Chapter 447 Uninvited Guests at the Imperial Mausoleum
Zhiyuan was startled when she heard this. She looked up and met Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
She seemed stunned, but not...surprised?
She didn't speak, quietly waiting for Lin Jiangnian's next words.
"The journey back this time is long and the itinerary is hurried. Not only is the journey difficult, but there may be some unknown dangers..."
This time, the situation is completely different from the initial entry into Beijing!
When Lin Jiangnian entered Beijing, he was in a leisurely and high-profile mood to travel around the mountains and rivers.
The purpose of the high-profile was to attract the people behind the scenes at that time to show up.
But the situation this time is completely different.
Lin Jiangnian must leave as soon as possible, so he naturally has no mood and time to travel around the mountains and rivers.
The journey is hurried, and it is not suitable to bring too many people around. Especially Xiaozhu, his personal maid, she is weak in body. The last time she came to Beijing from Linjiang City, she got sick several times along the way due to acclimatization.
The journey back this time was hurried. If she continued to travel, she might not be able to hold on.
In addition, this time she had to face unknown dangers. Lin Jiangnian could not guarantee whether there would be someone waiting for him on the way back.
Therefore, Lin Jiangnian had to make preparations early. This time he had to be very low-key and not attract too many people's attention.
In this way, it was not suitable for him to bring too many people with him this time!
Of course, Lin Jiangnian also had other plans.
…
In the room with dim lights swaying, Zhiyuan listened to Lin Jiangnian's analysis and plans, and her cold eyes fell on him.
"So, you want me to take Xiaozhu and the others to Jiangnan with my aunt?"
"That's right!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Not only do you have to take Xiaozhu and the others to Jiangnan with great fanfare, but you also have to create an illusion... I'm going too!"
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes slightly and immediately understood what Lin Jiangnian meant.
He wanted to mislead everyone's sight and give everyone the illusion that Lin Jiangnian went to Jiangnan Jiangnan.
"It's difficult."
Zhiyuan was silent for a while and spoke.
Lin Hengzhong was assassinated. As the prince of Lin Wang, Lin Jiangnian did not return to Linjiang City in a hurry, but instead went to Jiangnan.
This is obviously unreasonable!
It is difficult to deceive those people!
"It is their business whether they believe it or not, but as long as they can create an illusion, it will be fine."
Lin Jiangnian laughed.
Everyone knew that he would definitely return to Linjiang City, but no one knew how and when Lin Jiangnian would return.
Zhiyuan was Lin Jiangnian's personal maid. She went to Jiangnan, and there was a suspected prince of Lin Wang around her. Even if they didn't believe it, they would definitely find a way to find out.
Who can guarantee that Lin Jiangnian will not change his route back to Linjiang City on the way to Jiangnan?
In this way, it will definitely be able to conceal people's eyes and ears.
It doesn't have to be able to deceive everyone, but as long as it can deceive most people. By the time those people found out that something was wrong, Lin Jiangnian had already returned to Linjiang City quietly.
This is also the best way at present.
After listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Zhiyuan fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
After hesitating for a while, Zhiyuan nodded gently: "Okay."
She also knew that this was the best way at the moment.
Lin Jiangnian hurried back to Linjiang City. If he took them with him, it would be a burden. Zhiyuan was fine, but Xiaozhu and other maids from the palace who followed him would definitely not be able to stand the long journey.
Naturally, Xiaozhu and the others could not be left in Beijing.
In this case, letting them go to Jiangnan with him was the best choice.
As Lin Jiangnian said, in this way, they could also take the opportunity to confuse the outside world's vision and make people unclear about Lin Jiangnian's true movements.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
But...
Zhiyuan's eyes were cold and her eyes seemed to be dim, quietly watching Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian saw it, gently stretched out his hand to hug the girl's delicate body into his arms, and gently stroked her hair: "What? Are you reluctant to leave me?"
The plan is indeed a good plan!
But in this way, it also means that Lin Jiangnian will be separated from Zhiyuan and the others for a while.
Thinking of this, he was somewhat reluctant.
Zhiyuan's eyes were still cold, and a bit of trance flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he spoke softly: "Xiaozhu may not agree."
"Hmm?"
Zhiyuan spoke softly, expressionless: "Xiaozhu, I rely on you a lot."
Lin Jiangnian understood!
For more than a year, Xiaozhu has been with him as his personal maid. This time, they suddenly have to separate. Xiaozhu may not be able to accept it for a while.
"Xiaozhu is weak, she will definitely not be able to go back to Linjiang City with me."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He didn't want to hurt Xiaozhu.
This time, he planned to go back alone, so it was naturally not suitable to bring her with him.
Zhiyuan glanced out the window casually, and said lightly: "Go and talk to her yourself."
"Then I'll call her in?"
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just nodded.
Lin Jiangnian got up and came to the door of the room.
Pushed the door open.
The moment the door opened, a figure at the door lost his balance and stumbled into the room.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Zhu at the door looked panicked, and just as she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms caught her.
Xiao Zhu looked at him and her face immediately turned red, like a guilty kitten: "Your Highness..."
"I, I just passed by... I didn't hear anything..."
"I, I'm leaving now..."
Xiaozhu blushed and was about to struggle and run away.
Lin Jiangnian looked down at her pink face and said angrily: "Stop pretending, come in, I have something to tell you!"
"ah?"
Xiaozhu was startled and blinked his beautiful eyes.
Not sure why.
Come in?
His Highness called her to come in?
This, what is this for?
For a moment, Xiaozhu seemed to realize something, his face turned hot and blushing, as if he remembered the experience last time.
"This, this is not good..."
Xiaozhu was about to say something coyly when he saw His Highness had returned to the room.
She then quietly took a look at His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan in the room, and found that their clothes were still neatly dressed.
Um?
Haven't started yet?
With a feeling of shyness and uneasiness, Xiaozhu closed the door and walked in front of His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan. He lowered his head and said in a slightly nervous tone: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Sister Zhiyuan..."
"Xiaozhu, I have something to tell you..."
After Lin Jiangnian called Xiaozhu in, he told her about going to Jiangnan.
Xiaozhu was feeling shy, nervous and uneasy, still thinking about why His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan hadn't started yet?
Could it be that she needs help?
Can you help push it?
still……
While he was still thinking wildly, Xiaozhu was slightly stunned after hearing Lin Jiangnian's words.
His eyes were blank and he blinked.
Why go to Jiangnan?
With Sister Zhiyuan?
After a while...
Xiaozhu finally understood what it meant.
Your Highness, let her go to Jiangnan's Jiang family with Sister Zhiyuan?
"Your Majesty, where are you, Your Majesty?"
Xiaozhu asked quickly.
When he heard that His Highness was going back to Linjiang City alone, Xiaozhu was extremely reluctant to give up at first.
Doesn't this mean that we will be separated from His Highness?
Xiaozhu, who was still in high spirits, suddenly lost his temper.
However, Xiaozhu is also very sensible. Although she is reluctant to leave, she also knows that the situation is urgent. She has also heard the news about the prince's accident and knows that her highness has important things to do.
It is even clearer that she is now a burden and insisting on following His Highness will definitely drag Him down.
Therefore, although Xiaozhu was unhappy, he still agreed.
However, he still looked at his Highness pitifully: "Then Your Highness, you must come to pick up Xiaozhu early, and... sister Zhiyuan?"
Young Lin Jiang smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, you and Zhiyuan will go to Jiangnan's Jiang's house this time to see what's going on there first. After His Highness has finished handling the affairs of Prince Lin's Mansion, we will go to you together." OK?"
"good!"
Xiaozhu's mood recovered a lot, and a smile appeared on his face again.
After comforting Xiaozhu, he told them some details about their trip to Jiangnan. After looking at the sky outside the window, it was already dark.
"It's getting late, hurry up..."
Lin Jiangnian spoke, and his eyes suddenly fell on the room again.
He looked at the two people in the room.
At this moment, the dim lights flickered.
Zhiyuan, wearing a light-colored nightgown, was sitting next to her, arranging the books on the table. Xiaozhu was standing nearby obediently, his eyes clear and innocent.
Both of them had already taken a shower and put on their normal clothes for home. The room was filled with a strong fragrance.
Smells great!
Xiaozhu's eyes met His Highness's.
Blink!
Blink again!
Soon, Xiaozhu's face gradually turned red.
She quickly saw something else in His Highness's eyes.
His face turned redder!
He moved his head shyly, but there seemed to be a touch of... excitement in his eyes!
At this time, Zhiyuan had just finished packing up the things on the table, and suddenly heard no sound behind him, and turned around in confusion.
Then she saw Lin Jiangnian appearing beside her at some point, and stepped forward to hug her gently.
Qingxiao whispered in her ear: "It's getting late, let's take a rest early?"
The voice was very soft, but it seemed to have some other meaning.
When Zhiyuan heard this, her delicate body tensed up slightly, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. How could she not understand the hint in Lin Jiangnian's words?
This is obviously what I want to do...
Zhiyuan itself no longer has much resistance to this. After all, it was no longer the same as before. Thanks to Lin Jiangnian's perseverance, Zhiyuan was no longer as resistant as before.
Thinking about it again, the two of them are about to be separated for a while. One will go to Linjiang City and the other will go to Jiangnan's Jiang family. It is not known when they will be able to meet again after this separation.
Thinking of this, the last bit of resistance in my heart disappeared!
But at this moment, Zhiyuan suddenly realized something, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiaozhu, who was standing aside with a cute look.
His face suddenly turned red.
"Xiao, Xiaozhu is still here..."
Zhiyuan said while trying to push Lin Jiangnian away.
She couldn't be so close to Lin Jiangnian when other people were present.
But Lin Jiangnian pushed further and whispered in Zhiyuan's ear: "It's okay, you can pretend she doesn't exist!"
Zhiyuan said nothing.
What do you mean by pretending she doesn't exist?
How could she pretend that such a big living person didn't exist?
"If that doesn't work... call Xiaozhu together?" Lin Jiangnian continued.
Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes widened, her face flushed, and she glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily.
How could she not understand Lin Jiangnian's thoughts and purposes?
This is obviously what I want to do...
"no!"
Zhiyuan's face turned completely red with embarrassment, and she gritted her teeth and refused.
"Don't get me wrong... I just asked Xiaozhu to sleep with me."
"no!"
"The bed is big enough. Is it okay for one more person?"
"you shut up!"
"..."
"Xiaozhu, why are you still standing there?"
Lin Jiangnian suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaozhu who was standing there and blinking innocently: "Why don't you come over quickly and help your mistress change?"
"ah?"
Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, not realizing what was going on. Looking into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, he stepped forward and cautiously said, "Sister Zhiyuan?"
"No, no... uh uh..."
Zhiyuan was ashamed and angry, so she tried to push Lin Jiangnian away. But the next second, Lin Jiangnian pinched her chin, lowered his head and closed her mouth.
"Hmm..."
Zhiyuan struggled, trying to get away.
But Lin Jiangnian has already mastered it and figured out the shortcomings of the kite. Soon, when he let go, the girl in his arms was blushing and panting.
"You, you know how to bully me..."
Zhiyuan's tone was a little embarrassed and a little aggrieved, and she punched Lin Jiangnian several times hatefully, but there was a hint of lust in her cold eyes.
The water mist filled the air, making it seem a little blurry.
Shortness of breath, aroma hitting my face.
"What? Don't you like it?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled and looked down at the cold and beautiful face in front of him, which was no longer cold as before.
"No, I don't like it!"
Zhiyuan bit her silver teeth, her rosy face still stubborn, glaring at him.
Extremely ashamed and annoyed.
"Oh well."
Lin Jiangnian said and glanced at Xiaozhu next to him: "Xiaozhu, please go out."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the girl's stubborn mouth again.
"Uh... no... don't..."
The girl in her arms struggled, but her strength became increasingly insignificant.
At the same time, Lin Jiang quietly gave a code to Xiaozhu beside him.
Master and servant are united, Xiaozhu's face turned crimson when he saw this scene, and the excitement in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Instead of leaving, she cautiously stepped forward and came behind Sister Zhiyuan.
"Sister Zhiyuan... I'm sorry!"
"Well... you, you guys..."
"..."
Late at night.
The cold wind blows wildly!
Beijing.
Imperial mausoleum!
The lonely and cold wind filled the sky and the earth at night, whistling all around, and the atmosphere was desolate.
In the imperial mausoleum, there was a small room with dim light.
A lonely figure was sitting on the ground, staring blankly.
It seems that he has lost all his energy and energy, like an old man.
"Father, he passed away..."
A low and hoarse voice came, as if talking to himself.
"Hehehe..."
Then, there was a sound that could not be described as crying or laughing.
Somewhat weird.
After a while, the figure slowly raised his head, with a lonely look on his face.
He had an unkempt face with a weathered expression, as if he had aged more than ten years, and there was no trace of his former high-spiritedness.
"Lost, lost...completely lost!"
"My king is still alive now, what's the point?"
Looking at himself like this, he murmured to himself, his eyes gradually losing the last trace of luster.
He tremblingly grabbed a sharp piece of gravel on the ground next to him, took a deep breath, and was about to commit suicide.
A cold, slightly sharp voice suddenly sounded from the room.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince, didn't expect to be so cowardly that he planned to commit suicide?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a pity..."
