"Will I die?!"
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Xi's face immediately showed a bit of astonishment, and he was very surprised: "What's going on? Is the prince's condition so serious?"
As the eldest princess's good sister, Zhao Xi naturally knew about the prince's affairs long ago.
A few months ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. It took him a long time to recuperate before he gradually recovered.
Although this news was blocked early on, it still spread in a small circle in Beijing, causing panic among many officials.
When the crown prince was critically ill at first, Zhao Xi was also very worried. Later, when she learned that the crown prince's condition had improved and he was gradually recovering, she was relieved.
The prince suddenly fell ill. The reason behind this is naturally not simple, incredible, and thought-provoking.
Zhao Xi had originally thought the Crown Prince had improved, after all, Li Piaomiao hadn't mentioned him in a while. Unexpectedly, today, he suddenly heard from the Princess that the Crown Prince... might die?!
This news scared Zhao Xi.
As the crown prince is the heir to the throne, if something happens to him, it will be a big problem!
"Didn't his health improve a while ago? How could it be..."
Li Piaomiao shook his head: "The prince has been weak since childhood. Although he has recovered from this serious illness, the root of the disease has been left behind and his foundation has been damaged..."
Zhao Xi's heart sank.
This is not good news.
Damaged the foundation? !
At this critical moment, if something happened to the Crown Prince, the court would be in chaos. If the court was in chaos, her father and even the entire Zhao family would be implicated.
Although the Zhao family did not take a clear side, Zhao Xi knew very well that her father supported the prince. As the prime minister of the dynasty, her father was loyal to the court and had a good relationship with the prince.
If something happens to the prince...
Zhao Xi took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious: "How is the Crown Prince doing now?"
This news is very important and she must find out as soon as possible.
Li Piaomiao said calmly: "There's nothing wrong at the moment, but my health is getting worse!"
She could sense that every time she saw the Crown Prince, his complexion would deteriorate. The palace physician had also mentioned that the Crown Prince was very weak and any medicine was of little use.
The imperial doctors were also helpless!
Even these top doctors in the world are helpless, which is enough to show that the prince's health condition is very serious.
"So, what should we do now?"
Zhao Xi glanced at her.
She understood Li Piaomiao's feelings best. The eldest princess had a cold personality and had never been close to anyone since childhood. Growing up in the sword art, she had always had a very limited understanding of family affection.
In addition, she was born in the royal family, and the royal emperor's concept of family affection was weak. This also led to her having almost no knowledge of these things since she was a child.
But Zhao Xi also knew that the eldest princess wasn't completely devoid of emotion. Despite her cold personality, she occasionally displayed normal human emotions. It's just that she simply didn't know how to express them.
If she really didn't have any feelings, Zhao Xi wouldn't be friends with her!
As the eldest princess's older brother, the Crown Prince had taken good care of his younger sister since she was a child. He was one of the few people in the entire palace that the eldest princess cared about.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble, although she has not expressed any worry, she has been busy running around for some time, looking for famous doctors for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and has also been trying to find ways to reduce the impact of the Crown Prince's serious illness on the court.
Li Piaomiao was silent for a long time: "I plan to go to Ruyi Tower!"
"Ruyi Tower?"
Zhao Xi was slightly startled, then quickly reacted: "Is there a way to cure the prince in Ruyi Tower?"
"have no idea."
Li Piaomiao shook his head: "We have to try."
Zhao Xi looked quietly at the eldest princess in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart.
She was right. The palace was indifferent to the prince's health. Apart from the palace, perhaps only Ruyi Tower had a glimmer of hope.
However, this glimmer of hope is very weak...
"When do you plan to go?" Zhao Xi asked.
"After the New Year."
Li Piaomiao's eyes were cold, and the New Year would be here in a few days.
After the New Year, it’s almost time to set off.
Zhao Xi seemed to think of something and was slightly startled: "Are you planning to look for him?"
Li Piaomiao nodded.
"Will he agree?"
Zhao Xi asked.
Not everyone can enter Ruyi Tower. Even if you are a princess, it is impossible to enter without the consent of the Lin family.
"have no idea."
Li Piaomiao's answer was still very straightforward.
"That……"
Zhao Xi couldn't help but ask, "What if he doesn't agree?"
Don't agree?
A trace of confusion flashed across Li Piaomiao's cold and beautiful eyes.
Don't agree?
She hadn't thought about that.
Even if he doesn't agree, she will try, even if it's...
Just then, there was a sound of the door being pushed open, and Lin Jiangnian walked in from outside.
"Hey, are you all still here?"
After wandering around outside for a while, the bored Lin Jiangnian returned to his room and saw Li Piaomiao and Zhao Xi still sitting at the table. Seeing their solemn expressions, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned.
What's going on?
He had just left for a while, why did both of them look so serious?
What happened?
Could it be...
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously looked at Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi had a serious expression on his face, thinking about what to do next if something really happened to the prince.
Lin Jiangnian's appearance disrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Lin Jiangnian's slightly cautious gaze falling on her.
For a moment, Zhao Xi seemed to think of something and looked angry.
How did he react?
Guilty?
Now you feel guilty?!
What were you doing so early?!
Zhao Xi immediately glared at him fiercely, gritting his teeth.
...You flirted with her, and you still have the nerve to come back?
Lin Jiangnian simply ignored Zhao Xi's fierce look and looked at Li Piaomiao beside him. He saw that she was staring at him with cold eyes as if she had something on her mind, and she said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jiangnian inexplicably felt that the eldest princess's eyes were a little strange... something was wrong!
"What happened?"
Li Piaomiao was silent for a long time, then looked up at him and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled and turned his head to glance at Zhao Xi beside him, hoping to get some reminder from her.
But Zhao Xi had a cold face and glared at him fiercely.
You know what, it’s kind of cute!
Li Piaomiao, who had been looking at Lin Jiangnian quietly, frowned slightly and was about to speak.
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was a dull bang at the door, and then the door was kicked open.
"Lin Jiangnian? Get out here right here!"
At the door, a loud, cursing voice came.
Lin Jiangnian turned around, and at the same time, Li Piaomiao and Zhao Xi also raised their eyes and looked towards the door.
Several figures appeared at the door.
These figures were surrounding the door, blocking off the corridor outside, and looking into the room.
The person who spoke was a young man of about the same age as Lin Jiangnian. He was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes and had a distinguished temperament. At first glance, he was obviously the son of a eunuch from a prominent family in the capital.
At this moment, this person was standing in front of everyone, striding into the room and shouting into the room. His face was slightly red and he looked drunk, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol.
"Who are you?!"
Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly and looked at the person in front of him.
It looks unfamiliar, I've never seen it before.
"Are you Lin Jiangnian?!"
The young man burped and looked at Lin Jiangnian with contempt: "Nothing more than this?"
Just as he was about to say something else, this person's eyes fell on Li Piaomiao and Zhao Xi who were sitting at the table not far away. He just glanced at them and suddenly his eyes became dull and his expression was astonished.
There is such a stunning beauty?!
Just one glance made him unable to look away and his breathing became rapid.
Such a stunning beauty was actually taken over by the Prince of Lin?
He took over two of them by himself?!
What a waste!
He deserves to die!
Not only him, but even the people watching at the door, their eyes widened when they saw Li Piaomiao and Zhao Xi in the room!
This bastard Prince Lin actually hid here alone and had a tryst with two beauties at the same time?!
What the hell does he have the right to do that?!
Many people had originally just come to watch and join in the fun, but now they suddenly hated this bastard prince to the core and were extremely jealous...
The eldest princess and Zhao Xi rarely appear in public on weekdays. Although they have considerable reputation in the capital, very few people have seen them.
Of course, there were also a few people who looked at the two women in the room and noticed their extraordinary temperament. For some reason, the more they looked, the more familiar they looked...
"Bang!"
Just when everyone's eyes were about to be unable to move away, a muffled sound suddenly came from the room.
Immediately afterwards, the dandy young man who broke into the room suddenly fell to his knees, hugging his thigh and screaming.
This scene immediately brought everyone back to their senses and they gasped.
Lin Jiangnian glanced back and saw that Li Piaomiao's eyes were still cold and indifferent. Her bare hands rested on the edge of the table, her green fingertips tapping on the surface.
"You, you dare to hit me?!"
The dandy was lying on the ground, holding his legs and wailing in pain, staring at Lin Jiangnian in front of him with resentment.
"You, do you know who I am?"
"oh?"
Lin Jiangnian laughed: "Who are you? Are you from a powerful family?!"
The dandy lying on the ground was about to reveal his identity in anger, but the next second his expression froze again.
Although he was drunk, he wasn't completely unconscious. His father did have some status in the court, but the man in front of him... he was the Prince of Lin!
Compare your background with his?
Isn't this asking for trouble?!
In an instant, the expression on this playboy's face suddenly became extremely aggrieved.
"I, I... who do you care who I am?!"
"You hit my brother today, and you dared to hit me again. You must give an explanation today!"
"Your brother?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, glanced at the crowd at the door, and laughed: "Who is your brother?"
At the door, behind the crowd, Jiang Shaoan, feeling as if he was being stared at, immediately shrank his neck and quickly hid himself further behind the crowd.
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze, his expression amused: "Do you want an explanation?"
“That’s right!”
"Okay, then I'll give you an explanation!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded.
When the dude heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted.
You agree now?
This Prince Lin looks like a coward. Isn't he easy to bully?
Just as this playboy was about to accept Lin Jiangnian's apology and was thinking about how to brag in front of everyone about how he made the Prince of Lin bow his head and apologize to him.
Lin Jiangnian appeared in front of the dandy, squatted down, and gave him a harmless smile.
Next second!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two loud slaps echoed in the room.
Two red slap marks instantly appeared on the face of this ignorant dandy. His face was swollen and he screamed, almost fainting on the spot.
He rolled on the ground, wailing in pain.
Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent and clapped his hands: "Are you satisfied with the explanation I gave you?"
At the door, there was silence.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
I never thought that this Prince Lin would start a fight right away?!
Even though he's the Prince of Lin, this is the capital, and he's resorting to violence over a disagreement...isn't he really afraid of offending everyone?!
Many people were shocked and angry, while others were extremely relieved!
Fortunately, I didn’t think about stepping forward and being the first to do so, otherwise they would be the ones getting beaten now!
“You, you…”
Lin Jiangnian's two slaps nearly knocked the dandy on the ground unconscious. The intense pain on his face made his head buzz. By the time he came to his senses, a ferocious and vicious look appeared on his face.
"You, you dare to hit me?!"
"So what if I hit you?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at him quietly, his eyes slightly cold. "You've trespassed into my private place, and committed insubordination... Believe it or not, even if I kill you, your father will have to come and apologize to me personally."
The cold voice, mixed with a hint of indifference, made the dandy tremble all over, his face showing fear, his eyes widened, and he couldn't utter a single word of the words stuck in his throat.
He, he doesn't want to believe it!
But, I can't help but believe it!
After all, the person in front of him is the Prince of Lin!
His father is Lin Hengzhong!
I don't know if his father would apologize if he killed me, but...
He really might die in vain!
Just this one offense of insubordination is enough to deserve his death!
Thinking of this, he trembled all over and subconsciously looked towards the door.
"Eighth, Eighth Prince..."
His voice trembled, filled with a hint of deep fear. Obviously, he was frightened by Lin Jiangnian's momentum and words.
"waste!"
At this moment, a cold snort came from outside the door!
Immediately afterwards, a young man in a brocade robe appeared at the door with a gloomy expression.
It’s the Eighth Prince!
The Eighth Prince had originally intended to have his men cause trouble for Lin Jiangnian, so he could watch the show from the back, wait until the situation was more or less settled before appearing on the scene to give the Prince of Lin a good lesson... How did they say that? The real big shots always appeared last.
But the Eighth Prince never expected that the person he sent out would be such a loser! After all, he was the son of an official from one of the six ministries, but he was so useless as to be frightened by the words of the Prince of Lin?
What a waste!
In this case, the Eighth Prince had to show up in person!
The Eighth Prince appeared at the doorway and immediately spotted Lin Jiangnian squatting on the ground. After taking a look at him, the Eighth Prince sneered, put his hands behind his back, and said arrogantly, "Prince Lin?!"
"You openly hit my people, shouldn't you give me an explanation?!"
"Or do you also want to kill this prince and then make my father apologize to you?"
The Eighth Prince spoke in an arrogant tone, with a sneer on his face and an aggressive tone.
Prince Lin?
A little prince is, after all, just a dog of his Li family!
What can I do in front of him, the prince?
The Eighth Prince looked arrogant and sneered as he spoke, glancing at the room from the corner of his eye.
Just this casual glance made the Eighth Prince's originally unruly eyes suddenly fixed.
etc……
Why does it look familiar?
The Eighth Prince subconsciously raised his eyes and looked behind Lin Jiangnian, at the table not far away. When his eyes fell on the figure in white, the Eighth Prince was startled, and then, the original pride on his face disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there was astonishment and disbelief!
The eighth prince's legs went weak and he almost fell down, he lost his voice subconsciously.
"Emperor, Imperial Sister?!"
"You, why are you here?!"
“…”
