son, don't mess around

Chapter 113
In the quiet room, there was an extra figure, waiting for a long time.

It was the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Lan!
When Lin Jiangnian saw her, he was somewhat surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Xu Lan glared at him lightly.

"Of course."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and didn't care about this girl.

When this girl enters the palace, it is the same as entering her own house, and it is normal for her to appear at any time.

However, this girl's sense of existence is indeed very low these days.

Some time ago, she was grounded by her father, so she finally slipped out of the house, ran to Lin Jiangnian and stayed for a day, and then Lin Wang came back, so many things happened during this time, and I didn't see her for several days.

Not to mention, Lin Jiangnian was somewhat uncomfortable without her chattering in his ear.

"However, can you change your bad habit of breaking into my room?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and walked to the table.

"Hmph, Miss Ben is happy!"

Xu Lan snorted softly, staring at Lin Jiangnian, as if thinking of something, her eyes were a little complicated: "Hello."

"how?"

"Are you going to the capital?"

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

"Xiaozhu told me."

Xu Lan snorted softly, then glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?"

"What kind of a big deal is this?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Do I have to notify you specifically?"

"you……"

When Xu Lan heard Lin Jiangnian's tone, she seemed a little indifferent, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

During this period of time, a lot of things did happen. The last time she slipped out of the house, she was discovered by her father, and was arrested and refused to go out.

Coupled with King Lin's return, the city of Linjiang was in turmoil these days. Hearing that King Lin was assassinated in his residence, the danger was high. Although she wanted to go out very much, she still held back.

It wasn't until the limelight passed that he couldn't wait to run to find Lin Jiangnian.In the end, Lin Jiangnian was not found, but Xiao Zhu who came back from the courtyard got the shocking and unexpected news!

Lin Jiangnian is going to the capital?
Are you going to marry the eldest princess in Beijing? !
When hearing this news, Xu Lan was in a daze!

She couldn't be more clear that the current Lin Jiangnian is a fake, he is not Prince Lin's son at all...

However, others don't know? !
Everyone thought he was Prince Lin's son, and Prince Lin himself had a marriage contract with the eldest princess. Now that Lin Jiangnian was going to Beijing to marry the eldest princess, she had already expected it.

It's just that when she actually heard the news, she felt an emotion that she couldn't describe.This fake guy actually wants to replace the real Prince Lin's son to marry the eldest princess?
How to describe this feeling?
Xu Lan was inexplicably worried about gains and losses, and originally wanted to go home directly.But he still couldn't hold back, and waited until Lin Jiangnian came back, wanting to confirm the news.

"You... are going to marry that eldest princess back?"

Xu Lan couldn't help asking tentatively.

"That's it."

Lin Jiangnian's answer was ambiguous.

It is true to enter the capital, but as for marrying that eldest princess... that may not be the case!

"Humph!"

Seeing his perfunctory expression, Xu Lan snorted again: "Are you going to keep this matter from me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked strangely, "When did I hide it from you?"

"If I don't come today, Xiaozhu didn't tell me... don't you plan to tell me?"

Lin Jiangnian shrugged: "Can you blame me? I can't go to your Xu's house in person and tell you that I'm going to the capital to marry the princess?"

Xu Lan was startled and blinked her eyes.

Like, does that sound weird?
but……

"Then I don't care...it's all your fault anyway!"

Xu Lan couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt uncomfortable, so she slapped the table and said angrily, "You're leaving, what should I do?"

"you?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were even more strange: "What does it have to do with what you do when I'm gone?"

"I……"

Only then did Xu Lan come to her senses, her face turned red immediately, a little unnaturally, she quickly turned her head and waved her hands: "I, what I mean is...you are gone, me, where am I going to have fun in the future?"

"This Linjiang City is so boring. How long will it take you to go to the capital now? It must not take a year or so? If you leave me alone in Linjiang City, won't you be bored to death?"

She was originally a temperament that couldn't stay, otherwise she wouldn't come to Lin Jiangnian every now and then, and now Lin Jiangnian was about to leave suddenly.Xu Lan had mixed feelings in her heart, worrying about gains and losses.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she was inexplicably emotional.

Still vaguely... reluctant?
And inexplicable unhappiness!

I can't tell, I'm just not happy anyway.

"You say that, is this son your pleasure?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"Huh, that's right!"

Xu Lan spoke uprightly.

Only she dared to talk to Lin Jiangnian like that.

Lin Jiangnian curled his lips, "Do you think I am willing to enter Beijing, and go to the capital after a long journey to marry a woman I have never seen before?"

Xu Lan was startled, then blinked again: "You don't want to?"

"if not?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Is it because the maids in Linwang's mansion are not fresh enough? If it's not impossible, I have to travel across mountains and rivers to marry a strange woman thousands of miles away?"

"Think about it with your uncivilized head!"

"You scolded me again?!"

Xu Lan glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily, but soon thought about it again: "It seems... makes sense?"

That's right, this guy is now the son of Prince Lin, and there has never been a shortage of women around him, let alone Linjiang City, there are many maids in the mansion, such as Zhiyuan, or the little girl named Xiaozhu from before. maid.

He really didn't need to rush to the capital to marry a princess?

Could it be that she simply valued her status as a princess?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan felt much more comfortable.

She glanced at him gloatingly: "Who told you to be Prince Lin's son?"

Double entendre.

Lin Jiangnian ignored her, and Xu Lan gloated for a while, but soon lost interest: "But you still want to go to the capital, won't I be too bored if you leave?"

"How about you take me with you?"

Xu Lan had a somewhat hopeful look on her face. After staying in Linjiang City for so long, she was already tired of it. She always wanted to venture into the outside world, but she never had the chance.

Hearing that the land in central Beijing is completely different from the south, she has always wanted to see it.

"you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down: "Will your father agree?"

"Won't……"

Xu Lan soon became dejected again.

Her father doesn't allow her to come to the palace now, so how could she let her go out with Lin Jiangnian.

"Isn't that enough? I'm your father, so I'm going to be mad at you!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "I have a long journey to Beijing this time, full of dangers, and I am not going on vacation, so you should stay here with peace of mind."

Xu Lan immediately put on a downcast face: "But, it's really boring..."

"or……"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Since you are bored, why don't you find something to do?"

Xu Lan looked at him with hopeful eyes: "For example?"

"Find someone to marry."

"..."

Xu Lan's face was flushed, and she glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Ben, Miss Ben... Never, never marry!"

"Didn't you say it was boring? Wouldn't it be easier to find someone to marry, husband and raise children?"

"I do not!"

Xu Lan's face was blushing, and she glared angrily: "My lady is still young... besides, I, I don't want to marry..."

Speaking of this, her voice became softer for some reason, and she subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiangnian. Seeing his playful smile, she immediately became a little angry from embarrassment.

"Do not laugh!"

"Then there's no way!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand.

Xu Lan's face was still a little blushing, and the girl's posture could be seen at a glance.He hummed and chirped a few times, but he didn't know what he was muttering.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, and suddenly remembered something. He raised his eyes and glanced at the doors and windows. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed, he turned his eyes to Xu Lan again: "I want to ask you something?"

Xu Lan was thinking about it, when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words, she was taken aback, and said subconsciously, "What's the matter?"

"It's the same question as last time."

Lin Jiangnian sat across from her, staring into her eyes without speaking.

Xu Lan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Jiangnian's sudden gaze.

"You, what are you doing looking at me like that?"

"You, what do you want to ask?!"

Just as Xu Lan's thoughts were extremely complicated, Lin Jiangnian suddenly said, "You, why did you murder Prince Lin's son before?!"

"..."

Night falls.

A beautiful figure jumped off the carriage and returned home.

"Miss, are you back?"

The servant girl in the mansion rushed to greet her, Xu Lan was expressionless, and seemed a little bit out of spirits.

"Miss, you slipped out today, the master already knows..."

"I see."

Xu Lan still had no expression on her face, and returned to her yard, chased away the maids and servants in the mansion, and stood alone in the yard.

Looking at the empty atmosphere around the courtyard, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loneliness.

Very uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because her mother passed away early, she never liked being alone since she was a child, and hated the kind of loneliness that was alone.

Today, when she learned that Lin Jiangnian was about to leave Linjiang City, she felt inexplicably dazed and reluctant, as if something was suddenly taken away from her heart.

Inexplicably flustered!
tension!

It's strange, why didn't I feel this way before?

She stood in the courtyard, looking up at the moonlight. In the sky, the moonlight was cunning and slowly falling to the ground. Xu Lan was sitting on the steps under the eaves, with her hands wrapped around her knees, and her pretty face was filled with a bit of confusion.

"Sorry, I screwed up..."

Xu Lan muttered to herself, biting her lower lip, her fair and delicate face became more and more confused: "He has already guessed something, but... I didn't tell him the truth, but..."

"He's leaving now too!"

Xu Lan sat quietly under the eaves for a long time, until finally, she slowly restrained the emotions on her face, a trace of determination appeared in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and immediately got up and went outside the courtyard.

"Come on."

"Miss, what's your order?"

"Where's my father?"

"Master is in the study..." Before the servant girl finished speaking, she saw Xu Lan hurriedly leaving.

……

Linwangfu, in the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian sat in the room with deep eyes.

Xu Lan didn't say anything after all!

She is one of the few people who knows about Lin Jiangnian's fake identity, and she is also one of the "real culprits" who murdered Prince Lin's son.

But when Lin Jiangnian asked the reason again, she was still unwilling to say anything.

However, Lin Jiangnian saw something strange on her face.

Obviously, it was not her intention to murder Prince Lin's son. There must be someone behind her.

It's just that Lin Jiangnian has not found out who is instigating her.He had asked Lin Kong to investigate before, but there was no clue yet.After all, the Xu family is not a small family, and has a deep connection with Linwangfu, so it is difficult to find out.

The only breakthrough right now is Xu Lan.

However, she didn't want to say it.

Although Lin Jiangnian still had doubts, she didn't ask any more questions. There must be a deep and unknown purpose behind her doing so.With Lin Jiangnian's departure from Linjiang City this time, the truth and the person behind it may gradually reveal themselves.

And this is also one of Lin Jiangnian's real purposes for entering Beijing this time.

Just when Lin Jiangnian was full of thoughts, a petite figure appeared outside the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes: "Come in."

Xiaozhu walked in cautiously.

Lin Jiangnian waved at her, and she approached step by step.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Jiangnian pulled her into his arms and sat her on his lap.

Xiaozhu immediately blushed, and her delicate body tensed up: "Your Highness..."

Since last night, His Highness has become more and more bold, and Xiaozhu is extremely nervous and shy.

"Is the hot water ready?"

Lin Jiangnian put his arms around the little girl in his arms and asked with a light smile.

Since Zhi Yuan left, no one in the palace stopped Lin Jiangnian from doing anything.Xiaozhu in front of him naturally couldn't escape his clutches.

Don't worry anymore that the kite will suddenly break in and cause bad things.

seem……

This feeling is not bad?
"Yes, ready!"

Xiao Zhu lowered his head, the base of his ears almost turned red.

"Let's go take a bath with this son!"

Lin Jiangnian patted the little girl's buttocks lightly: "Wipe my back."

The little servant girl blushed, rubbing her back?
Really just rubbing your back?

Thinking of what happened last night, Xiaozhu's face was hot and red, and she was extremely shy.When he was about to get up, Lin Jiangnian hugged him by the waist and walked towards the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... Let go, let the servants come down!"

"Be obedient and don't move."

"……Oh!"

"..."

In Linjiang City, it has been quiet for a few days since the news that Prince Lin was assassinated in his residence last time.On a calm day, everything is safe and sound.

Until this day, another breaking news came from Linjiang City!
According to the emperor's decree, Lin Wang's son will go to the capital to marry the eldest princess of the dynasty from now on.

As soon as this news came out, it once again aroused heated discussions among the people in the city.

Some people were extremely angry, and scolded how this son of a bitch could marry the noble princess?The eldest princess is unparalleled in intelligence, beautiful in martial arts, and looks like flowers stuck in cow dung.

Some people happily set off firecrackers to celebrate... This son of a bitch has finally left, and this time he won't be able to return for a year or so. It's really great, Linjiang City is peaceful.

There are also some people who are hiding in the dark, and after hearing the news, they have already started to move around.

Outside Linjiang City, in a certain courtyard, Li Qianlin, who escaped from Linjiang City, had a gloomy expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The son of a bitch really left Linjiang City?"

"It's absolutely true. It was found out yesterday that there were many carriages leaving the city in Linwang's mansion, and someone saw that son of a bitch showing up. It can't be wrong!"

"very good!"

A look of excitement appeared in Li Qianlin's cold eyes.

"He finally came out! This time, it will be his death!"

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered during this period, Li Qianlin's face became extremely gloomy and hideous.

"When do we do it?"

"Not urgent!"

Li Qianlin's face was gloomy: "Linzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, when he leaves Linzhou, it will be his death day!"

"This time, no one can save him!"

"..."

Linwangfu.

Another sunny day.

Ruyi Building.

In front of the balcony window, two figures are playing chess.

"Jiang Nian has already left Linjiang City."

Lin Heng fell heavily and sighed lightly.

Mr. Li's eyes were cloudy, "Your Highness is worried about His Highness's safety?"

"That's not something to worry about."

Lin Hengzhong shook his head lightly. This time when Lin Jiangnian entered Beijing, he had made all the preparations.

What's more, entering Beijing this time is a cover!
Instead, he was worried that those people would not come.

"This king is just worried about whether he can gain a foothold in Beijing."

Lin Hengzhong sighed softly, the complexity of the capital is far more serious than imagined.

"After all, the distance between Beijing and China is too far. The enemies of this king are all there. If they attack this time..."

"My lord, there is no need to worry about this. Your Highness is calm and mature. Even if you are in the middle of the capital, you don't need to worry too much."

Mr. Li glanced at Lin Hengzhong: "What's more, isn't this a necessary process for His Highness to inherit the throne of the prince?"

Lin Heng nodded emphatically, this is the real reason why he let Lin Jiangnian enter Beijing!
Whether he can marry the eldest princess is not important, the key is whether Lin Jiangnian can grow during this trip to Beijing.After leaving the protection of Prince Lin's Mansion, can he stand on his own and gain a foothold in the capital where there are many powerful enemies?

This is a test for him, and it is also a necessary experience!

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Li even gave the Qiushui sword to Jiang Nian." Lin Heng took a look at him again: "It is indeed beyond my expectations."

Mr. Li said lightly: "It's just a broken sword. It's a waste to keep it here. It's better to leave it to His Highness. Maybe it can play a little role."

Lin Hengzhong didn't say anything more, and finally said, "You lost."

Mr. Li's eyes were cloudy, but there was a smile on his face: "Yes, I lost!"

Lin Heng stood up: "Let's stop here today, I still have some business to deal with."

Mr. Li nodded: "My lord, please go ahead."

Lin Hengzhong left Ruyi Building, went out of the attic, walked across the suspension bridge, and came to the shore.

On the shore, Zheng Zhiming waited quietly for a long time.

When Lin Hengzhong approached the shore, Zheng Zhiming stepped forward and whispered something in Lin Hengzhong's ear.

In the next second, Lin Hengzhong's eyes froze suddenly.

"Where is the person?!"

"..."
