Chapter 525 Fake News Begins to Spread

"I didn't expect that this prince could actually become a good person in Linjiang City now?!"

On the street, Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao were walking at the end of the alley. Along the way, they heard people gathering in small groups in the teahouse and tavern next to them, talking about him, the prince who was about to become the king.

I still remember that when we were in Linjiang City a year ago, everyone was shouting at Lin Jiangnian to beat him up. In Linjiang City, everyone had to scold the son of a bitch behind his back.

But now that he has only been away for a year, the people of Linjiang City suddenly began to think of his good deeds... It must be said that there is no harm without comparison.

Lin Jiangnian's sudden change in reputation was thanks to the gang of dandy dignitaries in Linjiang City.

It all depends on the support of peers!

Those dandy and powerful people did not do their job, and over the past year they acted recklessly, oppressed the people, and made Lin Jiangnian, the next prince, look like a good person...

Li Miaomiao was silent and glanced at Lin Jiangnian without saying a word.

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect Li Miaomiao to respond to him. He was already used to this woman's character and being taciturn. He didn't know what was going on in her mind. Even An Ning was ruined!

But if you think about it more carefully, An Ning seems to be much better than her?

Although the little girl also likes to have a cold face, she is still essentially a little girl who has not grown up. She has emotions, anger, sorrow and joy, and will express her grievances when she feels wronged.

When facing Lin Jiangnian, he is often frightened by him and is very timid.

What about Li Miaomiao?

She has always looked like this since we met.

Lin Jiangnian could feel that his relationship with the eldest princess had become much closer. Even when Lin Jiangnian was helping her to 'ward off the cold', she would occasionally be stunned and inadvertently reveal a touch of... tenderness that was difficult to detect?

Every time Lin Jiangnian took the initiative to hold her hand, she never resisted, and she even took the initiative to extend her hand for Lin Jiangnian to hold... It's hard to describe this feeling.

It was as if the moment the two held hands, Lin Jiangnian could vaguely feel the difference in the eldest princess's treatment of him.

This is also the reason why Lin Jiangnian dares to be so bold in front of Li Piaomiao. .

Be confident.

But after the incident, Li Miaomiao returned to her previous coolness. She never mentioned what had happened before, and she never took the initiative to express any emotions.

Lin Jiangnian was in a daze again...as if the previous feelings were all an illusion?

She is still the unkind, cold and arrogant eldest princess. And those little ambiguities that had happened were not normal in Lin Jiangnian's opinion. And for this eldest princess...maybe it is an ordinary thing?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian paused slightly and suddenly stopped.

Li Miaomiao, who was walking side by side with Lin Jiangnian, noticed it and also stopped and looked back at him.

The two of them appeared on the bustling streets of Linjiang City, surrounded by busy traffic and people coming and going, making it a bustling and lively scene.

In the late spring and early summer season, the weather has begun to get hot, and the sun shines on the eldest princess, but it seems to have no impact on her.

The hot breath was swallowed up by the cold air that filled her body before it came close to her.

Looking at the alluring face in front of him, looking at him equally calmly, their eyes met, Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "Aren't you going to say something to me?"

Li Piaomiao was startled for a moment, "What?"

Lin Jiangnian looked away and did not look at her again. He just said lightly: "Your Majesty, what did I tell you last night?"

Seeing that Li Miaomiao did not answer immediately, Lin Jiangnian looked ahead again and added lightly.

"He already told me."

Silence, silence!

The sounds in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to disappear at this moment.

Li Miaomiao still stood where she was, looking at Lin Jiangnian in front of her, as if there was something moving in her calm and beautiful eyes.

There was a moment of trance, and a hint of... clarity.

After a while.

"What did the prince say to you?"

Li Piaomiao's cold voice sounded.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes moved to her again and chuckled: "What did you say? Don't you know?"

Li Miaomiao just stared at Lin Jiangnian without saying a word.

When Lin Jiangnian saw that she didn't speak, he didn't ask any more questions. If she chose to pretend to be stupid, Lin Jiangnian would not take the initiative to expose her. He looked ahead.

"Let's go, let's take you around the city and visit the special places in Linjiang City."

Li Miaomiao, who fell into silence and daze, did not say a word. His expression was still slightly condensed. He followed Lin Jiangnian two steps slower, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

The two walked around the streets in tandem.

…

The public security in Linjiang City is much better than before, and the prosperity is no less than that of the capital city.

In the past ten years or so under Lin Hengzhong's governance, Linjiang City has prospered, attracting a large influx of merchants and talents, and has now become what it is today.

Not only Linjiang City, the entire Linzhou was prosperous under Lin Hengzhong's governance.

In Linzhou, most of the people who had no food to eat in the past now live a stable and well-fed life. In addition, Lin Hengzhong loved the people like his son, had strict military discipline, and was really good to the people of Linzhou. These people had great trust and respect for Lin Hengzhong. It is no exaggeration to say that they only recognized Prince Lin and not the emperor.

Even if Prince Lin suddenly wants to rebel one day, most people in Linzhou will support it and even join the army.

And this situation is even more obvious in Linjiang City!

Linjiang City still has government offices in name, and even officials sent by the court, but in reality, they have long been in name only. Most of the people inside and outside the government offices have long been from the Linwang Mansion.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that countless memorials impeaching Lin Hengzhong are sent to the emperor every year. The court is in turmoil, but for the people of Linjiang City, all this is unimportant.

They don't recognize the court, don't recognize the emperor, only recognize the prince!

…

Wandering on the street, Lin Jiangnian observed the comings and goings of the people while inquiring about the news and intelligence circulating among the people from the market.

Since Lin Jiangnian ordered the arrest of Chen Junru, all the noble families strictly prohibited their descendants from going out. Most of the former dandies and dignitaries were confined at home and were not allowed to go out. At the same time, they sent people to inquire about the situation.

In the final analysis, these noble families are still suspicious... Is the Linwang Mansion really going to take action against the Chen family by arresting Chen Junru?

Was this just a whim of Lin Jiangnian, the dandy, or was it... the instruction of the Prince Lin behind the scenes?

No one can be sure!

And there are also rumors circulating among the people, about the life and death of Prince Lin, about the situation after Chen Junru was arrested this time.

And...

"Hey, have you heard a piece of news?"

A low voice came from the other side of the wall. The voice was so low that ordinary people could hardly hear it.

But it happened that with the sensitivity of Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao's ears, they could just hear this faint discussion.

"This news is also something I accidentally learned some time ago. It is related to the Prince Lin... It can be said to be a shocking news. I will scare you to death if I tell you!"

"Don't keep us in suspense. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. What happened to the Prince Lin?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have something to say, fart quickly!"

"Actually..."

The voice was lowered again, but it was still audible.

"I heard that our prince now... is fake, someone is impersonating him."

As soon as the news came out, it took a moment to explode.

"Fake?"

"Is he impersonated?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the prince be impersonated? Are you crazy, dare to say such a thing?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it was told by someone else, I also heard it, but it makes sense... Think about it, has the prince changed from before?"

"What kind of good thing was the prince before? Everyone wanted to beat him? Why is he suddenly good now? As soon as he came back, he wanted to uphold justice for the people and arrested the son of the Chen family? Don't you think it's abnormal?"

"..."

At first, others just thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously.

But after hearing this person's confident analysis, others looked at each other and gradually fell into deep thought.

It seems to make some sense?

The prince is fake?

Is he impersonated?

If this is true... then it's a big deal!

Thinking of this, the people present began to get restless and talk about it.

"Does Prince Lin know about this?"

"Nonsense, he definitely doesn't know. If he knew, would Prince Lin still let him live?"

"How dare someone impersonate the prince? Isn't this crazy?"

"No, it's better to believe it than not. Maybe there is a traitor who intends to murder Prince Lin. We must quickly inform Prince Lin's mansion of this matter..."

"..."

On the street across the wall.

Lin Jiangnian stopped, his face slightly condensed, his expression cold.

Fake?

Where did this news come from? !

Now that Lin Jiangnian has confirmed his identity, he naturally doesn't take this matter seriously.

But the problem is that not many people know that Lin Jiangnian once impersonated the identity of Prince Lin. How did this news spread among the people?

And why did it spread in Linjiang City?

This is very wrong!

Lin Jiangnian smelled a bit of conspiracy.

Only Liu Su, Xu Lan, Zhi Yuan and Xiao Yi knew that he was faking his identity. And these people were all his own people, and there was no way they would spread the news.

So, who was it? !

When Lin Jiangnian was concentrating, he felt that someone was staring at him. Turning back, he saw Li Piaomiao looking at him quietly, with a deep look in his eyes.

"Your identity is exposed!"

Her tone was very calm, and it was obvious that she also heard the discussion on the other side of the wall.

When she first met Lin Jiangnian, she doubted his identity.

He was not the prince of Lin!

However, Li Piaomiao never intended to reveal Lin Jiangnian's identity.

To this day, she has not mentioned this matter. For her, it doesn't matter who the prince of Lin is. What she knows is Lin Jiangnian himself. As for the rest, it is the family affairs of the Lin family and has nothing to do with her.

However, even though he thought so, when he heard someone suddenly mention the fake inside the wall, Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian, only to see that he looked normal and had no worries.

This made Li Piaomiao's eyes full of doubts, and he frowned coldly.

After a moment of silence, he still spoke to remind him.

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect that Li Piaomiao would be more concerned about this matter than him? From Li Piaomiao's expression, he seemed to see a trace of... worry?

"Yes, it's exposed!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed and spread his hands: "This is really over. I didn't expect that I hid so well, but I was still discovered and suspected... What do you think I should do next?"

Li Piaomiao was silent.

What should I do?

She doesn't know.

Based on her friendship with Prince Lin, she should have told him about this matter when she saw Prince Lin.

But she didn't.

She naturally knew that once she said it, Lin Jiangnian would definitely die.

Although Lin Jiangnian's life and death had nothing to do with her, for some reason, when Li Pianmiao thought about this, she felt a little dazed subconsciously.

So in the end, she did nothing.

Looking at Lin Jiangnian's 'worried' face in front of him, Li Miaomiao frowned even deeper.

Pretending to be Prince Lin's Crown Prince is already extremely outrageous.

She still doesn't know how Lin Jiangnian managed to slip through and deceive everyone in Prince Lin's Mansion, but right now, there is news in Linjiang City about Prince Lin's impersonation, and it will surely reach Prince Lin's Mansion soon. By then...

Thinking of this, for some reason, Li Miaomiao's originally calm mood suddenly became a little uneasy.

An indescribable rush of nervousness emerged slightly.

After staring at Lin Jiangnian for a while, she spoke coldly.

"Get out of here."

"Where to go?"

"Leave Linzhou, leave the Daning Dynasty."

Li Piaomiao looked at him and said coldly: "Only by staying anonymous can you have a chance to survive."

His identity was exposed and he wanted to survive, this was the only way.

Only by staying away from Lin Wangfu's sphere of influence and avoiding the intelligence investigation of Linwangfu can you have a chance of survival.

But, it’s difficult!

The crime of impersonating Prince Lin is too big after all!

More importantly, if nothing else happens, the original Prince Lin may have already... Prince Lin is just such a son. Once he learns of the news of the loss of his son, the consequences will be disastrous.

Listening to Li Miaomiao's suggestion, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I can escape?"

Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment: "There is a chance."

"Can't run away."

Lin Jiangnian sighed and glanced at Li Pianmiao again: "Unless... you help me?"

Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes remained unchanged: "Why should I help you?"

"Because you didn't reveal my identity."

Lin Jiangnian smiled brightly: "Since you didn't expose it, it means you are reluctant to bear the death of my son... So, you won't watch my identity being exposed, and you will help me, right?"

Li Piaomiao looked at him expressionlessly: "What if I don't help?"

"Then just wait to die."

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and said, "You can't run away anyway, so don't waste your efforts."

He looked like he was waiting for death, which made Li Pianmiao frown slightly, vaguely feeling that something was strange.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Lin Jiangnian speak again: "Of course, you don't have to run away. Maybe there are other ways..."

Li Pianmiao looked at Lin Jiangnian and saw him smiling at her: "Maybe, I'm pretending to be very good. Does Prince Lin regard me as his own son?"

"As long as the prince can't find any clues, no matter how many rumors are spread outside, it will be useless... Are you right?"

Li Piaomiao's face was expressionless.

Can't find it?

How could Prince Tangtanglin fail to discover that his son was a fake?

How could he be so confident that he could hide everything?

Do you really think Lin Hengzhong is...

With this thought in his mind, Li Miaomiao was suddenly startled and vaguely realized that something was wrong.

She frowned, thinking about something quickly...

Lin Hengzhong...

Just as he was thinking about something, there was a sudden noise on the street ahead, and then, several figures in black appeared.

After taking a closer look, he was the guard of Prince Lin's Mansion.

I saw these guards appear from the street, quickly came to the restaurant next to the wall, and several people rushed into the restaurant. Not long after, several people were taken out of the restaurant, and their mouths were tightly gagged.

Li Miaomiao, who caught a glimpse of this scene, shrank her beautiful eyes and suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Jiangnian. (End of chapter)
