It really was an opportunity that came right to his doorstep. Song Yushu had arranged everyone and everything, except for the variable of Lin Zhiyao.
She calmly bowed to Lin Zhiyao and Lu Zhichen, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Miss Lin."
Lu Zhichen had never actually seen Song Yushu, but had only heard of his name. It was a thing his ninth brother made when he was bored, and now he has gone to the Prince's Mansion.
He only took one look at Song Yushu and lost interest. He thought it was unremarkable and didn't know what his ninth brother and the prince thought of it.
Lin Zhiyao was extremely dissatisfied. Even if Song Yushu was not in Prince Jing's Mansion, he should not have gone to the Prince's Mansion. Such a eunuch could only be worse. How could he still have a relationship with the Prince?
One should be able to choose the noble people in the world, so how can one take a disgusting eunuch into the house and pamper him in every way?
"Come here, drag him away and beat him to death!" Lin Zhiyao narrowed her eyes, not caring at all that she was outside the emperor's palace. "How dare a eunuch ignore me!"
When greeting King Yu, he asked first and put himself behind him. This is looking down on himself!
Hearing what Lin Zhiyao meant, Lu Zhichen glanced at Lin Zhiyao with dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
"Miss Lin, is your temper a little bit bad?" Unexpectedly, Xia Xingde spoke first.
He first saluted Lu Zhichen and looked at Lin Zhiyao with a mocking expression.
Lin Zhiyao glared at Xia Xinde with an unpleasant expression, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Everyone says that the Lin family is all-powerful, and there is some truth to that. Even in the imperial palace, in front of the emperor's palace, Lin Zhiyao's temper has not been restrained at all.
This also shows Lin's attitude towards the emperor.
"Miss Lin, you are so arrogant. You even speak like this outside the Emperor's palace. If you don't know me, you'll think the world belongs to you." Song Yushu was not afraid of Lin Zhiyao at all. "If you are so powerful, you should go to guard the northern border and not let the people in the northern border, which we fought so hard for, suffer so much."
Although Lin Zhiyao truly believed that the world belonged to the Lin family, she didn't say it out loud in front of the Emperor's palace. She only snorted softly, "How could a mere Yan State cause such devastation? You, a eunuch, are truly short-sighted."
"You only dare to say this in front of me. Why don't you say it in front of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Jing?" Song Yushu smiled faintly and stared at Lin Zhiyao. "I am indeed a eunuch, but I also care about the political situation. I don't just care about rouge and clothes."
When Lin Zhiyao heard Song Yushu mention King Jing, her face became darker and darker, but Xia Xingde looked at Song Yushu suspiciously.
"What did you say, you damn eunuch?!" Lin Zhiyao looked at Song Yushu in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would dare to talk to her like that.
Before Song Yushu could answer, Lu Yanzhou, who had just finished talking to the emperor, interrupted him and asked, "What are you making such a commotion in front of Father's palace?"
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years."
No matter how much they looked down on her, Lin Zhiyao could only salute with everyone else. She pursed her lips, very dissatisfied.
Lu Yanzhou glanced at Song Yushu, then looked at Lin Zhiyao, "Miss Lin, our father is in a bad mood right now. Please don't make such a fuss."
"I'm not the one making a fuss, it's your servants who don't even take me seriously!" Lin Zhiyao frowned at Lu Yanzhou, "You need to give me an explanation today!"
"Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Miss Lin?" Lu Yanzhou looked at Song Yushu and Xia Xingde with a sharp gaze.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Miss Lin." Song Yushu and Xia Xingde said in unison, but they didn't mean it very sincerely.
Lin Zhiyao was furious. In order to please the old master of the Lin family, she had been taking care of him by his bedside every day. Now that she finally got a chance to go out, she was humiliated like this.
Lu Yanzhou ignored her, nodded to Lu Zhichen, and walked away with his men.
"You!..." Lin Zhiyao wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu Zhichen.
"Yaoyao, you'd better restrain yourself in front of your father." Lu Zhichen glanced at the palace meaningfully. This is the imperial palace. Do you really think the emperor is deaf?
Lin Zhiyao took a deep breath, and finally had to compose her expression before entering the palace to report to the emperor about Old Master Lin's health condition.
The Lin family was too arrogant to send a woman to report. No wonder the emperor has become more and more dissatisfied with the Lin family recently. Lu Zhichen looked at Lin Zhiyao's back with disgust and turned away.
On the way back to the East Palace, Lu Yanzhou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Little Songzi, why did you provoke the eldest lady of the Lin family?"
"I just can't stand her arrogance, so..." Song Yushu took a step forward in fear and knelt down.
Lu Yanzhou's motto was humility and gentleness, especially in the palace. He was very gentle towards the palace maids. He smiled slightly and stared at Song Yushu on the ground. "Please get up. I don't mean to blame you, but I am still a servant after all. If the Lin family blames me, I will not be able to protect you. Do you understand?"
It was because Song Yushu had rashly spoken in front of the emperor's palace, which aroused his suspicion. Song Yushu understood in his heart, "I understand, Your Highness, please punish me."
"It's not a punishment. Just go to the inner prison of the palace and get a few beatings from the boards. If the Lin family asks for accountability, I can handle it easily." Lu Yanzhou sighed lightly, as if he really couldn't fight against the Lin family.
"Your servant thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Song Yushu bowed and followed Lu Yanzhou respectfully.
Xia Xingde did not feel happy when he saw Song Yushu being punished. Although he also suspected Song Yushu, he still felt that the prince was heartless.
