Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

If you keep her, there will be endless trouble!

Only if she dies will Lin Jiangnian's identity not be exposed.

With this thought in his mind, Lin Jiangnian's eyes turned red, and his originally handsome face became a bit ferocious.

When faced with the threat of death, Lin Jiangnian almost instinctively made a survival decision. He suppressed Xu Lan tightly and stared coldly at her fair and slim neck under the messy black hair.

As long as he pinches it hard... he can break the thin and slender neck.

Killing her would certainly offend the Xu family and even cause grievances between the Lin and Xu families. But if he doesn't kill her, Lin Jiangnian's identity will be exposed and he will die!

So,

He has no choice.

…

When Xu Lan, who had a blank mind, just regained some consciousness, she suddenly noticed an extra hand on her neck, and she suddenly trembled all over.

A dangerous aura enveloped her, her delicate body was trembling, and her delicate face showed a look of disbelief and panic.

Did he really want to kill her? !

Feeling that big warm hand pinching her neck, Xu Lan's breathing quickened, her expression frightened, her delicate body stiffened, and her eyes filled with despair!

At this moment, she was pressed to the ground, her mouth was blocked, unable to move, unable to call for help, she could only stare wide-eyed, feeling in horror that the hand on her neck was gradually tightening.

Crunch!

The breath of death enveloped her little by little.

Are you really going to die?

The tightness around his neck made Xu Lan look horrified, his breathing gradually became difficult, and his head went blank again.

The threat of death is gradually approaching.

She looked desperate and stunned.

…

Just when Xu Lan was about to despair, thinking that she would die and be silenced by Lin Jiangnian.

Outside the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Your Highness? Miss Xu?"

came the voice of a maid.

It was this knock on the door that sounded like thunder in Lin Jiangnian's mind, causing him to wake up suddenly.

Looking down, he realized that Xu Lan was breathing rapidly, his face was pale, and he was almost dead.

His hand loosened slightly, and Xu Lan lay on the ground, holding her neck and breathing heavily. He looked extremely embarrassed, with a delicate fair face exposed under the messy black hair, with a few tears in the corners of his eyes. He greedily breathed in the fresh air that had not been seen for a long time, and his expression was full of excitement for the rest of his life.

It’s great to be alive!

Her delicate body was still trembling slightly, and she lay on the cold ground, unable to recover for a long time.

silence.

silence.

The maid outside the door sounded anxious when she heard no response from the room.

"Your Highness? Your Highness, are you there?!"

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Jiangnian finally came to his senses and glanced outside the door, his voice was low and hoarse.

"Your Highness, is Miss Xu with you?"

The maid outside the door asked.

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and looked at Xu Lan below him, with a fierce and menacing look on his face. At this moment, Xu Lan was curled up delicately on the ground, looking at Lin Jiangnian with fear in her eyes.

"I, I'm..."

Xu Lan suppressed the fear in her heart and spoke calmly with difficulty.

After the maid outside the door heard this, she seemed to be slightly relieved: "It's good that Miss Xu is here!"

"Since Miss Xu is with His Highness, I will go back to pay my dues!"

The maid's footsteps walked away.

The room fell into dead silence again.

After Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath, he slowly let go of Xu Lan on the ground, his eyes gloomy.

How could the maid outside the door come over and ask about Xu Lan for no reason?

Obviously, it was probably Zhiyuan's test. Did he and Xu Lan being alone in the room arouse her suspicion?

Even if it wasn't, being disturbed like this made Lin Jiangnian suddenly vigilant. In this Prince Lin's Mansion, he had to be careful.

I'm afraid I won't be able to kill her today!

…

Xu Lan was still lying on the ground, breathing heavily until a long time later.

The thoughts in Xu Lan's mind finally recovered, and the trembling body gradually subsided. She struggled hard and slowly got up from the ground.

However, her hands and feet were still weak, so limp that she could hardly exert any strength. As if he had gone through a hearty battle, he was almost paralyzed with fatigue.

She bit her lower lip, struggled to get up, and fell to the ground.

A simple action, but it took a lot of energy from her.

She slowly raised her head and looked behind her, with the fear of the aftermath in her eyes, as if she was looking at a monster and beast.

Not far from her, Lin Jiangnian was also sitting on the ground, looking at her expressionlessly.

Xu Lan's heart trembled when she looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes. There was a trace of confusion on her cold and thin face, which still had a bit of flushing and fear.

She looked at Lin Jiangnian like this for a long time, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Why..."

"Don't kill me?"

Just now, she clearly felt Lin Jiangnian's strong murderous intent and the almost suffocating feeling on her neck.

He almost killed himself!

But why did he stop again?

"Do you want to die?!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her coldly.

Her heart trembled, as Lin Jiangnian's eyes that were so cold and cold just now appeared in her mind that it almost made her suffocate.

She felt weak all over for no reason, her body felt like it was boiling hot, and her breathing was rapid.

Xu Lan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. But when she met Lin Jiangnian's eyes again, she was startled again.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's face was cold and gloomy, and his eyes still frightened her. However, it seems that the previous murderous intention is gone?

Without the feeling of despair that almost suffocated her... Did he really not plan to kill himself?

The instinct of survival made Xu Lan have the urge to escape from here quickly, but for some reason, another indescribable emotion emerged in her heart at the same time.

She didn't move and bit her lower lip, leaving several deep marks on her bright red lips. Finally, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look directly at Lin Jiangnian: "I want to know why..."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her indifferently, and Xu Lan also raised her face slightly and looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

There seemed to be a bit of stubbornness on that pretty little face.

After wandering around on the verge of death, she seemed a little broken!

silence.

There was another long silence.

The two of them looked at each other as if they were obsessed.

Lin Jiangnian looked at the stubborn-looking woman in front of him, who didn't know whether to live or die. He took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

He did want to kill her!

But it is obvious that this can no longer be done!

Once she dies here, not only will the Xu family's troubles be difficult to deal with, but her death will also be exposed along with Lin Jiangnian's identity...

Stupid woman!

Lin Jiangnian turned away and stopped looking at her. He raised his eyes and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in the bronze mirror not far away, with slightly gloomy eyes and a violent expression. The fierceness had not faded... Is this still him?

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian was a little confused.

How could he look so strange in the mirror?

"Ahem..."

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian coughed suddenly, and a fishy-sweet taste appeared in his mouth. Along with the severe pain in his chest, his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

It hurts so much!

Xu Lan's two palms almost killed him.

At this moment, severe pain began to appear all over his body, and Lin Jiangnian shuddered. The intense pain made him sweat profusely, and the heartbreaking pain hit him.

His face gradually turned pale and his breathing became more and more rapid.

At this moment, a small white hand suddenly stretched out from the side, with a white pill in the palm!

Lin Jiangnian was startled and turned back.

But Xu Lan glanced at him with a slightly complicated look, and then turned her head away.

"Here you go...this is a healing medicine to treat internal injuries and suppress pain."

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the pills and then at her. Didn't say anything, didn't answer.

"Take it."

Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't move, Xu Lan directly stuffed the pills into his arms, still turning his head and humming softly: "You were injured by me, so this is compensation for you!"

Lin Jiangnian looked suspicious.

compensate?

Taking the initiative to show kindness?

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the pills in his hand, and when he was thinking about what she meant, the severe pain reappeared, almost causing him to faint. Lin Jiangnian hesitated and swallowed the pill.

As the pill is swallowed, it gradually enters the throat and is absorbed after a while, and a refreshing feeling comes from the chest. At the same time, the severe pain in his chest gradually eased.

After Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to realize something and raised his eyes to look at Xu Lan beside him.

But he saw that she was still sitting on the ground, with her knees together and her legs hugged.

Her hair, which was originally smooth and thick, was now messy and scattered. Her face was still a little red, and her clothes were also messy. If it weren't for the blood stains on her clothes, she would have looked shocking. At this moment, she looked more like she had been tainted by some kind of compulsion...

Xu Lan's appearance at this moment is a little less heroic and a little more feminine, but more like a woman?

She lowered her head, hiding her fair face. Her eyes were covered by black hair, and her gaze was slightly downcast. She was lost in thought and was stunned for a long time.

"Actually, I have no intention of exposing your identity..."

Her voice was very soft, a little hoarse, a little soft, and a little... aggrieved.

"I just want to scare you and let you play with me..."
