Chapter 516: A Long Conversation

Under the eaves of the courtyard.

After Jinxiu told Lin Jiangnian that her princess had gone to see Prince Lin, she quickly found an excuse to run away.

She was a little afraid to stay alone with Lin Jiangnian now.

When the two were alone together, His Highness would always find ways to "bully" her.

Either verbally bully her, or physically bully her...

Jinxiu was not afraid of verbal bullying, but she was afraid that His Highness would physically bully her in public... just like the last time, he kissed her in broad daylight, and was seen by Xu Lan and his servant.

Jinxiu almost had no face to see anyone!

Jinxiu finally understood a truth... Never compete with men in shamelessness.

Especially a guy like His Highness the Crown Prince who was already so thick-skinned!

Jinxiu even suspected that with her current relationship with His Highness, it was possible that His Highness would do it with her in public one day...!

Thinking of this, Jinxiu's heart was burning, her legs were vaguely weak, and her face became redder.

So, just in case, she quickly found an excuse to run away!

She was going to settle accounts with An Ning... That girl was getting more and more abnormal, she actually thought about men!

This is a big problem!

She must be severely educated!

...

After Jinxiu left, only Lin Jiangnian was left in the yard.

The eldest princess went to see Prince Lin, and Lin Jiangnian was not surprised. He was the one who told Li Piaomiao about this matter. He was a little curious, what would Li Piaomiao say to Prince Lin?

What would Li Piaomiao, who usually has a cold personality, do when he sees Prince Lin?

While thinking, Lin Jiangnian came to the eaves, to the door of Li Piaomiao's room.

Then, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

The room was dark, and as soon as Lin Jiangnian stepped in, he felt that the temperature in the room was slightly lower than outside.

Sure enough, the eldest princess had a different physique.

As long as she lived in a place, it seemed to be lower than other places.

Summer is a place that does not need to escape the heat!

Feeling the slight coolness in the room and a faint fragrance, it comes from the breath of Li Piaomiao.

The breath is very light, weak and difficult to detect, but when you smell it, it is like a spring breeze, refreshing.

Very refreshing!

Lin Jiangnian approached the room and looked around. The furnishings were simple and plain, without any peculiarities.

On the table next to the screen, there was a long sword.

‘Silver Moon’

A magical weapon made by a swordsmith with his life’s efforts, and it was the same as the Qiushui in Lin Jiangnian’s hand.

However, Lin Jiangnian hadn’t seen this sword for some time. On the way from the capital to Linjiang City, he had never seen Li Piaomiao take it out.

Lin Jiangnian approached the screen and carefully observed the sword. The sword body was like the moon, as cold as the bright moon, and faintly filled with cold air.

When he touched it, he could feel the cold touch of the sword, which was a bit piercing.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were slightly strange. This magic weapon really follows its master, and even the sword is so cold?

"Swish!"

Lin Jiangnian held the hilt of the sword and pulled out the 'Silver Moon'. A dazzling cold light flashed across, instantly illuminating the room.

In just a moment, it disappeared again.

Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and felt a chill coming from the hilt of the sword, which quickly invaded his body along his palm.

At this moment, the cold air was pervasive, and the piercing cold almost made him unable to hold the sword, and almost let it slip out of his hand.

But then, Lin Jiangnian's inner strength was running, and a majestic and hot air flow spread from his body, instantly suppressing and swallowing the cold.

Then, the cold air completely dissipated!

'Silver Moon' was restored to its original state, the sword body was smooth and sharp, and it was bathed in a layer of brilliant light like a bright moon.

But the internal force in Lin Jiangnian's body did not stop for a long time. When he absorbed the sword intent contained in the sword body, his body seemed to have changed.

The internal force surged from his whole body, and the bottleneck that had been blocked for a long time seemed to hear a slight "click".

"Is it going to break through?!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes lit up slightly, closed his eyes, and concentrated on it seriously.

After a long time.

Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes again, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Almost!

Still a little bit!

Now he is only one opportunity away from the third-grade realm!

The Xuanyang Heart Method in his body has already entered the third level, and the internal force has accumulated thickly. Logically, he should have broken through and stepped into it long ago!

But until now, he is still a little away from the threshold of the third grade!

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, and he understood in his heart!

His strength can be improved so quickly, thanks to Li Piaomiao's help along the way. Absorbing the coldness in Li Piaomiao's body, his strength has improved rapidly.

Because of this, Lin Jiangnian lacked his own perception!

Lack of precipitation.

The third-grade realm of Taoism!

Taoism, Taoism, what is Taoism?

The improvement of strength can rely on the help of others, but if you want to truly step into the ranks of top masters, you need to walk your own way.

Find your own way!

With such thoughts, Lin Jiangnian slowly came back to his senses, he was not in a hurry.

It was also something he did not expect to be able to touch the threshold of the third-grade realm so quickly. Now, his strength improvement is already terrifying.

There is no need to be too anxious!

His eyes fell on this "Silver Moon" again. Lin Jiangnian held it in his hand and tried it. The sword is a good sword, but it is a little light and not very suitable for Lin Jiangnian.

It seems that when the swordsmith made these two swords, it was also intentional.

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Lin Jiangnian continued to look around the rest of the room.

After scanning a few times, his eyes fell behind the screen again.

Soon, Lin Jiangnian caught a glimpse of the bed behind the screen, and a dress that seemed to be hanging vaguely beside it.

After looking at it for a few more times, Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized something... Is his current behavior like a pervert?

Sneaking into a woman's boudoir, peeking at her boudoir, and peeking at her clothes?

Do you want to peek at her underwear later?

It's really a bit perverted!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows slightly!

But...

This is the boudoir of the eldest princess after all. How many people want to peek but don't have the chance?

Perverted, so be it...

Thinking wildly in his mind, Lin Jiangnian regained his mind. Turned around and prepared to leave the room.

However, just as he walked to the door, a breeze suddenly blew outside the door, and a faint fragrance floated.

Then, a figure in white appeared in his sight.

Li Piaomiao came back at some point and appeared under the eaves next to him, quietly watching Lin Jiangnian who was about to walk out of the door of the room.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Jiangnian paused.

Li Piaomiao seemed to be stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced around, and after confirming that everything was correct, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian again, staring at him.

His face looked normal, and he didn't say anything.

But at this moment, Lin Jiangnian was inexplicably guilty... He felt uneasy as if he had done something bad and was caught on the spot.

"Hey, you're back?"

Lin Jiangnian coughed and broke the silence.

His face remained unchanged.

Li Piaomiao slightly restrained his eyes, his expression was indifferent.

"Yeah."

"Did you go to see my father?"

"Yeah."

"How was the chat?"

"... Not bad."

Li Piaomiao's eyes seemed to flash with a trance, and his tone was still indifferent.

As for why Lin Jiangnian appeared in the eldest princess's room... Both of them tacitly did not mention this matter!

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

After another moment of silence, Lin Jiangnian broke the silence again.

Li Piaomiao looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes. For some reason, she seemed a little uneasy, and the whole person was in a weird state.

Lin Jiangnian noticed it, but didn't take it seriously. Instead, he stared into her eyes and spoke slowly.

"About what happened today... I need an explanation."

Li Piaomiao looked at him calmly.

"Okay."

"..."

The lights flickered in the room.

The two sat facing each other.

Li Piaomiao's tone was calm and calm.

Even more concise!

From her concise explanation, Lin Jiangnian knew what happened and confirmed his guess.

"So, Senior Li is your uncle, your father's younger brother?"

"You came all the way from the capital to the Lin Wang Mansion this time, are you asking him to come back to the capital to inherit the throne?"

"Your brother is going to die?!"

Lin Jiangnian's tone was obviously a little surprised.

Although I knew that Li Ci Ning was in poor health and might not last for a few years, this was too fast.

The new emperor had only been on the throne for less than half a year, and he was already in danger again?

Facing Lin Jiangnian's questioning, Li Piaomiao looked at him calmly: "You know the situation of my brother very well. He has no children. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But aren't you a little too idealistic?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "How can you guarantee that Senior Li will be willing to return to the capital? How can you guarantee that you can control Senior Li?"

"Your brother is still alive, and you can't wait to arrange his funeral... Aren't you afraid of causing a big mess?"

Li Piaomiao lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly: "This is what my brother wants."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

This is the first time he has seen someone who can't wait to find someone to succeed him while he is still alive.

This behavior is a bit stupid!

But from Li Ci Ning's point of view, it doesn't seem surprising?

Now the whole royal family is in turmoil. Except for Li Ci Ning, there is no one who can handle the task. They are all a bunch of idiots. If it were a peaceful era, they could barely find an emperor who is mediocre to protect the country.

But it is obvious that the current Daning Dynasty does not need a useless emperor!

From this point of view, it is understandable that Li Ci Ning chose his uncle.

"You have been hiding it from me!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help sighing, and was a little angry: "I trust you so much, but you use me like this?"

Li Piaomiao's eyes drooped slightly: "When did I use you?"

"You cheated on this prince!"

Lin Jiangnian said 'angrily': "You cheated on this prince's feelings!"

Li Piaomiao glanced at him, expressionless, and ignored him.

"Forget it, this prince is broad-minded, so I won't bother with you!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, he could understand Li Piaomiao.

If it were him, he would never tell such a thing to an outsider.

Especially an outsider who may become his biggest rival in the future!

Looking at the still beautiful but calm face in front of him, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "How was the talk with Senior Li? Did he agree?"

Li Piaomiao lowered his eyes slightly: "No."

"As expected."

Lin Jiangnian was not surprised by this result. Senior Li had been hiding his identity in Ruyi Tower for so many years, and it was obvious that he had no intention of interfering in worldly affairs.

Now it is difficult for Li Piaomiao to get him out of the mountain.

Lin Jiangnian asked again: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"have no idea."

Li Piaomiao looked calm, and there seemed to be a flash of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

In his mind, the words that the emperor's uncle had said before came to mind for no reason. There was no disturbance in her heart, but her expression became more and more dazed.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian in front of her, feeling a little uneasy.

"how?"

Seemingly seeing her complicated thoughts and emotions, Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised.

It is rare to see the eldest princess' mood change on weekdays. I didn't expect that mentioning this matter today would make her so uneasy?

When did she become so concerned about royal matters?

"Now there is probably only one way left in front of you."

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while and said, "What if your imperial brother really... dies and Mr. Li is unwilling to come out? The only person who can take over the dynasty is the one who just failed to rebel and was killed." Is the third prince imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum?"

To be fair, the third prince does have some ability, although not much!

But after a few laps, he was the only one who was a bit more reliable!

Li Piaomiao's eyes remained unchanged, without any fluctuation.

"However, this road will definitely not work!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and rejected the possibility of this path.

"The third prince has been deposed, and he hates you and me to the core. If we let him take over, we will all be doomed!"

"So, if your imperial brother really dies and no successor is found before he dies, he must be eliminated..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Li Cunning was soft-hearted and indecisive, and he still kept the third prince alive, which was always a disaster.

If Li Cunning died, Lin Jiangnian would have to get rid of the third prince in advance, no matter how big the risk he took.

As if she could read Lin Jiangnian's thoughts, Li Pianmiao glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "I will do it."

She understood what Lin Jiangnian meant!

If the emperor's body is really in an irreversible state and she fails to find a suitable successor, then...

She will take Li Yuan's life herself!

"Then I'll be relieved."

Lin Jiangnian nodded. Fortunately, Li Miaomiao had a brain. She was different from Li Cunning. She was very cold-blooded and would not show any mercy to her brothers...

This is called decisive killing!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian seemed to have thought of something and stared at Li Miaomiao's cold face for a while.

My heart suddenly moved slightly.

An idea suddenly came to mind.

"Then, there is actually another way to go..."

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down, thoughtfully.

Li Piaomiao frowned slightly and looked at him: "What?"

"Have you never thought about yourself?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "You also have the right to inherit the throne of the Emperor..."

"You haven't considered going on your own?"

Lin Jiangnian's words made Li Miaomiao, who was originally stunned, even more confused. She was obviously stunned for a while and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time before asking, "Do you think so too?"

"Of course, in my opinion, besides being a girl, you are definitely an excellent emperor... But having said that, being a girl is not a problem!"

"Who says that women cannot be emperors? There is no provision in the laws of the Daning Dynasty!"

As Lin Jiangnian was talking, he suddenly realized something: "Wait... what did you just say?"

"also?"

"…Who else feels the same way?"
