The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 145 I Just Came to Thank You
After entering the room, Li Maonian had already sat down by the bed in the inn. Lin Jiaojiao looked around the room, and besides a bed, there was a wooden table with a bench to sit on.

After sitting down, she gestured to Xuemei with her eyes. Xuemei was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out the spike necklace that had been in her bosom for several days.

After holding it in the palm of his hand, he glanced at Li Maonian who was sitting upright. Those slender hands were lightly placed on his thighs. It looked nothing scary, but for some reason, there was always a little fear in his heart.

Maybe it was because he couldn't see the face under the black veil clearly, so he couldn't help feeling unknown fear.

She walked over with the spike necklace and offered it with both hands. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the black bamboo hat.

However, Li Maonian didn't seem to make any movement, and after a while, the hand that rested lightly on his lap picked up the necklace.

Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly retreated to stand behind Lin Jiaojiao.

At this time, no one had the intention to speak. Li Maonian took a look at the necklace, and rubbed his thumb lightly on the silver inlaid wolf teeth. There was a word cloud on it.

"Where did you get it?"

Lin Jiaojiao was inexplicably startled when the words were neither light nor heavy, and her face under the white gauze also paused. After breathing out slowly, she forced herself to calm down.

Then he said to Xuemei, "Go out and watch."

Xuemei was a little hesitant after hearing this, but then remembered what the empress often said about her being disobedient, so she quickly obeyed: "Yes."

When the door was closed again, Lin Jiaojiao turned her attention to the man, who had the intent to kill them just now.

If she dared to reveal Li Maonian's identity directly, it meant she had lived enough.

She cleared her throat and said: "The former Japanese princess found a little girl in the mansion, and this spike necklace was her belongings, but as far as this princess knows, this necklace belongs to Li Yun, the concubine of the Li family. "

After finishing speaking, Li Maonian seemed to be still looking at the necklace, and she didn't intend to speak, so she continued: "It is said that although Li's house was ransacked, two young children survived, so this princess took that girl When I returned to the hospital, I asked carefully, and found that she was probably the orphan of Mr. Li back then."

"Oh? What are your conditions?"

Li Maonian's voice was indifferent, and his tone was as calm as water, but in this calmness, there was a blade that could kill people at any time.

She didn't expect Li Maonian to be so direct, which was equivalent to breaking her mind, but she couldn't directly put forward the conditions.

Now that the matter of the Li family has been said almost, she can't go into details, and this urgent thing has to be done slowly.

After all, she still wants to go back alive today.

Looking at Li Maonian, she pretended not to hear, and said in a calm tone: "This time, my princess is just here to thank you for saving my lord."

As soon as the subject changed, Li Maonian had to look at her. Although she couldn't see the eyes under the black veil, she could feel it.

She continued: "Knowing that Mr. is not a man of the world, things of gold and silver should not enter Mr.'s eyes. This princess promises Mr. that if Mr. encounters any troubles in the capital, my lord will help him handle it properly."

After that, she looked at Li Maonian with bated breath, waiting for the next reaction, only to see Li Maonian clenched the necklace in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

This made her swallow even more.

After a while, Li Maonian got up and bowed to her: "I thank you, Princess Wang."

Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and nodded slightly: "If you don't give up, sir, you can visit the palace as a guest in the future. My prince is not a pedantic person."
