Prince An's eyes, like black jade, condensed with a very thin chill when he turned his head.

He highly recognized Jiang Chi's abilities and also his character.

But Jiang Chi and Lin Luoling are not biological siblings after all, and Jiang Chi is too concerned about Lin Luoling's affairs, which makes him inevitably feel uneasy.

If Jiang Chi falls in love with Lin Luoling, he will be his biggest rival, but Prince An has always valued and loved talents. Besides, Lin Luoling has not yet divorced Zhu Xianzhi. If he rashly mentions to Jiang Chi that he falls in love with Lin Luoling, he is afraid of damaging Lin Luoling's reputation.

Prince An stood with his hands behind his back, rubbing his fingers, and asked with a smile: "If you want to take Ling'er to relax, why not wait until tomorrow morning to go. Princess July must have been bored staying in Jingfu Temple these two days, so you can take her with you."

Jiang Chi clasped his fists and bowed, then lied, "I shouldn't have disobeyed the wishes of His Royal Highness Prince An, but this matter concerns the secrets of the Lin family. Under the instructions of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, I can only take Sister Ling'er there late at night."

How could Jiang Chi not understand Prince An's intention? He raised his head, coughed lightly, and deliberately said, "Your Highness Prince An knows my heart very well. He knows that I want to be related to His Highness Prince An, so he often gives me opportunities. After breakfast tomorrow, I will take Princess July out for a walk alone."

Prince An paused while stroking his fingers, realizing that Jiang Chi was interested in Princess July, and smiled, "I see."

But he was still a little worried. After all, it was getting late, so he couldn't help asking, "When will you be back?"

Jiang Chi thought for a moment and replied, "In an hour."

Prince An nodded and watched Jiang Chi and Lin Luoling leave Jingxin Courtyard, pass through the bamboo forest, and disappear into the night.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Jiang Chi said to Lin Luoling: "It's an emergency, I'm sorry for the offense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chi embraced Lin Luoling's slender waist, jumped up, and his feet seemed to be stepping on the breeze.

Lin Luoling asked in surprise: "Are you doing Qinggong? Or flying?"

Jiang Chi smiled proudly and said, "Of course it's Qinggong. I'm not a Taoist immortal, how can I fly?"

However, Jiang Chi's flying speed was quite fast. It only took him a quarter of an hour to carry Lin Luoling from Jingfu Temple to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Luoling only felt that the scenery beside her was shaking rapidly backwards. When she could see clearly, Jiang Chi had already brought her to the rockery of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Luoling looked at the stone steps that suddenly appeared and frowned, "Is there a mechanism in this rockery? Where is the mechanism?"

Jiang Chi did not answer her question, and said solemnly: "Follow me!"

After saying that, Jiang Chi walked down the stairs, and Lin Luoling followed closely behind him.

Lin Luoling found that when they entered the rockery, the exposed stone cave on it disappeared instantly.

Coming to the library again, Lin Luoling looked around carefully.

Jiang Chi said, "No need to look. This is a library on the surface, but in fact, in the cabinets below, your father has collected private information about officials from various countries and counties in the name of business for Your Majesty. He will report it to Your Majesty in secret."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling looked at Jiang Chi in disbelief.

Jiang Chi took out two secret letters from one of the cabinets and handed them to Lin Luoling. Lin Luoling read ten lines at a glance in the dim candlelight.

There were two secret letters. One was written after her father returned to Jingxuzhou, where he initially learned that the Jingxuzhou governor Qi Jian had colluded with local tyrants and secretly recruited soldiers.

There were ink marks on it and the sentences were very sharp. It was obvious that it was a secret letter drafted by her father. As for the secret letter that was later submitted to His Majesty, how it was written was naturally unknown.

Another secret letter was written by Emperor Deshun to her father, asking her father to open a branch of the jewelry shop in the four states of Jiangnan on the pretext of expanding business, and to arrange for appropriate personnel to gain insight into the local powerful families in the four states of Jiangnan.

Lin Luoling's fingers were shaking slightly as she held the letter. She clearly remembered that when she was three or four years old and just started to remember things, Qi Jian, the former governor of Xuzhou, was executed by beheading.

At that time, many people set off firecrackers in the streets, cheered and praised His Majesty for eliminating evil for the people.

More than a month later, Cao Peng took up the post of governor of Xuzhou.

So, her father did not resign from office, but became a spy secretly deployed by Emperor Deshun?

Lin Luoling looked at Jiang Chi in a daze, "My mother knows my father..."

Jiang Chi nodded and said, "Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin have a very close relationship and can talk about anything. At the beginning, the Empress and Concubine Chen wanted to win over your father to work for them, but your father was grateful for your majesty's recognition, and your majesty did not want your father to be targeted and framed in the court because of his polite refusal, and he was unable to protect your father.

I think after deep thought, Your Majesty summoned Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin to the palace. After Aunt Lin agreed, Uncle Lin resigned and returned to Xuzhou the next day. "

Lin Luoling frowned and asked, "How did you know?"

Jiang Chi, with his arms crossed, tilted his head and pointed to the cabinet in the corner, saying, "This prince has read all the secret letters here. In that cabinet is the life-saving talisman that His Majesty gave to Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin."

"You've seen it all?" Lin Luoling was shocked. Doesn't that mean Jiang Chi knows all the secrets between his father and His Majesty?

"Prince An also knows about this? That's why he took the trouble to help me divorce Zhu Xianzhi as soon as possible?" Lin Luoling asked.

Jiang Chi raised his hand and gently patted Lin Luoling's forehead, saying: "Your Highness Prince An naturally doesn't know. Do you think His Majesty told His Highness Prince An everything? Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin love and pamper you like their sweetheart, but they didn't tell you about this, did they?

Are you stupid? Can't you see that Prince An likes you?"

Jiang Chi hissed and continued, "You are so smart, don't tell me you didn't see it. I am also wondering, Prince An is handsome and his status is impeccable.

What? Are you afraid that if you marry him in the future, people will criticize you for being a second wife, or do you think you are not capable of sitting firmly on the throne of queen?"

Jiang Chi didn't hit me hard, Lin Luoling pretended to be in pain and rubbed her forehead, snorting, "Your Highness Prince An is His Majesty's most beloved prince. If His Majesty wanted me to be Princess An, he would have issued an imperial decree to grant us marriage. Would he still let me marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion?

After Zhu Xianzhi and I divorced, it is even more impossible for His Majesty to agree to let His Royal Highness Prince An marry me as his concubine, and as the queen. You are really thinking too much for me. "

"Pfft"...

Jiang Chi laughed out loud, "Sister Ling'er, His Royal Highness Prince An is only twenty years old, and His Majesty has not yet granted him a marriage. It's not because His Royal Highness Prince An is in poor health, nor is it because His Majesty doesn't have someone in mind.

The important thing is that His Royal Highness Prince An insisted on choosing his own princess. His Majesty, having lost Concubine Li, was deeply troubled, so he naturally hoped that His Royal Highness Prince An could choose someone he liked to become Princess An.

His Royal Highness Prince An likes you. After you and Zhu Xianzhi divorce, Princess An will naturally fall on you.

When you become the queen one day, you don't have to worry. I'll be your brother's helper. What are you afraid of? I can not only fight against the heavens, the earth, and the gods, but I can also fight against thousands of troops with my own strength. "

At this point, Jiang Chi's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "There is one thing I think you all overlooked."

"what's up?"

Jiang Chi frowned and said, "The Three-Sun Soul-pulling Flower was once a flower planted in a small country in the southern border a thousand years ago. It has disappeared for nearly a thousand years. How did King Rui get to own this flower? And there are still quite a few of them."

Lin Luoling's eyes widened as she blurted out, "Are you suspecting that King Rui is colluding with the small country in the southern border?"
