Chapter 448 Don't Think About Leaving Me

Chapter 449 Don't think about leaving me behind

A cold voice sounded from the room.

"Who?!"

Li Yuan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his head and looked forward.

There was silence and nothingness in front of him, and darkness engulfed the surroundings.

No one!

Li Yuan looked dazed and lost in thought. At one moment, he even wondered if he had hallucinations?

"Who's there?!"

Li Yuan spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

Outside the room, the whistling wind could still be heard, which seemed extremely strange in the middle of the night.

Until a moment later, a black shadow appeared silently in the room.

A thin black shadow, dressed in a black robe, was shrouded in darkness, almost blending into one.

If you don't look carefully, it's even difficult to detect his existence.

When Li Yuan's eyes fell on the person who came, his eyes seemed to move: "Yes, it's you?"

"Does the Third Prince still remember me?!"

This sharp voice sounded again, with a somewhat relaxed tone, slowly approaching, revealing a thin monkey face under the black robe, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks.

Li Yuan stared at the thin figure in front of him and quickly recognized the person in front of him.

This person, isn't it...

That night when he led his troops into the palace to mutiny, and was escorted to the sky prison after the failure, a mysterious woman suddenly appeared and wanted to kill him!

At the critical moment, it was this thin-faced monkey in front of him who suddenly appeared and blocked him to save his life?

It was this person in front of him!

"Who are you?!"

Li Yuan stared at the thin-faced monkey in front of him who came out of nowhere, without too much emotional fluctuation on his face.

His life is over after failing to compete for the throne!

Nothing can bring up too much emotion.

"Who am I? Your Highness the Third Prince does not need to know."

The figure under the black robe was the thin-faced monkey who had assassinated Lin Jiangnian outside the capital and saved the Third Prince in the palace mutiny some time ago.

In the darkness, he slowly approached the Third Prince, looked down at Li Yuan in the corner, and said with a sigh: "The Third Prince, who was full of vigor and vitality in the past, has fallen to this point. It's really a pity..."

Li Yuan's voice was hoarse: "Are you here to laugh at me?"

"How could it be? Your Highness the Third Prince thought that I had gone through so much trouble to break into the imperial mausoleum to see Your Highness, risking my life, but why did I mock Your Highness?"

The thin-faced monkey laughed and said.

"What do you mean?"

"I came here because I have a question for Your Highness..."

The thin-faced monkey slowly approached the Third Prince. The dim light in the room illuminated this sharp-nosed monkey-cheeked face, which was filled with a bright smile: "Your Highness, are you willing?"

Li Yuan stared at him and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"

"Nothing else, I just want to ask Your Highness if you are willing to lose?"

The thin-faced monkey said: "Your Highness is willing to watch his brother ascend the throne and take away what should have belonged to Your Highness, the Third Prince. And Your Highness can only be trapped in this dark side, and spend the rest of his life in misery and loneliness..."

"Are you willing?"

Li Yuan's eyes were deep and low, and he said nothing.

But from the indifferent look on his vicissitudes of life, one can see some of his thoughts.

"Oh, right..."

The thin-faced monkey looked at the sharp stone in Li Yuan's hand and sneered: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, do you think that life is meaningless and are ready to commit suicide?"

Li Yuan did not speak, staring coldly at the thin monkey-faced figure in front of him who was being presumptuous.

"I saw reluctance in your eyes, Your Highness!"

The thin-faced monkey's voice was sharp, with a bit of excitement: "Your Highness, you must have been very unconvinced, will you lose to him?"

"In terms of ability, Your Highness, you are no worse than him, and in terms of the current situation, you are more suitable to sit in that position than him, aren't you?"

These words almost touched Li Yuan's heart.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes deep, staring at the thin-faced monkey in front of him.

From beginning to end, he did not think that he would be worse than Li Ci Ning!

The indecisive character of that royal brother is not suitable to be a qualified emperor at all!

Obviously, he is the most suitable!

Even my father...

"What do you want to say?!"

Li Yuan, who had reacted, stared at him: "What is your purpose in coming to see me?"

"I came to see His Highness for something important."

The thin-faced monkey narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a gleam in his tiny eyes: "We want to work together with the Third Prince!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly raised his head, his voice became hoarse: "What, what do you mean?!"

"Of course it's just a superficial meaning..."

The thin-faced monkey smiled and said: "The last time the capital rescued His Highness the Third Prince, it was my master's instruction..."

"My master hopes to cooperate with His Highness the Third Prince and is willing to do his best to help His Highness the Third Prince make a comeback!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan's heart suddenly jumped, and the face that had been in a dead silence seemed to be raised in disbelief and stared at him.

Make a comeback?

Cooperation?

He seemed to realize something and stared at him: "Who is your master?!"

"Your Highness will know later."

The thin-faced monkey smiled and said: "I came here today just to see if Your Highness is willing to give up and whether you have really given up... Since Your Highness has not given up, why don't you choose to fight again?"

"My master is willing to assist Your Highness with all his strength!"

This is already very clear!

Assist with all his strength?

A comeback?

The meaning of this is self-evident!

It is to rebel!

Want to overthrow Li Cunning?

At this moment, Li Yuan's expression changed: "You want to rebel?!"

"Look at what His Highness said, how dare you come to His Highness if you don't commit rebellion?"

The thin-faced monkey smiled and spoke.

Li Yuan said nothing, his face was gloomy and his eyes were uncertain.

"Your Highness, do you still hesitate?"

The thin-faced monkey said: "Your Highness has now fallen into this situation. He is not like a human or a ghost... Are you really willing to do this?"

"Don't you want, Your Highness, to take back everything that belongs to you?"

"Your Highness is not even afraid of death. Are you still afraid of it happening again?"

The thin-faced monkey said: "This time His Highness fell into Li Cunning's scheme and lost accidentally... But with the help of my master, His Highness will never lose..."

"My master will definitely be able to assist His Highness in your ascension to the throne and becoming emperor!"

"..."

Listening to the thin-faced monkey's words, Li Yuan's originally dead heart seemed to beat suddenly.

Of course he is not willing to give in!

Of course he wants to take back everything that belongs to him.

But……

"Who is your master?!"

Li Yuan stared at the thin-faced monkey and asked in a deep voice.

The thin-faced monkey smiled: "If Your Highness agrees, I will let Your Highness know... Soon, Your Highness will also be able to see my master!"

Li Yuan seemed to realize something, his eyes dimmed slightly: "This is the imperial mausoleum!"

He was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum and had no chance to get out.

"so what?"

The thin-faced monkey did not pay attention to this mere imperial mausoleum at all, with a contemptuous look in his eyes: "As long as His Highness is willing, my master will naturally have a way to save His Highness..."

"I'm not afraid to tell His Highness that there is nothing in this world that my master cannot do."

Listening to the thin-faced monkey's bragging, Li Yuan fell into silence again, and suffered from a long period of torment and hesitation!

Who is the owner of the thin-faced monkey in front of me?

Li Yuan doesn't know.

But vaguely, some signs have been guessed!

In this world, there are not many people who dare to think of rebellion and have the ability to rebel...

Then, the answer is ready to come out!

But Li Yuan became increasingly silent!

He is not stupid, and he also knows the purpose of the thin-faced monkey in front of him.

What helps him make a comeback and ascend the throne as emperor?

all fake!

The person behind this thin-faced monkey just wants to use his identity and his name to launch a justifiable rebellion!

The real purpose of these people is his Li family!

And he, Li Yuan, is just a puppet!

Li Yuan was angry and frightened. As a member of the Li family, he naturally could not just watch the Li family fall into the hands of others.

but……

Another thought quietly emerged from Li Yuan's mind!

Why not... give it a try?

The person behind this thin-faced monkey wants to use his identity as a prince to act. And why couldn't Li Yuan use their power to his own advantage and make a comeback?

If he really succeeds, he will be the emperor and the emperor of the dynasty!

Even if he is just a puppet, the dynasty’s surname is still Li!

Furthermore, who can guarantee that he will definitely become a puppet?

Why can't he use the power of the master behind this thin-faced monkey... to finally control it in his own hands?

Thinking of this, a flash of excitement flashed through Li Yuan's eyes.

The dead silence of not long ago seemed to have been swept away, and his whole temperament had undergone considerable changes.

The thin-faced monkey noticed all this and said with a smile: "It seems that His Highness has made the right choice?"

Li Yuan stared at the thin-faced monkey in front of him and said solemnly: "I want to see your master!"

"Your Highness, please be patient!"

The thin-faced monkey waved his hand: "Your Highness, please wait!"

"Soon, someone will come to take His Highness out..."

"..."

the other side.

Jiang Ningkang met with the emperor, explained his intention, and decided to take a half-year leave.

When Li Cunning learned that there was something wrong with Mr. Jiang's health, he did not dissuade him. He readily approved and asked Jiang Ningkang to greet Mr. Jiang on his behalf.

That old man Jiang had a good reputation, and Li Cunning, who was still the prince in the past, had also received guidance from that old man.

After Jiang Ningkang returned to Jiang's house, he hurriedly started packing his things and preparing for his trip home.

The journey is long this time and we have to stay in Jiangnan for a while, so we need to pack a lot of things. In addition, this is a trip back with the whole family, so it is very important to ensure safety along the way.

Lin Jiangnian specially dispatched a small team from the prince's personal army to protect him secretly.

Once everything was packed and ready, we set off immediately.

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

Before the common people got up, a motorcade left Jiang Mansion in a low-key manner, passed through the capital, and after exiting the city gate, followed the official road all the way south.

The convoy was disguised as a caravan, and the masters of the Crown Prince's Army were arranged in it to protect safety along the way.

In a motorcade, in a carriage.

Zhiyuan, who was wearing a blue shirt and long skirt, was sitting in the carriage. She looked out the window along the curtains of the carriage, looking at the city gradually fading away not far away. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Xiaozhu next to him was also a little unhappy, as if he was depressed.

On the other side, Jiang Yuxiang sat aside, looking at the master and servant who seemed to be a little distracted, and rolled his eyes.

How can I not know what's going on?

You have just left the capital and you are already reluctant to leave?

However, Jiang Yuxiang was somewhat surprised when Zhiyuan wanted to follow her back to Jiangnan. But after hearing about Lin Jiangnian's plan, he had to admit that the brat had indeed made a carefully considered plan.

"What? Are you so reluctant to let go?"

Seeing Zhiyuan still looking out the window a little absently, Jiang Yuxiang finally couldn't help but speak.

Zhiyuan finally came back to her senses, looked at her aunt, and lowered her head unnaturally.

"Since you can't let go, why not just follow him?"

Jiang Yuxiang sighed: "If you are willing to follow him, he will definitely not be willing to drive you away."

Zhiyuan was silent, and after a while, she spoke softly: "I'm afraid of dragging him down."

"drag?"

Jiang Yuxiang rolled his eyes: "He's the one dragging you down, right?"

Then he sighed again: "You are too spoiled to him. You see, there is no one around him to take care of him. You may have a lot of troubles along the way when you go back this time... When you see him next time, I guess there will be a lot of trouble." Young sisters..."

The kite was silent.

After a while, he said again: "He can't."

"You have been completely brainwashed by him..."

Jiang Yuxiang was about to say something, but seeing Zhiyuan's stunned expression, he held back the words.

He sighed softly again: "It's okay, you follow my aunt to Jiangnan, and I won't be lonely along the way..."

Zhiyuan nodded silently, then raised his eyes to look at his aunt: "Auntie."

"Um?"

"I want to go to Jiangnan to investigate something!"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at her in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Zhiyuan thought for a while and said softly: "I want to check about Princess Lin..."

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, as if he realized something: "You mean..."

Zhiyuan nodded, his eyes cold.

"What happened when Princess Lin was pregnant..."

"Your Highness, why has he been living outside?"

"..."

A group of people from the Jiang family set out on their way to Chuzhou.

Among the entourage that went to the Jiang family in Jiangnan, apart from Jiang Ningkang, Jiang's mother, Jiang Shao'an, and a few maids, the Jiang family did not bring many people with them.

On the other side, in addition to Zhiyuan, Jiang Yuxiang, and Xiaozhu, they also brought the twin sisters Jasmine and Fengchi.

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, was all alone!

He only had a few elite members of the Crown Prince's army with him to protect him secretly along the way. Lin Kong was sent to explore the road ahead and eliminate danger.

As for the remaining Lin Qingqing...

Beijing, suburbs!

Outside a house, a carriage is parked

Outside the carriage, Lin Qingqing, who was dressed in disguise, had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness."

After Jiang Mansion left the city, Lin Jiangnian also left the city quietly, hiding his whereabouts.

He knew that someone would be secretly watching the Jiang family's motorcade. Therefore, Lin Jiangnian chose the low-key ‘Escape from the Golden Cicada’!

After the Jiang family's motorcade left, he came to the outskirts of the capital alone.

When Lin Jiangnian approached, he saw Lin Qingqing in front of the carriage looking something wrong. Looking at His Highness, he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian discovered her clues.

Lin Qingqing said nothing, but glanced at the carriage behind her, as if hinting at something.

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian was confused, what do you mean?

She looked at Lin Qingqing, and then at the carriage parked not far behind her.

Seems to realize something.

At this moment, a clear, sweet, and exciting voice came from the carriage.

"Lin Jiangnian?!"

Immediately afterwards, a girl in a light green dress emerged from the carriage, standing on the carriage and waving to him happily.

"Isn't it a surprise?!"

The girl's face was full of joy and excitement.

Lin Jiangnian had no expression on his face and turned to look at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing seemed to feel guilty and lowered her head: "Miss Xu found out about your whereabouts, His Highness, and insisted on following you. She couldn't even drive you away..."

Lin Jiangnian's frown deepened.

If he hadn't mentioned this, he would have really forgotten about this girl!

Lin Jiangnian had a headache when he saw Xu Lan appearing in front of him with an excited face.

"How did you come?"

Lin Jiangnian stepped closer.

"I'll go back to Linjiang City with you!"

Xu Lan spoke naturally.

When she saw that Lin Jiangnian wanted to say something, Xu Lan rolled her eyes and her expression suddenly became pitiful: "You don't want to regret it... drive me away, do you?"

Lin Jiangnian said: "The situation is different. It's a long way back this time, and it's very hard to travel and travel..."

"I'm not afraid!"

"It's still dangerous!"

"I'm not afraid either!"

"..."

Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to say something, Xu Lan jumped down from the carriage, trotted briskly to Lin Jiangnian, and hugged his arm.

He raised his head slightly, revealing a delicate, slightly stubborn face.

"Hmph, I already knew that you wanted to leave me and go back to Linjiang City alone..."

"Fortunately, this girl has noticed it a long time ago and won't let you succeed..."

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm here now. You can't even try to drive me away..."

"...This girl is determined to follow you!"

"Hum hum!"

"..."
