Concubine in power

"Chu Ziqian?" An unfamiliar name came out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth. After hearing this, Lin Mubai looked at her suspiciously, trying to find a trace of lying on her face.When Yin Jianli heard Chu Ziqian's name, his eyebrows twitched, and the expression he looked at Lu Zhiyao also changed significantly.

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Yin Jianli, then lowered his eyes again, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"Who is Chu Ziqian? Why did he save you?" Lin Mubai asked.

Lu Zhiyao was silent and didn't answer, she only heard Yin Jianli sneer, and then answered for her: "My lord may have forgotten, you have heard this name before."

"Oh?" Lin Mubai turned his head and looked at Yin Jianli staring at Lu Zhiyao with disdain, and asked, "Who is it?"

"If the Chu Ziqian she is talking about is the one I know, then he is a well-known prostitute in our country of Xia Lai, and a well-known flower-picking thief in Jianghu." Yin Jianli spoke word by word, his eyes closed. Then he looked at Lu Zhiyao intently.

When Yin Jianli was speaking, Lu Zhiyao bit his lower lip vigorously. When Yin Jianli asked her what was the relationship between her and Chu Ziqian, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head a little more, and began to speak hesitantly. .

Lin Mubai and Yin Jianli both looked at Lu Zhiyao and felt that something was wrong.Lu Zhiyao had been silent for long enough, and finally raised her head to look at the two of them again, but when she was talking, her eyes were full of shame and anger, and an abnormal blush slowly climbed onto her face.

"As you all know, he is indeed the flower picker. Because of his lightness skills, the government has been helpless in arresting him these years, and even sent many people to catch him." Lu Zhiyao paused for a moment. , his eyes were wandering, and then he swallowed his saliva, as if he had made a great determination, and continued slowly: "He and I...we met a few years ago, and he also taught me this kung fu." The lord can go to the yamen to ask the catcher Lan Ruoling, and ask her if Chu Ziqian appeared in the capital a few days ago. Lan Ruoling is the subordinate of the eighth prince, and there was a rumor in the palace before that I and the eighth prince Happy event, so after Lan Ruoling knew about Chu Ziqian's appearance, she was worried about my safety. Long before her, she was already in the prime minister's mansion, and Yi Rongcheng was by my side as a servant of my mansion..."

"You mean to say that you colluded with that Chu Ziqian and lied to Lan Ruoling, so Lan Ruoling failed to catch him?" Lin Mubai sneered, and Lu Zhiyao saw it. The expression became even more ashamed.

Lu Zhiyao nodded reluctantly, and slowly closed his eyes, not daring to look into the eyes of the two of them.Although she didn't say it clearly, anyone could tell that she meant that she had an affair with Chu Ziqian, that's why Chu Ziqian rescued her.

The red glow covered Lu Zhiyao's face, even his fair neck turned red.Lin Mubai and Yin Jianli looked at each other, and there was a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.

"Lu Zhiyao." Lin Mubai asked coldly, "Do you know what will happen if you tell me this?"

Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and he was about to fall.Looking at Lin Mubai with a flustered expression, Lu Zhiyao begged repeatedly, begging him not to tell others about this matter, not to let his family know.What I got was only Lin Mubai's sneer.

Lin Mubai's sarcastic expression made Lu Zhiyao feel dazzling.She forced herself to endure it. This was her own choice, and she had to persist.

"Where is Chu Ziqian now?" Yin Jianli interrupted and asked.

"I don't know. He told me in advance when he came to the capital a few days ago, but when he left, he didn't say where he was going. He only said that he would notify me when he came to see me again."

"What a couple of lovers." Yin Jianli's eyes turned cold, and he looked down on Lu Zhiyao more and more. "Then did he tell you when he will come to marry you?"

Yin Jianli's words made the tears fall from Lu Zhiyao's eyes instantly, and after a while she had tears streaming down her face.

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. It seems that the rumors outside are not all groundless. Compared with the woman in the Jinfeng Building, the prime minister's daughter is no different, and even a little humbler." Lin Mubai stood up with a look of disgust on his face. He glanced at Lu Zhiyao and said, "Get out, don't let me see you again!" Then, he waved his sleeves and left.

Yin Jianli followed behind Lin Mubai, also gave Lu Zhiyao a disgusted look, and then left.Lu Zhiyao looked at the backs of the two people who were gradually moving away, and when they were far away, he seemed to have pulled all the strength out of his body, and slumped on the ground.

Jinfenglou is a famous brothel in Beijing, even Lu Zhiyao has heard of this name.The corner of Lu Zhiyao's mouth curled up bitterly, personally destroying his own reputation and innocence. To be honest, it's really not a good feeling.She originally thought that she could look down on everything, but the facts proved that she was still lacking in temper, and she couldn't care less about other people's eyes.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Lu Zhiyao wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and walked out slowly.With a solemn and firm expression, she walked out of Prince Mu's Mansion step by step, not regretting her decision today.

If you can't afford to offend anyone, then just use yourself.As long as she can keep this life alive, she can give up anything.

The back view of Lu Zhiyao walking away made Lin Yinan, who was sitting on the roof, look deeply.His gaze was fixed on Lu Zhiyao tightly, and Lin Yinan left thoughtfully only when she was completely out of sight.Until he returned to his house, he still didn't relax.

"Master, you are back!" Ling Yi stood guard at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Lin Yinan's figure, he immediately went up to meet him.

"En." Lin Yinan responded in a low voice, and Ling Yi frowned at his neutral reaction.

Lin Yinan went straight into the room and locked Ling Yi out.Ling Yi stood at the door worriedly, not knowing what happened.

Lin Mubai walked to the garden with strides, thinking about what Lu Zhiyao said just now, he was still not indifferent.Yin Jianli saw Lin Mubai's displeasure, and took the initiative to say: "Master, if I go and kill her directly, it's useless to keep such a shameless woman. The princess is also worried about it." , if she is really asked to enter the palace to accompany her in the future, wouldn't that be detrimental to the princess?"

Lin Mubai glanced at Yin Jianli and sighed softly.With the gentle breeze blowing, he calmed down a little, "Do you think there is anything false about what Lu Zhiyao said?"

Yin Jianli snorted coldly, and said: "My lord, if this is not true, who would dare to call himself so low? Lu Zhiyao is just a woman. From what I see, she is afraid of the status of the prime minister." Really can't keep it, she can't be the eldest lady of the prime minister's house anymore, so she has no choice but to tell the truth. It's better to fight than to do nothing. I've heard about that Chu Ziqian, It is indeed very light work, and it is very similar to the person described by the master."

"Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng has always been cautious in dealing with people, but he gave birth to such a daughter." Lin Mubai shook his head with emotion, and then said to Yin Jianli: "Don't do anything to this woman, just watch her secretly. Let's see what other little tricks she has. Besides, you will go to the palace in a while and help me deliver a letter to the emperor."

Yin Jianli's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Mubai puzzled.The prince has not been in touch with the emperor for a long time, what is it for now?

Lin Mubai noticed Yin Jianli's gaze, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "I can't really promise this woman to Lao Ba. Your Majesty has always been suspicious of people, but he didn't expect to be like this this time."

Lu Zhiyao returned to the Xiangfu with empty eyes, looked up at the plaque on his head, Lu Zhiyao reached out and patted his stiff cheeks, and entered the Xiangfu with a forced smile.

"Miss, you're back!" Wanyue and Yudie greeted him quickly, one on the left and one on the right by Lu Zhiyao's side, and asked anxiously, "Why did the prince ask you again? Didn't make things difficult for you?"

"It's all right." Lu Zhiyao said with a relaxed smile, "It's all right in the future, don't worry."

Wanyue Yudie looked at each other, accompanied Lu Zhiyao back to the room, asked some more questions, and finally felt relieved.

Lu Zhiyao sat at the table, silently watching the scene of the two maids busying around him.It's always good to have someone who cares about themselves.A warm feeling flooded Lu Zhiyao's heart after a long absence. Lu Zhiyao thought for a while, and called the two people by their names. When they both turned their heads to look at her, Lu Zhiyao whispered: "Find time, Let me teach you some kung fu. If I'm not around in the future, you can protect yourselves."

"Kungfu? Okay!" Wanyue's eyes sparkled as soon as she heard this, and she strode up to Lu Zhiyao. She asked expectantly, "When? How is tonight?"

The scene where Lu Zhiyao rescued her from the Beauty Pavilion that night, Wanyue had to think about it every day.Although in the end she was scared and fainted and was a little embarrassed, Lu Zhiyao's chic action of killing the villain in order to protect herself was stored in her mind without delay, and she would never forget it.

Unlike Wanyue, Yudie felt something was wrong and uncomfortable after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words.

"It's fine, what's the miss doing if he says he's not with us? We are her maids, and we don't plan to go to other people's place in the future, so the miss will always protect us."

"You silly girl." Lu Zhiyao looked at Yudie with a slight smile, and said teasingly, "How long can I protect you? When the time comes, don't you have to find a good family for the two of you and marry you off? Listen My words are correct, learning some moves to protect yourself will be useful at any time."

What Lu Zhiyao said, Wanyue and Yudie blushed, and then the two counterattacked together, and said with a smile: "Miss is anxious to marry the Eighth Prince, so that's why you said this?"
