Concubine in power

On weekdays, not only talking in front of people, but also making it difficult for people to find flaws in every move, this Xiangye unexpectedly behaved like this today.This made Lin Yinan feel that his trip was not in vain.

"Ling Yi, go over and take a look, I'll go back first." Lin Yinan withdrew his gaze, changed his previous plan, and said to the people around him: "Pay attention, those two people get together, if they are discovered You feel better."

"Won't your lord go over in person to hear the purpose of the prince and the seventh prince coming here?"

"I'm sure they're here, so I know it in my heart." Lin Yinan smiled slightly, showing a bit of laziness and arrogance.Then he flickered and disappeared in place.

Lu Zhiyao was shut into the firewood room, and as the wooden door was closed heavily, Lu Zhiyao's tense body relaxed a little.A few sarcasm words that made things worse, uttered from the mouth of the servant who hadn't gone far, and finally floated into Lu Zhiyao's ears.But Lu Zhiyao didn't care, he only thought about the name he just heard.It was not until more than half an hour later that Lu Zhiyao pulled himself together and scanned around where she was.

Lu Zhiyao sat on the ground weakly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.For Lu Yuanzheng's performance today, she was not without disappointment.But compared to that disappointment, Lu Zhiyao is more willing to believe that his situation will gradually improve in the future.Lu Yuanzheng's confusion will not last forever.

The sky gradually darkened under Lu Zhiyao's wild thoughts. In the dirty and messy woodshed, there was no water, food or bed. Lu Zhiyao could only see clearly what was in front of him by the moonlight outside the window. things, but also have to withstand the cold wind blowing in from the window.

Late at night, quiet, sleepless.Lu Zhiyao hugged his thin body, curled up in the corner, and looked out the window firmly.She thought a lot, but no matter how much she thought, she never thought that Lu Yuanzheng would leave her here alive for three days without asking.

For three days, Lu Zhiyao, who hadn't eaten a sip of food or drank a sip of water, had almost reached his limit.The expectations she had for Lu Yuanzheng from the beginning also disappeared with the passage of time.

She can't die here, she still has a lot of important things to do, she absolutely can't die here.

Lu Zhiyao kept repeating to himself in his heart, then slowly got up from the ground while supporting the wall, went to the door and pushed the locked door.

Two days ago, there were guards outside, but on the third day, Lu Zhiyao could no longer hear any movement outside.A wry smile emerged from the corner of Lu Zhiyao's mouth, she lowered her eyes and thought about what she should do to escape from here.If he really went out, how would he face the faces of Lu Yuanzheng, Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing?

Just as Lu Zhiyao was concentrating on his thoughts, a sound of footsteps suddenly approached from far away and entered the courtyard.With a flash of light in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, he hurried back to the corner, assumed the same posture as before, and silently looked at the door.Hearing the sound of the lock being opened, Lu Zhiyao's bloodshot eyes burst out with a cold chill.Who's coming here this late?

The person who opened the door and came in was someone Lu Zhiyao had never seen before.She thought it would be Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing, mother and daughter, and wanted to do something to her while no one found out, but...

"Miss, you're starving!" The middle-aged woman carrying the lantern was visibly relieved when she saw that Lu Zhiyao was still alive. "Wanyue, be smart and go outside and watch." The woman turned her head and told the girl behind her. After she nodded and walked out of the room, the woman walked up to Lu Zhiyao and put the lantern at Lu Zhiyao's feet , and then took out a few buns and handed them to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao looked at the woman vigilantly. She really wanted to ask "Who are you?", but she was afraid of arousing suspicion.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Chang Manting couldn't help feeling a little worried when she saw Lu Zhiyao staring at her. "Are you feeling sick? Eat something to fill your stomach first, and I'll go and beg the master to let you out after dawn!"

The anxious look on Chang Manting's face warmed Lu Zhiyao's cold heart.Looking down at the steamed stuffed bun and water in her hand, Lu Zhiyao thought for a while and stopped hesitating. Under Chang Manting's distressed eyes, he ate what she brought in a little embarrassment.

After eating something, Lu Zhiyao regained some strength.After wiping the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"I really wronged you." Chang Manting shook her head helplessly, "It's all my fault that I'm useless. It took me three days to find a chance to come here. I'm afraid it's too late. Miss, you will..."

As Chang Manting spoke, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.After seeing this, Lu Zhiyao had to be a little surprised.

With her status and status in the prime minister's mansion, how could there be a loyal servant by her side?But the reaction of the woman in front of her didn't seem to be faking.

"Miss, I know you are suffering, but..."

"Don't cry." Lu Zhiyao turned his head away from the tears streaming down Chang Manting's cheeks, "I'm not dead yet, am I?"

Chang Manting was stunned by Lu Zhiyao's words.She stared blankly at Lu Zhiyao, and couldn't believe that those words just came from Lu Zhiyao's mouth.

"Why do you have the key here?" Lu Zhiyao started to ask without waiting for her to react.

"It's from the master." Chang Manting answered Lu Zhiyao's question reflexively, and then suddenly came to her senses. "Miss, don't blame the master for what happened this time, he also feels bad. But the second lady made a fuss this time, the master has no choice but to make such a bad plan."

Lu Zhiyao calmly listened to Chang Manting's good words for Lu Yuanzheng. After she finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao sneered and said, "Well, I don't blame him. He is my father and the prime minister. No matter what he does Everything should be done. Who am I? I'm just a superfluous person in our prime minister's mansion who can scold and roll his eyes. I don't blame anyone."

Lu Zhiyao's flat tone made Chang Manting panic immediately.She took a deep breath, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had the idea of ​​committing suicide, and quickly begged: "Miss, you have to live well, even if it is for the passing madam, you can't seek death!"

"Of course I want to live well, otherwise how can I give them back the suffering I have suffered for so many years?!" Lu Zhiyao looked at Chang Manting with eyes full of surprise, and said word by word: "For so many years, I have always Live cautiously, thinking that I have never wronged anyone. But how did they treat me? I had no intention of harming them, but they forced me to take my life. How can I not avenge this revenge. "

Chang Manting was dumbfounded by Lu Zhiyao's murderous words.Is this person really a cowardly and cowardly lady who only cries when things happen?

"Since my father asked you to come, did he ask you to tell me anything?" Lu Zhiyao quickly changed the subject to prevent Chang Manting from thinking too much.

"Master said, let Miss stop messing with Second Madam and Second Miss..."

"I never thought of provoking them. My father should be very clear about this." By now, Lu Zhiyao had somewhat guessed what Lu Yuanzheng was thinking.Just like what Lu Zhiyao had thought before, in this mansion where everyone was thinking, if it weren't for Lu Yuanzheng, he might have died long ago, and it is impossible to live to this day.However, Lu Yuanzheng's "care" for her daughter was limited to sneaking around in the middle of the night.It is impossible to ask him to do more now.

"People's words are terrible. My father can't stand those rumors about me. I can understand. But didn't he think that if the people who spread the rumors don't get rid of, the rumors will stop disappearing one day? He Why don't you let me die because I'm his eldest daughter? Or because I have a somewhat similar face to my mother...?"

"Miss, you can't talk nonsense!" Chang Manting almost wanted to cover her mouth when Lu Zhiyao said it to the end, for fear of being overheard by others.

"Miss is right! Those who talk nonsense should tear their mouths off!" A crisp voice came from the door, making Lu Zhiyao and Chang Manting look over.The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth slightly raised, watching the woman who was similar to his age approaching, and after looking at him seriously for a while, he said: "Miss, you used to cry all the time, I'm tired of watching you, but now you're finally crying Is it enough?"

"Wanyue, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yeah, enough crying." After Chang Manting stopped her, Lu Zhiyao said to the girl named Wanyue with a light smile, "That's why I wanted to tear those people's mouths apart."

The reason why Lu Zhiyao dared to say these words to these two people so boldly was entirely because of their reactions.Lu Zhiyao had the mentality of giving it a try. If it was really what he thought, then there would be two more people who could be used.If they are here to act, then they might as well kill them after testing them out.Anyway, in the middle of the night, no one saw and no one knew.Even if it was dawn tomorrow, who would believe that a person who had been starved for three days would have the strength to kill these two people?

"Miss, I'll help you! I've disliked them a long time ago!" Wanyue volunteered and said angrily.It seems that he has been bullied for too long, and the anger in his heart has reached the edge, and there is nowhere to release it. "Mom, what are you pinching me for?"

Wanyue looked at Chang Manting aggrievedly, frowned and said, "Don't you always say that those wicked people will be punished one day sooner or later? We've all been bullied by them and you still pinch me!"

"Just a mouth that can talk! Let me ask you, you really want to help Miss, how can you help? Who is the second lady? You are a little girl, and you can talk nonsense!"

Chang Manting scolded her whimsical daughter, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhiyao had heard some news from the words of the two of them.
