Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

All human beings have weaknesses!

Once a weakness is exposed, it is difficult for anyone to escape.

No one will be an exception.

For Lin Kong, he had no father or mother since he was a child. Like many people in Linwang Palace, he was adopted since childhood.

It was the prince who gave him another chance to live!

The prince took him in, gave him food and clothing, and also gave him the opportunity to practice martial arts. He cherishes this kind of opportunity that is rare and rare for ordinary people!

In return, it became his duty to protect the palace and His Royal Highness Prince Lin!

Lin Kong worked diligently in Prince Lin's Mansion since he was a child, worked hard in martial arts, and worked conscientiously, which soon paid off... Fortunately, he had a good talent in martial arts and stood out from many candidates. He made meritorious service and was promoted to become a personal soldier of His Royal Highness. Commander.

I originally thought that his future would become bright and bright!

However, this joy was quickly overwhelmed by reality.

The prince has a kind heart and is well loved by the people in Linzhou, so his reputation is not bad. But Prince Lin is completely the opposite.

Over the years, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done in Linjiang City is something he despises! As His Royal Highness's personal soldier, Lin Kong couldn't stand it, but he had no choice!

As a palace guard, the only thing he can do is to obey orders and help His Highness do things that even he finds despicable.

He even felt sick!

This so-called prince's personal army seemed to be a shackles to him.

He became Prince Lin's accomplice and helped him do those disgusting things... He heard people outside scold him, saying that he was Prince Lin's dog, a loyal but disgusting dog!

From that moment on, Lin Kong was confused!

He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, but he still had no choice!

His fate was doomed from the beginning.

Over the years, the reputation that the prince had managed to accumulate in Linzhou was almost destroyed by this Prince Linzhou.

The imperial court continued to impeach Prince Lin Wang, and the voice of reducing the vassal status never stopped.

Lin Kong couldn't even imagine what Linzhou would be like if the prince of Linwang succeeded to the throne in the future.

What will happen to Linjiang City?

Will the wealth that the prince has built up over the years disappear in one fell swoop?

The Prince Lin Wang has no knowledge, no skills, no ambition, and can be regarded as an out-and-out idiot. When he succeeds to the throne in the future, will this palace really be able to hold on?

In the past few years, many people have advised King Lin to take another concubine, even if it is a concubine. King Lin was in his prime, and it was not too late to have several more children.

After all, Linwangfu has a weak bloodline, just in case, so as to make plans for the future.

However, these proposals were all rejected by King Lin!

King Lin does not take concubines, which means that the only one who can succeed to the throne in the future is Lin Jiangnian!

This news is not good news for the entire Prince Lin's Mansion and Prince Lin's subordinates.

And in Lin Kong's heart, a strong and rebellious thought gradually emerged.

This thought became more and more intense.

Not long ago, His Highness went on a tour. As His Highness's personal soldier, he did not travel with him.

As expected, His Highness was attacked!

After learning the news, Lin Kong rushed outside the city to rescue. But at that moment, the rebellious thought in his heart became stronger!

When he arrived at the temple, he saw corpses all over the ground, mixed with rain, like a scene from a hell on earth. His heart suddenly sank, and at the same time it started beating rapidly in vain.

Until...the subordinate guards found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the ruined temple.

Your Highness, you are not dead!

he was disappointed

…

In the silent courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Lin Kong who was kneeling in front of him, his head lowered, and his whole body was filled with a sense of malaise.

He no longer had the slightest bit of indifference and arrogance he had before, instead he was filled with anxiety and an indescribable feeling of unwillingness.

Everyone has weaknesses!

He is also included!

As a bodyguard of the house, Lin Kong has no father, no mother, no worries, and according to common sense, it is indeed difficult to find his weaknesses.

Because of this confidence, he was fearless in front of Lin Jiangnian. Even if the other party is Prince Lin, he is still not afraid.

Until... when Lin Jiangnian said the name Su Lu.

Lin Kong was completely confused.

Then, it was a complete failure.

This woman named Su Lu is his biggest weakness!

…

"Let her live?"

Lin Jiangnian stood there, his eyes still calm, and glanced at him, "When did this prince say that he wanted to kill her?"

Lin Kong lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Miss Su is innocent. She knows nothing. Please don't embarrass her!"

"My prince has no intention of embarrassing her."

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "What you said makes me look like a bad guy who bullies men and dominates women?"

Lin Kong took a deep breath: "I don't dare."

"This matter is my fault alone, and I am willing to take responsibility for it. As long as His Highness is willing to let Miss Su go, I will let His Highness handle it without any regrets..."

In order to protect Miss Su, Lin Kong risked his life.

He has been with His Highness for many years, and he understands His Highness best as a person! If His Highness really wants to harm Miss Su, everything will be over!

"Can't you tell that you are quite sincere towards Su Lu?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Lin Kong.

The woman in red was indeed right. Is this Lin Kong actually a love interest?

What a surprise!

However, this also means that he has a weakness.

Women are his Achilles heel!

Lin Kong lowered his head, said nothing, and looked depressed.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Jiangnian knew that it was almost done, so he changed his tone and said, "Are you responsible for it alone?"

"Can you afford it?"

Lin Kong gritted his teeth: "I am willing to die to apologize!"

"Yeah?"

The corner of Lin Jiangnian's mouth raised slightly: "Then you go die!"

"If you die, I will let Su Lu go? How about that?"

Lin Kong's heart trembled, and he looked up at Lin Jiangnian in front of him. When he saw His Highness the Prince's calm eyes, he seemed to be saying something extremely ordinary.

Endless fear welled up in Lin Kong's heart. His Highness the Crown Prince at this moment was completely different from the one he had before.

His Highness at this moment made Lin Kong feel as if he had met the prince for a moment... His cold and indifferent temperament was very similar!

Fear and despair spread in Lin Kong's heart.

"What? Can't bear to part with you?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were playful: "Don't you want to die?"

Lin Kong's heart trembled, and a look of determination flashed across his face: "As long as His Highness is willing to let Miss Su go, I will commit suicide!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Kong slowly stretched out his hand, took a deep breath, and used his internal energy to suddenly hit his chest.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's expressionless voice came.

"Stop it now."

Lin Kong froze on the spot and raised his eyes in confusion.

But Lin Jiangnian's eyes were indifferent: "Don't be in a hurry to die, wait a moment!"

Lin Kong looked stunned, as if he was a little unresponsive.

Lin Kong's voice was hoarse and low: "Your Highness, won't you kill your subordinates?"

"Killing you is easy, but your life is worthless in the eyes of this prince!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Keep your life alive, I have other uses."

He already had an idea in his mind.

If Lin Kong had just chosen to protect himself and distance himself from Su Lu, then he would no longer be the same person in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

Such a cold-blooded person cannot be kept!

But he would rather commit suicide to save Su Lu, which proves that Su Lu is extremely important in his heart and is even worth the cost of his life?

This shows that he does still have some use value!

This is his weakness, and also his fatal weakness... Only those with weaknesses are easy to control!

Lin Jiangnian will definitely take advantage of his weakness!

…

"From now on, you are a dead person!"

Lin Jiangnian slowly put away the emotion on his face and looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you understand what it means?"

Lin Kong's heart trembled as he stared at Lin Jiangnian's expressionless expression. At this moment, His Royal Highness became more and more unfamiliar, yet more and more familiar...

The terrifying oppressive momentum made him almost unable to breathe.

The sense of oppression that could only be felt when facing the prince was felt again by His Royal Highness Prince Lin at this moment.

He is dead?

Lin Kong's heart trembled, and he naturally knew what it meant.

"Subordinates... know it!"

His voice was hoarse.

"Very good. Since you are so sensible, I can give you a chance to survive and make meritorious deeds!"

Lin Kong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"You are from Zhiyuan, right?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke slowly.

Lin Kong was startled, and looked up at Lin Jiangnian. When he saw him staring at him sharply, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head again and was silent for a while.

He guessed His Highness's purpose.

"The prince has ordered his subordinates to take orders from Miss Zhiyuan and follow Miss Zhiyuan's instructions..."

"Miss Zhiyuan?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Then what is her origin?"

"Subordinate... I don't know."

"I don't know?"

Lin Kong lowered his head and said: "Miss Zhiyuan was brought back to the palace by the prince. She is nominally his maid, but... except the prince, no one knows the true identity of Miss Zhiyuan..."

"I just know that the prince values ​​and trusts Miss Zhiyuan very much..."

Lin Jiangnian frowned and stared at Lin Kong for a while, then looked away and said calmly: "So, you would rather obey her than my son's order before?"

Lin Kong's heart trembled: "It's the prince's order..."

"Yeah?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and sneered: "Is it just my father's order?"

Lin Kong was silent and lowered his head: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian gradually withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Don't forget, this is Prince Lin's Mansion, and I will be the heir to the Prince's Mansion in the future... I will not care about what happened before, but you should understand how to choose in the future. Bar?"

"My subordinate understands!"

"In that case..."

Lin Jiangnian took something out of his arms and threw it in front of Lin Kong: "Eat it."

"What is this?"

"poison."

Lin Jiangnian's face was expressionless.

Lin Kong's eyelids twitched suddenly, he was silent for a moment, picked up the black pill from the ground, and swallowed it calmly.

Seeing his cooperation, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at him again, and said: "From today on, you will work for me. In the future, you must report all matters concerning the palace to me. Especially... Do you understand the order Zhiyuan gave you?"

Lin Kong's heart was shaken, and he suddenly realized something. Your Highness, the real purpose is not him.

But...Miss Zhiyuan? !

Your Highness, he is going to...

He looked up in shock, only to see Lin Jiangnian looking at him with a half-smile, Lin Kong's heart trembled!

Sure enough, His Highness's real purpose turned out to be...Miss Zhiyuan! !

After a brief shock, Lin Kong quickly calmed down again.

He has no choice.

Now his life was in the hands of His Royal Highness, and he had to obey. He may not care about his own life, but he cannot harm Miss Su because of this...

"I obey my orders!"

Seeing Lin Kong nodding his head, Lin Jiangnian nodded with satisfaction.

He likes to deal with smart people, just like the woman in red also likes to deal with her... People who are obedient are very lovable.

"Besides, this prince also needs you to do something..."

Lin Jiangnian seemed to have thought of something, and he meant something: "If you help my prince handle this matter, my prince will not only let go of your past affairs, but even..."

"How about you marry Miss Su and get started?"

Lin Kong's heart suddenly trembled, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jiangnian in disbelief.

Marry, marry Miss Su?

This, this was a thought he didn't dare to think about.

He indeed admired Miss Su, but... After all, Miss Su was a brothel girl, so what if she was an oiran?

Although Lin Kong didn't mind, he was a member of Prince Lin's palace and a close soldier of Prince Lin's son. How could he be allowed to marry a promiscuous woman for the sake of the palace's reputation?

Being in the palace, he couldn't help himself. Therefore, he could only hide that love in his heart.

But now, Lin Jiangnian's words made his heart tremble suddenly.

Marry, marry Miss Su!

this……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Lin Kong's voice was hoarse, and his head even briefly short-circuited.

Lin Jiangnian seemed to have anticipated his reaction, so he was not surprised and spoke calmly.

"Don't worry, I will keep my word..."

"As long as you obey my orders, I will give you a chance to marry Su Lu..."

"It's up to you whether you want it or not!"

"..."

Half an hour later, Lin Jiangnian left the courtyard and returned the same way.

Adding sugar to a big stick is the way to govern people.

Killing Lin Kong is easy, but if you can control him for your own use, or even make the other party completely obey your orders, this is obviously much more useful.

This is also the purpose of Lin Jiangnian coming to see Lin Kong today!

As the eldest son of Prince Lin, what he knows and what he can do is extremely useful to Lin Jiangnian.

If you can control him, that would be a good thing!

If you can't control it...

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were slightly cold, he would also get rid of this person immediately!

…

Not long after Lin Jiangnian left, he suddenly ran into a familiar figure.

"Paper Kite?"

Zhiyuan, dressed in a long plain dress, appeared in front of Lin Jiangnian's sight at some point and happened to run into him.

Lin Jiangnian stopped, and Zhiyuan also stopped, and the two looked at each other.

There was a moment of silence.

"Your Highness."

Zhiyuan spoke, her voice neither cold nor indifferent, showing no emotion at all.

Lin Jiangnian seemed a little surprised and looked her up and down for a while.

Since that night, I haven't seen her for a few days. The last time I went to see her, she was rejected.

Unexpectedly, we bumped into each other today and she took the initiative to say hello again?

"Aren't you angry with me anymore?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly

Zhiyuan's eyes were calm and she said calmly: "I don't dare."

"Yeah?"

When Lin Jiangnian saw this, he started to walk towards her.

But just as he made a move, he saw Zhiyuan take two steps back inadvertently.

"If you have something to do, please don't disturb Your Highness."

After that, she left straight away, leaving behind a faint fragrance floating in the air.

Lin Jiangnian didn't chase her. He took a deep look at her back, shook his head, and turned to leave.

…

Not long after, Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and glanced back. Lin Jiangnian's figure had long disappeared behind him.

Her eyes were still indifferent, and her temperament was cold and unparalleled.

There is something that cannot be described as lonely and cold.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at the courtyard ahead.

I don't know when there was a figure beside her, Lin Qingqing.

"Sister Zhiyuan, earlier... Your Highness went to Lin Kong's courtyard."

Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly, she nodded slightly but said nothing.

When the surrounding area became quiet, Lin Qingqing looked at Zhiyuan, who remained silent in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Sister Zhiyuan?"

Zhiyuan glanced at her: "What?"

"you……"

Lin Qingqing looked at the small courtyard in front of her and sighed softly: "Lin Kong made such a big mistake... but your punishment this time was so light. Are you a little too protective of him?"

Zhiyuan's eyes were calm, he was silent for a moment, and shook his head gently: "He is not bad in nature!"

"This is not a question of whether it is bad or not..."

Lin Qingqing sighed: "No matter what Lin Kong's intentions were, he did almost hurt His Highness this time. When the prince comes back, he will not be forgiven... Sister Zhiyuan, why are you so confused and angry?"

Lin Qingqing has been with Zhiyuan since she was a child, and knows her best. You are so smart, why did you make such a stupid decision this time?

She wasn't worried that she would be suspected by the prince and His Highness. She colluded with Lin Kong to murder His Highness?

Zhiyuan was silent for a long time this time, and gradually turned her gaze away from the small courtyard, and said softly: "I have my own plan."

"What's the plan?"

Lin Qingqing couldn't help but ask, what could Sister Zhiyuan have planned?

Zhiyuan was silent for a while, and then said: "His Royal Highness, he will be the master of Prince Lin's Mansion sooner or later!"

"So?" Lin Qingqing was confused.

Zhiyuan's eyes were still indifferent: "Your Highness is the only son of the prince. In the future, he will inherit the prince's vassal throne, and he will also inherit the prince's trusted generals and Linzhou soldiers and horses, and inherit the huge business that the prince defeated... Therefore, your highness must Learn to grow up!”

Lin Qingqing was still full of suspicion, but she seemed to understand something: "Then, what does it have to do with this matter?"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes and said: "Lin Kong was adopted by the prince since he was a child, and he is very loyal to the prince. The prince made him the commander of His Highness's personal army, which was also a move for His Highness!"

"Chess?" Lin Qingqing was confused.

"Um."

Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Lin Kong is quite capable and has high martial arts talent. But he is arrogant and has a temper that is difficult to discipline..."

"The reason why the prince keeps him is because he has specially prepared a little test for His Highness!"

Zhiyuan's eyes were cold, but there seemed to be some gleaming light: "If His Highness can subdue him and make Lin Kong sincerely convinced, it will prove that His Highness is not completely unbearable..."

Lin Qingqing was slightly shocked and her eyes widened: "Sister Zhiyuan, you mean... the prince has prepared all this a long time ago?"

She seemed to suddenly realize: "So you punished Lin Kong so lightly before, was it all intentional?"

"Are you planning to leave Lin Kong to His Highness and let His Highness handle the matter on his own?"

"Um."

Zhiyuan nodded slightly. From the beginning, this was a test.

Lin Kong is a small part of this test. And Yingfengyuan’s assassination became an opportunity!

"If His Highness wants to inherit the throne in the future, he must pass this test... If even Lin Kong cannot pass this test, how will he be qualified to inherit the throne of the prince in the future, and how will he be able to control the generals around the prince?"

"Those people are a hundred times more dangerous than Lin Kong!"

Zhiyuan's eyes were still understated, but the expression on his face gradually became serious: "If His Highness can't even pass this test, he may give up everything in the future, accept the imperial court's reduction of vassalage, marry the eldest princess in the capital, and it would be better to be an idle prince. !”

"At least, you won't lose your life in a daze!"

"..."

The modification is completed. Thanks to the little rich lady [Chacha Chacha Qian] for the reward. There are still seven chapters left to update!
