son, don't mess around

Chapter 454: Your Highness is in a Good Mood

After his eyes casually glanced at Miss Xu again, Lin Jiangnian collected his thoughts and looked away.

Get up and get dressed.

The movement was so gentle that it did not wake up Xu Lan who was still sleeping.

Xu Lan, lying on the floor, was still sleeping soundly.

Although the posture is indecent, it looks pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, as long as you are good-looking, no matter how indecent your posture is, it will not affect your beauty.

Xu Lan was curled up on her side, sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Her pretty face seemed to be filled with a smile even in her sleep.

Very relaxing.

The long journey these days must have exhausted this pampered young lady, but now she is sleeping soundly.

Lin Jiangnian did not wake her up. He put on his clothes, got up and walked to the door of the room.

Push the door and walk out.

As soon as I opened the door, a figure stood outside.

"Your Highness."

The person standing at the door was Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing had woken up at some point and was waiting respectfully at the door.

"Qingqing?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. Why was Lin Qingqing standing outside his door so early in the morning?

Didn’t we let her have a good rest yesterday?
At this time, Lin Qingqing's face was a little nervous, and she subconsciously looked through her own prince into the room behind her.

Although the screen was blocking the view, Lin Qingqing could still vaguely see a figure in the room. She nervously wanted to explain: "Your Highness, last night..."

Just then, a crisp laugh suddenly came from the corridor.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence!"

The voice was clear and pleasant, yet slightly gentle, and vaguely seemed to contain some joy and excitement.

Lin Jiangnian was also startled when he heard this familiar voice and turned his head.

Then I saw a familiar figure appear in the corridor next to me.

A young lady with outstanding temperament, tall and graceful, wearing a light blue and white skirt, a plain gauze dress, her black hair was tied up, adorned with a delicate hairpin. A few strands of hair fell down, revealing a delicate face.

A pair of smiling eyes were looking at him.

The smile was warm and sweet, and two dimples were faintly visible on that beautiful face.

Smiling lightly.

The scene before my eyes is extremely beautiful!

When Lin Jiangnian saw the figure of this young woman, he was subconsciously stunned.

"beautiful?!"

"How will you be here?!"

Then, Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized something.

As Li Piaomiao's personal maid, Jinxiu naturally couldn't appear here for no reason. Although this place was still in Zhongzhou, it was already two or three days away from the capital.

Obviously, there is only one reason why she is here...

Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Lin Qingqing beside him, and saw Lin Qingqing nodding with some concern, and explained in a low voice: "Last night, the eldest princess and a few others came..."

Lin Qingqing quickly explained to His Highness what happened last night in a low voice!
Just after His Highness went to bed last night, the Princess and others suddenly appeared in this inn.

Lin Qingqing was so stunned that she wondered if His Highness had already made an appointment with the Princess.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Li Piaomiao is here?!"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised and also a little surprised.

Surprisingly, when he returned to Linjiang City this time, no one knew his whereabouts except Zhiyuan, Xiaozhu and his aunt.

Naturally, Lin Jiangnian did not tell the princess about his whereabouts.

So, how did the princess know his whereabouts?

And we happened to meet here again?

Is it a coincidence?

Although the princess had been saying that she was going to Ruyi Tower in Lin Wangfu, the situation in the capital was not stable yet, and Li Piaomiao could not get away. According to Lin Jiangnian's inference, she would have to stay in the capital for at least a while.

I didn't expect her to leave so soon?

What I didn't expect was that I would meet him here?!
"Why? Your Highness, you don't seem very happy to see me?"

At this time, in the corridor, Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile on her face, but there was some resentment in her eyes.

"Your Highness, you have deceived me so badly..."

"how do I say this?"

Jinxiu said faintly: "Your Highness spread the word and created a posture of heading to Jiangnan, but I didn't expect..."

"He sneaked through Chencang and secretly returned to Linzhou without telling anyone. Your Highness deceived me so badly..."

When Jinxiu suddenly met Lin Qingqing in the inn last night, she realized that she had been deceived!
Many people have been deceived!
As expected, this guy did not go to Jiangnan, but was secretly planning to return to Linzhou.

He was so low-key, and only had Lin Qingqing with him. No wonder no one could find out!

I have to say, this move of his was very clever.

It diverted everyone's attention and avoided the danger on the way back.

only……

Jinxiu felt inexplicably angry.

Not only did this guy want to go back, he even hid it from her. If she hadn't bumped into him by chance last night, she probably wouldn't have known that this guy was already sneaking on the road!
wrong!

He even hid it from his own princess!

unacceptable!

Facing Jinxiu's gloomy gaze, Lin Jiangnian said, "Why, does Miss Jinxiu want to see me for something?"

"fine."

"Since everything is fine, how did this prince deceive Miss Jinxiu?"

Jinxiu looked gloomy: "Can't I look for His Highness if I have nothing to do? ...Don't you think it's too much for His Highness to leave without saying goodbye?"

Faced with Jinxiu's accusations, Lin Jiangnian felt somewhat guilty.

Logically speaking, when he planned to leave the capital, he had already settled everything.

But the only thing he didn't say goodbye to was the eldest princess.

After all, the relationship between the two is special and very strange!
We are not friends, we are not close, but if we can be called strangers... we are not strangers either.

They were engaged, but they had no real relationship. But if they really had no relationship, after the incident in the secret room of the palace, there was an inexplicable bond between them...

It's hard to describe!

The relationship between the two is even more complicated than the relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Zhao Xi.

In addition, the eldest princess would also have to go to the Prince Lin's Mansion at that time, so after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Jiangnian finally did not mention it to her.

As a result, he didn't say goodbye to Jinxiu and others.

Being brought up so bluntly by Jinxiu at this time did make me feel a little guilty.

"It happened for a reason. I didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss Jinxiu. Please forgive me!"

Lin Jiang young smiled and spoke.

Jinxiu naturally didn't really blame Lin Jiangnian for leaving without saying goodbye. After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, the last bit of emotion in her heart dissipated.

"By the way, why is Miss Jinxiu here?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke again, knowingly asking, "Where is your princess?"

"An Ning and I plan to go to Linzhou with the princess, to your Linwang Mansion."

Jinxiu pouted and explained, "The princess is in the room."

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "That's a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you on the way... Is your princess awake? I'll go see her?"

After greeting Jinxiu, Lin Jiangnian planned to meet the eldest princess.

Since we have met, it is fate.

This was also outside of Lin Jiangnian's plan! However, it seemed to be another unexpected surprise.

Since we have met and our destination is the same, it is natural for us to travel together.

More importantly, Lin Jiangnian had been worried that he would encounter unfamiliar dangers on the way back to Linzhou this time.

Lin Hengzhong was assassinated. This matter is very serious after all. It is hard to guarantee that this is not a trap.

But now that the eldest princess has appeared, if they go to Linzhou together, it will be like having an extra quasi-grandmaster-level expert protecting them!
With the eldest princess around, why would we need to worry about any danger?
This sense of security is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh. Inexplicably, he felt like he was being fed by the princess.

However, the taste is ok.

……

On the other side, in the corridor, Jinxiu had a faint smile on her face. She looked at Lin Jiangnian's back as he went to look for her princess, her eyes slightly excited.

When she learned last night that Lin Jiangnian was also in this inn, she was very excited and could hardly hide her joy.

Can't tell why.

But I feel that this trip back to Linzhou will not be boring after I meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This gave her inexplicably some hope and a vague expectation.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Lin Jiangnian?"

It was a woman's voice.

The sound seemed to... come from the room?
Jinxiu was slightly startled and looked towards the room next to the door with a slightly puzzled look.

She glanced around briefly, and soon her eyes suddenly focused.

I was stunned!
In sight, a woman's figure appeared in the room.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, delicate features, and a typical beauty.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have just woken up. She was still sleepy and her face was dazed. She was not fully awake yet. Her hair was messy and she looked unkempt. There was a kind of messy beauty that was hard to describe.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked to the door.

Jinxiu's gaze followed the trend downwards, and the faint smile on her face completely disappeared.

More and more solemn.

The girl's clothes were disheveled, and her dress had not been put on completely, like a lady from a wealthy family who had just gotten up and had not had time to tidy herself up...

"what?"

Awakened by the sound of conversation outside the door, Xu Lan woke up in a daze, her mind not yet fully clear.

Realizing that she was still in Lin Jiangnian's room, she quickly put on her clothes, stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on. Suddenly, she saw a woman with a stunning face appear at the door, staring at her suspiciously and vigilantly.

"you are?"

Xu Lan was stunned when he saw the extremely beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament at the door.

At this moment, at the door, Jinxiu's beautiful eyes were solemn, the smile on her face completely disappeared, she stared at Xu Lan in front of her, and then looked at the room behind her.

Isn't this the Crown Prince's room?
How could there be a woman?
What is the relationship between this woman and His Highness?
What happened last night?!

Jinxiu looked at the disheveled woman who had just woken up. Then she thought of how Lin Jiangnian had just come out of this room... It was self-evident what the situation was!

In an instant, as if she had figured something out, Jinxiu's slightly rosy face suddenly turned pale.

Then, another feeling of anger surged in my heart.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she suddenly became so angry.

Why are the emotions so intense!
And why...I feel inexplicably unhappy!
Very uncomfortable.

Your Highness, you really are... in such a refined mood!
Unexpectedly, on the way back, there was still a beauty accompanying me, partying every night, so happy...

Thinking of this, Jinxiu gritted her teeth, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face because of anger.

At this time, Xu Lan, who had finally come to his senses, also realized that something was wrong!
How could there be such a beautiful sister at the door?

Also, why did this beautiful sister look at her in a way that was...not right?
Xu Lan sensitively noticed that there was something wrong with the other person's eyes when he looked at her. She couldn't put her finger on it... but it felt unfriendly.

"who are you?"

Xu Lan took a step back cautiously and looked around: "Where's Lin Jiangnian?"

"Where did he go?"

At this time, Jinxiu also restrained her emotions slightly and looked at Xu Lan, who was alert. Judging from her clothes and temperament, she didn't look like an ordinary woman, let alone a prostitute. At least she was a lady from a famous family.

That guy, on his way back, could he possibly hook up with some young lady?
However, the thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and Jinxiu looked at Xu Lan in front of her again, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Xu Lan?"

Xu Lan was startled, his eyes becoming more alert: "Do you know me?"

really!

It’s Xu Lan.

She had never met Xu Lan, but she knew of her existence. She also knew that Lin Jiangnian had saved the entire Xu family for this Miss Xu some time ago.

It is also known that Miss Xu and Lin Jiangnian have known each other since childhood and are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu's heart tightened slightly.

It’s all stacked up!

No wonder that guy didn't even bring his kite with him this time, but took her with him? !
Childhood sweethearts!
For her, he was even willing to risk being charged with treason, and even owed His Majesty a favor, in order to save the Xu family...

Thinking of this, Jinxiu felt even more upset!
"Miss?!"

Just as the two were confronting each other, Xiaolu appeared from nowhere and popped out a head.

She looked at Jinxiu at the door, and then looked at her own lady inside the room.

When he saw his young lady's disheveled appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

done?

Could it be that the young lady had already...reversely pushed His Highness last night?
Thinking of this, Xiaolu felt inexplicably excited.

When Jinxiu noticed Xiaolu appearing next to her, she didn't say anything else. After looking at Xu Lan deeply, she turned and left.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more frustrated I feel!
She herself couldn't explain the reason. After thinking for a long time, she finally blamed An Ning.

That’s right, it must be an issue of An Ning!
I must hurry and explain things to the little girl, stay away from His Highness, and never let His Highness succeed!

……

On the other side, Lin Jiangnian, who was unaware that Jinxiu had misunderstood, came to the door of the eldest princess's room.

Knock on the door.

"Princess?"

After a while, there were noises in the room.

"Squeak!"

The door to the room opened.

A cool girl's figure appeared at the door.

Although she is a beauty with an extremely pretty face, she has a stern face and a temperament that is not consistent with her age. She holds a sword in her arms, and when she sees Lin Jiangnian at the door, a bright light seems to flash in her eyes.

"An Ning, long time no see!"

Lin Jiangnian greeted with a smile.

But when An Ning heard Lin Jiangnian's voice, she seemed a little flustered. She lowered her head slightly and quickly turned her eyes away, still with a cold face.

Turn around and go back to the room.

Ignored Lin Jiangnian.

His steps were a little messy, as if he was escaping in a panic.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian was very interested. She looked exactly like Jinxiu, but her personality was completely different.

interesting!
Feeling emotional, Lin Jiangnian walked into the room.

Soon, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure in a plain white dress in front of the dressing table not far away in the room.

Just a back view gave people a feeling of extreme coldness. The temperature in the room also dropped slightly with this breath.

It's as cold as winter, so cold that it makes people feel chilled.

Lin Jiangnian quickly realized something...it seemed that the eldest princess had "fallen ill" again!
