Concubine in power

Lin Yixiang came to the prime minister's residence a few times, which caused Lu Yuanzheng a headache and Lu Zhiqing's heart.

On this day, Lu Zhiyao sent the washed and dried clothes to Lu Zhiqing, and happened to meet Lu Yuanzheng on the way.Lu Yuanzheng looked at the clothes in Lu Zhiyao's arms, frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The clothes I washed for my sister a few days ago are sent to her now."

"Sunny's?"

"En." Lu Zhiyao nodded, seeing Lu Yuanzheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but never said it, she smiled slightly. "Father doesn't have to worry about his daughter."

Lu Zhiyao's words surprised Lu Yuanzheng, and what Lu Zhiyao said next made Lu Yuanzheng's heart jump in the air.

"My daughter doesn't seem happy to see her father these days. Is there something annoying?"

"What do you know?" Lu Yuanzheng asked reflexively, he was caught off guard by Lu Zhiyao's uncharacteristic behavior.

"Daughter just sees that father always frowns, so she just guessed casually, I don't know anything else." Lu Zhiyao bit his lower lip hesitantly, and continued: "Is father worried because of the seventh prince?"

"This...is your guess too?" Lu Yuanzheng's eyes flashed, he looked around cautiously, and asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice.After getting an affirmative reply from Lu Zhiyao, Lu Yuanzheng took a deep breath and said, "Come with me to the study!"

Lu Zhiyao followed Lu Yuanzheng to the study room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Yuanzheng close the door with a slightly nervous expression, and then stared at him intently.

"Father, what's the matter...?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly.

"What do you know? Who do you listen to about the Seventh Prince!" Lu Yuanzheng looked into Lu Zhiyao's eyes with a serious expression, wanting to tell if she was lying.

"My daughter guessed it herself, because when the Seventh Prince and the Prince came to the house last time, Dad's face was not very good. I was there that time, don't you remember? And this time it was the Seventh Prince who came to our house After that, Dad started to sigh. My daughter just said it casually, if Dad is not happy, my daughter will never mention it again in the future!"

Lu Yuanzheng pondered Lu Zhiyao's words carefully. Wasn't it the day when Lin Rong died when the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince came to the mansion?

"Go on, what else did you guess?" After Lu Yuanzheng was silent, he suddenly spoke again, which made Lu Zhiyao's expression very difficult.

"There's nothing else I want to say." Lu Zhiyao's eyes flickered, and he looked down at his shoes uncomfortably.After hearing Lu Yuanzheng growl "You are lying!", Lu Zhiyao looked up at him in horror, and said slowly: "My daughter stays in her room all day, and there is no one to talk to relieve her boredom, so I just I can think wildly about what I can see and hear. The Seventh Prince never took the initiative to come to our mansion before, and he would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. He suddenly came to look for his father one after another. .Father is upset because he doesn't want to agree. If he is even a little shaken, he shouldn't be so sad all day long."

"Come on! Lock her up for me!" Lu Yuanzheng's expression changed suddenly after Lu Zhiyao finished speaking.Yelling at the servant outside the door, Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao sharply, and said to the man: "No one can see her without my permission!"

"My lord, where is it locked? Is it the woodshed?"

"Yes, it's the firewood room!"

Lu Yuanzheng changed his face so quickly that Lu Zhiyao could only sigh in his heart that he was going to suffer again. "Father, what about my sister's clothes?"

"Put it here! Get out!" Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly locked Lu Zhiyao up. No one else should know about the matter between him and the Seventh Prince, but Lu Zhiyao had already guessed something, which made Lu Zhiyao Yuan Zheng had to wonder if she heard what someone said.

As Lu Zhiyao said, Lin Yixiang would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and he came to him recently because he really wanted him to join the prince's faction and support and assist the prince as emperor, but Lu Yuanzheng had a lot of reluctance in his heart.

The prince is too shrewd and cruel in his actions.The reason why many ministers in the DPRK and China have not supported him is also because they are afraid that he will become a tyrant when he ascends the throne in the future.Fortunately, the current emperor is still in good health, and it is not yet time to hand over the throne, so the ministers have never raised anything with the emperor face to face.But Lu Yuanzheng knew that this secret battle had never stopped.

The prince's former confidant, General Xia, died so tragically in the massacre.Outsiders said that he was in collusion with foreign countries in an attempt to rebel and treason, so he deserved to die, but in fact, who could tell what the reason was?Lu Yuanzheng was very afraid that he would become the next Xia Zhenkun, the next chess piece that was used up and discarded...

Lu Zhiyao was imprisoned again without warning. Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong were naturally very happy when the news reached the ears. But apart from being happy, they still wanted to know what Lu Zhiyao had committed. Incorrect.

Lu Yuanzheng brought Lu Zhiqing's clothes over, and Lu Zhiqing smiled awkwardly at Lu Yuanzheng's gloomy gaze, but didn't dare to say anything.Ye Lianrong also knew that she asked Lu Zhiyao to do the laundry, so she didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

"There is no maid around, is there? Or is the current maid not able to wash clothes and needs to be replaced?" Lu Yuanzheng asked in a low voice.Lu Zhiqing didn't do much, but Yuechan who was beside her was terrified.

"Father, I won't do it anymore." Lu Zhiqing bowed his head unwillingly and said, and only raised his head after Lu Yuanzheng left the room.

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhiyao sat on the cold ground, staring at the moon outside the window in a daze.I don't know when Lu Yuanzheng will wait until he releases himself this time. If she has to starve for three days like last time, she will lose a lot.

Just as Lu Zhiyao sighed, she suddenly saw a black shadow passing through the air.Standing up vigilantly from the ground, Lu Zhiyao watched the figure disappear quickly like a ghost, she clenched her fists hard.

Qinggong is so good, who could it be? !Come to Xiangfu so late, what's the matter? !

Lu Zhiyao thought about it until Lu Yuanzheng suddenly appeared.The door was opened, Lu Zhiyao tilted his head and looked at Lu Yuanzheng in surprise, and called out in a low voice: "Father..."

"Are you sure you didn't hear what someone said about today's matter?" Lu Yuanzheng asked straight to the point without saying any other nonsense.

"Father, do you think anyone in our family would be willing to say those things to me? Does anyone have the guts to talk about the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince in secret?" Lu Zhiyao knew what Lu Yuanzheng said.It seems that he came to test himself.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao with complicated emotions. It seemed that he hadn't looked at her so carefully for a long time.After standing for a while, Lu Yuanzheng turned and left.Seeing that the door was locked again, Lu Zhiyao curled his lips and sat back on the ground.

It seems that the dignified Prime Minister is also getting anxious.

"Why are you locked up again?"

An unfamiliar voice rang in Lu Zhiyao's ears, causing her face to change in shock, and she stood up abruptly.After looking around, he found that the person who spoke was standing outside the window, piercing the window paper and staring at her.

"Who are you?!" Lu Zhiyao took two steps back, and he didn't even notice when he appeared, which shows that his martial arts are very high.

Lu Zhiyao's question did not get an answer from that person, and he looked at the other person for a while, and finally, amidst the other party's chuckle, Lu Zhiyao was very annoyed.

The man came and went in a hurry and covered his face, making it impossible for Lu Zhiyao to guess his identity.Is he the figure he saw before?Is it from Lin Yixiang?Did he hear what he and Lu Yuanzheng said?

Lu Zhiyao felt uneasy that the Prime Minister's Mansion was not as peaceful as it seemed.If Lu Yuanzheng disagreed with Lin Yixiang's proposal, he might be in trouble soon.

"Master, I heard that the Seventh Prince is looking for Lu Yuanzheng again." Ling Yi looked at Lin Yinan, who was lying on the bench, closing the curtain, and said worriedly.

"What's the fuss? As long as Lu Yuanzheng doesn't let go, he can't do anything. Unless he kills Lu Yuanzheng and puts his confidant in the position of prime minister. But do you think this is possible?" Lin Yinan slowly opened his eyes , sat up, and drank the medicine placed on the tea table in one gulp. "Even if Lu Yuanzheng agrees, it's fine."

"But if Lu Yuanzheng really helped the prince, then..."

"As I said, I'm not interested in the throne. If Lin Yichen wants to do it, let him do it." A sneer appeared on Lin Yinan's somewhat pale face. "Since ancient times, the emperor has always managed everything, but he often died in the end. Lin Yichen wanted to be the emperor and sit on the throne since he was a child. You and I, Lu Yuanzheng alone, can't stop him. What's more, behind him, And a queen."

"But master, aren't you afraid that the crown prince will harm us when he ascends the throne?" Ling Yi didn't have Lin Yinan's peace of mind, and he couldn't understand how Lin Yinan could be so calm.

"If the person sitting on the throne hears this, your head will be cut off. He won't die for a while, so Lin Yichen can't threaten us. Ling Yi, you have to remember that we should Everything else we do has nothing to do with us."

"Slave understands." Ling Yi nodded emphatically, and then left the room.Standing at the door of Lin Yinan's room for a while, Ling Yi shook his head helplessly, and strode away.

After Ling Yi left, Lin Yinan lay back on the bench.Flipping through the book casually, Lin Yinan thought about what Ling Yi said just now, and suddenly remembered something.

Lin Yichen wanted to be emperor since he was a child, so what about Lin Yixiang?Isn't it the same! ?Lin Yixiang is now by Lin Yichen's side. He said it was for revenge, but once he has revenge, his next move may be to...
