Chapter 402 The Atmosphere Is Here
See you in the picture!
It turns out that this is the real purpose of Miss Zhao? !
Playing tug-of-war with him?
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at the crimson and heart-thumping face right in front of him.
It has to be said that the Miss Zhao in front of her can be said to have mastered the timing just right. He was in the mood right now, and Lin Jiangnian was really pinched by her sudden appearance.
"Should I say no?"
"What do you think?"
Zhao Xi bit his lower lip lightly, leaving a slight mark, which was extremely tempting.
Her expression was pitiful, as if she was delicate yet somewhat inadvertently seductive, giving people an indescribable urge.
"Can't refuse."
Lin Jiangnian sighed.
This Miss Zhao can be regarded as catching him.
Hearing this, Zhao Xi's eyes filled with amusement, and he smiled lightly: "Your Highness, are you no longer a gentleman?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at the pair of beautiful legs that had retracted under the skirt. Zhao Xi's knees were slightly bent, and the hem of the skirt was vaguely visible, making people have the urge to take a closer look.
He shook his head gently: "No conflict."
"My prince is a gentleman to begin with!"
Zhao Xi stared at him for a while, his face still red, and couldn't help but said: "When did you become so hypocritical and shameless?"
"When I first met His Highness, was He not so hypocritical?"
"Isn't this generous of Miss Zhao?"
"so?"
"If you don't pretend, I might not be able to control myself."
"..."
Zhao Xi was slightly startled, then a trace of shame flashed across his eyes, as if he thought of something, he narrowed his eyes: "So, His Highness turns out to have thoughts about the Nu family?"
"Does it count just because the body has thoughts?"
"Pooh!"
Zhao Xi's pretty face turned red, "It turns out that your usual sanctimoniousness is all just an act."
"Isn't it the same with Miss Zhao?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "How could those in the outside world have imagined that Miss Zhao, who is dignified, elegant and charming in person, would be so... charming and charming in private?"
As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian's eyes glanced at her inadvertently.
As if he was electrocuted, Zhao Xi's delicate body trembled slightly, his expression became more and more shy, and he subconsciously turned his head away.
"Hmph, Master You, change the subject."
Zhao Xi snorted: "Tell me about last night!"
Lin Jiangnian took a step closer and sat next to Zhao Xi.
The soft couch was not very spacious. Zhao Xi sat up and sat on the side with his legs bent. As Lin Jiangnian sat down, the soft couch seemed slightly crowded. There was inevitably some contact between the two.
Zhao Xi's body stiffened slightly, as if he was not used to it. She quietly moved behind her, feeling a little nervous. Her rapid breathing and the visible rise and fall of her chest exposed her emotions.
She is not as carefree as she appears!
"How did you know I was at the palace last night?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her.
Zhao Xi hugged her knees with her hands, her head slightly knocked on her knees, her beautiful red face slightly covered by her scattered hair. She raised her eyes and looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
There's something indescribably...cute about such a nervous look?
"Guess."
Lin Jiangnian looked at her dark eyes and sighed: "Miss Zhao, are you taking me for a fool?"
"snort!"
Zhao Xi snorted, knowing naturally that he could not hide this excuse from him.
"My man, I happened to see you entering the palace yesterday!"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Did I see it by chance, or did you secretly send someone to follow me?"
Zhao Xi looked away with some guilt: "They're all the same...no difference!"
Lin Jiangnian did not dwell on this with her: "So, you had a premonition that something would happen last night?"
Zhao Xi did not deny it: "That's right."
She, the Zhao family, has quite a few spies in Beijing, and it is impossible to hide what happened last night.
"Since you already know everything, why are you still asking me?" Lin Jiangnian asked.
"My people can't enter the palace!"
Zhao Xi shook his head and bit his lower lip: "I heard that the third prince led troops into the palace last night and ultimately failed in his rebellion and was imprisoned, but the specific details are not clear..."
She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian: "What happened in the palace last night? How did the third prince force the palace, and how did he fail?"
"...Were there any other forces in the palace last night?"
Looking into Zhao Xi's eyes, Lin Jiangnian heard what she meant and chuckled: "You want to ask, did Chen Zhao get involved in the third prince's rebellion last night?"
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Xi's face, her beautiful eyes flowing: "Am I so obvious?"
"Obviously!"
Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "The third prince has no grievances or enmities with you, so why would you suddenly care about these things, unless it is... related to you?!"
There was no direct grudge between Zhao Xi and the third prince, so she had no reason to pay attention to it, let alone be willing to pay such a 'price' to obtain information.
The affairs of the imperial court were what his father should be concerned about, and had nothing to do with her, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao.
But, if it is Chen Zhao, it will be different!
Long ago, Lin Jiangnian had noticed that there was a secret collusion between Mi Tiansi and the third prince. The news brought by Chen Changqing a few days ago also confirmed this.
Earlier, Lin Jiangnian had mentioned this matter to Zhao Xi, and I think she had probably investigated it privately.
It is reasonable that Zhao Xi is so concerned about what happened in the palace last night that she can't wait to find Lin Jiangnian to ask for clarification.
The real person behind the Secret Heavenly Division is Chen Zhao. Will the Secret Heavenly Division participate in the rebellion of the Third Prince last night? When the Third Prince rebelled last night, did Chen Zhao secretly help?
You know, Chen Zhao, who controls the Secret Heavenly Division, has great prestige and power in the palace... If he really colluded with the Third Prince, how could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity last night?
Listening to Lin Jiangnian's analysis, Zhao Xi always had a slight smile on her face. She was not surprised that Lin Jiangnian could guess her purpose.
"So, did he... last night?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xi frowned slightly.
Lin Jiangnian carefully recalled what happened last night. Last night, he and Zhiyuan witnessed from afar outside the Yangxin Palace the entire process of the Third Prince leading troops to force the palace to rebel and the failure of the plan. But from beginning to end, Chen Zhao never appeared, let alone any figure of the Secret Heavenly Officials!
Last night's coup was more like a one-man show of the Third Prince from beginning to end.
When Lin Jiangnian told Zhao Xi the news, Zhao Xi looked a little more serious, and seemed unsure: "He, didn't move last night?"
"That's not very clear."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He didn't go to the Yangsheng Palace where the emperor was in seclusion last night. As the eunuch closest to the emperor, Chen Zhao should have stayed in the Yangsheng Palace.
However, there is no way to verify it for the time being!
But from the clues found in the palace last night, and hearing about a mysterious master who broke out of the palace when he left the palace in the morning, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but think of another person... the eldest princess!
When I saw her in the Yangxin Palace last night, her expression was not right, as if she was injured?
If so, would her injury have any connection with the mysterious master who broke out of the palace?
After Zhao Xi finished listening, he stared at him with burning eyes: "What is the origin of the mysterious master who broke out of the palace?"
"I don't know."
"Where did he go last night? Did he go to the Yangsheng Palace? What is his relationship with Chen Zhao?"
"I don't know either."
"..."
"Then, what did you see last night?"
Zhao Xi looked at him and bit her lip: "Everything you know... I want to know!"
For Zhao Xi's persistent questioning, Lin Jiangnian did not hide anything and slowly told what happened last night from the beginning.
From the third prince leading his troops into the palace and killing his way to the Yangxin Palace. To the third prince taking the Yangxin Palace effortlessly and forcing the prince into a desperate situation, he thought everything was won and the dust had settled. As a result, the situation suddenly reversed, and the imperial guards who had been waiting for a long time took action and captured all the people brought by the third prince...
Although some details are still unclear, such as what the prince and the third prince talked about in the Yangxin Palace. But as a bystander, Lin Jiangnian did see the drama last night.
After listening, Zhao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought for a long time.
Lin Jiangnian was not in a hurry. Seeing that Zhao Xi did not say anything, he did not continue to speak. He looked at the peerless and charming Miss Zhao in front of him casually.
Her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her skin was like cream, and the blush that had not yet dissipated was all over her delicate face, which formed an inexplicable contrast with her serious contemplation at this time.
Extraordinarily attractive!
Even though Miss Zhao was dressed tightly today, Lin Jiangnian had to say that Miss Zhao tonight was more attractive to her than before.
Even, it made Lin Jiangnian feel uneasy...
Beauty trap!
It is worthy of being the most vicious trick in thousands of years!
"Then you..."
At this time, Zhao Xi, who had been thinking for a long time, gradually came back to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Lin Jiangnian's gaze.
"You, what are you looking at?!"
When Zhao Xi realized where Lin Jiangnian was looking, her legs under her dress shrank subconsciously.
Seeing Zhao Xi's reaction, Lin Jiangnian looked calm, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Didn't you say you would take it off for me? Are you regretting it again?"
"You..."
Zhao Xi blushed and said angrily: "You, can you stop thinking about these messy things in your mind?"
What she wanted to ask was instantly interrupted by Lin Jiangnian.
"Aren't you the bad guy who complained first?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed helplessly: "Miss Zhao, you just said that I would help you take it off... Why are you suddenly turning your face and biting back?"
"You..."
Zhao Xi became more and more embarrassed, and couldn't refute it for a while.
Indeed, she was the one who took the initiative just now, but...
"Forget it!"
Before Zhao Xi could speak, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand again and curled his lips: "Since Miss Zhao is unwilling, I don't like to force others. Just think that Miss Zhao is not trustworthy and keeps her promise. I will suffer a little loss. Let's forget about this matter and don't mention it..."
When these words came out, Zhao Xi's eyes widened slightly, embarrassed!
This, how come it sounds like her fault?
What does his reluctant expression mean?
So she is wrong?
Zhao Xi's pretty face flushed with anger, and her body trembled slightly. Seeing Lin Jiangnian's expression of giving up, she did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more...angry!
Knowing that this guy might be deliberately provoking her, Zhao Xi was still curious!
She is not trustworthy?
She is not trustworthy?
"Take it off, take it off! Take it off quickly!!"
Zhao Xi, whose face was flushed with anger, seemed to have something stuck in her chest. Even the usually calm Zhao Xi lost her mind a little at this moment.
Her legs, which were originally bent, suddenly straightened and were stuffed into Lin Jiangnian's arms in a fit of anger, resting on his legs.
"Are you satisfied?!"
Looking at Zhao Xi's face, which was flushed with anger but still beautiful, she lowered her head to look at the beautiful legs wrapped in silk stockings that were offered to her on her own initiative.
Lin Jiangnian was unmoved.
"No."
"Take it off quickly!"
"No."
"Are you going to take it off?"
"If you say no, then don't take it off!"
"..."
"Haven't you always been thinking about it? I've offered it to you now, are you still not satisfied?!"
Zhao Xi's beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger, and she was already a little angry and ashamed of Lin Jiangnian's rejection.
"Miss Zhao, calm down... a melon that is forced is not sweet!"
"Stop pretending. Didn't you touch her enough in the past few days?"
Zhao Xi sneered and exposed.
When they were cruising on Nanhu Lake a few days ago, didn't this bastard take advantage of her under the table in front of Piaomiao?
Why didn't he say that a melon that is forced is not sweet?
Lin Jiangnian sighed. How could he rush to let him take advantage?
"Miss Zhao, this kind of thing requires an atmosphere and a mutual consent. It can't be forced."
Zhao Xi blushed and gritted her teeth: "Stop talking nonsense... In a word, are you going to take it off or not?!"
"..."
This is the first time that Lin Jiangnian has seen Zhao Xi show such an expression. Even when she accidentally broke into the bathroom last time, she didn't see her as ashamed and angry as she is now.
However, Lin Jiangnian remained calm. He glanced at Zhao Xi and suddenly asked: "Miss Zhao, do you think Chen Zhao became an accomplice of the third prince last night?"
Zhao Xi didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to suddenly change the subject and didn't want to pay attention. But when she heard that it was related to Chen Zhao, her originally blushing face sank slightly, and she gritted her teeth: "He is colluding with the third prince... Last night, he must have taken action behind the scenes!"
"Are you sure?"
"Chen Zhao and the prince are not on good terms. Once the third prince falls, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and Chen Zhao will not have a good end... Last night, he would never watch the third prince fail!"
Zhao Xi's tone was firm.
Lin Jiangnian thought about it, and it made some sense...
Zhao Xi thought of something, and a sneer appeared on his cold and flushed face: "But his conspiracy and tricks are useless after all. The third prince's rebellion failed, and he has no chance of turning over..."
"Chen Zhao, his death is not far away..."
Thinking of what will happen soon, Zhao Xi's breathing became more and more rapid, and her face finally had a touch of excitement... red rhyme.
She has been waiting for this day for a long time!
The third prince's rebellion failed, and Chen Zhao, as an accomplice, is not on good terms with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In this case, how could the prince tolerate him?
His death is coming!
As if she thought of something, Zhao Xi's body trembled slightly, and her eyes became a little more moist.
She could finally see the real murderer of the Xu family being arrested!
Once Chen Zhao lost the power of the emperor's protection, it would be easy for her to take revenge!
"When the time comes, I must personally use his head to pay tribute to Sister Xu and the innocent souls of the Xu family!"
"..."
Zhao Xi took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes. After a long silence, she gradually calmed down.
And at this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong?
Why was her foot a little cold?
Zhao Xi opened her eyes and suddenly realized that just when she was immersed in the joy of being able to avenge Sister Xu. And Lin Jiangnian, I don't know when, had skillfully taken off the silk stockings wrapped on her feet.
Throw it aside.
A pair of delicate, white, jade-like female arched feet were exposed to the air, with crystal clear skin, perfect foot shape, smooth as cream, and dazzling white.
And Lin Jiangnian's big hand fell on her smooth skin without any hindrance, zero-distance contact.
Feeling the hot breath of the big hand covering her skin, Zhao Xi's mind was temporarily absent-minded, and her mind was blank. When she came back to her senses, her pretty face instantly blushed as if blood was injected.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger, her body was tense, and she was ashamed, shocked, and angry: "You, didn't you say you wouldn't take it off?!"
Facing Zhao Xi's embarrassed questioning, Lin Jiangnian smiled shyly.
Like a pure scholar, his smile was gentle and brilliant.
"This is unfortunate..."
"The atmosphere is just right!"
"..."
