Chapter 21 The strangeness of the paper kite
Xu Lan is gone!
I was pissed off again!
Before leaving, he threatened to break off all relations with Lin Jiangnian and never have any contact with him again.
Lin Jiangnian naturally happily agreed...a double blessing!
After she left, Lin Jiangnian still sat quietly in the courtyard.
It was his carefully considered plan to beat Li Qianlin in the teahouse today.
Of course, it may be a little impulsive and a little dangerous. However, Prince Lin is an impulsive person, and beating people in public is just a common occurrence for him.
As a dandy prince with a very bad reputation, no matter what bad things he does, it is quite normal in the eyes of others.
At least Xu Lan doesn’t have any suspicion today!
Of course, there may be other reasons...
After coming back to his senses, Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly and was about to get up and leave when footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Lin Jiangnian turned around, and a figure in a green shirt appeared in his sight.
A paper kite in a green shirt appeared under the eaves not far away at some unknown time, and was walking slowly towards Lin Jiangnian.
One step, two steps...
Her movements are very slow and elegant, and her graceful figure is wrapped under a long skirt of a green shirt, with the hem of the skirt flying in the wind.
As the eldest maid of Prince Lin's son in Linwang's Mansion, she has a bit of maturity waiting to be bloomed, but also has a bit of youthfulness of a girl. When the two different styles come together, she is captured by Zhang Jue. The beautiful and delicate but expressionless face was broken.
Very inconsistent!
She is a good girl, but she has a cold face all day long.
When Zhiyuan slowly walked up to her, Lin Jiangnian just happened to stop looking at her.
Zhiyuan glanced at Lin Jiangnian with her beautiful eyes, and after confirming that His Highness was not injured, she said, "His Highness beat someone in the city today?"
"That's right!"
Zhiyuan was not surprised to know this. Linjiang City was full of spies from Prince Lin's Mansion, so the news of Lin Jiangnian's beating in public could not be concealed.
There is no need to hide it.
Lin Jiangnian nodded and glanced at her: "Is there any problem?"
Zhiyuan's eyes turned cold and she was silent for a moment, then said: "Li Qianlin's father is the Minister of Justice and is quite influential in the court. Li Qianlin has become close to the third prince again. The purpose of his sudden appearance in Linjiang City this time is not simple. As for Song Jue, the Song family has some strength in Zhongzhou, and they have never been in harmony with our royal family..."
After learning that His Highness had beaten someone in the city today, Zhiyuan rushed back immediately. After understanding what happened, she quickly realized that Li Qianlin and Song Jue's motives were impure.
Lin Jiangnian didn't care about this, but Zhiyuan's attitude surprised him. He glanced at her and said, "I thought you would blame me?"
Zhiyuan looked a little suspicious: "Why do you want me to blame His Highness?"
"My prince beat Li Qianlin and Song Jue in public and caused trouble. Logically speaking, shouldn't you accuse me of causing trouble?"
Isn't it the favorite thing of this cold and charming maid to do to discipline Prince Lin and cause trouble?
Zhi Yuan's eyes were slightly cold: "Then Li Qianlin and Song Jue didn't care about life and death. They provoked and insulted His Highness. They should have been taught a lesson."
"You finally said something humane!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at it with amused eyes.
Zhiyuan ignored the cynicism in Lin Jiangnian's tone. She had become accustomed to it over the years and remained silent for a moment: "I will find out their purpose and give His Highness an explanation."
Li Qianlin and Song Jue are not important, what is important is the people behind them... who instigated it?
She already had the answer in her mind.
"Okay."
Lin Jiangnian nodded and yawned: "I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."
Zhiyuan watched Lin Jiangnian stand up and prepare to leave, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness, wait a moment."
Lin Jiangnian stopped and looked back at her: "Is there anything else?"
Zhiyuan's expression was still cold, but in his originally calm eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and he was slightly hesitant and moved.
There was a strange look in her eyes. She looked at Lin Jiangnian silently for a moment, then she lowered her eyes slightly and said softly: "If your highness encounters this matter again, there is no need to take action personally..."
The voice was very soft, as if it contained some strange emotion.
Lin Jiangnian was startled, looking at the paper kite in front of him, with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes.
He had a clear mind, a trace of amusement appeared on his face, and asked meaningfully: "Why?"
Zhiyuan said calmly: "Your Highness is a man of wealth, and those people are not worth mentioning. There is no need to dirty His Highness's hands, someone will take care of them."
"It depends on my prince's mood."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, turned and left.
Zhiyuan stood there, watching Lin Jiangnian's leaving figure, and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until she came to her senses that she turned around and left the yard, saying expressionlessly: "Lin Kong."
Outside the hospital, Lin Kong's figure appeared, bowing his head respectfully: "What are your orders, Miss?"
Although Zhiyuan is a maid in the palace, Lin Kong has always been addressed as Miss.
Zhiyuan's expression was as cold as frost, and he looked ahead with his hands behind his back.
That stunningly beautiful face was expressionless at the moment, filled with murderous intent.
"It seems that we have been reluctant to retreat for a long time in Linwangfu, and some people can't wait to jump out!"
"In that case, let them do whatever they want!"
…
Prince Lin's Mansion is very big, and you can get lost if you don't pay attention. Lin Jiangnian followed the route he had written down in his mind yesterday and finally returned to his room.
The room was cold and empty. Lin Jiangnian didn't feel sleepy. He suddenly felt a little bored while sitting at the table.
As if thinking of something, he raised his eyes and glanced outside the door.
"Here comes someone."
Soon, a timid figure appeared at the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
It's Xiaozhu.
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Come here."
"oh……"
Xiaozhu took small steps and came to Lin Jiangnian's side: "Your Highness, what orders do you have for this slave?"
"It's nothing, I just want to chat with you."
Lin Jiangnian looked at the nervous look on the little maid's face and said with interest, "Sit down."
When Xiaozhu heard this, his face was full of panic and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, I can't..."
How dare she, a slave and maid, sit with His Highness...
Lin Jiangnian had a straight face and said expressionlessly: "Sit down quickly if I ask you to sit down. If you don't obey me, do you believe that I will arrest you to warm your bed?"
Hearing the word "warm bed", Xiaozhu was immediately frightened and his face turned pale. He could only sit down tremblingly. Half of his buttocks were next to the stool, and he lowered his head nervously, with a look of forced grievance on his face.
.
Afraid, aggrieved, but afraid to resist.
Lin Jiangnian was a little funny when he saw this.
This little maid is a little too afraid of him.
Presumably, it should be the lingering influence left by the previous Crown Prince Lin in the mansion.
However, Lin Jiangnian still wanted to get some information from this little maid. She couldn't be so scared and nervous.
"Don't worry, don't be nervous. As long as you are obedient, I will not catch you warming the bed now." Lin Jiangnian's tone softened slightly.
But what happened to Xiaozhu’s ears was... not now?
That means... So, in the future?
Xiaozhu's face turned pale!
It’s over, it looks like we still can’t escape this disaster!
