Chapter 295 Identity Confession
"Who are you?"
Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes and spoke slowly.
The voice was very soft, so soft that it was subtle, with a hint of rapid trembling, as if the breathing had not yet calmed down.
It was even a little more gentle than before.
But it was deafening to Lin Jiangnian's ears.
He was stunned in place, and his hands, which were still trying to undress, froze.
Silence.
In the room, it was strangely quiet in an instant.
The breathing between each other rose and fell.
Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and looked into Zhiyuan's eyes.
The clear eyes in the past were filled with a bit of lust that had not yet subsided, and the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the eyes were filled with the tender shyness of a girl, but they stared at Lin Jiangnian.
As if to get an answer!
Lin Jiangnian was stunned in place, his heart was in turmoil!
Everything turned upside down!
Zhiyuan, why did you suddenly ask this?
Or...
She already knew something?
A short, deathly silence.
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the girl under him, forcing a smile on his face: "Why do you ask that suddenly?"
The blush on Zhiyuan's face faded slightly, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Jiangnian from beginning to end, gently pursing her shiny red lips.
"Why do you want to pretend to be him?"
As soon as these words came out, the last bit of luck in Lin Jiangnian's heart completely dissipated.
Sure enough!
She had already determined that Lin Jiangnian's identity was fake!
Perhaps, she had known it for a long time?
Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan under him, silent for a long time, with an indescribable emotion on his face.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
There will not be two exactly the same people in the world, no matter how similar they are, no matter how well they disguise themselves, there will always be differences.
And Zhiyuan is the closest person to Lin Jiangnian now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the person who knows him best. The two of them are together day and night, how could Lin Jiangnian always remain vigilant and alert?
How could Zhiyuan not find any clues?
However, Zhiyuan never showed any signs. From the time she entered the Lin Wang Mansion until tonight, she had never had any doubts about Lin Jiangnian's identity.
So much so that Lin Jiangnian once thought that Zhiyuan had never doubted his identity...
It turned out that he had underestimated her after all!
Lin Jiangnian sighed and spoke after a long time: "When did you know?"
He did not deny it again.
Zhiyuan was cautious by nature. She suddenly asked tonight, obviously having already determined that Lin Jiangnian was impersonating the identity of the Lin Wang's son.
Lin Jiangnian did not quibble anymore!
And...
He stared at the girl with a flushed face and a delicate body under him. He believed that Zhiyuan would not harm him.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to get on this bed tonight.
Hearing that Lin Jiangnian did not deny or quibble, Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly.
"I guessed it a long time ago."
She took a deep breath.
Lin Jiangnian was silent: "Why didn't you expose me before?"
"I'm waiting for you to confess."
Lin Jiangnian: "..."
"Since I'm pretending to be the prince of Lin, how could I confess to you?"
Confess on my own initiative?
Even though Zhiyuan and he are very close now, he has long planned to keep the most important secret of Lin Jiangnian to himself for the rest of his life.
If Zhiyuan hadn't suddenly exposed it tonight, Lin Jiangnian would never have revealed a single word.
How could he be so stupid as to confess on his own initiative?
Zhiyuan turned his head slightly, his face normal: "You, really intend to keep it a secret from me forever?"
But in his gentle tone, there seemed to be a bit of anger.
"Isn't this still not hidden from you?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "How did you find out?"
Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "Do you think the prince didn't find out?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiangnian's heart was shocked, and the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared completely.
"The prince... knows?!"
Even he himself didn't notice that his voice was trembling slightly.
Prince Lin, did he know that he was impersonating the Prince of Lin?
When this thought came to his mind, Lin Jiangnian could no longer sit still.
If only Zhiyuan discovered this secret, Lin Jiangnian would not be too worried. Zhiyuan was already his, and even if the fake identity was exposed, Lin Jiangnian was confident that he could persuade Zhiyuan to rebel and let her keep this secret for him.
But if even the Prince of Lin knew the secret of his impersonation of the Prince of Lin...
This situation would be completely different!
This is really...a disaster is coming!
As if she noticed Lin Jiangnian's sudden nervousness, Zhiyuan's eyes seemed to have a hint of inexplicable joy.
"Are you scared?"
Nonsense!
Who wouldn't be scared? !
Lin Jiangnian was about to speak, but he saw Zhiyuan looking relaxed and staring at him quietly.
"What is going on here?!"
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled and stared at Zhiyuan's eyes.
Why didn't she have any emotional reaction when she found out about his fake identity?
She didn't seem angry?
She also didn't seem... worried?
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Zhiyuan stared into his eyes: "Who are you?"
"Why did you pretend to be the prince of Lin?"
Seeing Zhiyuan asking again, Lin Jiangnian was silent: "This is a long story..."
"You can talk slowly."
Zhiyuan stared at him for a while, gently pushed him, but didn't push him. His face was slightly red: "You get up first."
Lin Jiangnian didn't move.
"Don't you want to know the reason?"
Zhiyuan glanced at him.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "You know?"
"Get up first!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan under him, realizing that she might want to tell him something tonight.
Zhiyuan, she must know some secrets!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian slowly climbed away from Zhiyuan, and Zhiyuan struggled to prop up her body and sat up, taking two deep breaths, only feeling weak all over, and an inexplicable heat.
She glared at Lin Jiangnian with her beautiful eyes, and quickly tidied her clothes, pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself in the quilt, revealing only a beautiful face with a blush, staring at Lin Jiangnian beside the bed.
"Go ahead."
Lin Jiangnian was lying on the bed, and he recovered a little bit of his thoughts, and saw Zhiyuan staring at him. In the dark room, the eyes were bright and energetic.
Lin Jiangnian also sat up immediately, facing Zhiyuan, and the two looked at each other.
"This matter has to start from nearly a year ago, that is, at the beginning of this spring..." After a moment, Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "Do you still remember Liu Su?" Hearing Lin Jiangnian suddenly mention Liu Su, Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Lin Jiangnian. Then, she realized something. "Is it related to her?!" Lin Jiangnian nodded: "You should have known that she is a member of the Heavenly God Religion, right?" Zhiyuan nodded silently, staring at Lin Jiangnian, gradually becoming more and more solemn. "She is the saint of the Heavenly God Religion. She had sneaked into the Lin Wang Mansion a long time ago..." Lin Jiangnian sorted out his thoughts, took a deep breath, and asked: "Do you remember the night when the Lin Wang Prince was attacked in the temple outside the city at the beginning of this spring?" Zhiyuan naturally remembered it clearly. That time, the Lin Wang Prince ignored her dissuasion and insisted on going out, but was attacked on the way back! By the time Lin Kong led the prince's personal army to the rescue, all the guards around Prince Lin were killed, leaving Lin Jiangnian alone, who hid in a jar in the temple and escaped.
Zhiyuan also knew that it was Lin Jiangnian who was rescued back to Prince Lin's mansion that time.
"What about him?"
Zhiyuan's tone was calm, as if asking about an insignificant person.
"Dead."
Lin Jiangnian's answer was also very straightforward, he knew who Zhiyuan was asking about.
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Although she had guessed it in her heart, Zhiyuan remained silent.
After a while, she seemed to realize something: "That night, she was there too?!"
"Did she do it?"
Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian with a serious look.
This was something she didn't know. There was actually a Tianshen Cult in the temple that night!
Behind all this, could it be related to the Tianshen Cult? !
"She's here, but she didn't kill him."
Zhiyuan stared at him for a while, then said, "Go on."
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan and shook his head gently, "Actually, I don't know who I am either."
"What do you mean?!"
Zhiyuan was slightly stunned.
"That night, when I woke up in the temple, everyone was dead... including the real Prince of Lin!"
"I don't know who I am, and I don't know why I'm there..."
"When I was about to escape, Liu Su suddenly arrived with her men... When she found out that Prince of Lin was dead, she was extremely angry..."
"Then, she found me and caught me. She was surprised to find that I looked exactly like the dead Prince of Lin, so she tried her best to force me to listen to her and pretend to be Prince of Lin to sneak into the Prince of Lin's mansion to gain your trust..."
Lin Jiangnian slowly told what happened in the ruined temple that night, and after he finished, he felt relaxed.
This is his biggest secret, and it is also the knot in his heart that he has been hiding until now. Now that he has confessed to Zhiyuan, he feels inexplicably comfortable.
It felt like something that had been suppressed for a long time was suddenly released in an instant.
Refreshing!
Then a faint sense of confusion came over my heart...
After listening to Lin Jiangnian's detailed description, Zhiyuan fell into a long period of contemplation.
After a while, she suddenly stared at Lin Jiangnian, "You, don't know who you are?!"
"Yes!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded.
Who is he?
Can he tell Zhiyuan that he doesn't belong to this world?
Of course not.
It is likely that Zhiyuan will not believe it even if he tells it.
More importantly, Lin Jiangnian remembers very clearly that when he was rescued and woke up in the Linwang Mansion, there was another incomplete memory in his mind.
This means that he may have an identity in this world.
More likely, that was the real him.
And now he seems to have awakened some memories?
However, it is useless to tell Zhiyuan these.
Zhiyuan frowned and looked at him: "No impression at all?"
"No."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "If I knew, I would have found some clues long ago."
Even Liu Su couldn't find any information. Lin Jiangnian appeared in the temple that night, as if he appeared out of thin air, without any signs.
Very strange!
Zhiyuan was silent.
Lin Jiangnian's answer did not solve her doubts.
It can be confirmed that Lin Jiangnian is indeed the son of Princess Lin.
However, why did Princess Lin leave him outside after giving birth to twins?
Why did Lin Jiangnian appear in the temple that night?
I think it may be related to the third force that appeared in the temple that night?
Zhiyuan remembered that three forces appeared in the temple that night. Zhiyuan had suspected that the third force was from another group of people who assassinated Prince Lin.
Now it seems that the emergence of that force may have a deep connection with Lin Jiangnian.
As for Liu Su...
This is the fourth force that unexpectedly appeared!
Lin Jiangnian's return to Prince Lin's Mansion seemed like an accident, but it also seemed like everything was planned.
Prince Lin happened to be traveling and was assassinated!
The third force happened to appear and kept Lin Jiangnian in the temple.
Liu Su, who happened to appear shortly afterwards, sent Lin Jiangnian back to Prince Lin's Mansion on the grounds of threatening Lin Jiangnian.
It all seems like a coincidence!
But upon careful reflection, these coincidences are too much of a coincidence!
Zhiyuan vaguely felt that everything behind this seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand...
Thinking of this, Zhiyuan's expression became more solemn.
After a while, she thought of something again: "What is the purpose of Liu Su asking you to pretend to enter Prince Lin's Mansion?"
"Approach Lin Hengzhong with the intention of assassinating the prince."
"Just that?"
Zhiyuan frowned, as if he didn't believe it.
She went to such great lengths to force Lin Jiangnian to 'pretend' to be Prince Lin's Crown Prince and sneak into Prince Lin's Mansion just to assassinate Prince Lin?
Lin Jiangnian hesitated and said, "She is looking for the Xuanyang Picture."
"Xuanyang Picture?"
Zhiyuan was startled for a moment, and then quickly remembered something: "When you asked me about the whereabouts of Xuanyang Tu... was it to help her find it?"
She remembered that Lin Jiangnian had mentioned the Xuanyang Picture to her when she was at Prince Lin's Mansion.
It turns out that it was to help that woman...
Faced with Zhiyuan's questioning gaze, Lin Jiang young coughed and nodded.
"She forced me to pretend to be Prince Lin's Crown Prince and enter Prince Lin's Mansion. In addition to assassinating the Prince, I came here for Xuanyang Tu."
"What does she want Xuanyangtu to do?"
"Not sure."
Zhiyuan stared at him: "She didn't tell you?"
"No."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said, "However, I think it must be related to the Tianshen Sect."
Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said expressionlessly: "Did you give it to her?"
"Not found."
Lin Jiangnian sighed.
He searched the entire Prince Lin's Mansion, but could not find any information about Xuanyang Tu.
"If you find it, you will give it to her?"
Zhiyuan stared at him with a cold expression, and under the dark pupils, there seemed to be some... emotions?
"Won't."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head decisively: "I was just making a stopgap measure at that time. Xuanyang Tu is a rare thing in the world. If I got it, how could I give it to her?"
At that time, Lin Jiangnian was indeed planning to find Xuanyang Tu and steal it for himself.
Zhiyuan looked away slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then asked: "How did she threaten you?"
"Poison!"
"Why did she leave without getting the Xuanyang Picture?"
"...It should be that the assassination of King Lin failed and he went back to resume his life."
"Then the poison on your body..."
"It's already solved!"
"How to solve it?"
Facing Zhiyuan's question, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously recalled the original detoxification process...
"I found the antidote in Ruyi Tower."
Lin Jiang young coughed.
Unexpectedly, Zhiyuan stared into his eyes: "Since she poisoned you, how could she not calculate that you would go to Ruyi Tower to find the antidote? In this case, the poison she gave you must not be an ordinary poison, right?" "
Cold sweat appeared on Lin Jiangnian's back...
The guess was really accurate.
What Liu Su gave him wasn't poison, but the legendary Miao Jiang's 'Love Gu'!
As for the detoxification method, of course, this is something that cannot be discussed with Zhiyuan.
"This is very troublesome to explain... Anyway, the poison in my body has indeed been cured..."
Young Lin Jiang coughed and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you haven't told me yet..."
"How did you find out?"
"Also, did King Lin already know this?!"
Lin Jiangnian thought of this serious problem.
Suddenly interrupted by Lin Jiangnian, Zhiyuan glanced at him and nodded lightly: "Yes."
For a moment, Lin Jiangnian broke out in cold sweat.
But he soon realized something was wrong... Since King Lin knew that he was the fake Prince Lin, why didn't he expose it?
Or even any reaction? !
Could it be...
An incredible idea suddenly emerged from Lin Jiangnian's mind!
But the next second, Zhiyuan glanced at him and slowly told him another news that shocked him even more.
"You and the deceased Prince Lin are actually twin brothers. You..."
"It's the other prince whom Prince Lin and Princess Lin left behind back then!"
"??!!!"
"..."
