Chapter 358 The Eldest Princess Takes the Blame

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised when Li Piaomiao suddenly questioned him. She got the news so quickly?

It seems that I still underestimated the spy in the capital of this princess!

The princess seemed to see what Lin Jiangnian was thinking. She looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly: "Do you think you did it perfectly?"

Lin Jiangnian was slightly surprised and understood something in an instant. A smile appeared on his face: "Of course not. Didn't I still fail to hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

He was indeed a little surprised, but it was not unexpected.

Lin Jiangnian used the princess's token to leave the city in her name last night. Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the real owner. But what I didn't expect was that she got the news so quickly?

It was shorter than Lin Jiangnian expected.

The princess stood in the pavilion, dressed in white, lonely and proud. Her calm eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian. After a long look, she said coldly, "Why did you kill Zhao Changyuan?!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and saw that the princess was staring at him, as if she had seen through him.

Lin Jiangnian first had a look of doubt on his face: "Who is Zhao Changyuan?"

The princess looked at him coldly: "Why do you have to pretend?"

She exposed Lin Jiangnian with one glance.

Lin Jiangnian was silent, and after a moment, he sighed and said, "How could Your Highness think that I killed him?"

"What else?"

The princess spoke calmly.

No extra nonsense, as if she had already determined that Lin Jiangnian had killed him.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian said, "Your Highness, everything must be based on evidence... Without evidence, how can you determine that I killed someone?"

The princess still stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and she naturally heard the hidden meaning of Lin Jiangnian. After a moment, she said expressionlessly: "The people from the Secret Heaven Division came to see me!"

Lin Jiangnian was slightly surprised and stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on!

Zhao Changyuan was the great guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, and his death was more serious than Chen Feiyang's death!

In addition, the masters of the Secret Heaven Division were attacked one after another during this period, which is bound to arouse suspicion. If nothing unexpected happens, the Secret Heaven Division will do everything possible to investigate the truth!

Last night, Zhao Changyuan was assassinated outside the capital, and not long after Zhao Changyuan left the city overnight, Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su also left the city.

In the middle of the night, the whereabouts of the two people leaving the city will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Secret Heaven Division.

Last night, Lin Jiangnian left the city under the pretext of doing things for the eldest princess, so naturally, the Secret Heaven Division would suspect the eldest princess.

"So that's it."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized and figured out everything in an instant.

"It seems that I have caused trouble for the princess?"

Lin Jiangnian coughed: "The people of the Secret Department suspect that the princess killed Zhao Changyuan?"

The princess stared at him: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head to deny.

The idea of ​​killing Zhao Changyuan last night was purely a spur-of-the-moment idea, and Lin Jiangnian did not associate too much. But now thinking about it carefully, it seems that... the princess really took the blame for him!

Although the Secret Department did not dare to act rashly, it is probably suspected of the princess.

Lin Jiangnian left the city last night under her name, and he had a motive for suspicion, and the princess could not explain it clearly. In addition, the great protector's martial arts are extremely high and unfathomable, and few people in the capital can compete with him.

But it happened that the princess in front of him was also extremely skilled in martial arts, which just met the conditions of those few people!

In addition, the Secret Service was controlled by the eunuch in the capital, Chen Zhao and the Crown Prince had conflicts, and the Princess was a sibling of the Crown Prince, and the two had a good relationship...

It must be said that the Princess almost met all the motives for killing Zhao Changyuan. In this way, it was completely reasonable for the Secret Service to suspect her.

It must be said that this time, the Princess really took the blame for Lin Jiangnian.

"I have no intention of framing the Princess. What happened last night was purely coincidental..."

Li Piaomiao stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes without saying a word.

After a while, he said expressionlessly: "Why did you kill him?!"

At this point, it was useless for Lin Jiangnian to hide it. Although there was no evidence of what happened last night, the Princess knew that he had killed the person.

So, Lin Jiangnian sighed and said: "Of course it was to eliminate the followers of the Secret Service!"

Hearing this explanation, the Princess stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and there seemed to be a little suspicion on her cold face.

"Do you have a grudge with Mi Tiansi?"

"Not now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Better to take precautions."

The princess glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.

She saw through that Lin Jiangnian didn't tell the truth.

However, she didn't care about it!

In her eyes, Zhao Changyuan was just a dog raised by her father. If he died, he died!

"You owe me a favor."

The princess looked at Lin Jiangnian indifferently and spoke in a cold voice.

Mi Tiansi was afraid of Li Piaomiao's identity and didn't dare to investigate hard, but at the same time, Mi Tiansi would definitely suspect her.

Even if there was no evidence, the princess in front of her helped Lin Jiangnian attract most of the attention to a certain extent.

She didn't betray Lin Jiangnian, which was indeed a big favor.

"Thank you, princess, for your help!"

Lin Jiangnian bowed.

The princess stared at him and interrupted Lin Jiangnian: "How do you plan to repay me?"

"How does your highness want me to repay you?!"

Lin Jiangnian blinked.

I didn't expect the princess to speak so bluntly.

"What do you think?"

She stood quietly in the pavilion, looking down at him. His face was expressionless, but he had an aura of calmness and authority.

Lin Jiangnian approached slowly, walked into the pavilion, and came to the eldest princess. As he got closer, he could feel the coldness on the eldest princess' body more and more.

It was as if a chill came over her, causing the air around her to drop slightly. She still stood there quietly, looking at Lin Jiangnian indifferently.

Lin Jiangnian was sitting at the table in the pavilion. On the stone table in front of him was the 'Silver Moon Sword' that the eldest princess never left her body.

The sword lives up to its name, and has the same temperament as its master, filled with an indescribable chill.

Young Lin Jiang touched it lightly, and soon felt the coldness permeating the sword, as well as a hint of murderous intent.

In the pavilion, Li Miaomiao saw Lin Jiangnian's hand on her sword, and his cold eyes wrinkled slightly, imperceptibly.

The eyes are getting colder!

"It is indeed a good sword!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh. He raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who was wrapped in an indifferent temperament. He waved to her: "Why do you keep standing, Your Highness?"

The eldest princess said nothing and looked at him coldly.

"Don't you, Your Highness, want me to repay the favor?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed and said, "I have some news here. I wonder if His Highness is interested in it!"

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian's tone suddenly changed: "Aren't you curious, Your Highness, as to why I left the city overnight last night?"

Li Piaomiao stared at him and said nothing.

"Killing Zhao Changyuan was just a temporary idea. The real purpose of my going out of the city last night was to see what he was doing secretly in the middle of the night... Guess what happened?"

"I really discovered a big secret!"

Lin Jiangnian looked into Li Miaomiao's eyes with a hint of amusement on his face: "Guess what I found outside the capital?"

Li Piaomiao still didn't speak.

The face becomes colder!

She doesn't like this rhetorical style of communication.

But the guy in front of me seems to like this.

"Speak directly!"

The eldest princess said coldly.

Seeing the impatience on the eldest princess's face, Lin Jiangnian spoke leisurely and slowly.

"I discovered the Third Prince's private army outside the capital!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiangnian stared at the eldest princess's face for reaction.

I saw her expression was slightly startled, and then she became calm again.

Lin Jiangnian realized something instantly and narrowed his eyes: "Have you known this for a long time?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while, then said: "I guessed it!"

"Guess?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized.

Indeed, the purpose of the third prince staying in the capital has long been known to everyone.

Even Lin Jiangnian knew that the third prince probably had a private army, so how could the eldest princess not guess it?

"You haven't checked?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"He hid it very deep!"

The eldest princess spoke silently, then raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "How do you know?"

"Just like you, I'm guessing!"

The eldest princess stared at him, expressionless: "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Of course not."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly. The eldest princess in front of him already knew about the third prince's support of a private army. If nothing else, the prince might have known about it already, so it wouldn't be a secret at all!

"Judging from the recent signs outside the city, your imperial brother may take action in the near future."

Lin Jiangnian reminded me again: "I'm afraid he will cause chaos."

Hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.

Silent, didn't speak.

She had long known Li Yuan's ambition. From the beginning, his goal was to become the crown prince.

She had reminded the prince many times, but the prince always took into account the relationship between his brothers and was unwilling to completely break the relationship. He was even willing to give up his position as the crown prince.

This behavior is nothing short of stupid!

She tried to persuade the prince, but to no avail.

The prince has an indecisive character and is indeed not a qualified emperor.

But Li Yuan... is even more inappropriate!

Although the situation between North Korea and China is unstable, it has not yet reached that level of chaos. The prince suddenly fell ill some time ago, although there is no evidence to prove it. But the prince fell ill, which was unbelievable and had to arouse suspicion!

It was hard for her not to wonder if Li Yuan was behind this!

Does he want to raise a private army...

But as soon as the idea emerged, she gave up the idea in her mind.

Unlikely!

It would be difficult to achieve anything by relying solely on the private army under his command, let alone rebel!

Not to mention that the capital city is strictly defended and heavily stationed. There are imperial guards even inside and outside the palace, making it impregnable.

If Li Yuan comes by force, he won't get any benefits!

"One more thing!"

Seeing the eldest princess lowering her head and thinking deeply, Lin Jiangnian added: "When I followed Zhao Changyuan out of the city last night, I discovered a secret..."

"Zhao Changyuan has connections with the third prince's private army."

"Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"..."

After hearing the news, Li Miaomiao, who was still bowing his head in deep thought, suddenly raised his head.

"What did you say?!"

The eldest princess's reaction was within Lin Jiangnian's expectation.

He chuckled lightly and said: "The third prince has an affair with Chen Zhao. It is very possible that the two of them are colluding together!"

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's voice word by word, Li Miaomiao's expression changed slightly!

Obviously this news was beyond her expectation. It also made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Are you sure?"

She stared at Lin Jiangnian and asked.

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Why should I lie to you?"

The princess was silent.

She didn't speak again, and her face became more and more solemn.

She was not worried about the private army under the Third Prince. It was simply a fantasy to want to rebel with only a private army.

But if the Third Prince had the support of Chen Zhao, the situation would be completely different...

"Chen Zhao..."

The princess looked solemn.

Although this person was just an eunuch beside the emperor, no one dared to look down on him!

This person was favored by the emperor, controlled the Secret Heaven Division, and had many hawks and dogs under his command. He had a huge influence in the court and no one dared to look down on him!

From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for eunuchs to mess up politics. But there are very few people like Chen Zhao who control such a huge power.

More importantly, the emperor trusted this person very much, and his power in the palace was much higher than her and the prince.

The most fatal thing was...

If the Third Prince wanted to rebel, the biggest problem in front of him was how to quietly break through the defense of the capital and the imperial guards!

And Chen Zhao just happened to have the power to freely enter and exit the capital and the imperial city!

Thinking of this, the princess's expression changed slightly.

If this was not anticipated in advance, once caught off guard, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the princess who was thinking silently at the moment. Her face was still cold, but her face was more solemn.

Lin Jiangnian knew that the purpose of his coming here today had been achieved!

"Is the princess satisfied with this favor sent by this prince?"

The princess glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "This news is very important!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said: "As long as the princess is satisfied, in this way, we are even between you and me?"

The princess looked at him and said nothing.

After a while, she nodded expressionlessly.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

The purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and Lin Jiangnian got up and prepared to leave.

He was somewhat uncomfortable with being with this princess.

She was too cold!

Although she looks pretty, her cold appearance, like a lump of ice, is hard to arouse sexual interest.

It would be better to go back and tease Xiaozhu and bully Zhiyuan.

Besides, this princess doesn't understand the ways of the world at all. He, the prince of Lin Wang, came all the way here, but he didn't even have a cup of tea to drink!

This is how to treat guests... Whoever marries her will be so unlucky?

Excuse me!

Lin Jiangnian stood up and said goodbye, turning to leave the courtyard.

The princess stood there, watching Lin Jiangnian's figure go away quietly, without saying a word.

...

Lin Jiangnian was about to go back. After leaving the courtyard, he had just walked a few steps and ran into a figure.

A young woman in a brocade dress appeared in Lin Jiangnian's sight. When she saw Lin Jiangnian, she was slightly stunned, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Your Highness?!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the familiar-looking girl in front of him, confused.

"You are...Jinxiu?!"

"..."

Thank you Xiao Dingdang for the reward!!!
