Concubine in power

The man's weak body fell down in an instant, and after Lu Zhiyao caught his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.Lu Zhiyao looked around vigilantly, the room next to him was still dark.Putting the man's body on the ground, Lu Zhiyao staggered back two steps, leaned against the tree trunk and stared blankly at the corpse, not knowing what to do with it.

Although he used to practice martial arts with his father who was a general at home, it was the first time for Lu Zhiyao to kill someone.Just now, Lu Zhiyao had no time to be afraid because of the men in black's approaching, dangerous situation, but now...

Lu Zhiyao sighed for a long time, and returned to the corpse again.Raising his hand to take off his mask, it turned out to be a strange man.I don't know how anxious Ye Lianrong will be if the killer Ye Lianrong hired at a high price never shows up?

When Lu Zhiyao thought of Ye Lianrong's appearance after she was defeated, she couldn't help but smile slightly.Shaking his injured hand, Lu Zhiyao turned back to the room and changed his clothes, and began to think about where to hide the corpse.The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the corpse will be found if left here, and Lu Zhiyao doesn't want to live with a corpse every day.Ye Lianrong's eyes are staring at this place every day, and if there is anything wrong, she will be discovered.But if you don't stay in Xiangfu, where should you throw it?

Lu Zhiyao was busy working alone, and didn't realize that there was someone outside the yard watching her silently.After Lu Zhiyao returned to the room, Ling Yi still didn't get out of the shock.Immediately turning back and leaving, Ling Yi stood outside Lin Yinan's door with complicated emotions, and knocked on his door.

It was supposed to be bed time, but Lin Yinan's reaction and voice made Ling Yi feel like he hadn't slept all this time.Ling Yi pushed the door and walked in, came to the bed, looked at Lin Yinan staring at him sleepily and asked, "What happened?" Ling Yi whispered everything he saw with his own eyes.

Lin Yinan should have thought earlier that if Ling Yi dared to see him at this time, there must be something important.But this...

"Are you sure it's Lu Zhiyao?" Lin Yinan's face was covered with suspicion. Seeing Ling Yi nod his head with great certainty, Lin Yinan lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said meaningfully: "Unexpectedly, this Lu family The eldest lady is really hiding her secrets."

The killers in Feihe Tower, even the lowest level ones, are definitely not something anyone can deal with.It's interesting that Lu Zhiyao was able to deal with the killer.

"Go and call Xia Han." Lin Yinan suddenly got up and got out of bed, put on his robe, and ordered Ling Yi.

"Now?"

"Otherwise?" Lin Yinan asked without answering, sitting on a chair and waiting for Ling Yi to bring someone over.

Xia Han was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.Looking at Ling Yi outside the door, and hearing him say that the Eighth Prince wants to see her, Xia Han couldn't help but become scared.In the middle of the night, what did he want from him? !

Xia Han was apprehensive, but she didn't dare not go.Following Ling Yi with her head down, the moment Xia Han walked into Lin Yinan's room, she shuddered involuntarily.

Xia Han walked up to Lin Yinan, and slowly raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her.This is the first time for her to see the Eighth Prince, including the time when he saved her before, she has never seen his face.Xia Han had met the seventh prince Lin Yixiang before, and they all said that the eighth prince was the younger brother of the seventh prince. Looking at it this way, the two did have some similarities, but upon closer inspection, they were completely different.

"Lu Zhiyao, do you know him?" Lin Yinan asked directly, ignoring Xia Han's scrutinizing eyes.

"Lu Zhiyao?" Xia Han didn't expect that he would ask her this question, she was stunned for a moment and replied: "I've heard her name, but I don't know her."

"Then do you know how your sister Xia Yao is related to her?"

"My sister seldom goes out of the house on weekdays, and even if she does... she's with the Seventh Prince. I haven't heard my sister mention Lu Zhiyao's name. I think they probably don't know each other either."

Xia Han didn't know anything about Lu Zhiyao, but Lu Zhiyao once told Lin Yinan that she knew a lot about the Xia family and had a good relationship with Xia Yao.One of these two people must have lied, so which one is it?

Lin Yinan glanced at Xia Han's frightened appearance, and said in a low voice, "Ling Yi, send her back."

Lin Yinan asked Xia Han a few words like this and then let her go, which made Xia Han a little confused.After sending Xia Han away, Ling Yi turned back, and after hearing Lin Yinan order him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to help Lu Zhiyao dispose of the corpse, Ling Yi asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

One thing more is worse than one thing less, this has always been Lin Yinan's principle of doing things.But this time, he clearly knew that Lu Zhiyao was a trouble, but he still leaned towards this trouble, which made Ling Yi very puzzled.

"Master, it will be very difficult for Feihe Tower to track down this matter. I think it's better for us not to intervene."

"I have my own measure." Lin Yinan got up and walked to the window, leaned against the wall and looked at the night sky outside, was silent for a moment, and then said to Ling Yi behind him: "Since it is for Lu Zhiyao, it must be Ye The person I was looking for. The Ye family can also be regarded as my enemy, so this favor is not in vain. What's more..."

Lin Yinan suddenly paused, as if remembering something, chuckled and said, "I can't take thousands of taels of silver for nothing."

Ling Yi couldn't understand the meaning of Lin Yinan's words, so he had no choice but to go out again and head towards Xiangfu.Lin Yinan watched Ling Yi leave, sighed faintly, and muttered to himself: "I thought it was just a disobedient little rabbit, but I didn't expect this rabbit to bite people, it's quite scary."

Lu Zhiyao had just worked hard to hide the body and cleaned up the blood in the yard. Before he could catch his breath, another unexpected visitor came.

Lu Zhiyao stood tense, looked at Ling Yi in front of him, blinked, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ling Yi didn't have the time to say polite words to Lu Zhiyao, so he looked around her room, Ling Yi frowned and asked, "Where's the body? Where is it hidden?"

Ling Yi's words made Lu Zhiyao stop breathing, how did he know?Lu Zhiyao looked at Ling Yi with gloomy eyes, regret and regret penetrated her whole body all at once, it was all because of her carelessness, she didn't even notice that there were people present just now!

"You sent him?" Lu Zhiyao stared into Ling Yi's eyes and asked coldly.

"Miss is thinking too much. If our master really wanted to kill you, he would definitely not send that kind of waste." Ling Yi smiled slightly, and said with a bit of arrogance: "The Eighth Prince asked me to help you dispose of the corpse. As for the reason, you can ask him yourself."

Lin Yinan was willing to show his courtesy to nothing, and offered to help him dispose of the corpse?Lu Zhiyao thought about Lin Yinan's face, and thought that he would not be such a good person.So the reason why he helped himself could only be because there were other purposes.Besides, it's not normal for Ling Yi to show up at Xiangfu in the middle of the night.

"He sent you to watch me?" Lu Zhiyao's heart sank, he didn't know how many days he had lived under Lin Yinan's nose.

"I was just following the killer." Ling Yi pulled out the corpse in the direction of Lu Zhiyao's finger, and took a deep look at Lu Zhiyao. Ling Yi said with some confusion: "The eighth prince said , thousands of taels of silver, he can’t take it for nothing.”

Lu Zhiyao immediately laughed at Ling Yi's words, but that smile was tinged with sarcasm. "If you don't have money and want to ask your master to do something, it's really harder than going to heaven."

Ling Yi took the corpse away, which was like pulling out a thorn in Lu Zhiyao's heart.But the far water can't dispel the near fire, who knows what kind of plans Lin Yinan is still planning?What Lu Zhiyao has solved now is just the crisis that Ye Lianrong wanted to use a killer to kill her. If she didn't succeed this time, she might become angry from embarrassment and try to deal with herself even harder.The more this happened, the more urgently Lu Zhiyao needed to find a backer.Lin Yinan made the move at this time because he wanted to tell himself, would he be willing to be his backer?

Lu Zhiyao struggled all night and couldn't fall asleep. At dawn the next day, Yudie and Wanyue looked at Lu Zhiyao's tired expression and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"It's okay." Lu Zhiyao smiled feebly, and said: "Today, pay more attention to the situation of the second lady, and tell me immediately if there is something wrong."

Yudie and Wanyue looked at each other, not knowing what happened.Nodding in agreement with Lu Zhiyao, the two left the room.Lu Zhiyao washed and dressed up, stood in the yard and stretched regardless of his appearance.Looking up at the glare of the sun, Lu Zhiyao smiled wryly, and whispered alone: ​​"It's not necessarily a good thing if you're not dead."

Ye Lianrong got up early in the morning. Ye Chengnan sent someone to send the news yesterday, saying that the killer had arrived and would attack in the evening, so Ye Lianrong spent the whole night in a state of nervousness and excitement, and there was almost nothing wrong with her. sleep well.After putting on her clothes, Ye Lianrong asked her maid to go to Lu Zhiyao's yard to inquire about the news, anxiously waiting for the news of Lu Zhiyao's death, but...

"What did you say?!" Ye Lianrong jumped up, seeing the girl in front of her shrinking her neck in shock from her actions, Ye Lianrong asked loudly: "Lu Zhiyao is all right?!"

"Return to Madam, she, she is really well, talking and laughing with those maids in the yard, it doesn't look like she is sick."

How is this going?Didn't the killer come last night?

Ye Lianrong clenched her lower lip, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.Calling Yuechan over, Ye Lianrong asked her to find Ye Chengnan.After seeing Ye Chengnan, Ye Lianrong said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, didn't you say that the killer would do it yesterday? This Lu Zhiyao is still alive, how did you do it?!"
