In the room.
Lin Jiangnian, who had previously "left in anger", now had no emotion on his face.
He sat at the table with an expressionless face, and thinking back to the previous scene, his heart still felt cold!
Closing his eyes, the image of Chen Yingying looking at him with a fierce, sharp, and resentful look before she bit her tongue to commit suicide emerged in his mind.
Although he knew that she hated Prince Lin, Lin Jiangnian still felt a little frightened.
Earlier in the dungeon, Lin Jiangnian had tried his best to restrain himself, but Chen Yingying's sudden suicide still shocked him greatly.
I wonder if there are any flaws?
Will Zhiyuan suspect anything?
Lin Jiangnian didn't know, she was hiding it too deeply. Beneath her calm and beautiful appearance, she hid her meticulous and profound thoughts.
Can't see through!
But Lin Jiangnian had a premonition, like an instinctive premonition of facing danger... Zhiyuan still doubted him.
She didn't necessarily doubt Lin Jiangnian's identity, but she must have had doubts in some way.
This is not good news for Lin Jiangnian.
After taking a few deep breaths for a long time, Lin Jiangnian gradually calmed down.
He needs to be more careful next time and must not reveal any flaws.
Fortunately, Chen Yingying was the most popular courtesan in the brothel, and probably the person who knew Prince Lin the best besides Zhiyuan. Now that she had committed suicide, it might be good news for Lin Jiangnian.
Some things can never be proven!
Previously, Lin Jiangnian deliberately made things difficult for Lin Kong in front of Zhiyuan. On the one hand, he was testing how loyal Lin Kong was to Prince Lin as the commander of the prince's personal army. On the other hand, he was putting on a complete show for Zhiyuan to dispel her doubts.
Now it seems that the Prince Lin is in a good position, but in fact it seems that it is not the case?
Lin Jiangnian was full of thoughts, and just as he was sorting them out step by step, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the door.
Next second.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open and a figure rushed in.
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked up, and saw a man in his sight?
wrong!
Lin Jiangnian frowned, then relaxed.
To be precise, it's a 'man' disguised as a woman!
An extremely pretty and delicate face, with petite and regular features, thin eyebrows, bright eyes, a delicate nose and cherry red lips, clearly a woman.
However, she was wearing clothes that were more masculine in style, and with her slightly tall figure, at first glance she really looked like a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.
Of course, in addition to this reason, more importantly...
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the chest of this "brother", and when he saw the flat scenery, he already understood the reason.
Some people are born to be brothers!
At this moment, this "brother" rushed into the room. When he saw Lin Jiangnian, he was stunned, then showed an incredible look, and looked Lin Jiangnian up and down with wide eyes.
"You're not dead?!"
“…”
He looked extremely stunned and surprised, as if he was very surprised that Lin Jiangnian was not dead.
If it were someone else who dared to speak to Prince Lin like that, he would have been dragged out to feed the dogs.
But the person in front of me is different!
Lin Jiangnian looked the other person up and down for a moment, and the other person's appearance matched the person that the woman in red mentioned last night in his mind.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family!
Xu Lan!
…
"Why? Are you sorry that this prince is not dead?"
Lin Jiangnian collected his thoughts and glanced at her.
"Isn't that right?!"
After confirming with his own eyes that Lin Jiangnian was indeed not dead, Xu Lan put away his shocked expression, walked forward and said with a sigh, "What a pity! You, a scourge, are not dead. You really are a scourge that lingers for a thousand years..."
Lin Jiangnian sneered, "So you came here today to see if this prince is dead?"
"What else?"
Xu Lan spread her hands and said as a matter of course: "Do you think that with our friendship, I can come to visit you out of kindness?"
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, Xu Lan's face was full of regret: "I heard that you were assassinated, and I was thinking of coming to see you off and stop by your palace for a meal... I didn't expect you to be alive?!"
"Or, since the atmosphere has become so tense, why don't you just leave?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the man in front of him who spoke without restraint with an indifferent expression.
The Xu family can be considered a wealthy family in Linjiang City. They are old friends of the Lin family and have been in contact with them since the previous generation.
Xu Lan's grandfather was the current Minister of Rites, and had shown great favor to Lin Hengzhong over a decade earlier. Even after Lin Hengzhong's enthronement, the Xu and Lin families maintained close ties. With Lin Hengzhong's help, the Xu family rose to prominence in Linjiang City.
The purpose is to repay the Xu family's kindness in the past!
The Xu Lan in front of him was the most beloved eldest daughter of the Xu family.
She might be the only person in the world who dares to point at the nose of the Prince of Lin and curse him without restraint.
Although Xu Lan and the Prince of Lin have known each other since childhood, their relationship is not good. In Xu Lan's eyes, the Prince of Lin is uneducated and his behavior of bullying men and women is simply not human.
Xu Lan's carefree personality, lacking the gentleness and virtue that a woman should have, also made her unattractive to the Prince Lin.
However, due to the relationship between the Lin family and the Xu family, even though the two did not get along, they had known each other for so many years, and Lin Hengzhong liked his niece very much, so he warned Prince Lin many times.
In this way, Prince Lin would not dare to do anything to Xu Lan!
But the relationship between the two was not very good. Whenever they saw each other, they would either be sarcastic or make sarcastic remarks for fun.
Look!
Lin Jiangnian had just gotten into trouble, and when she heard the news, she couldn't wait to run over and join the feast!
"Hey, why don't you tell me how you survived?"
Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian with a hint of excitement. "I heard that the master who assassinated you this time was extremely powerful. Even the third-grade master beside you who was at the Dao Dao Realm was killed. How did you survive?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "This prince is blessed with a long life, and his life should not end!"
"Wow, do you still have any shame?"
Xu Lan crossed his arms and sneered, "From what I can see, you were probably scared to the point of peeing your pants, huddled in that corner, trembling, right?"
Lin Jiangnian was too lazy to pay attention to her.
However, Xu Lan had no intention of letting Lin Jiangnian go. She seemed to feel a little regretful that Lin Jiangnian hadn't died. Sitting across from him, she propped up her face and said, "You're still alive, this scourge of yours. The people of Linjiang City are in trouble again... You don't know how many people in the city planned to set off fireworks to celebrate when they heard the news of your assassination..."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her. Perhaps the only thing about her that resembled a woman was her constant chattering.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Lan keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Jiangnian's gaze and glared at him warily.
Lin Jiangnian asked, "Are you free?"
"What else?"
Xu Lan raised her eyebrows. As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she didn't have to worry about her livelihood, nor did she need to shoulder any family mission.
Aren't you idle all day?
Otherwise, how would he have the time to watch Lin Jiangnian's jokes?
"If you really have nothing to do, find someone to marry."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "This prince has no time to deal with you."
"Oh!"
Xu Lan sneered and raised her head with a hint of arrogance: "I will never marry."
“That’s right!”
Lin Jiangnian seemed to think of something, glanced at her, and nodded: "You probably won't be able to get married either."
Xu Lan noticed that Lin Jiangnian's eyes were slightly teasing, and his expression immediately changed. He angrily asked, "What did you say?!"
"Who said I can't get married?!"
"Are you married then?"
"That's because I don't want to get married!"
"But you still can't get married?"
“…”
Xu Lan left, slamming the door angrily!
She came quickly and left quickly, just like her impetuous and decisive personality!
Lin Jiangnian also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Lan had known Prince Lin since childhood, so even if their relationship wasn't good, she was likely familiar with him. If he stayed with her for too long, his identity would be easily exposed.
Lin Jiangnian had to find a way to get rid of her!
Fortunately, compared to the cold maid Zhiyuan, Xu Lan looks carefree and doesn't seem very smart.
It should be easy to fool?!
Night falls.
After having his usual meal and bath, Lin Jiangnian dismissed the servants and returned to his room alone.
In the dim room.
Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw a familiar red dress appear in front of the table.
The green lamp swayed, illuminating a stunningly beautiful face.
I have been waiting for him for a long time.
