son, don't mess around

Chapter 521 Angry An Ning

Lin Hengzhong’s calculations were indeed very clear!

After Lin Jiangnian understood his idea, he had to admit that his plan was indeed feasible.

In fact, if it can be carried out smoothly, the Linwang Mansion will not only be able to get rid of the threat from the imperial court in the future, but can even move to a higher level.

Supporting Li Piaomiao to ascend the throne and become emperor is a win-win situation for both Li Piaomiao and the Lin Wang Mansion.

It would be difficult for Li Piaomiao to accomplish anything on her own, no matter how outstanding she was. But once she had the support of the Lin Wang Mansion, things became much simpler.

Lin Hengzhong was right, fists can solve almost all problems in this world.

And the fist of Prince Lin’s Mansion is just big enough now!

With the support of the Lin Wang Mansion, even if there are still voices of opposition in the world, it will not cause too much trouble.

As for the Linwang Palace, the biggest dilemma it faces now is the long-standing threat of the imperial court to reduce its power.

No matter which emperor sits in the court, he will be wary of the Lin Wang Mansion, which holds a large number of troops. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to push a new emperor to the throne and control the situation.

And Li Piaomiao is the best candidate!
Of course, there is an extremely important premise before this...

Li Piaomiao is not an ordinary woman. No one can guarantee whether she will turn against the Lin Wang Mansion if she really comes to power in the future.
Lin Hengzhong would not be stupid enough to cultivate a huge threat, so the prerequisite for the Lin Wang Mansion to help her is that Li Piaomiao must become a member of the Lin Wang Mansion.

As for how to become a member of Linwang Mansion?

The answer is obvious.

She, Li Piaomiao, was nominally Lin Jiangnian's fiancée, so it was only natural that things would go as planned now...

Of course, this alone is far from enough.

Lin Hengzhong made two requests. The first was that Li Piaomiao marry Lin Jiangnian and become the Crown Prince's Consort of the Lin Palace. In this way, the Lin Palace would naturally have a reason to send troops to support them.

The second is to make Li Piaomiao pregnant and give birth to Lin Jiangnian's child!
Once she had a child, she would be completely tied to the Lin family. Even if the two did not get married, Li Piaomiao was pregnant with the blood of the Lin family. No matter what unexpected events occurred, this bloodline would be enough to make the Lin Palace invincible.

You can retreat to defend and advance to attack!

If the court and the Lin Wang Mansion can coexist peacefully, it will naturally be the best result. But if Li Piaomiao turns against him, or if the future rulers have the idea of ​​turning against the Lin Wang Mansion again, the Lin Wang Mansion will naturally not be afraid.

After all, by that time, who wouldn’t have some royal blood in them?

Your Li family can sit on the throne, but the descendants of my Lin family can’t?
……

After digesting all these things, Lin Jiangnian planned to go find Li Piaomiao to have a good talk.

After all, this is a matter of great importance!

The conditions proposed by Lin Hengzhong were somewhat unreasonable.

Not to mention whether Li Piaomiao is willing to marry or not, things like having children are even more difficult to say... How much of a sacrifice would that require?

More importantly, during the conversation last night, Lin Jiangnian could see that Li Piaomiao was not interested in being an empress.

this is the key of the problem!

If Li Piaomiao has no idea about this, then all plans and intentions will be in vain.

Lin Jiangnian thought for a long time and decided to find out what the eldest princess was thinking!
He turned and came to the quiet courtyard where the princess and others lived. As a distinguished guest from the capital, the princess was the future prince's consort in the eyes of the servants in the palace, so she was naturally arranged in the best guest room in the palace.

The courtyard was quiet, with no one else in it except the eldest princess and the twin sisters Jinxiu Anning. The maids in the mansion would not come in and out at will, and the courtyard was large, making it a little empty and deserted.

However, the eldest princess really likes this kind of environment.

Jinxiu and An Ning also like not to be disturbed by others, which is exactly what they want.

Lin Jiangnian stepped into the courtyard and after walking for a while, he saw a beautiful figure under the eaves on the other side.

"Ok?"

Lin Jiangnian, who was about to step forward subconsciously, paused again. His eyes first fell on the beautiful face and looked at it carefully. Then his gaze slowly moved down along the face. When he saw the light purple cloud-like long dress wrapping the perfection, Lin Jiangnian was finally sure.

It's beautiful!
"beautiful?"

Lin Jiangnian walked forward confidently, but saw Jinxiu's face full of sorrow, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Jinxiu was sitting on a bench under the eaves, propping up her little face, her face full of despair and low spirits.

Head down, dejected.

When she heard Lin Jiangnian's voice, she immediately looked resentful and glared at him.

"It's not all your fault."

"Blame me?"

When Lin Jiangnian heard this, he wondered why people were blaming him when he hadn't done anything wrong.
Thinking about this, Lin Jiangnian sat next to her. Seeing her like this, he was a little worried: "Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

"Humph."

Jinxiu snorted softly, seeming to feel a little resentful.

After a while, he said gloomily, "An Ning ignored me."

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "What's going on? Why did An Ning ignore you? Did you bully her?"

"You are the one who bullied her!"

Hearing this, Jinxiu was angry: "I told you, it's all your fault!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was suddenly startled... Could it be that An Ning told her about what happened last night?

Just as Lin Jiangnian was hesitating about how to start, he heard Jinxiu look up at Lin Jiangnian and said with a disappointed tone: "An Ning, she..."

"Now that you know our relationship..."

When she said this, Jinxiu was obviously a little embarrassed, her face slightly reddened, but she thought of something, and her eyes dimmed again.

"knew?!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, a little surprised, and asked, "Did you tell her?"

"She had suspected it a long time ago..."

Jinxiu felt a little guilty. She had indeed let it slip by accident last night, but she did not admit it: "It's all your fault..."

"You always bully me. An Ning is not a fool. She saw it all and had suspected it a long time ago..."

Seeing Jinxiu's angry expression, Lin Jiangnian smiled, stretched out his hand to hug her in his arms, and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? She will know it sooner or later anyway. She is your sister, so what if she knows?"

"Could she still have an opinion?"

"You still have the nerve to say that?!"

Being hugged by Lin Jiangnian's shoulders, Jinxiu was a little nervous, and quickly broke free, glaring at him: "What are you talking about? She is angry with me because of this matter, and now she ignores me!"

"it was all your fault!"

"Ignore you?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect this, "What's going on?"

"She called me a liar."

Splendid and secluded road.

Last night she had originally planned to interrogate An Ning, but she didn't expect to accidentally expose her relationship with His Highness.

The result was... An Ning was angry!

Say she is a liar!
The very angry kind!

The key point is that Jinxiu couldn't refute it. After all, she often said bad things about His Highness to An Ning in the past, asking An Ning to be careful. But now, she is secretly getting together with His Highness.

Jinxiu didn't even have the face to refute when An Ning questioned her. This morning, when she went to find An Ning, she found that An Ning was still ignoring her and was obviously still angry.

This made Jinxiu very worried and upset!

"I told you, I shouldn't have kept it from An Ning in the first place."

After learning the whole story, Lin Jiangnian was also a little surprised.

An Ning would actually be angry?
It was a bit unexpected! The little girl looked so weak and timid, what would she look like when she got angry?
I've never seen that before.

"You still say?!"

Jinxiu's expression became more and more resentful: "This is not the question at all, okay?!"

Of course she knew why An Ning was angry. As a sister, she could feel An Ning's emotions. That was why she didn't know how to explain it.

A bit shameful...

"Now what?"

Seeing that she looked distressed, Lin Jiang asked with a young smile.

"If I knew, would I still do this?"

Jinxiu's face fell, she was unhappy: "Help me think of a solution!"

"Don't you guys quarrel often?"

"This time is different!"

Jinxiu defended herself, saying that although they had quarreled before, it was never as bad as this time.

She could feel that An Ning was really angry!

I really have something against her.

"How about you go and apologize to her?"

Lin Jiangnian suggested: "You are sisters after all, why don't you talk it out and apologize?"

"I tried, but she ignored me!"

Jinxiu went to find An Ning in the morning and wanted to apologize to her, but An Ning ignored her and was even unwilling to talk to her.

This made Jinxiu even more panicked.

Although I was angry before, it was never as bad as it is now. It was as if I didn't even recognize her as my sister.

"Help me think of a solution!"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian for help and bit her lower lip: "You are also responsible for this matter...you should think of a solution quickly."

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about I go talk to An Ning?"

He wondered if An Ning was angry not only because Jinxiu had kept it a secret from her, but also because he had accidentally "offended" her last night?
He really should apologize to An Ning for what happened last night.

Right now.

When Jinxiu heard Lin Jiangnian's suggestion, she was instinctively hesitant at first... She was worried that His Highness was planning to target An Ning.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way for now?
An Ning ignored her. She couldn't just call her princess, right?

Then, the only one who can help persuade them now is Lin Jiangnian. After all, he is also the party involved, and he has to take responsibility for this matter.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu finally made up her mind and nodded: "Then, go and persuade An Ning...by the way, apologize for me!"

"..."

When Lin Jiangnian arrived outside An Ning's room, he found that An Ning was not in the room. He searched around the yard but could not find her.

What about people?

When the maids outside the door were asked, they also said they had never seen An Ning go out.

Upon hearing the news, Jinxiu was panicked.

"Where is An Ning? She wouldn't run away from home in anger or be upset, right?"

Thinking of this possibility, Jinxiu's expression suddenly changed and she looked a little pale.

Lin Jiangnian comforted her, "Don't worry, An Ning will be fine."

After all, this is Prince Lin's Palace. It is not difficult for An Ning to avoid the maids outside the yard and leave quietly, but it is not so easy for her to avoid the many masters hidden in the palace and leave.

Therefore, she must still be in the palace.

After calming Jinxiu down, Lin Jiangnian immediately sent someone to look for her.

Soon, a servant brought news of An Ning.

"Your Highness, I saw Miss An Ning go to the Sun Moon Lake in the backyard of the palace alone not long ago."

Sun Moon Lake?
Isn’t that Ruyi Tower over there?

What was An Ning doing there alone?
"..."

Sun Moon Lake, outside Ruyi Tower.

The lake was rippling with breeze, the sun was shining brightly, and willow branches hung down over the lake, swaying gently in the wind.

A sword-holding girl in a plain white skirt was sitting under a big tree, holding the sword in her arms, her hands on her knees, looking ahead with a dazed look, no one knew what she was thinking.

That fair face was delicate and tender, giving people an indescribable sense of tenderness. Especially at this moment, the confused eyes made people love her even more.

She sat there alone, surrounded by silence, almost blending into the surrounding scenery.

Inexplicably, she looks pitiful.

She looked at the lake in front of her, and then her gaze fell on the Ruyi Tower in the center of the lake not far away. She stared at it for a long time.

Until suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard.

In an instant, her eyes changed.

From the daze just now, he was instantly filled with vigilance and sharp murderous intent, and suddenly turned back.

And the white little hand has already fallen on the hilt of the sword, ready to unsheathe at any time.

But the next second, when she saw the person who appeared in her sight, she became confused again. There was a bit of panic and shame on her face, and her originally cold face seemed to be painted with a layer of bright red.

Her eyes dodged, and she seemed to lose all her composure in an instant. She almost instinctively wanted to get up and run away.

"peaceful!"

Seeing that An Ning was about to run away like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him, Lin Jiangnian quickly spoke.

Unexpectedly, after he said this, An Ning ran even faster.

He staggered, as if extremely frightened, and fled in panic.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

He never expected that An Ning's reaction would be so big!

Are you totally afraid to see him?
Seeing that An Ning was about to run away, Lin Jiangnian quickly chased after her.

"Wait, An Ning, please stop first. I have something to tell you..."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

"What happened last night was a misunderstanding, please don't..."

It would have been better if Lin Jiangnian hadn't said anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, An Ning's pace became faster. In the end, she almost jogged, her body unsteady and she staggered, as if she was avoiding something scary.

"If you run again, I'll tell your princess what happened between us last night!"

Seeing that An Ning had no intention of stopping, Lin Jiangnian finally took out his trump card.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, An Ning, who was about to flee, suddenly stopped and listened.

The whole person seemed to be frozen in place, not daring to move.

Under the slightly messy black hair, the fair and pretty little face was full of blush, and the pair of eyes that were bright in the past were now wide open, full of fear and anxiety.

She stood there stiffly, not daring to turn around, her heart beating faster.

I want to run, but I dare not!
