Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Lin Hengzhong's calculations are indeed very loud!

After Lin Jiangnian understood his idea, he had to admit that his plan was indeed feasible.

Even if it can be implemented smoothly, the Prince Lin's Mansion in the future will not only be able to get rid of the threat of the imperial court, but even reach a higher level.

Supporting Li Miaomiao to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor is a win-win situation for both Li Miaomiao and Prince Lin's Mansion.

With Li Miaomiao alone, no matter how good she is, it will be difficult for her to achieve anything. But once there was the support of Prince Lin's Mansion, things became much easier.

Lin Hengzhong is right, fists can solve almost everything in the world.

And Prince Lin's fist is just big enough now!

With the support of Prince Lin's Mansion, even if there are still voices of opposition in the world, it will not cause too much trouble.

For Prince Lin's Mansion, the biggest dilemma it faces now is the constant threat from the imperial court to cut down the vassalage.

No matter which emperor is sitting in the court, he will always be wary of and be on guard against the heavily-armed Prince Lin's Mansion. In this case, it would be better to take the initiative, push a new emperor to the throne, and take control of the situation.

And Li Miaomiao is the best candidate!

Of course, there is an extremely important prerequisite before this...

Li Miaomiao is not a simple woman. No one can guarantee whether she will fall out and deal with Prince Lin's Mansion in the future if she really comes to power?

Lin Hengzhong would not be stupid enough to cultivate a huge threat. Therefore, the prerequisite for Lin Wangfu to help her was that Li Miaomiao must become a member of Linwangfu.

As for how to become a member of the Prince's Palace?

The answer is obvious.

She, Li Miaomiao, was Lin Jiangnian's fiancée in name only, so now it would be natural for her...

Of course, this is far from enough.

Lin Hengzhong made two requests. First, Li Miaomiao married Lin Jiangnian and became the eldest concubine of Prince Lin's palace. As a result, Prince Lin's Mansion naturally had a reason to send troops for support.

The second is to ask Li Miaomiao to conceive and give birth to Lin Jiangnian's child!

Once she has a child, she will be completely bound to the Lin family. Even though the two were not married, Li Miaomiao was pregnant with someone from the Lin family. No matter what happens, this bloodline is enough to make Prince Lin's Mansion invincible.

Retreat to defend, advance to attack!

If the imperial court and Prince Lin's Mansion can coexist peacefully, it will naturally be the best outcome. But if Li Miaomiao falls out, or if the future ruler once again thinks of falling out with Lin Wangfu, Linwangfu will naturally not be afraid.

After all, by that time, who doesn’t have some royal blood in their body?

Your Majesty, your Li family can sit here, but the descendants of my Lin family cannot?

…

After absorbing and digesting these things, Lin Jiangnian planned to talk to Li Miaomiao.

After all, there's a lot at stake!

The conditions proposed by Lin Hengzhong were somewhat difficult to achieve.

Not to mention whether Li Miaomiao is willing to marry or not, it is even more difficult to say about having children... How much sacrifice does this require?

More importantly, during the conversation last night, Lin Jiangnian could see that Li Miaomiao was not interested in being an empress.

This is the crux of the matter!

If Li Piaomiao had no idea about this, all his plans would be in vain.

Lin Jiangnian thought for a long time and decided to find out what the eldest princess was thinking first!

He turned around and came to the small courtyard where the eldest princess and others lived. The courtyard was quiet and quiet. As a distinguished guest from the capital, the eldest princess was regarded as the future concubine in the eyes of the palace servants, so she was naturally arranged in the best guest room in the palace.

The courtyard was quiet, and there was no one else except the twin sisters, the eldest princess and Jinxiu Anning. The maids in the house will not come in and out at will, and the courtyard is very large, making it a bit empty and deserted.

However, the eldest princess really liked such an environment.

Jinxiu and An Ning also like not to be disturbed by others, which is exactly what they want.

Lin Jiangnian stepped into the courtyard. Not long after walking, he saw a beautiful figure under the eaves on the other side.

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian, who was about to step forward subconsciously, paused again. His eyes first fell on that delicate and beautiful face, and he looked at it carefully. Then his eyes slowly moved down the face. When he saw the shallow face, When the purple clouds and long clothes wrapped Yuanman, Lin Jiangnian was finally sure.

It’s Jinxiu!

"beautiful?"

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward with confidence, but saw Jinxiu's face full of sadness, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Jinxiu was sitting on the bench under the eaves, holding up her little face. Her face was full of hopelessness and low mood.

He lowered his head and was dejected.

When she heard Lin Jiangnian's voice, she suddenly looked resentful and glared at him.

"It's not all your fault."

"Blame me?"

When Lin Jiangnian heard this, he thought he was so good and hadn't done anything, so why did he blame him again?

Thinking about it, Lin Jiangnian sat down next to her. Seeing her appearance, he was a little worried: "Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

"snort."

Jinxiu snorted softly, as if she was slightly resentful.

After a while, he said sadly: "An Ning ignored me."

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "What's going on? Why is An Ning ignoring you? Are you bullying her?"

"You just bullied her!"

Hearing this, Jinxiu felt angry: "I told you, it's all your fault!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt a little stunned... Could it be that An Ning told her what happened last night?

Just when Lin Jiangnian was hesitating about what to say, Jinxiu looked up at Lin Jiangnian and said in a disappointed tone: "An Ning, she..."

"I know our relationship..."

When she said this, Jinxiu was obviously embarrassed and her face turned slightly red. But when he thought of something, his eyes dimmed again.

"knew?!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, a little surprised, and asked, "Did you tell her?"

"She has suspected it for a long time..."

Jinxiu felt a little guilty. She did accidentally leak the news last night, but she didn't admit it: "It's still all your fault..."

"You always bully me, and An Ning is not a fool. She has seen it all and has long suspected..."

Seeing Jinxiu's angry look, Lin Jiangnian smiled, stretched out his arms to hug her, and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? She will know sooner or later anyway. She is your sister, so what if she knows?"

"Can she still have any objections?"

"You still have the nerve to say that?!"

Jinxiu was a little nervous when Lin Jiangnian hugged her shoulders. She quickly broke away and glared at him: "What do you mean, she was angry with me just because of this incident, and now she doesn't care about me!"

"It's all your fault!"

"Ignore you?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect it, "What's going on?"

"She called me a liar."

Jinxiu faintly said.

She originally planned to interrogate An Ning last night, but she accidentally exposed her relationship with His Highness.

The result is... An Ning is angry!

Call her a liar!

Very angry!

The key point is that Jinxiu can't refute it. After all, she used to speak ill of His Highness to An Ning and make An Ning be careful. But now, she secretly gets close to His Highness herself.

So much so that Jinxiu didn't have the nerve to retort when An Ning questioned her. This morning, when she went to look for An Ning, she found that An Ning still ignored her and was obviously still angry.

This makes Jinxiu very sad and annoyed!

"I told you that you shouldn't have hidden An Ning from the beginning."

After learning the whole story, Lin Jiangnian was also a little surprised.

An Ning actually gets angry?

It’s quite unexpected!

That little girl looks weak and timid, what will she look like when she gets angry?

I've never seen it before.

"You still say?!"

Jinxiu's expression became increasingly resentful: "That's not the problem at all, okay?!"

Of course she knew why An Ning was angry. As a sister, she could feel An Ning's emotions. Because of this, she didn't know how to explain it.

A little ashamed...

"What now?"

Seeing the troubled look on her face, Lin Jiang asked with a smile.

"If I knew, would I still be like this?"

Jinxiu's face fell down and she said glumly: "Please help me think of a solution!"

"Don't you often quarrel?"

"This time is different!"

Jinxiu argued that although they had been noisy before, it was nothing like this time.

She could feel that An Ning was really angry!

I really have a problem with her.

"How about you go and apologize to her?"

Lin Jiangnian made a suggestion: "You are sisters after all. Let's talk about it, talk it out, and apologize."

"I tried, but she ignored me!"

Jinxiu went to An Ning in the morning and wanted to apologize to her, but An Ning ignored her and didn't even want to talk to her.

This made Jinxiu even more panicked.

She used to be angry, but not like she is now. It seems she doesn't recognize her as a sister anymore.

"Help me think of a solution!"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian for help, biting her lower lip: "You are also responsible for this matter... Please think of a solution quickly."

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while and asked tentatively: "How about I go find An Ning and talk?"

He wondered if An Ning was angry not just because Jinxiu kept it from her. Or maybe it's because he accidentally 'offended' her last night?

He really should apologize to An Ning for what happened last night.

Right now.

When Jinxiu heard Lin Jiangnian's suggestion, she instinctively hesitated at first... She was worried that His Highness was trying to make peace.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way to go now?

If An Ning ignores her, she can't call her princess, right?

So, the only one who can help persuade now is Lin Jiangnian. After all, he is also a party involved, and he has to take responsibility for this matter.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu finally made up her mind and nodded: "Then, go and persuade An Ning... By the way, apologize for me!"

"..."

When Lin Jiangnian came outside An Ning's room, he realized that An Ning was not in the room. I searched around the yard, but couldn't find him.

Where are people?

When I asked the maids outside the door, they had not seen An Ning go out.

Upon hearing the news, Jinxiu panicked at first.

"Where did An Ning go? She, she won't be angry and run away from home, can she not think about it anymore?"

Thinking of this possibility, Jinxiu's expression suddenly changed, and some of her beauty faded.

Lin Jiangnian comforted him: "Don't worry, An Ning will be fine."

This is Prince Lin's Mansion after all. It is not difficult for An Ning to avoid the maids outside the courtyard and leave quietly, but it is not that simple for her to avoid the many masters hidden in the palace.

Therefore, she must still be in the palace.

After calming Jinxiu down, Lin Jiangnian immediately sent someone to look for her.

Not long after, there was news of peace brought by servants.

"Your Highness, I saw Miss An Ning go to the Sun Moon Lake in the backyard of the palace alone not long ago."

Sun Moon Lake?

Isn't that Ruyi Tower?

What did An Ning go there for alone?

"..."

Sun Moon Lake, outside Ruyi Tower.

The lake was rippled with breeze, the sun was shining, and willow branches were hanging down on the lake, swaying gently with the wind.

A sword-holding girl in a white skirt was sitting under a big tree, holding a sword in her arms, her hands on her knees, looking ahead with a dazed look, not knowing what she was thinking.

The fair face was delicate and tender, giving people an indescribable sense of tenderness. Especially the confused look at this moment, it made people love her even more.

She sat there alone, surrounded by silence, almost blending into the surrounding scenery.

She looked inexplicably pitiful.

She looked at the lake in front of her, and her eyes fell on the Ruyi Tower in the middle of the lake not far away, staring blankly for a long time.

Until, suddenly, a subtle sound of footsteps sounded.

In an instant, her eyes changed.

From the moment she was in a daze, she was instantly full of vigilance and sharp murderous intent, and she turned back suddenly.

And her white little hand had already fallen on the hilt of the sword, ready to unsheathe at any time.

But the next second, when she saw the person who appeared in her sight, she became confused again. There was a bit of panic and shame on her face, and her originally cold face seemed to be painted with a layer of bright red.

Her eyes dodged, and the whole person seemed to lose all her calmness in an instant. Almost instinctively, she wanted to get up and run away.

"An Ning!"

Seeing that An Ning was about to run away like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him, Lin Jiangnian hurriedly spoke.

Unexpectedly, after he said this, An Ning ran faster.

Her steps staggered, as if she was greatly frightened, and she ran away.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

He didn't expect that An Ning's reaction would be so big!

Is she afraid to see him at all?

Seeing that An Ning was about to run away, Lin Jiangnian hurriedly chased after her.

"Wait, An Ning, stop first, I have something to tell you..."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

"What happened last night was a misunderstanding, don't..."

It would have been better if Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, An Ning's pace became faster. In the end, she almost trotted, her body was unstable, and she staggered, as if she was avoiding something terrible.

"If you run again, I will tell your princess what happened between us last night!"

Seeing that An Ning had no intention of stopping, Lin Jiangnian finally took out his trump card.

As expected, when these words came out. An Ning, who was originally fleeing, suddenly stopped and listened.

The whole person seemed to be frozen in place, not daring to move.

Under the slightly messy black hair, the fair and pretty little face was full of blush, and the pair of eyes that used to be bright were now wide open, full of fear and anxiety.

She stood stiffly in place, not daring to turn around, her heartbeat accelerated.

I want to run, but I don’t dare!

…
