After leaving the room and passing through the long pavilion corridor, Zhiyuan, dressed in a green shirt, stepped into the lobby.
That beautiful and delicate face was expressionless, with a hint of coldness, staring at the figures kneeling in the hall.
"How's the investigation going?"
At this moment, kneeling in the front row was a general wearing armor and looking a little tired.
It was Lin Kong, the commander of the personal army of Prince Lin’s Mansion.
He knelt on one knee and said in a low voice: "I am incompetent..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the lobby seemed to drop a little.
Lin Kong's body trembled, he lowered his head, and his face turned slightly pale.
As the commander of the personal army of Prince Lin's Palace, he was now kneeling trembling in front of a maid.
It was not only because of the oppressive aura of the maid in front of him, but also because this maid held a very important position in Prince Lin's Mansion.
Even the Prince Lin, who was fearless in public, had to be a little cautious in front of her.
"Nothing?"
Zhiyuan's cold eyes fell on the man in front of him like a knife: "It has been three days since His Highness was assassinated. In three days, you haven't found any clues?"
Lin Kong's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness is traveling with a Taoist master protecting him and many guards accompanying him. Logically, he should be safe. But the other party clearly had a plan in advance, ambushing him along the way... Moreover, I have checked the crime scene, and I'm afraid they have dispatched a Tianxuan master..."
Hearing this, a sharp coldness flashed across Zhiyuan's eyes.
Tianxuan master? !
"Therefore, I have concluded that someone may have leaked Your Highness's itinerary. Following this lead, I have sent people to investigate the people Your Highness had contact with before his departure..."
"Believe me, there will be results soon!"
“…”
After finishing speaking, Lin Kong lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.
His Highness' assassination shocked the entire Linzhou!
Who could have imagined that those people would dare to send out a Tianxuan master to assassinate His Royal Highness right under their noses?!
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe, otherwise... the Daning Dynasty would probably be in chaos!
Princess Lin died early, leaving behind Prince Lin as his only child. If anything were to happen to the Crown Prince, given the Crown Prince's protective nature, it's hard to imagine what he would do.
Even if the prince has returned safely now, this matter is destined not to be let go!
Ever since Lin Kong rescued the surviving prince from the dilapidated temple outside Linjiang City three days ago, the entire Linwang Mansion has never been at peace.
Almost all the masters of the Linwang Mansion came out to search for those who were involved in this matter. The entire Linjiang City was almost turned upside down, and the people in the city were in panic.
…
The kite still stood where it was.
The beautiful and graceful body could not be concealed by the green shirt, with a slender waist that could be held in one hand, highlighting the girl's perfect curves.
She had her hands behind her back, her cold face remained expressionless, and her icy eyes were filled with a chilling chill.
His Highness's attack this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
I thought it was just a simple outing, but it turned out to be a hidden danger!
A second-grade Tianxuan master?
Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he had made up his mind.
In today's world, there are not many people who can avoid the eyes of Prince Lin's Mansion and send such a master to assassinate His Highness.
The only people with such abilities are the one in the northern part of the Daning Dynasty, or one of the people in the imperial court in the capital. Of course, it is also possible that the descendants of the fallen nation who live in seclusion in the Jianghu are also involved.
Over the past decade or so, the prince has made countless enemies. There are countless people who want him dead, and there are also endless assassination plots targeting the Prince Lin.
But this time, it is more rampant than ever!
And this time, it also touched the reverse scale of Prince Lin's Mansion!
Zhiyuan had a blank expression on his face and gradually retracted his cold eyes.
As if he remembered something, a strange look appeared on his cold face.
Then, she glanced coldly at Lin Kong in the hall and suddenly asked, "Did His Highness show any abnormality when we rescued him this time?"
"abnormal?"
Lin Kong was equally puzzled and whispered, "When I arrived at the temple, I was already a step too late. The guards around His Highness were all wiped out. Fortunately, I found His Highness hiding in a corner of the temple, who had managed to survive. However, His Highness had already fainted..."
Lin Kong told the Crown Prince the whole story of how he rescued His Royal Highness.
After listening to this, Zhiyuan thought for a moment, his eyes slightly cold as he said, "I understand. You can go down."
"yes."
After Lin Kong left, Zhiyuan remained standing there, hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "Fainted? All dead?"
She frowned slightly. The Crown Prince she had met in the room earlier gave her a strange feeling!
But I can’t put it into words!
There was a hint of confusion on her face.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any conclusion.
Maybe she was overthinking it?
It is not surprising that His Highness reacted in this way after being frightened and having a narrow escape from death during this attack.
However, Zhiyuan seemed to suddenly think of something...
Your Highness, it seems like you've never called her by her name before?
After thinking for a long time, Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Xiaozhu."
"The servant is here."
“…”
In a slightly dim room.
Lin Jiangnian sat on the edge of the bed, shocked and confused!
Staring at the tightly closed door, he recalled the reaction of the maid named Kite before she left.
Did she see something?
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help being so sensitive. Now that he, the fake prince, had appeared in the Lin Wang Mansion, he had to be extremely cautious with every step he took. If any flaws were revealed, and his identity was exposed, he would suffer a terrible fate!
Therefore, at that moment just now, Lin Jiangnian keenly noticed the kite's pause.
Something is wrong!
Did she notice something?
But when Lin Jiangnian thought about it carefully, he didn't find any flaws in his previous behavior and words.
Could it be that...
This maid named Zhiyuan is very familiar with the former Prince Lin. Could she recognize that he is a fake after just a few glances?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian was shocked!
That’s right, the women in red in the temple could quickly tell that he was different from the Prince of Lin. How could the maids in the Prince of Lin’s mansion not see it?
If this is true, then Lin Jiangnian is in extreme danger at this moment!
Just a few glances and a simple exchange made the maid suspicious. If she looked a few more times, wouldn't she be...exposed?
We have to find a way to get out of here quickly!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian immediately stood up from the bed. However, halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and after a moment of silence, he sat back down.
"well……"
Lin Jiangnian's sigh was heard in the room.
Can't escape!
Not to mention that the Prince Lin’s Mansion is heavily guarded, it is a question whether he can escape.
More importantly, Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered that he had been drugged!
In that dilapidated temple, the woman in red fed Lin Jiangnian a poison pill.
What is the poison?
Lin Jiangnian didn't know.
He wasn't sure if it was poison or not, but Lin Jiangnian didn't dare to gamble!
The woman in red didn't seem to be joking.
Even if he could really leave here, he would still die without the antidote.
This means that Lin Jiangnian must stay here and continue to impersonate the Prince of Lin.
Not only that, on the one hand, he had to risk being exposed at any time while pretending to be the Prince of Lin, and on the other hand, he had to worry about the poison in his body that might kill him.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath.
This is a really high-end game!
