son, don't mess around

Chapter 56 The Secret of the Seventh Floor
"The lord once told you that when His Highness makes up his mind to practice martial arts and step into the avenue, he will ask the servants to hand over this key to His Highness..."

Zhiyuan still lowered her eyes: "On the seventh floor, there are things left by the prince for His Highness."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the key in her bare palm, and then raised his eyes to the calm face of the kite in front of him.

I was a little stunned.

What does it mean?
Could it be that Lin Wang's son would change his mind one day?

Is the seventh floor of the Ruyi Building specially reserved for the Prince Lin's son?

If this is the case, does Lin Jiangnian count as a dove occupying a magpie's nest?

After being dazed for a while, Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhi Yuan, and took the key from her hand: "So, the Xuanyang Mind Method is on the seventh floor?"

Zhiyuan nodded calmly.

"Okay, then I will go and have a look."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, got up and walked towards the stairs on the seventh floor.

Zhi Yuan stood where she was, quietly watching Lin Jiangnian stepping up the stairs to the door on the seventh floor, and inserting the key in her hand into the lock hole of the iron door.With a crisp 'click', the iron door opened.

Zhiyuan watched Lin Jiangnian enter the seventh floor, her eyes seemed to be dimly lit.A ray of light from outside the building fell on her delicate side face, tall and slender, extremely cold and independent.

Like a dusty fairy, quiet and cool!
……

Just as Lin Jiangnian stepped into the seventh floor, a faint breath came in his face.Like aromatherapy, lingering in the air.

This made him feel a little strange.

This seventh floor has been locked all the time, and no one has ever entered it except Lin Wang.Logically speaking, it shouldn't be covered with dust, should there be an unpleasant and airtight dull atmosphere?

Lin Jiangnian looked around, seeing the dim seventh floor, which was different from what he had imagined.The seventh floor of the Ruyi Building is more like... a room?
An elegant room with antique decoration, the overall style is elegant and fresh. There are wall lamps hanging on the walls. When Lin Jiangnian approached, the wall lamps suddenly turned on, illuminating the whole room.

When seeing the decorations in the room, a startled thought emerged.

This place...could it be the bedroom of the late Princess Lin?
wrong……

Should it be said to be a replica bedroom?
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the furnishings in the room, and when he saw those familiar architectural structures, he gradually confirmed his guess.

Sure enough!

There are various items displayed in the room, and it can be seen that the owner of the items is probably a simple person. Everything in the room is simple and unadorned, without any luxury at all.It's unimaginable to put this in Linwang's mansion.

In addition, there is a pair of armor and a sword hanging on the wall beside it... On the desk not far away, there are several books that have been flipped through.

Could this armor and sword belong to that King Lin?

Why did Lin Hengzhong set up such a place in Ruyi Building?
Could it be...to commemorate that Princess Lin?

Didn't realize that that Prince Lin was still a man of affection?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed slightly.I also heard that since Princess Lin passed away, Prince Lin has no marriage, no concubines, only one son.

He is indeed an infatuated person!

Concentrating his mind, Lin Jiangnian remembered the business.Scanning his eyes, he felt a little suspicious again.

Since the seventh floor is the place where Princess Lin lived and where Prince Lin misses his dead wife, it is understandable to lock it up and keep others away.However, why did you leave the key to Zhi Yuan and ask her to hand it over to Prince Lin?

Here, is there anything special?
Lin Jiangnian looked around, but didn't notice anything special.The items displayed around were neat and tidy, and Lin Jiangnian didn't move around.The things placed here are all the relics of that Princess Lin.

Although Lin Jiangnian had never met that Princess Lin, after learning about her deeds from the woman in red, he also respected her.

Until the end, Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the desk not far away.The open books on the desk, and... and a letter?

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward slowly, walked to the table, and his eyes fell on the table.

There was indeed a letter on the table.

To be precise, it is a piece of paper.

On paper, there is only one sentence.

"Do what you want, my son!"

Put pen to paper, Lin Hengzhong.

Concise and concise one-liner, with clear handwriting and phoenix dance.

Obviously, these are the words that the Prince Lin left for the prince of Prince Lin.

Lin Jiangnian quietly watched the jargon, frowning slightly, and his doubts grew.

Why did Lin Hengzhong leave such a line?

The former Prince Lin was ignorant and had no interest in martial arts.How could Lin Hengzhong be sure that his son would change his mind?

So what is the purpose of what he left behind?
Why can't you say it face to face?
If you insist on handing over the key to Zhiyuan, what will happen?
Lin Jiangnian frowned tightly, unable to think about the result.He picked up the piece of paper in front of him, and under the paper was the half-open book. Lin Jiangnian picked up the book, and when he saw the contents of the book, his pupils shrank suddenly.

……

It's getting late.

Night fell gradually.

Ruyi Building, the sixth floor.

Zhiyuan still stood quietly on the spot, standing upright like a sculpture, with her hands behind her back, her eyes glanced out the window to the night, and from time to time she looked back at the door on the seventh floor.

Wait for a long time.

Until the night fell completely, Lin Jiangnian's figure finally appeared at the door of the seventh floor.

Lin Jiangnian walked out slowly, carefully re-locked the iron door on the seventh floor, and came to Zhi Yuan.

"Give you."

Lin Jiangnian handed the key to Yuan Zhi.

Zhi Yuan didn't answer, and lowered her eyes and said: "This servant is only temporarily keeping the key for His Highness, now that His Highness has gone down to the seventh floor, the key will naturally be handed over to His Highness."

"You're right, but..."

Lin Jiangnian still handed the key to her, and shook his head: "This son has a bad memory, and he is worried that he might lose the key someday. So, you should keep it safe for this son."

Zhi Yuan was slightly startled, raised her eyes to look at Lin Jiangnian, hesitated for a moment, and then took the key.

"Then, servant girl will continue to help His Highness keep the keys."

Lin Jiangnian nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the sky outside the building: "It's getting late, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jiangnian turned and went downstairs.

Behind him, Zhi Yuan stared blankly at Lin Jiangnian's back.For some reason, His Highness seems to have... changed?
what happened?
She subconsciously glanced back at the closed seventh floor, with doubts in her beautiful eyes.

On the seventh floor, what did the prince leave for His Highness?
After a while, Zhiyuan regained her senses, and then slowly followed.

Stepping out of Ruyi Building, Lin Jiangnian stood on the bridge breathing the fresh air, feeling refreshed.

Although the interior of Ruyi Building is still fairly ventilated, it is somewhat depressing after all, not as good as the air outside.

At this moment in the evening, the evening wind is blowing on the lake, and the scenery is beautiful.

Lin Jiangnian stopped in the middle of the bridge, looking at the scenery in front of him.Behind him, Zhiyuan also followed and stopped.

His eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian's relaxed and happy side face, as if thinking of something, Zhi Yuan suddenly asked: "Your Highness, have you obtained the Xuanyang Mind Method?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced back at her and nodded slightly.He seemed to think of something, and played with his taste: "You said that if this son practices the Xuanyang mental method, how long will it take to become a master?"

Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Practicing martial arts needs to be accumulated over time. If Your Highness is only thinking about quick success, you will not only be inferior, but may even... go crazy."

"Your Highness, be careful!"

However, Lin Jiangnian didn't seem to take Zhi Yuan's vigilance seriously, and asked again: "Accordingly, shouldn't this son miss the best opportunity to practice martial arts?"

"Is it still too late to practice martial arts?"

To practice martial arts, naturally the younger the better.

Lin Jiangnian has just started at this age, is it too late?

Zhiyuan just said indifferently: "If His Highness is willing, it's never too late."

Lin Jiangnian couldn't understand what she meant, but he didn't care too much.Glancing at the night on the lake, then at the kite beside him, he suddenly asked, "You are 17 years old, right?"

Zhiyuan was slightly puzzled, but still nodded: "Yes."

"17 years old...it's time to get married!"

Lin Jiangnian muttered to himself, looked at the kite again, and suddenly said meaningfully: "My son heard from the servants in the house that..."

"Are you my father's illegitimate daughter?"

"Is there such a thing?"

A chill suddenly flashed across Zhiyuan's eyes, her eyes were icy cold.

Lin Jiangnian's expression was normal, watching her reaction with a half-smile.
