Chapter 422 You Are Not the Father!

Jiang Mansion.

The atmosphere was dull.

The servants in the mansion were cautious. Although the weather was sunny today, the air was getting a little colder.

And all this was because an unexpected guest came to Jiang Mansion today!

A person that no one expected.

In the front hall.

The atmosphere was tense.

A graceful figure in white stood quietly under the eaves. From a distance, this plain white dress gave people a cold and elegant temperament.

Just a few more glances made people feel a little cold!

Many maids and servants in the mansion hid in the distance, and from time to time they carefully inquired about it. Curious eyes fell on this beautiful but cold face, and they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

At the same time, they whispered with their companions next to them.

"Is this the princess in the palace?"

"She is even more beautiful and cool than the legend says..."

"She is too cold. When she came over just now, she looked at me. You know, I felt like I was dying..."

"Why did the princess come to our Jiang Mansion today?"

"Of course she came to see our prince!"

"Ah? The princess is of noble status, but she would come to see your prince in person?"

"...What you said, is your prince not noble? No matter how noble the princess is, isn't she your prince's fiancée?"

"When she marries our prince in the future, won't she be shorter than your prince?"

"Yes, that makes sense..."

"..."

The maids and servants in the mansion hid in the courtyard, quietly observing the legendary princess with surprise and amazement, and quietly pointing and guessing the purpose of the princess's visit today.

After all, this is the first time in history!

It has been several months since His Highness came to the capital, but this eldest princess took the initiative to visit for the first time... Does this mean that His Highness and the eldest princess are about to have a good time?

Just as the maids and servants were speculating, Jiang's mother and Jiang Yuxiang, who had learned the news, finally hurried over.

Jiang Ningkang has been going out early and coming back late recently. Although the case of the third prince's rebellion has come to an end, it has far-reaching influence. Jiang Ningkang, who is in the six departments, has still been affected.

Although he is just a marginal figure, and with the backing of the Jiang family in Jiangnan, he will not have any problems, but he is indeed busy and has little time to go home.

Therefore, the task of receiving distinguished guests naturally fell to Jiang's mother, the hostess of the Jiang Mansion.

When Jiang's mother heard the servants come to report that the eldest princess came to visit in person, she was a little surprised!

The eldest princess, why did you suddenly come to visit?

Come to see Jiang Nian? !

After a brief surprise, Jiang's mother hurried over to greet her!

After all, the other party is the eldest princess, with a noble status, so she must be treated well!

At the same time, Jiang's mother was also guessing in her heart... Would the princess come to talk about marriage this time?

Jiang's mother didn't know about the relationship between Lin Jiangnian and the princess, so she didn't think too much about it. Seeing the princess come to her house in person, she was naturally very happy. Jiangnian is not young anymore, and it's time to talk about marriage.

But at the same time, Jiang's mother was a little uneasy. According to rumors in the capital, this princess has a bad personality and is very difficult to get along with... Will Jiangnian's life be difficult in the future if he marries her?

Jiang Yuxiang, who came with Jiang's mother, was very surprised.

She was also a little shocked and stunned!

She was the one who knew Lin Jiangnian's thoughts best. The brat had been saying that he wanted to cancel the engagement with the princess before, and he would never marry this princess.

For this reason, a series of things were tossed around.

Jiang Yuxiang didn't know what happened later, but Lin Jiangnian had repeatedly promised her that he would not marry the princess!

He said it with a solemn oath over there, and here... he came to the door?

What does this mean?

The eldest princess, with a noble status, has not yet married and taken the initiative to visit her fiancé's house. What does this mean... It's self-evident!

How can she not want to marry? !

If she didn't want to marry, would she come to her door?

She's already delivered to her door... That stinky boy is still talking nonsense, right?

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were complicated and she was angry. That stinky boy really has something to hide from her. I must teach her a lesson later!

When Jiang Yuxiang was thinking angrily in her heart, Jiang's mother walked up and said, "I meet the eldest princess!"

"I don't know why the eldest princess came to visit in person today?"

The eldest princess looked cold and her eyes swept over the middle-aged lady in front of her!

Jiang Ningkang's wife, the mistress of the Jiang Mansion, Lin Jiangnian's second aunt!

Her eyes swept over and fell on the charming young woman behind Jiang's mother.

She glanced quietly for a few times.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Jiang Yuxiang had a gentle smile on her face: "Your Highness is here to visit me personally, please take a seat!"

She and the Princess have known each other for a long time and have met several times in the palace before.

"No need!"

The Princess spoke in a neutral tone: "I'm looking for Lin Jiangnian!"

The slightly cold and stiff words startled Jiang's mother.

I've heard that this Princess has a bad temper and is unkind. This contact is indeed true...

If Jiangnian marries her, can he subdue her?

Jiang's mother couldn't help but worry a little.

"Jiangnian should not have gotten up yet!"

Jiang's mother explained softly: "I have asked someone to call him, Your Highness the Princess, please wait a moment."

The eldest princess said nothing and nodded expressionlessly.

Immediately, the air seemed to freeze.

Mother Jiang stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It's hard to communicate!

The eldest princess's cold tone made people have no urge to communicate with her at all.

Is this eldest princess really a normal person?

Jiang's mother couldn't help turning her head to look at Jiang Yuxiang, looking for help. Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly in her heart. Her sister-in-law's reaction was as expected.

In this world, few people can communicate normally with this eldest princess. Even her biological mother, the empress of the dynasty, complained to her more than once.

"Your Highness the Princess..."

Jiang Yuxiang said, "Jiang Nian will be here soon. Why don't you come in and sit down first? It's cold outside!"

"Need not."

The eldest princess spoke, her tone neither cold nor indifferent.

The refusal was straightforward.

She stood under the eaves like a cold statue. With flying black hair, stunning appearance, and plain white dress.

Simple, yet elegant yet otherworldly!

It makes people almost afraid to look directly, and even has the urge to worship.

"I haven't been in the palace for some time. I wonder how the Queen is doing now?"

"Good."

"The Queen is not in good health. Have you had a good rest during this time?"

"Um."

"..."

Jiang Yuxiang opened his mouth and fell silent!

Can't communicate.

Can't communicate at all!

Mother Jiang and Jiang Yuxiang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Mother Jiang took two steps closer and came to Jiang Yuxiang's side. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is the eldest princess always like this?"

"yes!"

Jiang Yuxiang sighed.

"This... how can she communicate with others like this?"

Mother Jiang was surprised.

Jiang Yuxiang shook his head and sighed: "She usually doesn't communicate with others."

Mother Jiang was silent.

After a while, he said: "Then, if Jiang Nian marries her back, won't it still be like this?"

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were a little complicated and he hesitated: "But, it's possible..."

"Can Jiang Nian be able to control her?"

"It's hard to say..."

"..."

Under the eaves.

Li Piaomiao's expression remained unchanged!

However, those cold and unchanging eyes glanced at Mother Jiang and Jiang Yuxiang who were whispering to each other not far away.

He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.

Calm again!

…

When Lin Jiangnian rushed to the front hall, he saw a rather strange scene in the front hall.

Under the eaves of the front hall, the eldest princess who came to visit was standing there upright, with a cold face, as if she had been left out!

It looks a little pitiful.

On the other side, Mother Jiang and her aunt were gathering together, whispering something from time to time. Their eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

In the front hall, there was silence.

Even the maids and servants not far away stayed away, only daring to watch quietly.

This scene is indeed extremely weird!

For those who don't know, you might think that Jiang Mansion doesn't treat guests well, and the dignified princess came to the door in person, but was left out in the cold.

But in fact...

Lin Jiangnian took one look and understood what was going on!

...It is this eldest princess who has isolated everyone!

"Jiang Nian!"

When the atmosphere in the front hall became strange and solemn, Mother Jiang and Jiang Yuxiang finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Jiangnian appearing.

"You're finally here!"

"Aunt, aunt!"

Lin Jiang young called out, walked into the front hall, and said hello to the two of them.

Then, he raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess under the eaves of the front hall. Seeing that her expression was as usual, cold and calm, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Your Highness, Princess, are you quite on time?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang's mother and Jiang Yuxiang looked at each other.

What's the meaning?

This guy actually talks to the princess like this?

Jiang Yuxiang was even more angry... Sure enough, this brat had been secretly in contact with the princess.

Listen to this tone, listen to these words... 'very punctual'?

Doesn't this mean that the two of them have always been in contact?

Contact me secretly and say you don’t want to marry?

Liar, right?

If the eldest princess hadn't been there, Jiang Yuxiang would have gone up and asked him why he didn't want to marry!

After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, Li Pianmiao looked at Lin Jiangnian expressionlessly.

Not a word was spoken.

Although there was no expression, Lin Jiangnian vaguely felt a hint of... emotional fluctuations from the eldest princess!

Not happy? !

However, Lin Jiangnian was quite happy!

He just said it casually and deliberately the day before yesterday, and he didn't expect that Li Miaomiao would actually come to the door in person.

Unexpectedly, she actually came!

This somewhat surprised Lin Jiangnian. At the same time, he was also keenly aware of something: "The princess came to see my prince today because..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes flickered and he spoke.

The eldest princess did not speak, but raised her eyes slightly to glance at Mother Jiang and Jiang Yuxiang behind him.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Yuxiang reacted immediately, and they looked at each other.

"Jiang Nian, let's have a good chat with the princess, let's go there first!"

Mother Jiang and Jiang Yuxiang left wisely and consciously, and even the other maids and servants in the courtyard disappeared.

At this time, Li Miaomiao looked at him calmly: "Father, I want to see you!"

After hearing the news, Lin Jiangnian didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but became more solemn!

Emperor, are you finally planning to show up?

but……

Why do I feel that there seems to be something strange in this?

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful.

From the previous clues and signs, Lin Jiangnian could almost conclude that something must have happened to the secluded emperor!

It was basically close!

But today, Li Piaomiao suddenly came to the door and really brought news... The emperor wanted to see him!

Lin Jiangnian became more alert!

Something is wrong!

The emperor is still alive?

Still willing to see him?

This was the situation that Lin Jiangnian wanted to see. He finally had the opportunity to meet the emperor and confirm with his own eyes whether he was dead or alive.

However, the letter sent by Chen Changqing this morning made Lin Jiangnian extremely alert!

Chen Zhao summoned the masters of the Secret Heaven Division to enter the capital secretly, proving that something big must have happened in the capital!

It was related to the emperor!

And it was at this time that the eldest princess, who had been delaying for several days in the past, suddenly appeared again and said that the emperor wanted to see him!

This made Lin Jiangnian doubt... Would this be a trap?

A conspiracy against him? !

Thoughts flashed through Lin Jiangnian's mind quickly. He looked at the princess in front of him quietly, his expression unchanged, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, are you finally willing to see me?"

"It's not easy, so what do I need to prepare?"

Li Piaomiao looked at him quietly: "No need to prepare anything."

"Will it be bad for this prince to meet your majesty like this?"

"No!"

The two looked at each other for a moment.

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

Lin Jiangnian retracted his gaze, restrained all the emotions in his eyes, and returned to calm.

"Let's go."

The princess didn't say any more nonsense and turned to walk out the door.

Lin Jiangnian followed her, but after just a few steps, Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke again.

"Wait."

The princess paused slightly.

Just then, as if she had a premonition, she looked back slightly and her eyes fell on the pavilion corridor of the side hall.

She caught a glimpse of a cold figure.

Li Piaomiao narrowed her eyes slightly and watched Lin Jiangnian walk to the pavilion corridor and approach the cold figure.

Her eyes fell on the face of the figure, staring at it quietly for a few seconds. At the same time, the cold figure under the eaves also looked at her with cold eyes.

Eyes met, staring at each other!

For a long time!

Li Piaomiao retracted her gaze, and from beginning to end, there was no emotion on her face.

At this time, Lin Jiangnian had already approached the girl under the eaves.

"Zhiyuan, why are you here?"

Zhiyuan didn't speak, her face was cold, she retracted her glance at the eldest princess and fell on Lin Jiangnian.

Staring at him quietly.

Zhiyuan, who was still angry with him this morning, suddenly appeared here on her own initiative.

It goes without saying.

"I want to follow her into the palace to meet the emperor!"

Lin Jiangnian explained in a low voice: "Whether the emperor is dead or alive will be revealed today."

Zhiyuan didn't speak, still with a cold face, but a trace of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"I'm fine!"

Lin Jiangnian took her little hand, but was thrown away by Zhiyuan with a cold face.

"Are you still angry?"

Lin Jiangnian stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek again, chuckled and said, "You will be angry again when I come back, now can you help me do something?"

Zhiyuan didn't say anything and looked at him.

Lin Jiangnian slipped a token from under his sleeve into Zhiyuan's hand. Then he leaned in and whispered something in Zhiyuan's ear.

After listening, Zhiyuan's face changed slightly and stared at him solemnly.

"It's dangerous?!"

"Not sure, even if it's an insurance..."

Lin Jiangnian looked relaxed, and looked at Zhiyuan's fair and delicate face in front of him, leaned in slightly, and kissed her on the cheek.

Then he chuckled and said, "Your Highness's life is in your hands!"

Zhiyuan's face flushed, took a step back, and glared at him with annoyed eyes.

But then, a deep worry appeared on his face again.

After a while, he spoke: "Be careful!"

"I will."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, waved his hand, turned around, and followed the eldest princess in the courtyard to leave Jiang Mansion.

Zhiyuan stood there, watching Lin Jiangnian's figure disappearing, and her ruddy face gradually became colder.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the token in her hand that Lin Jiangnian had given her, which was still slightly warm.

Her eyes were complicated.

After a while, she gradually regained her expressionless face.

Turned around.

A sharp look flashed in her cold and beautiful eyes.

"Call Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong!"

"..."

Outside the Jiang Mansion.

A luxurious carriage was quietly parked on the flat ground outside the mansion.

The eldest princess left the Jiang Mansion and got on the carriage.

Lin Jiangnian was left standing outside, hesitating whether he should get on, when the voice of the maid of the princess's mansion came from the side.

"Your Highness, please get on the carriage?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the maid, who looked familiar. He had seen her in the princess's mansion before.

But why is it her today?

Where are Jinxiu and An Ning?

However, Lin Jiangnian did not ask much, and got on the carriage and got behind the curtain.

The maid of the princess's mansion got on the carriage and drove it towards the palace.

Inside the carriage!

A faint fragrance lingered!

It can be seen that this should be the carriage of the eldest princess. The decoration inside the carriage is very simple, but everything is exquisite, which is quite similar to the temperament of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess sat quietly in the carriage, closing her eyes to rest.

After Lin Jiangnian got on the carriage, he sat opposite her and looked at her.

The princess, who was resting with her eyes closed, was surrounded by a cold and ethereal chill. This beautiful and indifferent face made people marvel at it, but it was also difficult to raise several different emotions.

It was hard to describe.

It would take some time to enter the palace, and Lin Jiangnian had nothing to do, so he carefully observed the appearance of the princess.

The more he looked, the more amazing she was!

The more he sighed and regretted!

How could such a beautiful girl not be more enthusiastic?

If her personality was like a normal person, she wouldn't be... not married yet, right?

Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking about it, the princess, who had been resting with her eyes closed, seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian.

At first, Lin Jiangnian felt a little guilty for being caught red-handed. But soon, he felt at ease again!

Looking at her, the two of them just stared at each other without blinking.

Until a long time!

In the end, this time it was the princess who lost first!

Feeling a little childish and boring, she slowly withdrew her gaze. There seemed to be something in her cold eyes, and after a moment, she suddenly spoke.

"The one just now, is called Zhiyuan?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned, and looked up in surprise.

Look at the princess!

How could she know Zhiyuan?

No...

Why did she suddenly ask about Zhiyuan?

"That's right!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded cautiously and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Li Piaomiao said lightly.

"?"

Nothing, why would she mention Zhiyuan if nothing happened?

Lin Jiangnian stared at her, trying to see something from her face. But from beginning to end, the princess did not show any emotion.

The atmosphere fell into silence again!

Until the carriage passed through the bustling and lively streets of the capital and finally arrived at the imperial city.

Lin Jiangnian finally spoke again: "Your Majesty, have you come out of retreat?"

Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment, and said: "My father will not come out of retreat for the time being!"

"Then Your Majesty, how can you summon me?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and tried to find out the news.

Li Piaomiao glanced at him: "Health Palace!"

Lin Jiangnian's heart skipped a beat.

Health Palace?

Doesn't this mean that he is going to the place where the emperor is in retreat and meet the emperor?

Wait...

Health Palace?

Doesn't this mean that he can meet Chen Zhao this time?

Meet the legendary eunuch? !

By the way, test this person?

Lin Jiangnian thought in his mind and continued to ask.

"Why did His Majesty summon me to the Health Palace?"

"I don't know."

"Did His Majesty give any other instructions?"

"No."

"Did His Majesty give any other instructions?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at her: "Your Majesty, will you force me to marry you?"

"Force me to marry you?"

The eldest princess remained calm and her answers were always brief and to the point: "I don't know."

"..."

The carriage entered the imperial city and arrived outside the Health Palace without any obstacles.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Health Palace has arrived!"

The carriage stopped and the maid's voice came.

Li Piaomiao got up first and got off the carriage, followed by Lin Jiangnian.

What came into view was a magnificent palace!

The palace was magnificent, beautifully decorated, and embellished with various exquisite carvings, which was quite amazing!

Just in front of it, the three words "Health Palace" on the golden plaque were magnificent and flying, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

This is where the emperor of the current dynasty is in seclusion!

After getting off the carriage, Li Piaomiao glanced at Lin Jiangnian and walked closer.

Lin Jiangnian followed closely behind!

Outside the Health Hall, there were guards of the Imperial Army. Judging from the breath and momentum of these guards, they were all masters with good martial arts.

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian, who had just entered the Health Hall, immediately felt an oppressive momentum enveloping him.

From all directions, he felt an indescribable discomfort!

Lin Jiangnian realized that there might be many masters secretly serving as guards in this Health Hall.

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian became more cautious.

Last night, the masters of the Secret Heaven Division were secretly summoned into the palace. Where are they now?

In this Health Hall?

Lin Jiangnian remained silent, followed the princess, secretly looked at all the furnishings and layouts of the Health Hall, and secretly memorized them!

The Health Hall is very large, and the layout is even more complicated. After passing through several pavilions and corridors, he finally came to the central courtyard of the Health Hall.

In front of us, there is an open space, which is suddenly open.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a magnificent palace!

The air is filled with the scent of sandalwood, and under the eaves, there are all the imperial guards with solemn faces!

And under the eaves of the palace in front, there is a hunched figure standing quietly.

He is dressed in a gray robe, like an old man in his twilight years, waiting quietly for a long time.

When Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on him, he recognized this person's identity almost instantly!

Chen Zhao!

The most trusted eunuch around the emperor, the old eunuch who is a disaster to the court in the mouths of the common people!

At this moment, this old eunuch who is described as having three heads and six arms is like a dying old man, without any aura of overwhelming power.

Clearly just a little old man!

Just as Lin Jiangnian was looking at him, Chen Zhao under the eaves seemed to hear footsteps, and slowly raised his head, revealing an old face and turbid eyes.

First he saw the cold and incomparable eldest princess, and then his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian behind the eldest princess.

After looking at it twice, he took it back.

"This old slave has met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Lin!"

Chen Zhao bent down and spoke respectfully.

The eldest princess glanced at him coldly but said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "How do you know you are my prince?"

Chen Zhao still lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Although I have never seen His Highness the Crown Prince with my own eyes, I have heard someone describe His Highness's appearance. When I saw His Highness today, his appearance and temperament were similar to His Highness's impression in my mind, so I concluded that he was Prince Lin is here!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized and said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect Eunuch Chen to observe such subtle details. I admire him."

Chen Zhao said calmly: "Old slave, my memory is just better. Thanks to His Highness's praise, I am very frightened..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian sneered in his heart.

Really good at pretending!

If you don't know, you may really think that this is just a respectful old eunuch!

But how can a person who can control Mitiansi and cause trouble in the court be a simple person?

"This is the first time that my prince has met Eunuch Chen today. I feel that Eunuch Chen is a bit friendly for some reason!"

Lin Jiang young smiled and suddenly said: "My prince has heard some rumors among the people in the past. I wonder if Eunuch Chen can shed some light on my doubts?"

Chen Zhaodao: "Excuse me, Your Highness."

"I have heard rumors from the common people that Eunuch Chen has practiced the Sunflower Book and is a master with extremely high and unfathomable martial arts skills?"

"Is this possible?"

"Sunflower Book?"

Chen Zhao seemed slightly startled and raised his eyes to meet Lin Jiangnian's gaze: "Your Highness, what is this Sunflower Book?"

"A martial arts that is the most profound and gentle in the world. Only masters like Eunuch Chen can practice it!"

"..."

Chen Zhao was silent, then shook his head: "Your Highness has misunderstood, these are just folk rumors. How can an old slave like a eunuch know any martial arts!"

"This is not necessarily true. As the saying goes, there are rumors among the people. It is not entirely false news."

Having said this, Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Zhao with a smile: "My prince is very interested in the legendary Sunflower Book. I wonder if Eunuch Chen can explain it a little bit?"

Chen Zhaodao: "I don't know much about martial arts, and I don't know anything about the Sunflower Book... I have disappointed His Highness!"

"Yeah?"

Lin Jiangnian's face showed a look of disappointment as expected: "It is rumored among the people that my father-in-law has incredible martial arts skills. Is this also a rumor?"

"Exactly, the old slave really doesn't know any martial arts..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, knowing that Chen Zhao would never admit it.

But never mind!

No matter how deep he hides, there is a fundamental difference between ordinary people and martial arts practitioners. As long as you can check his meridians, you can know.

Just when Lin Jiangnian was about to continue speaking, the eldest princess on the side interrupted him and said expressionlessly: "Follow me to see my father."

Chen Zhaoshun immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting for you, please don't keep Your Majesty waiting..."

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but glare at Li Pianmiao next to him. What could she say if she had nothing to do?

But now that the words have come to this, Lin Jiangnian can only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being.

"In that case, I will go to see His Majesty first! When I have time later, I will have a good discussion with Eunuch Chen!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled kindly, waved his hands, and followed the eldest princess into the hall.

Chen Zhao was still standing under the eaves, watching the two people walk into the hall with an expressionless face.

His eyes are deep.

The hall is empty and quiet!

There was no one around.

The eldest princess suddenly stopped and glanced back at him: "Are you testing him?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Did you see it too?"

The eldest princess was expressionless: "What do you doubt about him?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was startled for a moment, and then realized: "Are you doubting him too?"

"Do you also suspect that he is hiding his martial arts?"

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head.

"What's the meaning?"

Li Piaomiao glanced outside the hall behind her and frowned.

"There's something wrong with him!"

"How did you find out?"

"intuition!"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

What a fuss!

I thought she had discovered some clue, so after asking for a long time, she came up with an intuition!

What's the use of this thing?

However, since even the eldest princess felt that something was wrong with him, this proved that Lin Jiangnian's guess was probably correct.

Chen Zhao, I'm afraid it's really possible that he possesses martial arts skills!

As for how strong it can be, it is currently unknown.

However, this is not good news for Lin Jiangnian.

"He is a eunuch, but he possesses martial arts skills and is hiding with His Majesty... Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.

Li Piaomiao paused for a moment and said, "He is the person my father trusts most!"

"So what if you trust the most?"

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly: "He is just a eunuch after all, an outsider... He has too much power, and you can't control many things!"

Regarding this question, Li Miaomiao didn't answer much. She withdrew her cold eyes and said lightly: "Let's go see my father first."

"Where is your Majesty?"

Li Miaomiao didn't say anything, and stepped into the main hall and turned on the mechanism. After a while, behind the main hall, a secret room passage slowly appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Li Miaomiao took the lead to approach, while Lin Jiangnian lingered at the door and observed for a while.

"What?"

"Your Majesty is in seclusion in such a secluded place... Is it safe inside?"

Li Piaomiao's eyes were cold: "This underground palace took my father several years of hard work to build. It is extremely solid and can withstand the attacks of top masters!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded thoughtfully, and after observing carefully for a while, he followed Li Piaomiao into the secret room.

The secret room was very dark. Although there were lights on in the niches around, there seemed to be insufficient oxygen and the firelight was very weak, making the entire underground secret room passage have a kind of dim and weird feeling.

The two of them still walked into the secret room one after the other and passed through a very long and narrow corridor.

Finally, they came to a secret room.

Li Piaomiao stopped, stood outside the secret room, and said: "Father, Piaomiao has brought the prince of Lin here!"

There was silence all around, no response.

Lin Jiangnian looked up at the secret room in front. There were several secret rooms here, as if they were connected in series, and the walls around were all hard stones.

It's hard to imagine that Emperor Ning is in seclusion in such a place...Wouldn't he be suffocating?

Also, is he really still alive?

Lin Jiangnian's guess became more and more bizarre. When he entered the Health Hall just now, he didn't see the whereabouts of Chen Changqing, nor did he see the figure of the master of the Secret Heaven Division.

This just proves... The news that the Secret Heaven Division secretly entered the palace last night, I'm afraid the princess and the prince in front of him should not know yet?

There was silence for a long time, and no response.

Li Piaomiao frowned slightly, and when he was about to speak, a very weak and low voice came from the secret room.

"Come in."

The voice was weak, it was the voice of Emperor Ning!

Hearing this voice, the princess frowned slightly.

Lin Jiangnian also heard it... This is the voice of the emperor.

But why is it so weak?

It seems...

As if realizing something, Lin Jiangnian suddenly turned his head to look at the princess beside him.

But Li Piaomiao looked normal, stepped forward, and pushed open the door of the secret room.

Lin Jiangnian already had a guess in his mind, and followed him into the secret room.

The lights in the secret room were even dimmer, and there was no other light source except for two weak palace lanterns.

As if it was done deliberately.

In front of the secret room, there was a screen, which almost divided the entire secret room into two.

Just behind the screen, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting on the futon behind the screen. The sandalwood scent in the secret room became more and more intense. After inhaling a little, he felt a little dizzy inexplicably.

As soon as he entered the secret room, the Tai Gu Heart Method in Lin Jiangnian's body began to operate uncontrollably.

His eyes suddenly condensed.

There is something wrong with this sandalwood!

It seems... to have a hypnotic effect? ​​!

But it is not strong!

Lin Jiangnian's face became more and more solemn, looking at the looming black shadow behind the screen. After a brief moment of thought, he slowly stepped forward, bowed and spoke.

"I, the prince of Lin Wang, Lin Jiangnian, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"..."

As Lin Jiangnian spoke, the secret room fell into silence again.

Li Piaomiao stood quietly behind him, staring at the screen without saying a word. But for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of... doubt in that cold gaze?

The emperor did not speak, and Lin Jiangnian did not move!

At the same time, he secretly operated the Tai Gu Heart Method to slowly force out the sandalwood that had been absorbed into his body, keeping his head clear.

Now he entered the palace alone, full of doubts and crises. He must always keep a calm mind to deal with everything that happens next.

Finally, after a long silence. The voice of Emperor Ning came from behind the screen.

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Jiangnian stood up, slowly raised his eyes, and looked behind the screen.

The black shadow was still motionless.

But the voice seemed extremely weak... like, dying soon?

Sure enough!

Is there something wrong with his body?

Is this the real reason why Li Piaomiao has been unwilling to let him meet the emperor?

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

At this time, the voice of the ‘Son of Heaven’ came again from behind the screen.

"Piaomiao, you step back first!"

Li Piaomiao stared at the screen for a long time with a cold gaze. When she heard her father's voice, she was silent.

"Yes."

She turned and walked out of the secret room.

However, when she was about to reach the door of the secret room, she suddenly stopped.

"Father?"

"What else?"

Li Piaomiao stared at the screen with a cold gaze, and suddenly said: "If Piaomiao doesn't want to, will the father force Piaomiao?"

There was a short silence behind the screen.

Then, the hoarse voice of the ‘Son of Heaven’ came again: "Since you don't want to, I will naturally not force Piaomiao!"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Piaomiao's eyes suddenly became cold.

Killing intent emerged from the bottom of her eyes.

"You, aren't the father?!"

Li Piaomiao's originally cold temperament suddenly evolved into an endless oppressive aura at this moment, instantly spreading and exploding in the secret room.

"Who are you?!!"

She asked coldly.

The murderous aura rushed in the face, lingering in the secret room, oppressing others to breathe.

Lin Jiangnian's face changed slightly. He almost couldn't resist the terrifying aura that suddenly burst out from the eldest princess. He quickly used his mental skills to resist, and his face eased a lot.

But at the same time, Lin Jiangnian was horrified!

"Not the father?"

What does the eldest princess mean by this?

What's going on? !

Could it be that the person behind the screen is not the emperor of the dynasty? !

Lin Jiangnian suddenly looked behind the screen.

At this moment, the terrifying cold murderous aura on the eldest princess burst out.

"Bang!"

The screen that originally blocked the secret room shattered into pieces!

It fell with a bang.

The black shadow sitting on the futon behind the screen was exposed to Lin Jiangnian's sight.

This is a thin man who looks as haggard as an old man!

Lin Jiangnian's first thought was... This is not the emperor of the dynasty!

The current Emperor Ning is only in his fifties now, in his prime, and he would not become so hunched!

Especially Lin Hengzhong once said that this Emperor Ning was ambitious when he was young, and he could be regarded as a Ming emperor! Lin Jiangnian had also seen the portrait of Emperor Ning, and he was indeed a handsome man with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament.

Otherwise, he would not have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Li Piaomiao!

As for the old man in front of him, Lin Jiangnian could not compare him with the emperor in his impression.

But when Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on this old face, he still saw a bit of... Emperor Ning's appearance from this face!

Is it really... Emperor Ning? !

Wait, since he is Emperor Ning, why does Li Piaomiao say he is not?

What's going on? !

At this moment, as the screen fell, the 'Emperor Ning' behind the screen also raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Piaomiao, what are you doing?!"

There was a bit of majesty in his voice.

However, Li Piaomiao's eyes became colder and murderous.

"You are not the father!"

The voice was cold and resounding!

The next second, murderous!

Without seeing Li Piaomiao take action, there was a majestic aura, which rushed towards the 'Emperor Ning' sitting quietly on the futon!

This majestic aura was extremely terrifying, even Lin Jiangnian who was standing by could feel the terrifying aura contained in it.

He was shocked... Li Piaomiao, is she trying to kill her father?

"Bang!"

An explosion sounded!

The terrifying aura instantly exploded at the place where the futon of 'Emperor Ning' was, instantly blowing the futon into pieces.

The air was filled with flying catkins!

And the 'Emperor Ning' who was originally sitting on the futon disappeared!

Li Piaomiao raised his eyes coldly.

In the front sight, the 'Emperor Ning' who was originally 'in his twilight years' was standing there quietly, and a look of realization appeared on his old face.

"As expected of the eldest princess!"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you!"

"..."
