In the dim dungeon, a young woman was imprisoned.
Her limbs were bound with iron chains to a wooden frame, unable to move. Her once exquisite silk dress was now tattered and stained with blood, yet it still couldn't hide her impressive figure. With her head lowered, a delicate face could be vaguely seen beneath her tousled hair.
Lin Jiangnian looked at the woman in front of him who had both good looks and temperament, but his mind was completely unfamiliar.
Obviously, she is probably the person behind the scenes that Zhiyuan mentioned!
But...who is she?
The woman in red did not mention the reason for Prince Lin's trip, so there was naturally no way to investigate the matter.
Lin Jiangnian had to be cautious and strike first.
He stared at the tied-up woman in front of him, his eyes slightly cold, and sneered: "So it was you who intended to murder this prince?!"
No matter who she is, hold her accountable first and shock her with your momentum.
The woman tied to the wooden frame slowly raised her head after hearing the sound.
Beneath her disheveled hair, she revealed a pale yet delicate face, her face devoid of color. Even in such a disheveled look, she still exuded a certain elegance, like a lady from a wealthy family.
However, since Lin Jiangnian woke up, no matter whether it was the woman in red, Zhiyuan, or even the little maid Xiaozhu, they were all better looking than the woman in front of him.
In such a comparison, she is indeed slightly inferior.
He has a handsome appearance and good temperament, and it is unlikely that someone who can associate with the dignified Prince Lin is an ordinary person.
So, which family does she come from?
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and wondered in his heart... Could it be the eldest daughter of the Xu family mentioned by the woman in red last night?
Xu Lan?
At this moment, when she looked up and saw Lin Jiangnian, the woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and an expression of incredible shock appeared on her pale face: "You, you are not dead?!!"
As expected, I know him!
Lin Jiangnian knew what was going on and sneered, "What? You thought this prince was dead?"
"you……"
The woman was terrified. When she saw Lin Jiangnian appear in front of her intact, her face turned pale as if she had anticipated something.
Failed!
The fact that Prince Gou is still alive means that the assassination has failed.
After so much hard work and sacrifice, and so many lives, it still failed in the end?
She hates it!
She is unwilling to accept it!
"You, how come you're not dead..."
Lin Jiangnian had a blank expression on his face. From the other person's eyes, he could tell that she did know the Prince of Lin.
In fact, I'm afraid I'm very familiar with it!
The person you are most familiar with is often the easiest person to attack.
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhiyuan behind him inadvertently and saw that she had no expression on her face and was looking at him calmly.
As if waiting for something.
Lin Jiangnian's heart tightened, his gaze fell on the woman on the wooden frame again, and he said coldly: "Tell me, why did you want to murder this prince?"
While asking about the reason for the assassination, he also took the opportunity to find out the other party's identity.
The woman looked desperate. When she learned that the dog prince in front of her was still alive, she suddenly became fierce. Her delicate and pretty face suddenly became ferocious, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian intently: "Bah, dog prince, you are full of evil and your crimes are heinous. Everyone in the world has the right to kill you... You deserve to die!"
"I only hate that you're so lucky that you're still alive... But don't be too happy too soon. A beast like you will eventually be punished by someone else!"
The woman with a gentle and pretty appearance suddenly went crazy, and the scene was very shocking.
Lin Jiangnian seemed to be being scolded innocently.
Although her scolding of the dog prince had nothing to do with Lin Jiangnian, after all, Lin Jiangnian was now pretending to be the prince of Lin Wang. He was scolded innocently and took the blame, an undeserved disaster.
More importantly, she enjoyed scolding, but Lin Jiangnian didn't get any useful information.
"You said that this prince is full of evil and has committed heinous crimes?"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "How about you tell me? I want to know what unspeakable evil deeds this prince has done?"
"Hasn't the evil you've done been enough?!"
The woman sneered repeatedly, staring at Lin Jiangnian with a fierce look, her resentment as if she wanted to eat him alive: "Everything, every one of them will be remembered. Sooner or later, you will get your comeuppance!"
Her ferocious and fierce look made Lin Jiangnian feel a chill in his heart.
How big is the hatred?
What on earth did that bastard prince do to her?
Lin Jiangnian squinted his eyes and looked her up and down. She was young, beautiful, and had a good appearance... Could it be that the bastard prince had abandoned her after having sex with her?
He glanced at Zhiyuan behind him and saw that she was still indifferent and didn't seem to intend to get involved.
Lin Jiangnian was worried... Was she suspicious of something?
"Unfortunately, you probably won't see the day when this prince gets his comeuppance!"
Lin Jiangnian, walking on thin ice, had to be extremely cautious. He sneered, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, "While this prince has more patience, I'll ask you one last question..."
"Besides you, who else was involved in the assassination of this prince?"
It was impossible for her to complete the conspiracy and assassination of the dignified Prince Lin by herself. There must be someone behind her!
I'm afraid it has a rather complicated origin.
However, the woman in front of him continued to stare at Lin Jiangnian fiercely: "You son of a bitch, just give up on this idea. Even if I die, I, Chen Yingying, will never tell you!"
He looks weak and disheveled, but his expression is tough and fierce.
Chen Yingying?
Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered who she was!
The most popular courtesan in Qingfeng Tower, Chen Yingying?!
Last night, the woman in red mentioned that Prince Lin had recently taken a fancy to Chen Yingying, the courtesan of Qingfeng Tower. He had been visiting Qingfeng Tower regularly and had a close relationship with the courtesan...
Is she Chen Yingying?
But...why is she involved in the assassination of Prince Lin?
Or was she someone who deliberately arranged for her to get close to Prince Lin? Was this a setup from the very beginning?
Lin Jiangnian vaguely guessed some of the truth.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian turned around and glanced at Zhiyuan behind him: "Have you found out who her accomplices are here?"
Zhiyuan glanced at the woman and said calmly, "It will take some time."
Her eyes were indifferent, as if she didn't take the other party's stubborn resistance seriously.
"How long will it take?" Lin Jiangnian asked coldly.
Zhiyuan said calmly, "Half a day."
No one could remain stubborn once they entered the Linwang Mansion. Even the most rigorously trained assassins could not withstand the torture in the Linwang Mansion.
Chen Yingying looked at the two people in front of her, her eyes filled with indignation and unwillingness, her delicate body trembling with fear. These two people in front of her, one is a wicked prince, and the other is a maid who aided and abetted the evil...
They all deserve to die!
What a pity... it was almost done, but it failed at the last moment!
She knew she would be exposed and what would happen to her. Once she entered Prince Lin's mansion, she would surely die.
She has survived until now just to confirm with her own eyes whether this bastard is dead or alive!
At this moment, in despair, she had already given up any hope of survival. Rather than being tortured to death by them, it would be better...
Chen Yingying's eyes were filled with despair, and she stared fiercely at the master and servant in front of her: "Don't even think about humiliating me, and don't even think about getting any information from me! You bastard, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!!"
The voice was firm and filled with deep resentment.
Lin Jiangnian realized something and turned around suddenly.
Then he saw a beautiful yet ferocious face, her eyes fixed on him, a trickle of pitch-black blood slowly sliding down the corner of her mouth.
Sad and creepy!
