Concubine in power

Lin Yinan's probing eyes gradually became sharper, which made Lu Zhiyao feel that there was nowhere to escape.Uncomfortably withdrawing the hand held by Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao's breathing became a little cautious.

"It's no wonder you want to marry me. It turned out that this kind of calculation was made on me." Lin Yinan said something with a half-smile. Although Lu Zhiyao felt uncomfortable, he knew in his heart that he couldn't say anything.She has no position or qualification to say anything, because from the beginning, all she wanted was to use Lin Yinan.

"If the eighth prince regrets it, he can go to the emperor to annul the engagement." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and whispered slowly.

"Abolished?" Lin Yinan was a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhiyao's proposal, "It took so much effort to ask for it, how can you just abolish it?"

Asked for...?

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan with a slightly dazed expression, not understanding what he meant.

Seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused expression, Lin Yinan's eyes moved slightly, and he stopped mentioning this matter.The two stood facing each other. For Lu Zhiyao in front of him, Lin Yinan had a feeling that if he didn't restrain her, she would cause even more trouble.

What Lu Zhiyao said, Lin Yinan couldn't be sure whether it was true or not.But no matter whether she was Xia Yao or Lu Zhiyao, what Lin Yinan couldn't deny was that this girl was indeed a bit smart and courageous enough.Otherwise, this situation would not happen now.But……

Lin Yinan estimated the time, and asked softly, "Do you know why the prince wants to get rid of the Xia family?"

Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Lin Yinan to ask this question suddenly, with a murderous look in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao replied coldly: "Because the Nangong family also wants that military power?"

"Then what about collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Lin Yinan shook his head, rejecting Lu Zhiyao's guess. "Even if the Nangong family doesn't have the military power of the Xia family, they are already strong enough. General Xia died only because he knew something he shouldn't know."

"What's the matter?!" Lu Zhiyao couldn't help asking.

Lin Yinan didn't answer Lu Zhiyao's question immediately, but turned his head to look at the environment he was in. Lin Yinan raised the corners of his mouth in a tricky manner, and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Jiang Wei will definitely send someone here to investigate, let's go, let outsiders see you and me Here, it’s hard to explain.”

Lu Zhiyao's throat was full of questions, but she couldn't ask. Seeing Lin Yinan's complacent and deliberate expression, she gritted her teeth, followed behind him without saying anything.After the two of them saw Liu Xisheng who came to meet them and was taken to the secret room by Liu Xisheng, Lu Zhiyao looked around nervously. After meeting Lin Yinan's line of sight, Lu Zhiyao went to the corner and sat down. Down, bowed his head in silence.

Even she herself hadn't entered this secret room for a while.It was originally who pestered Xia Zhenkun when she was a child, saying that she had too many "treasures" and didn't want to be robbed by her elder brother and sister, so she asked him to build a treasure house for her, but she never expected that Xia Zhenkun actually agreed.Recalling how unscrupulous I was at that time.

"Your lady, can you play the piano?" Lin Yinan asked with interest after scanning the things in the room.

"Our young lady is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing the piano is no problem." Qingling answered Lin Yinan's question with a hint of pride. She was still a little uncomfortable with Lin Yinan and them hiding from Jiang Wei's pursuers here.Before that, they had no chance to get in touch with the Eighth Prince at close range, and they didn't think it would be the first time under such circumstances.

"Everyone is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Lin Yinan repeated mutteringly, then glanced over there meaningfully, and said to himself not long ago, she knows Lu Zhiyao as well as Xia Yao. "By the way, since your Xia Mansion has such a secret room, why did only a few of you survive?" Lin Yinan changed the subject abruptly, and the people who asked did not respond immediately.

"No chance." After the silence, Bai Lixuan replied with a heavy tone.Such a disaster was not foreseen by anyone in advance.Moreover, at that time, all the enemies concentrated their forces around Xia Zhenkun and Xia Tian, ​​completely denying them the chance to escape.It was precisely because the other party wanted to put the two of them to death that they ignored Bai Lixuan and the others, allowing them to survive.As for the madam and the second young lady, they were captured directly from the capital, and they couldn't even get close to this room.

After listening to Bai Lixuan's answer, Lin Yinan asked again: "You guys failed to kill Jiang Wei this time, and escaped the catastrophe. So in the future, you will follow Jiang Wei back to Beijing and continue to act?"

Bai Lixuan and the others looked at each other. For a person like Lin Yinan who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, they shouldn't reveal their next plan.So they said something perfunctorily, without thinking it over, but Lin Yinan unexpectedly provoked a chuckle.

"Don't you guys want to go back to Beijing to meet Xia Han?"

The word Xia Han that came out of Lin Yinan's mouth made Bai Lixuan's eyes widen in surprise. Lin Yinan looked at their unbelievable appearance, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao with a troubled expression over there, a little curious Why didn't she say it.If the three of them didn't know that Xia Han was still alive, then what method did Lu Zhiyao use to make them trust her and agree to her acting with them?

"It seems that Miss Lu hasn't told you that she saved Xia Han."

Lu Zhiyao met the eyes of several people, but had no choice but to confess. "I'm afraid that Xia Han is in danger, and I'm also afraid that they, who only want to take revenge now, will go to the Eight Emperors' Mansion to spoil your good deed."

They just want revenge, what about you?

Lin Yinan didn't ask what he wanted to ask.Looking at the different expressions on the faces of the people around him, Lin Yinan sighed leisurely, and said something that shocked them immensely.

"Some things, I think I have to let you know today. Otherwise, you will die in such a muddleheaded way. I'm afraid that someone will complain that I failed to stop you." When Lin Yinan was speaking, his eyes seemed to be Nothing flitted across Lu Zhiyao's face. "General Xia's death was not accidental. Traitors like Jiang Wei must also be eliminated, but definitely not now. You three, Bai Lixuan, Liu Xisheng, and Qing Leng, I know that you are all beloved generals by General Xia's side. General Xia belongs to Xia Lai Kingdom. This is a fact that no one can deny. His death, not only you, I think many people will not sit idly by."

"Does it also include the Eighth Prince?"

When Lin Yinan heard this, the smile on his lips deepened.Lu Zhiyao looked at the gaze projected from him, his heart sank, but he also looked at him stubbornly.

"What kind of answer do you want to hear from me?" Lin Yinan asked calmly, his soft tone made Lu Zhiyao feel a little chill on his back.

"I went back to Xuncheng this time because of you guys." Without waiting for Lu Zhiyao to speak, Lin Yinan continued: "I can't go back to the capital during this time, but I don't want you to do anything to Jiang Wei again. Now The masters around Jiang Wei, even if I don't tell you, you can all feel that they are not so easy to deal with. You are all people who have fought with General Xia for many years. Revenge can be done overnight? What if If you are really in a hurry to die, then choose a place where no one is around, or... don't let her know. It will save me having to rush back from thousands of miles, in case my untrained lady follows you and cause some trouble .”

Lin Yinan's gaze fell steadily on Lu Zhiyao's body, making Lu Zhiyao have nowhere to escape even if he wanted to.Listening to his words, for some reason, Lu Zhiyao always felt a little weird.

"Zhiyao, take them back to Beijing tomorrow and arrange them in my residence."

Lin Yinan's decision made Lu Zhiyao and the others look at him in unison.What does he mean by this, can he know clearly?

"Eighth Prince, the three of us are now outlaws. If someone finds out that we are in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, then you..."

"Since you have such concerns, then stay in my mansion honestly, and don't let anyone find out what you are doing. Jiang Wei's matter, after I return to Beijing, I will help you. But during this time Here, you better not cause me any trouble. Especially you, Lu Zhiyao. You are the most troublesome one among all of them. "

Lin Yinan's words by name made Lu Zhiyao immediately lower his head.Cursing him secretly, Lu Zhiyao listened to what Bai Lixuan and the others said to Lin Yinan, and slowly began to wander.

Why did Lin Yinan help with this?He also wants to deal with the prince.why?Is it the throne?

What Lin Yinan did made Lu Zhiyao suspect again that he wanted to inherit the throne.

For one night, several people spent in the secret room.After the sky became light, Bai Lixuan and the others went out to explore the wind, leaving Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan to stay here.

"The eighth prince."

Lin Yinan heard Lu Zhiyao's hoarse voice because he didn't rest all night, and looked up. "Huh? What's the matter?"

"This time, thank you." If Lin Yinan hadn't made a move, Lu Zhiyao thought, it would be really difficult for them to get away.

"Is a thank you enough to repay me?" Lin Yinan asked slowly, and finally when Lu Zhiyao was frowning, he waved his hand and signaled her to come to him.

Lu Zhiyao walked slowly in front of Lin Yinan, seeing the bloodshot eyes in Lin Yinan's eyes due to fatigue, Lu Zhiyao felt guilty in his heart.

"After I go back, I don't care how you want to mess with the Ye family. But Lin Yixiang, you can't touch him." Although Lin Yinan had warned several people before, he still had to explain some things clearly to Lu Zhiyao. OK.

What Lu Zhiyao said to him last night, Lin Yinan is still in between accepting and not accepting what Lu Zhiyao said to him last night, contradicting himself.No one who is a bit normal should believe that kind of reason.But in the same way, anyone who is not stupid will not use such absurd words as an excuse to perfuse others.
