Concubine in power

Lin Yinan's slightly teasing tone made Lu Zhiyao twitch his lips in embarrassment.She knew that he would not let her go easily.

This time, even if Lu Zhiyao really said something, she never thought that Lin Yinan would really tell others.Furthermore, Lin Yinan was also considered a victim, for his "benefactor", it should be even more impossible for him to be ungrateful and sell himself.But Lu Zhiyao still hesitated, wondering if he should say those words.Because she was afraid, afraid that she would lose control for a while, and try to add her personal grievances to this matter, dragging Lin Yinan into trouble so quickly.

"Many people know that the Eighth Prince's enemy is the Prince's faction. So I think this is the same." Lu Zhiyao was silent for a long time, and finally, under Lin Yinan's gaze, he spoke slowly, in a low voice Said: "They should just want to give it a try. If they are really lucky and get rid of you, it would be great. If not, I want to take this opportunity to see if the Eighth Prince is really powerless. Hanging by a thread, I didn't do anything. But I didn't expect that I, an outsider, would disrupt the plan."

"Have you noticed the weapons those people are holding?"

"Weapon?" Lu Zhiyao thought about it for a while, then shook his head in doubt. "I didn't pay attention, what did the Eighth Prince find?"

"The weapons held by those people all have the marks of the Nangong family." Lin Yi Nanfeng said lightly, which shocked Lu Zhiyao a little.

"So the Eighth Prince suspects...is this matter caused by General Nangong?" Lu Zhiyao hesitated to ask the question in his heart, seeing Lin Yinan nodded casually, Lu Zhiyao continued to ask: "Then why not?" Change some weapons?"

"Are you familiar with Nangong Lingfeng?"

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's expression when he asked this sentence, he was very serious, he didn't seem to have thought that the daughter of Xiangfu's family should have nothing to do with General Nangong.Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, feeling a little guilty.She didn't know why Lin Yinan would ask such a question, but in fact, she really knew Nangong Lingfeng a little bit better.

"Ordinary people will not expose themselves when they buy murder. But it is also because of this that they have reasons and excuses to say that they were wronged after the incident failed, and they will not be so stupid. Go and use your own weapons to commit murder. Is this what the Eighth Prince wants to say?" Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and asked.

"That's right, it seems that you are not stupid." Lin Yinan nodded, because before the captain was killed, Lu Zhiyao suspected Nangong Lingfeng, so Lin Yinan will reveal his thoughts to Lu Zhiyao this time .Lin Yinan had been secretly investigating that matter, and some clues were as expected by Lu Zhiyao, pointing to Nangong Lingfeng.It's just that Nangong Lingfeng was on the road and not in the capital at that time, so no one immediately thought it was him.

Lu Zhiyao ignored Lin Yinan's banter, and tried hard to recall the reactions and actions of Nangong Lingfeng she saw when those masked men appeared.

Nangong Lingfeng's martial arts is very good, and Lu Zhiyao has seen him and his brother fight with his own eyes.If compared with Nangong Lingfeng at that time, his performance this time was indeed unsatisfactory.In any case, it is threatening the safety of his master. He should kill the enemy regardless, but he has reservations.

At that time, Lu Zhiyao put all his attention on Lin Yinan, glanced at Nangong Lingfeng and Lin Yixiang, and didn't think too much about it.But thinking about it now, it seems that something is really wrong.Coupled with Nangong Lingfeng's arrogant temperament, it is not impossible to show his identity to commit murder.

"If it's really General Nangong, what does the Eighth Prince plan to do?" Lu Zhiyao slowly raised his eyes and asked Lin Yinan's gaze.

"You don't seem to be surprised." Lin Yinan answered the non-questioned question, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Lu Zhiyao, who was already a little guilty, not want to talk more.

Although Lin Yinan usually didn't talk much, Lu Zhiyao felt that every word he said seemed to have a deep meaning.Lu Zhiyao was really afraid that if he was not careful one day, he would set out some secrets again.

"Surprised, who said I'm not surprised?!" Lu Zhiyao quickly changed his words, but before he could say a few words, he was so surprised by what Lin Yinan said next that he shut his mouth again.

"Lu Zhiyao, do you remember how you looked when you were drunk?" Lin Yinan leaned forward and suddenly asked such a sentence.Seeing Lu Zhiyao shaking his head in confusion, Lin Yinan continued: "Then shall I tell you what you look like when you're drunk? What did you say to me?"

"What does the eighth prince mean?" Lu Zhiyao's heart trembled, not knowing what he had said to him when he was drunk.

Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's increasingly uneasy expression, and said slowly: "'She' once said that you have many secrets. It is very interesting that you are drunk, and you are not in this state at all. So I am also very curious , I don’t know which one is more powerful, the usual you or the drunk you? And which one will tell me your secret first?”

"The eighth prince was joking. I don't have any secrets. I drank wine, but I was just talking nonsense with the strength of the wine. It's not worth trusting. As for my kung fu, it's not worth mentioning."

"Excessive modesty will sound bad. Lu Zhiyao, I said you owe me an explanation. You have never been prepared to tell me this explanation, have you?"

Lin Yinan pressed hard at every step, not giving Lu Zhiyao a chance to breathe.She looked at Lin Yinan's strong tone, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, and his posture was lazy and calm, which made Lu Zhiyao want to be angry, but he couldn't pull up his strength.

"Some things, it's not that you don't want to say it, but that you can't say it. I think the Eighth Prince should be aware of this feeling." Lu Zhiyao turned his head away, and stopped looking at Lin Yinan's charming face. "I admit that there are some things that I did not tell the truth to you, the Eighth Prince, but I also have my own reasons. If it was possible, who would want to carry thousands of secrets in their hearts and live in fear every day."

"You are young, but you are full of vicissitudes when you talk." Lin Yinan couldn't understand Lu Zhiyao's sad expression, so he stood up and walked to her side, slowly took out something from his bosom, and handed it to Lu Zhiyao's in front of you.

"This is?" Lu Zhiyao took the small porcelain bottle in doubt, looked up and asked Lin Yinan in confusion.

"Good food, eat it." Lin Yinan patted Lu Zhiyao's head casually, and walked towards the door.Soon, he was out of Lu Zhiyao's sight.

Lu Zhiyao watched Lin Yinan leave with complicated emotions, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured out the pills inside.This medicine is different from the usual ones, it is white.Lu Zhiyao smelled it, but he didn't smell the medicine either.What is this?

Lu Zhiyao thought for a while, and put the medicine back into the porcelain bottle.If it's really a good thing, it's never too late to eat it.It's not too late to save it for later use.

Lin Yinan returned to the mansion, rested overnight, and got busy the next day.The story of them meeting assassins while traveling was quickly spread after they returned.Although Lin Yinan kept most of the visitors at the door, some people still had to see them.

After a busy day, Lin Yinan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the appearance of Lin Yixiang made Lin Yinan's good mood suddenly disappear.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Yixiang's displeased tone stunned Lin Yixiang for a moment.Sitting opposite Lin Yinan, Lin Yixiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't you come?"

"If it's useless to say something, then there's really no need to come here." Lin Yinan took a sip of tea, with a chill in his eyes. "If you have anything to say, say it."

"I just came to see you."

"Really?" Lin Yinan glanced at Lin Yixiang and said, "Every time you come to me, you always say the same thing. So this time, I don't think there will be an exception. Is it because of the assassin?"

Lin Yixiang was seen through by Lin Yinan, so he stopped going around in circles, nodded directly, and replied: "Yes. I want to ask, do you have any clues."

Lin Yinan stopped the movement of his hands, and put the teacup on the table.Looking at Lin Yixiang with deep eyes, Lin Yinan was not as casual as usual, and said solemnly: "What clue do I have? Is this what you want to ask yourself, or did the crown prince ask you to ask?"

"Of course it's me."

"Well, since it's you, I'll tell you the truth." Over the years, Lin Yinan and Lin Yichen had indeed had many conflicts, either explicitly or secretly.But like this time, it was the first time that he first killed two ministers beside him, and then blatantly came to assassinate him.As for these things, if Lin Yinan didn't believe it, Lin Yixiang would not know anything about it.

Lin Yinan has never objected to his elder brother and everything he chooses.Including that he stood on the side of the prince and opposed himself.Just like what Lu Zhiyao said, everyone has their own reasons, and everyone's difficulties are not easy.Lin Yinan also has a deep understanding of this point.But facing his relatives attacking again and again, Lin Yinan would be lying if he said that he was not angry at all.What's more, this time, outsiders were involved.

"I have told you more than once that I have no intention of competing with the prince for anything. This time, it is really the last time I say this, and please bring this back to the prince and the queen. If the prince is always afraid of me If there is any threat to his throne, then I can marry a wife like you, brother, and then let my father seal the throne for me. In the future, the throne will basically have nothing to do with me. However, if I should I have done all the things, and if you still don’t forgive me, then I won’t pretend that nothing happened. It’s not that I don’t have a reason to start a war with you, understand?”
