Chapter 254 Miss Xu

In the alley outside the back door of the Jiang Mansion.

Two sneaky figures stood there.

Judging from the clothes they wore, they looked like a master and servant.

The leader was a handsome... man?

He was wearing a green man's robe, and had the temperament of a rich young man. His face was covered, but he could still see some exquisiteness. His small and delicate features seemed to be a bit like a woman?

But when he saw the ordinary, flat chest under the robe, he was more certain of being a man.

He really looked more like a handsome man!

Behind her was a pretty maid who was carefully looking around and whispered with some worry: "Miss, is this really possible?"

"Will His Royal Highness really meet us?"

The handsome man snorted: "Of course, he will definitely meet us."

"Oh..."

Xiao Lu was a little worried, looked up and looked ahead, feeling uneasy: "Miss, if we run out, what if the second young master finds out..."

The two were Xu Lan and her maid Xiao Lu.

Today, the two took advantage of the lax supervision of the mansion and sneaked out quietly, running to the Jiang Mansion to meet the prince of Lin Wang.

Xiao Lu didn't want to come out, but was forcibly dragged here by her own lady. At this time, her face was full of worry and fear.

"Don't worry, even if you are discovered, I will take care of you."

Xu Lan didn't take it seriously. She glanced at the maidservant who was sneaking around her and said unhappily, "Why are you so scared? We both put on makeup and disguised ourselves today. No one can recognize us."

"But..."

Xiao Lu was still a little anxious. Just as she was about to say something, a maidservant from the Jiang Mansion came out from the back door.

"You two, follow me in."

Hearing this, Xu Lan's eyes lit up slightly: "Is that guy in the mansion?"

The maidservant in the mansion didn't understand. Today, the two people outside the door wanted to see His Highness. Although they didn't know their origins, since His Highness wanted to see them, they were probably His Highness's distinguished guests.

The maidservant nodded and led Xu Lan and the maidservant into the Jiang Mansion from the back door.

"Is this the Jiang Mansion? It's really extraordinary."

Xu Lan followed the maidservant and looked around the Jiang Mansion. The Jiang family in Jiangnan is wealthy and extraordinary in Beijing. Even the mansion in Beijing is comparable to the Xu family in Linzhou.

Her Xu family can have today's status in Linzhou thanks to the support of the Lin Prince. If it weren't for the care of the Xu family by the Lin Prince over the years, the Xu family would never have achieved what it has today.

But now...

As if thinking of something, Xu Lan's eyes dimmed, and then a little angry.

I really don't know what grandpa, father, brother and others are thinking...

After a deep sigh, Xu Lan gathered her mind and stepped into the Jiang Mansion. For some reason, she suddenly became nervous.

It's hard to describe!

There is a kind of uneasy emotion that is hard to hide, with a bit of uncontrollable excitement and joy, and inexplicable shyness.

It's hard to describe.

I haven't seen that guy for a long time. I don't know how he is. Does he still remember me...

That bastard, maybe he has forgotten her a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan gritted her teeth and couldn't help asking the maid who led the way.

"Does your Prince Lin live here?"

The maid didn't understand, and nodded and replied: "My master is the prince's uncle, and this Jiang Mansion can be regarded as another home for the prince. The prince will naturally live here after entering the capital..."

"Apart from him, are there other people?"

"Yes, there are many guards and maids accompanying the prince this time."

"Who are they?"

"This..."

The maid shook her head: "I don't know."

Xu Lan nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the maid had led Xu Lan through the long and narrow corridor to a reception room in the backyard.

The maid led Xu Lan and the other person to sit down and poured hot tea for Xu Lan: "Wait a moment, the prince will be here soon."

After that, the maid left first.

Xu Lan and the maid Xiaolu beside him were left, and the two looked around curiously.

The cold wind was blowing outside the courtyard. Xiaolu glanced at the slightly unnatural look of the young lady beside him. She seemed to think of something and whispered, "Young lady, are you nervous?"

"Nervous?!"

Xu Lan's voice was a little louder: "I, why am I nervous?"

"You are about to meet the prince you have been thinking about. Aren't you nervous?"

Xu Lan's face was a little embarrassed, and she glared at her in shame and anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I think about him?"

Xiaolu was about to say something, but saw that her young lady was staring at him with a bad face. She quickly shut up and muttered in her heart.

Since her young lady came to the capital, she has been thinking about the prince of Lin, always caring about his life and death, and she had to run out to see him... If this is not thinking about him, what is it?

"Hmph."

Xu Lan's face was unnatural, and she snorted: "I, I'm just afraid that he's dead... He hasn't fulfilled the bet I made with him, he can't die now..."

"I just came to see if he's still alive. If he's really dead... It's fine if he's dead, it's good if he's dead, there will be one less disaster in the world..."

Listening to her young lady's increasingly hard mouth, Xiao Lu sighed secretly. Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Why do I hear someone cursing this prince to death from so far away?"

As soon as the voice came out, the two of them were startled, and they turned around. Not far behind them, stood a handsome young man with extraordinary temperament.

He has good facial features, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Perhaps because of the dusty journey to Beijing, he lacks the elegance of a scholar and has more of a chivalrous spirit.

Zheng appeared not far away, looking at the two of them.

"Shi, His Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Xiao Lu was startled, and when she turned around to see the figure behind her, she was slightly startled.

This, is this His Royal Highness Prince Lin? !

After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiaolu blinked, why did he feel that His Highness... was different?

It seems, it looks better?

Xu Lan stared blankly at the familiar figure that appeared in his sight. It was still the same familiar face, but somehow, it seemed to have changed a lot.

Seems to have grown taller?

It also seems to have a bit more temperament that it didn’t have before...

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, but it seems like many years have passed.

For some reason at this moment, Xu Lan's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged into her heart.

Even she herself didn't know what was going on.

She obviously has nothing to fear tomorrow, not to mention that she still holds this guy's crucial 'handle', so why should she be nervous?

But she was really nervous, her palms clenched subconsciously, and her fists were covered in sweat.

Inexplicably, I feel like I'm reunited with my lover after a long separation...

Xu Lan quickly shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts.

What the hell, how could she think that these things were not available?

Taking a deep breath, she seemed to find some sense of familiarity when she saw a familiar smile on that familiar face. Her nervousness weakened a lot, and she hummed softly: "It would be better if I died, this is what I want to do." There will be one less scourge in the world..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the master and servant in front of him, Xu Lan and the maid named Xiaolu beside her.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, and Xu Lan still hasn’t changed much...she is still dressed and dressed more like before.

When she was in Linzhou, Xu Lan had a fiery personality and dressed more neutrally. Coupled with Yima Pingchuan's physical characteristics, at first glance, he looks exactly like a man.

Of course, it also has something to do with the reason why she sneaks out of the house from time to time.

But today she...

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "What is that painted on your face?"

Xu Lan seemed to have some makeup on her face, which made her look a little different from before.

"Humph, it's not your fault!"

Xu Lan spoke.

"Blame me?"

Lin Jiangnian was confused. What does it have to do with him?

The maid Xiaolu on the side explained softly: "Miss was afraid of being discovered, so she disguised herself before coming to see you, Your Highness..."

"Afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Jiangnian was even more surprised: "Why are you afraid of being discovered?"

How does this sound like an affair?

"Of course it's because..."

Xiaolu subconsciously opened her mouth, but was quickly covered by Xu Lan standing beside her.

"Xiao Lu, you have nothing to do here. You go out to play first."

Xiaolu looked at her young lady with an aggrieved look, said "Oh", got up and left the living room.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xiao Lu who was walking out, thoughtfully.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be alive."

After driving Xiao Lu away, Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian again with an unnatural look on her face. She looked away slightly and snorted: "I thought you would die on the road."

The familiar tone is indeed the speaking style of Miss Xu.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "What? Do you want me to die?"

"I don't."

Xu Lan pouted.

"Then you just cursed me?"

"Can't you?"

Xu Lan glared at him lightly.

"Have I offended you?"

"That's right."

"Tell me about it?"

Lin Jiangnian walked closer and looked at the vaguely familiar Miss Xu in front of him. It seemed that nothing had changed.

Haven't even touched the development?

"snort!"

Xu Lan seemed to have regained some confidence and glared at him: "You have been gone for half a year without any news. It is as if you are dead. Do you know how worried I...my father and others are about you?"

"Is your father worried about me?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her in astonishment, and then said, "Didn't I tell you everything? It may take a long time for me to return to Beijing this time. It could be as short as half a year, or as long as one or two years..."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian remembered something: "By the way, why did you come to the capital?"

"Let's play!"

"Play?"

"yes!"

Xu Lan glanced at Lin Jiangnian and hummed: "If you can come, can't I come?"

"I'm here to do business."

"I'm here to play!"

Xu Lan pouted: "After you left Linjiang City, there was no one to play with this girl. I was bored, so I came to the capital..."

For some reason, Lin Jiangnian could hear a hint of grievance in her tone?

Xu Lan was indeed aggrieved.

This guy left immediately, and there was no news after leaving Linjiang City.

She came to the capital quietly, hoping to give this guy a surprise. Unexpectedly, something happened to him on the way and he almost lost his life. But she was so worried and anxious that she finally found out that this guy was still alive. Now that she saw him, she felt inexplicably angry.

Can't tell.

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, looked at Miss Xu in front of him, and said with a smile, "Is the capital fun?"

"It's not fun at all."

Xu Lan pouted, her tone a little dull.

She hasn't been out much since she came to the capital...

However, seeing Lin Jiangnian's still familiar face, it felt like he had returned to Prince Lin's Mansion. The original tension in her heart and the sense of alienation she had not seen for a long time gradually disappeared.

I haven’t seen him for a long time, but this guy hasn’t changed yet.

This made Xu Lan feel relieved.

The small grievances that had been accumulated in the past also disappeared.

Then, she grabbed Lin Jiangnian and asked about her experiences along the way.

"By the way, what happened on your way to Beijing this time? I heard that you are about to die? Is this the case? What's going on, please tell me..."

Xu Lan asked all the questions.

She was someone who couldn't hide her worries. Now that Lin Jiangnian was not alienated from her, she couldn't wait to know what happened during this period.

"Calm down first, I'll tell you slowly."

Lin Jiangnian had expected that Miss Xu would be curious about these things, so he calmed her down first and then slowly told her about it.

However, Lin Jiangnian also gave a brief explanation and mostly brushed off what happened. Even so, Xu Lan still heard the danger in it.

From the time he entered Xunyang City, he was assassinated and almost buried in a secret room, to being injured and then continuing to the capital, encountering various assassinations along the way, to almost dying at the hands of Uncle Shen Lingjun, a narrow escape...

Even if it was just a brief description, Xu Lan was still shocked by what he heard. His eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

Xu Lan is different from other women. She has had a strong personality since she was a child, and she has also been extremely yearning for the world. She is much more tolerant of fighting and killing than ordinary women. But now that she heard Lin Jiangnian's description, she still felt extremely thrilling and terrified.

"It's not easy for you to make it to the capital alive. I'm so lucky..."

Xu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, if it weren't for my great fortune, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see my son today." Lin Jiang young smiled.

"The disaster has lasted for thousands of years, and I'm talking about you."

Xu Lan subconsciously talked back, but then thought of something again and said angrily: "Who sent someone to assassinate you and almost killed you? Have you found out?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Revenge!"

Xu Lan said angrily: "You were almost killed, how can you not avenge this?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Xu Lan with an angry look on his face and sighed: "I can't retaliate!"

"Why?"

"The other party's background is too great!"

Xu Lan was surprised: "Is there anyone with a greater background than you, Prince Lin?"

"Why not?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "My reputation as Prince Lin is only valid in Linzhou. After I leave Linzhou, how many people will take it seriously?"

When Xu Lan thought about it, it seemed to make sense...

During the time she came to the capital, she often heard people in the capital scolding Lin Jiangnian.

Although there were a lot of scoldings in Linjiang City before, I never imagined that they would be so unscrupulous in the capital city...

"Then you don't plan to take revenge? This doesn't look like you?!" Xu Lan couldn't help but said.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Of course I have to take revenge, tooth for tooth!"

Xu Lan said matter-of-factly: "Since they sent people to assassinate you, then you should also send people to assassinate and take revenge, and return the favor!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Miss Xu in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Xu still enjoys grudges and is brave and resourceful!"

"Humph, that's not the case!"

Xu Lan raised her face slightly proudly.

"Xu Nuxia has unparalleled martial arts skills. How about taking revenge for this prince?"

"I won't go." Xu Lan refused without even thinking.

"Why?"

"Don't even think about tricking this girl into dying!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly and said angrily.

How could the person who could assassinate Prince Lin be an ordinary person?

If her three-legged cat skills are over, isn't that going to cost someone her head?

Although Miss Xu is naive, she is not stupid.

Mentioning this matter, Xu Lan quickly remembered something, and just as he was about to speak, a figure appeared in his sight.

"Huh?"

"Zhiyuan... girl?!"

"..."
