Chapter 395 Let’s Go Home Together

Inside the Yangxin Palace, in the courtyard.

Led by the imperial guards, Lin Jiangnian entered the palace.

As he walked along, he could see the ruined and messy scene in the palace vividly.

I didn't feel much when I watched from a distance before, but now I can see the debris around me from a close distance, which makes people tremble with fear everywhere.

The bodies inside and outside the palace have been cleaned up, but there is still a faint smell of blood in the air. No matter how heavy the rain is tonight, no matter how the rain washes the ground and walls, it can never completely wash away the remaining bloody smell.

This unpleasant and depressing smell seems to oppress everyone's heart, making the atmosphere particularly depressing.

Before arriving at the inner palace, Lin Jiangnian tidied his clothes and walked in.

In the brightly lit inner palace.

It was very quiet.

In the inner palace, two figures appeared in Lin Jiangnian's sight.

Li Ci Ning, dressed in a white brocade robe, and the eldest princess, who appeared not far from Li Ci Ning and was about to leave.

"Your Highness, I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess!"

When he saw Li Piaomiao, Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. He looked at her for a second and saw that the woman looked at him coldly, without any disturbance.

But it seemed that her face was paler than before?

"Jiang Nian?!"

When Li Ci Ning saw Lin Jiangnian, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Why are you here?!"

Lin Jiangnian remained calm: "Your Highness is here to confess."

Li Ci Ning looked suspicious: "Confess?"

"What crime has Jiang Nian committed?"

Lin Jiangnian said; "Tonight, His Royal Highness the Third Prince rebelled and committed a heinous crime. After I learned the news, I wanted to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't expect to be a step late..."

"...I am late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"..."

The palace was briefly quiet for a moment.

Li Ci Ning looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, and after a while, he sighed softly: "Jiang Nian, why do you have to lie to me like this?"

"I dare not!"

"I am not stupid."

"I am not."

"Jiang Nian... is here tonight to see my funny joke?"

"Absolutely not."

"..."

When Li Ci Ning learned that Lin Jiangnian appeared outside the palace, he had guessed something. He was not surprised that Lin Jiangnian would appear here tonight!

There was such a big turmoil in the capital and the palace tonight, and I don't know how many forces have paid attention to it. As the prince of Lin Wang, how could Lin Jiangnian not have received the intelligence?

Li Ci Ning looked at Lin Jiangnian who was talking nonsense in front of him, sighed again, and then a smile appeared on his face again: "Since Jiangnian doesn't admit it, that's fine..."

"I was thinking of looking for you in a few days, and you're here just in time."

"Your Highness, do you have something to ask me?"

"I haven't had time to thank you for tonight's events."

Li Ci Ning smiled: "If you hadn't informed me in advance, Jiangnian, and told me about the third brother's ambitious plan, I'm afraid the consequences tonight would be disastrous..."

Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Li Piaomiao on the side. She looked at Lin Jiangnian coldly without saying a word.

"This is my duty, not worth mentioning!"

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth, he always felt that the prince in front of him had something to say.

Thank him?

Lin Jiangnian sneered in his heart, he had a hunch. Even without his previous advance communication, the third prince might not be able to succeed tonight!

The prince in front of him was too calm!

Lin Jiangnian was a little wary of his calmness.

He talked to the prince in front of him without changing his expression. The two exchanged greetings, and Li Ci Ning's expression was always pleasant, like a spring breeze. As for why Lin Jiangnian appeared here tonight, he did not ask too much.

The two maintained a harmonious tacit understanding.

"It's getting late. His Highness the Third Prince's mutiny has left such a big mess. I won't make trouble and disturb His Highness..."

After a round of greetings, Lin Jiangnian said goodbye.

Li Ci Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and naturally realized the purpose of Lin Jiangnian's appearance here tonight.

He smiled and said, "Then I won't stay any longer. It's not safe tonight in the chaos in the palace. I will send someone to take you out of the palace later!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Jiang Nian, you have helped me so much, there is no need to be so polite!"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian turned around with satisfaction and prepared to leave.

He came here not to reminisce with the prince, but to find an excuse to leave the palace openly!

Li Ci Ning is very smart. From the moment Lin Jiangnian appeared, he probably knew the purpose of Lin Jiangnian's appearance here.

However, he did not expose it.

Logically speaking, it is not a wise choice for a prince of a vassal state to appear in the palace openly when the third prince rebelled. It is even easy to cause a fatal disaster if he is not careful.

But Lin Jiangnian is not worried about this.

Although the rebellion of the third prince failed, the mess he left behind is too big, big enough to make the whole court turbulent.

Tonight is just the beginning.

After dawn, this turmoil will really show its edge.

Under such circumstances, even if the crown prince of the dynasty is stupid, he will never take such an opportunity to take action against a prince of a vassal state who holds real power.

With these means alone, it is impossible to overthrow a powerful prince.

Li Ci Ning is not the third prince, he is not so brainless!

In a way, this prince is indeed a qualified crown prince.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to leave the inner hall, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He glanced sideways and saw Li Piaomiao in white clothes appearing not far behind him and also walking out the door.

"Princess?"

Li Piaomiao paused, "Hmm?"

The two exchanged glances for a moment, and Lin Jiangnian soon realized something.

The princess in front of him was dressed in white, but the skirt, which should have been clean and pure, was stained with some mud and water. It seemed that she had just returned from outside not long ago, and she had a bit of dusty air on her body.

More importantly...

Lin Jiangnian soon noticed that the princess looked normal, still with that cold and emotionless face, but much paler than usual.

Even her breath was not stable?

Lin Jiangnian keenly realized something: "You, are you injured?"

Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment after meeting Lin Jiangnian's inquiring eyes.

"It's okay."

After that, she walked out the door on her own.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her back as she left the house, thinking.

Where did she go tonight?

This princess is very skilled in martial arts, but can anyone hurt her?

In addition to the third prince, is there any other force in the palace tonight?

...

Outside the Yangxin Palace.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

The imperial guards not far away held their breath and looked carefully at the two figures not far away.

The rain stopped, and a little morning light appeared faintly in the east.

It was about to dawn!

The two women still stood in the same place, and no one looked at each other.

Invisibly, it seemed that there was an indescribable resistance between the two.

They were standing together, but they seemed particularly unfamiliar. Even a little... out of place.

And all this was soon broken.

There were footsteps in the palace, and Zhiyuan and Liu Su outside the palace looked into the palace at the same time.

Then, they saw two figures appear one after the other. The expressions of the two people also froze at almost the same time.

A cold figure in white appeared in the sight.

Very white!

Very cold!

Almost the moment she appeared, the eyes of the two people outside the hall were focused on her.

At the same time, Li Piaomiao, who had just stepped out of the hall, noticed two cold eyes suddenly shot in the air.

She raised her eyes and saw the two figures in front of her. One on the left and one on the right, standing side by side.

Li Piaomiao looked at the two people and seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Then...

She also stopped.

The three people's eyes were intertwined.

There was a brief silence.

And Lin Jiangnian, who followed the eldest princess out of the hall, was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him!

This picture... is not right!

Outside the hall in front, Zhiyuan and Liu Su stood quietly in the dark. Even though they were almost integrated into the darkness in their black dresses, they were still very dazzling.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly met, and Lin Jiangnian had an indescribable feeling... It was like a sense of tension when the wife met the wife!

One was the fiancée appointed by the emperor, and the other was the fiancée Lin Jiangnian himself recognized!

And there was another... the fiancée who refused to admit it!

Don't say it, don't say it!

Even though Lin Jiangnian had a very good psychological quality, he was a little worried that they would fight!

None of the three people in front of him were easy to mess with!

In terms of martial arts, everyone's martial arts was far better than Lin Jiangnian's. He couldn't handle one, let alone three at the same time...

Can't stand it!

The body can't stand it!

The waist may not stand it either!

Just as Lin Jiangnian was still worried about whether there would be a scene of blood flowing into a river, the situation did not evolve at all.

Li Piaomiao, who walked out of the hall, just casually cast his eyes on the two people outside the hall, stared for a while, then slowly retracted his gaze, turned his head and glanced at Lin Jiangnian.

He said nothing and turned away.

She left lightly, without taking a cloud with her.

Lin Jiangnian stared at the princess's back in white as she turned and left, wondering if her eyes just now really had no other meaning?

When he retracted his gaze, the two people outside the palace also looked at him.

For a moment, their eyes were different.

Zhiyuan looked normal, but Liu Su looked at him with a smile. It seemed like a smile, but in fact... Lin Jiangnian noticed the anger in her eyes.

Of course, there was also a flash of worry!

When Lin Jiangnian approached, Zhiyuan looked up at him.

No words.

But those beautiful eyes were bright and clear, as if asking something.

"Let's go, let's go home."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said to the two.

Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and got the answer she wanted from Lin Jiangnian's reaction.

Instead, Liu Su looked at him, a little surprised: "Did it work?"

"Of course!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, and saw that Liu Su seemed to have thought of something, and said with a fake smile: "Sure enough, there are people in the palace who are different!"

Why does this sound so awkward?

Lin Jiangnian ignored it and explained: "The Crown Prince will send someone to send us out of the palace."

Things did go smoothly. Originally, I thought that when I went to see Li Ci Ning, he would doubt Liu Su's identity. Lin Jiangnian also made plans in advance to let Liu Su and Zhi Yuan cooperate.

Unexpectedly, Li Ci Ning did not ask too much.

Obviously, he should know something, but he didn't expose it, and Lin Jiangnian was happy to cooperate.

But Liu Su stared at Lin Jiangnian, half-smiling but not smiling, with a hint of meaning: "So, did I forget to thank the eldest princess just now?"

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at her, only to see Liu Su glance at Zhiyuan and sneer: "Without your fiancée's help, I'm afraid we would have to stay in the palace today, right?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

"It has nothing to do with her."

"It doesn't matter?"

Liu Su naturally didn't believe it: "Aren't you going to see the prince? Why did you come out with her?"

"I just happened to meet..."

"Just right?"

"What if?"

"How do I know?"

"..."

Obviously, this Lady Liu seems to be deliberately looking for trouble.

While setting off the fire and setting the rhythm, he secretly glanced at the paper kite next to him, trying to provoke a dispute.

However, Zhiyuan ignored it.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's get out of the palace first!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand. There was going to be chaos in the palace. It was indeed not suitable for them to stay here any longer.

"snort!"

Liu Su snorted lightly, but did not deny Lin Jiangnian's words.

Soon, the three of them were escorted out of the palace by the imperial guards sent by His Royal Highness Li Cunning.

However, when he left the palace, he discovered chaos inside and outside the palace gate. After asking around for a while, he learned that a mysterious assassin had forced his way out of the palace not long ago, and the palace guards were trying to catch him.

"And there are forces outside the palace?"

"Those who can force their way out of the palace probably won't be weak in martial arts..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the Forbidden Army defense inside and outside the palace gate, and asked the two people beside him: "Are you two sure that you can break in safely?"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glanced a few times, as if calculating something, but said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Liu Su on the other side.

"have no idea."

Liu Su had a straight face and spoke solemnly.

After leaving the palace, she turned around to leave, but Lin Jiangnian grabbed her hand.

"Where are you going?"

"go home."

Liu Su tried to shake off.

"It's too late now!"

Lin Jiangnian pointed at the sky: "How about we go to Jiang Mansion to stay and have a rest first?"

At the moment, Lin Jiangnian couldn't let Liu Su leave alone. After all, he had been struggling all night last night and his current mental state was not very good.

Secondly, Liu Su entered the palace last night to assassinate the third prince, but his plan failed. He doesn't know what he will face when he returns to the Tianshen Sect.

Lin Jiangnian is not worried about her!

Liu Su was slightly startled when she heard this, as if she was a little surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Zhiyuan, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and sneered: "Go back with you?"

"I'm afraid someone will be angry!"

Lin Jiangnian looked back at Zhiyuan, only to see Zhiyuan looking at her calmly and saying, "I won't be angry!"

"I didn't say it was you."

Liu Su snorted coldly.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be arguing again, Lin Jiangnian quickly stopped between them.

These two people are usually talkative and calm people, so why didn't they respond to each other tonight when they met, and why did they become so sarcastic and angry when they spoke?

"Okay, okay, stop talking!"

Lin Jiangnian inserted himself between the two of them, blocking their gazes from each other, grabbing one with each hand, holding their soft, boneless and tender hands on the left and right, and holding them tightly.

Immediately, he said decisively:

"It's getting late, let's talk about anything later!"

"Now, go home!"

"Let's go home together!"

"..."
