Chapter 366 Something Is Wrong

At this moment, Li Piaomiao's expression was still cold. However, the pair of eyes that had always been calm, had a little more doubt.

She looked at Lin Jiangnian, then at Zhao Xi, frowning.

The conversation between the two... is not right!

Thank you?

Help?

Revenge?

Li Piaomiao's eyes became more suspicious, flowing between the two.

What happened to the two?

"This matter is a long story..."

Lin Jiangnian hesitated, glanced at Zhao Xi, and asked her opinion.

Zhao Xi also adjusted his mood at this time, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Piaomiao, do you still remember the Xu family tragedy?"

Li Piaomiao frowned slightly, expressionless, and nodded.

She had some impression of this matter, which was even bigger a few months ago.

The Secret Department suddenly found out that Xu Zheng, the Minister of War, colluded with foreign countries and had the intention of rebellion. The evidence was conclusive, and the Xu family was imprisoned. After an imperial edict was issued, the Xu family was executed.

This incident caused a great impact some time ago.

Xu Zheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was an official of the Six Ministries and had a high status in the court, but he still could not escape the clutches of the Secret Heaven Division! From the time when the Xu family was confiscated to the execution of the whole family, the interval was too short that no one reacted.

As for the evidence of the Xu family's rebellion, although it seems to have been confirmed, after careful consideration, there seem to be many places that are worth scrutinizing and doubting!

However, before these were found out, the Xu family was wiped out!

This incident shocked many people in the capital a little, and made countless officials more afraid of the Secret Heaven Division!

Many people understood that this was Chen Zhao's means of killing chickens to scare monkeys and intimidating the court.

Chen Zhao was trusted by the emperor, held the imperial edict given by the emperor, and controlled the terrifying iron-blooded organization of the Secret Heaven Division. Almost no one in the capital dared to oppose him.

Even the officials of the Six Ministries said that they would be executed, and the other officials, big and small, were already scared. Who would dare to provoke?

No one wants to end up with a tragic death and the extermination of the whole family by accident!

At this time, Li Piaomiao heard Zhao Xi suddenly mention the Xu family, her expression was slightly condensed, she was stunned, and gradually realized something. She turned her head and looked at Lin Jiangnian, and her cold eyes gradually became more suspicious.

She wanted to say something but stopped.

In the end, she said nothing.

But Lin Jiangnian understood what she wanted to express from her eyes.

When they met two days ago, the princess asked Lin Jiangnian why he wanted to kill Zhao Changyuan. At that time, Lin Jiangnian's answer was perfunctory, and the princess did not take it to heart.

But today, after hearing what Zhao Xi said, the princess thought about it carefully, and she couldn't help but doubt... Lin Jiangnian killed Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang, was it for Zhao Xi?

He had no grudges with Mi Tiansi, but he took such a risk to kill Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang... This is very unreasonable!

Is he helping Zhao Xi to get revenge? !

"..."

"The Xu family is full of loyal and brave people, but they were framed by that Chen Yangou, resulting in the execution of the entire family. Even the only remaining young girl in the Xu family did not escape the murderous hands of the Mi Tiansi!"

When mentioning this, Zhao Xi's face showed indignation. She gritted her teeth and said, "I originally wanted to avenge Sister Xu, but unfortunately my personal ability is too weak..."

Although she is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao, it is difficult for her to seek justice for the Xu family.

Even her father would be a little afraid of the Mi Tiansi. What's more, Chen Yangou has many masters under his command, and even the martial arts of the Mi Tiansi's accomplices and protectors are not weak.

Relying on herself, it is difficult to take revenge.

"Fortunately, the prince helped me, giving me the opportunity to personally avenge Sister Xu. Sister Xu's spirit in heaven can rest in peace!"

As she said, Zhao Xi looked at Lin Jiangnian. In her slightly red eyes, gratitude emerged.

At the same time, Li Piaomiao's cold eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian at the same time. Suddenly being stared at by the two women, Lin Jiangnian had a bad feeling.

Especially Li Piaomiao's eyes, although there was still no emotion.

But for some reason, I always felt... something was wrong!

Lin Jiangnian coughed and waved his hand: "Miss Zhao, there is no need to be polite, it's just a small favor!"

After a pause, Lin Jiangnian said: "Chen Feiyang is guilty of meddling in other people's affairs. He deserves death. As the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, he will threaten this prince sooner or later. This prince killed him just to prevent it from happening... As for helping Miss Zhao to avenge, it was just a matter of convenience, Miss Zhao doesn't need to take it to heart..."

"Even if Miss Zhao has no grudge against him, this prince will still kill him!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke in a loud voice.

Lin Jiangnian's real purpose is to help Chen Changqing control the power of the Secret Heaven Division. As for Zhao Xi, it was just a favor for her!

Zhao Xi was grateful, and if she wanted to repay her... next time!

The situation today is not suitable!

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Li Piaomiao and saw that she was still looking at him calmly without saying a word.

Cold, calm eyes.

As if seeing through everything, it made people feel an indescribable chill.

"Eat, eat!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and changed the subject.

At this time, Zhao Xi took a few deep breaths and gradually adjusted her emotions.

The tragedy of the Xu family was something she had always been worried about. It was extremely difficult to take revenge now.

The four guardians of the Mi Tian Division all died, and the Mi Tian Division suffered heavy losses and its prestige was greatly reduced. This was a heavy blow to Chen Zhao in the palace.

Of course, Zhao Xi did not forget. The real murderer behind the extermination of the Xu family was Chen Zhao!

He was the source of all these tragedies.

But, wanting to kill Chen Zhao... isn't that simple.

As if thinking of something, Zhao Xi suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian.

"His Royal Highness?"

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up.

"Miss Zhao, what's wrong?"

"I heard from sister Piaomiao, did you enter the palace last time?"

Zhao Xi suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian was puzzled as to why Zhao Xi mentioned this matter.

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Li Miaomiao, only to see Li Miaomiao look at Zhao Xi expressionlessly.

"It does happen!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded and did not deny it.

"Your Highness, have you seen Chen Zhao in the palace?"

Zhao Xi asked.

"Not..."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. The last time he went into the palace to see His Highness the Crown Prince, he left the palace directly after meeting him without seeing Chen Zhao.

However, I did see Chen Feiyang who hurriedly entered the palace at that time. It was also that day that Lin Jiangnian set up an ambush and captured Chen Feiyang alive.

Zhao Xi suddenly sighed softly, his eyes a little gloomy: "It seems that His Highness has indeed forgotten what he promised me."

Lin Jiangnian was slightly startled when Leng Buding saw Zhao Xi's sudden change in expression and tone. Some people didn't realize it. Why did this Miss Zhao's tone suddenly become resentful and aggrieved?

"Miss Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Jiangnian was thinking, what did he promise Zhao Xi?

But Zhao Xi sighed quietly: "Your Highness, it seems that you have really forgotten!"

Looking into Zhao Xi's faint eyes, his cold face was fair and delicate, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked so charming that I felt pity for him.

I have to say, it's very exciting.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, thinking about what he promised her?

In the impression, the only thing he promised to Miss Zhao was... to kill Chen Zhao?

etc!

At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Lin Jiangnian raised his head and looked at Zhao Xi, as if realizing something: "Last time...could it be you?"

With that said, Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Li Miaomiao who was standing aside: "Your Highness, the Princess, last time, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Lin Jiangnian always had a question in his mind.

Last time, His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly wanted to see him. Logically speaking, he only wanted to see Lin Jiangnian once, and there was no need to go into a big fight. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince receives the Prince of the feudal lord, it should be in the East Palace.

As the son of a feudal lord, Lin Jiangnian was not qualified to enter and leave the palace at will.

But His Highness the Prince went through the trouble of summoning Lin Jiangnian into the palace. However, after entering the palace, except for meeting the Queen, nothing else happened.

This is something Lin Jiangnian has always found strange.

Hearing Zhao Xi's words now, Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered the day before meeting His Highness the Crown Prince. He had just met Zhao Xi, and at that time, Zhao Xi happened to mention... that he would find a way to let him meet Chen Zhao!

Could it be...

Was all this done by Zhao Xi?

Sure enough, when Li Miaomiao heard Lin Jiangnian's question, she turned to look at Zhao Xi next to her and said nothing.

And Zhao Xi also said quietly at this time: "Yes, I begged sister Pianmiao to let her bring you into the palace..."

"I thought you would take this opportunity to find out the details about Chen Zhao, but I didn't expect you to completely forget about it... After all, the little girl made the wrong payment..."

Zhao Xi's faint voice was like that of a miserable little daughter-in-law who had been let down by a heartless man. Her tone was soft and resentful, and Lin Jiangnian almost got goosebumps when he heard it.

He also didn't expect that Zhao Xi could really get him into the palace.

He was not notified in advance!

Lin Jiangnian did not react when he was called into the palace. He did not expect this. In addition, Chen Feiyang's appearance at that time gave Lin Jiangnian the idea of ​​​​taking action, so much so that he indeed forgot his previous agreement with Zhao Xi.

Seeing Zhao Xi's gloomy look, Lin Jiangnian felt somewhat apologetic. He nodded: "It is true that I didn't react to this matter, and I didn't think it through well!"

Hearing Lin Jiangnian's apologetic words, Zhao Xi didn't hold on to her anymore. She wasn't really angry, but just felt a little regretful. Now that Lin Jiangnian had just avenged her, she naturally would not blame Lin Jiangnian.

After all, it was she who begged Lin Jiangnian to kill Chen Zhao.

"Now that I can't figure out Chen Zhao's true identity, I want to kill him..."

Zhao Xi seemed to have thought of something, frowned and sighed softly.

As long as Chen Zhao was not removed, she would feel uneasy.

"Miss Zhao, don't worry too much, Chen Zhao won't make any big waves in the near future!"

Lin Jiangqing shook his head softly: "Mi Tiansi is seriously injured now, and there are many people in the court who want to add insult to injury. He can't get up for the time being."

"Having said that, Mi Tiansi is still in his hands after all..."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly. The death of four of Chen Zhao's cronies was indeed a great loss to Mi Tiansi. But Mitiansi is still in his hands after all. Given time, once he recovers, all Lin Jiangnian's hard work will be in vain.

Lin Jiangnian seemed calm about Zhao Xi's worries.

Can Chen Zhao still take control of Mitiansi again?

Then we have to see how capable Chen Changqing is.

Lin Jiangnian believes that Chen Changqing will not let him down!

A man with a righteous heart and an ambitious and far-sighted talent. He has been suppressed and depressed, but he can still maintain his true heart.

Now he finally has the opportunity to show off his skills. For Chen Changqing, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Lin Jiangnian has helped him remove all the obstacles in front of him, and the rest is up to Chen Changqing himself.

When he takes control of the Secret Heaven Division, it will be equivalent to eliminating Chen Zhao's minions who are proud of their power in the court. No matter how powerful Chen Zhao is, he no longer has the deterrent power that can make officials in the court tremble with fear.

Once this layer of deterrence is lost, his power in the court will be weakened.

Of course, Lin Jiangnian is not worried that Chen Changqing will rebel.

First, he believes in Chen Changqing.

Second...

Chen Changqing and Lin Jiangnian are now on the same rope. If he has any other intentions, not to mention that Lin Jiangnian will not forgive him, if the Chen Gong in the palace knows the truth, he will definitely kill him at the first time!

...

On the boat, whispers occasionally came from the window, accompanied by the clear singing voice in the distance, floating on the South Lake.

The sun was bright, and the warm winter sun fell on people, warm.

In the private room.

At the table.

Li Piaomiao ate her meal with no distractions. She seldom spoke, or even almost never spoke. She just ate calmly and elegantly, with very elegant movements. Every move and chewing showed the temperament of a royal goddess.

Zhao Xi on the side was the same. In comparison, Lin Jiangnian, the prince of Lin Wang, ate with much more vulgar movements.

During the meal, Lin Jiangnian and Zhao Xi basically had a conversation, and the topic they talked about was almost all about how to kill Chen Zhao.

Zhao Xi originally wanted to talk to Lin Jiangnian about this topic in more depth, but because of Li Piaomiao's presence, she could only hesitate and hold back for the time being.

She glanced at Li Piaomiao next to her and saw that she had hardly spoken since the meal. Her beautiful eyes moved over her and then fell on Lin Jiangnian on the side.

For some reason, Zhao Xi suddenly had a weird feeling.

These two people who were nominally engaged could now sit together for dinner inexplicably.

The picture actually seemed... somewhat harmonious!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi's beautiful eyes moved, as if she thought of something interesting, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

She still remembered that before Lin Jiangnian came to the capital, there was a story about Li Piaomiao in the capital!

It is said that Li Piaomiao once threatened in public that if Lin Jiangnian dared to come to the capital, he would break his legs!

Although it was not confirmed that this was what Li Piaomiao said, this matter had been widely circulated in the capital before. Now seeing the strange and harmonious relationship between the two, Zhao Xi inexplicably felt a little interesting.

"Your Highness."

Zhao Xi suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up again and saw Zhao Xi suddenly looking at her, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Lin Jiangnian immediately alerted...

This woman is not right, what is she going to do?

Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Xi smiled and asked with a chuckle: "When do you and Piaomiao plan to get married?"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian became a little strange and didn't speak.

Just as Zhao Xi finished speaking, he suddenly felt something moving under the table.

Someone stepped on him lightly!

…
