The cold wind blew all night long.
Early in the morning, when Lin Jiangnian woke up, he inexplicably felt sore and weak all over, and he had no strength to move.
This long-lost feeling of weakness made him unable to adapt for a while.
I haven't experienced this in a long time.
Ever since he started practicing martial arts more than half a year ago, especially after he learned the Xuanyang Heart Method and officially entered the ranks of internal martial arts masters, Lin Jiangnian rarely experienced this feeling of weakness.
The Xuan Yang Heart Method tempered his body, allowing Lin Jiangnian to maintain abundant energy almost all the time.
Today is the first time I feel so dizzy and weak!
Lying on the bed, Lin Jiangnian's mind was empty and his eyes were dazed.
What’s going on?
What happened last night?
He struggled to sit up and looked around, quickly determining where he was... in Zhiyuan's room.
Lin Jiangnian was all too familiar with this cool, quiet, simple, and slightly refreshing boudoir. The air was filled with the faint fragrance unique to Zhiyuan, mixed with an indescribable aura.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on his side and he saw that he was dressed neatly and the bedding around him was spread out cleanly and flatly.
But for some reason, I always feel like something is strange!
At this moment, some familiar and profound memories of last night suddenly and violently poured into his mind in a very rough and brutal manner.
Lin Jiangnian quickly recalled what happened last night...
He clearly remembered that last night, after returning from his aunt's place, he met Qingqing in the yard. After Lin Qingqing reported and left, Lin Jiangnian came to Zhiyuan's room to wait for her.
What's next?
When Zhiyuan came back, she looked a little strange. Lin Jiangnian forcibly carried her back to the room and put her on the bed...
And then what?
Lin Jiangnian tried hard to recall carefully and finally remembered what happened!
After carrying Zhiyuan to the bed and coaxing her into taking off her clothes, Lin Jiangnian was suddenly acupunctured by Zhiyuan and could not move.
And then... he passed out!
Yes, fainted!
All the memories after last night are gone!
What happened last night?!
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were dull. He vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness last night, he seemed to hear Zhiyuan say something... giving him a child?
so……
He was knocked unconscious by Zhiyuan last night, and Zhiyuan took advantage of his unconsciousness to... take possession of him?!
While he was unconscious, Zhiyuan did whatever it wanted to his young and strong body and invaded it wantonly?
Lin Jiangnian's mood was very complicated, like a woman whose innocence was forcibly taken away by a bully.
He quickly lifted the blanket and looked down. His clothes were neatly on and appeared to be in good working order. But Lin Jiangnian soon discovered they had been disturbed.
And more importantly, after Lin Jiangnian carefully checked, he soon found some residual evidence...which proved that something must have happened last night.
Kite must have done something to his body.
That's right, last night's kite had clearly come prepared. In the long night, she had plenty of time to retaliate harshly, just like she had done to Lin Jiangnian the other day...
After a while, Lin Jiangnian, who was sitting on the bed, sighed deeply!
What a humiliation!
The dignified Prince Lin was actually sat on by his own maid!
If this gets out, how can I live like this?!
If I don't get back at her, how can I maintain my authority in front of her in the future?
Doesn't that mean she will ride on me from now on?
Absolutely not!
After sitting on the bed and practicing the mental method for two rounds, the feeling of weakness subsided. Lin Jiangnian got up from the bed, put on his clothes, walked to the door, pushed it open and walked out.
As soon as I opened the door, a cold wind rushed in from outside.
Everything in the sight of the eyeliner is white!
Only then did Lin Jiangnian realize that it was snowing heavily again!
Last night at midnight, light snow began to fall from the sky, and in the second half of the night, the snow became heavier.
The eaves of the courtyard, the branches, and the ground were all covered with a thick layer of snow. The sky and the earth were all white. As the cold wind blew, snowflakes fell on the corridor.
Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered that it was already deep winter!
I remember when I first arrived in Beijing, winter had just begun. Now, the New Year is almost here! Lin Jiangnian stood under the eaves, watching the heavy snow fall in the yard. The world was freezing, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.
The yard was empty, with no one there.
"Where's Xiaozhu?"
Lin Jiangnian looked around and didn't see Xiaozhu, so he walked to the door of Xiaozhu's room.
Knock on the door!
No movement!
"Xiaozhu?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the closed door of the room, but no sound came from it.
Are you not here?
At this time, Xiaozhu is not in his room. Where did he go?
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled and was about to leave when a very soft voice came from the room.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Lin Jiangnian paused slightly: "Xiaozhu, are you in the room?"
"Um?"
"Then why don't you open the door?"
The room was silent for a moment, and then a slightly panicked voice was heard: "Your Highness... I, I haven't gotten up yet!"
Didn’t get up?
It shouldn't be!
Xiao Zhu has always been very diligent and wakes up very early every day. As a maid in the Prince Lin's mansion, she has no right to stay in bed.
On weekdays, Lin Jiangnian always wanted her to sleep a little longer, but Xiaozhu would still get up on time. What happened today?
"What’s wrong with you?"
"No, nothing..."
Xiao Zhu's voice was very soft and a little hoarse, as if she was out of breath and a little shy: "Your Highness, I haven't woken up yet. Wait, wait a moment, I'll come to see you later..."
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian nodded and said, "Okay, come find me after you get up!"
"oh."
“…”
In the room.
When Xiao Zhu heard the prince's footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, he curled up in the quilt on the bed and felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
That young face was full of blushing, and its whole body was wrapped in the quilt, with only a small head exposed. It was lying on the bed, and it was unknown what it was thinking about, with a red face.
Thinking of what happened last night, Xiao Zhu felt an indescribable sense of shame.
Especially when she thought about how Sister Zhiyuan had sternly warned her this morning not to tell anyone about what happened last night.
If Your Highness had come in just now, he would have definitely noticed it.
Your Highness is so smart, he will find out the truth as soon as he asks. Then, everything will be exposed!
As if recalling some scenes, Xiao Zhu's face turned red and hot, and he quickly buried his head in the quilt, acting like an ostrich.
Last night, Sister Zhiyuan actually asked her and His Highness to be in, in Sister Zhiyuan's room...
On Sister Kite’s bed!
It’s simply…
So exciting! ...
On the other side, Lin Jiangnian, who knew nothing about this, returned to the courtyard first, called the maid outside the courtyard, and asked about the whereabouts of the kite.
Last night, without Lin Jiangnian's consent, she knocked her own prince unconscious, and then had 'evil intentions'...
Lin Jiangnian was determined to teach this ignorant little maid a lesson.
However, Lin Jiangnian learned from the maid outside the courtyard that Zhiyuan had gone to her aunt's house early in the morning and had not returned since!
Obviously, Zhiyuan seemed to have anticipated Lin Jiangnian's purpose. She knew that Lin Jiangnian would definitely settle the score with her when he woke up the next day, so she simply escaped first!
This is indeed a smart move!
With his aunt around, Lin Jiangnian didn't dare act recklessly. Especially since his aunt preferred kites, Lin Jiangnian couldn't really take advantage of her.
but……
"Hey, little kite, ah little kite, you can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
He just didn't believe that Zhiyuan could hide at his aunt's place forever.
When she returns from her aunt, it will be time for Lin Jiangnian to seek revenge. He will have to settle all the humiliation he suffered last night with her...
…
Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking about it, a report from the servants of the Jiang Mansion came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Miss Zhao from the Zhao Mansion has arrived and wants to see you?"
"Zhao Xi?"
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. Before he went to find her, Zhao Xi couldn't wait to send someone over.
It seems that she had heard about what happened yesterday and guessed that it was Lin Jiangnian who did it.
But, could she not sit still so soon?
lobby.
Lin Jiangnian soon saw Xiaoyue, who was rushing over.
"Xiaoyue?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the little maidservant in front of him, who was dressed in thick clothes and had snowflakes on her body. Every time he went to the Zhao Mansion before, this little maidservant would lead the way for Lin Jiangnian, and he was deeply impressed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiaoyue saw Lin Jiangnian and bowed.
"No need to be polite!"
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and said, "Did your young lady send you here?"
Xiaoyue blushed slightly, lowered her head, and nodded: "Exactly!"
"What did your young lady send you here for?" Lin Jiangnian asked.
"My young lady asked me to ask Your Highness when he is free. My young lady wants to invite His Highness to come to her house for a gathering. She wants to see His Highness..."
As Xiaoyue spoke, her face flushed as she looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of her.
It looks so beautiful!
This prince is indeed handsome no matter how you look at him, and you never get tired of looking at him!
No wonder my young lady is obsessed with this prince. She just said she didn't want to see him, but now she suddenly wants to see him...
Could it be that my young lady has fallen in love with this prince?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiaoyue's face turned even redder...
"Meet your young lady?"
Lin Jiangnian understood what was going on and guessed Zhao Xi's intention, but he chuckled and said, "Didn't we just meet the day before yesterday? Does your young lady want to see me again?"
"I don't know either."
Xiaoyue shook her head. She had no idea what the young lady wanted to talk to Prince Lin about. She explained, "The young lady only asked me to come and inform His Highness, but didn't tell him the reason..."
Lin Jiang laughed and asked, "Since it's your daughter who wants to see me, shouldn't she take the initiative to visit me? Why does this prince have to go to her house in person?"
Xiaoyue blinked blankly, as if... it made sense?
Considering the status of the Crown Prince in front of him, the behavior of his young lady does seem a bit...unacceptable?
"Then, shall I go back and tell the young lady?"
"That's not necessary..."
Lin Jiangnian quickly waved his hands. He was just saying it casually. If Miss Zhao really came to visit, that would be a big problem.
Lin Jiangnian, who instinctively anticipated danger, naturally didn't want Miss Zhao to actually come to visit him, so he waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell your young lady that I will naturally come to visit you when I am free in the next two days. Tell your young lady to be prepared."
Ready?
Xiaoyue was at a loss. What preparations did the young lady need to make?
It's so weird, the way His Royal Highness the Prince Lin talks to his young lady is so strange!
However, Xiaoyue still nodded: "Then I will go back and report first!"
After Xiaoyue left, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.
He naturally knew the purpose of Miss Zhao sending Xiaoyue here today, which was to test and inquire.
The news that Chen Feiyang, the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, had been assassinated had spread throughout the capital after fermenting yesterday. When Zhao Xi received the news, he would definitely suspect Lin Jiangnian.
After all, Lin Jiangnian had just received information about the four guardians of the Secret Heaven Division from her the day before. And the next day, Chen Feiyang was assassinated. This was obviously not right.
Zhao Xi's purpose today was simply to confirm this matter. On the other hand, it was also naturally because of... Chen Feiyang!
The Zhao family had a friendship with the Xu family, the Minister of War who was exterminated. The remaining bloodline of the Xu family was rescued by Zhao Xi, but was wiped out by Chen Feiyang.
This grudge is huge!
This is a big favor!
Lin Jiangnian asked Zhao Xi to make preparations, naturally for this reason... How should Miss Zhao repay such a big favor?
While Lin Jiangnian was pondering, Lin Qingqing appeared outside the door and whispered, "Your Highness, the Gao family is here!"
"Gao family?"
Lin Jiangnian then remembered something: "Who did the Gao family send?"
"It's a steward from the Gao family, here to pick up His Highness!"
Lin Qingqing spoke, then hesitated: "Your Highness, do you really want to go?"
"Go, why not?"
"Could it be that he dares to hold a Hongmen Feast for me?"
Lin Jiang laughed young: "Let's go and see what this beastly Mr. Gao wants to do."
…
"Bang!"
Inside Mitiansi.
There was a sound of something falling.
"Waste, all waste!"
"It's been an entire night, and the murderer disappeared right before our noses, and we still haven't found Guardian Chen? What the hell are you doing?"
A cold voice came from behind Mi Tiansi.
In the front hall, several figures stood there, not daring to breathe.
Chen Changqing, dressed in a black robe, stood in the center of the crowd, with his head lowered and not saying a word.
That calm face seemed particularly indifferent!
That cold voice was still coming: "Check, keep checking!"
"We must find the murderer and find Chen Feiyang!"
"If anything happens to Guardian Chen, I won't forgive you!"
The cold voice hung over everyone's heart.
Just yesterday evening, the Mi Tiansi was attacked and dozens of Mi Tiansi masters were killed. Even the protector Chen is missing.
Most likely they have met with misfortune...
The Secret Service mobilized almost all available personnel to conduct a carpet search in the capital, but failed to find any clues.
How can this not make people shocked and angry?
Even the other three guardians who rarely appeared in public were forced to show up to take charge of the situation.
After the rest of the people in the hall left and continued to search for clues, Chen Changqing was left there with a calm look on his face, and was about to turn around and leave.
"etc!"
Chen Changqing stopped and looked up.
A deep voice came from the back of the hall.
"Chen Kuishou, I heard... you were at the scene of the attack last night?!"
“…”
There was a power outage and water outage, so I had a hard time writing this chapter. I’m not in a very good state, sorry!
