A figure suddenly appeared in the room, and Wang Qin was almost frightened to death.
"Who? Who are you?!"
Wang Qin panicked and climbed out of bed. He subconsciously grabbed the blanket and wrapped himself in it. Then he looked up and said angrily, "Who allowed..."
His words stopped abruptly.
When his gaze fell on the figure standing in the window not far away in the room, he suddenly froze in place with a dull look in his eyes.
The next second, an expression of disbelief and horror appeared on his face. His eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something horrifying. He was terrified: "You, you..."
His voice was trembling, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body was shaking, almost collapsing.
Next to Wang Qin, a naked young woman wrapped herself in a quilt in panic, feeling dissatisfied and angry.
Who was that blind person who dared to disturb her and Prince Wang's good time?
Isn't this seeking death?
If you ruin Prince Wang's fun, won't that cost him his life?
Just as Piaoxiang raised her eyes angrily, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with Prince Wang beside her.
"Prince Wang? You, what's wrong with you?!"
Piaoxiang then realized something. The prince beside her was actually... trembling?
Like you're afraid of something?
Piaoxiang subconsciously looked at Master Wang, but saw that his pupils were wide open and he looked extremely frightened. It was a reaction she had never seen before.
Piaoxiang was also stunned.
As the son of the prefect, Prince Wang was a powerful figure in Xunyang City. No one had ever heard that Prince Wang was afraid of anyone, nor had anyone ever seen him get scared.
But now, what is Prince Wang's reaction? !
Piaoxiang was almost confused, and subconsciously looked up at the figure at the window.
He was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome and delicate appearance. His handsome face had a scholarly air, but also a strong determination.
Piaoxiang's eyes lit up slightly. As the most popular courtesan in Liuxianglou, she had seen many talented men and beautiful women in the brothel, and she had also seen many handsome men.
But those people are either some pedantic and pretentious scholars, or wealthy businessmen who are full of the smell of money, or they are dandy young men who are full of nonsense.
But the young man before her gave her an unprecedented feeling. Whether it was his handsome appearance or his seemingly innate temperament, it was enough to indicate that the man before her had an unknown origin.
Especially the young man, who was leaning on the windowsill with his arms folded across his chest, with a playful look in his eyes, looking at the two people on the bed with a half-smile, as if he was watching a good show.
"Wang, Prince Wang, who is he?"
Piaoxiang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
However, there was no answer.
Beside her, Wang Qin's face trembled uncontrollably as if he had seen a ghost. His handsome face looked particularly ferocious and terrified, and his voice trembled: "Ghost, ghost, you are a ghost..."
As if he had been extremely frightened, he spoke in a panic.
Piaoxiang was very confused. What happened to Prince Wang?
How could I be so scared by such a handsome young man?
Could he be some big shot?
"ghost?"
At the window sill, Lin Jiangnian looked at Wang Qin on the bed, who looked like he had seen a ghost, and said with a half-smile: "Young Master Wang, are you saying that this prince is a ghost?"
“You, you…”
Wang Qin pointed at him with trembling eyes, his eyes filled with fear: "You, aren't you already dead? How could you, could you..."
"Are you surprised that this prince is not dead?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Wang Qin's terrified expression, his expression becoming more and more amused: "In fact, this prince is already dead, and now he has turned into a ghost to seek revenge on you!"
"ah?"
Hearing this, Wang Qin trembled all over. He was so frightened when he suddenly saw Lin Jiangnian that he almost lost consciousness and didn't react at all. When he realized something, he looked out the window.
It's broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?!
Thinking of this, Wang Qin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, the fear in his eyes reappeared.
No, not a ghost?!
Then, then...
Wang Qin stared at Lin Jiangnian in the room, and when he saw the young man on the windowsill, he found that he was exactly the same as the Prince of Lin whom he had met in the prefect's mansion that day.
His heart skipped a beat and he was completely frightened.
Yes, it’s him?!
He, he’s not dead? ! ! !
Prince Lin is not dead? ! !
In an instant, Wang Qin felt dizzy.
"You, why are you here?!"
Wang Qin's voice trembled, and finally, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly opened his throat: "Come, come!"
"Quick, someone come!"
He turned his head to look outside the door and roared in panic.
Almost roared.
However, there was no movement.
"Stop shouting!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "When you, Master Wang, were happy, your younger brothers outside the sect had already been dealt with!"
Upon hearing the news, Wang Qin was terrified and shouted twice. Seeing that there was no movement outside the door, his heart finally fell into the abyss.
It’s over!
No, no one left?
Where are the guards?
What about the offerings at home?
All, all gone?!
"You, what do you want to do?!"
Wang Qin finally panicked, his eyes filled with fear and trembling.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing his and Miss Piaoxiang's good time, the room was specially chosen in a quiet place in the Liuxiang Tower. It was silent all around and no one would dare to approach without orders.
It was originally a place where he and Miss Piaoxiang spent their days in debauchery, but now it has become a prison where he can get no help from anyone.
"What do you think?"
Lin Jiangnian's tone remained unhurried, as leisurely as a cat playing with a mouse.
The plan had been laid long ago; Lin Jiangnian didn't need to personally capture Wang Qin; his men could have done it for him. But after nearly dying at Wang Qin's hands in the secret room in the back mountains, Lin Jiangnian naturally wanted to settle accounts with Wang Qin now that he had returned to Xunyang City.
Lin Jiangnian usually doesn't hold grudges, and will seek revenge on the spot if he has one.
The appearance of a person who came back from the dead in front of Wang Qin was enough to scare him half to death.
Lin Jiangnian was very satisfied with Wang Qin's reaction at this moment.
Killing him is easy, but making Wang Qin so frightened and enjoying the process of being tortured is the most important thing.
Wang Qin's heart skipped a beat, but after the sudden shock of seeing Lin Jiangnian "come back to life", he gradually calmed down.
After all, he was not a complete fool. Now that Lin Jiangnian appeared in front of him, it meant that his second uncle's plan in the secret room in the back mountain had completely failed.
This is absolutely a disaster for the Wang family!
But now, Wang Qin knew that Lin Jiangnian had bad intentions, and he needed to find a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible.
"I, I have no grudge against you. The matter in the secret room in the back mountain has nothing to do with me..."
After a brief moment, Wang Qin quickly decided to pass on the blame: "This, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"It's none of your business?"
Lin Jiangnian didn't expect Wang Qin to pass the buck so quickly. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is it related to? Is it your father or your second uncle?"
Wang Qin's face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth: "I, I don't know."
"have no idea?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Do you think this prince is a fool?"
At this point, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If you had the guts to take this matter on, this prince would respect you as a man. I didn't expect that, you really are just as expected."
Wang Qin looked embarrassed and sneered in his heart.
Carry it through?
Do you think I'm stupid?
If I can handle it, will you let me go?
Anyway, you didn't see it with your own eyes that it was me who did it. Besides... it wasn't me who locked you in the secret room and poisoned you.
It has nothing to do with me!
Just when he was about to make some more excuses, he saw Lin Jiangnian slowly approaching.
Wang Qin's expression changed immediately when he saw this: "You, what do you want to do?!"
He subconsciously wrapped the quilt around himself, remembering that he was still not wearing any clothes.
Lin Jiangnian had just taken two steps when he seemed to think of something. He glanced at the bed with a hint of disgust and stopped.
If Wang Qin had the guts to take the blame, Lin Jiangnian would have respected him. However, a playboy is still a playboy after all, and he is not worthy of public display.
Doing it himself actually made his hands dirty.
Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and several figures rushed in.
Wang Qin looked at these unfamiliar figures and his heart sank completely.
Not his person.
It’s over!
"You, what do you want to do?!"
Seeing these figures walking towards him, Wang Qin was terrified and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but before he could wave his fists in resistance.
"Bang!"
One of the guards was not polite at all and punched him in the face.
Wang Qin screamed and fell to the bed. He was then pinned down, tied up, gagged with rags, and expertly packed into a sack and carried away. The operation was smooth and simple, brutal.
After all this was done, a guard walked up to Lin Jiangnian and said respectfully, "Your Highness, there is another woman here... How should we deal with her?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at the bed.
At this moment, the courtesan named Piaoxiang was curled up on the bed in dishevel, hugging the quilt tightly, her snow-white shoulders exposed, her hair disheveled, and she was looking at him with horror.
She looked weak and uneasy, as if she had just been abused.
It’s true that Wang Qin, this bastard, has good taste. The girl in front of him is good-looking, and her pitiful appearance can indeed arouse people’s desire to protect her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Seeing Lin Jiangnian's gaze falling over, the fragrant girl on the bed spoke tremblingly.
She heard everything that was said just now.
She heard the prince calling the young man in front of him—'Prince'?!
Crown Prince?
Wang Qin's father was the prefect of Xunyang County. There were not many people who could make Wang Qin so frightened.
As for the Crown Prince...
Piaoxiang was no fool; she had heard about the events that had taken place in Xunyang City during this period. She had heard that the famous Prince of Linzhou had recently come to Xunyang City, and something had happened.
Combined with Wang Qin's reaction, Piaoxiang immediately determined that the young man in front of him was most likely the Prince Lin that everyone was talking about!
When you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
Back when she was at Liuxianglou, Piaoxiang had often heard Prince Wang mention the Prince of Lin, his words disdainful and provocative. Prince Wang had even threatened to teach Prince of Lin a lesson once he arrived in Xunyang City.
But what happened at this moment made Piaoxiang completely dumbfounded.
Prince Wang, was actually dealt with by Prince Lin?
Although it is true in theory, but, but this is Xunyang City?
Prince Lin, aren't you afraid of offending the prefect?
Of course, none of this concerned Piaoxiang. Her biggest concern was… Prince Lin was here to cause trouble for Prince Wang, and now Prince Wang was in trouble, so what was she going to do?!
Especially when she saw the cold and murderous guards around her, Piaoxiang was frightened out of her wits.
So, when Lin Jiangnian's cold gaze fell on her, Piaoxiang was frightened and subconsciously revealed a pitiful look.
When Piaoxiang noticed that the Prince of Lin was looking at her a few more times, she was suddenly delighted.
This Prince Lin... is looking at her?
Having spent years in the entertainment establishments, Piaoxiang was extremely sensitive to men's gazes and knew how to capitalize on her beauty. When she realized that the Prince of Lin seemed interested in her body, she subconsciously pulled the blanket down a little, revealing her jade-white skin...
Lin Jiangnian naturally discovered this.
When he saw the courtesan on the bed looking at him pitifully, with a dazed look and a hint of seduction, and the bedding on her body "accidentally" slipped off a lot, he was stunned for a moment.
What does she want to do?
Are you trying to seduce this prince?
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and quickly realized the little thoughts of this courtesan.
However, although this courtesan has a good appearance, she is not considered the most beautiful in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
As for what you think of her?
Lin Jiangnian shook his head secretly. He was not interested in things that had been used by others.
However, this woman had witnessed the whole thing, so naturally she couldn't be kept. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind him.
"Um?"
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously turned around and saw a figure appear at the door not far away.
Kite.
She appeared at the door at some point, with a cool and elegant demeanor, looking expressionlessly at Lin Jiangnian in the room.
His eyes first fell on Lin Jiangnian, and then on Piaoxiang, who was disheveled on the bed not far away.
When he noticed Piaoxiang's pitiful appearance and her exposed white skin, he seemed to realize something. His eyes, which were originally calm, suddenly seemed to have a bit more coldness.
It instantly cools the room down.
The fragrance on the bed was wafting through her mind. She had been thinking of trying to 'seduce' the Prince of Lin, but when she suddenly saw the figure appear at the door, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
How could there be such a stunningly beautiful woman in this world?!
The next second, when the woman's eyes fell on her, Piaoxiang's scalp suddenly felt numb, as if she was being stared at by some fierce gaze. Her whole body instantly became cold, her hair almost stood up, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Just one glance made it almost difficult for her to breathe!
This, this woman has such a good, powerful vision!
"Why are you here?"
Just then, Lin Jiangnian broke the silence and walked to the door.
Zhiyuan slowly withdrew his gaze and it fell on Lin Jiangnian's face. After staring at him for a few seconds, he turned around and left without saying a word.
After walking a few steps, she seemed to notice that Lin Jiangnian was still standing at the door, so she suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Let's go."
"Leave? Where to?"
Before Lin Jiangnian could react, Zhiyuan turned around again, his voice dull and cold, and seemed to carry a hint of anger.
"If you don't want to leave, then stay!"
“…”
