Concubine in power

"I misjudged the person." Lu Zhiyao looked around for a long time, and his mood gradually stabilized.Feeling disappointed, Lu Zhiyao forced a smile and said, "Let's go back."

Seeing Lu Zhiyao's strange expression, Yudie was puzzled.After accompanying Lu Zhiyao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao did not see any improvement, but locked himself in the room alone and ordered no one to enter.

Sitting in the room, Lu Zhiyao thought about the person he saw just now, and his heart, which had been as silent as stagnant water, was unstoppably turbulent.Is it really him?If so, then father and elder brother, are they all the same, did not die?

Anxiety and a momentary sense of hope alternated in Lu Zhiyao's heart, making it impossible for her to calm down.Maybe it's just a person who looks like her, but she still can't give up.

Ever since this incident happened, Lu Zhiyao has been running outside the prime minister's mansion with nothing to do.This is true during the day, and no exception at night.Wanyue and Yudie, who knew all this, began to worry about her, not knowing who she was looking for.

Half a month passed quickly in the midst of Lu Zhiyao's searching.Most of the time was spent wandering around Jiang Wei's mansion. After being disappointed again and again, when Lu Zhiyao saw the person she had been looking forward to for a long time again, her mind went blank, and her conditioned reflex was like up.

It was late at night, and Lu Zhiyao followed the man into Jiang Wei's mansion.Focusing on every subtle movement of the man, Lu Zhiyao's heart sank when he saw him slowly draw out his sword, and he hurried forward to block his way.

Bai Lixuan looked at the strange woman in front of him, and immediately felt murderous in his heart.Lu Zhiyao's right arm was injured, so he couldn't fight him, so he could only dodge left and right, and then picked the right moment, his figure flashed, and stood in front of him again.

Lu Zhiyao held back the excitement in his heart, looked at Bai Lixuan intently, and said in a low voice, "Lan Ruoling is nearby, Brother Bai, you can't do anything."

After hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Bai Lixuan frowned.Looking at her suspiciously, Bai Lixuan was very wary of this woman who suddenly appeared.

"It's not safe here, go out and talk." Lu Zhiyao looked around at her position, and she knew that Lan Ruoling had brought so many people to guard Jiang Wei's side recently, there would be a reason.It seemed that she was not the only one who noticed that Bai Lixuan and the others were still alive.

Bai Lixuan dubiously followed Lu Zhiyao out of Jiang Wei's mansion. After reaching a remote place, Bai Lixuan asked coldly, "Who are you? Know me?"

Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth, and swallowed the words that had reached his lips.Nodding her head, she smiled and said, "Of course I do, you are General Xia's favorite student."

After Bai Lixuan listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, a killing intent flashed across his eyes.Lu Zhiyao dodged his fatal blow in some embarrassment, looked nervously at the murderous Bai Lixuan, and explained: "I have been looking for you for a long time, trust me, I can help you avenge!"

"Who the hell are you?!" Bai Lixuan frowned, full of doubts and hostility towards this woman who knew her identity well and also knew martial arts.Listening carefully to the wind and grass in the vicinity, Bai Lixuan was afraid that if he was not careful, he would fall into the trap of the government.

Lu Zhiyao couldn't tell him his true identity, let alone say that he was the prime minister's daughter.Because once she said it, she thought that Bai Lixuan would definitely not listen to her second sentence, and immediately turned around and left.After all, she is now the fiancee of the Eighth Prince.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, and in desperation, he said softly: "I was entrusted by Miss Xia, and I have been looking into the city. I saw you by chance on the street a few days ago, and I thought I was wrong. But I was worried, so I could only wander around the house of the thief Jiang Wei day and night. Unexpectedly, I actually saw you again."

"Miss Xia?" Bai Lixuan repeated, then smiled coldly. "Is she doing well now? What did the Seventh Imperial Concubine tell you? Did she say that if she finds out that there are other people in her Xia family alive, she will order you to kill the grass immediately to avoid future troubles?!"

Bai Lixuan's words made Lu Zhiyao's body stiff, she didn't understand what he meant.Seeing the mocking expression on Bai Lixuan's face, Lu Zhiyao's heart was in a mess.

"Brother Bai... What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhiyao pulled the corner of his mouth hard and asked hesitantly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Lixuan snorted coldly, looked at Lu Zhiyao sharply, and asked, "Why, didn't the seventh imperial concubine tell you the truth?"

It's not like Lu Zhiyao couldn't hear the irony in Bai Lixuan's words about the Seventh Concubine.Chest tightness, difficulty breathing.Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath, looked at Bai Lixuan with a firm expression, and said, "Brother Bai, I don't know what you mean by that, and I have no way to ask Xia Yao. Because she is already dead."

"Dead? Yes, didn't many people say that she was dead? But how could the Seventh Prince be willing to kill her? She was a hero who helped the Seventh Prince destroy the Xia family. You said that, thinking that I Will you believe me?"

Bai Lixuan's words were like sharp knives, piercing Lu Zhiyao's heart.Lowering her eyes, she was powerless to explain anything, because she knew that if she hadn't insisted on marrying Lin Yixiang, the matter would not have developed to that point.

"I'm telling the truth, she's really dead." Lu Zhiyao repeated word by word, "Dead."

Bai Lixuan's expression changed suddenly after Lu Zhiyao said that Xia Yao was dead. "Dead? Didn't the Seventh Prince hide her?"

"You actually believe that." Lu Zhiyao laughed at himself, remembering the gossip she had heard before, about the Seventh Prince pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, who couldn't bear to hand over Xia Yao for execution, and arranged for Xia Yao to leave the capital secretly, etc. , she just found it funny and sad.

If he, Lin Yixiang, felt pity for her, and if he had even the slightest feeling for her in his heart, he would not have killed her whole family on the day of his wedding, and then told her that the adulterous relationship between him and Liu Yiyu had thrown her among those rogues. go!

"Xia Yao died a long time ago. On the day she became the seventh concubine, she was killed by the seventh prince. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and there is no falsehood. Since you survived, you have returned to the capital for so many days. Xia Yao If Yao is really alive, you shouldn't be unable to find any clues, right? Brother Bai, I have no reason to lie to you, I have been looking for you for so many days, I just want to ask, is General Xia... still alive?"

Bai Lixuan didn't answer Lu Zhiyao's question, but Lu Zhiyao got the answer in his eyes.

Sure enough, everything is just wishful thinking.

Lu Zhiyao's nose was a little sore, and his shoulders drooped with a lonely expression. Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward, and leaned against the wall weakly, without making a sound.

"What evidence do you have to prove that she is dead?" Bai Lixuan looked at Lu Zhiyao silently for a while, and couldn't help asking.

Lu Zhiyao raised his eyes to look at Bai Lixuan, she couldn't tell how she turned around before the gate of hell.Even with her present identity, she is no longer Xia Yao.However, she still couldn't tell that Xia Yao's innocence was ruined.

"No matter how carefully Lin Yixiang does it, there will still be things that he missed. I am not the only one who knows the truth about Xia Yao's death. Lan Ruoling is one of them. You can find a way to find out by yourself. Regarding Jiang Wei, I have already watched He has been there for a long time. When he returned to the capital this time, he had already thought that someone would attack him. So whether it was himself or the prince, they tried their best to protect his safety. Now to attack him, is it not Best policy."

Lu Zhiyao told Bai Lixuan everything he could tell as much as possible.Listening to her words, Bai Lixuan still had countless doubts about this woman who unexpectedly appeared in front of him and said that she wanted to avenge him.

"Are you the only one who escaped by yourself? Where do you live now? Are you safe? Do you want me to help you find a place?" After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he looked at the indifferent Bai Lixuan and asked worriedly.

Bai Lixuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It's not just me."

Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes wide with joy, and asked impatiently, "Who else? Brother Liu?"

"You seem to know us very well?"

The smile on Lu Zhiyao's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Bai Lixuan. Lu Zhiyao thought for a while, and could only answer: "I just have a good relationship with Xia Yao. I also heard about your affairs from her." of."

Xia Yao was dead, no matter what Lu Zhiyao said now, there would be no evidence for her death. "It's too late today, come here and wait for me tomorrow, and I'll bring you some silver taels."

Bai Lixuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said "OK".Watching Lu Zhiyao leave, Bai Lixuan stood there for a long time, and when she was completely gone, he turned around and headed towards Jiang's mansion.

After carefully searching around the mansion, Bai Lixuan saw Lan Ruoling and the others in a very unobtrusive place.Bai Lixuan's eyes darkened, and he muttered to himself, "Strange woman", and then turned back to their hiding place.

Pushing open the door, Bai Lixuan looked at the two people in the room and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xisheng was sitting sideways on the edge of the bed wiping the blade, seeing Bai Lixuan's appearance, stopped what she was doing, walked to the table and sat down with him.

Bai Lixuan drank a cup of herbal tea, received Liu Xisheng's and Qingling's probing gazes, recalled every word Lu Zhiyao and himself had said, opened his mouth slowly, and said in a low voice, "Miss, you really are dead."

Liu Xisheng and Qingling were stunned for a moment, and sadness flashed in their eyes at the same time.Even if there is resentment in their hearts, they can't deny that Xia Yao is the last hope in their hearts.They hated her for betraying the Xia family, but they also hoped that she would still live in this world so that they could have a chance to hear her say that all of this was not what they thought.

"Dead..." Liu Xisheng closed her eyes in despair, leaned her head on the back of the chair, smiled wryly twice, as if she was asking herself and the other two people around her, "Then what else is there for us to live?" mean."
