Concubine in power

Lu Zhiyao was locked up for four days. Although Lu Yuanzheng never let her out, he gave her food on time, which reassured Lu Zhiyao a lot.

On this day, when Lu Zhiyao was finally released by Lu Yuanzheng, the first news she got was that Lu Zhiqing was ill.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Wanyue and Yudie standing in front of him, listened to what they said, and asked with a smile: "Is that why you came here to tell me this?"

"Is it because of the Second Miss that you were locked up this time?" Wanyue couldn't help asking regardless of Yudie's obstruction.

"Me? Why do you suspect me?" Lu Zhiyao shook his head, not admitting it.Taking off his dusty outer robe in front of the two of them, Lu Zhiyao went to the closet and found another one, ready to change into it later. "When did Second Miss get sick?"

"Yesterday." Yudie replied softly.

"That's it. I'm still locked up. What can I do? My father locked me up because I offended him." Lu Zhiyao firmly insisted that Lu Zhiqing's matter had nothing to do with her. After Xie told her about the mosquito coil that night, Lu Zhiyao just smiled slightly and said, "It's just a mosquito coil, if I can really make her sick with a mosquito coil, then why should I wait until now? "

Lu Zhiyao's words made Wanyue feel dejected. She thought it was Lu Zhiyao who really started to fight back, but she didn't expect that she didn't do anything at all!

"I don't believe you anymore." Before Wanyue left, she looked at Lu Zhiyao in disappointment and said a word, then left without looking back.However, Yudie, who was usually much calmer than Wanyue, gave Lu Zhiyao a new impression this time.

"Mosquito coils are made of rosin powder, mugwort powder, tobacco leaf powder, arsenic and sulfur. What did you do?"

Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yudie with a little surprise. After looking at her for a while, Lu Zhiyao thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If you want to know, come to me tonight. Remember, it's you one person."

Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Yudie, a little maid, to know so much.But this also shows that she really saw the right person.

Lu Zhiyao washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes and went out, heading straight to Lu Yuanzheng's study.At the door of the study, Lu Zhiyao saw the servant who had been by Lu Yuanzheng's side all the time. She saw that man looked at her with weird eyes for a while, then pushed open the door and let herself in. Lu Zhiyao stepped into the study , stood in front of Lu Yuanzheng.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Yuanzheng was burying his head in looking at things, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhiyao. He closed the book and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Didn't Dad ask me to come?" Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed a sly gleam, "When Dad was in the woodshed today, he asked me to come see you after noon."

"When did I say that?"

"Father said that he would rest at noon, and he would not let me disturb you, let alone come and walk around your study. I usually only stay in my own yard, and this point is clear to me. How could he remind me of these things so well? What? I came over to look out of curiosity, and the person at the door automatically let me in, so I felt even more that Dad wanted me to come to see you on purpose."

After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng involuntarily looked her up and down again.His own daughter, why had he never discovered that she was so smart before?

"Then tell me, why did I call you here?"

"My daughter can't guess." Lu Zhiyao shook her head, but she was telling the truth.Lu Yuanzheng locked himself up because he mentioned Lin Yixiang's matter, and Lu Zhiyao thought that Lu Yuanzheng didn't want to be brought up again.After all, this is a matter of the court, and it is not ordinary.It is impossible for him to take the initiative to say anything to her.

"The emperor is going to choose a concubine for the prince. The seventh prince came to me and said that he wants me to send you to the palace." Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a long time, and when he said this, Lu Zhiyao was a little dazed.

"Father, are you sure that the Seventh Prince is not talking about Lu Zhiqing, but me, Lu Zhiyao?"

"That's right, it's you." Lu Yuanzheng sighed faintly, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince.In the entire capital, is there anyone who doesn't know that his eldest daughter has a bad reputation?How could they take the initiative to ask for such a person?

"Perhaps the Seventh Prince wants to make it difficult for Dad." Lu Zhiyao pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Lu Yuanzheng: "No one else knows about his looking for you. If Dad really sends me into the palace, he will definitely You will be teased and said that you are whimsical, and you are crazy about being a relative of the emperor. If you don’t agree, the seventh prince will definitely find excuses to make things difficult for you. In the name of Prime Minister Lu Yuanzheng’s unwillingness to assist the prince, encourage those who The people sent by * are against our Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, Dad can defeat one or two, but he may not be able to defeat ten or twenty."

After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he realized that what he had said was too much.She pursed her lips and smiled at Lu Yuanzheng, and added: "Daughter guesses casually, as long as dad doesn't get angry."

"You guessed it again..." Lu Yuanzheng said meaningfully, then nodded, and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Go on, I'm not angry, tell me what you can do."

"Father, it's not appropriate for a daughter to deal with the imperial court..."

"I want you to say it, you say it!"

"Daughter thinks, daddy might as well agree to the Seventh Prince's condition, just take it easy and see what he plans to do." Lu Zhiyao's words were interrupted by Lu Yuanzheng, and she quickly gave Lu Yuanzheng the answer he wanted .

"Promise him to send you into the palace? Or promise him to join the prince's faction?" Lu Zhiyao's answer was ambiguous, so Lu Yuanzheng had no choice but to ask directly.

"The Seventh Prince has done so much, but he wanted Dad to make a move that the Lu family deliberately wanted to help the prince and him. Dad can definitely accept the matter of choosing the princess, but the person who should be sent to the palace is not I, but my younger sister. My younger sister is prettier than me and behaves more generously than me. She will not embarrass us. And the seventh prince and prince also know that my younger sister is the jewel in my father's palm. Father is willing to give his most beloved daughter Going to the prince's side naturally expresses father's intentions."

If there is a "good thing", Lu Zhiyao will naturally not forget Lu Zhiqing.Seeing that she had given him so many "benefits" before, no matter what he did, he had to make her wish come true.It's not that Lu Zhiyao didn't see the way Lu Zhiqing looked at Lin Yixiang that day, nor could he not guess Lu Zhiqing's thoughts.Because of Lu Zhiqing at that time, Lu Zhiyao clearly realized how stupid he was.That hypocritical human skin once made my heart flutter.

Lu Zhiqing would definitely not refuse to be able to fly on a branch and become a phoenix.Even though Lin Yixiang was pretending in her heart, the identity of the princess, the future empress, must be more alluring to Lu Zhiqing.

"You mean, let me join the prince's faction?" Lu Yuanzheng frowned, this was not what he wanted.

"The future will be long, this is just our tactic to slow down the army. It is just my beloved daughter who is going to lure the enemy. The emperor is in good health. It is impossible for him to think about abdicating to the crown prince in recent years. The crown prince is just planning for a rainy day. I just want to make myself feel more at ease. What he wants to stabilize is the position of the crown prince, not anything else. Why should father resist so much? If the crown prince really makes you do something you don’t want to do, then you can find another way , isn't it? Right now, that's the most important thing."

Lu Zhiyao thought that Lu Yuanzheng must be clear about what she said.Although he is the prime minister, although he has the emperor as his backer, although the emperor trusts him very much, even though the emperor may not listen to the one-sided words of those court ministers.But some things are just like that, a lie, one person says it is false, two people say it is false, but when everyone is talking, it will change, and people will have to follow the trend Say, to believe it is true.Just like myself, just like how unbearable and slutty I was told by outsiders.Although it is false, how many people believe it?

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao intently, and he even suspected that the person in front of him was not his daughter.She was right, and her proposal was indeed a good one.But God knows how much he wishes these words hadn't come from her mouth.

"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll go see my sister. I heard she's sick?"

"Don't look at it, she won't want to see you now. You go back first, and I'll call you later."

Lu Yuanzheng's words were correct, in Lu Zhiqing's current state, he would definitely not want to see Lu Zhiyao.

In the closed room, Lu Zhiqing was lying on the bed uncomfortable all over, but she didn't dare to get out of the room for a walk.Allergic all over, full of disgusting red rashes, even if Lu Zhiqing looked in the mirror now, she didn't want to admit that the person in the mirror was herself.

"Mother, go and get me a doctor again! I'm so sick!" Lu Zhiqing frantically said to Ye Lianrong in the room.

"The one who came today is already the best in town, so don't shout!" Ye Lianrong looked helplessly at Lu Zhiqing's horrific face, "You too, you know that your skin is prone to allergies, why don't you pay attention? Now Well, I think you won't be able to leave this room for a while."

"I'm paying attention! Even the incense I burned in the house was specially made for me by my mother before, and I haven't changed it in the past few years. The rouge powder and sachets I used have been used before. Is it true? The problem is that you have been walking around a lot these days, and the pollen has blown on you?"

"Don't talk about it, just lie down and lie down. This room is very boring, mother, go out for a walk!"

Ye Lianrong didn't want to say anything more to Lu Zhiqing, and hurried out of the room.Ye Lianrong sighed comfortably as the breeze blew by.Looking back at the closed door, Ye Lianrong sighed heavily.

This daughter, when will she be able to rest assured?
