Concubine in power

"No one is catching up." Lu Zhiyao glanced at the expression on Yudie's face, said something softly, and then sat on the ground.Wiping the blood on the dagger, Lu Zhiyao looked at the blood on his hand again, and frowned.

Yudie stood aside stiffly, and after a while, she relaxed a little after no one was chasing her.Looking at Lu Zhiyao intently, Yudie wondered if she really killed someone, if so, who would it be?

"Miss, let's go back quickly."

"No more breathing?" Lu Zhiyao raised his head and looked at Yudie with a half-smile.Seeing Yudie nodded, Lu Zhiyao stood up slowly, inserted the dagger into her waist, and said to Yudie in a low voice: "It's getting late, I'll take you away."

The experience when she came out made Yudie hug Lu Zhiyao's arm tightly after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words.The body moved quickly, and Yudie was not as frightened as before. On the contrary, she felt a novelty in her heart.I never knew that people who know how to do light work and walk over walls feel like this. Yudie was thinking wildly all the way until Lu Zhiyao took her back to Xiang's mansion.

As soon as Wanyue saw the two entered the room, she immediately jumped up from the stool and rushed in front of them.Inadvertently caught sight of Lu Zhiyao's bloody hand, Wanyue opened her mouth, and cleverly fetched water.After Lu Zhiyao washed his hands, Wanyue asked in a low voice: "Miss, can you take me with you when you go out next time?"

Lu Zhiyao couldn't help laughing at Wanyue's expectant eyes. "You are much bolder than Yudie, well, if there is still a chance, I will take you there."

After listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, Yudie pursed her lips in embarrassment and lowered her head.Lu Zhiyao took off his new clothes, threw them into Yudie's hands, and ordered: "Burn it, don't let people see it."

Yudie nodded repeatedly and went to do what Lu Zhiyao ordered.Wanyue stayed in the house and stood by Lu Zhiyao's side. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you going to kill bad people?"

"Yes, bad guy." Lu Zhiyao nodded with firm eyes and replied, "Heinous bad guy. Wanyue, I'm going to rest. Yudie will come back later, and you guys should be early."

After Lu Zhiyao smiled at Wanyue, he entered the back room.Although Wanyue was full of doubts, seeing the young lady's appearance, she didn't seem to want to say anything, so she honestly kept her mouth shut.

Lu Zhiyao lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking that killing one would make him happier.But the mood similar to joy did not arise at all.Perhaps, they are not the ones I want to kill the most, so is this the case?Lu Zhiyao murmured to himself in his heart.

The prisoner was killed, just as Lu Zhiyao thought before, and it didn't cause any disturbance.And Nangong Lingfeng's return made the whole capital tremble.

The emperor specially held a banquet for Nangong Lingfeng, and Lu Yuanzheng also seemed to be very busy, usually going out in the morning and not coming back all day.Lu Yuanzheng was not at the house, and Lu Zhiyao was not the same as before. Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong came to make trouble, so her life was very comfortable.

On this day, Lu Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he took his maid for a walk in the mansion.Several servants came slowly from a distance, chatting about something constantly.Lu Zhiyao listened carefully, and occasionally heard the words "dead", so when they came to her and stopped, Lu Zhiyao asked straight to the point: "What were you talking about just now?" ?”

"Miss, we just came back from outside. It seems that a street vendor on the street was beaten to death by the government."

"People from the government?" Lu Zhiyao raised his brows, not feeling anything unusual.People are poor and life is cheap, even if innocent people are beaten to death, how many of them can get an explanation. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, the man was already dead when we arrived. I heard that he was beaten to death by soldiers sent back from abroad."

Isn't that Nangong Lingfeng's person?Lu Zhiyao smiled silently, and waved his hand to let the servant go.It's very common for dogs to fight against others.But General Nangong just came back, and this kind of thing happened.Whether it was intentional or not, Lu Zhiyao felt that it was hard to say.

Many people attended Nangong Lingfeng's banquet.However, Lin Yinan, who was one of the invitees, did not show up.Using physical discomfort as an excuse, Lin Yinan lay comfortably on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, thinking about what Lu Zhiyao said before.

The banquet started in the afternoon and ended in the middle of the night.Nangong Lingfeng knelt on the ground with one knee, and said "I see the queen" from his mouth, making Nangong Liuxi, who was sitting on the chair, smile softly.

"There are no outsiders, brother, get up!"

Nangong Liuxi quickly opened his mouth, and after Nangong Lingfeng sat down firmly, Nangong Liuxi asked in a low voice: "How long will brother be here this time?"

"It will take about a month. My father wants me to discuss something with the emperor."

As a queen, Nangong Liuxi naturally knew that women should not participate in important national affairs, so she didn't ask what the matter was. "It's good to be back. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know when I will see my father again. I heard from the emperor before that it seems that a reward has been prepared for you. I guess you will be admitted to the palace tomorrow."

"The emperor treats me like this not only because my father and I are stationed at the border, but I think it's more because of the queen." Nangong Lingfeng smiled slightly, he was not interested in the reward Nangong Liuxi said. "If the emperor really wants to reward our Nangong family, why not hand over all the military power of the Xia family to our family."

"Brother, you can't talk nonsense about this." Nangong Liuxi's eyes flashed, and the movement of picking up the teacup also paused.

The corners of Nangong Lingfeng's mouth kept rising slightly, and Nangong Liuxi didn't want to say this, so he didn't say it. "Okay, don't talk about it. Then I don't know if you can receive the gift I gave to the queen and the prince?"

"Gift?" Nangong Liuxi looked surprised, then shook his head in confusion. "What did brother bring back for us? I didn't receive it."

"Those two people, two lives, doesn't the queen...don't know?"

As soon as Nangong Lingfeng finished speaking, the teacup in Nangong Liuxi's hand fell to the ground in an instant.Nangong Liuxi opened her eyes wide and looked at Nangong Lingfeng. She was stunned for a long time before she realized it. "Brother means, Taiwei...you sent someone to kill him?"

"Yes, that's right." Nangong Lingfeng nodded happily, "I thought the queen would guess it."

"How can I guess! I even thought of Prince Mu, but I just didn't think of you." Nangong Liuxi sighed heavily, "Brother, this matter is big enough. A special person was sent to investigate. Why didn't you give me a message in advance?"

"Has the emperor found any clues? It's not there, so the queen and the prince should just pretend they don't know anything." Nangong Lingfeng looked at Nangong Liuxi meaningfully, "I just want to give the eighth prince a It's just a warning, if he intends to grab something from the prince, then everyone around him will definitely leave him one by one."

"That's what I said, but brother must also be careful. I always feel that Lin Yinan seems to be different from before during this period of time."

"Oh? Why is it different?" Nangong Lingfeng asked curiously. After listening to Nangong Liuxi's words, Nangong Lingfeng snorted and smiled. "I think the empress is overthinking. I will pay close attention to him this month. If he is really thinking about it as the empress said, then it's better to settle the matter directly. Anyway, he won't live long."

"I'll talk about it later. My brother is tired from traveling all the way, so let's go back today."

Nangong Liuxi sent Nangong Lingfeng away, recalling that Nangong Lingfeng said that he sent someone to kill He Gusong, Nangong Liuxi felt a little uneasy.If this matter is discovered, it will be difficult...

If Lu Zhiyao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, if she just relied on her imagination, she might never have imagined how arrogant and domineering the people under Nangong Lingfeng were led by him.

The stall that was overturned, the fruits scattered all over the ground, and the vendors who were kicked to the ground, Lu Zhiyuan stood at a distance, watching intently, she couldn't say anything except a wry smile.

"Did you see that he peed his pants in fear?"

"Haha, I saw it! We haven't come back for a while, the people in this capital are a lot less courageous!"

"You don't even look at it, who guarded this capital city before. With those members of the Xia family still weak, what do you want to see here?"

Five or six people in military uniform walked past Lu Zhiyao slowly.Lu Zhiyao had never seen them before, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble for nothing.However, when she heard them talking about Xia's family and Xia Zhenkun's death, Lu Zhiyao couldn't calm down.

Regardless of Wanyue and Yudie's obstruction, Lu Zhiyao stepped forward to stop several people with his hand.

"What are you doing?" The man in the middle glanced up and down at Lu Zhiyao and asked sharply.

"What did you just say? Say it again." Lu Zhiyao's eyes were cold, and the anger in his heart was constantly churning.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't know what words they said that attracted the woman over. "What did I say? Even if I say it, it's none of your business? Get out, get out!" The man stretched out his hand to push Lu Zhiyao without saying a word, thinking she was in the way.

Lu Zhiyao didn't dodge or dodge, when the man's hand stretched out, he pulled it along the way, and then twisted his wrist with a little force.

"Xia Zhenkun's three words are not for you bastards to talk about and make fun of!" Lu Zhiyao held back and tried hard to control his emotions. "Apologize, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"
