Concubine in power

"Eighth Prince?!" Yudie took a breath and asked anxiously, "Are you sure you read it right?"

"How could I be wrong!" Wanyue looked at Yudie's disbelieving expression, a little unhappy. "I saw the entourage next to the Eighth Prince!"

Wanyue's incomparable affirmation made Yudie's heart sink.If the eighth prince came back at this time, what would he do if he found out what happened to the young lady?

The news of Lin Yinan's return not only shocked Yudie, but even Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but froze for a long time after hearing what she said.

Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yixiang were talking in the room, and Lin Yixiang was anxious because she hesitated to speak.Lu Zhiyao revealed some news to Lin Yixiang intermittently, his eyes were red, and he might cry at any time.After Lin Yixiang left her room with a gloomy face and went to find Lu Yuanzheng, Lu Zhiyao wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with a wicked smile.But her good mood didn't last long before she was lost by what Wanyue and Yudie said.

"Ahem." Lu Zhiyao choked on the cold tea that Lu Zhiyao just drank.Wiping the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes wide and looked at the two of them, "What are you talking about? Who's back?"

"Eighth prince." Wanyue looked at Lu Zhiyao's weird expression, a little confused. "Miss, the Eighth Prince is back, shouldn't you be the happiest? Why does it seem..."

"What is he doing back now?!" Lu Zhiyao asked in frustration, but unfortunately, no one could give her a satisfactory answer.It stands to reason that there should be a month before Lin Yinan comes back, and Lu Zhiyao is sure that within this month, he will finish the matter at hand, so that even after Lin Yinan comes back, he has no reason to get angry.But now...

Seeing Lu Zhiyao sitting there silently, Yudie sighed heavily. "Miss, I think you'd better figure out how to explain it to the Eighth Prince earlier."

If the Eighth Prince found out about the lies Lu Zhiyao told, he would be so angry that he would go crazy.Yudie had always been curious about how Lu Zhiyao had the guts to do that.Looking at it now, it turns out that the eldest lady also has something to fear in her heart.

Lu Zhiyao lay down on the table with a sad face, thinking of Lin Yinan's inadvertently shrewd side, she felt that she had really made a mistake this time.When he was telling her when he would come back, she shouldn't have believed him at all!

"You two go out first, let me be quiet." Lu Zhiyao said weakly, and after Wanyue and Yudie left, Lu Zhiyao slowly regained some energy.

Now that the weather is still so hot, even if Lin Yinan himself is not sick, he still has to worry about the eyes of outsiders.He came back just like that, so it was inevitable that no one would suspect him.Is there something important that makes him worth the risk?

Lin Yixiang came to Lu Yuanzheng's study room, looked at Lu Yuanzheng coldly, and asked, "I heard that there are some false rumors in the prime minister's residence recently. I wonder if the prime minister is clear?"

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lin Yixiang pretending to be calm, wondering if what he said was about Lu Zhiyao.

"I don't know." Lu Yuanzheng replied in a low voice.

"Then I'll tell you." Lin Yixiang walked past Lu Yuanzheng, sat on the chair behind the desk, patted a letter on the table, and said, "Look at this."

Lu Yuanzheng took the letter in some confusion. After reading it, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

"This, this is simply nonsense! Seventh Prince, who wrote this letter?"

"I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion just to investigate this matter. This matter has become a big deal, and it has reached the ears of the prince. So, Master Xiang, you'd better tell everything you know."

Lin Yixiang's words made Lu Yuanzheng feel like a bolt from the blue.He only knew about it yesterday, how did it spread to the prince so quickly?

After talking with Lin Yixiang for a while, Lu Yuanzheng didn't dare to hide anything about this matter, but Lu Yuanzheng also felt that Ye Lianrong didn't have the guts to write this letter and send it to Jiang Wei's house.So Ye Lianrong's name was not mentioned.But that Jiang Wei, Lu Yuanzheng has met him a few times recently, and he doesn't think there is anything weird about him, everything is as usual.It seems that Jiang Wei needs to be more careful in the future.

"In short, I hope Master Xiang can help me investigate this matter as soon as possible. If the marriage between Lu Zhiyao and my eighth brother is delayed, I don't think this is what you would like to see, Master Xiang."

"The minister must do his best."

Everyone knew that if Lin Yinan found out about this matter, it would be difficult to handle.But everyone didn't expect that Lin Yinan would know it so quickly.

The news of Lin Yinan's return to Beijing surprised many people.Including Lu Zhiyao, as well as many people from the Prince's faction.

Every year, during the few months when Lin Yinan left the capital, the prince's faction was the most active.So Lin Yinan suddenly came back like this, and everyone was a little uncomfortable.For a while, various speculations appeared one after another, but no one could guess the real reason for his return.

After Lin Yinan returned to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, he immediately sent Ling Yi to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Lu Zhiyao.But unexpectedly, I heard something that shouldn't be heard.

Ling Yi was very concerned after he found out that Lin Yixiang was in the prime minister's mansion, so he overheard the conversation between him and Lu Yuanzheng.What he heard made Ling Yi return to the Eight Emperors' Mansion immediately, and he didn't even have time to see Lu Zhiyao.

Listening to Ling Yi's words, Lin Yinan sat there expressionlessly, which made Ling Yi feel a little scared.

Lin Yinan rarely shows anger on his face, but that doesn't mean he won't get angry.Ling Yi couldn't figure out what Lin Yinan was thinking, so he had no choice but to stand aside without saying anything.It wasn't until he stood for a long time that he heard Lin Yinan's clear voice.

"Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Ling Yi was startled, and asked back: "Notify Lu Zhiyao to come? Not yet."

"Then why are you still standing here?" Lin Yinan glanced past Ling Yi's eyes lightly, "Tell her to come over at Haishi."

After Ling Yi nodded, he hurried back to the Xiangfu.Lu Zhiyao looked at Ling Yi in front of him, and listening to the message he brought, he felt a sense of imminent disaster.

After Ling Yi left, Lu Zhiyao kept thinking about what to say when he went to see Lin Yinan, so that he wouldn't care so much, and he smeared the face of the Eighth Prince himself.Royal children, face is the most important thing.Before he married Lu Zhiyao in, it was rumored that Lu Zhiyao was pregnant with someone else's child.No one will feel good if this matter is placed on anyone's body.

Lu Zhiyao had been depressed all the time, and after dark, she came to the Eight Emperors' Mansion with a thought of death.

Lu Zhiyao was brought by Ling Yi to Lin Yinan's yard, and watched Ling Yi leave.Walking lightly to the door of Lin Yinan's room, Lu Zhiyao looked at the brightly lit room and knocked on the door lightly, but no one responded.Confused, she knocked again. When Lu Zhiyao's face was pressed against the door, she heard something wrong in the room, she frowned and slowly opened the door, wanting to find out.

The expression on Lu Zhiyao's face froze for a moment when he saw the two people in the room.She looked at the woman in red with disheveled clothes, and then at Lin Yinan who was obviously a little annoyed, only to belatedly realized that she had caused trouble again.

Lu Zhiyao squeezed out two laughs in embarrassment, and stepped back step by step. "Excuse me, both of you, please continue."

After struggling for a long time, Qu Wan'er finally had a chance to gain the upper hand and pushed Lin Yinan against the wall.Unexpectedly, something bad happened halfway.She turned her head to watch Lu Zhiyao slowly exit the room, and was not surprised to be pushed away by Lin Yinan again.

"Have you had enough trouble?!" Lin Yinan asked coldly, seeing Qu Wan'er smiled indifferently, and said patiently, "You go back first, I still have serious things to do."

"It's so late, what else can you do serious?" Qu Wan'er casually arranged her attire, looked at Lin Yinan from time to time, and said coquettishly: "I always thought that our eighth prince is really not close to women, That's why I'm not interested in throwing myself into my arms again and again. It turns out that someone has already been there."

Lin Yinan refused to say anything more, Qu Wan'er felt that she was making fun of herself after talking for a while, so she planned to leave first.

"Come to me if you have anything to do. I'm always here for you as a distinguished guest." Qu Wan'er smiled sweetly, left a word, opened the door and walked out of the room.Glancing at Lu Zhiyao, who was standing neatly at the door waiting, Qu Wan'er smiled softly, and walked away swayingly.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Qu Wan'er's back as she drifted away, and suddenly remembered something.When she got married before, Lin Yixiang pretended to be Liu Yiyu in his heart.This time to get married, it seems that they should be someone else's substitute.Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.It seems that these two people are indeed brothers, and in some places, they are still very similar.

Lu Zhiyao turned around and knocked on the door again, and walked in after hearing Lin Yinan's voice.Seeing Lin Yinan sitting there looking straight at him, Lu Zhiyao asked uncomfortably: "The Eighth Prince is angry because I ruined your good deed?"

"Sit down." Lin Yinan nodded to the chair beside him, "I have something to ask you."

Lu Zhiyao said "Oh", because he had ghosts in his heart, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Lin Yinan.Sat down according to Lin Yinan's order, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan silently, waiting for him to start asking about his "pregnancy".

"I'm not in the capital these days, are you having fun?" Lin Yinan leaned back in the chair, squinted his eyes and asked Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao didn't know how to answer Lin Yinan's question for a while.Clearing his throat, Lu Zhiyao coughed twice, lowered his eyes, like a child who did something wrong and was caught on the spot, a little afraid to look into Lin Yinan's eyes.
