son, don't mess around

On the bed, the two sisters struggled and tossed.

After all, Jinxiu was no match for An Ning. She didn't know any martial arts and was quickly defeated by An Ning's counterattack.

However, although An Ning is better in fighting power, in other aspects, An Ning is no match for Jinxiu.

"beautiful!"

On the bed, An Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"shameless!"

She spat.

In terms of fighting power, a hundred Jinxius are no match for her. But in terms of hooliganism, An Ning, who is simple-minded and ignorant of worldly affairs, is obviously no match for Jinxiu.

In the past, she was often bullied by Jinxiu like this, and now since Jinxiu and His Highness took that step, An Ning is no longer likely to be her opponent.

She just felt her face burning and she was filled with shame and anger.

Jinxiu, you are so shameless.

Shameless!
"Who made you angry with me?"

Jinxiu looked smug and said, "Can't I cure you?"

She knew that An Ning was thin-skinned and timid.

In this regard, An Ning is no match for her in any way.

"shameless."

An Ning repeated the same sentence again, her voice was very cold, as if she was sulking, and she moved her head away with a snort.

And after Jinxiu laughed smugly a few times, she came closer again.

"You, what else do you want to do?!"

An Ning stared at her warily.

"To sleep with you, of course!"

Jinxiu smiled and said, "I'll sleep with you today."

"Need not."

"Aren't you cold sleeping alone? Aren't you scared? Don't you need your sister's protection?"

"unnecessary."

"Can you bear to drive me away?"

"Be patient!"

"..."

An Ning strongly objected, but it was obviously of no use.

Jinxiu is determined to stay here and not leave tonight!

When the two sisters were playing just now, Jinxiu had already climbed onto the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and then got into the quilt with ease.

An Ning sat on the edge of the bed, watching the scene expressionlessly.

No words were spoken, and no further objections were raised.

"What are you still doing sitting here? Come and sleep with your sister!"

Jinxiu greeted her warmly, but An Ning remained indifferent.

"Are you going to sit here all night?"

Jinxiu spoke with a smile.

An Ning remained silent.

Jinxiu made a fuss for a while, but when An Ning ignored her, she immediately felt bored and rolled her eyes: "You really learned bad things from the princess. You are becoming more and more like a princess."

An Ning stared at her.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

"You said bad things about the princess." An Ning said coldly.

"No."

Jinxiu snorted, "I was saying bad things about you."

An Ning turned her head away again and ignored her.

"Hey, have you noticed that our princess is not quite right lately?"

Speaking of the princess, Jinxiu suddenly thought of something and asked.

An Ning originally didn't intend to pay attention to Jinxiu, but when she heard her mention the princess, she turned around and looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just very wrong... in the past two days!"

Jinxiu said, "When I saw the princess last night, she seemed a little absent-minded, as if something had happened... and today, the princess hasn't come back yet."

As the princess's personal maid, Jinxiu has been with the princess for so many years and knows her very well.

The princess rarely loses consciousness, unless something big happens...

This made Jinxiu somewhat worried.

When An Ning heard Jinxiu's words, she looked at her.

"how?"

Jinxiu seemed to have noticed something.

An Ning was silent for a while before she spoke: "The princess went out with His Highness today."

"You went out with His Highness?"

Jinxiu was startled, and then a little surprised: "Why don't I know about this?"

An Ning didn't say anything.

She was having a conflict with Jinxiu today, so Jinxiu naturally didn't know about it.

"I went out with His Highness..."

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and I don't know what she was thinking about.

"peaceful?"

Jinxiu suddenly spoke again.

Seeing that An Ning didn't say anything, Jinxiu suddenly blinked and said, "What do you think of His Highness and our princess?"

Hearing this, An Ning looked at her in confusion.

"Ok?"

Seeing that she was not enlightened, Jinxiu sighed and said, "I say, do you think our princess will marry His Highness?"

Marry His Highness?

An Ning was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.

"No, I don't know."

"do not know?"

Jinxiu looked at her: "Then do you want the princess to marry His Highness?"

"do not know."

"What are you going to do if the princess really marries your highness?"

"do not know."

"..."

"How come you don't know anything?"

Jinxiu was so angry. How could this silly girl not know the answer to any of her questions?

"Well, do you know?" An Ning looked at Jinxiu and asked.

"I do not know either."

Jinxiu also sighed deeply.

She is not clear about the situation now. She asked His Highness to take action against the princess a few days ago, but there seems to be no progress so far.

What if His Highness doesn't marry the princess in the end? Wouldn't that be...

Thinking of this, Jinxiu felt worried.

As if she had made up her mind, she gritted her teeth, and when she looked up at An Ning, there was a little more brilliance in her eyes.

"An Ning, you have to help me this time."

"Help, what?" An Ning was a little suspicious and didn't fall for Jinxiu's trick easily.

"Help me to bring the princess and His Highness together!"

Jinxiu said with certainty.

Match, match the princess and His Royal Highness?
An Ning was stunned again when she heard this.

A strange feeling arose in my heart.

"How, how to match them up?"

"Isn't this a good opportunity to discuss this with you?"

Under the dim light, Jinxiu's eyes were bright, and she pulled An Ning to start whispering and discussing.

……

It's quiet at night.

The palace was silent.

A cool figure in green appeared from outside the courtyard and landed silently in the courtyard.

She seemed to blend into the surrounding scenery, and her presence was almost unnoticeable.

She raised her eyes and looked to the other side not far away. The yard was dark and everyone seemed to have gone to bed.

She retracted her gaze, walked closer to the door of the room, and just as she was about to push the door open, she paused.

In the darkness, something seemed to flash in those bright eyes.

A little hesitant.

But then, she quickly came to her senses, opened the door and walked into the room.

The room was dark and silent.

Li Piaomiao walked to the window sill and lit the light in the room. The bright light quickly illuminated the room.

Inside the house, there was a figure waiting for a long time.

"Are you back?" The voice was neither cold nor indifferent.

Li Piaomiao turned around and his eyes fell on the figure who had been waiting in the room for a long time.

They looked into each other's eyes, remained silent, and nodded.

"I thought you wouldn't come back today."

The voice was very light, and seemed to contain some joy and teasing.

Li Piaomiao's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Why not reply?"

"Aren't you worried that you don't dare to see me?"

"Why don't you dare to see me?"

Li Piaomiao's voice was neither cold nor indifferent.

"It seems I was overthinking it."

Lin Jiang smiled young and looked at Li Piaomiao who had just returned from a journey.

She was still wearing the same long green dress she wore today, the same as when she left Qingfeng Tower in the afternoon.

But it seems much calmer than in the afternoon.

"Just come back."

Lin Jiangnian didn't ask her where she went, but he could probably guess.

Li Piaomiao lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, "What's the matter?"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Piaomiao's expression remained unchanged: "What are you waiting for me to do?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "I want to talk to you."

He wanted to continue talking to her about what happened this afternoon and...the relationship between them.

And next plans!
But after hearing this, Li Piaomiao's expression remained the same, and his tone was neither cold nor indifferent: "I'm tired."

She did not answer Lin Jiangnian's question directly.

But Lin Jiangnian understood the meaning of her words.

She wanted to escape.

Would a grandmaster who is just one step away get tired so easily?

Obviously impossible.

Well, the answer is obvious...

As for what she was running away from, it goes without saying.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Li Piaomiao rarely looked at him, nor did she dodge, but she seemed a little... guilty?
When Lin Jiangnian saw this scene, a sense of joy surged in his heart.

It was rare to see the eldest princess with such an expression, and Lin Jiangnian's mood suddenly became very good.

"Are you afraid of me?"

he asked with a smile.

no answer.

Li Piaomiao remained silent.

"Okay, since you are tired, then take a good rest. I will come to see you in two days?"

Since she was unwilling to face it, Lin Jiangnian did not force her. He stood up, walked to Li Piaomiao, stopped, and looked at her quietly.

Under the bright light, there is a stunningly beautiful and cool face, with unparalleled temperament and indescribable beauty.

But at this moment, this once beautiful figure seemed to be avoiding him.

Lin Jiangnian stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing, very wildly.

"You look cute when you're evasive and guilty."

Lin Jiangnian spoke in a relaxed tone with a hint of smile, and after saying this, he left the room.

He came to see Li Piaomiao tonight because he wanted to wait until she calmed down and then have a good talk with her.

But it was obvious that Li Piaomiao chose to escape.

Not willing to talk to him.

The reasons are nothing more than those few.

Either she hasn't calmed down yet, or she hasn't figured out how to talk... Either way, it's good for Lin Jiangnian.

Now it’s easy to attack and defend!
The initiative is already in Lin Jiangnian's hands, so he is not in a hurry about what to do next.

There is no rush to talk after the princess has calmed down and thought things through.

After all, they've already kissed!

Now that the duck is in my mouth, there is no need to worry about her flying away.

Even if we take a step back and say it really flew away... Lin Jiangnian is so excited that he can make a profit either way.

Don't panic!

……

After Lin Jiangnian left, Li Piaomiao stood there in silence for a long time.

Her cold eyes seemed a little dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. After a long time, she turned her head and looked at the bronze mirror in the room not far away, staring at the beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror.

Did she escape out of guilt?

Li Piaomiao looked dazed and no one gave her an answer.

But she seemed to have the answer in her heart.

My mind has been in a mess and has not calmed down since the afternoon.

She was very calm in the past, but the calmest person is, when he/she suddenly loses his/her calmness one day, he/she will fall into extreme trance and hesitation.

For example, the eldest princess now.

When Lin Jiangnian mentioned that he wanted to talk to her just now, she resisted instinctively... She had already anticipated what Lin Jiangnian wanted to talk about.

She instinctively felt panic and nervous.

So she chose to escape.

She, who had never felt any emotion in the past, suddenly felt that kind of panic.

At this moment, she began to feel dazed...why should she escape?

Why do you feel uneasy?
Why don't you have a good talk with him?
Or……

Li Piaomiao stood there for a long time, and seemed to have found some answer.

But it was just a little bit off and I couldn't catch it.

A long time passed and still no answer was given.

"Jin..."

Li Piaomiao spoke subconsciously, but then she realized that it was already late and Jinxiu and An Ning had probably gone to bed already.

Li Piaomiao turned around and went out again, passing under the eaves of the corridor. At this moment, a faint discussion came from a room not far away where the lights had been turned off.

"An Ning, we must find a way to bring the princess and His Highness together..."

"The princess must like you, Your Highness. When have you ever seen the princess be so nice to a man?"

"The princess is just not aware of her own feelings, that's why she has been like this. She has actually been in love with Your Highness for a long time, but she hasn't realized it yet... As servants, we must step forward at this time to help the princess and make her realize her feelings..."

Li Piaomiao, who was about to leave, paused slightly.

Looking up at the closed room not far away, his deep and clear eyes appeared extremely bright in the night.

She listened quietly for a long time, without saying a word, and a trance gradually appeared on her cold face...

"..."

early morning.

Lin Jiangnian got up, washed, changed his clothes and had his meal.

Lin Qingqing, who had not been seen for two days, also rushed back in a hurry to report the latest situation.

"Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent."

"I have thoroughly investigated the entire Linjiang City, but still cannot find the whereabouts of Sun Yuan's wife..."

"I suspect that the woman may have been killed by the Chen family..."

"..."

The news that Lin Qingqing brought back was indeed not good news.

Got nothing.

There is a high probability that Sun Yuan’s wife has been silenced.

"Where's Chen Junru?"

Lin Jiangnian asked again.

Chen Junru has been captured for some time and has been kept in the palace.

But surprisingly, Chen Junru is very tight-lipped.

"Your Highness, I have tried everything I can, but Chen Junru is much more tight-lipped than I imagined... Unless he is given a real punishment, it will be difficult to get him to talk if he is only subjected to some physical pain..."

"Your Highness, how about using severe punishment?"

There are suggestions from subordinates.

"There is a lot of discussion in the city right now, and the people are paying attention to this matter. If Your Highness cannot give the people an explanation, it may backfire..."

One of the subordinates worriedly said, "The other noble families are also keeping an eye on you, Your Highness. If we can't find out the truth, I'm afraid they won't give up..."

Everyone was worried.

Faced with the chattering of his subordinates, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be thinking about something and shook his head slightly.

"Qingqing."

"My subordinate is here."

"Let Chen Junru go."

“Yes, sir… huh?”

Lin Qingqing spoke subconsciously, but suddenly reacted and looked at her highness in astonishment.

"Release, release?!"
