son, don't mess around

Chapter 359 The eldest princess takes the blame

Leng Buding was suddenly questioned by Li Miaomiao. Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. She got the news so quickly?

It seems that we still underestimate the eldest princess’s spy in Beijing!

The eldest princess seemed to know what Lin Jiangnian was thinking. She looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly: "Do you think you did it flawlessly?"

Lin Jiangnian was slightly startled. He understood something in an instant, and a sudden smile appeared on his face: "Of course not. Isn't this? Isn't it still possible to hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

He was indeed a little surprised, but it was not unexpected.

Lin Jiangnian used the eldest princess's token to leave the city in her name last night. Naturally, he couldn't hide this from the real owner. What she didn't expect was that she would get the news so quickly?
It was shorter than Lin Jiangnian expected.

The eldest princess stood in the pavilion, her beautiful figure in white clothes, lonely and proud, her calm eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, and after looking at Lin Jiangnian for a long time, she said coldly: "Why did you kill Zhao Changyuan?!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and saw the eldest princess staring at him, as if she had already seen through him.

Lin Jiangnian first had a look of confusion on his face: "Who is Zhao Changyuan?"

The eldest princess looked at him coldly: "Why do you have to pretend anymore?"

She exposed Lin Jiangnian with one glance.

Lin Jiangnian was silent. After a moment, he sighed and said, "How could His Highness think that I killed him?"

"if not?"

The eldest princess spoke calmly.

There was no unnecessary nonsense, as if he had already determined that Lin Jiangnian had killed him.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian said, "Your Highness, everything must be based on evidence... Without evidence, how can you believe that I killed the person?"

The eldest princess was still staring into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and she naturally heard what Lin Jiangnian was saying. After a moment, she said expressionlessly: "People from Mitiansi came to see me!"

Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned and stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was going on!

Zhao Changyuan was the Great Protector of Mitiansi. His death was more serious than Chen Feiyang's death!

In addition, Mitiansi's masters have been attacked and killed one after another during this period, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. As expected, Mitiansi will do everything possible to investigate the truth!
Last night, Zhao Changyuan was assassinated outside the capital. Not long after Zhao Changyuan left the city overnight, Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su also happened to leave the city.

The two men's whereabouts out of the city in the middle of the night will inevitably arouse Mitiansi's suspicion.

Last night, Lin Jiangnian went out of the city in the name of handling affairs for the eldest princess. Naturally, Mi Tiansi would be suspicious of the eldest princess.

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized and understood everything in an instant.

"It seems that I have caused trouble for the eldest princess?"

Lin Jiangqing coughed: "People from Mitiansi suspect that the eldest princess killed Zhao Changyuan?"

The eldest princess stared at him: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head in denial.

The idea of ​​killing Zhao Changyuan last night was purely a temporary idea, and Lin Jiangnian didn't think too much about it. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that... the eldest princess really took the blame for him!

Although Mi Tiansi did not dare to act rashly, he probably already suspected the eldest princess.

Lin Jiangnian borrowed her name to leave the city last night. He had suspicious motives, but the eldest princess couldn't explain it. In addition, the great protector's martial arts were extremely high and unfathomable, and few people in the capital could compete with him.

But it just so happened that the eldest princess in front of her was also extremely skilled in martial arts, and she just met that rare condition!

In addition, Mi Tiansi was controlled by the eunuch in the capital, Chen Zhao had conflicts with His Highness the Crown Prince, and the eldest princess and His Highness the Crown Prince were siblings, so the two had a very good relationship...

It has to be said that the eldest princess almost satisfied all the motives for killing Zhao Changyuan. In this case, it is completely reasonable for Mi Tiansi to suspect her.

I have to say that this time, the eldest princess really took the blame for Lin Jiangnian.

"I have no intention of blaming Her Highness the Princess. What happened last night was purely coincidental..."

Li Piaomiao stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes without saying a word.

After a while, he said expressionlessly: "Why did you kill him?!"

At this point, it was useless for Lin Jiangnian to hide it. Although there is no evidence for what happened last night, the eldest princess already knows that he killed the person.

Therefore, young Lin Jiang sighed and said: "Of course it is to cut off the Mitiansi gang members!"

After hearing this explanation, the eldest princess stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, her cold face seemed slightly suspicious.

"Do you have any grudge against Mitiansi?"

“It doesn’t happen now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.”

Lin Jiang young smiled and said: "Nip problems in the bud."

The eldest princess glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.

She could tell at a glance that Lin Jiangnian was not completely telling the truth.

However, she doesn't care about this!
In her eyes, Zhao Changyuan is just a dog raised by her father. If he dies, he will die!

"You owe me a favor."

The eldest princess looked at Lin Jiangnian indifferently and spoke coldly.

Mi Tiansi was afraid of Li Piaomiao's identity and did not dare to investigate her, but at the same time, Mi Tiansi would definitely suspect her.

Even if there is no evidence, the eldest princess in front of him has helped Lin Jiangnian attract most of the attention to a certain extent.

She didn't betray Lin Jiangnian, which was indeed a big favor.

"Thank you very much, Princess, for your generous action!"

Lin Jiangnian cupped his hands and said.

The eldest princess stared at him and interrupted Lin Jiangnian: "How do you plan to repay?"

"How does Her Highness the Princess expect me to repay?!"

Lin Jiangnian blinked.

I didn't expect the eldest princess to speak so straightforwardly.

"What do you say?"

She stood quietly in the pavilion, looking down at him. His face was expressionless, but he had an aura of calmness and authority.

Lin Jiangnian approached slowly, walked into the pavilion, and came to the eldest princess. As he got closer, he could feel the coldness on the eldest princess' body more and more.

It seemed as if a chill came over her, causing the air around her to drop slightly. She still stood there quietly, looking at Lin Jiangnian indifferently.

Lin Jiangnian was sitting at the table in the pavilion. On the stone table in front of him was the 'Silver Moon Sword' that the eldest princess never left her body.

The sword lives up to its name, and has the same temperament as its master, filled with an indescribable chill.

Young Lin Jiang touched it lightly, and soon felt the coldness permeating the sword, as well as a hint of murderous intent.

In the pavilion, Li Miaomiao saw Lin Jiangnian's hand on her sword, and his cold eyes wrinkled slightly, imperceptibly.

The eyes are getting colder!

"It is indeed a good sword!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh. He raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who was wrapped in an indifferent temperament. He waved to her: "Why do you keep standing, Your Highness?"

The eldest princess said nothing and looked at him coldly.

"Don't you, Your Highness, want me to repay the favor?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed and said, "I have some news here. I wonder if His Highness is interested in it!"

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian's tone suddenly changed: "Aren't you curious, Your Highness, as to why I left the city overnight last night?"

Li Piaomiao stared at him and said nothing.

"Killing Zhao Changyuan was just a temporary idea. The real purpose of my going out of the city last night was to see what he was doing secretly in the middle of the night... Guess what happened?"

"I really discovered a big secret!"

Lin Jiangnian looked into Li Miaomiao's eyes with a hint of amusement on his face: "Guess what I found outside the capital?"

Li Piaomiao still didn't speak.

The face becomes colder!

She doesn't like this rhetorical style of communication.

But the guy in front of me seems to like this.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say!" the eldest princess said coldly.

Seeing the impatience on the eldest princess's face, Lin Jiangnian spoke leisurely and slowly.

"I discovered the Third Prince's private army outside the capital!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiangnian stared at the eldest princess's face for reaction.

I saw her expression was slightly startled, and then she became calm again.

Lin Jiangnian realized something instantly and narrowed his eyes: "Have you known this for a long time?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while, then said: "I guessed it!"

"Guess?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized.

Indeed, the purpose of the third prince staying in the capital has long been known to everyone.

Even Lin Jiangnian knew that the third prince probably had a private army, so how could the eldest princess not guess it?

"You haven't checked?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"He hid it very deep!"

The eldest princess spoke silently, then raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "How did you know?"

"Just like you, I'm guessing!"

The eldest princess stared at him, expressionless: "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Of course not."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly. The eldest princess in front of him already knew about the third prince's support of a private army. If nothing else, the prince might have known about it already, so it wouldn't be a secret at all!
"Judging from the recent signs outside the city, your imperial brother may take action in the near future."

Lin Jiangnian reminded me again: "I'm afraid he will cause chaos."

Hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.

Silent, didn't speak.

She had long known Li Yuan's ambition. From the beginning, his goal was to become the crown prince.

She had reminded the prince many times, but the prince always took into account the relationship between brothers and was unwilling to completely break up. He was even willing to give up his position as crown prince.

This behavior is nothing short of stupid!

She tried to persuade the prince, but to no avail.

The prince has an indecisive character and is indeed not a qualified emperor.

But Li Yuan... is even more inappropriate!
Although the situation between North Korea and China is unstable, it has not yet reached that level of chaos. The prince suddenly fell ill some time ago, although there is no evidence to prove it. But the prince fell ill, which was unbelievable and had to arouse suspicion!
It was hard for her not to wonder if Li Yuan was behind this!

Does he want to raise a private army...

But as soon as the idea emerged, she gave up the idea in her mind.

Not too possible!

It would be difficult to achieve anything by relying solely on the private army under his command, let alone rebel!

Not to mention that the capital city is strictly defended and heavily stationed. There are imperial guards even inside and outside the palace, making it impregnable.

If Li Yuan comes by force, he won't get any benefits!
"And one more thing!"

Seeing the eldest princess lowering her head and thinking deeply, Lin Jiangnian added: "When I followed Zhao Changyuan out of the city last night, I discovered a secret..."

"Zhao Changyuan has connections with the third prince's private army."

"Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"..."

After hearing the news, Li Miaomiao, who was still bowing his head in deep thought, suddenly raised his head.

"What did you say?!"

The eldest princess's reaction was within Lin Jiangnian's expectation.

He chuckled lightly and said: "The third prince has an affair with Chen Zhao. It is very possible that the two of them are colluding together!"

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's voice word for word, Li Miaomiao's expression changed slightly!

Obviously this news was beyond her expectation. It also made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

"you sure?"

She stared at Lin Jiangnian and asked.

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Why should I lie to you?"

The eldest princess was silent.

He didn't speak again, and his face gradually became serious.

She was not worried about the private army under the third prince. It would be impossible for just one private army to rebel.

But if the third prince had Chen Zhao's support, the situation would be completely different...

"Chen Zhao..."

The eldest princess looked solemnly.

Although this person is just a eunuch beside his father, no one dares to look down upon him!
This man is favored by his father, controls Mitiansi, and has many masters of hawks and dogs under his command. He has huge power in the court and no one dares to look down upon him!

From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for eunuchs to disrupt government affairs. But there are very few people like Chen Zhao who control such huge power.

More importantly, the father had great trust in this person, and his power in the palace was far higher than that of her and the prince.

The most deadly thing is...

If the third prince wants to rebel, the biggest problem before him is how to quietly break through the capital's defenses and the palace guards!
And Chen Zhao happened to have the power to freely enter and exit the capital and the imperial city!
Thinking of this, the eldest princess' expression changed slightly.

If you don't anticipate this in advance, the consequences will be disastrous if you are caught off guard.

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the eldest princess who was silently thinking. Her face was still cold, but there was a bit more solemnity on her face.

Lin Jiangnian knew that his purpose of coming here today had been achieved!

"Is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess satisfied with this favor sent by me?"

The eldest princess glanced at him and said solemnly: "This news is very important!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said: "As long as the eldest princess is satisfied, then we will be considered clean between you and me?"

The eldest princess looked at him and said nothing.

After a while, he nodded expressionlessly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

The purpose of coming here today has been achieved, Lin Jiangnian stood up and prepared to leave.

He was somewhat uncomfortable staying with the eldest princess.

She is too cold!

Although he is quite good-looking, his cold appearance, like a lump of ice, makes it difficult for people to be sexually interested.

It's better to go back and tease Xiaozhu and bully Zhiyuan.

Furthermore, this eldest princess doesn’t understand the world at all. She came all the way to meet the prince, and she didn’t even have a cup of tea!
This way of waiting for guests... How unlucky would it be for anyone to marry her?

excuse me!
Lin Jiangnian stood up to say goodbye, turned around and left the courtyard.

The eldest princess stood there, quietly watching Lin Jiangnian's figure go away without saying a word.

……

Lin Jiangnian was about to go back. He had just walked a few steps after leaving the yard when he ran into a figure.

A young woman wearing a brocade dress appeared in Lin Jiangnian's sight. When she saw Lin Jiangnian, she was slightly stunned, and a touch of joy appeared on her face.

"His Royal Highness?!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the familiar-looking girl in front of him, confused.

"You are...Jinxiu?!"

"..."

　Thanks Tinker Bell for the great reward! ! !
