Chapter 157: Continue to Warm the Bed for This Prince

It was late at night and quiet.

The villagers in the small mountain village turned off the lights and fell asleep early. The autumn night wind added a lot of coolness.

In the courtyard, in the room.

The cold wind was raging outside the window. Although this small room was simple, it was clean and tidy. The small nest was filled with a little warmth.

The dim oil lamp on the table was about to go out, leaving only the last trace of fire. When it burned out, the room was completely plunged into darkness.

This also meant that it was time to rest.

There were not many entertainment activities in the small mountain village. After dark, there was nothing else to do except sleeping and exercising.

"It's time to rest."

Across the table, Zhiyuan's voice came from the other side.

The voice was very light, as if there was no ripple.

However, it was still possible to detect a bit of tension.

Then, she slowly got up and returned to the bed. As usual, she took off her shoes and socks, got into the quilt with her clothes on, turned over, and rolled into the bed, leaving half of the bed as if it was clearly divided.

Very tacit understanding.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian was in a good mood.

Obviously, Zhiyuan had tacitly accepted the fact of sleeping in the same bed with him.

Starting from the first night a few days ago, the two of them maintained the same tacit understanding in the following nights. Sleeping in the same bed, but no one mentioned this matter.

It was exactly the same as the process of applying medicine to Zhiyuan, as if it had become a little secret between the two.

And Lin Jiangnian could also feel that Zhiyuan was alert and tense from the first night, and then gradually relaxed a lot...

Obviously, she recognized Lin Jiangnian's gentlemanly behavior.

Of course, there may be other reasons.

However, Lin Jiangnian didn't care.

The arrogant and cold little maid who used to disdain him, now not only undressed in front of Lin Jiangnian, allowing him to touch her skin, but was even willing to sleep with him in the same bed, which was enough.

For Lin Jiangnian, a deep sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

Although the truth is not so, but... is it important?

At least the result is that the two of them slept together.

In this era when a woman's reputation and chastity are extremely important, it is equivalent to the two of them sleeping together!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's mood became more and more cheerful. After seeing that there was no movement on the bed, he slowly got up and walked to the bed. He took off his shoes and clothes and got into the quilt with ease.

The warmth from the quilt drove away the coldness of the body, and the faint fragrance from Zhiyuan made Lin Jiangnian feel relaxed and happy.

The soft embrace of a girl is extraordinary. In the past, Xiaozhu would wait for Lin Jiangnian to fall asleep after warming the quilt every night. This time, it was someone else!

Glancing across the line of sight, in the dark environment, it was vaguely seen that Zhiyuan still turned her back, leaving him with a lonely and beautiful back.

However, compared to the first night when she was so nervous that she could see it with the naked eye, Zhiyuan tonight was obviously much more relaxed. Although she was still a little restrained and careful, she was no longer cautious and afraid as she was the first time.

Sure enough, girls will be nervous and afraid for the first time.

In the darkness, Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan's back for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "How about I discuss something with you?"

Zhiyuan didn't speak, as if she didn't hear.

"Always sleeping in the same position is not good for your body, it will affect blood circulation and development..."

These nights sleeping in the same bed, Zhiyuan always turned her back to him, keeping this posture all night without moving, which made Lin Jiangnian a little regretful.

He also wanted to see what Zhiyuan would look like when she was asleep, but she never gave him a chance.

"How about you turn around and let's chat?"

Lin Jiangnian tried to speak.

But still got no response.

Zhiyuan didn't move, as if she was asleep, and didn't hear anything at all.

But she definitely didn't sleep.

For a master like Zhiyuan, once her injuries recovered, her body was extremely sensitive to the surroundings, and it was impossible for her to fall asleep easily.

Then the only explanation is very simple...she was pretending to sleep.

Pretending not to hear.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's mind became more active.

Sharing the same bed with Zhiyuan these days, and with Zhiyuan's tacit consent, he became much bolder. Turning his head, he quietly looked at Zhiyuan's graceful body under the quilt. Although she was wearing clothes, it could not hide Lin Jiangnian's fiery gaze at all.

"Zhiyuan, do you know..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "You are actually more attractive from behind..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold and angry breath coming.

Looking up, he saw Zhiyuan beside him moving.

She turned around with difficulty, almost in a panic, staring at Lin Jiangnian, her eyes full of shame and anger, staring at him vigilantly.

In the dark, the bright eyes were full of shame and anger, her pretty face was slightly red, and her breathing was slightly rapid. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, her back almost against the wall, and she was angry.

The reaction was particularly intense!

When she noticed the look of "as expected" on Lin Jiangnian's face and the playful smile on his face, how could she not realize something?

This guy did it on purpose!

He said that on purpose?

Zhiyuan was ashamed and angry, glared at him angrily, and said coldly: "Don't look!"

Lin Jiangnian did not let her have her way, and looked at Zhiyuan with a smile on his face, whose pretty face was flushed and eyes were slightly flustered.

"You are wrong, what do you think of me?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "I am a gentleman!"

Zhiyuan said nothing, still staring at him with shame and anger.

gentleman?

Oh!

"Look, have I ever touched you in the past few days? Have I ever forced you to do anything?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke eloquently: "Not only did I not offend you at all, but I also enthusiastically helped you with the medicine. I worked diligently and worked hard without complaining... Where can you find a gentleman like me?"

Zhiyuan was still silent.

Although what Lin Jiangnian said was true, she still felt that it was strange for some reason.

I wanted to retort, but didn't speak.

"Look, isn't this nice?"

Lin Jiangnian silently stared at her shy, angry, restless and vigilant face. Her fair skin, delicate facial features, and cautious and vigilant expression with a bit of uneasiness and trance made Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Eye.

There was a hint of strange color in his eyes.

This hint of strangeness was instantly caught by Zhiyuan. She became increasingly wary, biting her lower lip and staring at him.

Lin Jiangnian looked away with difficulty.

No, I can’t watch it anymore.

Ever since he met Zhiyuan, this little maid has always had a cold, arrogant and aloof temperament that seemed to have everything under control.

But now Zhiyuan looks weak and innocent, uneasy and nervous, and actually looks a bit cute.

So cute, I miss the sun!

Lin Jiangnian looked away and sighed softly.

Incredible.

Putting his hands on the pillow and staring at the dark beams, Lin Jiangnian changed the subject: "By the way, what are your plans next?"

Zhiyuan was originally feeling ashamed and angry, and her mood was complicated and confusing. Suddenly, she was startled when she heard Lin Jiangnian's sudden serious talk.

After a moment of silence.

"What's the plan?"

"What's your next trip?"

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at her: "You left Prince Lin's Mansion this time and came to Xunyang County to avenge your parents, right?"

Zhiyuan remained silent.

Lin Jiangnian already knew about this and there was no need for her to elaborate further.

"As far as I know, there were too many shadows of Xunyang County family forces behind the fall of your Jiang family. But in the final analysis, it was indeed the Wang family that caused all of this to happen!"

"The Wang family is indeed the real culprit."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian glanced back at her: "Then what are your plans?"

"Avenge the Wang family? Or should we eradicate all the family forces and people who participated in it?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes, remained silent for a long time, and said, "I don't have that ability."

"so?"

“Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner!”

Zhiyuan's tone was slightly cold: "The mastermind behind the murder of the Jiang family was the Wang family. As for other families..."

After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Everyone who participated in it will die."

Lin Jiangnian understood.

With her ability, it is true that she cannot compete with the family forces in Xunyang County, but it would be much easier to assassinate and eradicate those members of the family forces who participated in the murder of the Jiang family.

"That's okay..."

Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of joking in his tone: "I thought you wanted to eradicate all those family forces?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a long time and then said, "I'm not stupid."

The force behind the murder of the Jiang family was too huge, and countless people were involved. If they were really eradicated, they would almost become enemies of the entire Xunyang County.

With the paper kite's ability, how can it do this?

Not to mention him, even if King Lin comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

This is no longer a matter of simply killing a few people!

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew it, so he just made a joke and seemed to have something in mind: "What's next?"

"Um?"

In the darkness, Zhiyuan raised her eyes, slightly puzzled.

"What about after eradicating the Wang family?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke loudly: "After avenging your parents, the Jiang family, what are your plans?"

A somewhat confused look appeared in Zhiyuan's eyes: "I don't know."

"Have you not thought about it?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes.

Not speaking was equivalent to acquiescence.

"Will you come back to Prince Lin's Mansion again?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian chuckled lightly and didn't bother to talk to her any more: "If you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you go to Beijing with me?"

"Entering Beijing?"

Zhiyuan seemed to be stunned and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a few times. Only then did he realize why Lin Jiangnian appeared in Xunyang County.

He plans to go to the capital!

Go to the capital...to marry the eldest princess? !

Zhiyuan is very clear about this matter.

However, for some reason, when I suddenly thought of this tonight, I had a vague feeling in my heart.

Can't tell.

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and remained silent: "What should I do in the capital?"

"You haven't been to the capital yet, right? If you have time this time, why don't you go to the capital with me?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at her face, not concealing his purpose at all... When he came to Xunyang County this time, he came just for Zhiyuan.

Lin Jiangnian wanted to take this disobedient maid with him. On the one hand, Zhiyuan's martial arts skills were extremely high, so staying with him was equivalent to having the protection of a top master, which gave him a sense of security. On the other hand, Lin Jiangnian decided to influence and train this disobedient little maid so that she could call her master willingly.

This is Lin Jiangnian's real purpose.

However, Zhiyuan remained silent.

Facing Lin Jiangnian's scorching gaze in the darkness, she didn't speak for a long time, hesitating about something.

When she left Linjiang City, she had no intention of going back, just as she had not expected Lin Jiangnian to appear here.

She did not have any deep memories of the Lin Wang Mansion, nor did she have anyone worth remembering. She entered the Lin Wang Mansion that year just to repay her gratitude. To repay the Lin Wang Fei for saving her life, and to repay the Lin Wang for cultivating her.

And now, the Lin Wang Shizi has...

Her gratitude has been repaid, and the Lin Wang has allowed her to leave the Lin Wang Mansion.

She originally planned to travel around the world after avenging the Jiang family, to travel around the kingdom, to the rivers and lakes, to the old land of the Miaojiang in the south, to see the woman who had a relationship with her father...

Or go back to Jiangnan, that's where she grew up!

But Lin Jiangnian's appearance disrupted all her plans.

Tonight, at this moment, facing Lin Jiangnian's invitation, she hesitated.

Perhaps a few days ago, she would have refused without hesitation... She didn't want to go to the capital with him.

But tonight...

She hesitated.

Lin Jiangnian saw the hesitant look on Zhiyuan's face and raised his eyebrows: "Why? Don't you want to?"

Zhiyuan looked up at him, hesitant to speak.

"I heard that my prince's aunt is now in the capital, don't you want to go see her?"

Hearing this, Zhiyuan was startled: "Aunt is in the capital?"

"I heard that she ran to the capital to avoid her family's urging for marriage..."

Lin Jiangnian mentioned casually: "According to the date, it should be almost in the capital. When we get to the capital, we should be able to see her again."

Lin Jiangnian had no impression of the cheap aunt, but Zhiyuan was different. After the death of Princess Lin, Zhiyuan had been living with the aunt, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

"According to the time, you should have not seen her for a few years, right?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Why, don't you want to go see her?"

Sure enough, when she heard that the aunt was in the capital, Zhiyuan, who was still hesitant, was silent for a while and gradually made up her mind.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes."

"Go to the capital with me?"

"Yes."

"Then continue to warm my bed?"

"Yes...?!!"

In the darkness, Zhiyuan suddenly raised her eyes and stared at him vigilantly: "What did you say?"

"Nothing..."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and coughed lightly: "It's late, go to bed, go to bed."

Zhiyuan bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes showed a bit of female shame and anger, and she glared at him.

But she saw that Lin Jiangnian had closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

In the darkness, Zhiyuan stared at his face for a while, staring at Lin Jiangnian's familiar and tender face, with sharp features, as if muttering to herself.

"Like, too much like..."

A complex expression flashed across her eyes, a little dazed, and there was also an indescribable emotion.

Until a long time later, a strong sense of sleepiness came over her, and she closed her eyes in a daze.

That night, Zhiyuan had a dream!

In her dream, she felt that she was wrapped in a stove, warm, and she almost subconsciously hugged the stove, letting the warm breath wrap herself.

That night, she slept very peacefully.

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone in from the window.

When Lin Jiangnian woke up, he felt a little difficult to breathe for some reason.

It was as if something was strangled around his neck, making him a little breathless.

He could also smell a faint fragrance in his nose.

Very close.

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously opened his eyes and looked down.

Stunned!
