Chapter 112 Leaving

In the quiet room, there was another figure, who had been waiting for a long time.

It is the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Lan!

When Lin Jiangnian saw her, he was somewhat surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Xu Lan glared at him lightly.

"Of course."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and did not argue with the girl.

This girl herself entered Prince Lin's Mansion just like her own family, and it was normal for her to show up at any time.

However, this girl's presence is indeed very low these days.

She was grounded by her father some time ago, so she finally slipped out of the house and came to see Lin Jiangnian for a day. Then King Lin came back. So many things happened during this time, and she didn't see her for several days.

Not to mention, Lin Jiangnian was somewhat uncomfortable without her chattering in his ears.

"However, can you change your habit of barging into my room when you disagree with me?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and walked to the table.

"Humph, I am happy!"

Xu Lan snorted softly and stared at Lin Jiangnian, as if thinking of something, her eyes were a little complicated: "Hey."

"how?"

"Are you going to the capital?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at her: "How do you know?"

"Xiao Zhu told me."

Xu Lan snorted, then glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"What kind of big deal is this?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Do I have to inform you specifically?"

"you……"

When Xu Lan heard Lin Jiangnian's tone, she didn't seem to care, and she suddenly felt unhappy.

A lot of things did happen during this period. Last time she slipped out of the house and was discovered by her father, and she was caught and refused to go out.

Coupled with the return of King Lin, Linjiang City has been in turmoil these days. She heard that King Lin was assassinated in his residence and was in danger. Although she wanted to go out, she held back.

It wasn't until he had passed the limelight that he couldn't wait to find Lin Jiangnian. In the end, Lin Jiangnian was not found, but he learned the shocking and unexpected news from Xiaozhu who came back from the courtyard!

Lin Jiangnian is going to the capital?

Are you going to marry the eldest princess in Beijing? !

When hearing the news, Xu Lan was in a daze!

She knew very well that the current Lin Jiangnian was a fake, and he was not Prince Lin at all...

But, others don’t know? !

Everyone thought he was Prince Lin, who was already engaged to the eldest princess. Now that Lin Jiangnian was going to Beijing to marry the eldest princess, she had already expected it.

But when she actually heard the news, she felt an emotion she couldn't describe. This fake guy actually wants to marry the eldest princess on behalf of the real Prince Lin?

How to describe this feeling?

Xu Lan was inexplicably worried about gains and losses, and originally wanted to go home directly. But he still couldn't hold it back and waited until Lin Jiangnian came back to confirm the news.

"You... are going to marry the eldest princess back?"

Xu Lan couldn't help but asked tentatively.

"So be it."

Lin Jiangnian's answer was ambiguous.

It is true that he will enter the capital, but as for marrying the eldest princess... that may not be possible!

"snort!"

Seeing his perfunctory expression, Xu Lan snorted again: "Are you still going to hide this from me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked strangely: "When did I hide this from you?"

"If I didn't come today, and Xiaozhu hadn't told me... wouldn't you have planned to tell me?"

Lin Jiangnian shrugged: "Can you blame me? I can't go to your Xu family in person and tell you that I'm going to the capital to marry a princess, right?"

Xu Lan was startled and blinked.

It seems, it does sound strange?

but……

"Then I don't care...it's all your fault anyway!"

Xu Lan couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt uncomfortable, so she slammed the table and said angrily: "You are leaving, what should I do?"

"you?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes became even stranger: "What does it have to do with what you do if I leave?"

"I……"

Only then did Xu Lan react, her face turned slightly red, a little unnatural, she quickly turned her head and waved her hand: "I, I mean...if you leave, I, where will I go to have fun in the future?"

"This Linjiang City is so boring. How long will it take you to go to the capital now? It must take a year and a half? If you leave me alone in Linjiang City, won't I be bored to death?"

She had a bad temper, otherwise she wouldn't come to Lin Jiangnian every once in a while, but now Lin Jiangnian suddenly wanted to leave. Xu Lan's heart was filled with mixed emotions, worrying about gains and losses.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she was feeling inexplicable.

Still vaguely...reluctant?

And inexplicable unhappiness!

I couldn’t tell, but I was just unhappy anyway.

"If you say so, is it possible that this prince is your pleasure?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"Humph, that's right!"

Xu Lan spoke confidently.

Only she dared to talk to Lin Jiangnian like this.

Lin Jiangnian curled his lips, "Do you think I am willing to go to the capital, travel a long way to the capital, and marry a woman I have never met?"

Xu Lan was startled and blinked again: "You don't want to?"

"What if?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Are the maids in Prince Lin's Mansion not smart enough? If it weren't for nothing, would I have to travel across mountains and rivers to marry a strange woman thousands of miles away?"

"Think about it with your uncivilized mind!"

"You scolded me again?!"

Xu Lan glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily, but then thought thoughtfully: "It seems... makes sense?"

Yes, this guy is now the prince of Linwang, and there is never a shortage of women around him. Let alone Linjiang City, there are many charming maids in his house, such as Zhiyuan, and the little girl named Xiaozhu before. Maid.

There is really no need for him to go to the capital to marry a princess?

Could it be that she just values ​​her status as a princess?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan felt much more comfortable.

She gave him a gloating look: "Who called you Prince Lin?"

A pun.

Lin Jiangnian ignored her. Xu Lan gloated for a while, but soon lost all interest: "But you still have to go to the capital. Won't I be too bored when you leave?"

"How about you take me with you?"

Xu Lan had a hopeful look on her face. After staying in Linjiang City for so long, she had long been tired of it. She had always wanted to venture into the outside world, but she had no chance.

She heard that the land in Beijing was completely different from the south, and she had always wanted to see it.

"you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down: "Will your father agree?"

"Won't……"

Xu Lan soon became dejected again.

Her father doesn't allow her to come to the palace now, so how could he let her follow Lin Jiangnian on a long trip.

"Isn't that enough? I am your father and you will make me angry to death!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "My trip to Beijing this time is long and dangerous, and I'm not going on vacation. You'd better stay here with peace of mind."

Xu Lan's face immediately fell: "But, it's really boring..."

"or……"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Since you are bored, why not find something to do?"

Xu Lan looked at him hopefully: "What about?"

"Find someone to marry."

"..."

Xu Lan's face turned red and she glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! I, this lady... will never marry!"

"Aren't you saying it's boring? If you find someone to marry and raise a husband and raise children, won't you have something to do?"

"I don't!"

Xu Lan blushed and said angrily: "I am still young... Besides, I, I will not get married..."

At this point, her voice became softer for some reason, and she subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiangnian. Seeing the playful smile on his face, she immediately became a little annoyed.

"Don't laugh!"

"Then there's nothing we can do!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand.

Xu Lan's face was still flushed with a hint of blush, and her girlish posture was clearly visible. He hummed a few times, but he didn't know what he was mumbling.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and suddenly remembered something. He raised his eyes and glanced at the doors and windows. Seeing that they were closed, he turned his eyes to Xu Lan and said, "I want to ask you something?"

Xu Lan was just thinking, when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words, she was stunned and subconsciously asked: "What's the matter?"

"It's the same problem as last time."

Lin Jiangnian sat opposite her, staring into her eyes without speaking.

Xu Lan felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Jiangnian's sudden gaze.

"You, why do you look at me like that?"

"You, what do you want to ask?!"

Just when Xu Lan was having extremely complicated thoughts, Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "Why did you plot to kill Prince Lin before?!"

"..."

Night falls.

A beautiful figure jumped out of the carriage and returned home.

"Miss, are you back?"

The maids from the house hurriedly came to greet her. Xu Lan had no expression on her face and seemed to be in a low mood.

"Miss, if you sneak out today, the master already knows..."

"I see."

Xu Lan still had no expression on her face. She returned to her yard, drove away the maids and servants, and stood alone in the yard.

Looking at the empty atmosphere around the courtyard, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of loneliness.

Very uncomfortable.

Perhaps because her mother died early, she never liked being alone since she was a child and hated being alone.

Today, when she learned that Lin Jiangnian was about to leave Linjiang City, she felt an indescribable feeling of trance and reluctance, as if something had been suddenly taken away from her heart.

Inexplicably panicked!

nervous!

It's strange, why didn't you feel this way before?

She stood in the courtyard, looking up at the moonlight. In the sky, the moonlight was cunning, slowly falling to the ground. Xu Lan was sitting on the steps under the eaves, holding her knees with her hands, a look of confusion on her delicate face.

"I'm sorry, I messed up..."

Xu Lan murmured to herself, biting her lower lip, her fair and delicate face becoming more and more confused: "He has already guessed something, but... I didn't tell him the truth, but..."

"He's leaving now too!"

Xu Lan sat quietly under the eaves for a long time, until finally, she slowly calmed down the emotions on her face, a trace of determination appeared in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and immediately stood up and came outside the hospital.

"Someone's coming."

"Miss, what are your orders?"

"Where's my dad?"

"The master is in the study..." Before the maid could finish speaking, she saw Xu Lan leaving in a hurry.

…

Lin Wangfu, in the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian sat in the room with deep eyes.

Xu Lan didn’t say anything after all!

She was one of the few people who knew Lin Jiangnian's fake identity, and she was also one of the 'culprits behind the murder of Prince Lin.

But when Lin Jiangnian asked the reason again, she was still unwilling to say anything.

However, Lin Jiangnian saw something strange on her face.

It was obvious that it was not her intention to murder the Prince of Lin. There must be someone behind her.

But Lin Jiangnian has not yet found out who the person who ordered her to do so. He had asked Lin Kong to check before, but there was no clue. After all, the Xu family is not a small family. There is a deep connection between the Xu family and the Prince of Lin's Mansion. It is difficult to find out this.

The only breakthrough at the moment is Xu Lan.

However, she is unwilling to say it.

Although Lin Jiangnian still has doubts, he did not ask more. There must be a deep meaning and unknown purpose behind her doing this. With Lin Jiangnian leaving Linjiang City this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the truth and the person behind the scenes will probably gradually appear.

And this is also one of the real purposes of Lin Jiangnian's entry into Beijing this time.

Just when Lin Jiangnian was thinking about it, a petite figure appeared outside the door.

"Your Highness?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes: "Come in."

Xiao Zhu walked in carefully.

Lin Jiangnian waved at her, and she followed him closely.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Jiangnian hugged her into his arms and held her up on his lap.

Xiaozhu blushed and her body tensed: "Your Highness..."

Since last night, Your Highness has become more and more bold and excessive, and Xiaozhu was very nervous and shy.

"Is the hot water ready?"

Lin Jiangnian hugged the little maid in his arms and asked with a chuckle.

Since Zhiyuan left, no one in the palace stopped Lin Jiangnian's behavior. Xiaozhu in front of him naturally couldn't escape his clutches.

No need to worry about Zhiyuan suddenly breaking in and ruining things.

It seems...

This feeling is not bad?

"Sure, ready!"

Xiaozhu lowered her head, her ears almost red.

"Let's go, accompany this prince to take a bath!"

Lin Jiangnian patted the little maid's hips: "Help this prince rub his back."

The little maid's face was red, rub the back?

Is it really just a back rub?

Thinking of what happened last night, Xiao Zhu's face was hot and red, and she was extremely shy. When she was about to get up, she was picked up by Lin Jiangnian and walked towards the door.

"Your Highness... put, put the slave down!"

"Be obedient, don't move."

"...Oh!"

"..."

In Linjiang City, since the news of the assassination of Prince Lin in his mansion last time, it has been calm for several days. In the days without waves, everything was safe and sound.

Until this day, another explosive news came from Linjiang City!

The prince of Prince Lin, in accordance with the order of the emperor, will go to the capital to marry the princess of the current dynasty from now on.

As soon as this news came out, it once again aroused heated discussions among the people in the city.

Some people were extremely angry and scolded how this dog prince could marry the noble princess? The princess was unparalleled in intelligence, beauty and martial arts, it was simply a flower stuck in cow dung.

Some people were setting off firecrackers to celebrate... This dog prince finally left. He won't be back for a year or two this time. It's great. Linjiang City is peaceful.

There are also some people hiding in the dark. After hearing the news, they have begun to stir.

Outside Linjiang City, in a house somewhere, Li Qianlin, who escaped from Linjiang City, had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Did the dog prince really leave Linjiang City?"

"It's true. Someone found out yesterday that many carriages left the city from the Linwang Mansion. Someone saw the dog prince appear. There's no doubt about it!"

"Very good!"

A hint of excitement appeared in Li Qianlin's cold eyes.

"He finally came out! This time, it will be his death!"

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered during this period, Li Qianlin's face became extremely gloomy and hideous.

"When do we start?"

"No hurry!"

Li Qianlin's face was gloomy: "Linzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. Once he leaves Linzhou, it will be his death!"

"This time, no one can save him!"

"..."

Lin Wangfu.

It was another sunny day.

In Ruyi Tower.

Two figures played chess in front of the window of the tower.

"Jiang Nian has left Linjiang City."

Lin Hengzhong made a move and sighed lightly.

Old Li's eyes were turbid, "Your Highness is worried about the safety of His Highness?"

"I'm not worried about that."

Lin Hengzhong shook his head lightly. He had made all preparations for Lin Jiangnian's entry into the capital this time.

What's more, this entry into the capital was just a cover!

He was worried that those people would not come.

"I'm just worried about whether he can gain a foothold in the capital."

Lin Hengzhong sighed lightly. The complexity of the land in the capital was far more serious than he had imagined.

"After all, the capital is too far away, and all my enemies are here. If they start a riot this time..."

"Your Highness, don't worry about this. Your Highness is calm and mature. Even in the capital, you don't have to worry too much."

Old Li glanced at Lin Hengzhong: "What's more, Your Highness wants to inherit the throne of your Highness. Isn't this also a necessary process?"

Lin Hengzhong nodded. This is the real reason why he asked Lin Jiangnian to come to the capital!

It doesn't matter whether he can marry the princess. The key lies in whether Lin Jiangnian can grow up during this trip to the capital. After leaving the protection of the Lin Wang Mansion, can he stand on his own and gain a foothold in the capital full of powerful enemies?

This is a test for him and a necessary experience!

"I didn't expect that Old Li even gave Jiangnian the Autumn Water Sword." Lin Hengzhong glanced at him: "It really surprised my king."

Mr. Li said lightly: "It's just a broken sword. It's a waste to leave it here. It's better to leave it to Your Highness. Maybe it can still play a role."

Lin Hengzhong didn't say anything else. Finally, he said: "You lose."

Mr. Li's eyes were cloudy, but there was a smile on his face: "Yes, I lose!"

Lin Hengzhong stood up: "Let's stop here today. I still have some business to deal with."

Mr. Li nodded: "Your Highness, please."

Lin Hengzhong left Ruyi Tower, went out of the attic, crossed the suspension bridge, and came to the shore.

On the shore, Zheng Zhiming waited quietly for a long time.

When Lin Hengzhong approached the shore, Zheng Zhiming walked up and whispered something to Lin Hengzhong's ear.

The next second, Lin Hengzhong's eyes suddenly condensed.

"Where is the person?!"

"..."
