Chapter 494: Guilty Jinxiu

It was late at night.

The inn was silent.

After a hard day's journey, everyone had already gone to bed.

On the third floor, in the inn room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Piaomiao slowly opened her eyes, and an invisible aura emanated.

There seemed to be a chill in her cold eyes.

She looked up at the night outside the window, then slowly got up, walked to the door of the room, pushed the door open and walked out.

It was late at night, the lights in the inn were dim, and there was silence all around. Li Piaomiao appeared in the corridor, her footsteps were very light, and she didn't make a sound.

Her existence seemed to be out of tune with this world.

Until, she suddenly stopped.

She looked up and looked at the room not far ahead.

The lights in the room had long gone out, but...

There seemed to be some subtle sounds.

Very, familiar!

Li Piaomiao looked ahead quietly, in the dark night, her beautiful eyes were dark and bright.

There was no ripples.

...

Early morning.

It was just dawn.

An Ning had already gotten up.

Her daily routine was very punctual and fixed. She got up, dressed, washed, and then went to wake up Jinxiu who was staying in bed, and went to greet the princess.

Of course, when she had a conflict with Jinxiu occasionally, she would skip the process of calling her.

This morning, she did the same.

After washing up, she came to Jinxiu's door with her sword, which she almost never left, and knocked on the door.

There was no movement in the room!

An Ning was used to this and pushed the door.

But as soon as she pushed, she quickly realized that something was wrong.

It couldn't be pushed open.

Is it locked?

A trace of doubt appeared on An Ning's pretty face.

Jinxiu didn't have the habit of locking the door!

But today... why was the door locked?

A trace of suspicion appeared in An Ning's eyes, a little strange!

She continued to knock on the door, but there was still no movement in the room.

Just as An Ning's face changed slightly, thinking that something had happened in the room, she hesitated whether to force her way in.

In the room, Jinxiu finally responded with a slightly hoarse voice: "Who is it?"

The voice was very soft, with a bit of hoarseness, and seemed a little weak.

It sounded a little strange.

"I."

An Ning said.

"What, what's wrong?"

The voice in the room seemed a little flustered and uneasy.

An Ning looked at the door and said expressionlessly: "It's time to pay respects to the princess!"

"I, I'll go later..."

In the room, Jinxiu's voice was weak: "You, you go first."

Outside the door, An Ning frowned slightly, and her pretty little face had an indescribable serious look.

It felt a little wrong!

But, I couldn't feel it.

However, after making sure that Jinxiu was fine, An Ning didn't knock on the door again. Turning around, he came to the door of the princess's room.

"Princess."

"Come in."

An Ning pushed the door and walked into the room, paying respects to the princess as usual.

In the cold room.

Li Piaomiao sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes were indifferent, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

An Ning came to the princess and stood quietly.

Li Piaomiao seemed to notice something and glanced at her: "Where is Jinxiu?"

"She hasn't gotten up yet."

An Ning confessed honestly.

Li Piaomiao seemed to be stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.

An Ning stood aside, tilting her head, looking at her own princess.

Soon, An Ning found that the princess's complexion was not very good today, and she seemed a little listless?

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Li Piaomiao slightly shifted her gaze and looked out the window, her tone still calm.

"I'm fine."

"..."

On the other side.

In Jinxiu's room.

After tricking An Ning outside the door away, Jinxiu felt relieved on the bed.

On that delicate and beautiful face, an indescribable shame and anger appeared again.

Why do I feel like a thief?

I have to be so cautious?

"It's all his fault!"

Jinxiu thought bitterly, her eyes full of resentment.

Last night, Lin Jiangnian came to her room with bad intentions.

Jinxiu fought desperately, but in the end she still couldn't stop Lin Jiangnian's clutches... He succeeded again!

Compared to the first time she was drugged, she was confused. This time, Jinxiu's senses and experiences were extremely clear and memorable!

So, after recovering, Jinxiu felt ashamed to see people!

How could...

How could she fall again?

After waking up, Jinxiu shamefully found a reasonable excuse for herself... It must be because the effect of the drug last time has not completely dissipated.

She was affected again!

... It must be like this!

After finding an excuse to comfort herself, Jinxiu gradually calmed down.

Last night, Lin Jiangnian originally planned to stay overnight, but Jinxiu refused to agree.

This is an inn with many people and eyes.

If Lin Jiangnian stayed, if he was discovered by someone tomorrow morning, the consequences would be disastrous.

Especially if An Ning found out... She would be ashamed to see people!

So, Lin Jiangnian was driven back to his room in the middle of the night.

Jinxiu, tired from traveling all day and being tossed around by Lin Jiangnian for half the night, was exhausted physically and mentally, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

Then, she was awakened by An Ning's knock on the door.

When Jinxiu woke up, she found that she was still naked, and the room was in a mess, which was unbearable to look at.

Fortunately, she locked the door last night, otherwise if An Ning broke in... she really didn't want to live!

After An Ning left, Jinxiu breathed a deep sigh of relief, sat up, looked at the messy bed, and scolded His Highness in shame.

The light coming through the window in the early morning fell on the girl's snow-white skin, reflecting a delicate, beautiful and angry face.

Biting her lower lip, her hair was a little messy, looking like a 'spoiled' little resentful woman.

Wasn’t it just last night that I was ‘spoiled’?

Afterwards, Jinxiu adjusted her mood, got up, got dressed, picked up the clothes scattered on the bed and on the ground one by one, and put them on one by one.

Afterwards, the traces in the room were 'destroyed'. After all the 'evidences' were destroyed and no traces could be seen, Jinxiu finally felt relieved.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, I looked at my pink and messy face in the bronze mirror. I stared blankly for a few times. Then I made a face at myself in the bronze mirror and started to dress up.

After everything was settled and after seeing herself in the bronze mirror regaining her former 'cold' and 'elegant' temperament, Jinxiu hummed with satisfaction.

I seem to be in a good mood, a little happy!

Get up, open the door, and come to the door of the princess's room.

Knock on the door, open the door and walk in.

inside the room.

Li Miaomiao was still sitting in front of the window. When she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned back and looked at Jinxiu who entered the room.

Eyes calm.

An Ning on the side also cast his gaze on Jinxiu, as if he was observing something.

For some reason, Jinxiu, who walked into the room, noticed that the princess was staring at her...

I don’t know if it’s an illusion!

The princess' gaze today seems to be heavier than before!

This made Jinxiu feel a little uneasy.

Is it an illusion?

Or do you feel guilty and think too much?

Thinking of being 'ruined' by His Highness again last night, Jinxiu felt even more guilty towards the princess.

Although the princess said she didn't mind, Jinxiu always felt uneasy about stealing her own princess's man...

Not to mention...

She also vowed last night that she wanted His Highness to go down and capture her princess... This was a proper 'eating the inside out'!

Thinking of this, Jinxiu felt even more guilty.

He lowered his head slightly, came to the princess, and whispered: "Princess..."

"Um."

Li Piaomiao's tone was neither cold nor indifferent.

Just when Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and thought everything was fine, she suddenly heard the princess speak.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Hearing the words last night, Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the princess ask how he slept, his anxious heart relaxed slightly.

But even so, Jinxiu's heart was still extremely nervous.

"It's okay..."

Growing uneasy.

I feel ashamed of the princess...

"Um."

Li Piaomiao did not continue to ask: "Pack up and get ready to continue on your way."

"yes."

Jinxiu and An Ning nodded.

Li Miaomiao stood up and left the room, leaving An Ning in the room staring at Jinxiu.

"What are you watching me do again?!"

Jinxiu glared at An Ning, not feeling comfortable with it.

An Ning had no expression on her face, looked away, ignored her, and followed the princess' footsteps and left the room.

"strange……"

Jinxiu murmured, but still breathed a sigh of relief and followed out the door.

In the inn, everyone has already gotten up.

In the hotel lobby.

Lin Jiangnian was sitting in the hall having a meal. Xu Lan had just woken up for a while, but was still not fully awake. Sitting next to him, he was yawning continuously. Xiao Lu beside him was a little helpless about this.

When the eldest princess came down, Xiaolu beside her poked her princess. When Xu Lan saw this, she immediately became energetic.

Glancing at the eldest princess, she subconsciously shrank her neck, feeling as if the concubine had seen the eldest lady.

Lin Jiangnian naturally noticed it and was happy!

I really didn't expect that Xu Lan would be so afraid of Li Piaomiao?

It’s really pure identity and bloodline suppression!

but……

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at Li Miaomiao. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but there was something strange in his eyes.

Jinxiu's words last night made Lin Jiangnian recall many details that he had not noticed before.

Now that I saw the eldest princess again, I felt another strange state of mind.

"Morning!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and greeted.

Li Miaomiao's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian and Xu Lan beside him, and he nodded lightly.

"Have you eaten? Let's have something to eat together?"

Lin Jiangnian greeted.

But as soon as he said the words, he felt his feet being stepped on under the table.

Turning around, he saw Xu Lan staring at him anxiously, as if she was in a panic as to why you called her here.

"how?"

Lin Jiangnian asked knowingly.

"fine!"

Xu Lan was a little annoyed, snorted softly, and turned her head away.

Li Piaomiao glanced at Lin Jiangnian, then at Xu Lan, and said lightly: "That's fine."

She walked over to the table and sat down.

The moment Li Miaomiao sat down, he could clearly feel Xu Lan stiffening on the other side.

Somewhat restless.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at her. The liveliness of the past is gone, and I have even become a little nervous and at a loss...

"I, I'm full..."

Under the table, Xu Lan angrily stepped on Lin Jiangnian's feet again, then stood up, stammered nervously, and ran away.

Xiaolu on the side also quickly followed, and the master and servant quickly disappeared.

"You are so awesome!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Li Miaomiao and sighed.

"Um?"

Li Piaomiao didn't know why and raised her eyes to look at him.

"Look, you scared her away as soon as you came. It's true that one thing brings down another."

Li Piaomiao looked indifferently: "Am I scary?"

"That's not true."

"Then why is she afraid of me?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe it's bloodline suppression, right?"

"Bloodline suppression?"

"You are the majestic Princess Daning. How can she not be afraid of you?"

Hearing this, Li Miaomiao was silent for a moment and said expressionlessly: "Is it just because of this?"

"if not?"

"Isn't it because..."

Li Piaomiao paused and glanced at him meaningfully: "Is she your woman?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiangnian's smile was obviously taken aback.

He heard the meaning of Li Piaomiao's words.

She is...

Lin Jiangnian looked carefully at Li Miaomiao in front of him, staring at the expression on her face: "What do you mean by this...?"

Asking knowingly!

However, Li Piaomiao obviously had no intention of answering Lin Jiangnian's question.

Don't speak anymore.

Lower your head and start eating.

As expected of the eldest princess of Daning, she has been trained in court etiquette since she was a child, and her every move is full of elegance.

It looks pleasing to the eye!

The eldest princess in front of her almost meets all the advantages of the vase!

Lin Jiangnian admired it quietly for a while, then raised his eyes and happened to see sisters An Ning and Jinxiu coming downstairs not far away, and he called them over.

An Ning and Jinxiu approached each other. Although they were maids of the eldest princess, they did not pay attention to the order of master and servant in private.

An Ning was shy, and she was still a little hesitant at first, but Jinxiu beside her had already pulled her over to sit down.

Whether intentionally or not, Jinxiu was sitting where Xu Lan had been sitting just now.

She raised her eyes and glanced to the side, seeing Lin Jiangnian looking at her with a smile on his face and asking in a concerned tone: "Did you sleep well last night?"

As soon as these words came out, Jinxiu's face immediately turned red.

Him, which pot does he not open and lift?

Didn't he care whether he slept well or not last night?

Asking knowingly? !

Jinxiu glared at him in shame and gritted her teeth: "Very good! Okay!"

"That's good."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, looking relieved: "After you have a good rest, you will have the energy to continue on your way."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"

Jinxiu Pi said with a smile.

"It should."

Lin Jiangnian looked like he didn't need to worry about it, and then asked: "What about your body? Is there anything wrong with you?"

It sounds like a normal concern and greeting, but how can Jinxiu think of it as normal?

Suddenly I remembered the scene of being tortured last night...

He definitely did it on purpose!

Jinxiu couldn't bear it any longer, her head was slightly lowered, and she remained calm on the surface.

But under the table, lift your legs and exert force.

Step on it!

He stepped on Lin Jiangnian hard!

Lin Jiangnian's expression remained as usual and calm, and his eyes looking at Jinxiu were full of amusement.

Jinxiu was angry, he wasn't afraid of pain, was he?

Lifting your legs, you want to step down harder again!

But just as she made a move, a big hand suddenly covered her thigh, rubbing it through the hem of the gauze skirt.

Jinxiu's delicate body trembled suddenly, and her beautiful eyes widened in vain.
