"Last night, my subordinates searched the entire palace and found no trace of the assassin. However, in order not to disturb His Highness, no one searched His Highness's bedroom last night..."
Zheng Zhiming lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice, without any change in expression on his face.
Anyone else would never dare to say such a thing. By saying this, wouldn't it be like suspecting the Crown Prince of harboring the assassin?
A guard servant actually dared to doubt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is simply treason and insubordination.
But Zheng Zhiming was different. Strictly speaking, he was not a guard in the palace. He was a subordinate of Prince Lin and his most trusted and capable general.
When facing King Lin, he never hides his thoughts and emotions.
"Jiang Nian?"
Lin Hengzhong was slightly stunned, then stared at Zheng Zhiming in front of him with an expressionless face: "Do you suspect that the assassin has an affair with Jiang Nian?"
"I dare not."
Zheng Zhiming said in a deep voice, "I am only following the prince's orders."
As if thinking of something, Zheng Zhiming said, "I think there's something strange about His Highness!"
Lin Hengzhong looked indifferent: "Why do you think so?"
Zheng Zhiming lowered his head, his face devoid of any emotion: "Your Highness gives me a strange feeling..."
Zheng Zhiming didn't continue speaking, but the hint of doubt in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen His Highness for nearly half a year, but His Highness gave him a sense of strangeness.
It's hard to describe.
Zheng Zhiming's words were indeed too outrageous. For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.
Lin Hengzhong stared at Zheng Zhiming in front of him with an expressionless face. After a while, he gradually recovered and waved his hand: "I understand!"
After a pause, he said calmly, "You go down first."
"yes."
Zheng Zhiming didn't say anything else, just stood up and left silently.
At the same time, a figure appeared from outside the corridor.
"Your Majesty."
It was a kite.
Zhiyuan slowly approached, bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
Lin Hengzhong didn't look back. He stood under the eaves and looked up at the distance.
"How is Jiang Nian?"
Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Your Highness, everything is normal!"
Lin Hengzhong asked, "The assassin wasn't caught last night, so he wasn't disturbed, right?"
"No."
Zhiyuan shook her head slightly. Everything in the mansion was under surveillance and control last night.
This morning, the servants of the mansion also saw His Highness, and there was nothing unusual about His Highness.
"That's good."
Lin Heng nodded, still looking up at the front with an expressionless face, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time, Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking of something, frowned slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She glanced at the prince and lowered her eyes in thought.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Hengzhong withdrew his gaze and fell on Zhiyuan, seeming to notice something unusual.
Zhiyuan paused for a moment before speaking: "Zheng Zhiming just said that His Highness is a little strange. His Highness..."
Zhiyuan wanted to say something, but when she met Lin Hengzhong's gaze, she held it back.
Lin Hengzhong looked at her: "Why don't you continue?"
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes: "I dare not!"
"There's nothing to be afraid of!"
Lin Hengzhong waved his hand, then seemed to remember something and glanced at her: "Go and help me do something..."
“…”
In a quiet room.
Lin Jiangnian sat at the table, staring quietly at Liu Su in front of him.
The air solidified.
Liu Su's eyes fell on the hand that Lin Jiangnian extended. She stared at it for a moment, then turned and looked up at him: "Where's the Xuanyang Diagram?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her expressionlessly: "Your life is in my hands now... You have no right to bargain with me!"
"Give me the antidote to the love poison!"
Lin Jiangnian spoke very seriously and solemnly.
Liu Su was seriously injured and trapped in the Linwang Mansion. This was Lin Jiangnian's best opportunity. He wanted to take her life while she was ill!
However, Liu Su's eyes were indifferent and she shook her head slightly.
"Give me the Xuan Yang Diagram, and I'll give you the antidote!"
"Are you forcing me?!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her suddenly, a trace of murderous intent emerging in his eyes: "Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?!"
Liu Su's beautiful eyes were calm: "You won't kill me!"
The tone was soft but firm.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were full of ferocity, and he said without disguising it: "You'd better not challenge my bottom line again!"
"I'll ask you one last time... give me the antidote."
Lin Jiangnian's reaction seemed to be within her expectations. Liu Su's beautiful eyes softened as she opened her red lips and said, "No!"
The next second, a majestic aura surged in the room.
Liu Su blinked, only to see Lin Jiangnian already in front of her, grabbing her neck with a sullen look in his eyes: "Do you really think I dare not kill you?!"
Liu Su did not resist, or perhaps she simply did not have the strength to resist. She allowed Lin Jiangnian to pinch her thin and slender neck. As his wrist gradually exerted force, her breathing became increasingly rapid.
Those beautiful eyes continued to stare at Lin Jiangnian, their expression unperturbed. Occasionally, a hollow, dim light flashed across them.
Lin Jiangnian noticed the change in her eyes and was suddenly startled.
That look... is she begging for death?!
Those eyes were empty and without any light, without any fear, the fear of facing death.
Even with a hint of relief...
Is she really asking for death?!
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. He saw that Liu Su in front of him was breathing rapidly, and her originally pale face seemed to have a little redness.
Only then did Lin Jiangnian let go of his hand.
Can't kill her yet!
Lin Jiangnian had to keep her until he was sure whether the love poison would have any effect on the body.
As soon as she let go, Liu Su's body fell to the ground uncontrollably. Lying face down on the cold ground, she gasped for breath. The suffocation she felt at that moment had indeed made her feel the threat of death.
only……
Why don’t I feel the fear that others talk about?
Death isn't that scary?
Liu Su covered her neck and lay on the ground, motionless, leaving only her chest rising and falling slightly.
Lin Jiangnian stood aside, looking at the pitiful Liu Su lying on the ground.
At this moment, she no longer had the peerless and cold temperament that they first met, nor did she have the coldness that made Lin Jiangnian feel cold.
Lin Jiangnian stared at her in a daze, and was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.
"Let's make another deal."
Lin Jiangnian knew that it would be difficult to get her to take the antidote to the love poison on her own initiative!
This woman would rather die than give him the antidote?
Things are tricky.
"You are seriously injured now. Staying in this Lin Wang Mansion will only lead to death..."
Lin Jiangnian stared down at her: "Give me the antidote, and I'll save your life again..."
"How about I ensure you leave Lin Wang Mansion safely?"
Liu Su lay on the ground. It was unknown how long it took before she finally recovered. Her face became paler and weaker. She struggled to stand up from the ground and looked up at Lin Jiangnian.
At this moment, she looked extremely weak, haggard and a little pitiful. Unlike what she pretended that night, she was indeed very weak at this moment.
She slowly sat up and looked at Lin Jiangnian, her eyes still calm.
"Can you please say something?"
Lin Jiangnian frowned and stared at her coldly: "Do you really want to die here?!"
"There's no deep hatred between you and me, right?"
"You would rather die than give me the antidote?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her.
Liu Su remained silent, with her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian looked angry.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?!"
Seeing that she refused to listen, Lin Jiangnian finally couldn't help it. He stared at her coldly for a few seconds, then turned around and left the room angrily.
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut.
Liu Su still sat there, staring at the door in a daze for a long time.
After a while, she slowly withdrew her eyes, but this time, there seemed to be a hint of...guilt in those calm eyes?
…
Ruyi Tower!
After leaving the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian rushed here without stopping.
He wanted to find Senior Li to find out the situation.
"Love Gu?"
Inside Ruyi Building, sixth floor.
Elder Li looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of him, a little puzzled: "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about the love Gu?"
"I'm curious about it, so I came to ask Master Li for advice!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes remained calm as he continued, "Senior mentioned before that this love Gu is considered the most powerful of the Miao Gu techniques. So I'd like to ask Elder Li..."
"If someone is infected with the love poison, is there a way to cure it?"
Elder Li narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, thought for a moment, sighed softly, and shook his head: "I can't answer this question for Your Highness..."
"I'm not very familiar with poisons, and I've never seen this love poison before. I only heard about it in some ancient books many years ago. As for the antidote to this love poison, I know nothing about it..."
Lin Jiangnian's heart sank.
"Then, Senior, do you know if this poison cannot be cured, but the person who poisoned it dies... will the poison still affect the person who was poisoned?"
Elder Li nodded slightly. "Some can, some can't. There are different levels of poison, and it depends on the severity of the poison!"
"With some poisons, if the person who poisoned them dies, the insect will also die. Of course, there are other possibilities..."
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fixed: "Where's the love Gu?"
"Love Gu?"
Elder Li sighed and shook his head. "Although I don't know much about this love Gu, it is the most advanced and mysterious Gu technique among the Miao region's Gu techniques. The conditions for raising it are extremely harsh, and the Gu worms raised are definitely not ordinary creatures. Usually, this kind of poison..."
At this point, Elder Li suddenly looked up at Lin Jiangnian and said, "Generally speaking, there are countermeasures. Therefore, ordinary people cannot control such insects. If the person who poisoned them dies, the insect will be out of control..."
Mr. Li didn't continue speaking, but Lin Jiangnian already felt a chill on his back.
His face is slightly pale!
…
The last glimmer of hope was shattered!
Lin Jiangnian ultimately underestimated the power of the love Gu.
Elder Li was right. This love poison wasn't just any ordinary poison. A worm that could be cultivated was likely to have its own mind. While its owner was still alive, things might be fine. But once its owner died and the worm was free from control, what would happen?
Lin Jiangnian shuddered, and his hands and feet felt cold for a moment!
ruthless!
Too cruel!
He underestimated Liu Su's methods. This love poison was truly vicious.
What is love poison?
It's clearly a poison that harms people!
Walking out of Ruyi Tower and taking a deep breath, Lin Jiangnian's face became gloomy.
Now that Liu Su was in his hands, it was clearly a perfect opportunity. However, he had never expected that the final initiative was still in her hands, and she still controlled Lin Jiangnian's life and death at any time.
Then, she can't die yet!
Lin Jiangnian had no expression on his face.
Liu Su cannot be allowed to die until the poison in his body is removed.
Moreover, there is only one way before him right now... find a way to get the antidote from Liu Su!
At all costs!
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
This is his last chance!
If we miss this opportunity, or if something happens to Liu Su, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian took another deep breath and left quickly.
…
The atmosphere in the palace was still tense.
The prince was assassinated last night, and the culprit has not been caught until today. Almost all the guards in the palace have come out, but they can't catch a small assassin.
For a time, people were in panic!
No one knows where the assassin is.
There are rumors that the assassin escaped from Prince Lin's Mansion last night, while others say that the assassin is still hiding in the mansion, in a corner, or maybe mingling with the people in the mansion.
The entire palace was shaken.
Before the prince was assassinated last night, he was drugged. The only person who could have drugged the prince was at the family dinner last night.
Therefore, almost all the people involved in last night's incident were arrested.
From the kitchen to the front yard, from servants to maids, no one involved in last night's incident was spared and all were taken away for interrogation. This also caused the atmosphere in the palace to be extremely depressing. The servants in the palace didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that they would be found out at any time.
Lin Jiangnian returned to the courtyard, which was still quiet.
He came to the door of the room, pushed it open and went in. His eyes scanned the room and landed on the carpet not far away.
Liu Su, wearing a blood-stained red dress, was still sitting on the ground, seemingly in a daze. She only looked up when Lin Jiangnian entered the room.
As if realizing something, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian's hand. That was...
Lin Jiangnian threw the things in his hand to her and said, "Put them on!"
Liu Su looked down and saw that it was a small package with something sticking out from inside... clothes?
Liu Su was stunned and looked up at him, her expression seemed a little surprised and confused.
Wasn't he furious and wanted to kill her before?
She slammed the door and walked out in frustration... Why did he bring her clothes when he came back?
"Are you touched?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her dazed expression and sighed softly: "If you are moved, then give me the antidote quickly!"
Liu Su didn't say anything, just stared at him blankly.
"Why are you doing this?"
At this moment, the murderous look on Lin Jiangnian's face disappeared. He sighed and said, "There is no hatred between you and me, why are you so persistent..."
"You can't even protect yourself right now, so why are you still so obsessed with the Xuan Yang Diagram? I don't know where to find it right now, but what if..."
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "How about you give me the antidote first?"
"I promise, I will find a way to help you get the Xuanyang Map. How about that?"
Lin Jiangnian was really worried that she would die suddenly!
It’s not a good idea for her to hide here now. If she really can’t survive this time, Lin Jiangnian will have to be wary.
Judging from her previous reaction, it seemed that threatening her was useless. Lin Jiangnian almost strangled her to death, but she looked like she was begging for death.
Since the hard approach doesn't work, Lin Jiangnian can only try a softer method to see if he can find a way to break her defense first, such as... playing the emotional card!
Liu Su was silent, with some movement in her eyes, as if she was hesitating about something.
She stared at the package in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a sound was heard outside the yard.
Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su heard a familiar voice coming from outside the yard almost at the same time.
"Kite?!"
Lin Jiangnian's expression suddenly changed. Why is she here? !
Liu Su seemed to realize something and her breathing became a little faster.
"You hide first, I'll find a way to get her away!"
After a brief moment of panic, Lin Jiangnian quickly reacted and gave the order immediately. Liu Su was silent, looked at him, and nodded slightly.
Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, turned around and pushed the door open. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a figure walking in from a distance!
It was indeed a kite.
Zhiyuan, wearing a light blue skirt, walked into the yard. There were a few light-colored flowers embroidered on the hem of her skirt. The corset embroidered with patterns bound up the girl's slender waist, making it slender enough to be held in one hand.
Clean and neat, charming and cool.
What a cold maid!
Zhiyuan walked slowly into the yard, looked up and saw Lin Jiangnian standing under the eaves, and stopped.
"Your Highness."
Something strange seemed to flash in her eyes, and then she regained her composure and spoke lightly.
"Why are you here?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
Why did she come here again today?
Zhiyuan slowly raised her eyes and said calmly, "I came to see Your Highness!"
"Look at me?"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned and very surprised.
Is this something that could come out of Zhiyuan's mouth?
The next second, Lin Jiangnian suddenly became alert...something was wrong!
There's definitely something wrong with the kite.
As expected, when Zhiyuan just said she was coming to see Lin Jiangnian, her beautiful eyes stared at him, as if she was thinking about something. By chance, Lin Jiangnian noticed that her eyes seemed to glance behind him inadvertently.
Lin Jiangnian's heart skipped a beat.
"Look at this prince?"
Lin Jiangnian's expression remained unchanged. He walked into the yard and came in front of Zhiyuan.
One step, two steps...
When he was less than two steps away from Zhiyuan, he stopped, lowered his head and stared at her delicate face quietly, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Why did you suddenly come to see me? Could it be..."
"Do you miss me, Prince?"
Lin Jiangnian's face showed a teasing look, and he looked at her with a smile.
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes, her face expressionless, and she spoke calmly, "Your Highness, you are overthinking it. I am here to see Your Highness on the orders of the prince."
On the prince's orders?
Lin Jiangnian frowned, but the playful smile on his face did not fade: "My father asked you to come see me, what's the matter?"
Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and just as she looked up, she saw Lin Jiangnian suddenly approaching. She blinked sharply and took a step back.
He quickly distanced himself from Lin Jiangnian and stared at him with vigilance.
"Wow, you're pretty quick to react?"
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian said with some surprise.
Zhiyuan's cold face finally showed a hint of emotion. She stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time and said silently, "Your Highness, why do you have to do this?"
“It’s fun!”
Lin Jiangnian liked this look of hers the most, her reaction as if she was being bullied but helpless...very interesting.
"I mean..."
Zhiyuan raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Your Highness, why do you have to hide it?"
Lin Jiangnian was suddenly startled and stared at her in confusion.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhiyuan stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly looked away and suddenly spoke.
"Liu Ye is gone!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Jiangnian's face changed.
Oh no!
Forget about this!
Or rather, Lin Jiangnian remembered it, but didn't have time to solve it.
Willow Leaf...Liu Su's pseudonym!
Last night, Prince Lin was assassinated, and the entire palace was in a state of panic. The prince was poisoned, which meant there was a traitor in the palace. As long as we investigate, we will find that the maid named Liu Ye is missing.
The prince was assassinated last night, and she suddenly disappeared, so she is highly suspected of assassinating the prince!
Lin Jiangnian had anticipated this, but he didn't care. The fact that Zhiyuan had come here...his purpose was self-evident.
Liu Ye is Lin Jiangnian's maid and has always been very close to Lin Jiangnian, so... what is she suspicious of?
Lin Jiangnian's heart suddenly sank. After a brief thought, he suppressed his shock and asked, "She's gone?"
"What do you mean? Where did she go?!"
Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes for a long time before looking away and said calmly, "Your Highness, don't you know?"
"Why would this prince care about the whereabouts of a maid?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke calmly, saying lightly: "Aren't you handling these matters?"
Zhiyuan said calmly, "She is His Highness's personal maid. If she disappears... His Highness doesn't care?"
"She's just a maid. Do you think this prince would care about a little maid?"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on her and he said playfully, "Compared to that, this prince actually cares about you more!"
Zhiyuan still looked at him calmly, and only after a while did she retract her gaze: "It seems that I was overthinking it!"
She said calmly: "Since Your Highness is fine, I will take my leave!"
After saying that, Zhiyuan turned and left!
Lin Jiangnian stood there, watching Zhiyuan's figure disappear from the courtyard. He couldn't calm down for a long time and looked surprised and uncertain.
What is going on?
Did she see something?
With Liu Ye gone, Zhi Yuan naturally suspected she was the assassin from last night. Lin Jiangnian, Liu Ye's master, had spent the past two weeks with her almost daily, and now that she was gone, Zhi Yuan naturally suspected Lin Jiangnian.
She was obviously testing me just now!
However, what Lin Jiangnian couldn't understand was that according to Zhiyuan's personality, if she really suspected something, she would definitely not let it go.
At least, she would find an excuse to break into the room and take a look, just like she did last time?
Then why did she leave suddenly again?
This should obviously be good news, but for some reason Lin Jiangnian became more and more uneasy.
Suppressing his inner uneasiness, Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath and turned back to the room.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Liu Su sitting at the table.
At this moment, she had changed out of the blood-stained red dress and put on the skirt brought by Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian took this piece of clothing from Xiaozhu.
It is obvious that Xiaozhu's figure is different from Liusu's. The clothes that are a little loose on Xiaozhu are just right when they fit Liusu.
Especially the chest part of the skirt, when Xiaozhu wears it, it is open and empty, pure and cute.
But when Liu Su wore this skirt, it made her chest look plump and big.
Sexy and seductive!
The same piece of clothing can convey completely opposite temperaments when worn by different people.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes subconsciously fell on Liu Su's conspicuous chest and he was stunned for a moment.
My mind suddenly recalled the accidental touch that night...
Liu Su, who was sitting at the table, also noticed something was wrong with Lin Jiangnian's gaze, and her face flushed. She quickly turned around, readjusted herself, and finally managed to look less conspicuous. Then, with an unnatural expression, she turned back.
"Why didn't you hide?"
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze and looked at her sitting blatantly at the table, and said in surprise.
"Why are you hiding?"
Liu Su returned to normal and said softly, "If she wants to come in, I can't hide."
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
That’s right. If Zhiyuan had forced her way in just now, Liu Su would not have been able to escape her sight no matter where she hid.
There is no need to hide anymore!
"If she had broken in just now, you would have been dead!" Lin Jiangnian said.
Liu Su looked at him and suddenly said, "Will you let her in?"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned and did not answer the question.
But the answer must be obvious.
Won't!
Lin Jiangnian will definitely try every possible means to stop it.
"She might be suspicious!"
Lin Jiangnian's expression gradually became solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice.
Liu Su seemed to have anticipated this: "Of course... I disappeared last night, she will definitely be suspicious of me."
"Then why did she..."
Lin Jiangnian frowned. She had clearly suspected something, so why did she leave?
Liu Su wasn't quite sure either, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
"No matter what, you are in danger now and may die at any time!"
Lin Jiangnian collected his thoughts and stared at her again: "If you continue to stay here, you will be at risk of being discovered at any time. If you die, what use will this Xuanyang Map be to you?"
"so……"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her and sighed: "Can you give me the antidote?"
"As long as you give me the antidote, I will still help you get the Xuanyang Map, and as the Crown Prince of Lin, I will escort you safely out of the Lin Palace... Isn't that good?"
Liu Su lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. An indescribable strange color appeared on her cold face. After a long silence, she finally spoke softly.
“There is no antidote.”
The sound is very soft.
Lin Jiangnian barely heard: "What?"
"There's never been an antidote to love poison!"
Liu Su raised her eyes, staring quietly into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and said softly: "I have always lied to you before... Once the love poison is planted, it cannot be removed unless you die!"
"There's no antidote, and no one in the world can solve it!"
The voice was still very soft, but this time it was very clear, and every word fell into Lin Jiangnian's ears.
Lin Jiangnian stood there in a daze, unable to believe it.
After a while, his face suddenly turned ashen and he stared at her: "What did you say?!"
"There's no antidote for the love poison?"
"You're still lying to me?!"
“…”
Facing Lin Jiangnian's gloomy face, Liu Su remained calm, concealing the last trace of strange emotion in her eyes, and continued softly, "The Love Gu is a secret weapon of the Miaojiang royal family, and it is also the most powerful Gu among all Gu techniques!"
"Its power doesn't lie in how strong its toxicity is or how quickly it kills people, but in its intractability..."
"Once the Gu worm is injected, it will gradually merge into your body, into your flesh and blood, and will never separate, unless... you die!"
Liu Su's beautiful eyes remained calm. "Once you die, the poisonous insect will naturally die with you... Apart from this, there is no other antidote in the world that can cure it..."
“…”
Liu Su's words exploded in Lin Jiangnian's mind like thunder, leaving him dizzy and stunned.
No antidote?
Love Gu, no solution?!
She had been lying to him from the beginning to the end?
From the very beginning, she didn't intend to let him live?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes became fierce again. He stared at Liu Su: "Are you lying to me again?!"
"How come there is no antidote?!"
"How could there be no antidote for this poison?!!"
Liu Su said calmly, "I started raising the love insect when I was six years old. It took me ten years to finally cultivate it. No one knows its terrifying nature better than me..."
"If I were to give you another poison, as long as it wasn't a strong one, there would always be a way to detoxify it with the countless rare elixirs in Ruyi Tower. But the Gu worm is different..."
"Once the love poison is planted, even a master will be powerless. This is why I never worried about you escaping my control..."
Once the love poison without an antidote is planted, Lin Jiangnian will completely become her puppet. Except for death, there is no way he can escape from her control.
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
He stared at Liu Su, his voice hoarse and cold: "So, you have been playing tricks on me from the beginning to the end, right?!"
Lin Jiangnian's cold gaze made Liu Su's heart tremble slightly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "I really did trick you... If you are angry, you can kill me to vent your anger!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her coldly: "If I kill you, will this love poison kill me?"
Liu Su was silent, "Yes!"
“…”
"ruthless!"
"You're so fucking cruel!"
Lin Jiangnian slumped down on the table next to him and stared at her fiercely.
No matter how much I planned, I couldn't have expected this to happen.
Love Gu, no antidote?!
Isn't this a joke?!
There is no antidote for the love poison. Doesn’t that mean that Lin Jiangnian will be controlled by her for the rest of his life?
Besides, she can't be allowed to die?
Once Liu Su dies, Lin Jiangnian will be doomed as well?
What a love poison!
No wonder it’s called love poison!
If one dies, the other will die too, right?
"If you die, I will die too?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her intently: "If I die, will you be okay?"
Liu Su was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
The love insect was a worm she had cultivated for ten years, pouring countless efforts into it. If Lin Jiangnian died, the insect would die with it. Once the insect died, she would also be attacked. Although she would not die, she would definitely be seriously injured.
After hearing this, Lin Jiangnian felt a little more balanced.
"So, from the moment you cast the curse on me, your fate has been tied to mine?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her, "Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to assassinate Prince Lin?"
"This time when I entered the palace to assassinate Lin Hengzhong, I never thought of returning alive."
Liu Su was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, her eyes slightly dim: "It's just that I underestimated his strength. I didn't even have the ability to hurt him..."
She boasted that she had calculated everything and planned for a long time, but in the end she overestimated herself.
"Why bother?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at her: "Why did you want to assassinate him?"
"Who are you? And what kind of force is the Celestial God Cult?"
Lin Jiangnian asked a series of questions, but Liu Su did not answer.
silence.
The atmosphere in the room became weird.
Lin Jiangnian stared at her, feeling extremely complicated at the moment.
Is there really no antidote for love poison?
Doesn't this mean that their fates are tied together?
If Liu Su dies, Lin Jiangnian will not be able to survive either?
Lin Jiangnian wanted to curse.
Could it be that his fate will always be controlled by her?
No, that's not right...
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
Is there really no antidote for love poison?
Although there was no flaw in her words just now, Lin Jiangnian still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
How can it be completely unsolvable?
Lin Jiangnian had tried this before and could sense the presence of the Gu worm in his body. Since it was a foreign object in his body, was there no way to force it out?
Did she really not lie?
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but Lin Jiangnian quickly restrained it.
…
Night falls.
The palace was quiet.
Lin Jiangnian sat on the steps under the eaves, questioning his life.
The poison can't be cured?
After hearing the news, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt that his life seemed to have become bleak.
From the moment he stepped into the Lin Wang Mansion, he had been walking on thin ice, being very cautious. In order to protect himself, he practiced martial arts diligently and diligently, all for the purpose of one day getting rid of all the threats and control, taking control of his own life, and making a living in this world!
But what was happening now seemed to mean that all his efforts over the past two months had been wasted? Was everything he had done before meaningless?!
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian even had the urge to go back to the room, kill that woman, and die with her!
Grass!
No more alive!
As thoughts came to his mind, Lin Jiangnian became somewhat exasperated.
Rather than being controlled by others for the rest of your life, why not just die together?
right!
Sleep first, then kill!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's thoughts surged up in his mind. He immediately stood up and was about to return to his room when the respectful voice of a maid suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Your Majesty."
Prince?
Lin Jiangnian was startled and turned his head suddenly. Lin Hengzhong appeared outside the courtyard gate not far away.
Lin Hengzhong walked slowly into the yard, "Jiang Nian?!"
He saw Lin Jiangnian standing under the eaves and seemed a little surprised: "What are you doing here?"
"father……"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, then he collected his thoughts and said, "I have nothing to do at night, so I'll go to the yard to enjoy the cool air..."
He made up a random excuse, paused, and then asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Dad is fine. I just finished some important business and came to see you."
Lin Hengzhong looked at him quietly, as if remembering something. "Oh, Dad forgot to ask you before. Zhiyuan gave you the key. Have you been to the seventh floor of Ruyi Tower?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I have been there."
Lin Heng nodded emphatically and said, "The seventh floor contains all the relics left by your mother. Your mother was frugal by nature and didn't like extravagance. She was reluctant to throw away many things... After your mother passed away, your father stored them all in Ruyi Tower..."
Speaking of this, there seemed to be a hint of nostalgia in Lin Hengzhong's eyes.
Lin Jiangnian was a little dazed.
Why did Prince Lin suddenly tell him all this?
Why does it feel a little weird?
However, Lin Jiangnian did not say a word.
Lin Hengzhong's appearance here tonight made him feel vaguely uneasy.
At this moment, Lin Heng, who had gradually regained his composure, glanced at him again: "You've practiced the Xuan Yang Heart Technique that Dad left there, right?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded.
"How's the training going?" Lin Hengzhong asked.
"It's okay..."
Lin Jiangnian's words were vague, but that should be okay, right?
"Stretch out your hands, let Daddy see!"
Lin Jiangnian was startled and glanced at Lin Hengzhong. Seeing that he was staring at him, his heart skipped a beat.
Reach out
Is it a temptation?
Lin Jiangnian's heart sank, but he still reached out his hand.
Lin Hengzhong grabbed his hand, frowned at first, then suddenly relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiangnian felt a surge of scorching, powerful internal energy pouring into his body. His entire body instantly felt hot, and at the same time, the internal energy within him began to surge uncontrollably.
There seemed to be an endless supply of powerful internal energy in Lin Hengzhong's body, which surged into Lin Jiangnian's body like a vast ocean, almost bursting him.
Lin Jiangnian's face showed a bit of pain and a ferocious look.
pain!
My meridians are swollen and painful all over my body, it’s extremely uncomfortable!
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Lin Hengzhong finally stopped.
Lin Jiangnian staggered and almost fell to the ground. He held on to the railing beside him, panting.
At this moment, his body was still churning with internal energy, and his inner strength was surging crazily. But then, Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized that the internal energy surging in his body seemed to have become thicker and longer?
If it was just a small stream before, then at this moment the surging "qi" in its body is smooth and unobstructed.
this……
Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked up at Lin Hengzhong.
"Dad, this..."
Lin Hengzhong nodded slightly and explained, "Dad has already opened up all the meridians in your body, helping you avoid some detours!"
"You have indeed inherited Dad's martial arts talent. You have acquired such a strong internal force in such a short time. It is indeed remarkable. Dad has now opened up all your meridians to help you practice more easily. I think it won't be long before you can break through the first level of the Xuanyang Heart Method!"
Lin Jiangnian stared blankly, and it took him a while to realize something... Was Lin Hengzhong helping him practice just now?
Forcibly open up the meridians in the body?
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to open up their meridians on their own! If Lin Jiangnian relied on himself, it would probably take forever.
And now, all the meridians in the body were forcibly opened?
Only a master like Lin Hengzhong, who has unfathomable martial arts skills, has such ability!
"Thank you, Dad!"
Lin Jiangnian suppressed the joy in his heart and spoke.
The opening of his meridians would bring him all kinds of benefits. This also meant that Lin Jiangnian's speed in practicing the Xuanyang Heart Method would become even more terrifying.
Feeling the turmoil within him at this moment, Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath. He even felt that he was very close to the first level of Xuanyang...
"This is all Dad can do for you. The rest still depends on your own efforts. I hope you won't let Dad down!"
Lin Hengzhong looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of him, with a hint of doting in his eyes and a very gentle tone.
He looked like a completely loving father.
"I will follow my father's teachings!" Lin Jiangnian said with his head down.
Lin Heng nodded, and before he was about to leave, he remembered something.
"Jiang Nian?"
"Hmm?" Lin Jiangnian looked up.
But Lin Hengzhong suddenly glanced at the room behind him, paused, and spoke casually.
"The woman in your room is the assassin who killed Dad last night, right?"
“…”
By the way, let me explain that the love poison will be solved soon. All these plots will be written at the end of the first volume. There are probably only a few chapters left to finish the content of the first volume!
