son, don't mess around

Chapter 110 Fulfilling the Promise
Although he already knew Zhi Yuan's true identity, he also knew that she was indeed not a qualified maid in the palace.Neither Prince Lin nor anyone else in the manor treated her as a maid.

But at least in name, she is Lin Jiangnian's maid.

So……

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's slightly barbaric words, Zhi Yuan's exquisite brows frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed.

He raised his eyes, looked at Lin Jiangnian, and suddenly said, "Your Highness wants to keep me?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "You are my son's maid, so you are my son's man. If you leave, this son will not be at a loss?"

Zhiyuan didn't speak, just quietly looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.The eyes of the two intertwined, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze a little bit.

After a while, Lin Jiangnian looked away and sighed softly: "When are you going to leave?"

Zhi Yuan was startled, but quickly withdrew her eyes and said calmly, "Just these two days."

"Do you need my son to send you?"

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head lightly: "No need."

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the kite in front of him, feeling a little emotional in his heart.After a while, he suddenly said, "Can I ask a question?"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes, but said nothing.

"If this son doesn't let you leave the palace, will you still leave?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke.

Zhiyuan was silent, as if obviously stunned for a moment, thinking about this question carefully, a trace of hesitation flashed on her delicate appearance.

Finally, she nodded: "Yes."

"Do you have to leave?"

"Ah."

"The reason?"

Lin Jiangnian asked: "You hate this son?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a while, without speaking.

"Really hate it?"

Lin Jiangnian seemed a little surprised, so he asked again.

Zhiyuan's cold face remained calm: "Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"What do you say?"

"The truth doesn't sound good."

"Then stop talking."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, he already guessed the answer.It's just that I don't want to ask.

If it doesn't sound good, don't say it.

"It seems that you really hate this son?"

Lin Jiangnian said to himself and sighed: "Is this son so unbearable?"

Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian in front of her. Under the night, this familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared.

She was a little dazed.

After a while, he suddenly said softly: "At least the current Highness...is better than before."

Lin Jiangnian looked up at her: "How do you say that?"

Zhiyuan didn't explain too much, just shook her head slightly.Glancing at the night, he said softly: "It's getting late, and the servant is sleepy. If Your Highness is fine, please go back."

The tone is very light, but it is an order to evict the guest.

But Lin Jiangnian didn't hear it, he still looked at the indifferent maid in front of him, always with the same expression.

He sighed lightly: "Will you come back?"

Zhiyuan lowered her head slightly, avoiding Lin Jiangnian's sight, and hesitated for a long time in silence.

Still no answer!
"Okay, my son knows."

Lin Jiangnian calmed down and waved his hands: "If that's the case, then we, master and servant, will see each other by fate?"

Zhiyuan still didn't speak.

"go to bed early."

Lin Jiangnian glanced back at the night in the courtyard, and said, "It's really getting late."

After that, he turned and walked away slowly.

Zhiyuan stood under the eaves, quietly staring at the back of Lin Jiangnian leaving, motionless.

After Lin Jiangnian's figure disappeared for a long time, she still didn't come back to her senses. She just stared at the night and remained silent for an unknown amount of time. It was not until the dead of night that she slowly retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and her expression remained calm.

Then, she turned and went back to the room.

Close the door, go to the cabinet next to the room, open the door, and take out a small box from inside.

The box is very delicate, with exquisite patterns carved on it, it looks a little old, and it has been around for some years.

Zhiyuan opened the box, and there was a hairpin in the box. The hairpin seemed to be made of wood, not expensive, but it could be seen a bit delicate.

It's not a valuable thing, but Zhiyuan is cautious, as if she had found a treasure.

Staring at the hairpin in the box, his eyes were in a trance.

"princess……"

Zhiyuan muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes becoming more and more confused.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window at night.

"Princess, Your Highness, he..."

"Your Highness is no longer..."

Zhiyuan murmured to herself, her cold eyes showed daze and hesitation, as well as a look of difficulty in making a decision.

……

As night fell, Lin Jiangnian dragged his exhausted body back to his small courtyard.

In the courtyard, several servant girls waited for a long time.

"Your Highness!"

The little maid was also among them, and she approached cautiously: "Is Your Highness hungry, do you need a meal?"

"The hot water is ready, does Your Highness want to take a bath?"

Today's little maid is already familiar with the process of serving His Royal Highness, and is extremely considerate.

After a day of exhaustion, Lin Jiangnian felt unspeakably tired physically and mentally. He glanced at the pink and jade-carved little maid in front of him, and nodded: "Let's eat something first."

The servants quickly prepared the food, and after Lin Jiangnian ate a little, he went to take a bath and change clothes under the service of the maid.

Taking off his clothes, he soaked his whole body in the pool in the medicine bath, feeling the effect of the medicine on his skin, and Lin Jiangnian's exhaustion was washed away for a short time.

He quietly soaked in the pool, squinting his eyes, recalling the series of things that happened today.

Liu Su left, quietly!

What was even more unexpected was that she and Zhi Yuan were half-sisters.When he went to see Zhi Yuan earlier, Lin Jiangnian was going to bring this up, but in the end he held back.

Although they are half-sisters, there is indeed a blood relationship between the two.

but……

The relationship between the two may not be good.

There may not be that kind of touching scene where relatives meet and hug each other and cry bitterly.

Strictly speaking, Zhiyuan is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and Liu Su can only be regarded as the illegitimate daughter of Uncle Jiang's mistress who was raised outside!
The relationship between the two may not be good, not to mention that the Jiang family was wiped out more than ten years ago, and it is difficult to explain the grievances and relationship of the previous generation.

Lin Jiangnian also vaguely guessed that when the two met last time, they probably reached some kind of agreement.As for what it is, Lin Jiangnian is not clear, but he is not in a hurry.

Right now Liu Su is going back to the Heavenly God Sect, as for Zhi Yuan, she has to leave too!

When he went to see Zhiyuan tonight, Lin Jiangnian planned to keep her.But when he saw the kite, Lin Jiangnian changed his mind.

Like Liu Su, she couldn't be stopped.

During these two months of getting along, Lin Jiangnian clearly saw that Zhiyuan, a little maid, was rebellious.On weekdays, he often fights against Lin Jiangnian. Now even if Lin Jiangnian insists on staying, how can he keep her?

After all, her departure was promised by Lin Hengzhong.

What's more, what Zhiyuan was going to do was more important... Jiang's family was wronged, slandered and rebelled more than ten years ago, and the entire family was executed.For Zhi Yuan, this is a blood feud.Now that the enemies have shown up, and Zhi Yuan is going to take revenge, Lin Jiangnian will naturally not stop her.

but……

Lin Jiangnian gradually narrowed his eyes.

Although he won't stop Zhiyuan, he won't just watch Zhiyuan leave the palace either.

"Is it the Jiang family in Yanzhou?"

Lin Jiangnian was talking to himself, until after a long time, he slowly got up, wiped his body, and changed into a suit of clothes.

Push the bathroom door and walk out.

Outside the door, the little maid stood quietly at the door, lowered her head, and quietly raised her head to take a look, as if thinking of something, she blushed, "Your Highness."

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, looking at the little girl with her head lowered in front of her, and her pink and jade-like face, she seemed to think of something, "Xiaozhu?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Zhu raised his head in a daze, and looked at His Highness: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"come over."

Lin Jiangnian waved at her.

Xiaozhu didn't know why, so she approached subconsciously: "What orders does Your Highness have..."

Before she finished her order, she felt her delicate body staggering.In the next second, a big hand rested on her shoulder and hugged her into his arms.

"ah!"

Xiao Zhu exclaimed, and only realized something after standing still.

When she realized that she was hugged by His Highness, and felt His Highness's familiar and hot breath, Xiaozhu's pretty face flushed, and she stammered nervously: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you, you..."

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, looked down at the flustered, nervous and shy little maid. He hugged her, lowered his head slightly, and leaned into her ear, with a half-smile and said, "By the way, what you promised to my son earlier Things, haven't you fulfilled your promise?"

Xiaozhu looked shy, her face was flushed, and she was flustered and nervous: "I, Your Highness, Your Highness...I didn't...what, what promise..."

The little girl's head was blank, and she didn't remember for a while... When did you agree to His Highness's matter?
What delivers on the promise?
"Ok?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes immediately: "You must have forgotten, right?"

"Forget, forget?"

Xiao Zhu opened his eyes wide in a daze, trying hard to recall.

What did she promise His Highness? !

only……

Her head was in a mess right now, she was nervous and scared, shy and dazed, and couldn't think of it all at once.

Since this period of time, she hasn't been able to get along with His Highness for a while, and has even been ignored by His Highness... How can she promise anything?

Lin Jiangnian stared at the pink and jade-like face of the little girl in front of him, pinched it lightly, and when she was panicking, he whispered to her ear again.

"Warm the bed!"

The soft voice made Xiaozhu's tender body tremble, and Shui Ling's eyes suddenly opened wide!
Warm, warm the bed? !
This, this is not before...

Xiaozhu clenched her small fists under her sleeves nervously, with an indescribably shy look on her face: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I..."

She was about to explain something, but saw Lin Jiangnian with a straight face: "What? Have you forgotten?"

"Want to renege?!"

"No, no..." Xiaozhu hurriedly waved his hands in denial.

"That's good!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded in satisfaction, and without giving her a chance to defend herself, he stretched out his hand and slapped the round buttocks behind the girl: "Go, wait for this prince in the room!"

"Help me warm the bed, don't be lazy!"

"ah!"

Xiao Zhu's face was as red as an apple, she bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes were shy and filled with a trace of grievance and resentment.Clutching her little butt, she ran away in despair!
……

In the dead of night, outside Linjiang City.

Somewhere in a residential house.

"Saint!"

In the courtyard, under the dark moonlight, several figures were kneeling.

A beautiful figure in a suit appeared under the eaves, quietly glanced at the people in front of her, and said lightly: "Get up."

Everyone in the courtyard got up, and the atmosphere was dull.

Liu Su, who was wearing a long red dress, stepped out of the eaves slowly and came to the courtyard.Under the moonlight, this bright red dress looked extraordinarily mysterious and enchanting.

"The plan to assassinate Lin Hengzhong failed this time. If there is no accident, Linwang Mansion will take action soon. Let everyone in the sect temporarily avoid the limelight and evacuate Linjiang City."

"Yes."

In the crowd, someone whispered: "Saint, is it too trivial? We have so many believers hiding in Linjiang City, and they have lived peacefully for so many years. Can he find out in Linwangfu?"

Liu Su was expressionless, and gave this person a cold look: "Are you questioning my words?"

The man trembled all over, and quickly lowered his head: "No, I dare not!"

The saint is the second only to the leader in the sect, not only her status, but also the unfathomable martial arts strength of the saint, which is unmatched by no one in the entire sect except the leader.

It is also because of this that no one dares to refute what the saint said in the church.

No one dared to question it anymore. After a brief gathering, all the people present dispersed separately.

Liu Su stood in the courtyard, watching everyone leave expressionlessly.Only then did he take a deep breath.

"Cough cough..."

She turned pale and coughed.

"Saint?!"

At this moment, a figure appeared under the eaves.

If Lin Jiangnian was present, he would be able to recognize this person at a glance. It is the excited little girl who caught him in the ruined temple back then.

The little girl came forward with a panicked face: "Saint, are you injured?!"

How could the saint get hurt?
"It was Lin Heng who injured you seriously? How is your injury, saint? Is it serious?"

"It's okay!"

Liu Su lightly clutched her chest and shook her head: "The injury is no longer a problem, don't worry."

Being severely injured by Lin Heng, her injuries are considered serious. Under normal circumstances, it will take a month or two to recover.

but……

As if thinking of something, Liu Su's pale face became pink.That Xuanyang mental method is indeed a rare healing and miraculous mental method in the world.

She bit her lower lip lightly, looking ashamed and angry.But immediately, the beautiful eyes gradually became in a trance, and they looked up at the distance of the night, as if thinking about something.

It was not until a long time later that he looked back.

"Linger."

"Saint, I am here!"

The little girl on the side spoke.

"Master, where are you now?" Liu Su asked.

The little girl said: "The leader's letter came from Beijing..."

"Beijing?"

Liu Su was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Get ready, follow me into Beijing to meet the leader."

Ling'er opened her eyes wide: "Saint, you are going to see the leader, but the leader said... let you stay in Linjiang City, and continue to monitor and control that fake prince..."

"I know!"

Liu Sumei's eyes were calm: "But I have very important matters, and I need to meet the leader in person."

Ling'er raised her eyes in surprise, and said worriedly: "But in case the leader blames you, saint, you..."

"It's okay!"

Liu Su raised her eyes and looked not far away, her expression calm.

She is going to the capital, to meet the leader, to ask him a question!
