Chapter 430 Princess, I Have a Better Way to Cure the Disease

Cool.

Delicate as jade!

Like a fine work of art, with clear outlines, slender and long.

Holding it in the palm of your hand, it is like holding a fine painting, with smooth and elegant lines.

In other words... it feels great!

Tender and smooth!

...

Lin Jiangnian seemed stunned. He just had a sudden thought of testing, but he didn't expect that the princess actually... didn't refuse?

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the palms of their hands that were still tightly clasped.

The princess' skin was white, just like her cold personality. Her white skin was like the cold snow in winter, very dazzling. Her ten fingers were green, white and soft, with a little bit of bony feeling.

At this moment, the two of them held their palms tightly, as if they were worried that they would separate when they were passing on their skills and luck just now. The two of them intertwined their fingers, like a pair of lovers in love, very ambiguous.

Perhaps because they held it too tightly, the slight coldness in their palms gradually disappeared and gradually became warm.

Faintly, there seemed to be a trace of sweat on the palm of his hand.

Lin Jiangnian realized something and looked into Li Piaomiao's eyes. At this moment, Li Piaomiao was still sitting cross-legged on the carpet, looking up at him.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her black hair was slightly messy due to the sweat. Her originally cold expression was now filled with an indescribable beauty.

But her pair of cold and beautiful eyes were still clear, like stars without any emotion, just looking at Lin Jiangnian like this. There was no ripple in her clean eyes. She let Lin Jiangnian hold her hand, without struggling or resisting.

She didn't speak either.

This made the two look at each other for a while, and soon, Lin Jiangnian inexplicably felt a trace of...guilt!

"How are you?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke, trying to bring up the topic.

Li Piaomiao's eyes were cold, and he said, "It's okay!"

"That's good."

Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say something else, but he didn't know where to start. After a long silence, he brought up another topic.

"Prince, how is it?"

Li Piaomiao glanced at him, "Not bad."

"When is he going to announce the news of His Majesty's death and ascend the throne?"

Lin Jiangnian asked again.

Calculating the time, it should be about the same time. If we continue to cover it up, I'm afraid something will happen.

Of course, the most important question is... the emperor has been dead for many days!

If the death is not announced, the body will probably rot.

Li Piaomiao lowered her eyes slightly and said lightly, "Soon."

Speaking of this, she was silent for a moment, and then added, "In just a few days."

Lin Jiangnian sighed, "Then when can I leave the palace?"

Although the palace is good and the treatment is quite good, it is not my home after all! After being away from home for four or five days, the little maids at home should be waiting anxiously.

Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"Your brother, the crown prince, is not going to keep me under house arrest in the palace?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "He found such an excuse and took the opportunity to keep me under house arrest and not let me leave?"

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian calmly and said lightly: "He won't do such a stupid thing!"

No matter how stupid Li Ci Ning was, he would not do such a thing to keep the prince of Lin Wang under house arrest in the palace for no reason.

"Then I'm relieved!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled: "Please ask him when I can leave... I miss home!"

Li Piaomiao was silent and nodded.

Then, as if thinking of something, he raised his eyes: "When do you plan to return to Linjiang City?"

"Soon..."

Lin Jiangnian said that the affairs in the capital were almost dealt with, and it was time to go back. But he soon realized something: "Why are you asking this?"

"Don't forget what you promised me."

Li Piaomiao looked at him quietly and spoke coldly.

What did you promise her?

Lin Jiangnian quickly remembered that he had promised her something before...

"Go to Ruyi Tower?"

Li Piaomiao did not comment.

"Don't worry about that. This prince is not a person who does not keep his word."

Lin Jiangnian said: "Since I promised you, I will definitely not regret it... You can go to Ruyi Tower. This prince will have someone to greet you in advance!"

"...But when do you plan to go?"

Li Piaomiao's eyes were cold and she said: "Let's go in a few days."

The capital is at a critical moment and she can't get away. After the crown prince ascends the throne, the overall situation will be settled, and she will have the opportunity to withdraw and go to Linjiang City.

"Okay."

Lin Jiangnian nodded to show his understanding.

Li Piaomiao lowered his eyes slightly, and his cold eyes fell on the two people's still tightly clasped hands again.

After staring for a while, he suddenly said: "Have you held enough?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian quickly noticed where Li Piaomiao's eyes were staring and the meaning of her words...Have you held enough?

Obviously, the question was whether he had touched enough!

"Enough!"

Lin Jiangnian's expression remained unchanged.

Li Piaomiao raised her eyes, glanced at him, and said nothing. Her eyes were very calm, without any shyness that an ordinary woman should have.

There was no emotional fluctuation either... as if she was not the one who was taken advantage of.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt very unsuccessful!

It was like he had teased a decent woman, hoping to see her blushing and shyly shouting "hate it". Instead of looking at him expressionlessly like now... as if he was the one who was taken advantage of?

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then let go with a little reluctance. ...It was unsuccessful, but the touch was really good!

Lin Jiangnian's body has always been very honest!

When he let go, there was a little warmth and a touch of dampness in his palm, as if he had a layer of fragrant sweat due to nervousness.

Li Piaomiao retracted his hand, hid his bare hand under his sleeve, his face remained normal, and he slowly stood up.

He looked back at Lin Jiangnian on the ground: "Arrange someone to take you to rest?"

Lin Jiangnian, who was short of internal strength, was a little weak at the moment and urgently needed to rest and replenish his body.

"No need!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head, glanced at the night outside the window, and slowly got up from the ground: "It's getting late, I should go too."

Li Piaomiao did not keep him, but looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly and nodded.

Turned around, came to the door of the room and opened it.

Just as he was about to leave the room, he saw a sneaky figure under the eaves outside the room preparing to escape.

"Jinxiu."

Jinxiu's sneaky steps, which were about to run away, stopped where they were, her body suddenly stiffened, and then she turned stiffly, with a guilty look on her face: "Princess..."

"Send His Royal Highness back."

Li Piaomiao glanced at her coldly and said lightly.

"Ah? Oh!"

Hearing this, Jinxiu was relieved immediately.

Send His Royal Highness back?

It's over?

Thinking of this, Jinxiu couldn't help but glance at her own princess. After a glance, she quickly realized something... Wait!

Why is the princess' face a little red?

Jinxiu looked carefully and soon found that the princess' face was really red!

The redness on her fair skin that had not yet completely faded could not escape Jinxiu's eyes.

Very obvious!

Also, why is the princess sweating?

Is her hair still a little messy?

If Jinxiu didn't know martial arts, she would have noticed that the princess's breath was slightly unstable, as if she had just experienced some intense exercise...

But even so, the princess's reaction was still enough to shock Jinxiu!

...What were the princess and the prince doing in the room?

Why did the princess look like this when she came out?

It was clearly like...

Jinxiu quickly took a look at the princess's clothes, and her clothes were neatly put on inside out...

But...

Jinxiu slightly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian in the room with some shock. Soon, she found that the prince looked weak, with a slightly pale face, and his body seemed to be deficient...

Jinxiu: "???"

No matter how smart Jinxiu was, she was stunned!

The prince looked pale, weak, and drained, and her own princess with messy hair and flushed face... In an instant, a wonderful drama emerged in her mind.

Not suitable for children!

Jinxiu stood there in a daze, her face flushed, her eyes filled with shock.

It's over!

The princess is really going to become the prince's consort now!

...

On the way back.

Jinxiu followed the way she came and sent Lin Jiangnian back.

Along the way.

Jinxiu paused from time to time, and secretly looked at Lin Jiangnian behind her from time to time.

She wanted to say something but stopped.

Her face flushed, and her beautiful eyes were shy and mixed with excitement and curiosity.

Finally, she couldn't help but stop.

"Your Highness."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the clear and beautiful eyes in front of him, and the flame of gossip was burning at this moment.

"What?"

"Your Highness, what did you do in the room with my princess just now?"

Jinxiu asked directly.

She was too curious!

What exactly happened between your highness and the princess in the room?

Is it what she expected?

The prince has already given her princess to...

Thinking of this, Jinxiu felt an indescribable excitement.

When Lin Jiangnian noticed the change in Jinxiu's expression, he gradually realized something.

Looking at Jinxiu, who looked excited, he shook his head: "I didn't do anything."

"Impossible!"

Jinxiu naturally didn't believe it: "If she didn't do anything, why did my princess' face turn red?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while: "Maybe it's because of the heat."

Hot?

Jinxiu subconsciously glanced around. Although the sun was out today, winter had not completely passed... How could it be considered hot?

More importantly, the cultivation method practiced by her princess was extremely cold and cold, and her body was like ice all year round. Every summer, Jinxiu liked to get close to her princess, and even pestered her to sleep with her princess at night!

How could such a princess be hot?

Blushing because of the heat? !

Jinxiu naturally didn't believe it, and her face was full of doubt: "How could my princess be afraid of heat?!"

"I'm not talking about the hot weather!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said lightly.

It's not the hot weather?

Jinxiu was stunned, what else could it be hot?

Could it be...

Jinxiu opened her eyes wide in astonishment, and her face immediately turned red with shame.

"Okay, stop guessing!"

Lin Jiangnian knew that she must have thought of something improper when he saw her like this.

"Your princess and I are doing serious things!"

"What serious things do we need to do together behind closed doors?!"

Jinxiu naturally didn't believe it. How could she explain the red-faced princess and the prince who was so weak that he looked like he had just been squeezed dry?

"I was helping your princess heal her illness!"

"Healing an illness?"

Jinxiu was stunned when she heard this: "What's wrong with my princess?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Do you think your princess is a normal person?"

"My princess is naturally..."

Jinxiu was about to speak, but suddenly froze, looking up at Lin Jiangnian: "Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

"See, you also think your princess is not right, right?"

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands: "Your princess is so cold, is she a normal person?"

Jinxiu didn't say anything, she knew that her princess was not a normal person! The princess was born with a cold body, and after practicing the cold and yin skills, she became even colder.

Normal people are not like this!

Jinxiu looked up at Lin Jiangnian, as if she realized something: "You mean, my princess is sick?!"

"That's right!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Not a normal person, so cold, what else could it be but a disease?

Jinxiu's eyes were stunned: "What did His Highness mean by what he said just now... to treat my princess?"

"Literally!"

Jinxiu's heart suddenly jumped, "My princess... can you treat it?!"

"It's hard to say."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. At present, he only found that he could temporarily suppress the coldness in Li Piaomiao's body. But the effect was only two or three days, and the coldness in her body soon broke through and spread!

It's not clear whether it can be eradicated!

But according to the current situation, I can't help her "treat" every day, right?

Even if there is such an opportunity, Lin Jiangnian feels that his body can't hold it.

Weak!

Lin Jiangnian was about to say something, but he saw Jinxiu staring at him, and the eyes that were originally full of gossip and excitement were a little nervous at this moment.

Lin Jiangnian realized something: "You also know the situation of your princess?"

When mentioning this, Jinxiu's eyes flashed a gloomy look. He hesitated and nodded.

"The princess's health condition...is not good."

Since Lin Jiangnian is helping the princess with her illness, he should also know the princess's condition. Therefore, Jinxiu did not hide much.

"Not good?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. He had never heard Li Piaomiao mention this: "What's the matter?"

"Is her health condition very serious?"

"Well..."

Jinxiu was a little depressed and nodded: "The princess..."

After hesitating, she briefly told Lin Jiangnian about the princess's condition.

After listening, Lin Jiangnian was very surprised.

He knew that Li Piaomiao had a problem with her health, but he didn't expect it to be so serious?

Maybe she could lose her life at any time?

This cold is so strong?

Lin Jiangnian thought carefully and then vaguely found some clues.

That time in the secret room, he clearly felt that Li Piaomiao's whole body had been eroded by the cold. The situation was indeed very serious!

How could a normal person be so cold?

Lin Jiangnian didn't understand at the time, but now it seems that it was clearly a sign of being attacked by the cold and on the verge of death!

If Lin Jiangnian hadn't suddenly taken action, I'm afraid that the princess might not have survived in the secret room that day?

And it seems that the princess has never shown these things?

She has always been calm, so that Lin Jiangnian never thought that the situation was so serious.

Is this the price of being a genius?

Thinking about it, Lin Jiangnian suddenly thought that Li Piaomiao wanted to go to Ruyi Tower, maybe she wanted to find a way to survive?

"The princess's body had an accident a long time ago, but there was no way to stop it..."

Mentioning the princess's situation, Jinxiu was a little depressed and no longer as lively as before. She looked up at Lin Jiangnian with a little hope in her eyes: "You just said that you are helping the princess to heal?"

"Yes, is it useful?!"

Looking at Jinxiu's slightly uneasy eyes, Lin Jiangnian was silent and nodded.

"Yes!"

"Really?"

A gleam of excitement instantly emerged from Jinxiu's eyes!

Lin Jiangnian said: "For now, the coldness in your princess' body has been temporarily suppressed, and there should be no danger to her life for the time being..."

Hearing this news, Jinxiu's eyes lit up completely, and she couldn't help but asked excitedly: "Then, what about the future?"

"The future?"

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and shook his head: "The future, it's hard to say!"

He was afraid of being sucked to death!

...

Jingning Palace.

After sending the prince back, Jinxiu couldn't wait to return. Passing through the inner courtyard, she saw An Ning still standing under the eaves not far away.

"An Ning, where is the princess?!"

Jinxiu asked.

Under the eaves, the sword-holding girl glanced at Jinxiu, whose face was ruddy and excited, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She said expressionlessly: "The princess went to bathe and change clothes!"

"I'll go find the princess!"

Hearing this, Jinxiu hurried to the backyard.

Under the eaves, An Ning looked at Jinxiu's departing back, and the suspicion in her cold eyes became stronger.

After hesitating for a moment, he followed.

In the backyard.

"Princess!"

Jinxiu rushed into the room excitedly.

In the cold room.

Li Piaomiao, who had just taken a bath, was surrounded by a lingering aura, and the heat had not yet completely dissipated. Her fair skin was glowing red, and the whole person was even more cold and vivid.

Her black wet hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her cold face was a little less cold, giving people an indescribable feeling of excitement.

Two palace maids were standing respectfully behind the princess, wiping and combing her hair.

When Jinxiu rushed in, Li Piaomiao looked indifferent and drove away the two palace maids.

"Princess!!"

Jinxiu trotted into the room and came to her princess. She stared at her princess intently, and soon, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and more and more excited!

"Princess, your body... is really good, getting better?!"

His Royal Highness is right!

The coldness on the princess has indeed weakened a lot!

The princess in front of her is more like a normal person!

The princess has become normal? !

Thinking of this, Jinxiu was very excited.

Behind her, An Ning, who followed in, was also stunned when she heard this. She raised her eyes to look at her princess, and soon, her eyes were stunned!

Compared to Jinxiu, who didn't know martial arts, An Ning could more clearly perceive the state of her princess!

The coldness that used to linger around the princess dissipated, and she could even find that the coldness that used to erode the princess had become inexplicably docile.

However...

An Ning's eyes were slightly startled again. For some reason, she vaguely sensed a familiar breath from the princess from the prince of Lin?

What's going on? !

An Ning looked blankly.

Li Piaomiao looked at Jinxiu and An Ning in the room, her eyes were cold, and she nodded slightly: "I guess so."

After the coldness in her body was suppressed, her body did recover a lot.

The coldness dissipated, and she felt relaxed all over.

"Great!"

Jinxiu excitedly stepped forward and looked at her own princess, and it was hard to describe the excitement in her heart.

How long has it been since she saw the princess in a normal state? !

Realizing that the coldness in the princess' body has decreased, this means... the princess may be saved!

The problem that has been worrying for a long time, is there finally a solution? !

"So..."

Jinxiu excitedly said: "Your Highness, does he really have a way to save you, the princess?"

She had already learned about the situation from Lin Jiangnian, but she couldn't help but want to find the princess to confirm it again.

Behind her, An Ning was stunned when she heard this. As if she realized something, she glanced at her own princess.

As if she guessed something!

"Not sure!"

Li Piaomiao shook her head lightly.

She can only be sure now that the Xuanyang Heart Method practiced by Lin Jiangnian can suppress the coldness in her body. But it is not clear whether it can be eradicated.

For now, there is no answer.

…

Jinxiu was excited for a long time after learning that the princess's condition had really improved. After the excitement and joy gradually subsided, she began to analyze and ponder the situation.

"Princess, do you mean that His Royal Highness can use up his own internal strength to suppress the coldness in your body? Is there any way to go a step further..."

Jinxiu made a possible suggestion: "If the princess practices the Xuanyang Heart Method herself, is it possible to completely eliminate the coldness in your body?"

Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes were cold, and after a while, she shook her head gently.

It's not that she hadn't thought about this possibility, but it was difficult to implement it!

Not to mention that the Xuanyang Heart Method is a unique skill passed down by the Lin family, and she has no chance to learn it, unless...

Besides, the Xuanyang Heart Method, as the most rigid and yang heart method in the world, is not suitable for women to practice.

What's more, this heart method is also mutually reinforcing and counteracting with the heart method she is learning now. Once she really learns it, she will definitely encounter the backlash of the heart method!

The degree of danger can be seen.

Jinxiu felt a little regretful.

She finally found a way to save the princess, but she couldn't completely eradicate the coldness in her body, which made her a little regretful.

However, Jinxiu didn't give up. At least for now, the fact that His Royal Highness could help his princess prolong her life was the biggest surprise!

As for whether it could be cured...

Jinxiu was thinking, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind.

"Princess, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can help you suppress the coldness in your body by transferring qi. I suddenly thought of a better, more convenient and faster way..."

"Maybe, there is a chance to cure the princess's coldness!"

Li Piaomiao raised her eyes slightly, and her cold eyes fell on her: "Hmm?"

"I read some folk novels a few days ago, which wrote some stories about ghosts, monsters and gods. One of them mentioned a method of curing diseases..."

Jinxiu spoke excitedly and shared the little-known knowledge she had learned with the princess: "It says that there is a very powerful method that can make the internal forces in your body and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly blend with each other, harmonize yin and yang, and take effect faster and better..."

"It seems to be called... double cultivation?"

"Princess, do you know what double cultivation is?"

"Hmm? Princess, why don't you speak?"

"..."

"..."

When they returned to the palace, it was still early.

Lin Qingqing had been waiting at the door for a long time. Lin Jiangnian returned to the palace and had just taken a breath when several figures appeared outside the door.

The leader was the commander of the imperial guards who had sent Lin Jiangnian and the others that day.

"Your Highness."

The commander of the imperial guards stood in front of Lin Jiangnian, with a respectful look: "Your Highness invites you!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing's expression froze and she was a little nervous. But Lin Jiangnian looked calm. Prince, are you finally going to see him?

"Lead the way."

Lin Jiangnian turned around and gave Lin Qingqing a look, then followed the commander of the imperial guards and left.

And Lin Qingqing then hurried to the backyard, intending to tell Sister Zhiyuan the news.

...

In the deep palace, there was a murderous atmosphere.

Inside and outside the palace, there were imperial guards in full armor everywhere. Even in the dark around, there were many masters' auras hidden.

Lin Jiangnian stepped into the palace, his eyes were normal.

As if after the assassination, the guards around the prince almost never left.

It's normal to think about it!

Now the emperor has passed away, and Li Ci Ning has not yet ascended the throne. If he has any accident at this time, the Daning Dynasty may really be in chaos!

Deep in the palace.

In front of the screen, Li Ci Ning, dressed in a white robe, was sitting quietly at the table, waiting for Lin Jiangnian.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the prince seemed to be paler, and his body still looked very weak.

Thin, very unhealthy!

It seems that he has been too busy recently, with a little fatigue between his eyebrows, but his eyes are still bright.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

Lin Jiangnian walked into the palace and bowed.

When the prince saw Lin Jiangnian, a hearty smile appeared on his pale face.

"Brother-in-law, don't be polite!"

Listen, how intimate is this?

How passionate?

But Lin Jiangnian remembered very clearly that the matter of the Xu family was done by the prince in front of him.

This prince is also a good hand at calculating people!

Lin Jiangnian's face remained normal, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Brother-in-law, come and sit down, and have a drink with me?"

The prince invited warmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I don't drink!"

"I don't either, so let's drink tea!"

The prince waved his hand, and a palace maid came forward to add a seat for Lin Jiangnian, and then poured hot tea. After the prince waved his hand to signal them to leave, the prince and Lin Jiangnian were left in the hall.

But Lin Jiangnian could vaguely feel that there were still a few strong auras in the hall. He remained calm and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Putting down the teacup, he saw Li Ci Ning looking at him with a gentle smile: "Is my brother-in-law okay these days? Is he happy living here?"

"I have wronged my brother-in-law these days!"

"Your Highness, that's not true. I have had good food, drink and sleep these days, and I have the company of the palace maids arranged by Your Highness. I am so happy."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile.

"It's good that my brother-in-law is not wronged!"

Hearing this, Li Ci Ning laughed twice, and then sighed softly: "Brother-in-law, don't blame me. I have to keep my brother-in-law in the palace!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I understand!"

As for whether he really understands or not, it is unknown.

Li Ci Ning sighed: "I was busy a few days ago and didn't have time to see my brother-in-law. Now I am almost busy. I finally have a chance to have a good talk with my brother-in-law..."

Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent and analyzed the meaning of the prince's words.

I am almost busy?

Does it mean...

When he met Li Ci Ning's eyes, as expected, the prince chuckled: "If my brother-in-law wants to leave, I will send someone to send you back tomorrow!"

"Of course, if my brother-in-law wants to stay in the palace, I am also welcome."

Sure enough!

Lin Jiangnian understood something and said: "I would like to stay in the palace for a while, but there are still important things to deal with at home... I miss home after being away for a few days!"

Li Ci Ning nodded, showing his understanding: "In that case, I will send someone to send my brother-in-law out of the palace tomorrow morning?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"..."

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Li Ci Ning put down the teacup in his hand and sighed. The smile on his face faded slightly: "Brother-in-law, I guess you must have guessed what I want to do, right?"

Lin Jiangnian did not deny: "Your Highness, are you going to announce the news of His Majesty's death?"

Li Ci Ning said in a deep voice: "My father passed away, I am unfilial and cannot be the first to mourn, now it is time for my father to rest in peace!"

Lin Jiangnian said: "Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

"I have expected the result a long time ago, but I don't feel much sadness!"

Li Ci Ning shook his head gently and glanced at Lin Jiangnian: "Am I a little cold-blooded?"

Lin Jiangnian said: "Your Highness is the crown prince and the future emperor. Everything should be based on state affairs. There is nothing wrong with your Highness's actions."

Li Ci Ning glanced at him: "I know you are perfunctory to me!"

"I didn't."

"..."

Li Ci Ning looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, and smiled: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I don't know."

Li Ci Ning sighed: "I always thought that I had the confidence to solve everything. If I sat in my father's position, I would definitely be better than my father!"

"I never understood my father before, and thought that my father's thoughts were too complicated..."

"But now, after my father's death, I suddenly realized that I am still far from my father..."

"The more power I have, the more powerless I feel..."

At this point, Li Ci Ning suddenly changed his tone: "Brother-in-law, do you know what my father said to me before he died?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't speak.

Li Ci Ning slowly said: "My father told me to beware of your Lin family!"

"My father said that your Lin family is the biggest threat to my Daning Dynasty!"

At this point, Li Ci Ning stopped and stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly.

Lin Jiangnian also looked at him, looking into his eyes.

After a moment, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Your Highness, are you saying this because you think that my Lin family will definitely be detrimental to the dynasty in the future?"

"I believe in my brother-in-law."

Li Qining looked at Lin Jiangnian and said, "My brother-in-law has no intention of rebelling!"

"Then your highness doesn't believe in my father?"

"Prince Lin is a meritorious official of our Great Ning Dynasty. He has laid a vast territory for the dynasty. I naturally believe in Prince Lin!"

Li Ci Ning spoke slowly. He looked at Lin Jiangnian and said in a deep voice: "But, brother-in-law should know what I want to say, right?"

Lin Jiangnian said, "Your Highness is worried about Prince Lin's army?"

"That's right!"

Li Ci Ning said in a deep voice: "I believe in Prince Lin and my brother-in-law, but I can't believe the hundreds of thousands of Prince Lin's army entrenched in the south of the dynasty!"

"The hundreds of thousands of Prince Lin's army are all confidants of your Lin family army. They even only obey your Lin family and don't know the emperor of the dynasty. They have almost become your Lin family's private army... How can you not worry about this?!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched in the south are a great threat to the dynasty. Any king would not be able to sleep at night!

More importantly...

"Brother-in-law, are you confident that you can control Prince Lin's army in the future?"

Li Ci Ning stared into his eyes: "What if there is a rebellion in Prince Lin's army in the future, brother-in-law?"

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

It was really hard for him to answer this question!

He, the prince of Lin, was just a status now. He had no prestige in the Lin army. If Lin Hengzhong died in the future, and Lin Jiangnian inherited the throne as the Lin king, it was hard to say whether he could control the army.

At that time, many things might not be decided by Lin Jiangnian!

"Then, what does your highness mean?"

Lin Jiangnian said, "I hope the Lin family will hand over the military power?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Ci Ning did not speak.

But the meaning was already very clear!

"I can't do it."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed, "I don't have any power in my hands and can't decide these things."

Li Ci Ning restrained his gaze and said in a deep voice, "I know that your Lin family will never hand over the military power."

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

Handing over the military power is equivalent to committing suicide!

"But, the hundreds of thousands of troops of your Lin family must be reduced!"

Li Ci Ning said in a deep voice: "The war in the south has been decided, and the power of the descendants of those small countries in southern Xinjiang is not to be feared. The troops of your Lin family army must be reduced..."

"The court will not abandon the donkey after it has done its work, but it will never sit idly by..."

"Otherwise, I can't give the court an explanation!"

It is a very reasonable request.

But Lin Jiangnian still shook his head lightly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, Your Highness should talk to Prince Lin!"

"Prince Lin will not enter the capital!"

Li Ci Ning said: "I hope my brother-in-law can tell Prince Lin what I said tonight..."

He looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly: "After my father's death, I will ascend the throne. But tonight, I am not the emperor yet, I hope to have a good and frank talk with my brother-in-law..."

"Since the first time I met my brother-in-law, I have admired him very much... No matter what, Prince Lin has done a favor to the dynasty, and I don't want to really go to the point of fighting!"

Li Ci Ning has said it very bluntly!

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Lin Wang army pose too great a threat to the court. The court will definitely not sit idly by! Once things really reach an irreversible point, they will inevitably meet in battle.

At that time, the world will surely be in chaos!

After a long silence, Lin Jiangnian said: "I don't hope that day will come..."

"I will tell you about these things later!"

At this point, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the prince with deep eyes in front of him and chuckled: "But I still say the same thing!"

"I will always be a minister of the Daning Dynasty. This will never change!"

"..."

Looking at each other, as if they understood something.

Li Ci Ning's face showed a smile: "I believe in my brother-in-law!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for believing!"

The two smiled at each other, as if the dull atmosphere just now was swept away and they were back to being happy again.

Lin Jiangnian probably guessed the purpose of the prince!

He not only wanted to sit down and have a good talk with the Lin family tonight, but also reminded Lin Jiangnian that if the conflict between the court and the Lin family could not be resolved. At that time, the Lin family would become the biggest thorn in the court's side!

It was a kind reminder!

After the two of them spoke frankly, the atmosphere eased a lot.

And Lin Jiangnian also learned from Li Qining that during the days when he was under house arrest in the palace, the prince in front of him had cleared all obstacles.

After discovering that his father had passed away in the secret room, the prince quickly took action. On the one hand, he secretly mobilized troops outside the city to enter the capital, and at the same time summoned his trusted ministers to the palace for discussion, and on the other hand, he built momentum among the people!

In addition, the case of the third prince eliminated many of the prince's dissidents in the palace. Now, most of the officials in the court have already belonged to the prince in front of him!

Then, it's about time!

...

That night!

Suddenly, an astonishing news came out in the palace-the emperor passed away!

As soon as the news came out, the originally quiet night was instantly boiling!

It also caught many people off guard!

Even though many people had already guessed it, after all, the emperor had been in seclusion for more than half a year and had never appeared. Some people even suspected that the emperor was harmed by Chen Yangou!

The exact news coming from the palace now still shocked countless people!

The emperor, really passed away?

…

The emperor passed away, the capital was under curfew, and the whole city mourned!

For a time, the capital was boiling and people were panicking!

At the same time, a sad atmosphere enveloped the capital.

Although Emperor Ning rarely appeared in the public eye in his later years, he still made great achievements when he was young. Therefore, many people still miss the achievements of this emperor!

Overnight, the news spread rapidly from the capital to the dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Ning died, and the news that the crown prince Li Ci Ning, who was the crown prince, followed the dynasty's succession system, ascended the throne and became the emperor, and inherited the throne, also came from the palace!

Announce to the world!

Everything is going on in an orderly manner!

...

Early morning.

A ray of setting sun slowly fell outside the capital.

At the gate of the capital.

A corpse and a striking head were hung at the gate of the city, despised by the people.

The corpse had been hung for a few days, and it seemed to have gradually become smelly, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

But the people passing by would still cover their noses and approach, spit viciously, and curse this evil eunuch!

Good death!

Wonderful death, very gratifying!

At a tea stall outside the capital, a figure covered in a black robe was standing there quietly, looking up at the gate of the capital in the distance.

Under the bronze hideous mask, a pair of deep eyes showed no emotion. After a few glances, he retracted his gaze.

The next second, the figure disappeared from the spot.

…

In the capital.

The Celestial God Cult is hidden in an inn base in the west of the city.

Liu Su, wearing a red dress, was sitting in the yard, her eyes and thoughts were unknown.

Until then.

"Who?!"

Liu Su turned around suddenly, looking at the corner of the yard with a vigilant look.

The next second, when she saw the black-robed figure appearing in the corner of the yard, a look of astonishment and horror flashed across her eyes.

"Cult, leader?!"

The look of horror flashed by, and Liu Su quickly hid and returned to normal.

"Master, why are you here?"

The master of the Heavenly God Cult, dressed in a black robe, slowly approached, and his voice under the bronze mask was hoarse and cold: "Where are the things!"

Liu Su turned around: "Ling'er!"

Ling'er, who was under the eaves, hurried back to her room and took something out of the room: "Master!"

It was a stack of rice paper!

On the rice paper was the formula of the Xuanyang Heart Method!

The master of the Heavenly God Cult waved his sleeves, took the rice paper in his hand, and flipped through it for a few seconds.

Nodded expressionlessly.

Then, his eyes fell on Liu Su, looked at her twice, and said hoarsely: "The situation has changed!"

"There is something I need you to do!"

"..."
