Lin Jiangnian naturally didn't expect that Zhao Xi would be so bold as to take off all her clothes so that he could see clearly.
But when Lin Jiangnian heard Miss Zhao, who was beautiful and elegant, say such "big-scale" words out of anger, his eyes were still slightly moved.
It's no wonder that Miss Zhao has a voluptuous and graceful figure, a slender waist and hips, a round and full chest, and skin as white as cream.
What would it look like if I wasn't wearing any clothes?
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but think of the snow-white body he had seen in the bathtub a few days ago.
Even though it was just a glimpse!
But the memory is even more so!
...Having a good memory is really useful!
Even after a few days, I still remember the details and key points clearly.
"what's on your mind?!"
An embarrassed and angry voice came to his ears, pulling Lin Jiangnian back to his senses. He lowered his eyes and saw Zhao Xi staring at him from the swing, eyes slightly alert.
She saw something inappropriate in Lin Jiangnian's eyes...
Is this guy fantasizing about something?!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi inexplicably felt his body getting hot, and a strange feeling came over him.
"nothing."
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze and saw that Miss Zhao was gritting her teeth. He changed the subject subtly: "It's getting late. If there is nothing else, I will not disturb Miss Zhao's leisure. Farewell!"
He'd stopped by to express his gratitude to Zhao Xi in person. Now that he'd thanked her, Miss Zhao was once again stingy, wrapping herself up tightly. Feeling bored, Lin Jiangnian prepared to leave.
When Zhao Xi suddenly heard that Lin Jiangnian was leaving, he spoke subconsciously.
"Are you leaving now?"
Lin Jiangnian paused slightly: "Miss Zhao, is there anything else?"
Seeing his calm expression and his calm demeanor as he prepared to leave, Zhao Xi suddenly felt unhappy for some reason.
A few days ago, while showering, I accidentally let this guy see me naked. Then, for some reason, I let him touch me...
Therefore, she wrapped herself tightly today just to be on guard against Lin Jiangnian.
This guy is not as serious as he appears to be.
He looks gentle and polite, but in fact he is a hypocritical and a completely audacious... pervert!
She dressed like this because she was worried that the guy would touch her again today.
But what Zhao Xi didn't expect was that she seemed to have "misunderstood" the Prince of Lin?
It seemed like he really just came to express his gratitude to her?
After expressing my gratitude, I planned to leave.
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a bit strange. Seeing this guy leave so calmly, without even a hint of nostalgia, Zhao Xi felt a strange sense of unease.
"Why, Your Highness, are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Zhao Xi stared at him, gritting her teeth. "Your Highness, do you dislike me so much? You won't stay a moment longer?"
"Of course not."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed, "I'm just worried about disturbing Miss Zhao's leisure time."
"You've interrupted!"
Zhao Xi said quietly, "You have to take responsibility."
"Responsible?"
Lin Jiangnian looked into Zhao Xi's resentful eyes. Is this responsibility she talked about serious?
Still has a meaning...
Lin Jiangnian's expression remained calm as he spoke, "Since I have disturbed Miss Zhao's pleasure, I, the prince, would like to apologize to her."
"No more?"
"What else does Miss Zhao want from this prince?"
"There's no sincerity at all."
Zhao Xi snorted softly and glanced at him. As if she had thought of something, her beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke, "You've disturbed my pleasure. If you want to apologize, can you at least show some sincerity?"
"What sincerity does Miss Zhao hope this prince will show?"
"Come here!"
Zhao Xi hooked his finger at him.
Lin Jiangnian showed some hesitation on his face: "Miss Zhao, this... is not good, right?"
Zhao Xi was puzzled. What was wrong? While he was lost in thought, he quickly noticed something from the expression on Lin Jiangnian's face...
"What are you thinking?!"
Zhao Xi said angrily, "I asked you to come over and help me push the swing... You've disturbed my enjoyment. Is this little request of mine not too much?"
Just pushing the swing?
Lin Jiangnian blinked.
"Miss Zhao is overthinking. This prince is not overthinking."
"So are you going to push it or not?"
Lin Jiangnian wanted to refuse. He was the prince of Lin Wang, and if he pushed a woman on a swing, how could it be a disgrace if it got out?
But just as he was about to refuse, Lin Jiangnian thought of something, thought about it, and chuckled.
"Since it is Miss Zhao's request, this prince will naturally satisfy it."
Lin Jiangnian walked slowly to Zhao Xi's side. Zhao Xi leaned on the swing, slightly tilted his head and glanced at him.
Just as Lin Jiangnian's hand touched the swing rope, Zhao Xi's voice came: "Be gentle..."
"Don't throw me out."
She knew that Lin Jiangnian was quite skilled in martial arts and was worried that he would throw her away with all his strength.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao. I will be gentle and will never hurt you."
Zhao Xi: “???”
Lin Jiangnian put his hand on the swing and gently applied force, causing Zhao Xi, who was sitting on the swing, to sway back and forth.
As the swing's arc grew wider, Zhao Xi's loose black hair fluttered in the wind, occasionally slapping Lin Jiangnian's body. He caught a whiff of a fragrant scent, a mix of rouge and the woman's natural scent, a delightful and refreshing experience.
Glancing sideways, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful and pretty face with a faint smile on its face, elegant and stunning.
It is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.
I have to admit that Miss Zhao in front of me has few rivals in the world in terms of appearance and temperament.
Despite her noble status as the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao, she also had a somewhat coquettish temperament, and her every move was captivating.
The leaves above the head made a rustling sound, mixed with the woman's silver bell-like laughter.
After an unknown amount of time, the swing gradually slowed down. Zhao Xi on the swing glanced sideways, and a hint of red appeared on her fair face.
"Is Miss Zhao satisfied?"
"It's okay."
Zhao Xi seemed to be in a better mood, looking at him with a smile: "I am flattered to have the dignified Prince Lin push the swing for me... Does this count as a great honor for me?"
"Miss Zhao, you are too kind."
"Really?"
Zhao Xi looked him up and down, and said with a half-smile, "Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
Lin Jiangnian blinked: "Why would Miss Zhao think so?"
Zhao Xi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "When have you, Prince Lin, ever suffered any loss? You look honest, but you're actually very cunning..."
"Before, when I wanted you to help me, you kept making excuses. Today, when I asked you to help me push the swing, you agreed so readily..."
“There’s probably something wrong!”
Zhao Xi saw through him at a glance.
Lin Jiangnian was silent, then sighed: "Miss Zhao is really smart..."
"Stop flattering me!"
Zhao Xi glanced at him and said, "Tell me about it."
"It's not a big deal."
Since Zhao Xi saw through him, Lin Jiangnian didn't keep it a secret any longer. He really needed Zhao Xi's help with something.
"I hope Miss Zhao can help me check a few people."
"Who are you checking?"
"The four guardians of Mi Tiansi."
Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said, "Miss Zhao shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?"
Zhao Xi was slightly startled, his eyes puzzled. "Why do you want to investigate them?"
Lin Jiangnian said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Miss Zhao wants me to assassinate Chen Zhao, so shouldn't I first investigate the people around Chen Zhao?"
"These four guardians are the confidants that Chen Zhao has placed in the Secret Heaven Division, right?"
Zhao Xi hated Chen Zhao to the core. The four guardians of the Mi Tiansi were Chen Zhao's confidants, so she naturally knew it.
Asking her for help is the most efficient.
"That's right."
Zhao Xi nodded slightly. The four guardians of the Secret Heaven Division held immense power, even surpassing the chieftain. They were all trusted confidants of Chen the Eunuch, who controlled the Secret Heaven Division. They were undoubted lackeys of the Eunuch Party.
only……
"What does your assassination of Chen Zhao have to do with the investigation of those four guardians?"
Zhao Xi looked suspicious.
Obviously, she is not that easy to fool.
It is true that knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is right, but to assassinate Chen Zhao, you have to enter the palace. What does that have to do with the four guardians outside the palace?
"Of course it's related."
Lin Jiangnian wanted to continue making up lies, but he saw Zhao Xi staring at him with a smile on her face, clearly seeing through his thoughts.
So, Lin Jiangnian didn't bother to make up a story: "Miss Zhao, just tell me if you can help me or not?"
The corners of Zhao Xi's mouth curled up slightly, a smile flashing in her eyes: "If Your Highness is telling the truth, I am naturally willing to help."
"What if I don't tell you?"
Zhao Xi sighed softly, "Then I'll just have to find out for myself."
“…”
Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, while Zhao Xi turned his head to look outside the yard on the other side.
The next second, a shadow flashed from outside the yard and appeared silently in the corner of the yard, standing there respectfully.
"Go get the information from the Secret Heaven Division about the four guardians."
"yes."
The afterimage in the corner disappeared silently again.
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhao Xi and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Zhao..."
"Don't give me that."
Before Lin Jiangnian could finish, Zhao Xi interrupted him and said with a half-smile, "I'm not helping you for nothing... I helped you, so you have to help me too."
"Of course." Lin Jiangnian nodded.
Lin Jiangnian knew very well that Zhao Xi would not help him for no reason. The purpose of all he did was to get Lin Jiangnian to help her kill Chen Zhao.
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian agreed, Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction.
"How is it? Is there any news from His Majesty?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Not yet."
Zhao Xi frowned slightly: "Why hasn't His Majesty found you yet?"
Every day Lin Jiangnian does not enter the palace, the plan to assassinate Chen Zhao will be delayed for one more day.
For Zhao Xi, she doesn't want to see such a situation.
"Perhaps Your Majesty is busy with government affairs?" Lin Jiangnian said.
Zhao Xi glanced at this guy. Busy with government affairs?
Everyone knows that His Majesty has not been taking care of state affairs for a long time, so how can he be so busy with government affairs?
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we need to think of another way."
"Another way?"
"Since His Majesty has yet to summon you, shall I think of a way to get you into the palace someday?"
Lin Jiangnian hesitated: "Will this work?"
"certainly."
"I am the son of a vassal prince. Without a summons from His Majesty, how can you allow me to enter the palace legitimately without arousing anyone's suspicion?"
"Of course."
Zhao Xi thought about it and gradually formed a plan in her mind: "I will find a way to let you enter the palace legitimately. You take the opportunity to get close to him, and then..."
Speaking of this, a rare hint of sharpness and murderous intent flashed in Zhao Xi's eyes.
"I'll try my best."
Lin Jiangnian nodded.
Since he had agreed, he would naturally try his best. As for whether he would succeed or not, he could not guarantee it.
"Thanks."
Zhao Xi didn't know what he was thinking of, his eyes softened, and he spoke softly.
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Verbal thanks are unnecessary."
The tender feeling that rose in her heart was instantly interrupted by Lin Jiangnian's tactless behavior. Zhao Xi glared at him dimly.
"Then how do you want to thank me?"
Lin Jiangnian said nothing, but his gaze shifted slightly downwards from Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi understood instantly, her pretty face flushing. "You, you're so vulgar..."
Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and said innocently, "Miss Zhao, what do you mean by that? This prince didn't say anything."
Zhao Xi said angrily: "Your eyes have said it all!"
“Unfair!”
"Oh!"
Zhao Xi sneered. Seeing Lin Jiangnian feigning innocence, he felt inexplicably angry. But at the same time, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
She stared at Lin Jiangnian with her beautiful eyes for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, "If you can really get rid of him, I, I... will let you touch me, okay?"
"Just touching?"
Zhao Xi was furious: "What else do you want?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Miss Zhao has misunderstood. This prince doesn't want anything to happen."
Zhao Xi: "Then just tell me whether you will touch it or not?!"
"This prince is a gentleman..."
"Well, if you don't want to touch it, forget it."
"Well... Actually, this prince can be ungentlemanly sometimes."
“…”
In the cold courtyard.
The cold wind blew gently, and the stream flowed silently across the courtyard. Under the towering green trees, two figures looked at each other.
There was a long silence.
After a while.
"If Piaomiao knew that you, the Prince of Lin, were so hypocritical and despicable, she would stab you to death with a sword!"
"The princess is not that kind of person."
"Oh, you're wrong. She's just that kind of person... She can't tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in her eyes. If you marry her in the future, I guarantee that all the female confidantes around you will suffer and fall victim to her murderous hands."
“…”
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian remained silent, Zhao Xi seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
"Why?"
"Don't you need a reason to be afraid?"
"certainly."
Zhao Xi sneered softly, "She's better at martial arts than you, and in terms of intelligence... you might not even be able to match her. Besides, she has a bad temper, and she's the eldest princess of the dynasty, so her status is no lower than yours. If she were to marry you, why wouldn't you be afraid?"
Lin Jiangnian said, "Isn't it okay if I don't marry her?"
Zhao Xi was slightly startled, staring at Lin Jiangnian, and asked suspiciously, "You don't plan to marry her?"
Lin Jiangnian did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you think I should marry her?"
"It shouldn't be."
"Why?"
"You're such a pervert, you're not worthy of Piao Miao!"
Zhao Xi seemed to have already determined Lin Jiangnian's character.
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
"You are slandering me."
"What? Am I wrong?" Zhao Xi glanced at him.
"This prince is upright and honest, is he a gentleman?"
"That wasn't the case the last time you touched my legs."
"Isn't that what you asked me to touch, Miss Zhao?"
"Just because I let you touch me?"
"You've given in, why don't you touch it?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said with emotion: "This prince has always been so helpful."
Zhao Xi: “…”
“…”
After obtaining information about the four guardians of the Secret Heaven Division, Lin Jiangnian left the Zhao Mansion.
He left in a hurry, and felt a little regretful.
This Miss Zhao's temper seems to be much worse than before.
Also inexplicably moody.
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh. He still liked the Miss Zhao from their first meeting. She spoke softly and her attitude towards him was gentle and warm.
More importantly...
Wear less.
There are legs to see.
And look at Miss Zhao's attitude towards him now... It's true that the best thing about people is when they first get to know each other.
Hypocritical and passionate, fresh and romantic.
However, although Miss Zhao's attitude was not very good, she was still very reliable in doing things. Lin Jiangnian quickly obtained detailed intelligence information about the four protectors of the Secret Heaven Division.
As expected, everyone related to Chen Zhao was under investigation and surveillance by Miss Zhao.
Looking down at the information in his hand, Lin Jiangnian pondered for a long time with a calm look.
It's time to take action.
…
The other side.
After Lin Jiangnian left, Zhao Xi was still sitting on the swing in the yard.
His face was slightly red and he looked slightly annoyed.
She lowered her head and stared at her legs wrapped tightly under her skirt, wondering what she was thinking.
"Is it really that nice to touch?"
She seemed to be talking to herself, and after a while, a hint of shyness suddenly appeared on her face.
"I'm afraid he doesn't just want to touch it, right?"
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shame and annoyance, and she said angrily, "He is indeed a lecher, a vulgar and dissolute prince..."
But thinking this, Zhao Xi's thoughts drifted elsewhere.
"Although he's a lecher and a filthy bastard, he doesn't seem to be planning to do anything like 'forcing someone to do something' or 'forcing someone to have sex'..."
"If I don't let him touch it, he really won't touch it..."
"Quite... principled?"
Zhao Xi's face flushed with embarrassment, but her almond-shaped eyes became brighter. She seemed to be thinking about something and lightly bit her teeth.
This guy is really interesting...
…
The other side.
Lin Jiangnian had no idea that in Miss Zhao's eyes, he had become a 'principled' scoundrel. If he had known, he would have definitely found an opportunity to let Miss Zhao know that he wasn't so principled after all...
After leaving Zhao's Mansion, Lin Jiangnian returned to Jiang's Mansion, found Lin Qingqing, and asked her to arrange some things.
When Lin Jiangnian entered the capital from Linjiang City, he was escorted by three hundred of the Crown Prince's personal troops. After the battle outside the city, many were killed and wounded, and the losses were heavy. Now, after repairs, there are still about two hundred people left.
These are all the people Lin Jiangnian can use in Beijing.
These people were scattered throughout the capital, secretly investigating and sniffing out the movements of various forces in the capital.
In addition, there are many forces in Beijing that Lin Hengzhong deployed in the early years, which are mainly responsible for providing intelligence clues.
Of course, there were also some officials and ministers in the capital that Lin Hengzhong had planted. However, due to the huge influence of the current court in reducing the power of the vassal states, and the fact that Lin Hengzhong had made too many enemies in the capital, Lin Jiangnian did not rush to meet these officials and ministers after entering the capital.
They were placed in the court of Beijing by Lin Hengzhong as chess pieces, and they would surely play a great role one day.
After giving Qingqing instructions, Lin Jiangnian turned around and prepared to go back to the inner courtyard to find Zhiyuan, but another servant came to report.
"Your Highness, the girl from yesterday came to see you again."
"yesterday?"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned, but quickly remembered who it was.
…
In the front hall, as soon as Lin Jiangnian walked into the front hall, he saw Jinxiu, who was wearing a brocade long dress, standing under the eaves, waiting quietly.
She was clearly just a maidservant beside the eldest princess, but even as she stood there quietly, she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
She doesn't look like a maid at all.
"Miss Jinxiu?"
Lin Jiangnian approached, his brows slightly raised, and said with a half-smile, "I had been thinking of picking up Miss Jinxiu in a couple of days, but I didn't expect Miss Jinxiu to be so impatient to move in with me, my prince?"
When Jinxiu saw Lin Jiangnian, she immediately remembered what happened yesterday. Her pretty face flushed slightly and she said with a soft puff, "Your Highness is talking nonsense. You actually deceived me yesterday."
"cheat?"
Lin Jiangnian laughed and said, "How could this prince have lied? Didn't your princess say that she would give you to this prince as a reward?"
"Nonsense... My princess even said she wanted to ask this servant for her own opinion."
"What? Your princess has already agreed, so you still don't want to listen to her?"
"this……"
Jinxiu looked a little embarrassed and anxious, and she naturally listened to the princess.
cocoa……
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly trying to change the subject and make unreasonable demands.
Realizing this, Jinxiu rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "Hmph, I can't argue with Your Highness, so I won't argue with you anymore..."
After saying that, Jinxiu took another deep breath and curled her lips: "I came to see Your Highness today because I have something important to tell you."
"What's the important matter?"
Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Highness, I would like to see His Highness, the Crown Prince."
“…”
Please give me a monthly ticket! ! ! !
