Lou Yan didn't know what he had done wrong, and he couldn't figure out why Qin Zhen was angry.
She agreed that she had something to talk to him about, and as soon as she walked out of the East Palace gate, Qin Zhen left without looking back.
What's even more outrageous is that he is not allowed to chase her.
Lou Yan had a cold face, like a debt collector, a bit colder than the King of Hell.
Linglong looked frightened, lowering her head and not daring to provoke him, for fear that this person would explode suddenly.
Lou Yan watched Qin Zhen's back disappear, took a few steps forward, and then suddenly came back to his senses and asked Linglong: "Why do you think she was angry?"
Linglong's mouth twitched, her face full of confusion: "Why?"
Lou Yan turned his head to look at her, hating that iron could not become steel: "You don't even know this, what use do you have?"
exquisite:"……"
Your Highness, you don’t know, how could I know?
At this moment, Linglong felt that His Highness the Third Highness was simply unreasonable, just like that unreasonable street shrew.
Linglong took a deep breath and then said tentatively: "Maybe... the princess saw you being bullied by the prince, so she was angry."
Lou Yan was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth without saying anything.
is that so?
So, is she feeling sorry for herself?
Lou Yan looked at Linglong with bright eyes and said, "You are very good."
Linglong couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. She didn't know who was useless just now.
The gloom on Lou Yan's face was wiped away, and his whole mood improved visibly. The murderous temperament on his body also softened, and he felt as if he had returned from the underworld to the earth.
Linglong thought, she didn't know where her highness learned this unique skill of changing faces.
Not long after Lou Yan was in a good mood, he raised his head and saw the fourth prince Xiao Yao walking towards him.
Lou Yan's eyes instantly darkened.
Linglong also frowned slightly and glanced at Lou Yan subconsciously.
Lou Yan stood there, waiting for Xiao Yao to walk towards him.
Xiao Yao had a smile on his face, and as soon as he approached, he called out: "Third brother."
Lou Yan nodded silently.
The last time the two had a good conversation was when Xiao Yao went to the Third Prince's Mansion to ask for his help in finding the miracle doctor Murong Yan. After that, although the two met from time to time in the court, they never had a good conversation again.
What's more, since the queen's death, Xiao Yao seems to have become a different person.
In the past, the fourth prince spent too much time in the palace and could not stay in the palace for more than three days in a month. But recently, the fourth prince lived in seclusion and began to conscientiously complete the tasks assigned to him by the emperor, and his whole person became calm.
Recently, the fourth prince has gradually begun to have a place in the court.
Even the emperor often praised the fourth prince.
Xiao Yao looked like he was before and said to Lou Yan: "Third brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right? When I have a chance, I will definitely have a drink with you."
After a pause, he added: "There is also the matter of Dr. Murong... Although my mother was not lucky enough to let Dr. Murong treat her, you did get Dr. Murong back for me at that time. This feeling,
I have always kept it in mind and will definitely repay Third Brother if I have the opportunity in the future."
Lou Yan finally spoke and said lightly: "How can I repay you?"
Xiao Yao was stunned: "What?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?" Lou Yan said slowly, "So, how do you want to repay me?"
After Xiao Yao heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "Third brother is really different."
He folded his arms and said with a smile: "What does the third brother want in return?"
Lou Yan spoke directly: "Concubine Shu is of too low a background to enter the imperial mausoleum after her death, and cannot be buried with His Majesty. You are the Queen's biological son, so why don't you go and ask His Majesty for an escalation to Concubine Shu?
Grant her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum and stay with His Majesty a hundred years later?"
Xiao Yao's eyes instantly turned cold.
Soon, Xiao Yao's expression returned to normal, he smiled and said, "The third brother has a good relationship with Concubine Shu?"
Lou Yan: "It's really good."
Xiao Yao nodded and said: "When she was seriously ill, you had to serve her wholeheartedly regardless of the risk of infection. Later she passed away, and now you have to ask for this favor for her... Third brother, if you don't know, you think you and Concubine Shu
The empress is mother and son."
Lou Yan's expression did not change and he said calmly: "It's not that mother and son are better than mother and son."
Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't help you with what Third Brother asked for. I will repay Third Brother for seeking medical treatment for me when I have the opportunity."
After that, he walked towards the East Palace.
After the people left, Linglong on the side let out a long breath.
The two people were facing each other just now, and the tension was so high that Linglong didn't even dare to breathe.
"Why do you think this slave already knows something?" Linglong couldn't help but murmured.
Xiao Yao's words just now were too pointed.
Lou Yan said casually: "Otherwise, how do you think the assassin came?"
Linglong's expression changed instantly: "You said those assassins are..."
"Linglong!" Lou Yan interrupted her coldly and said in a deep voice, "You have been following me for a long time, why are you so surprised?"
Linglong is not a person who is easily shocked, she was just too shocked.
She lowered her voice and said, "We did that perfectly, how could the Fourth Prince know about it?"
Lou Yan didn't say anything, but his eyes were clear.
How did Xiao Yao know?
He never thought that he could keep this matter a secret.
The passing geese leave traces, and paper cannot contain the fire. One day the truth will be revealed.
Lou Yan left the palace and went directly back to the Third Prince's Mansion.
As soon as I entered the study and sat down, there was a knock on the door, and a boy came in with tea in his hand.
After placing the tea on the table, the boy did not leave. Instead, he stood beside Lou Yan and spoke in a low voice.
"Before and after the death of the Crown Princess, there was nothing unusual in the East Palace. The only exception was the Crown Prince's concubine Yan Yu."
"Half a month before the death of the Crown Princess, Yan Yu went to Qin's house with her child in her arms. After coming out, she sent people away and left alone for an hour, then returned to the East Palace."
Lou Yan was holding tea in his hand. Hearing this, he stopped drinking the tea and looked straight at the boy.
"You mean, Yan Yu went to see Zhen Zhen?" Lou Yan asked in a deep voice.
The boy nodded.
Lou Yan raised his hand and placed the teacup on the table, then rubbed his brows silently.
After a while, Lou Yan lowered his voice and said: "Let the people in the East Palace deal with the aftermath. This matter ends here. No one is allowed to bring it up. The death of the Crown Princess can only be due to illness. Do you understand?
"
The boy shuddered and whispered: "Yes, I understand."
After the boy retreated from the study, Lou Yan leaned back and murmured: "Zhen Zhen, what do you want?"
He could already feel that Qin Zhen didn't just want to cause trouble for Xiao Jue or simply wanted his life!
