Concubine in power

As night fell, Lin Yinan was alone in the room, sitting by the window with the window open, looking at the starry sky with some ecstasy.His eyes softly chased the stars he could see one by one, and the pale moonlight hit Lin Yinan's body, making him look a bit hazy.

Lan Ruoling stood at the corner of the yard, staring at Lin Yinan's profile in a daze.Taking Lin Yinan's leisurely and indifferent expression into his eyes, Lan Ruoling pursed her lips and walked towards Lin Yinan.

"Master, the Seventh Prince is here."

After Lan Ruoling finished speaking, Lin Yinan was still in the same posture, not in a hurry.If it wasn't for the displeasure flashing across her eyes, Lan Ruoling would almost think that he didn't hear her words.

"Understood, let's go down." Lin Yinan got up slowly, and walked out of the room to the front hall where Lin Yixiang was.Pushing open the door, looking at the man in the room, Lin Yinan's mouth turned up slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It's so late, what wind brought Seventh Brother here."

Lin Yixiang turned his head to look at Lin Yinan, seeing that although he had a smiling expression, the absurdity never reached his eyes, his eyes were still as cold as ever, Lin Yixiang smiled softly: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a while, come and see you That’s all, don’t think too much about it.”

"Really?" Lin Yinan obviously didn't believe Lin Yixiang's words, walked up to Lin Yixiang and sat down, Lin Yinan was not in a hurry to ask him why he came here, but cooperated with him without saying a word, saying something that didn't matter Nutritious compliments.

"Father is going to accept a concubine for the prince." Lin Yixiang finally changed the subject and said something that made Lin Yinan feel less boring. "What do you think?"

"Me?" Lin Yinan was a little surprised that Lin Yixiang would ask himself this question, "It's a matter of course, isn't it? What do I think, can it still affect the selection of the crown princess? Seventh brother, just say what you want to say, You don't have to be so roundabout, I'm tired of listening."

Lin Yinan looked at Lin Yixiang calmly, and the direct words made Lin Yixiang sigh. "You are still like this. You haven't changed since you were a child. Has your body improved recently?"

"As you said, I have never changed, including this body of course. Drinking medicine every day, I can live a good or bad life, die or not, it is a matter of one day earlier or later, there is no difference."

"Then you never thought about accepting a concubine to make you happy?"

"Are Brother Seven joking with me?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows lightly, and said leisurely, "Do you think my illness can be cured by being happy? Or, after Brother Seven got married, he felt that there was a wife who It's more comfortable to be around, so you're starting to worry about me? But Seventh Brother, why did I hear that Xia Yao is no longer in your house? Jinwu Zangjiao is nothing more than that. Didn't Father feel sorry for you? ?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Lin Yinan mentioned Xia Yao, which made Lin Yixiang's tone suddenly a little stiff.

"Then I don't need Brother Qi to worry about my affairs. I am not interested in women, and I have never thought about marrying a wife and concubine. If Brother Qi has nothing else to do, I will go back and rest." Lin Yinan obviously Those who don't like Lin Yixiang, stood up and glanced at Lin Yixiang indifferently, Lin Yinan was about to walk out of the house.

"Not interested? Then why did you pay a high price to buy a girl today?" Lin Yixiang said anxiously after Lin Yinan took two steps: "I'm curious, what kind of maid is worth 500 taels."

"Seventh brother is always so well informed." Lin Yinan stopped walking, and turned around as Lin Yixiang wished. "Is it more than 500 taels? It's just a maid, and it's worth your late trip, Seventh Brother. It seems that the prince really doesn't have anything for you to do recently."

"Brother, you always have so many strange people here. If the servant girl can't do it, how about giving me that Lan Ruoling?"

"Whatever, it's yours if you can take it away, I don't mind."

Lin Yinan nodded happily, which made Lin Yixiang somewhat unexpected.That Lan Ruoling can be regarded as a celebrity in Beijing, no, it can be said to be a celebrity in the entire Xia Lai country.Although she is a woman, she has extraordinary skills, and she is the only woman in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Some people even said that more than half of the prisoners in the prison were captured by this Lan Ruoling.

"You don't want to avenge your mother anymore?" Lin Yixiang said coldly, finally explaining the main point of his visit this time.

"That's my business, not to mention you are still here? With my crippled body, it's not bad if I can save my life now. I don't want to think about other things. I don't care how you and the prince are tossing, but remember Hold on, don’t get me wrong. I’ve said before that I won’t compete with the prince, but I won’t be part of the prince’s side either. I still say this now, and it won’t change in the future. What outsiders say is what outsiders mean , please give the prince a word, just say that I am not interested in the throne, and it is impossible for the emperor to pass the throne to me, a person who may have no tomorrow after living today. You, what else do you want to ask?"

Lin Yixiang looked into Lin Yinan's eyes seriously, he didn't believe that Lin Yinan didn't desire the throne at all.Among so many princes, there is no one who does not desire that position.Even though he knew there was no hope, even if he was forced to help others win the throne, deep down in his heart, he still thought, how wonderful it would be if he could be the emperor one day.

"It's gone." Lin Yixiang was silent for a while, Fuyi stood up, walked to Lin Yinan's side, and said, "Remember what you said, otherwise I will have a hard time."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Lin Yinan managed to send Lin Yixiang away. Seeing Lin Yixiang's disappearing figure, Lin Yinan lowered his eyes and walked to his own courtyard.

It seems that Lin Yixiang doesn't know that the person he bought back today is Xia Han. If he knew, he would try his best to snatch it back, although Xia Han may not know the truth of the matter.Lin Yinan was clear about Xia Yao's death.It's just that he finds it funny that Lin Yixiang still refuses to admit Xia Yao's death for the sake of his own reputation.Did he think that he really did it so seamlessly?

The entire Xia family was killed because Lin Yixiang and Lin Yichen jumped the wall in a hurry.They were afraid that the collusion with Fanbang would be spread by Xia Zhenkun, which would ruin their good deed, so they acted so cruelly.After all, Xia Zhenkun was stubborn, even though he belonged to the prince's faction, he was still loyal to the emperor.

When Xia Zhenkun died, Lin Yinan felt that it was a great loss for Lin Yichen and the others, but he didn't feel too much about it.But that Xia Yao, it's a pity.The most dignified Xia Lai country's most beautiful woman died so tragically under the hands of the rogues.Did she know the reason for her death? What was it?

It was getting late into the night, but Lu Zhiyao never felt sleepy.Scenes of the day's events emerged in her mind, making her irritable and restless.Is Xiaohan's life in danger now?Is what Lin Yinan said true?As long as he takes the money and goes there, can he really let people go?And 2000 taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, where should she get this money?

Lu Zhiyao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and finally got up and walked out of the room, blowing the night breeze to wake himself up.In the dead of night, Lu Zhiyao could clearly hear the sound of the night wind blowing by.In the dignified prime minister's mansion, there should still be 2000 taels of silver, right?But I don't know...is there enough for Ye Lianrong?

Lu Zhiyao thought for a while, then walked towards Ye Lianrong's room.Standing in Ye Lianrong's yard, Lu Zhiyao clenched his fists, lit the incense that he had prepared in advance during the day, and passed it in through the gap in the window.

After a while, Lu Zhiyao didn't hear any sound in the house, so he opened the window cautiously, observed the inside of the house, and then jumped into the house.Covering his breath, Lu Zhiyao went to the inner room and looked in the direction of the bed, and when Ye Lianrong was nowhere to be seen, he relaxed a little.

It seems that Lu Yuanzheng called Ye Lianrong over tonight.However, it may also be Ye Lianrong who took the initiative, probably because of Lu Zhiqing's affairs.

The opportunities that God has given to oneself should not be wasted.Lu Zhiyao quickly picked a few places to search for, and finally when she saw the stack of bank notes, Lu Zhiyao almost laughed out of joy.

Returning to the room as quickly as possible, Lu Zhiyao threw the banknote on the table.I don't know how Ye Lianrong will react when she finds out about the banknote being stolen?Would she dare to tell Lu Yuanzheng to look for the lost silver with great fanfare?How would she tell Lu Yuanzheng the source of this large sum of money?Or... are you missing something else?

No matter which one it is, in short, what Lu Zhiyao is sure of is that Ye Lianrong will be so angry that she will jump her feet.As for whether you can doubt yourself, it is also an important thing.Lu Zhiyao had to consider the consequences and countermeasures in advance.

Lu Zhiyao sat at the table with his chin resting on his shoulders, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly smiled and stood up with ease.

Finding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Lu Zhiyao wrote a letter with a smile on his lips, then went out to the door of Lu Yuanzheng's study, and stuffed the letter in through the crack of the door.

In this way, Ye Lianrong is really a dumb person who eats coptis, unable to express her suffering.

Now that the money is in hand, when should I pick up Xiaohan?Lu Zhiyao kept telling himself not to be impatient and ruin things. Now that he was at the Eighth Prince's Mansion, if he was caught by that man, it would be hard to explain.

Back in the room, Lu Zhiyao happily lay on the bed with the bank note in his arms.For the first time, she discovered that the thing she didn't like the most before would be so useful one day.Man made money and birds died for food. It seemed that it was time for her to face the truth.

The night passed, and the surface of the Prime Minister's Mansion still looked so peaceful.Lu Yuanzheng got up early to go to court, Ye Lianrong put on delicate makeup after washing up, Lu Zhiqing was still troubled by allergies.But all of this seemed to change after Lu Yuanzheng returned to the mansion and entered the study.
