Chapter 280 Long Time No See

As soon as the words fell, Zhiyuan, who had just returned to normal, blushed again on her fair and delicate face, and her eyes evaded in panic.

He lowered his head, his delicate body stiffened slightly, and did not dare to meet her aunt's eyes.

Sitting there, like a girl who had made a mistake and was a little at a loss.

"Little, aunt..."

"No need to quibble, I was just planning to look for you, but I accidentally saw you in the backyard."

Jiang Yuxiang sighed. After sending Xu Lan away, she came over to look for Zhiyuan. She didn't see Zhiyuan in the room, so she looked around and accidentally saw a scene in the backyard that made her blush and heartbeat.

Under the broad view...

Today's young people are really shameless!

And that brat... actually bullied Zhi Yuan like this.

There are so many tricks!

Jiang Yuxiang thought angrily in his heart, then looked at Zhiyuan, who had his head lowered and was almost ashamed. He walked up and sat next to her and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay. My aunt just pretends she didn't see it and won't tell anyone." of."

Zhiyuan lowered her head and remained silent.

The snow-white profile exposed under the hair was already blood red.

Stunning red!

The pink is astonishing!

Even his body was slightly stiff, as if he didn't know how to react.

"However, you should be more restrained in the house from now on... After all, you are in the house, and it won't be good if someone sees it. If you really can't hold it in anymore, you can go back to your room and talk about it..."

At this point, Jiang Yuxiang paused again, and then said, "Don't be too spoiled, don't let him bully you so easily, you know?"

She could see clearly that it was the brat who forced Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan was such an independent child, but she didn't expect to be forced to do something she didn't want to do by that brat... That brat was too pushy.

I have to warn Zhiyuan carefully not to be eaten to death by that brat.

Zhiyuan still lowered his head, biting his lower lip, and nodded his head lightly like a junior who was receiving criticism and lessons.

I seem to agree with my aunt's statement.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

After instilling in Zhi Yuan the idea that girls should protect themselves, Jiang Yuxiang got down to business and said, "I just talked to Xiao Lan and quietly inquired about it. Zhi Yuan, I'm afraid your guess is not correct." wrong……"

"Xiao Lan, you probably know some inside information about Jiang Nian's identity!"

Zhiyuan, who originally had his head lowered, was startled for a moment when he heard his aunt's words, and then slowly raised his eyes, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

Jiang Yuxiang's tone was slightly serious, and she said in a deep voice: "I tried to test Xiao Lan a little bit, but I didn't expect that Xiao Lan showed a panicked look... Although it was only for a moment, she concealed it very well, but there is indeed something wrong with her reaction, I'm afraid there is something wrong with her reaction. What are you hiding from me..."

"She probably knows some secrets about Jiang Nian's identity."

Now that Lin Jiangnian's identity has been confirmed, he is no longer the prince Lin Wang he was before. But Zhiyuan and Jiang Yuxiang knew nothing about Lin Jiangnian's past identity and what happened that year.

Not long ago, Zhiyuan mentioned that Xu Lan, a childhood sweetheart who spent time with Prince Lin, might know something. She was the most familiar with Prince Lin, and was the easiest to detect Lin Jiangnian's changes.

So, Jiang Yuxiang took advantage of today's meeting to test it secretly. Sure enough, Xu Lan already knew that there was something wrong with Lin Jiangnian's identity.

Judging from her reaction, it is very possible that she even knows some secret truth.

"I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't inquire further. However, it is already certain."

Jiang Yuxiang looked solemn and serious: "I just don't know. What does she know? Is she helping Jiang Nian hide his identity, or..."

"Know some deeper secret truth?!"

Zhiyuan remained silent, lowering his eyes and thinking about something.

It is certain that Xu Lan is indeed hiding something, but if Xu Lan is unwilling to tell, it will not help.

What's more important is...

Jiang Yuxiang raised his eyes and looked at Zhiyuan: "I wonder if Jiang Nian knows his identity now, and..."

"Why did he hide it and appear in Prince Lin's Mansion?"

"What's the purpose again?!"

To Jiang Yuxiang, these seem to be mysteries.

Lin Jiangnian was indeed her sister's child, this was absolutely true. But why did he appear in Prince Lin's Mansion by hiding his identity?

Then, what about the original Prince Lin?

Why will he die again?

Behind Jiang Nian, what force is controlling everything?

What's the purpose? !

After Zhiyuan thought for a long time, he slowly raised his eyes and shook his head gently: "He probably doesn't know."

"Um?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at her: "Why?"

"Feel."

Zhiyuan spoke calmly, recalling in his mind every moment of their relationship with Lin Jiangnian when he came to the palace, starting from the day he realized something was wrong with Lin Jiangnian.

Looking back now, although Lin Jiangnian's disguise was very good at that time, it did have many flaws.

He deliberately pretended to be Prince Lin in front of everyone, and he probably didn't know his own identity.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no need to hide anything!

Lin Jiangnian, who was so powerless at the time, would never have been able to do this, almost replacing the fake Prince Lin with the real one. There must be someone secretly helping behind him.

Why was he so aware of Prince Lin's habits?

Also, who is the instigator?

A strange yet familiar figure appeared in Zhiyuan's mind for no apparent reason.

The figure of a woman in a fiery red dress gradually became clear in her mind.

Zhiyuan was slightly in a trance.

"Paper Kite?"

Jiang Yuxiang's voice pulled Zhiyuan out of her trance, "What's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Zhiyuan hesitated and shook his head slightly.

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at her and sighed: "Zhiyuan, it seems I can only rely on you now."

"I?"

Zhiyuan raised his eyes slightly blankly.

Jiang Yuxiang looked at her seriously and said, "Since Jiang Nian still doesn't know his identity, it's not appropriate for us to alert the snake..."

"Currently we don't know what force behind it was that instigated Jiang Nian to sneak into Prince Lin's Mansion, but their purpose must be for Prince Lin's Mansion..."

"What exactly happened to my sister back then, why her child is missing, and whether Lin Hengzhong noticed anything, we are not sure about this..."

"If I tell Jiang Nian the truth directly now, and alert the people who control Jiang Nian behind the scenes, I'm afraid the gain will outweigh the loss. So, I can only rely on you..."

Jiang Yuxiang looked at Zhiyuan and said, "Zhiyuan, you currently have the best relationship with Jiang Nian, and you are also the person he trusts and is the closest to. She trusts you the most and will not put up a defense against you..."

Zhiyuan was silent, she understood the meaning of her aunt's words.

It is also clear that she is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.

only……

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "He may not trust me."

"How come?"

Jiang Yuxiang was confused: "He likes you so much, how can he not trust you?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Does the guy like her?

Maybe...

She could indeed feel from Lin Jiangnian that the guy was special to her... he probably liked her.

Just, do you trust...

Zhiyuan was silent.

She wasn't sure.

Liking is one thing, but trusting is another.

Even the closest couple may not dare to say trust, let alone the two of them?

Since Lin Jiangnian appeared in Prince Lin's Mansion pretending to be Prince Lin's son, he would definitely be wary of anyone, even if he seems to have a good relationship with her now...

But once the most important secrets are involved, even the people around you won't be able to reveal them easily.

What's more, until now, Zhiyuan has not completely seen through Lin Jiangnian.

There are too many secrets in him.

It is this kind of thought that makes Zhiyuan feel unsure.

Jiang Yuxiang looked at Zhiyuan and quickly realized what she was thinking. He sighed softly, grabbed her little hand, held it tightly, and comforted: "Since that guy likes you, how can he not trust you?"

"After being together for so long, you should be able to feel that Jiang Nian is not a bad person, right?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Since he is not a bad person, it proves that he is not bad in nature. If you expose his identity directly, he may be wary of you and distrust you at first, but he will never hurt you..."

"And you are also the person most likely to make him let down his guard!"

"No matter what, he is my sister's child. He is the real Prince Lin... and he will also be your future husband, Zhiyuan."

"Perhaps he was deceived and manipulated into a puppet who sneaked into Prince Lin's Mansion. But as long as you are here, I believe that you can make him find his way back..."

Zhiyuan listened quietly and nodded slightly.

"If it really doesn't work, you can also..."

As if thinking of something, Jiang Yuxiang leaned into Zhiyuan's ear again and whispered something.

The next second, Zhiyuan's eyes froze, and her pretty face instantly turned red again, with shame emerging.

"Little, aunt, I, I..."

"Isn't that guy always lusting after your body? I don't believe he can really hold it back..."

"Auntie doesn't believe it anymore. This guy is really willing to let you go and choose someone else!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered again and again, with a firm tone.

"..."

Night falls.

In the courtyard.

Xiaozhu walked out of the room and draped a coat from behind on Lin Jiangnian in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, it's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold!"

Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Xiaozhu's face flushed red, and a pair of smart eyes flickering in the dim courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian saw this and took Xiaozhu into his arms.

"Your Highness is not cold, Xiaozhu must be quite cold, right?"

Being held in His Highness's arms, she felt the powerful and hot breath coming from His Highness's chest and arms, wrapping her petite body. The familiar warmth and smell made the little maid a little addicted.

She buried her obedient head in His Highness's arms, took a few deep breaths, and said softly, "Yes."

"That's good, let His Highness help you warm up."

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the little maid in his arms, and the big hands he held began to restlessly roam around the little maid's body.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... don't... no, don't..."

The little maid's delicate body stiffened slightly, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she cried out shyly for mercy.

However, it was of no use.

After a while, the little maid went limp and fell into His Highness's arms. Her little face was red and hot, and she was very shy. Her little cherry mouth was slightly opened, and she lost a trace of strength, letting Lin Jiangnian do whatever he wanted.

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the lustful little maid in his arms, feeling a little excited in his heart.

He lowered his head slightly, kissed the little maid's pink and jade face, and then reached out and slapped the little maid's slightly sizable buttocks: "Okay, go help His Highness prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes!"

The maid gradually came back to her senses, her eyes were lively and shy, she bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and dared not raise it, hummed and turned around and fled.

She trotted all the way.

But no matter how you look at it, the trotting posture seems a little weak.

Lin Jiangnian watched quietly and sighed.

There are more important things to do tonight, the little maid...

Let's talk about it tomorrow night!

...

In the bathroom.

Mist curled.

Lin Jiangnian took off his clothes and soaked in the pool, feeling the touch of hot water wrapped around his whole body, which was extremely comfortable.

The hot breath dredged the meridians all over the body. Sitting in the water, as the mind method in the body was running, the hot water in the bath seemed to flow slowly along the meridians.

There was a mysterious illusion!

I wanted to take the opportunity of soaking in the hot bath to let my brain empty and think about the next plan.

But for some reason, Lin Jiangnian suddenly recalled the scene in the Zhao Mansion when he accidentally caught the young lady of the Zhao family bathing.

In the room filled with the same warm water mist, in the bathtub, the naked snow-white figure caught a glimpse.

It kept appearing!

The snow-white graceful figure soaked in the water could not be dispelled for a long time.

Lin Jiangnian's breathing was a little rapid, and the Xuanyang Heart Method in his body seemed to be running out of control.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Jiangnian sat cross-legged in the bathtub, circulating his internal energy throughout his body, and then gradually calmed down.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, there was a sound of the door being pushed open behind him.

The sound of the door being pushed open was very light, so light that it was almost imperceptible, but Lin Jiangnian, who was practicing the Heart Method at this moment, had extremely sharp facial features and heard it clearly.

Who was it?

Xiaozhu?

Or...

the kite who came quietly last time and ran away in shame and refused to admit it?

Lin Jiangnian did not look back, and continued to sit cross-legged in the bathtub to calm the disordered breath in his body.

There were no footsteps in the room.

Silence!

Strangely, even a little quiet.

However, Lin Jiangnian vaguely sensed that there seemed to be another figure in the room, slowly approaching him.

The steps were very light, so light that they were almost imperceptible, as if deliberately concealed.

In the entire palace, there was only one person with such strength.

Only Zhiyuan!

Lin Jiangnian's mouth corners slightly raised, and slowly finished his work. Still sitting in the bathtub, motionless.

The figure behind him appeared silently behind Lin Jiangnian, stopped, and did not move.

It seemed to be silent for a moment, and a slender jade hand slowly stretched out towards Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian, who had been facing away and seemed to be immersed in the hot bath without noticing, grabbed the jade hand that had just stretched out behind him with lightning speed.

Small, silky and a little cold.

The woman's hand.

Somewhat familiar.

It was Zhiyuan without a doubt!

The next second, Lin Jiangnian pulled hard.

The figure behind him seemed to have not expected Lin Jiangnian to suddenly jump up, and was caught off guard by the sudden force and lost his balance. He stumbled and fell headfirst into the bathtub.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and in panic, she tried to hold the edge of the bathtub with her other hand, but before she could do anything.

Another big hand skillfully hugged her slender waist and carried her into the bathtub.

"Plop!"

"Haha, since you are here, why don't you take a bath with His Highness?!"

The plan succeeded, and the delicate body in his arms was instantly wrapped in hot water. Lin Jiangnian looked down triumphantly: "Little Kite, you still want to sneak attack me... Hey?!"

Through the steaming fog, Lin Jiangnian saw the figure struggling in the bathtub at the moment.

What he saw was a blood-red color.

Red is stunning!

No, it's a red dress.

It looks familiar.

Under the red skirt, the beautiful and plump body, wrapped in hot water, was looming.

A stunningly beautiful face, a little embarrassed, a little flustered, and a little angry, staring at Lin Jiangnian fiercely.

"Liu, Liu Su?!!"

"???"
