Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

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

He stood up and dressed.

His movements were very gentle and did not wake up Xu Lan who was still sleeping soundly.

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

Although the posture was not elegant, it was pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, as long as she was good-looking, no matter how indecent the posture was, it would not affect her beauty.

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

She was very relaxed.

The days of traveling had exhausted this pampered young lady, but she was still sleeping soundly.

Lin Jiangnian did not wake her up. After putting on his clothes, he stood up and came to the door of the room.

He pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as he 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 he ask her to have a good rest yesterday?

At this moment, Lin Qingqing's face was also a little nervous. She subconsciously looked through her own prince to the room behind her.

Although there was a screen blocking her 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 crisp and pleasant, with a little gentleness, and vaguely seemed to be a little happy and excited.

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Jiangnian was also startled and turned his head.

Then he saw a familiar figure appear in the corridor next to him.

A young lady with outstanding temperament, tall and graceful, wearing a light blue and white skirt, a plain gauze dress, and a head of black hair tied up, embellished with an exquisite hairpin. A few strands of hair fell, revealing a face with delicate contours.

A pair of smiling eyes were looking at him.

The smile was warm and sweet, and two dimples on the beautiful cheeks could be vaguely seen.

Smiled lightly.

The scene in front of him was extremely beautiful!

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

"Jinxiu?!"

"Why are you 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 is still in Zhongzhou, it is two or three days away from the capital.

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

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

So much so that Lin Qingqing was stunned, wondering if His Highness had made an appointment with the princess long ago.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Li Piaomiao is here?!"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised and a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, 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 she happened to bump into him here?

Is it a coincidence?

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

Unexpectedly, she left so soon?

What was even more unexpected was that we would meet here? !

"What? Your Highness doesn't seem very happy to see me?"

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

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

"What do you mean?"

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

"On the other hand, he secretly returned to Linzhou without telling anyone. I was deceived by your Highness..."

When Jinxiu suddenly met Lin Qingqing in the inn last night, she realized that she had been fooled!

Many people were deceived!

This guy really didn't go to Jiangnan, but was secretly planning to return to Linzhou.

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

I have to say that his move was very smart.

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

But...

Jinxiu was inexplicably angry.

This guy wanted to go back, but he even hid it from her. If she hadn't bumped into him accidentally last night, she might not have known that this guy was already sneaking on the road!

No!

He even hid it from his own princess!

Too much!

Facing Jinxiu's gloomy eyes, Lin Jiangnian said: "Why, does Miss Jinxiu have something to do with me?"

"Nothing."

"If nothing is wrong, then how did this prince lie to Miss Jinxiu?"

Jinxiu looked gloomy: "If nothing is wrong, can't I find Your Highness?... Your Highness left without saying goodbye, don't you think it's too much?"

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

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

But only, he did not say goodbye to the eldest princess.

After all, the relationship between the two is special and strange!

Calling them friends doesn't count as friends, calling them close doesn't count as intimacy, but speaking of strangers... doesn't count either.

There is an engagement, but no real relationship. But it really doesn't matter, but since that time in the secret room of the palace, there have been some inexplicable bonds between the two...

It's hard to describe!

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

In addition, the eldest princess would also go to Prince Lin's Mansion, so after careful consideration, Lin Jiangnian finally did not mention it to her.

As a result, he did not say goodbye to Jinxiu and others.

Being mentioned so bluntly by Jinxiu at this time made me feel somewhat regretful.

"Everything happened for a reason. I didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss Jinxiu. I'm sorry!"

Lin Jiang young smiled and spoke.

Of course, Jinxiu wasn't really weird about Lin Jiangnian leaving without saying goodbye. After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, the last remaining emotion in his heart also 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 Prince Lin's Mansion."

Jinxiu pursed her lips 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 the princess of your family awake? Can I go see her?"

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

Since we met, it was fate.

This is also outside Lin Jiangnian’s plan!

However, it seems to be an unexpected surprise.

Now that they have met and everyone has the same destination, they can naturally travel together.

More importantly, Lin Jiangnian had been worried that when he returned to Linzhou this time, he would encounter strange dangers on the road.

Lin Hengzhong's assassination was, after all, a very serious matter, and it was difficult to guarantee that it was not a trap.

But now that the eldest princess has appeared, if we go to Linzhou together, it will be like having a quasi-grandmaster level expert protecting us!

With the presence of the eldest princess, there is no need to worry about any dangers?

This sense of security is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh. Inexplicably, I felt like I had eaten the soft rice of the eldest princess.

However, the taste is okay.

…

On the other side, down the corridor, Jinxiu had a faint smile on her face, looking at the back of Lin Jiangqian looking for his princess, her eyes slightly excited.

When she learned that Lin Jiangnian was also at the inn last night, she was very excited and could not hide her joy.

Can't tell why.

But it just feels like this trip back to Linzhou won't be boring after meeting His Royal Highness.

This gave her some inexplicable hope and some vague expectations.

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 at the room at the door next to her with some doubts.

She glanced slightly, and soon, her eyes suddenly condensed.

Startled!

In his sight, a woman's figure appeared in the room.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate appearance, exquisite facial features, and a standard beauty appearance.

At this time, the girl seemed to have just woken up. She was sleepy, her face was dazed, and she was not yet fully awake. Her hair was messy and unkempt, with an indescribable messy beauty.

She rubbed her groggy eyes and walked to the door.

Jinxiu's eyes drifted downwards, and the slight smile on her face completely disappeared.

More and more dignified.

This girl is disheveled and has not yet fully put on her clothes. She looks like a lady who has just stood up and has not yet had time to clean herself up...

"Huh?"

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

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

"Who are you?"

Xu Lan looked at the extremely beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament at the door and was stunned.

At this moment, at the door, the beautiful beautiful eyes were solemn, and 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 room of His Royal Highness?

How could there be a woman?

What is the relationship between this woman and His Highness?

Last night... what happened? !

Jinxiu looked at the disheveled woman in front of her who had just woken up. Then I thought about Lin Jiangnian coming out of this room just now... It's self-evident what the situation was!

For a moment, as if she had figured out something, Jinxiu's slightly rosy face suddenly turned pale.

Immediately, another wave of anger surged into his 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 are really...so elegant!

Unexpectedly, I would still be accompanied by a beautiful woman on the way back, singing and singing 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 finally woke up gradually, also realized that something was wrong!

How could there be such a beautiful sister at the door?

And why did this beautiful sister look at her... not quite right?

Xu Lan sensitively noticed that the other party's eyes looking at her were not quite right, and she couldn't say it... but it felt unfriendly.

"Who are you?"

Xu Lan took a step back with a little vigilance, and looked around: "Where is Lin Jiangnian?"

"Where did he go?"

At this time, Jinxiu also restrained her emotions slightly, looking at Xu Lan, who was full of vigilance. Judging from the other party's 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 the way back, could he still hook up with a lady from a famous family?

However, the thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and Jinxiu looked at Xu Lan in front of her again, and suddenly remembered something.

"Xu Lan?"

Xu Lan was startled, and her eyes became more alert: "Do you know me?"

Sure enough!

It was Xu Lan.

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

She also knew that Miss Xu and Lin Jiangnian had known each other since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu's heart tightened slightly.

It's full!

No wonder that guy didn't even take the kite on the way back this time, but also 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's heart was even more blocked!

"Miss?!"

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

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

Seeing her own lady's disheveled appearance, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Did it work?

Did the young lady push His Highness back last night?

Thinking of this, Xiaolu was inexplicably excited.

When Jinxiu noticed Xiaolu appearing next to her, she didn't say anything more. She looked at Xu Lan deeply and turned away.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more she felt blocked!

She couldn't tell the reason herself. After thinking for a long time, she finally attributed the reason to An Ning.

That's right, it must be An Ning's problem!

She must go and explain it to the little girl quickly, stay away from His Highness, and never let His Highness succeed!

...

On the other side, Lin Jiangnian, who didn't know that Jinxiu had been thinking about it and misunderstanding it, came to the door of the eldest princess's room.

Knock on the door.

"Princess?"

There was a sound in the room, and it didn't last long.

"Squeak!"

The door of the room opened.

A cold girl appeared at the door.

Although she was a beautiful woman, she had a stern face and a temperament that was not similar to her age. She held a sword in her arms. When she saw Lin Jiangnian at the door, a bright light flashed in her eyes.

"An Ning, long time no see!"

Lin Jiangnian greeted with a smile.

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

Turned around and returned to the room.

She ignored Lin Jiangnian.

Her steps were a little messy, as if she was nervously escaping.

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

Interesting!

Feeling emotional, Lin Jiangnian walked into the room.

Soon, he 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 sense of coldness. The temperature in the room also dropped vaguely with this breath.

It was as cold as winter, so cold that it made people shiver.

Lin Jiangnian quickly realized something... This eldest princess seemed to be "sick" again!

...
