Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

It was evening.

The sunset covered most of the sky, covering the entire Linwang Mansion, and illuminating the courtyard with a golden glow.

Under the eaves, Jinxiu held up her little face, looking at the courtyard boredly, tearing the flowers and plants beside the eaves from time to time, leaving a piece of debris on the ground.

She looked at the sunset and couldn't help sighing.

She seemed to be worried.

On the other side of the corridor, An Ning, dressed in white, leaned against the eaves column, holding a sword in her arms, and looked at the scene expressionlessly.

Her temperament was cold, and there was no emotion on her tender face. Her eyes fell on Jinxiu from time to time.

No words.

The two sisters seemed to keep silent in tacit understanding.

"Ah..."

Jinxiu's sigh briefly broke the silence.

She looked up at An Ning not far away, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

An Ning leaned against the eaves, reaching out to gently stroke the sword in her arms, with a blank expression on her face.

Jinxiu did not speak, and she remained silent.

Soon, the tacit understanding between the two was broken by a sudden footstep.

As soon as Lin Jiangnian walked into the yard, he saw the two sisters in such a strange silence.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Jiangnian looked around at the twin sisters. They were both in the yard, but no one spoke.

The atmosphere in the yard was a little weird.

"Your Highness."

Jinxiu, who was still holding her little face in a daze, saw Lin Jiangnian appear, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, blinked, and stood up subconsciously.

"Why are you here?"

"Come to see you." Lin Jiangnian said.

Hearing this, Jinxiu's face flushed, and she subconsciously glanced at An Ning on the other side.

Seeing that An Ning had turned her head away at some point, she could not see the expression on her face clearly, leaving only a cold profile.

Jinxiu glared at Lin Jiangnian with some embarrassment. How could His Highness, this guy, in front of An Ning...

"Your Highness, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Yes."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I came to borrow someone from you."

"Borrow someone?"

Jinxiu was startled, "Who does Your Highness want to borrow?"

"An Ning."

Lin Jiangnian spoke and turned his head to look at the girl in white in the corridor.

In the corridor, An Ning, who was originally slightly lowering her head in a daze, suddenly heard her name.

Subconsciously raised her head and happened to meet Lin Jiangnian's eyes. At the moment of eye contact, as if she felt a hot gaze coming at her, An Ning instinctively dodged in panic and quickly lowered her head again.

Thoughts were confused.

Frightened and at a loss.

Borrow, borrow her?

What does His Highness want to borrow her for? !

An Ning's mind was full of doubts and uneasiness.

"Borrow An Ning?"

The smile on Jinxiu's face also disappeared.

She looked at An Ning, then at Lin Jiangnian, her eyes instantly became suspicious: "What do you want to borrow An Ning for?"

"I'm going out to do something."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at An Ning and explained: "I might run into some trouble, so I need to borrow An Ning from you."

Jinxiu instantly understood what was going on: "Is there any danger?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "Just to be safe, just in case."

He originally planned to ask the eldest princess for help, but at present, his relationship with the eldest princess was in an awkward state, so it was not easy to speak directly.

After thinking about it, An Ning was a better choice.

This little girl is good at martial arts, obedient, and very useful, just right...

"I'll go with you."

Hearing that there might be danger, Jinxiu immediately volunteered to go with him.

"Although there is no danger, there might be some trouble."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. Jinxiu didn't know martial arts, so just in case, Lin Jiangnian naturally couldn't take the risk.

Hearing Lin Jiangnian's refusal, Jinxiu was a little unhappy and looked at him with resentment.

"So, you didn't come to see me today, but to see An Ning?"

"I'm worried about your safety. If something happens to you, I'll be sad."

Lin Jiangnian comforted her.

"Heh."

Jinxiu sneered: "You just dislike me for being a burden, right?"

"Why?"

Lin Jiangnian reached out to touch her head, but Jinxiu dodged him.

"I have another thing that I need your help with."

"No."

"Don't you want to listen first?"

"I don't want to help."

"..."

Jinxiu was indeed a little unhappy. Lin Jiangnian came to find her sister and wanted to leave her here.

Although she knew that Lin Jiangnian had something important to do, but...unhappy is unhappy!

Perhaps since she decided on Lin Jiangnian in her heart, she often had some such emotions.

Especially...he was going to take An Ning away!

Although she knew that he was going to do something serious, who could guarantee that this guy wouldn't take the opportunity to do something to An Ning?

However, although she was unhappy, Jinxiu was not an unreasonable person. After Lin Jiangnian coaxed her, she calmed down.

Lin Jiangnian leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

After listening, Jinxiu was stunned again: "Is it related to the princess?"

"It has nothing to do with her, but it's just in case..."

Lin Jiangnian held her little hand, looked at her, and said solemnly: "This is also a very important matter. It's about me and your princess, and it's all up to you."

"Humph."

Jinxiu snorted lightly and nodded in agreement.

"Then, how long are you going to go?"

"It shouldn't take long."

Lin Jiangnian made an estimate: "I'll be back soon."

"When will you leave?"

"Now."

"Now?"

Jinxiu was a little surprised: "Are you in such a hurry?"

"It's really a bit urgent."

Lin Jiangnian stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "Look, didn't I come to you specifically to borrow peace of mind?"

"snort!"

Jinxiu turned her face away in embarrassment, not letting Lin Jiangnian continue to take advantage of her: "What's the point of borrowing it from me? You have to ask her herself."

Listening to this tone, it is obviously a bit tasteful.

Lin Jiangnian came closer: "Aren't you An Ning's sister? Of course I want to say hello to you first and listen to your opinion!"

The sister's voice of peace immediately wiped away all the tasteful emotions in Jinxiu's heart.

Her eyes narrowed slightly when she smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face: "Your Highness, you can speak, which is enough, you go ahead..."

"However, you are not allowed to do anything to An Ning. If you dare to bully An Ning, I, I will not be polite to you!"

Before leaving, Jinxiu made a habitual threat.

"Don't worry, you still don't understand who I am?"

"Tsk, His Highness is a bad person, Sepi... is not a good person anyway."

"..."

After some fighting, and after calming Jinxiu down, Lin Jiangnian came to An Ning.

"peaceful."

"ah?"

An Ning raised her eyes in panic, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and then looked away in panic.

This little girl is still so timid.

"I need to go out for a while, can you go with me?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice was very soft and his tone was as gentle as possible.

An Ning was silent for a while.

She naturally heard the conversation between Lin Jiangnian and Jinxiu just now, and also saw the flirting between His Highness and Jinxiu.

There was a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't put into words.

It's just inexplicably... dazzling!

I still feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable.

After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, she glanced at Jinxiu out of habit. Seeing Jinxiu looking at her, her expression seemed a little worried, and there seemed to be some... warning in her eyes?

What are you worried about?

An Ning quickly understood Jinxiu's eyes... It seemed that he was worried about what would happen between her and His Highness, and it seemed that he was 'warning' her to be careful of His Highness's evil intentions...

Jinxiu had taken the trouble to mention it to her many times before.

But this time...

For some reason, An Ning suddenly felt a rebellious mentality.

It is obviously you who said that His Highness is not good at all, that His Highness is very bad, and that you should stay away from His Highness, and must not be deceived by His Highness... But what about yourself?

You yourself are getting along with His Highness!

And you lie to yourself!

An Ning bit her lower lip, and the rebellious emotion in her heart quickly took root.

She had never felt such an emotion before, and she even felt a hint of... excitement!

She raised her head again and looked at Lin Jiangnian.

There seemed to be some brilliance in those cold eyes, and she nodded her head heavily.

"good."

…

In the courtyard, Jinxiu felt inexplicably uneasy as she watched His Highness and An Ning leaving one after another.

Especially An Ning's reaction just now...

This little girl, doesn’t she have any other ideas?

No way?

Jinxiu looked at An Ning following His Highness, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.

At that moment, she could clearly feel a different aura from An Ning's body.

This late at night, His Highness went out with An Ning... What if after finishing the business, His Highness would have to do other things?

Thinking of this, Jinxiu became more and more worried and restless.

no!

Thinking of this, Jinxiu gritted her teeth. How could she have just agreed to let His Highness go out alone with An Ning?

Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

We must find a solution quickly.

Jinxiu walked around for a moment and quickly remembered Lin Jiangnian's instructions just now.

"By the way, there's also a princess!"

Jinxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, she immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the princess's room.

…

The sunset gradually disappeared and the sky became dark.

Lin Jiangnian left Prince Lin's Mansion with An Ning and got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Lin Jiangnian sat opposite An Ning.

The little girl has always had a straight face since she left the palace. At this moment, she was sitting upright in the carriage, her delicate body tensed, her head lowered, her fingers holding the long sword in her arms, and she said nothing.

An Ning was timid to begin with, especially when facing Lin Jiangnian, her timid mood was instantly aroused. Especially now that the two of them were riding in the same carriage, it was even more difficult for the little girl to adapt.

The thoughts in my little head were a little confused.

"peaceful."

Lin Jiangnian noticed her nervousness and spoke.

An Ning lowered his head and did not respond.

"Are you still so afraid of me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

An Ning's head seemed to be lower.

Neither admitted nor denied.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Do you still remember what you promised me a few days ago?"

Hearing this question, An Ning was startled and pursed his lips.

"You promised not to be so nervous or afraid when you see me in the future..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "Do you want to regret it?"

Just before Jinxiu and An Ning had a conflict, Lin Jiangnian found An Ning outside Ruyi Building and had a heart-to-heart talk with An Ning, which made the little girl gradually let go of her guard and fear of him.

An Ning promised well at that time, but now he doesn't admit it?

Hearing this, An Ning lowered his head and opened his eyes slightly.

She also remembered this matter!

No, not afraid?

How could you not be afraid?

She didn't want to be afraid, but she felt some inexplicable instinctive fear in her heart.

"I, I didn't..."

An Ning wanted to refute something, but couldn't.

"Keep your head up."

Lin Jiangnian's voice was still very soft, but it was a bit unquestionable.

An Ning's delicate body trembled slightly, and her breathing became slightly faster.

She remained silent and motionless until after a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to raise her head slightly and look at Lin Jiangnian.

When their eyes met, the girl's dark pupils instinctively wanted to escape in panic.

"You, don't look, look at me..."

An Ning's voice was a little nervous and stuttering, uneasy.

Lin Jiangnian's sight made her unable to adapt.

She always felt like she was being stared at by His Highness, as if she was wearing nothing.

Extremely shy.

"well."

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply.

Knowing that her situation cannot be solved once or twice, she is too timid and needs to figure it out slowly.

"Okay, then I won't look at you anymore."

Lin Jiangnian looked away from her: "But, am I really that scary?"

An Ning was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after a while.

"Your Highness, you are not scary."

"Then why don't you dare to look at me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked: "Are you so afraid of me?"

An Ning was silent for a while: "No, I don't know."

She didn't know why.

She was indeed a little afraid of Lin Jiangnian in the past, maybe because she had heard too many 'bad things' about His Highness, or maybe because when she was at the Princess Residence, he was frightened by His Highness and fell into the lake.

What happened next?

She doesn't seem to be very afraid of His Highness?

Even now...

An Ning also felt that she was not afraid of His Highness, but...

So why?

An Ning is also a little confused.

She has never encountered this kind of situation. She has not known many people since she was a child. Apart from the princess and Jinxiu, the only person she knows is His Highness!

Therefore, she had no idea why this was happening.

I was obviously fine when I saw the princess and Jinxiu, but when I saw His Highness...

An Ning lowered his head and gradually fell into confusion.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian did not disturb her anymore, but from time to time his eyes fell on the beautiful face in front of him that was exactly the same as Jinxiu, and he sighed in his heart.

These sisters are indeed two extremes.

One is an extrovert and the other is an introvert. One has a lively personality and the other is as timid as a mouse.

but……

Thinking of the previous scene when An Ning took action, Lin Jiangnian quickly gave up the idea.

In terms of killing, An Ning is obviously better than Jinxiu.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was staring at the girl holding the sword in front of him, he saw it inadvertently.

The girl's originally fair and delicate face suddenly turned red.

This blush gradually spreads and is so beautiful.

The girl's head seemed to be lower, and she tightened her grip on the sword in her hand, twisting her body uneasily.

Lin Jiangnian was slightly startled when he saw this scene.

Why is she still blushing?
