At nightfall.
Inside the Prince Lin’s Mansion.
In a wing courtyard on the east side.
Xiao Zhu lowered his head and walked to the door carefully.
"Sister Zhiyuan?"
Her voice was very soft, and it sounded particularly soft, pleasant and gentle in the night breeze.
No response.
Just when Xiao Zhu thought that Sister Zhiyuan had fallen asleep and was about to turn around and leave without disturbing her.
"Squeak."
There was a slight sound of the door opening, and Zhiyuan's figure appeared at the door.
There was no emotion visible on the face hidden in the darkness.
She was wearing a soft, light-colored, tight-fitting long skirt, which concealed her body in the darkness of the room.
"What's up?"
Xiao Zhu glanced at Sister Zhiyuan's room curiously. Why didn't Sister Zhiyuan turn on the lights in the room so late at night?
But she didn't think much about it and whispered, "Sister Zhiyuan, tonight His Highness, he, he..."
As if she thought of something, the little maid's face turned red: "Your Highness didn't do anything to this servant..."
Xiaozhu told Sister Zhiyuan what happened tonight.
Before tonight, Sister Zhiyuan asked her to help His Highness bathe, saying it was just a test... She originally thought His Highness would do something unkind to her, but she didn't expect His Highness to...
It’s a little off-topic, but not completely off-topic!
The little maid's face flushed red. His Highness took advantage of her, but it was just taking advantage of her, not... that!
The little maidservant's heart was in turmoil, her face flushed, but she didn't wait for Sister Zhiyuan's response. She subconsciously raised her eyes, but saw Sister Zhiyuan's face hidden in the darkness, still without any reaction.
Xiao Zhu felt a little strange. Why did Sister Zhiyuan seem a little strange tonight?
"Sister Kite?"
Xiaozhu spoke tentatively.
At the door of the room, Zhiyuan, who had been in a trance, finally seemed to come to his senses.
His eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment, looking at Xiaozhu at the door.
"I see."
She spoke.
The tone was emotionless.
Xiao Zhu felt that Sister Zhiyuan was a little strange tonight, but he didn't dare to ask too much.
"Then, shall I withdraw?"
Just as Xiao Zhu was about to leave so as not to disturb Sister Zhiyuan, he heard Sister Zhiyuan's voice again.
"Wait a moment."
Zhiyuan's eyes fell on Xiaozhu, staring at her quietly. After a long while, she suddenly spoke softly, "Xiaozhu?"
"Hmm? What happened to Sister Kite?"
"You think..."
Zhiyuan was silent for a moment before speaking: "What kind of person am I?"
The tone was light and calm, yet seemed a little confused.
That calm face also seemed to have a bit more confusion.
"What kind of person?"
Xiao Zhu was stunned. Sister Zhiyuan’s question was so strange.
However, Xiao Zhu still thought about it seriously and said, "Xiao Zhu thinks... Sister Zhiyuan is a good person!"
"Good man?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhu nodded seriously: "Sister Zhiyuan is a very beautiful and kind-hearted person..."
If Sister Zhiyuan had not brought her back to the palace, Xiaozhu might have been sold to a brothel and would have been living in dire straits.
Sister Zhiyuan was not only kindhearted but also approachable... As the head maidservant in Prince Lin's mansion, she enjoyed the prince's deep trust, yet she never bullied any of the servants, nor abused her power for personal gain. Furthermore, Sister Zhiyuan inherited the late Princess Lin's legacy, being charitable and often providing aid to the poor people of Linjiang City...
Xiao Zhu knew all these things.
In the entire palace, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lin, almost everyone showed some respect to Sister Zhiyuan.
Therefore, in Xiaozhu's eyes, Sister Zhiyuan is the best person in the world!
"Good man?"
Hearing this answer, Zhiyuan was stunned.
His eyes became increasingly confused.
I lowered my eyes to look at the beautiful Xiaozhu in front of me, with her clear and pure eyes. Even though her flowers have not yet opened, she still has the potential to be a beauty.
Is she a good person?
As if she thought of something, she almost subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and a hint of unnaturalness appeared on her originally cold face.
She took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and looked at Xiaozhu again: "Xiaozhu."
"The servant is here."
"From today on, you will stay by His Highness's side and serve Him well."
“Hmm…ah?”
Xiao Zhu suddenly raised his head, his innocent eyes wide open!
…
early morning.
It was just dawn when Lin Jiangnian woke up and stood up.
Without disturbing the maid outside the door, he took up horse stance in the room and began to practice martial arts.
Lin Jiangnian has to work hard quietly and then amaze everyone.
Learning martial arts starts with the most basic things like punches and kicks. The so-called martial arts still rely on diligence and the tempering of time.
Lin Jiangnian knew very well that being in such a place, he must seize this opportunity that would make him stronger and free himself from restraints and control!
Learning martial arts is his only way out right now!
Trapped in the Prince Lin's Mansion, Lin Jiangnian's identity and his origins may all be false, and may be exposed at any time and turn into nothing.
But the Xuan Yang Heart Method was right in front of him. Just as the woman in red said, if he could master the Xuan Yang Heart Method, his future would be limitless.
Even if any accident happens, if he has strong martial arts to protect himself, Lin Jiangnian will be able to survive in this chaotic and unfamiliar world.
An hour later.
Lin Jiangnian fell to the ground, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
tired!
After practicing, I feel sore and weak all over.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice qigong and regulate his breathing.
The Qi in his body grew thicker and thicker, and Lin Jiangnian became more and more proficient in controlling it. As the Qi circulated through his body, the soreness and weakness that had originally appeared in his body gradually dissipated.
It actually has such miraculous effects?
Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes, feeling a little surprised.
Feeling his body gradually becoming lighter and more comfortable, Lin Jiangnian tried to make a fist and clearly felt that the strength in his palms had increased a lot.
Is this the benefit of practicing internal skills?
It seems to be very effective.
After feeling pleasantly surprised, Lin Jiangnian glanced out the window and saw that the sky outside was gradually getting brighter. Then he stood up, pushed the door open and walked out of the room.
"Your Highness?!"
The maids outside the door were all stunned when they saw His Highness sweating profusely.
Your Highness, what happened?
Why are you still sweating in the room?
What did Your Highness do?
"I'm hungry, go get some food."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
A little maid in a light-colored skirt and with her head lowered was standing quietly under the eaves.
When she looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, she turned away a little shyly.
So cute.
"Um?"
Why is she here?
Lin Jiangnian was stunned and quickly realized something.
I sneered in my heart.
Zhiyuan’s plan is really good!
While warning him that the Xuan Yang Heart Technique could not injure his virginity, he sent the little maid to his side.
Is this a test or a way to harm him?
Or...revenge?
Lin Jiangnian thought about what happened last night, and his eyes gradually became meaningful...
Could it be revenge for kissing her last night?
"come over."
Lin Jiangnian came back to his senses and waved to the little maid.
Xiaozhu blushed and walked over nervously and obediently.
"Your Highness..."
"Why are you here?" Lin Jiangnian looked at her.
Xiao Zhu lowered her head and said, "This servant is here to serve Your Highness."
Lin Jiangnian looked at him with a playful look: "You're not going to run away this time?"
Xiao Zhu's face flushed red. How could she not understand the hidden meaning of His Highness' words?
She was too shy to raise her eyes, she was so nervous.
"Slave, this slave dares not..."
"Okay, then I'll give you another chance!"
Lin Jiangnian reached out and pinched her pink and tender face, which felt very good. The little maidservant grumbled, her small round face, her eyes slightly aggrieved and frightened, but she didn't dare to move.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her submissive appearance and an idea gradually emerged in his mind.
The little maid in front of me is Zhiyuan’s person!
But it was obvious that she was not a qualified 'spy'.
Then, Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually became meaningful.
Perhaps, he could try to turn the tables... and give Zhiyuan a surprise?!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually brightened.
When Xiao Zhu in front of him saw the increasingly strange look in His Highness's eyes, he became nervous and terrified...
Your Highness, what evil things are you thinking about? ! !
…
Just got a notification that it will be on the shelves tomorrow! Damn it, I'm afraid I'll have to work all night to finish the manuscript tonight
