I don't want to, he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, please remember the hard work of our master for the sake of serving the court over the years, spare me this time! ā€

Lu Yuanzheng was frightened by Ye Lianrong's words, and he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you haven't been out of the cabinet yet, how can there be a happy pulse!" ā€
