Concubine in power

"Why do you ask this?" Lu Zhiyao suddenly asked about the court affairs, Lin Yinan thought about the news he had recently received, and said: "It is true that some people want to come back, but very few people know about this, who did you listen to? "

"Who came back?!" Lu Zhiyao asked anxiously, after hearing Lin Yinan say that it was from the Nangong family, Lu Zhiyao took a breath.

Empress Nangong Liuxi is the representative figure of the Nangong family.In the country of Xia Lai, whenever one mentions the Xia family, one cannot but think of the Nangong family.Because the Nangong family, like the Xia family, have made great contributions to the country of Xia Lai.

Xia Zhenkun was conferred the title of "General of Zhenguo" by the emperor, and Nangong Liuxi's father and elder brother also threw themselves into the battlefield and killed countless generals.Moreover, the Nangong family has been stationed at the border all year round, so there is no need to say more about their importance.Nangong Liuxi also has the backing of the entire Nangong family, so she has been able to go smoothly for so many years. From entering the palace to becoming a queen, no one has dared to do anything to her.The members of the Nangong family can indeed be called "evil wolves", but Lin Yinan has already said it, and few people know the news, so how did Yudie's master know about it?

"How did you investigate the death of the two adults?" Lu Zhiyao lowered his voice and asked Lin Yinan.After seeing Lin Yinan slowly shaking his head, Lu Zhiyao sighed softly. "It seems that this stable day is indeed coming to an end."

"why do you say so?"

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan, and she couldn't say a lot.To say that others may really not know the temper of the Nangong family, but Lu Zhiyao knows it very well.Because the Nangong family is as famous as the Xia family, people would often compare these two families in the past. The names of Xia Zhenkun and the queen's father, Nangong Qingyun, would often come out of the same person's mouth.

But no matter what others say, the Xia family was once on the prince's side, so they naturally faced the Nangong family, and they would be inferior to them in private.But the members of the Nangong family were so arrogant that even Lu Zhiyao found it unbearable.The queen's elder brother, Nangong Lingfeng, had sarcastically said in front of Xia's family more than once that Xia Zhenkun was not worthy of being called the "General of Zhenguo". Xia Zhenkun punished, all of which Lu Zhiyao saw with his own eyes.Therefore, after the Xia family was destroyed, Lu Zhiyao wondered many times whether this incident had anything to do with the Nangong family.

"The Queen's family is going to come back, it's a trivial matter. Not to mention you royal relatives, I'm afraid even my father will go to please." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and said perfunctorily with a smile.But the hole in his eyes still hasn't disappeared.

Lin Yinan knew that she was not telling the truth to herself.Looking at her quietly, it seems that he really wants to see through her heart and see what she is thinking at this moment.

"Has the Eighth Prince ever thought that the killing of the two ministers may... be caused by the Nangong family?"

"Girl, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense." Lin Yinan's eyes flashed, and he warned Lu Zhiyao. "If this word reaches the Queen's ears, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be finished."

"I haven't told outsiders, what are you afraid of." Lu Zhiyao squinted at Lin Yinan, and suddenly thought of a possibility.Everyone in the Nangong family is so arrogant, and they all know about the fight between the crown prince and the eighth prince, so even if they want to give Lin Yinan a bad blow before they come back, it's not impossible, isn't it?

Lin Yinan stared at Lu Zhiyao for a while, didn't say anything, finally stood up and walked out the door.Lu Zhiyao didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly got up to send him off. When he reached the door, Lin Yinan stopped suddenly, causing Lu Zhiyao to almost bump into him.

Lin Yinan slowly turned his body sideways, looking into Lu Zhiyao's eyes leisurely.He didn't say anything, just looked at her like that.The posture was obviously elegant and casual, but Lu Zhiyao had to get nervous.

Wanyue and Yudie's footsteps could be faintly heard outside the door. After Lin Yinan heard it, he turned around again, turned his back to Lu Zhiyao, and said softly: "As you said, I did help You are quite a lot. But Lu Zhiyao, you still owe me an explanation until now. "

After Lin Yinan said such inexplicable words, he opened the door and walked out.Wan Yue and Yu Die, who had already entered the courtyard, were startled for a moment, then quickly ran to Lin Yinan to salute.Lin Yinan didn't stop, and passed them directly.Lu Zhiyao stood inside the door, looking straight at Lin Yinan's back, looking at his Yiyin flying in the cold wind, feeling a little heavy.

explain?What explanation does he want?Even if she explained and told the truth, who would believe it?

"Miss, when did the eighth prince come?" Wanyue walked up to Lu Zhiyao with a smile, and asked lightly. "If I had known earlier, my sister and I would have come back later!"

"What are you thinking about!" Lu Zhiyao raised his hand and knocked on Wanyue's head, twitching the corner of his mouth helplessly, showing a wry smile, and returned to the room.

After Lin Yinan left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he kept thinking about what Lu Zhiyao said just now.Is it from the Nangong family?He really didn't think about them. Could it be that there are really people from the Nangong family in the capital who have already gone one step ahead and returned...

Nangong Liuxi was in a good mood these two days, for no other reason than her brother, Nangong Lingfeng was coming back, and within three days, he would be able to reach the capital.

Taking the maid by his side, Nangong Liuxi went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, which he hadn't visited for a long time.After sitting for less than half an hour, she got up and wanted to go to the study to see the emperor, but on the way, she ran into Lin Mubai.

The two walked face to face, and finally stopped.

"It's really not easy for Lord Mu to enter the palace." Nangong Liuxi's lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his delicate and luxurious face.But the words that came out of his mouth were a little inconsistent with the smile. "Look at where the prince is going, it doesn't seem like he is looking for the emperor?"

Lin Mubai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Nangong Liuxi who had nothing to say, and didn't bother to perfuse her. "It's really not to see the emperor."

"That's right, who doesn't know that when the prince comes to the palace, most of the time it's to see the little princess." Nangong Liuxi was always smiling, and the corners of his mouth kept a perfect curve.Looking at Lin Mubai in front of him, he said, "My lord, I have a question to ask you."

"If the queen has anything to say, just say it."

"What major event has happened in the capital recently, has the prince ever paid attention to it?"

"Isn't the Queen referring to the Taiwei's death?" Lin Mubai didn't understand the reason why Nangong Liuxi asked himself this matter, he looked at Nangong Liuxi and nodded, and asked back: "What does the Queen mean?"

Nangong Liuxi looked around vigilantly, then took another step forward, closing the distance with Lin Mubai, and said cautiously, "I just want to know whether this matter is related to Lord Mu."

As soon as Nangong Liuxi finished speaking, Lin Mubai chuckled unceremoniously, and Nangong Liuxi who laughed was a little embarrassed. "The queen thinks that those two died at the hands of the king? Then why did the king do this? Because he wanted to help the queen and the prince? I'm sorry, the king has never thought of this, and I probably won't have it in the future .”

Nangong Liuxi's smile gradually disappeared, and Lin Mubai's tough tone made her very dissatisfied. "Then the implication of Prince Mu's words is that you want to help the Eighth Prince? Otherwise, how could you interfere in the Eighth Prince's marriage?"

"I didn't expect the queen to even know about this. It's a pity that this king has no intention of helping Lao Ba. It's just that I can't understand some people's actions and push the disaster to Lao Ba's side, so I said a few words. But he After all, he is the emperor's son and has nothing to do with me, so this matter still depends on the emperor's will."

"Then Princess Ruoxue is not the prince's daughter, why does the prince favor her so much?" Nangong Liuxi asked each sentence, and when she saw the chill in Lin Mubai's eyes, she regretted asking this matter.But Yin Jianli behind Lin Mubai and the maids beside her were all staring at her, she couldn't lose face for the queen, so she gritted her teeth and asked again. "The prince is not afraid. Will the rumors in the harem hurt the princess and Concubine Ning?"

Lin Mubai's expression froze, he looked at Nangong Liuxi sharply, and said softly: "The harem has never been short of gossip, I understand this truth, Ning Guifei has been in the palace for so many years, and I know it better. Look at the princess, that is the business of this king. What you want to say is also your business. But, it is best not to let me hear your words, and it is best not to spread to my ears. Otherwise, I will treat you for fear of chaos and nonsense. I will not forgive those who talk nonsense."

Lin Mubai's voice was very soft, but between his words, there was an aura that could not be resisted.After speaking, Lin Mubai turned his eyes away and looked at the road ahead.Not planning to say anything more to Nangong Liu Xi, Lin Mubai moved his footsteps and strode away.

Nangong Liuxi stood where she was. For this Lin Mubai, it was not the first time that she disliked him.With a cold snort, Nangong Liuxi shook his sleeves and walked forward. "What, you dare to act recklessly without the life of the emperor, you will regret it sooner or later!"

Lin Mubai and Nangong Liuxi walked with their backs facing each other. After walking a long distance, Lin Mubai told Yin Jianli who was behind him: "Send two more people into the palace tomorrow."

"My subordinate understands."

When Lin Mubai saw Lin Ruoxue, she was playing with a group of maids in the courtyard.Lin Mubai watched from a distance for a while, then walked over.When Lin Ruoxue saw that it was Lin Mubai who was coming, she immediately turned her head to meet him.

"Uncle, you are here!"

Lin Mubai smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then looked around and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"Er Niang is taking a nap, Uncle Huang, are you here to pick me up from the palace?" Lin Ruoxue looked expectant, but after Lin Mubai shook her head, her little face immediately collapsed.
