son, don't mess around

The courtyard is quiet,

The spring sunshine lazily shines in the yard, creating a scene full of spring.

Jinxiu was in a daze for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she looked up and noticed that An Ning was staring at her not far away.

Although An Ning's little face was expressionless, as twin sisters, they usually quarreled and disagreed with each other. But most of the time, they could understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

And Jinxiu also saw something from An Ning's eyes...

"What do you think I'm doing?!"

Jinxiu spoke first, breaking the silence.

There was a hint of guilt in his tone.

Do not know why.

An Ning still looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word.

Being stared at like this by An Ning, Jinxiu felt more and more guilty.

She looked away, no longer looking at An Ning, and began to change the subject: "Tell me, where did the princess and the prince go?"

no respond.

"The princess actually left the two of us this time and sneaked out with His Highness... This is very wrong!"

In the past, when the princess traveled, she would at least bring Jinxiu or Anning with her. But this time, the princess brought no one with her.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is... the princess went out with His Royal Highness!

This is really interesting!
Princess and His Royal Highness, do you have a secret?

As if she thought of something, Jinxiu's eyes gradually lit up: "Hey, tell me, has our princess already said to His Highness..."

"Got an idea?"

As this thought came to mind, Jinxiu thought more and more that it was possible.

She could sense that her princess' attitude towards His Highness had changed. Especially during the trip south, the princess and His Highness were often alone together, the two of them often alone in the room...'recovering'?
Although it was His Highness who was helping the princess heal her injuries, was there anything else that happened between them during the period of healing?
Besides, if he was healing, some physical contact was inevitable. For the princess, she never dared to think about such a thing.

But now her own princess did not resist, but got closer and closer to His Highness. Today, she even left her and An Ning alone and went out for a tryst...

In Jinxiu's opinion, if this isn't a tryst, then what is it?
If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the princess has started to do... that to His Highness?

Faced with Jinxiu's sudden excited speculation, An Ning just looked at her expressionlessly.

"boring."

She is not interested in this.

But for some reason, my little head also subconsciously wondered if the princess and His Highness had really...

If that were the case, wouldn’t our princess be... the Crown Prince’s Consort?
Then, will she... have to see His Highness every day in the future?

When this thought came to mind, An Ning felt inexplicably uneasy.

She shook her head in panic and stopped thinking about it.

"Alas, I don't know where the princess and the prince went to have their tryst..."

Jinxiu sighed softly, her eyes dim.

The journey south from the capital was quite boring. After finally arriving in Xunyang City, Jinxiu wanted to go out for a walk, but when she remembered the princess's instructions, she gave up the idea.

As I continued to sigh, footsteps were heard outside the yard.

"Princess?!"

Jinxiu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she stood up excitedly. An Ning, who was in a daze under the eaves, also came back to her senses and turned her head to look, only to see a figure coming into the yard.

Lin Jiangnian.

The princess was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Highness?!"

Jinxiu glanced behind Lin Jiangnian and quickly expressed her doubts: "Where is the princess?"

"Your princess has something to do and will be back later."

Lin Jiangnian spoke.

Although it is not clear where Li Piaomiao went, it must be related to what Lin Jiangnian said before.

Lin Jiangnian waited there for a while, but before Li Piaomiao came back, he came back first.

"Is something wrong?"

Jinxiu was a little confused. What's the matter, Princess?
However, she still nodded, and when she looked up again, she saw Lin Jiangnian staring at him with a smile, and his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.

Jinxiu seemed to recall what happened last night and this morning. Her face immediately became hot and frightened, and she subconsciously looked away in panic.

"I, I'm going back to my room first!"

Jinxiu turned around and tried to escape.

"go Go."

Lin Jiangnian did not stop her. He turned his head to look at An Ning on the other side of the eaves and said with a smile, "That's great. I'll chat with An Ning."

Jinxiu had just taken a step forward when she suddenly retracted her leg.

He turned around and stared at Lin Jiangnian suddenly, his eyes full of vigilance and shame.

Having known Lin Jiangnian for such a long time, she knew his highness's tricks.

He obviously did it on purpose... He used An Ning to threaten her!

But unfortunately, Jinxiu had to be threatened by him!

If she left now, and Lin Jiangnian was left alone with An Ning, who knows what would happen!

With An Ning's silly personality, His Highness will definitely eat her up completely...

How could she let the two of them be alone together?
Thinking of this, Jinxiu immediately looked alert and shouted, "No!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked to An Ning's side, pulled her along and was about to leave together.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you!"

An Ning was still a little confused at this time.

When An Ning heard Lin Jiangnian say that he wanted to chat with her, she was still thinking about what His Highness wanted to say to her. Suddenly, Jinxiu pulled her, and her steps staggered slightly.

"what you do?"

"Stop asking questions and follow me."

Jinxiu didn't say anything and quickly ran away with An Ning, who was still in a daze.

Lin Jiangnian, who was left in the yard, watched this scene with interest.

This An Ning is indeed Jinxiu's Achilles' heel. She gets angry and angry whenever she's mentioned.

Seems like it's easy to grasp?!

……

On the other side, Jinxiu pulled An Ning back to the room and closed the door. Then, he stared at her with a serious expression.

An Ning was still a little dazed at this time, staring blankly at Jinxiu who had an irritable and serious expression in front of her.

"What, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?!"

Jinxiu said angrily: "What else did you say?"

"Don't you see that His Highness is staring at you? You're still standing there stupidly."

"What? Are you waiting for the sheep to fall into the tiger's mouth?"

Jinxiu looked very disappointed with her friend and felt anxious and angry.

An Ning was still a little confused; she didn't understand what was going on.

But, she is not a fool after all!

When he saw Jinxiu's appearance at this moment, he gradually remembered what happened just now, and seemed to realize what Jinxiu wanted to say. He didn't say anything, just looked at Jinxiu quietly.

"Don't you know that His Highness has bad intentions towards you? He covets your body and wants to play with you..."

"You must not be fooled, or you will have nowhere to cry..."

"Why are you in a daze? I'm doing this for your own good. You must remember that you must never be alone with His Highness... Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Jinxiu was originally giving An Ning a lecture in an attempt to make her realize how terrible it was to be alone with His Highness.

However, An Ning didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Say nothing!

But it seemed like... he said something else.

Under An Ning's gaze, Jinxiu, who had been speaking with confidence, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Inexplicable……

Guilty!

"Why are you looking at me?!" Jinxiu said with a straight face, "Did you hear everything I said?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

An Ning looked at her expressionlessly: "You are lying."

"Why did I lie to others?"

An Ning thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness is not that kind of person."

Jinxiu was stunned, and then her eyes became more alert: "How do you know he is not that kind of person?!"

What kind of magic potion did that guy feed An Ning? How come even An Ning started to speak for him?

Something is wrong!
There's a big problem!

An Ning did not explain Jinxiu's question, but said expressionlessly: "He is not."

The tone was even a little stubborn.

beautiful:"……"

Her heart sank suddenly.

Finished!

"Did he say something to you?"

"No."

"Did His Highness deceive you with sweet words?!"

"No."

"Tell me the truth...are you in love with His Highness?!"

"..."

An Ning was silent and said nothing.

Jinxiu just felt her head buzzing. Why didn’t she speak?
Could it be... that I really fell in love with her?

Even if we defend ourselves strictly, An Ning will still fall, right?

Just when Jinxiu opened her eyes wide in disbelief, An Ning looked at her coldly and said expressionlessly, "You are the one who likes His Highness!"

"I do not……"

Jinxiu subconsciously denied: "I didn't."

"You have."

"No."

"Have."

"No!"

"..."

An Ning stopped talking, looked at Jinxiu expressionlessly, then turned and walked outside.

"Where are you going?!" Jinxiu asked quickly.

She was worried that An Ning would go find Lin Jiangnian.

"Go find the princess."

An Ning walked to the door without looking back, pushed it open and walked out.

As soon as she reached the door, An Ning turned back to look at Jin Xiu in the room. She stared at her for a moment, and then said word by word: "You must like His Highness!"

After saying this, without waiting for Jinxiu to argue, An Ning held the sword and left the room without looking back.

Only Jinxiu was left standing in the room, with a blush on her pretty face.

"I, I didn't..."

Jinxiu murmured to herself, still wanting to refute, but she gradually fell silent halfway through her words.

After a while, Jinxiu felt inexplicably angry and humiliated.

"Who, who likes him?!"

"I, I am your sister. How can you talk to your sister like that?!"

Jinxiu's face seemed to become even redder, and her fair skin was as if covered with a layer of rouge, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

After being in a daze in the room for a long time, Jinxiu finally came to her senses. She felt mixed emotions, and then became a little angry.

"It's all your Highness's fault!"

"It's all his fault!"

"He clearly promised not to provoke An Ning, but he went back on his word!"

Having made up her mind, Jinxiu went out angrily, ready to settle the score with Lin Jiangnian.

……

On the other side, not long ago.

In the courtyard, in the room.

"Miss, tonight is the best opportunity, you must seize it!"

Inside the room, two figures were sneaking together.

Xiao Lu looked at her young lady and began to talk about her plan: "Wait a moment, I will sneak into your room while you are away and put the medicine in your tea..."

"When His Highness comes back, Miss, you can find an excuse to stay in His Highness' room tonight and find a way to get His Highness to drink the tea. Then delay as long as you can..."

"This medicine will take effect soon, and the effect is very good. Miss, you should try to delay it until the effect takes effect..."

"Then great things will be accomplished!"

"Miss, have you written everything down?!"

In the room, Xu Lan blushed and felt nervous: "Really, is it really possible?"

"Of course, don't worry, miss."

"No, we won't be discovered, right?"

"This medicine is colorless and odorless, it will never be discovered!"

"Yes, but..."

"Don't say buts, young lady. If you don't work harder, you won't even be able to be your concubine. When that happens, I will suffer with you!"

Seeing that her young lady was still hesitating, Xiaolu immediately decided for her young lady: "Let's do it this way. Young lady, just find a way to get His Highness to drink the tea, and leave the rest to me..."

"I will also be guarding the door at that time to ensure that Miss succeeds and is not disturbed by anyone. I will also keep an eye on your situation and will never let anything happen to you..."

"I am responsible for everything!"

Xiaolu patted her plump chest, as if promising to take care of the problem.

"Well, that's fine..."

Under the instigation of her own maid, Xu Lan finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and decided to go for it!
"Miss, just wait for the good news from this slave!"

"..."

The warm sun fills the courtyard.

It was quiet all around.

He Jinqun spent a lot of money to entertain Lin Jiangnian this time. He took out the best places in the prefectural mansion and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

The courtyard was quiet and quiet. At this moment, a furtive figure appeared. He looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, he quickly walked towards the eaves in front.

As he walked, he continued to observe his surroundings. After a while, he stopped at the door of a room, and once again confirmed that there was no one around, he quietly opened the door and walked into the room.

In a cold and dim room.

Xiaolu looked around the room. His Highness had not returned yet, so this was the best time.

Her eyes were bright and she tiptoed to the table not far away.

There was a pot of tea on the table.

Xiaolu carefully opened the teapot, then took out a small packet of powder from her arms and carefully poured it into the pot.

After pouring half of it, I felt it was not enough, so I poured it all in at once.

As for if my young lady can't handle it...I still have myself, right? !

Xiaolu blushed and quickly shook the teapot. Soon, the powder in the teapot dissolved in the water and disappeared.

Xiaolu's eyes were bright and she was so excited that even her breathing was a little rapid.

With trembling hands, she quickly cleaned up the scene and put the teapot back where it was. After making sure that there were no mistakes, she carefully left the room.

Then, he carefully closed the door, and then, with his head lowered, he fled the courtyard with a guilty conscience.

Xiaolu was so nervous and guilty that he didn't notice that a figure appeared at the other side of the yard not far away and took in the whole scene.
