Lu Zhixing was silent for a while, asked a few more questions, and then disappeared into the shadows.
It was not until Lu Zhixing had walked for a long time that Ling'er finally came to her senses. During the time when her master had disappeared, no one could stop King Jing except Song Chun.
"Ling'er..."
Just as Ling'er covered her chest to relieve the pain, Shanyue in the room shouted.
"Hey, Master."
Shan Yue sat on the bed with messy hair and sleepy eyes, "Did anyone come to the room yesterday?"
Ling'er froze for a moment, then gave a fake laugh. "No? Ling'er was guarding outside yesterday, and no one came in."
Shanyue rubbed her eyes, still feeling somewhat puzzled. No one came last night. Was she dreaming? And dreaming of touching a handsome man?
Forget it, forget it. Thinking too much will give me a headache. Shan Yue shook his head and said, "Let's wash up first."
In the next few days, Song Yushu wandered around the Prince's Mansion, especially the courtyard where Lin Zhiyao lived.
She even invited a troupe of actors to perform outside Lin Zhiyao's courtyard.
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Lin Zhiyao couldn't help it and rushed out.
Shan Yue sat leisurely in the rocking chair and fanned herself, looking at Lin Zhiyao and smiling slightly, "I want the Lin family to never be so arrogant again, and those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned. I want your family to be reunited."
"That's just wishful thinking!" Lin Zhiyao didn't seem to be so irritable these days. She didn't jump up, but just sneered, "The Lin family will return to Kyoto sooner or later! When that happens, not only will you die, but everyone in your run-down villa will die too!"
"Then wait and see who dies." Shanyue showed no sign of weakness.
Lin Zhiyao and Shan Yue looked at each other for a long time, their eyes filled with bloodshot, but finally turned around and went back.
Ling'er poured a cup of tea for Shanyue, "Master, how come she has become so smart?"
"Those two in the palace, especially the Queen Mother, are no pushovers." Shanyue had already figured out everything about the Lin family.
The Queen Mother and the late Old Master Lin are the soul figures of the Lin family. Lin Zhiyao is the connecting point of the Lin family's last effort, and they will not allow failure.
"Then what should we do?" Ling'er was a little worried. After all, even if the empress dowager no longer had her previous glory, the emperor still had to appear to be able to live up to her expectations.
"The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and Lin Zhiyao is Lin Zhiyao." Shan Yue said calmly, "She used to be such a proud and arrogant child, but now she has to live under someone else's roof. She can't stand it for much longer."
"Even if Lin Zhiyaoyao is more financially powerful, would our Luoxue Villa be weaker financially? Get her!"
Ling'er became happy again and clapped her hands repeatedly, "Yes, Master!"
Lin Zhiyao did receive a secret letter from the Queen Mother, in which she was advised not to conflict with Luoxue Villa.
The Lin family now can only keep a low profile and form an alliance with the prince. Only when the prince ascends the throne in the future can the Lin family rise again.
The various incidents involving Lin Zong in the northern border that were exposed at Luoxue Villa had already led the emperor to directly order them to move out of the city and keep them under strict supervision. It would be even more difficult if something happened to Lin Zhiyao again.
Lin Zhiyao had experienced a profound fall from grace, had to live under someone else's roof, and now had to fawn over the Crown Prince! She had been very patient! But she hadn't imagined that the people at Luoxue Villa were so vicious.
"What did you say?" Lin Zhiyao looked at the maid in front of her with a gloomy expression.
"Madam Zhang said that the silk and jewelry in the mansion have been given to Miss Shanyue, so they can't be given to you..." The maid stood aside in fear, but had to say it.
As expected, Lin Zhiyao slapped him in the face. "Useless thing! How much money did that old man take from me? You can't even explain such a small matter?"
The maid fell to her knees with a plop, her eyes filled with resentment. "Miss, it's not that I didn't explain clearly, but Aunt Zhang kicked me out right after she finished speaking. I'm just a second-class maid, I really can't compete with her!"
"Idiot!" Lin Zhiyao took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Get out!"
In Shanyue's room.
Ling'er vividly described to Shanyue the scenes of Lin Zhiyao being humiliated at every turn. "Master, you don't know this. She beat up all the maids in her room and smashed everything in the room to pieces! But she was quite obedient and didn't even go outside to cause a scene."
"It's okay, she's almost losing her patience." Shanyue had already read all the files at Luoxue Villa and knew every member of the Lin family very well. "Just wait two more days at most."
Because she received a secret letter from Luoxue Villa, King Jing was stimulated by something and insisted in the court that he would put Lin Zong and his son from the northern border into prison, a prison in the northern border.
That prison is under the jurisdiction of King Jing, which means that Lin Zong’s good days are truly over.
Because of King Jing's actions, the amount of silver and money in Lin Zhiyao's hands shrank dramatically, and Lu Yanzhou's attitude towards her became increasingly cold.
But Shanyue didn't expect that before Lin Zhiyao arrived, another person would come to his door.
"Miss Shanyue, I wonder when you will be coming in? I can make arrangements in advance."
This person is the legitimate daughter of the new Minister of Justice and Lu Yanzhou's new concubine. She let Shanyue look at her with a kind expression.
Smiling tiger, this was Shan Yue's first impression. She said frankly, "I will not enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, Concubine Jiang, don't worry."
"His Highness dotes on you even more than that Lady Lin, and you've only been in the palace for a few days." Concubine Jiang smiled and shook her head. "How many people dream of entering the Crown Prince's Palace? You're just vying with Lady Lin right now."
Shan Yue curled her lips in disdain. "That's those people's dream. Wouldn't it be better for me to be free and easy at Luoxue Mountain Villa? Concubine Jiang, let me be clear. I'm here for Lin Zhiyao."
"Lin Liangdi is deeply favored by His Highness. If you keep confronting her, it would be inappropriate and might even bring disaster to Luoxue Villa." Concubine Jiang's smile deepened as she took a sip of tea.
"So I need your support, Concubine Jiang." Shan Yue personally poured her a cup of tea. "Of course, I believe Concubine Jiang also doesn't want that person to stay in the mansion forever."
After all, the Queen Mother and the Empress are still alive. Even if the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne, Lin Zhiyao will still be Concubine Jiang's biggest enemy.
Concubine Jiang's raised lips slowly smoothed out. She stared at Shan Yue closely and said, "You are King Jing's man, and also His Highness's enemy. Do I support you?"
"That depends on whether Concubine Jiang wants two enemies or just one." Shan Yue shrugged, looking indifferent.
Although Concubine Jiang's father was the Minister of Justice, his family was not that prominent after all. She only knew some of the inner court. "How can I believe that you won't enter the mansion?"
"To be honest, I like beautiful things, Concubine Jiang." Shan Yue smiled slightly, "Do you think the Crown Prince is more handsome than King Jing?"
