Chapter 503 The Disturbed Princess

After teasing Jinxiu, Lin Jiangnian went to see the eldest princess again.

The eldest princess was not in the room. When Lin Jiangnian found her, she was enjoying the cool weather in the backyard and enjoying the scenery.

In the evening, before it gets dark, the horizon in the distance is dyed red with sunset glow, which spreads over most of the sky.

The two standing peaks seemed to cut off the entire sky. The setting sun shrouded the sky and the earth, and also shrouded Prince Lin's Mansion entrenched under the mountains.

Looking from a distance, it's so spectacular.

Li Miaomiao, dressed in plain white clothes, stood quietly in the backyard. The close-fitting plain white dress wrapped her figure and outlined her graceful curves, which seemed to be cast in a holy light under the setting sun.

Wearing a gauze gown, she wrapped her otherwise unremarkable body. Her black hair hung down and swayed gently in the wind, leaving Lin Jiangnian with a beautiful back that made people endlessly daydream.

Before Lin Jiangnian got closer, he could smell the faint fragrance coming from Li Miaomiao in the air, which seemed to make people feel refreshed and clear-sighted.

Li Miaomiao also noticed the footsteps behind her, turned around, and looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

"doing what?"

Lin Jiangnian approached and asked casually.

Li Piaomiao remained silent and did not answer his question.

Turning around again, looking at the sunset and mountain peaks in the distance ahead.

Lin Jiangnian stood side by side with her. There was a bit of moisture in the air. He turned to look at the beautiful and cold face in front of him.

"How about it? Prince Lin's Mansion isn't any worse than your palace, right?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke again, with a relaxed tone.

"good."

Li Piaomiao's answer was concise and to the point.

Then, she turned to look at Lin Jiangnian: "When are you going to Ruyi Tower?"

"There's no rush yet."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "We just arrived at the palace, let's have a good night's rest first. Since we're already here, there's no rush."

After hearing this, Li Miaomiao was silent for a while, looking at Lin Jiangnian quietly without saying a word.

"What, are you in a hurry?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows.

"fine."

Her voice was neither cold nor cold.

"That's good."

Li Piaomiao didn't speak again and looked at him expressionlessly.

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, was in a happy mood.

What is the purpose of Li Miaomiao going to Ruyi Tower?

He didn't know.

I asked last time, but Li Miaomiao didn't tell Lin Jiangnian her true intentions.

What is certain is that Li Miaomiao does not simply want to go to Ruyi Building to pick up a few things. She must have some other purpose.

However, since she didn't want to say it, Lin Jiangnian didn't force it.

But when to go to Ruyi Building, it depends on his mood...

Not everyone can enter this Ruyi Building!

Li Pianmiao obviously saw through Lin Jiangnian's thoughts, stared at him quietly, and said expressionlessly: "This is what you promised me."

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

Lin Jiangnian gave her a reassuring look: "I promise you to go, and I will never break my promise."

"Don't worry."

"..."

Li Piaomiao looked away and stopped looking at Lin Jiangnian.

The cold temperament seemed to be even colder.

Lin Jiangnian, who was standing next to her, seemed to notice a cold air gradually spreading around him...

Is she in a mood?

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at her, but Li Pianmiao turned a blind eye.

"Actually, even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed a little bit..."

Lin Jiangnian said: "However, before going to Ruyi Tower, you have one more important thing to do."

Speaking of this, Lin Jiangnian looked at Li Miaomiao's always cold face and chuckled, "The majestic princess has traveled thousands of miles to come to my palace..."

"When I come to the palace, it can be said that I am full of brilliance..."

"speak English."

Li Piaomiao interrupted Lin Jiangnian with an expressionless expression.

"My dad wants to see you."

Lin Jiangnian's words are concise and concise.

Li Miaomiao, who originally looked cold, was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Jiangnian. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "How is your prince's health?"

"Fortunately, he's not dead yet."

"..."

"good."

After another long silence, Li Miaomiao nodded.

The voice was neither cold nor cold.

Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes, trying to see something on her face.

But soon, I gave up again.

"Tonight, I need..."

After a while, Lin Jiangnian spoke again: "Can I help you?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes slowly followed the white-clad figure of Li Miaomiao beside him, landing on the plain white catkins hidden under her sleeves.

It seems like I haven’t touched it in a few days?

Li Miaomiao didn't seem to notice Lin Jiangnian's reaction and said calmly: "No need tonight."

"That's okay..."

Lin Jiangnian was a little regretful. He really wanted to stay with Li Piaomiao and suck her for a while.

Lin Jiangnian can feel that his current strength and cultivation have reached a bottleneck period, and there is still a slight chance of opportunity.

Staying next to Li Miaomiao and using the cold energy of her mind can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and you may not know when you will be able to break through.

But since she refused, Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything more.

"Then I'll go back first?"

"Um."

Lin Jiangnian turned and left.

Li Miaomiao still stood there, thinking something on her cold face, looking dazed and a little uneasy.

So much so that when Jinxiu appeared behind her, she didn't seem to notice it.

"Princess?"

Jinxiu spoke tentatively, looking at her princess's absent-minded look, Jinxiu felt a little strange and a little worried.

I rarely see my princess react like this on weekdays.

What happened?

"Princess, what's wrong with you?!"

Li Piaomiao came back to her senses, glanced at Jinxiu who looked a little worried, and shook her head gently: "Nothing."

Then, Li Piaomiao said, "I'm going out for a while."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No."

Li Piaomiao shook her head gently, "You and An Ning stay in the Linwang Mansion."

"I obey your order."

"..."

After Li Piaomiao left, Jinxiu stood there, thinking.

What happened to the princess?

The princess's reaction just now was a little strange, as if she was uneasy, and a little bit like... nervous?

But when has my princess ever been nervous?

What else in the world can make my princess uneasy?

Could it be... related to His Highness?

Jinxiu made up her mind that when His Highness came to find her later, she must find His Highness and "interrogate him"!

...

On the other side, after Lin Jiangnian left the courtyard. Soon, Lin Qingqing also returned to the mansion.

"Your Highness, I have captured Chen Junru."

Lin Qingqing was exhausted and reported the situation to Lin Jiangnian.

"No accidents?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"Everything went well."

It took some effort to capture Chen Junru. The other party wanted to resist and refused to obey.

However, after being slapped down by Lin Qingqing, he cooperated obediently.

"I have investigated this matter roughly, but..."

Lin Qingqing frowned slightly, "It's a bit tricky."

Then, Lin Qingqing told the whole story of the investigation.

In fact, it was not difficult to investigate. This matter caused quite a stir among the people a few days ago, and there were many people who knew about it.

But the information Lin Qingqing found was not quite the same as what the old woman said.

"The old woman's son is called Sun Yuan, a casual worker, and he does have a pretty wife. He is honest and has an average family background, but..."

"Yu Zhifu is right. He often hangs out in some casinos in the city. Many people know that he is a gambler..."

Listening to Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly.

From Lin Qingqing's investigation, this guy named Sun Yuan was indeed beaten to death. The whole story is not much different from what Yu Feng said.

This guy named Sun Yuan lost a lot of money in the casino some time ago and signed a gambling contract to lose his wife. The next day, he regretted it and went to the casino to make trouble again, but was beaten and thrown out.

Sun Xian was not convinced and wanted to report to the government, but the government ignored him. After that, he had a conflict with the people who returned to the casino. A younger brother of the casino was a little heavy-handed and beat him severely. He died within two days...

All this is almost the same as what Yu Feng said.

"So, it was the old woman who blocked the road who was lying and making trouble?"

"I don't know, but... I think something is fishy."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Qingqing said: "The truth I found is indeed not much different from what Yu Feng said, but there are some doubts..."

"That Sun Yuan is indeed a gambler, but he is very filial, and he and his wife love each other on weekdays. He doesn't seem like someone who would sell his wife..."

"Furthermore, the government concluded that Sun Yuan was beaten to death in a conflict with the people in the casino, but my investigation found that some witnesses said that the people they saw that day were not dressed like people in the casino..."

"After Sun Yuan's death, Sun Yuan's wife seemed to be missing, and no one knew where she went..."

"Also, when I arrested Chen Junru, he acted extremely panicked, as if his crime had been exposed... I think there is definitely something wrong with him."

Lin Jiangnian did not agree with all of Lin Qingqing's analysis.

You can't believe a single word of a gambler.

It is even more unbelievable that a gambler would have so-called filial piety and kindness. It is not surprising that a gambler would do anything after losing everything.

However, the reason behind what Lin Qingqing said was indeed a bit suspicious.

"Continue to investigate this matter, investigate the casino, and all the people involved, and check them all."

This matter is very serious. For Lin Jiangnian, who has now returned to Linjiang City, it is a good opportunity to gather the hearts of the people.

"Also, protect that old woman, be careful of someone silencing her."

"Yes."

Lin Qingqing nodded respectfully, and then thought of something: "Your Highness, how should we deal with Chen Junru?"

"Lock him up for a night, and try to pry him open to see if we can get anything out of him."

Lin Qingqing hesitated: "Your Highness, the Chen family is not small..."

"The Chen family is one of the largest families in Linjiang City. The reason why the prince was able to gain a foothold in Linjiang City was closely related to the Chen family..."

"Chen Junru's father has some friendship with the prince. Your Highness's arrest of his son this time may cause dissatisfaction in the Chen family..."

"No problem!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't take it to heart, and said lightly: "Do it as soon as possible, as for the Chen family..."

"Don't worry about it."

Hearing His Highness say this, although Lin Qingqing didn't know what His Highness had to do, he still nodded.

"I obey your command."

After Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian looked outside the courtyard in front of him, half-closed his eyes.

When the Linwang Mansion was able to gain a foothold in Linjiang City, it was indeed thanks to the help of the Chen family.

The Chen family had considerable influence in Linzhou and had close contacts with many families. It was considered a very powerful family in this lineage.

The Chen family and the Lin Wang Mansion were just using each other. With the help of the Lin Wang Mansion's name and power, the Chen family has been growing stronger in Linjiang City over the years, and their ambitions have also grown.

Especially when Lin Hengzhong was assassinated and the Lin Wang Mansion was leaderless, during this period of time, the Chen family was not very peaceful in Linjiang City...

It's time to knock them down!

...

Linjiang City, Chen family.

"Master, it's not good!"

A servant hurried into the yard with a panicked face: "The young master has been arrested!"

In the hall of the courtyard, a middle-aged man heard the news and frowned immediately, and anger surged: "What's going on, what did that prodigal do outside again?!"

When Chen Hongsheng heard that his son was arrested, the first thing he thought of was...that rebellious son is causing trouble outside again!

The trouble caused by the rebellious son some time ago was just settled, and he was locked up for half a month. He was just released and he went to cause trouble again?

He should break his legs!

Chen Hongsheng's face was gloomy, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Who took him away?"

"Yes, it was the Lin Wang Mansion..."

The servant stuttered.

When he heard the Lin Wang Mansion, Chen Hongsheng's eyes suddenly condensed: "What's going on?!"

"Why did the people in the Lin Wang Mansion arrest him?!"

Chen Hongsheng's face changed slightly.

"Yes, it was the Lin Wang Shizi, he, he arrested the young master..."

The servant hurriedly stuttered and told what happened today. After listening, Chen Hongsheng frowned and his face was gloomy.

I was careless!

I didn't expect that the old woman would stop the Lin Wang Shizi's car in public, and I didn't expect that the Lin Wang Shizi would actually care about this matter?

For a moment, Chen Hongsheng had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He was an insider of this matter, and he was the one who sent people to solve it. This has just been resolved and settled, but now it is brought up again. What if the Prince of Lin really wants to investigate to the end...

Thinking of this, Chen Hongsheng showed anger: "It's all caused by that rebellious son!"

The servant beside him was terrified: "Master, now that the young master has been captured by them, what should we do?"

What to do?

Chen Hongsheng's face was gloomy.

Under normal circumstances, the Prince of Lin's Mansion would never care about such a small matter.

But now that the Prince of Lin has appeared, Chen Hongsheng has to pay attention to it. The reputation of that prince has long been spread throughout Linjiang City. Today, he dared to capture Chen Junru, obviously not taking the Chen family seriously at all.

"Send someone to the Prince of Lin's Mansion first, negotiate, and rescue the rebellious son first!"

Chen Hongsheng said with a gloomy face.

"..."

Night fell.

In the Prince of Lin's Mansion, it was very lively.

After the return of His Royal Highness, the palace, which used to be deserted and quiet, became active again, and the lights were bright. The haze that had shrouded everyone's heart these days because the prince was seriously injured and unconscious after being assassinated was also dispelled.

The return of Prince Lin was like a stabilizing force, which made everyone feel relieved.

After dinner, Lin Jiangnian returned to his room with the help of the maids in the mansion. He once again rejected the two little maids' suggestion to take the initiative to sleep with him, and the two little maids left the yard reluctantly.

Not long after, Lin Jiangnian walked out of the room again, and under the cover of the night, he came to another small courtyard next door with ease.

The small courtyard was cold and dark, with only a few rooms not far away with lights on.

Lin Jiangnian approached lightly, came to the door of a room, and knocked on the door.

Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Close the door and lock it.

Turning his head, he looked at the dim light in the room, and saw a shy and beautiful face reflected by the table, staring at him with a slightly red face.

"It's so late, what are you doing here, Your Highness?!"

The tone seemed to be forced to be calm.

Lin Jiangnian walked to Jinxiu's side, hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear as Jinxiu struggled softly.

"Love."
