Chapter 41

In the room, it was a mess.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late to rescue you!"

Still in shock, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the mess in the room, and then glanced at the guard kneeling in front of him.

Lin Kong!

Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually turned cold.

What Xu Lan said was correct, the person who secretly protected Prince Lin and watched him was indeed Lin Kong.

And he almost killed Lin Jiangnian just now!

"Forgiveness?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him expressionlessly, with a hint of anger in his tone: "My son almost died at the hands of that assassin just now, do you know that?"

Lin Kong knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "It's my subordinate who came late to save you and disturbed His Highness, please punish him..."

"I'm afraid it's not because the rescue came too late, but because you don't want to save him?" Lin Jiangnian sneered.

Lin Kong lowered his head, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"You were able to stop the assassin in the first place just now, why didn't you take action?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at him coldly: "Or, do you want to watch my son die at the hands of the assassin?"

Hearing this, Lin Kong's expression changed suddenly: "This subordinate has absolutely no such idea."

"So, this son wronged you?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered again and again.

He dared to come to see this oiran alone, because he knew that Lin Kong was hiding in the dark.He is the commander of the guards of Prince Lin's son, and he is also responsible for protecting Lin Jiangnian.

Just now Lin Jiangnian dared to blatantly turn against the female assassin because he knew he was in the dark and would strike at any time.

But Lin Jiangnian still didn't expect that Lin Kong would dare to play this game with him?
If it weren't for Lin Jiangnian's instinct to be vigilant, I'm afraid he would really have received that slap just now!
Even if he does not die, the injury will not be light.

But his good guard and commander didn't act immediately!

What does he want to do? !

"My subordinates dare not!"

At this moment, Lin Kong still lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Jiangnian looked at him coldly. From the first day he arrived at the Prince Lin's mansion, he knew that the guard in front of him might not listen to the orders of Prince Lin's son at all.

It's even hard to say who he is.

But today, who instigated him to do this?
kite?

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that she wants to die by herself?

Feeling a little frightened in his heart, Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze and glanced at him coldly: "I will write down what happened today."

"This account will be settled with you later!"

Lin Kong still knelt on the spot, lowered his head: "Thank you, Your Highness."

At this time, a figure hurried in from outside the door.

Xu Lan ran into the room, and when she saw the mess outside the room, she subconsciously looked at Lin Jiangnian: "How is it? Are you okay? Where's the person?"

"Where's the assassin?"

"It's okay, run away!"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly.

"That……"

Xu Lan was about to ask something, but when he saw Lin Kong kneeling beside him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly noticed that Lin Jiangnian's complexion was not good-looking?
A livid and gloomy face seemed to be very angry.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Lan subconsciously asked in a low voice.

Lin Jiangnian did not speak. At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.Immediately afterwards, a guard grabbed a person and walked in.

"Your Highness, Yingfengyuan has been seized and seized. This is the bustard of Yingfengyuan!"

The guard threw a middle-aged woman to the ground.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life!"

The old bustard was frightened, trembling, quickly knelt down in front of Lin Jiangnian, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I, I really don't know where the assassin came from...Your Highness, be careful!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her blankly: "This assassin is the oiran of your Yingfengyuan, you say you don't know him?"

"Yes, it's Lu'er?"

The old bustard was stunned: "This, this is impossible... Lu'er, why, how could it be an assassin?"

The old bustard was about to explain something, but heard someone say: "Your Highness, I found an unconscious woman from the next room..."

Lin Jiangnian looked up, and saw a woman in a coma with disheveled clothes and only her underwear.

"Luer?"

Seeing this, the bustard quickly opened her eyes wide.

She is Su Lu?
Lin Jiangnian frowned, and then relaxed it.

It seems that the female assassin knocked out the oiran Su Lu, pretending to be the oiran and inviting Lin Jiang to assassinate her?

However, the suspicion that Yingfengyuan directed and acted itself cannot be completely ruled out.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with them?"

This is, the guard stepped forward and spoke respectfully.Glancing at Lin Kong who was kneeling on the ground with one knee, he was startled.

What's going on here?
"Take them all back!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it: "Check to see if they have colluded with the assassin!"

"Yes."

"..."

On the carriage back to the palace.

When Xu Lan learned what happened in the room, she suddenly realized: "You said that Lin Kong deliberately didn't take action immediately, because he wanted to kill you?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded, and said in a deep voice, "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

But Xu Lan frowned and became puzzled: "It shouldn't be! This Lin Kong is loyal to Lin Wang's mansion. He is the child adopted by Uncle Lin many years ago, and he is considered half of Uncle Lin's adopted son. He has no reason to want to harm you, right?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "What if the people behind him instigated it?"

"You mean...paper kites?"

Xu Lan was stunned, then shook her head: "That's even more impossible. Zhi Yuan was adopted by Princess Lin and brought up by Princess Lin's younger sister. It is absolutely impossible for her to harm Princess Lin's child."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Even you can harm the prince, why can't she?"

Xu Lan turned her head and snorted softly, "I'm different..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "If it wasn't for her instigation, why would Lin Kong dare to do this? Or is it because Lin Kong wants to give this son a blow?"

Guessing something, Lin Jiangnian sneered: "I am the prince's son, I am really aggrieved!"

"You're a fake!" Xu Lan pouted.

"Who says what's fake can't be true?"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly.

Seeing Lin Jiangnian's meaningful smile, Xu Lan's heart skipped a beat.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I do what I have to do."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly.

When he first arrived at Linwang's Mansion, he was worried about revealing his identity, so he was always cautious, pretending to be on thin ice.

Now that he is familiar with his identity and has gradually assumed the role, he can finally try to do some things he wants to do.

And what happened today is the opportunity that Lin Jiangnian has been waiting for!

Although dangerous!

But it also happened by coincidence!
……

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

forecourt.

"Pfft!"

Lin Kong knelt down on the ground, his face was ugly, and he was sweating profusely.

Not far in front of him, stood a cold figure.

Just standing there gave Lin Kong a great sense of oppression, which made him almost out of breath.

"Lin Kong, you are so courageous!"

Those cold eyes glanced at him, and the voice was gloomy and cold: "I ordered you to protect His Highness, and you are so dereliction of duty?"

Lin Kong's back was sweating coldly, and there was a faint tremor in his voice: "Subordinate, this subordinate is guilty..."

The kite stood where it was, shrouded in a cold and gloomy aura.

"If His Highness makes half a mistake, even if you have a hundred heads, it's not enough to chop off!"

"You have let me down too much!"

Lin Kong's face was pale, he bowed his head and said nothing.

He wanted to explain, but in the end he said nothing.

After staring at her coldly for a long time, Zhiyuan slowly put away her cold gaze: "For the sake of your service for the palace for many years, this time you will be temporarily exempted from capital punishment. From now on, you will be demoted to an ordinary guard and will be punished with a staff of one hundred." , reflect on it!"

Lin Kong lowered his head, his face pale: "Yes."

He stood up slowly, turned and left.

At this moment, Zhiyuan's cold voice came from behind him: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Lin Kong's heart skipped a beat, and he was taken aback.

"Your Highness will always be His Highness, he is your master and mine, and the future master of Linwang Mansion!"

Zhiyuan gave him a cold look at the end: "I don't want it to happen again!"

Lin Kong's head was blank, his mind seemed to be discovered, and he was discouraged.

"Yes."

He lowered his head, turned and left.

Zhiyuan stood where she was, until after a long time, she realized something and turned around.

At the end of the corridor not far away, a figure was quietly leaning against the door, looking at her with interest.

"Tsk, I didn't see that, you are quite protective of this son?"

Zhi Yuan glanced at it, then retracted her gaze, and said slowly, "Your Highness."

Lin Jiangnian walked into the yard and walked up to her.

Looking at the cold maid in front of him, as if thinking of something, he suddenly leaned in front of her, stared at her fair and cold face, and raised his eyebrows.

"You just said..."

"This son is your master?"

"Am I right?"

"..."
