Chapter 382 The Prince's Troubles

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xuan's face changed slightly.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister beside him. As expected, he saw that his sister's face became a little colder after hearing Lin Jiangnian's slightly frivolous words.

Even Zhiyuan beside Lin Jiangnian turned her head to look at Lin Jiangnian, but she didn't say anything. She stood quietly beside Lin Jiangnian without saying a word.

And Lin Jiangnian, with a slightly frivolous look, still looked at the brother and sister in front of him.

Playful.

Scrutiny.

Xu Chaoge said nothing, squinting her eyes and staring at the man in front of her!

Lin Jiangnian!

Although it was their first meeting, she was already familiar with this man's appearance.

As the princess of Xu Wangfu, how could she not even remember the appearance of Lin Wang's son?

Naturally, Lin Jiangnian in front of him would never not recognize them!

So... he is playing dumb!

I have to say that although I already knew what this prince of Lin looked like, I couldn't help but sigh after seeing him in person.

This boy really inherited the advantages of the prince of Lin and the late princess of Lin. He is handsome and can be regarded as a rare handsome man.

But...

This boy's frivolous tone did make Xu Chaoge feel a little colder.

But, how could she not realize...

Is this boy deliberately provoking?

Xu Chaoge raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly for a moment, then turned around expressionlessly.

"Let's go."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

From beginning to end, she didn't pay any attention to Lin Jiangnian.

Xu Xuan on the side was slightly stunned.

What's going on?

Why did my sister turn around and leave?

This kid just took advantage of you... With my sister's character, why didn't she retaliate?

This is wrong!

However, Xu Xuan didn't have time to think. Seeing Xu Chaoge was about to walk out of the eaves, he woke up from his dream and hurriedly followed his sister's footsteps, holding up an umbrella to shield his sister from the wind and rain.

After the brother and sister left, Lin Jiangnian on the street slowly retracted his sight, "Let's go."

Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Lin Jiangnian, nodded without saying anything.

The two continued to walk side by side, but the atmosphere seemed to be more solemn than before.

After a while, Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "I'm afraid that the purpose of this brother and sister coming to the capital at this time is not simple."

Zhiyuan glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

The prince and princess of the Xu Wangfu appeared in the capital at the same time. At this juncture, they came to the capital to travel and relax?

Obviously not!

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Xiaozhu, who had been following the prince and sister Zhiyuan, asked in a puzzled voice: "Who were those two just now?"

Xiaozhu just secretly observed that the two people had outstanding looks and good temperament, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

And His Highness just flirted with someone else's sister in front of Sister Zhiyuan... How bold!

This made Xiaozhu worried for a long time, until he saw that Sister Zhiyuan didn't seem angry, he was slightly relieved.

However, he was full of doubts in his heart.

"They?"

Lin Jiangnian touched Xiaozhu's head with a smile and chuckled: "A guy with the same status as your Highness."

Xiaozhu blinked blankly, the same status as His Highness?

Who in the world can have the same status as His Highness?

Xiaozhu thought quickly for a while, and finally seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes suddenly widened: "He, he is..."

In the world, the only one who can have the same status as His Highness is the one in the north... Prince Xu? !

Those two people just now, are Prince Xu and his sister? !

For a moment, Xiaozhu was shocked.

"This Prince Xu seems to be different from the rumors?"

Lin Jiangnian seemed to think of something, glanced at Zhiyuan, and chuckled.

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "He is not important. Xu Chaoge beside him is the one you should be most wary of."

"Xu Chaoge?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed, "The name is good. Is she difficult to deal with?"

"Yeah."

Zhiyuan nodded, looked at Lin Jiangnian, and hesitated.

"Why? Are you worried about your Highness?" Lin Jiangnian noticed Zhiyuan's reaction and spoke.

"This person has unfathomable thoughts."

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and a rare solemnity appeared on her face. She stared at Lin Jiangnian seriously: "Compared to Xu Xuan, Xu Chaoge can be called your opponent."

Seeing Zhiyuan's solemn expression, Lin Jiangnian also slightly restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Indeed, I have heard that the daughter of King Xu is not simple. Many decisions in King Xu's mansion are related to this princess, but..."

"She is a woman after all!"

"This prince is good at dealing with women!"

"..."

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but looked at him expressionlessly.

"Hey, Zhiyuan, you misunderstood. The way I deal with it is not what you think!"

"What do I think?"

"It's... it's not what you think anyway."

"..."

Zhiyuan didn't say anything. She stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time before retracting her gaze and looking forward again.

After a while, she said calmly: "If you can handle her, it's not impossible."

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

Fishing, right?

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Jiangnian said with a stern face: "How can this prince be that kind of person? You know, I only have you in my heart..."

Before Lin Jiangnian finished his words of loyalty, Zhiyuan interrupted him calmly.

"She is different."

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "She is the most likely hidden danger and threat to the Lin Wangfu in the future. If you can really deal with her and marry her back to the Lin Wangfu, I have no objection."

"... Provided that you have the ability!"

Zhiyuan spoke calmly, without a trace of joking on her face.

Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

He looked at the handsome and calm Zhiyuan in front of him, and was in a trance for a long time.

What is going on?

Zhiyuan, actually supported him to play with the feelings of the princess?

By order... to pick up a girl?

...

On the other side, under the cover of night, the mist and rain were hazy.

Xu Xuan held an umbrella and followed his sister, speaking angrily.

"This Prince Lin is really not a good guy. I didn't expect him to be so frivolous and lustful that he dared to tease you, my sister..."

"Don't worry, sister. I will go to him next time to settle the score and seek justice for you!"

"..."

Xu Xuan didn't expect that Lin Jiangnian was so bold that he dared to tease Chaoge openly.

Originally, when he met Lin Jiangnian in such an occasion, Xu Xuan wanted to show his demeanor. Unexpectedly, this Prince Lin had no martial ethics.

He greeted his sister right away!

Can this be tolerated?

Xu Xuan couldn't stand it, but he didn't expect his sister to tolerate it!

This is a bit unusual!

"Didn't he recognize us?"

Xu Xuan was a little confused. As the Prince Xu, how could he not recognize the Prince Lin who had the same status as him.

It can be seen that the Prince Lin looked like he didn't know him?

This shouldn't be right?

"He pretended."

Xu Chaoge spoke expressionlessly.

"Pretending?"

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So, he teased you... on purpose?!"

"This Prince Lin is really not a good guy!"

Xu Xuan spoke angrily.

Even if everyone doesn't get along, everyone's identities are on opposite sides, and they are enemies. But no matter what, shouldn't everyone be friendly when they meet?

What's the matter with you turning against each other as soon as you meet?

"Why? Do you think he should be nice to you?"

Xu Chaoge glanced at him and said expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't he?"

"Heh!"

Xu Chaoge sneered: "Do you really think he is a fool?"

"He was attacked in a temple in Linzhou a year ago, and was frequently assassinated on his way to Beijing a few months ago... Do you think he won't doubt it?"

Xu Xuan immediately opened his eyes wide: "What does that have to do with me? It wasn't me who assassinated him?"

"Do you think he would believe it?"

Xu Xuan was silent.

"If it were you, would you doubt it?"

Under his sister's questioning, Xu Xuan was silent. After a while, he sighed deeply: "So, I am taking the blame?"

"You are the prince of Xu, if you don't take the blame, who will?"

Xu Chaoge said lightly.

Xu Xuan wanted to refute, but in the end he just sighed deeply.

No way to refute!

He really has to take the blame.

"So, he did this on purpose today? Pretending not to know us? Deliberately teasing you, sister, trying to anger us?"

Xu Xuan seemed to react quickly.

No wonder my sister didn't turn hostile today.

Xu Chaoge looked calm: "It's good that he didn't attack you."

"He dares?"

Xu Xuan glared: "Am I afraid of him?!"

"The woman next to him is very good at martial arts!"

"How good is she?"

Xu Chaoge glanced at him and said calmly: "If she wants to kill you, I'm afraid I can't stop her!"

After saying this, Xu Xuan felt a sudden chill on his neck, and he shrank subconsciously, a little surprised: "So powerful?"

"That girl, is her martial arts better than yours?!"

"Her name is Zhiyuan, and she is the personal maid of Prince Lin."

Xu Chaoge was thoughtful. According to her investigation, the maid next to Lin Jiangnian was not simple.

Strictly speaking, she was not just a simple maid.

"It seems that Prince Lin doesn't like me!"

Xu Xuan seemed to think of something and sighed with a little regret.

Xu Chaoge glanced at him: "You and he are enemies!"

"I originally wanted to have a good chat with him... After all, we have the same status and position, so we should have common topics..."

Xu Xuan sighed, feeling a sense of loneliness.

As the prince of Xu, he has enjoyed the glory and status since he was a child. But at the same time, no one can understand his troubles.

As the prince of Xu, he is good-looking and excellent, which makes him easily envied and troubled!

In his opinion, only the prince of Lin, who has the same status and position as him and has the same experience, can understand him.

Unexpectedly...

"You are different from him."

Xu Chaoge glanced at this brother with a weird brain circuit and spoke expressionlessly.

"What's the difference?"

"He is the eldest princess's fiancé, the future imperial consort!"

"Are you worthy?"

"..."

Xu Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he was furious: "Xu Chaoge, don't go too far... I am your brother, how can you help others to be powerful?!"

Xu Chaoge had a blank expression: "Isn't what I said right?"

Xu Xuan was furious: "Then I am also your brother... I just spoke up for you and wanted to help you teach him a lesson, is this how you treat your brother?"

Xu Chaoge's eyes were cold: "No need!"

After a pause, she said coldly: "I will avenge this grudge myself!"

Hearing this, Xu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

This is his sister!

Small-minded, vindictive!

That Prince Lin dared to tease and offend his sister today, and he will suffer in the future!

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan felt much more comfortable. He even couldn't wait to see his sister go to trouble that guy...

Who asked him to marry the eldest princess!

It's what he deserves!

When Xu Xuan was thinking proudly in his heart, Xu Chaoge's voice came from the side again.

"How is the situation with the Third Prince?"

"Not sure..."

Xu Xuan shook his head gently, "However, the Third Prince has been making a lot of noise these past two days... I guess it should be soon!"

"I just don't know when he will take action... I'm looking forward to it!"

Xu Chaoge didn't say anything, but looked into the distance. In the dim night, not far ahead, you can see the brightly lit imperial city shrouded in mist and rain.

On New Year's Eve, the gloomy palace still revealed a bit of oppression.

"Is imperial power so fascinating?"

Xu Chaoge murmured to himself.

Xu Xuan on the side sighed: "Who wouldn't be tempted by the supreme imperial power?"

Xu Chaoge turned his head to look at him: "You are also tempted?"

Xu Xuan sighed: "I have no choice!"

"If possible, I just want to be a quiet and dissolute prince, sleep until I wake up naturally every day, go out to drink wine, take two lackeys to the street to tease decent women, and then marry two beautiful women. It is more important than anything else for the three of us to live a good life..."

"Unfortunately, you don't give me this opportunity!"

At this point, Xu Xuan said angrily: "You have to make me, a dissolute second generation with a happy life, work hard and be diligent, which is too much!"

Xu Chaoge had a blank expression: "If my father heard what you said, he would definitely beat you!"

"Hehe!"

Xu Xuan smiled: "So I only dare to tell you, my sister!"

As he said, Xu Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the imperial city in front of him, which was shrouded in gloomy words.

The New Year in Beijing is approaching, and it is immersed in the lively and joyful atmosphere of the New Year. However, this kind of imperial city is so oppressive that it makes people feel breathless.

Extremely divided.

"But we have no choice!"

"The court has always been eyeing us covetously, seeing us as a thorn in its eyes, and thinking about cutting off the vassal and eliminating us all the time..."

"The Lin family is a lesson. The Lin family made great contributions to the dynasty in the past, pacified the southern border countries, and expanded the territory. The merits were so great that they had to be crowned kings, otherwise how would other generals in the court see it? But the throne of the king was not even warm, and he was targeted by the court..."

"When the birds are gone, the dogs are cooked. They need outsiders to help them maintain the stability of the dynasty, but they are afraid of outsiders taking power. We outsiders will never really get their trust. If we don't resist, the fate that awaits us is only destruction!"

Xu Xuan looked indifferent and smiled bitterly: "I don't agree with my father's approach, but..."

"I know what my father did is right!"

"The fate of our Xu family must be in our own hands!"

"..."
