son, don't mess around

Chapter 167

Lin Jiangnian, who came out of the cell in the basement, stood in the courtyard breathing the fresh air and relaxing his mind.

The dull underground cell is airtight, giving people an extremely depressing and terrifying aura.After staying for a while, Lin Jiangnian felt uncomfortable.No wonder Wang Qin collapsed like that.

How could the son of the prefect, who was accustomed to enjoying the riches and wealth since he was a child, endure such torture?
Thinking back to what Wang Qin said in the dungeon just now, the smile on Lin Jiangnian's face gradually disappeared and became serious.

If Wang Qin hadn't lied, once the secret he told was spread out, I don't know how many people would be involved in it, and it would even cause a series of chain reactions.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. For him, this may be good news and bad news.

The third prince was involved, and once the incident was exposed, the situation of the third prince would be extremely dangerous. Perhaps Lin Jiangnian could take this opportunity to avenge his previous revenge.

But on the other hand, the exposure of this matter will also involve Lin Jiangnian in this turmoil, which is not what he hopes to see.

Although Lin Jiangnian had a plan for entering Beijing this time, he did not intend to get involved in the struggle in the capital after all.His identity is too sensitive, once he attracts everyone's attention and becomes the target of public criticism, the loss outweighs the gain.

Standing in place, hesitant for a long time, there was still no answer.

"Where's Qingqing?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his head and asked the guard beside him.

The guard beside him said solemnly and respectfully, "Your Highness, Commander Lin has not returned yet."

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly and sighed again.

He is short of useful people around him now.

Now by Lin Jiangnian's side, the only subordinate he could possibly trust was Lin Qingqing.Except for Lin Qingqing, he didn't know how many eyeliners and uncertain factors were mixed in these princely relatives.

Lin Jiangnian couldn't believe it.

In addition, Lin Kong may be barely usable.However, this time when the back mountain secret room exploded, Lin Kong was affected by the explosion to save him, and was seriously injured. He stayed outside the city to recuperate with other members of the Shizi family who were also injured.

Looking around now, Lin Jiangnian did not have many reliable people around him.

It seems that he has to find a way to cultivate some real cronies that he can use.

Lin Jiangnian looked up at the figures in the courtyard. These people were all loyal guards who belonged to Linwangfu.

But whether he is loyal to him, the prince's son, is not certain.

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew that no matter whether it was in Linwang's mansion or in the Linzhou army, few people took him seriously as the son of Linwang.

How could anyone be willing to listen to a Prince Lin who was hard to convince?
Lin Jiangnian is well aware of this, and entering Beijing this time is a good opportunity to break the situation.As for how to cultivate cronies, Lin Jiangnian gradually had a general idea in his mind.

After leaving the side yard next door, Lin Jiangnian returned to the yard.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he bumped into a hurried figure with his head down.

"Ouch!"

A petite figure slammed into Lin Jiangnian's arms, subconsciously stretched out his hands in pain, rubbed his little head, and raised his head.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Seeing His Highness, Xiaozhu first showed a joyful and excited smile, then quickly thought of something, and her little face gradually became guilty.

"What are you doing in such a panic, are you a thief?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the little maid, and then saw Xiaozhu looking around and talking about him, something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the position behind her, this is...

The direction of the kite room?
"No, no..."

Xiao Zhu shook his head in a flustered tone.

However, her acting skills in lying were so poor that she couldn't hide her emotions at all.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down.

The little maid lowered her head, with an aggrieved expression, faltering: "I, I..."

Lin Jiangnian immediately put on a straight face: "What? You are a little girl, how dare you hide something from me?!"

Hearing this tone, the little servant girl's delicate body trembled slightly, and the expression on her face was about to cry: "Xiao, Xiao Zhu dare not, I, I..."

Xiaozhu quickly waved his hands, lowering his head and not daring to lift up: "I... Your Highness, just, just..."

The little maid was flustered and stuttered, not knowing how to explain.The more anxious and flustered she became, the less she could speak, so she stomped on the spot in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian's face softened slightly: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Xiaozhu took a few deep breaths, then gradually calmed down, raised her head and glanced at His Highness quietly, seeing that His Highness was not angry, she was slightly relieved: "Yes, it's Sister Zhiyuan..."

"What happened to her?" As expected, Lin Jiangnian expected it.

"Sister Zhiyuan, she, she..."

Xiaozhu hesitated and struggled, finally lowered his head and gritted his teeth, guilty and fearful: "Sister Zhiyuan, I know, I know..."

Lin Jiangnian was surprised: "Know what?"

"That's right..."

Xiaozhu spoke intermittently, stammering, and finally told the whole story.

It turned out that not long after Lin Jiangnian left, Xiaozhu suddenly ran to Zhiyuan, originally wanting to apologize to Zhiyuan and confess the fact that he had become a little traitor.

But she didn't expect to be called into the room by Zhi Yuan to help her apply the medicine.After taking the medicine, Zhi Yuan suddenly asked about the relationship between Xiao Zhu and Lin Jiangnian...

Where would Xiaozhu lie?Confused, facing Zhi Yuan's question, he explained everything in detail.

Including how she was brought into Beijing by His Royal Highness after Zhi Yuan left Linwang Mansion, how His Highness bullied her along the way, and how His Highness tricked her into looking at goldfish on the night of entering Yanzhou and then...

After finishing speaking, Xiaozhu's head lowered, and his hands were intertwined nervously: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I, I..."

After she finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have said too much.

Your Highness knows, will you be angry?
After all, that, that is a secret between her and His Highness...

As a result, sister Zhi Yuan now knows all about the result... Xiaozhu is very uneasy.

Lin Jiangnian was indeed a little stunned. Didn't expect Xiaozhu to tell all these things?

What was even more unexpected was, why did Zhiyuan ask about this?
Lin Jiangnian suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and when he was about to say something, he lowered his head and saw Xiaozhu's pitiful, guilty and anxious appearance, and his heart softened a little.

"Okay, it's alright."

Lin Jiangnian reached out and touched her little head: "If she knows it, she knows it, and it's not a big deal."

Xiaozhu didn't dare to raise her head, her face was flushed, shy and hot: "But, but..."

"Your Highness, no, don't you blame Xiaozhu?"

Xiaozhu asked anxiously.

"Strange!" Lin Jiangnian nodded sternly.

Xiaozhu panicked immediately: "That, that..."

"so……"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, and suddenly moved closer to Xiaozhu's ear: "You have to accept the punishment, so I'll punish you for warming the bed for my son tonight..."

In an instant, Xiaozhu's delicate body trembled slightly, and the roots of her ears turned red instantly.

Biting her lower lip, her originally flustered eyes instantly became charming and shy.

In the end, he still didn't dare to look up, but subconsciously nodded his little head.

"Ah."

"..."

The little maid blushed, lowered her head and clenched her fists and hurried away.

Lin Jiangnian stood where he was, squinting his eyes, full of joy.

Counting the time, I haven't experienced the feeling of Xiaozhu warming the bed for some time.

The weather is getting colder, so I miss it a little.

Thinking of Xiaozhu's soft and warm body, curled up in his arms like nephrite jade, Lin Jiangnian was somewhat moved.

As for what Xiaozhu just mentioned, it was not a big deal in his eyes.Now Lin Jiangnian is not the same as he was a few months ago, and Zhiyuan is not the former Zhiyuan.

After leaving Prince Lin's Mansion, the previous master-servant relationship between the two of them was gone.

What can she do if she knows?

When she was still in Linwang's mansion, Zhiyuan used various reasons to restrict Lin Jiangnian from harassing Xiaozhu, and even used Xuanyang's mind to set Lin Jiangnian up in secret.

but now……

Can she manage it?
Lin Jiangnian was in a happy mood, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he glanced not far away from the corner of his eye.

Under the eaves not far away, a cold figure watched him quietly.

Poker face.

His face was indifferent.

Temperament is like ice.

Just staring at Lin Jiangnian like this, the atmosphere in the whole courtyard seemed to be much colder.

For some reason, when he saw this extremely beautiful but indifferent face, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt guilty?
He was a little stunned, but soon came back to his senses.

"Why are you here?"

when did she show up

Have you seen it all?

Zhiyuan didn't speak, but looked at him expressionlessly, then slowly moved her gaze away, and landed on the yard beside her.

Lin Jiangnian, who was about to leave, thought for a while, then walked lightly to the roof and came to her side.As soon as he got closer, he felt the indescribable indifference on Zhi Yuan beside him.

Reject people thousands of miles away.

It was as cold as when I saw her for the first time in Linwang Mansion.

Lin Jiangnian stared at her profile for a long time, but didn't speak.

He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

After a while, Zhiyuan looked at the courtyard with a still cool look, as if in a daze.

"I heard from Xiaozhu that she gave you the medicine?"

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth and glanced at Zhiyuan's back. The thick clothes covered her figure, and no trace could be seen.The clothes wrapped around her body slipped off, and her eyes fell on the slender willow waist.

Zhiyuan still didn't speak.

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect her to answer, and quickly changed the subject: "I went to see Wang Qin just now, and I didn't expect to find out a big secret from him..."

Speaking of this, Lin Jiangnian paused.

The kite still didn't move.

However, she could vaguely see her originally calm eyes twitching slightly.

"What? Are you not interested?"

Lin Jiang smiled young.

Zhiyuan still didn't speak.

"Since you're not interested, forget it."

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian turned around and prepared to leave.

However, he had just taken two steps when he heard Zhiyuan's cold voice behind him.

"What secret?"

The voice was still cold.

Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw Zhiyuan staring at him expressionlessly.

"Are you going to look at this son with a stinky face?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke lightly.

Zhiyuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, she lowered her eyes, and remained silent for a long time, hesitant to speak.

In the end, nothing was said.

"Ok?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Jiangnian pressed her every step of the way.

Zhiyuan was silent for a long time again: "I, no."

"No?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered, "Do you want to look in the mirror?"

Although her cold face at the moment is indeed beautiful.At first glance, it is indeed stunning, with a kind of unattainable and glamorous beauty.

But it's a bit boring to keep such a cold face all the time.

Lin Jiangnian naturally didn't intend to spoil her.

Zhiyuan took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked at the courtyard calmly: "If your Highness doesn't like it, you don't have to look at it."

"It's better not to look at one."

Lin Jiangnian was happy, he stared at her twice, and suddenly took a few steps closer.

Zhi Yuan sensed Lin Jiangnian approaching, and was almost instinctively on guard.

But Lin Jiangnian suddenly approached, staring at her desolate, delicate and beautiful face: "Who said I don't like to look at it?"

As soon as the words fell, it was obvious that the expression on the face of Zhiyuan in front of her was slightly startled, and even her breathing became a little short for a moment.

Very unnatural.

The fluttering eyelashes trembled slightly, and quickly avoided it.

"However, this son really doesn't like your ugly face all day long."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her, "As the maid of the present son, it is very important to cater to the master's preferences. Since I don't like it, you should change it!"

Zhiyuan was silent, "How to change it?"

"Shouldn't you be happy to see this son?"

Lin Jiangnian had a half smile but not a smile: "Give me a laugh first?"

Paper Kite: "..."

"will not."

"Will you or don't want to?"

"will not."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian really had a headache when faced with such a reckless maid.

However, Lin Jiangnian is not what it used to be.

Seeing that Zhiyuan was still acting like I'm doing whatever you want with this virtue, Lin Jiangnian's eyes flickered, and he gently stretched out his hand.

Zhiyuan was suddenly vigilant, subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Jiangnian didn't retreat, but pressed closer.

No matter how far back the paper kite is, no matter how close Lin Jiangnian is.

Finally, Zhi Yuan suddenly raised her eyes, her voice was cold with an imperceptible sense of panic: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

"Self-respect?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian sneered, staring at Zhiyuan's face: "My son suddenly remembered something..."

"The thing you said last time, still counts?"

An imperceptible panic flashed in Zhiyuan's eyes, she turned her gaze away, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Just that time..."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly approached her ear, smelled the familiar body fragrance of Zhiyuan, took a deep breath, and said with a half-smile: "You said that time, as long as my father agrees, you are willing to sleep with my son?"

"Before this son came this time, he specifically asked my father. Guess what?"

Zhiyuan was startled suddenly, and the expression on her face froze at this moment.

In my mind, I vaguely remembered that when she was in Linwangfu, she seemed to have said that?

only……

Zhi Yuan raised her eyes subconsciously, and saw Lin Jiangnian staring at her with a bright smile on his face.

"My dad agrees!"

In an instant, a touch of shyness surged up.Zhiyuan's delicate body tensed up, subconsciously wanting to escape.But in the next second, he was embraced by a pair of tightly bound hands, and a familiar hot breath rushed over.

"do not……"

Zhiyuan's head went blank for a moment, and the hot breath approached, causing her who was always cold to panic instantly.

at this time.

An abrupt voice sounded suddenly.

"Your Highness, Miss Zhiyuan, I..."

A loud voice sounded in vain, and stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

Lin Qingqing appeared at the gate of the courtyard not far away.She was looking at the scene under the eaves in disbelief, and swallowed subconsciously.

"No, it's all right... Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I didn't see anything, you, you continue..."

"..."
