Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

There are rules for eating in Prince Lin's Mansion. As Prince Lin's eldest son, Lin Jiangnian's treatment is naturally different.

The chefs in the palace are all famous chefs invited from all over the world, and their cooking skills are naturally impeccable. Not only that, there are endless varieties of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day in the palace.

But if you eat too much, that’s it!

For Lin Jiangnian, it was not very attractive.

On the table are deliciously colored and fragrant meals, and the aroma of rice fills the air. Lin Jiangnian looked at the food, then raised his eyes to the table.

The paper kite stood quietly aside, like a cold statue.

"Come and sit!"

Lin Jiangnian waved to her.

Zhiyuan raised her eyes, then lowered her eyes: "I can't do that, slave."

Naturally, the maids in the house cannot presume to sit and eat with their master.

Although Zhiyuan has a very high status in Prince Lin's Mansion, he has not forgotten his identity.

"My prince says you can do it, but there are so many rules that you can't break!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't care so much and waved his hand: "Come and sit!"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, but still didn't move.

"What? Do you want me to invite you in person?"

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian made a move to get up and invite her.

Zhiyuan's eyes twitched slightly, she took a deep look at him, remained silent for a while, and then moved closer unnaturally.

After another moment of hesitation and silence, he sat down at the table next to him.

The movements are very light, the posture is elegant, and he sits upright and motionless.

...as if extremely reluctant.

"There's no one else here, just relax, don't be nervous."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her again, shook his head slightly and spoke.

The other servants in the room had been dismissed by him. Now, only Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan were left in the room.

Zhiyuan's expression remained as usual, showing no emotion at all.

nervous?

His expression was calm and his eyes were slightly lowered, as if some doubts were emerging.

...What does His Highness want to do?

"Have you not eaten yet?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her again, "Eat something?"

The kite didn't move.

"If you don't eat, the food will get cold."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her one last time and said nothing more.

Eat as much as you like.

The purpose of today is not to invite her to dinner.

Lin Jiangnian started to eat by himself.

During my stay at the palace, I also ate a lot of food at the palace. Although it tasted good, it was still not to Lin Jiangnian's taste.

There is no special desire.

Lin Jiangnian sighed secretly. Does this mean that the wild boar cannot eat the fine chaff?

For most ordinary people in this era, being able to fill their stomachs is considered very happy.

The Daning Dynasty was founded a hundred years ago, and now it is the dynasty's heyday. In Linzhou, under Lin Hengzhong's governance for more than ten years, it has been prospering and the economy has prospered.

But there are still countless hungry people today, without access to three meals a day, and there are still countless homeless and beggars.

For most people, being able to fill their stomachs is considered a prosperous time, so how can they be picky?

Now, as the eldest son of Prince Lin, Lin Jiangnian is well-dressed and well-fed, and he does not have to worry about survival, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of his life! Now that the food is not to your liking, doesn't it make you look a little... ungrateful?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian sighed slightly.

After eating and drinking enough, he raised his eyes and saw the paper kite sitting at the table still motionless.

The dishes and dishes placed in front of her table remained untouched.

"are you not hungry?"

Lin Jiangnian saw her expression and sneered: "Or are you being wronged by asking you to have a meal with me?"

Zhiyuan lowered her head: "I don't dare."

"Then why?"

Lin Jiangnian asked back.

Zhiyuan still didn't speak.

However, after eating and drinking, Lin Jiangnian had some free time at this time and looked at the kite in front of him playfully.

A cold face and a proud temperament. Even as a maid, it was difficult to hide the aloofness she seemed to be born with.

She lowered her head slightly and stared in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

silence.

Finally, Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said, "You are really not a qualified maid."

Zhiyuan was slightly startled and raised his eyes, doubts flashed in his eyes.

"As my eldest son's maid, if you disobey me, forget it..."

Lin Jiangnian felt a little regretful: "I haven't even been able to flatter and please my son as much as I should."

Zhiyuan: "..."

"Look at the other maids and maids in the house? Which one of them would not treat me respectfully and serve me carefully, for fear of upsetting my prince?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Look at you again...is this ridiculous?"

"..."

How can a normal maid not be afraid of being respectful when seeing her master?

The maids and maids these days are not worth much. As the master's private property, they can be disposed of at will. If you make your master unhappy, you will be beaten and punished if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you will be beaten to death and thrown out to feed the wolves.

Almost all the maids in Prince Lin's Mansion were respectful to Lin Jiangnian. Even Xiaozhu, who was weak-minded, was extremely afraid of Lin Jiangnian.

She knew that if she offended His Highness, the Crown Prince would end up badly.

But the paper kite in front of me is an exception!

After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, she seemed stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and met Lin Jiangnian's eyes. After a moment, he lowered his head again.

After a while, he spoke softly: "Slaves... are different from them."

"What's the difference?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

Zhiyuan was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "The prince asked me to take good care of His Highness, so as to prevent His Highness from causing trouble again..."

"If Your Highness wants this slave to obey His Highness like other maids in the house... I cannot do that."

Calm and soft words.

Can't do it.

Look, is this what a maid should say?

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Do you hate my prince?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes: "I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare?... So you really hate me?"

Lin Jiangnian squinted at her: "But because of my identity as the crown prince, I don't dare to reveal it?"

Zhiyuan was silent and didn't speak.

Is this... an admission?

"Do you really hate me?"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes and asked.

Zhiyuan said calmly: "I am just a maid of His Highness, and I have no such thoughts."

"Really?"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes slightly, her eyes clear and calm, without any emotion.

"Since you don't hate it, why don't you want to have dinner with me?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked again.

Zhiyuan's eyes blinked and dropped again: "This slave cannot eat with His Highness!"

"Who said that?"

Zhiyuan said: "The rules of the palace..."

"Who set the rules of the palace?" Lin Jiangnian continued to ask.

Zhiyuan was startled.

Who decided?

Servants cannot eat with their masters. This is a rule that has existed since ancient times. There is an order of superiority and inferiority. As for who sets the rules, this...

Seeing her hesitation, Lin Jiangnian knew that she couldn't answer, so he waved his hand immediately.

"You can't tell, right?"

"My prince is the future master of this palace, and the rules mentioned by my prince are the rules..."

"I insist that you accompany me to this meal today...will you agree or not?"

"..."

Facing Lin Jiangnian's expression and tone of deliberately looking for trouble, Zhiyuan remained silent.

After a long time, she raised her head again and stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly.

His eyes were still calm.

"Since His Highness requested it, I will naturally do it."

"..."

The summer sunshine penetrates the sparse leaves and casts fine shadows on the bluestone.

The palace, the backyard garden.

Lin Jiangnian strolled in the courtyard and scanned the scenery in the palace garden with some comfort. Until not long after, I slowly appeared at the edge of Sun Moon Lake, looking at the magnificent lake.

Beside him stood a paper kite dressed in white.

Holding a lotus umbrella, he followed Lin Jiangnian step by step to protect His Highness from the sun.

There was no emotion on the cold face, but from time to time his eyes would fall on Lin Jiangnian beside him, and his eyes would be a little more confused and strange.

But most of them are still silent.

"I heard that many masters are buried at the bottom of Sun Moon Lake, right?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the calm lake ahead, and suddenly turned back to look at the paper kite beside him.

Zhiyuan seemed to be lowering her head and thinking about something, when Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke, startling her slightly.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes met, and then he quickly looked away, looking at the calm lake, and nodded slightly.

"Many experts have tried to break into Ruyi Tower, but without exception, they all ended up here!"

Lin Jiangnian seemed a little interested: "Who is the most powerful master who died here? How powerful was he?"

Zhiyuan said silently: "Ten years ago, there was a talented master of swordsmanship who wanted to enter the Ruyi Building to have a peek, but the prince refused. In anger and humiliation, he angrily tried to force his way in, but the prince stopped him and died... "

"That person is in the second level of Tianxuan Realm!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyelids twitched.

Second-grade Tianxuan?

All these masters died here?

However, when the woman in red mentioned that Lin Hengzhong's martial arts was at least one of the best in the world, or even a master... it made sense again.

"Second-grade Tianxuan..."

Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and glanced at her again: "What about you?"

"What state are you in now?"

Zhiyuan was silent.

"What? Can't you say it?"

Zhiyuan said softly: "My martial arts skills are only for self-protection and are not worth mentioning."

"Not worth mentioning?"

Lin Jiangnian squinted his eyes. He knew that Zhiyuan knew martial arts, and his martial arts should not be weak. But now that I hear her being secretive, it doesn't feel like... she's not very powerful?

Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered that when he learned that Mr. Li was Zhiyuan's master in Ruyi Building, he had mentioned that Zhiyuan had only been practicing martial arts for a few years.

Thinking about it this way, her martial arts shouldn't be too high, right?

According to the woman in red, if an ordinary person has worked hard to practice martial arts for several years, being able to reach the seventh rank is considered a pretty good talent.

The gap between martial arts realm levels is not small.

So……

"As for martial arts, everyone has different talents. You can't force this..."

Lin Jiangnian became more curious and looked at the paper kite in front of him: "You are my eldest son's maid, are you not qualified to know your martial arts strength?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and said, "Of course you have it, Your Highness."

"Then why didn't you say it?"

"..."

Zhiyuan hesitated silently: "Your Highness, do you really want to know?"

"That's natural, tell me!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Don't worry, I don't need your protection, so naturally I won't dislike you..."

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and then she spoke softly: "Ask."

The smile that just appeared on Lin Jiangnian's face froze.

Asking about realm?

Sanpin asked?

? ? ?

…

There was silence and a gentle breeze.

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a long time, staring at the kite in front of him in astonishment.

Her clear and bright eyes seemed to be saying an understatement.

However, Lin Jiangnian was directly silenced!

Until a moment later, the stunned look on his face still did not fade away.

He knew that Zhiyuan's martial arts was not weak, but he never expected that this soft and frail maid next to him could actually be a third-level master? !

At a certain moment just now, Lin Jiangnian was still thinking about whether one day his martial arts skills would surpass Zhi Yuan's and he could easily defeat her...

Right now, the dream is completely shattered!

Seeing that His Highness was silent for a long time, Zhiyuan raised his head and glanced down, "My slave has already said..."

"Your Highness insists on asking."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian rubbed his face, so he asked for it? Zhiyuan didn't want to say it just now, was it because he was afraid of damaging his self-confidence?

...Do I still have to thank her?

Zhiyuan didn't speak either. She seemed to always like silence and speechlessness.

"Where's your master?"

It wasn't until he was silent for a long time that Lin Jiangnian came to his senses. He raised his eyes and glanced at Ruyi Tower not far away, and suddenly said: "Old Li, he must have a good background to be able to teach a disciple like you, right?"

Zhiyuan followed Lin Jiangnian's line of sight and nodded slightly: "Although the master does not know martial arts, he knows the essence of martial arts in the world and is a rare master in this world!"

"Do you know Mr. Li's origin?" Lin Jiangnian turned to look at her.

Zhiyuan was startled for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "I don't know."

"He never mentioned it to you?"

Zhiyuan nodded: "Master never mentioned it."

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised and looked quietly at the Ruyi Tower not far away. Even Zhiyuan doesn't know the origin of Mr. Li. Who is this Mr. Li?

After a long silence, he finally seemed to remember something.

"By the way, there's more..."

Lin Jiangnian slowly turned around and looked at the paper kite in front of him.

Dressed in white, with a delicate face and clear eyes, he stood next to Lin Jiangnian holding the lotus umbrella.

At such a close distance, Lin Jiangnian could even smell the faint fragrance coming from her body.

Zhiyuan raised her eyes slightly and saw His Highness suddenly turning around, looking into his eyes with a little doubt.

Lin Jiangnian asked casually: "Have you ever heard of Xuanyang Picture?"

The expression on Zhiyuan's face seemed to be startled: "Xuanyang Picture?"

"Your Highness...where did you hear about the Xuanyang Map?"

"Inside Ruyi Building."

Lin Jiangnian had already prepared his words: "When I was reading martial arts secret books in Ruyi Tower, I accidentally came across the news about the Xuanyang Diagram... I heard that the Xuanyang Mind Method is related to the Xuanyang Diagram, right? ?”

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "The Xuanyang Heart Technique is part of the Xuanyang Diagram."

"you know?"

"This slave has heard a little bit about it."

Lin Jiangnian quickly narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Then do you know where the Xuanyang Picture is?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Unexpectedly, Zhiyuan shook his head slightly.

"You don't know either?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned, then quickly relaxed his brows, and said with some meaning: "This Xuanyang Mind Technique is the inherited mental technique of my Lin family. So, then this Xuanyang Diagram must be in the hands of my father, right? "

Zhiyuan was silent, nodded, and then shook his head.

"what for?"

"My slave has never seen the Xuanyang Map, and I don't know its whereabouts. As for whether it is in the hands of the prince, I don't know."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "Didn't my father tell you?"

Zhiyuan shook her head gently: "The prince did not tell this slave about the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu."

"Really not?"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes, trying to see if she was lying.

However, Zhiyuan remained calm: "If the prince hands the Xuanyang Map to the slave, I will naturally not hide it from His Highness... I really don't know about the Xuanyang Map."

"If Your Highness wants to know the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Diagram, you can ask the Prince after he returns to the palace, and you will know!"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian frowned.

Even Zhiyuan doesn't know the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu. So, the only clue left is... Lin Hengzhong?

Lin Jiangnian's heart sank.

"When will my father come back?"

Zhiyuan said softly: "Your Majesty has arrived in the capital of Zhongzhou now. He will be back in less than a month."

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian felt a little heavy and complicated, and waved his hand: "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

"..."

The paper kite was still standing by the lake, holding the lotus umbrella and wearing a long white dress fluttering in the wind.

She quietly watched His Highness's leaving figure, her beautiful eyes still calm, but her expression seemed to have changed slightly.

Your Highness...it seems a little strange today!

Sensing something, Zhiyuan sniffed lightly.

Vaguely, she seemed to smell the aroma of wine from His Highness.

It's very faint, but it's there.

Zhiyuan still stood there, silent for a long time: "Here comes someone."

Not far away, a maid approached cautiously.

"Let Xiaozhu come to see me."

Zhiyuan's eyes were cold and she spoke calmly.

"yes."

"..."

On the other side, after leaving Sun Moon Lake, Lin Jiangnian did not return to his room, but walked through several alleys and came to a small courtyard.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Lin Jiangnian stepped into the courtyard, he heard a deep voice. A figure was standing in the courtyard, having been waiting for a long time.

It's Lin Kong!

Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on Lin Kong and he said calmly: "What's wrong?"

Lin Kong lowered his head, his face looked a little weathered, a little less youthful and a little more indescribably old.

He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "There are already some clues about what His Highness asked his subordinates to investigate..."

"As His Highness expected, Li Qianlin secretly had contacts with many people in Linjiang City..."

Lin Kong slowly talked about the information he found.

"This time Li Qianlin appeared in Linjiang City, he was indeed heading for the palace. The purpose is not yet known, and the person behind him is as expected... it should be the third prince in the court..."

"The purpose of Li Qianlin's plot in Linjiang City this time is unknown, but it should be related to the palace's conspiracy... Previously, Miss Zhiyuan asked her subordinates not to alert others, but to kill Li Qianlin and the people behind him when the time is right!"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian listened quietly and narrowed his eyes: "So, the person who assassinated my prince last time was also the third prince's person?"

Lin Kong shook his head, "Not necessarily!"

"The prince has made many enemies in the capital, and many people hate the prince to the core. It is not ruled out that they will target His Highness for revenge..."

"so……"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him with amusement: "So far, the murderer who assassinated my son last time has not been found?"

It has been some time since the attack on the ruined temple. The palace has been secretly investigating the matter, but it seems that the person behind it has not yet been found.

"The other party came prepared this time and did not leave any clues... The palace followed the clues, but did not find many useful things!"

"However, there are only two people most suspected of assassinating His Highness..."

"Which two people?" Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes.

"The third prince in Beijing, and..."

Lin Kong took a deep breath: "That King Xu of Xuzhou in the north!"

"King Xu?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled and thought about something.

north?

King Xu who coincides with Lin Heng and is called the King of the North and South?

They are also the only two kings with different surnames in the Daning Dynasty!

He also wants to die before the prince?

Many thoughts appeared in Lin Jiangnian's mind, and then disappeared quickly. His expression remained as usual, and he glanced at Lin Kong in front of him: "You did a good job this time, and I am quite satisfied."

Lin Kong still lowered his head, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Thank you for the compliment, Crown Prince."

At this moment, he lost half of his former rebellious attitude.

Since Lin Jiangnian exposed Miss Su's existence last time, his weakness has also been completely controlled by Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Kong is very valuable to Lin Jiangnian.

Nowadays, Lin Jiangnian has almost no power of his own in the palace, and he knows almost nothing about the situation in the entire palace. The entire affairs of the palace were in the hands of the palace's housekeeper and Zhi Yuan. Lin Jiangnian wanted to find out the information, but there was no other way except to go to the woman in red.

Therefore, this is the reason why Lin Jiangnian spared Lin Kong his life.

Lin Kong is an orphan adopted by King Lin, and he can be regarded as one of his favorites. His martial arts is not weak, and his ability is not bad...

Keeping him would mean that Lin Jiangnian had an additional intelligence channel in the palace. He can use this person to do something.

As long as Su Lu is still under Lin Jiangnian's control, Lin Kong will not be able to cause any trouble.

"There is one more thing that you need to do."

Lin Jiangnian paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "Go check on the Xu family."

"Xu family?"

Lin Kong was startled and seemed a little unable to react: "Which Xu family?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him.

Lin Kong seemed to have thought of something and was startled: "Your Highness, you mean... the Xu family of Linjiang City?!"

"Go and check, check the connections and influence of the Xu family in the past two years!"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "By the way, let's check together...Xu Xiupeng, my uncle Xu!"

Lin Kong thought of some terrible possibility, and his face turned pale in vain: "Yes!"

After Lin Kong disappeared, Lin Jiangnian's eyes remained normal.

Xu family?

Is there any connection with the same surname as King Xu from the north?

With Xu Lan's stupid girl's intelligence and scheming, it doesn't seem like she would be able to kill Prince Lin.

Moreover, there was no deep grudge between her and Prince Lin. The two grew up together since childhood, so there was no deep grudge between them.

So……

The only possibility is probably related to the Xu family!

Xu and Lin have been friends for decades. Could it be possible that something happened?

Lin Jiangnian didn't know it was just a guess, but...

Now it’s time to check it out!

…

Night falls.

inside the room.

Lin Jiangnian practiced cross-legged as usual.

diligent!

During the day today, I was stimulated by the kite.

Unexpectedly, the little maid next to him would quietly become a master in the Dao Realm.

This somewhat shocked Lin Jiangnian!

Calculating his age, Zhiyuan seems to be younger than Lin Jiangnian.

Looking back in time, it was only a few years since Zhiyuan entered the palace and became a disciple of Mr. Li.

So young, he is already a third-grade master!

Although Lin Jiangnian didn't think about how powerful he wanted to be at the beginning, he was a little unconvinced after being stimulated by Zhi Yuan today.

Therefore, after returning to the room, Lin Jiangnian began to practice more diligently.

When the Xuanyang Mental Technique circulated in the body for a week, he felt the majestic momentum surge through his body. The air flow slowly flows along all parts of the body, as if the Ren and Du meridians have been opened, smoothly and unimpeded.

It wasn't until a long time later that Lin Jiangnian slowly came to an end. When I opened my eyes, I was covered in sweat, sticky and uncomfortable.

He stood up and took a look at the night outside, then opened the door and went out.

"Someone is coming."

Outside the courtyard, a figure approached: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Get hot water!"

"yes."

…

After taking a quick shower and changing his clothes, Lin Jiangnian returned to the room feeling comfortable.

When he just stepped into the room, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Lift your eyes.

In the sight not far away, a familiar figure was sitting at the table, seemingly waiting for him for a long time.

The expression on Lin Jiangnian's face condensed slightly.

"How did you come?!"

The voice sounded a little guilty.

In his sight, the familiar figure sitting at the table was naturally... Liu Su.

Liu Su was sitting quietly at the table, waiting for him. The cold face was neither happy nor sad, and there was no emotion at all.

But Lin Jiangnian's heart skipped a beat and his eyelids twitched slightly.

The visitor is not good!

"Can't I come?"

Liu Su stared at Lin Jiangnian with an indifferent look.

"Yes, of course I can..."

Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

What are you afraid of!

there is always a solution to a problem!

What happened last night has passed. She didn't take revenge last night, so she can't take revenge today, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian gradually felt relieved.

I turned around and closed the door. My usual habit of locking the door was gone tonight...

He approached slowly, his whole body tense. If there was any accident, he would be able to run away immediately!

Just like that, he slowly approached the table, looked at the woman in red sitting at the table, and coughed lightly.

"What do you want tonight?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

Liu Su slowly raised her eyes and stared at him, expressionless: "What do you think is wrong with me?"

Lin Jiangnian probed: "I guess you're fine?"

Liu Su was still staring at Lin Jiangnian, and couldn't help but feel a little amused when she saw his slightly guilty but calm expression.

But when I thought of what happened last night, the shame and anger suddenly came to my heart again.

He really dared to drug himself? !

Last night, I almost got hit!

Fortunately, he didn't fall down in the end and left in a hurry before he had time to teach this guy a lesson.

After she has almost recovered today and the effects of the medicine in her body have been completely eliminated, and she has returned to normal, she will naturally come to him to settle the score!

How could he be spared so lightly regarding drugging?

As she was thinking about something in her mind, the smile on the woman in red's face became more and more... penetrating!

Lin Jiangnian immediately felt something bad when he saw this scene.

Is this woman trying to settle a score with her future wife?

From the corner of his eye, Lin Jiangnian began to glance at the door behind him...

"Are you afraid of me?"

Liu Su seemed to notice Lin Jiangnian's reaction and spoke calmly.

"Afraid?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head calmly: "Why are you afraid?"

"Then why do you look so unhappy?"

Lin Jiangnian remained calm: "I'm not feeling well today."

"Yeah?"

Liu Su narrowed her eyes, as if something dangerous was flashing: "In that case, can I help you take a look?"

"No, no need, right?"

"come here!"

Liu Su hooked her hand at Lin Jiangnian.

The movement was very light and seemed to be a bit teasing.

"Come here and let me take a look at it for you?"

"No……"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "...I suddenly feel that I am healed!"

"come over!"

The woman in red repeated it again, but this time the smile on her face disappeared. He stared at Lin Jiangnian and gradually lost his expression.

His tone also became a little stiff.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian knew that she had really turned her back, and sighed: "You don't mean what you say... Didn't you say what you said last night, won't you follow suit next time?"

"Why are you bringing up old scores today?"

Liu Su sneered: "Do you like this girl?"

Falling out last night?

If she hadn't been feeling unwell and almost collapsed last night, she would have fallen out last night. After my body recovered today, the more I thought about it, the angrier it became, so naturally I wanted to trouble him.

"I think you should calm down first..."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "What happened last night was a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?" She sneered.

Think she is a fool?

This guy clearly wanted to do her harm last night.

"How about I apologize to you?" Lin Jiangnian decided to be flexible and flexible.

The woman in red just sneered, "Do you think it's useful?"

"What do you want?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Do you want to kill me?"

The woman in red said expressionlessly: "Come here."

"Not going."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head.

This cannot pass.

There was clearly something wrong with the woman in red's face at this moment... If this happened in the past, I'm afraid there would be no good ending.

"Ah!"

She sneered: "Do you think it will be useful if you don't come over?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up abruptly, her red dress fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, there seemed to be wind in the room.

Lin Jiangnian's eyelids twitched suddenly: "Wait..."

"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu?"

The next second, the wind in the room suddenly died down again.

The woman in red had a cold face, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Is there any whereabouts?"

"Calm down first and let me tell you slowly?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, but seeing that she had not responded yet, he reminded him: "Business matters!"

Liu Su: "..."

Knowing that this guy was changing the subject, she calmed down again after hearing about the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his shameful and angry emotions for the time being, and glanced at him coldly: "Let you go for now!"

"explain!"

After saying that, she sat back at the table and stared at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Today, I went to find Zhiyuan..."

"According to the plan you mentioned before, find a way to find out the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu from her..."

"Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but Zhiyuan is actually a master of the third-level realm. Do you believe it? She is really dangerous. No wonder King Lin will reuse her..."

Liu Su interrupted Lin Jiangnian's chatter with an expressionless face: "Tell me the important point!"

"The point is..."

Lin Jiangnian sighed softly: "I asked her, but she doesn't know the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu."

Liu Su's eyes flashed fiercely: "Are you kidding me?!"

"Really not..."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said seriously: "When I tried to ask her about the Xuanyang Diagram today, she didn't seem to be lying. She really didn't know the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Diagram... In this way, anyone who knows the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Diagram can The only people left..."

"Lin Hengzhong!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Tell me, what should we do next?"

"..."

Liu Su fell into silence for a brief moment, and for a moment put the idea of ​​settling a score with Lin Jiangnian behind her head, frowning.

This news caught her by surprise!

Even Zhiyuan doesn't know the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu?

As a result, there are only two ways left to find the Xuanyang Diagram.

Either Lin Jiangnian continued to search aimlessly in Ruyi Building, or... he went to find Lin Hengzhong!

He must know the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu.

only……

The woman in red frowned and took a deep look at Lin Jiangnian in front of her.

This is her last plan, and it’s also a plan she doesn’t want to see unless she has to!

Today, Lin Jiangnian has gradually established a foothold in Prince Lin's Mansion. The more he looks at him now, the more he looks like the real Prince Lin. No one in the entire palace doubted this. Even Zhiyuan, who was most likely to see through Lin Jiangnian's identity, didn't seem to have much doubt about Lin Jiangnian.

Of course, her contribution is indispensable for this. She told Lin Jiangnian almost all the details of Prince Lin's character, living habits, and every word and deed. Lin Jiangnian lived up to expectations, and his superb acting skills and psychological quality were not revealed. The slightest flaw.

Of course, this is also related to the withdrawn character of Prince Lin!

There are not many people close to him in Prince Lin's palace, so it is difficult for ordinary people to notice. Lin Jiangnian can now gain a firm foothold in Prince Lin's Mansion and feel like a fish in water.

But……

Lin Hengzhong is different!

He is the biological father of Prince Lin, and the only relative of Prince Lin in the world!

Now if he wants to get the Xuanyang Map, he can only rely on Lin Jiangnian to find Lin Hengzhong to inquire about it. But the question is...if Lin Jiangnian meets the King Lin, can he get away with it?

What a shrewd person Lin Jiangnian was who had been on the battlefield for many years. Could Lin Jiangnian, the fake heir apparent, really be able to hide this from him?

Once the secret is revealed...

Liu Su frowned and fell into deep thought.

It wasn't until a long time later that she suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Lin Jiangnian solemnly: "Right now, this is the only way!"

"Go to see Lin Hengzhong...find a way to get the Xuanyang Diagram from him."

Liu Su's words did not surprise Lin Jiangnian. This indeed seemed to be the last resort.

"Aren't you afraid that my identity will be exposed?" Lin Jiangnian sighed.

Liu Su stared at him: "Are you confident?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "To be honest, no."

"I've never met Lin Hengzhong, and I don't even know what he looks like...Besides, how can a biological father not know his son? I'm afraid I can't hide it in front of him."

“I can’t hide it, I have to give it a try!”

Liu Su gritted his teeth: "No matter what, I have to give it a try!"

Then something came to mind, Liu Su's eyes were bright and firm: "Besides, it's not like there is no chance at all..."

"Lin Hengzhong is away from home all year round and is not close to his son, and his contact with him is not as much as expected..."

"It is true that you may reveal flaws when you face him, but as long as you cover it up well, there won't necessarily be any problems..."

"It's impossible for Lin Hengzhong to imagine that even if he beat him to death, there would be someone like you who is so similar to his son in the world. He would never have guessed that Prince Lin's son was betrayed..."

"So, it may not really be exposed!"

After an analysis, Liu Su gradually gained some confidence.

yes!

Who said it would be discovered?

As long as Lin Jiangnian disguises himself well, even if there are some abnormalities... but who in the normal world would think that Lin Jiangnian is fake?

As long as no fundamental flaws are exposed, there won't be any problems.

Thinking of this, Liu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, stared blankly at Liu Su who was determined in front of him and quickly made up his mind.

She's also... quite quick?

"But what if I really reveal my secret?" Lin Jiangnian looked at her again and asked.

"If your secret is exposed, you will die!"

Liu Su said expressionlessly: "From today on, I have to explain some details and habits of Prince Lin to you again... Do you have any questions?"

"Can I have a question?"

"cannot."

"Then you still ask?"

"..."

Under night.

There was silence in the palace.

A figure strolled in the palace, seemingly walking carelessly. Gentle steps stepped on the ground without making any sound.

Not long after, she appeared outside the small courtyard, raised her eyes and looked at the lighted room in the courtyard not far away.

"Sister Zhiyuan?"

Outside the small courtyard, the two maids standing were slightly stunned.

Why is Sister Zhiyuan here tonight?

"Um."

Zhiyuan nodded slightly: "Where is Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness has returned to his room and should rest soon."

Zhiyuan nodded, looked up at the still bright window, and hesitated silently.

"I'm going to see His Highness."

Zhiyuan spoke calmly and stepped into the courtyard.

The maids at the door looked at each other, and both saw a trace of shock in the other's eyes.

Sister Zhiyuan comes to see His Highness?

Visiting His Highness at night?

Is there something wrong with this?

Even so, the two maids did not dare to say anything.

…

The courtyard is clean.

Zhiyuan glanced at the courtyard. It was quiet and there was nothing strange about it. Then, she looked towards the corridor not far away, slowly approaching.

When he appeared in the corridor, Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and sniffed slightly, looking confused.

There is a hint of alcohol in the air, and at the same time, it seems to be accompanied by a wisp of fragrance?

A look of doubt flashed across his face, and Zhiyuan's eyes fell on the closed door not far away.

…

In the room, the lights flickered.

"Remember?"

After telling some details about Prince Lin again, Liu Su's mouth felt a little dry.

Lin Jiangnian thoughtfully wrote these down and nodded: "That's almost it!"

"It can't be almost the same, you must write it all down, and...when facing Lin Hengzhong, you must not show any flaws!"

Liu Su's eyes were very serious: "Otherwise, you will die miserably!"

She was definitely not being alarmist, this was a serious matter that could cost her life at any time!

Liu Su took it very seriously and even forgot to trouble Lin Jiangnian.

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian nodded. Of course he knew what would happen if the fake prince was exposed.

"correct……"

Just when he was about to ask something, he suddenly saw Liu Su suddenly turning his head and looking out the door.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned and saw Liu Su's expression changed and her voice suddenly lowered.

"There is a sound outside the yard!"

"somebody is coming!!"

"..."
