Concubine in power

Lin Yixiang nodded with a heavy heart, looked at the letter in his hand, and asked softly: "Then I will take this letter back?"

"En." Lin Yichen went back to the soft couch and sat down, "Find out as soon as possible, and let me know if there is any news."

Lin Yixiang left Lin Yichen's palace, thinking about what he just said to Lin Yichen along the way.What was written in that letter, in Lin Yixiang's view, could not be more absurd.But if the news spread, some people would believe it.

The more Lin Yixiang thought about it, the more he had a headache. When he returned to his bedroom, he looked at Lu Zhiqing beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you want to go back and have a look?"

Lu Zhiqing was stunned, then nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Well, I haven't seen my parents for a while, and I just want to go back and have a look."

After discussing with Lu Zhiqing, Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing let Lu Zhiqing go out.Before Lu Zhiqing left, she glanced at the letter Lin Yixiang was holding, a little curious about who wrote it to him, but she didn't dare to ask, so she went out.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the surface is calm, but in private, it has become a mess.

Lu Zhiyao went to Ye Lianrong's yard during the day, and what he said to Ye Lianrong spread throughout the entire Prime Minister's residence at a speed so fast that it made people stunned.Everyone was secretly discussing the authenticity of this matter, and it was impossible for Lu Yuanzheng, the owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to know.

"Nonsense! Where did you hear that?!" Hearing Chu Hansheng's words, Lu Yuanzheng slapped the table angrily, and asked him with a stern look.

"My lord, it's been spread in the house now. I heard that the eldest lady went to the second lady's place in the afternoon, but the second lady refused to admit that the words came from her mouth. The eldest lady had no choice but to leave again. .”

"Why did you come to tell me such a big thing now?" Lu Yuanzheng's chest was tight with anger, "The Eighth Prince doesn't know when he will come back. If this matter gets serious, then the engagement with the Eighth Prince will be over! You go, Call me Zhiyao, I have something to ask her!"

Chu Hansheng followed Lu Yuanzheng's instructions and came to Lu Zhiyao's yard.It was getting dark, Lu Zhiyao looked at Chu Hansheng in front of him, turned his eyes, and asked with a smile: "It's so late, is there anything important for Housekeeper Chu?"

Chu Hansheng was promoted to housekeeper by Lu Yuanzheng some time ago, but Lu Zhiyao hadn't had time to send him a congratulatory gift.No, now he came to the door on his own initiative.

"Miss, the master has something to do with you." Chu Hansheng also received some kindness from Lu Zhiyao before, and glanced at the two maids beside Lu Zhiyao. He knew that they were all Lu Zhiyao's confidantes. He didn't avoid it, and said directly: "The master said he wanted to ask you something, I guess... it's about you going to find the second lady today."

Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, stood up and said leisurely: "It only takes one afternoon to do good things without going out and travel thousands of miles with evil things. Not only you, Steward Chu, but even my father know about it. Okay, here I am Just go to see my father. Yudie, you go and get some silver taels, the housekeeper Chu has been 'promoted', we have to express it."

"Miss is joking, how dare you be a slave." Chu Hansheng refused repeatedly, and when Lu Zhiyao handed over the money to him, he was still tactfully refusing. "Miss, I can't take this money."

"Okay, there are no outsiders in this room, so don't be polite to me. In a few days, I won't be in the mansion. Even if you want to get money from me, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it." Lu Zhiyao smiled and stuffed the money into Chu Hansheng's arms, then strode out of the room and came to Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao who came in through the door, and asked with a gloomy face, "Why did you go to see your second mother today?"

Lu Yuanzheng's straightforward question made Lu Zhiyao pause.With a look of grievance on his face, Lu Zhiyao walked up to Lu Yuanzheng in two steps, and said in a low voice, "Father, you have to be the master of your daughter this time."

"Don't talk about that, hurry up and tell me what's going on!" Lu Yuanzheng impatiently asked the whole story.

"Father, I've been feeling unwell these days, but I never thought that Erniang would say such a thing when she saw me in distress. She told others behind the scenes that it was because, because I was pregnant. It will be like this. Dad, if people outside listen to what you said, how can I marry the Eighth Prince? Er Niang used to falsely accuse me of having an affair with others, so I will not say anything, but when is now, Doesn't she know? Could it be that my younger sister is married, and my second mother doesn't care at all? Father, mother died early, and you and I know how my second mother has treated me for so many years. But even if I am not her own Daughter, she shouldn't have said that behind my back!"

The more Lu Zhiyao talked, the sadder he became, and the more Lu Yuanzheng listened, the colder his back became.

"What evidence do you have to prove that these words are all said by your second mother?"

"Father, I heard what Erniang said to others with my own ears. Could it be true? There is one more thing that I have never told Dad. That day Wanyue and Yudie went home with something to do, and Erniang took advantage of it. Seeing that there was no personal maid by my side, she drank in the fruit I ate and stunned me, and then brought someone else into my room. I still don’t know what happened. If it weren’t for the two The girl came back and ran into her in time, I think the other servants in my yard would not dare to tell me about this, for fear of offending Erniang."

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, Dad can ask Erniang himself, and I can also call Wanyue and Yudie to confront Erniang face to face!"

Lu Yuanzheng sighed with a headache, looked at Lu Zhiyao for a while, and waved her to go back first.Then, they brought Ye Lianrong over again.Ye Lianrong, on the other hand, unsurprisingly denied everything, and did not admit that she had said such a thing.

The time was getting later and later, Lu Yuanzheng thought that he would have to get up early the next day to go to court, so he let Ye Lianrong go back first, and wanted to find time to find out about this matter the next day.But he never thought about it, Lin Yixiang came before he started to investigate.

Lin Yixiang's arrival made Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong's hearts tremble. Seeing Lin Yixiang go directly to Lu Zhiyao's yard, Lu Yuanzheng sat in the study restlessly, waiting for Lin Yixiang to come.

Lu Zhiqing followed Ye Lianrong back to the room. Seeing Ye Lianrong's tired face, as if she hadn't slept well all night, she asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell or something happened?"

"Qing'er, do you know why the Seventh Prince went to Lu Zhiyao?" Ye Lianrong asked without answering, wondering if Lin Yixiang went to Lu Zhiyao to discuss the matter of the child in her stomach, or to study how to get rid of the child in her stomach. Lu Zhiyao took it away without being discovered.

"I don't know." Mentioning that Lin Yixiang went to see Lu Zhiyao as soon as he came back, Lu Zhiqing also showed displeasure on his face. "The Seventh Prince didn't tell me anything, he just told me that I had something to do in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and asked me if I wanted to come back."

"Then Qing'er, do you know if the Seventh Prince has any contact with Lu Zhiyao during this time?"

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Lu Zhiqing looked at Ye Lianrong in confusion and asked.

"Don't ask so many questions, just tell me, has the Seventh Prince touched you recently? Have you had any correspondence with anyone outside the palace?"

Ye Lianrong's words reminded Lu Zhiqing of the letter she saw in Lin Yixiang's hand yesterday.She nodded slowly, answered Ye Lianrong's question hesitantly, and said, "There seems to be... how did you know, mother?"

"Then it must have been written by that little bastard Lu Zhiyao." Ye Lianrong said angrily. Under Lu Zhiqing's repeated questioning, she had no choice but to tell Lu Zhiqing some things cautiously. "You can't let outsiders know about this. Lu Zhiyao is pregnant with a child, which belongs to the Seventh Prince."

"What?!" Lu Zhiqing yelled and stood up from the chair abruptly.Looking at Ye Lianrong with flickering eyes, Lu Zhiqing couldn't believe it, it was true. "Mother, you can't talk nonsense. She really has it?"

"Why am I lying to you? Don't you know that the Seventh Prince has an affair with her?" Ye Lianrong looked at Lu Zhiqing's fuss and said, "I guess the Seventh Prince came to our house just to see her. of."

Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing talked about what happened during this period, and they kept warning Lu Zhiqing not to show her feet after returning to the palace, not to mention this matter at all.But she didn't know that Lin Yixiang knew about this a long time ago, and he also learned about it from the crown prince.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yixiang in front of him, with a smile on his face, but there was a bit of alienation and indifference hidden.

"Is there anything the Seventh Prince wants from me?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly, tilting his head.

Lin Yixiang looked at Lu Zhiyao with clear and serene eyes. He was wearing light green clothes with a simple style, but he looked extremely comfortable and bright.Unable to figure out who would fabricate such a lie to hurt such a woman, Lin Yixiang's eyes darkened, and he said, "Have you heard any rumors recently?"

As soon as Lin Yixiang's words were spoken, Lu Zhiyao's expression immediately panicked.Lin Yixiang watched the change in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, and sighed secretly.

Originally, I just wanted to try it out, and came to meet the protagonist who was also mentioned in that letter.Lin Yixiang wanted to see if Lu Zhiyao knew something, because the letter was obviously aimed at the two of them.And Lin Yixiang himself had too many enemies, and he couldn't find out who it was for a while, so he could only rely on Lu Zhiyao.

"Seventh Prince... Did you hear something?"

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yixiang timidly, circling with him.There were only two people in the room, and Yudie outside broke into a cold sweat anxiously for Lu Zhiyao.

"Sister!" Wanyue ran back from the outside, and after seeing the people in the yard, she said to Yudie with a happy face: "Guess who I saw on the street just now?"

"Who?" Yudie turned her head and glanced at the room, then pulled Wanyue to a place a little further away and asked.

"Eighth Prince! I saw the Eighth Prince's carriage!"
