Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

At three o'clock in the morning, the town is still bustling.

The residents of the town still work at sunrise and rest at sundown. The hawking sounds of the street stores in the town still ring out. Businessmen traveling from south to north pass by here and stop for a short rest.

Some people were rushing by with sad expressions, while others were strolling around leisurely with happy expressions. Everything was as before. What happened outside the town last night attracted almost no one's attention.

Of course, some people noticed something unusual and found some clues outside the town. But other than that, no traces were found.

That's it.

Lin Jiangnian worked hard all night and went to bed just before dawn, sleeping until noon. When I woke up, I got up and left the room. The inn was quiet.

In the lobby of the inn, Xu Lan and Xiao Lu were gathering together, muttering something unknown.

Hearing the sound from behind, he turned around and saw Lin Jiangnian walking down the stairs.

Xu Lan's eyes lit up and she waved to Lin Jiangnian.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Jiangnian approached and came to the master and servant.

"Waiting for you!"

Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian and spoke naturally.

"wait for me?"

Lin Jiangnian was surprised: "What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Who made you sleep until this time?"

Xu Lan rolled her eyes and complained: "So lazy!"

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously stretched out his hand, but Xu Lan avoided it cautiously and covered her head: "Do you still want to hit me?!"

"Hey, pretty smart?"

Lin Jiangnian was happy.

Xu Lan said angrily: "You dare to hit me, I, I..."

Just as she was about to threaten, Miss Xu thought about it but couldn't find anything that could threaten this guy.

Suddenly discouraged!

So angry!

Why can't you catch this guy's weakness?

Xu Lan's eyes became a little gloomy.

It seems like nothing can threaten him?

"Okay, let's talk about what happened."

Lin Jiangnian took back his hand, looked at the master and servant and asked.

"Tell me, what happened last night?!"

Mentioning what happened last night, Xu Lan's eyes lit up obviously and she was very excited.

Last night, Lin Jiangnian took people outside the town. It was said that he was going to intercept the people who were ambushing the Tianshen Sect. Xu Lan originally wanted to follow along to watch the fun, but Lin Jiangnian wouldn't let him!

The reason is naturally very simple... Miss Xu is so capable of getting into trouble. The situation last night seemed like Lin Jiangnian was sure to win, but the followers of the Tianshen Sect should not be underestimated and should not be taken lightly, lest they jump over the wall in a hurry and end up dead. .

Therefore, Lin Jiangnian naturally could not let Xu Lan go over and join in the fun and adventure.

Xu Lan, who was forced to stay in the inn, was naturally unwilling to accept it. She secretly wanted to continue her job and sneaked out of the inn to join in the fun. As a result, he was caught by someone Lin Jiangnian arranged outside the inn in advance... Lin Jiangnian knew Xu Lan's character too well!

This girl is not an honest person!

The more she is not allowed to go, the more rebellious she becomes.

So Lin Jiangnian had a backup plan and he caught Xu Lan.

After being caught red-handed, Miss Xu could only give up in despair and go back to the inn to wait. But she was still very curious and scratching her head about what happened last night. Especially this morning she even saw the soldiers of King Lin's army at the inn, which made her even more surprised and curious.

I really want to know what happened last night!

"Nothing happened!"

Facing the interested and curious eyes of Xu Lan and Xiao Lu, Lin Jiangnian laughed and said, "The Heavenly God Sect sent some masters over, but our people killed them all!"

Xu Lan was waiting for Lin Jiangnian to tell a wonderful story, but suddenly she found that Lin Jiangnian stopped talking after saying one sentence.

"No more?"

"No more!"

"That's it?"

Xu Lan was anxious: "Is this what happened last night?"

"Otherwise?" Lin Jiangnian asked back.

"Stories, where are the wonderful stories?!"

Xu Lan opened her eyes wide: "Such a wonderful story happened last night, and you finished it in one sentence?!"

"What if?"

Lin Jiangnian asked, "What story do you want to hear?"

"Just, just...how did you catch them all?!"

"Kill them all!"

"How to kill?"

"How else to kill someone?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Have you never killed anyone?"

"Of course I didn't!"

Xu Lan spoke subconsciously, but then reacted and said urgently: "Don't change the subject. Did you kill them all? Didn't they resist?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Yes."

"Then how did they resist?" Xu Lan's eyes lit up and she asked.

"They wanted to run."

"Then what?"

"They're all dead."

"..."

Xu Lan: "..."

"You, you, did you do it on purpose?!"

Xu Lan stared at Lin Jiangnian angrily.

Is this guy deliberately making fun of her? !

"Not really."

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and sighed: "They are just a bunch of rabble. Dealing with them is not a casual matter. What wonderful story can this tell?"

Xu Lan was startled for a moment: "But, I heard that those who came last night were middle-level elite masters from the Tianshen Sect?"

"So what?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "In my eyes, they are still just a gang of rabble, vulnerable."

Xu Lan: "..."

Damn it, let him pretend!

Why do I feel so unhappy all of a sudden?

This guy's smug expression is really asking for a beating!

"Humph, you must be lying!"

Xu Lan gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Don't stop me next time, I want to see it myself!"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and agreed casually.

Next time, we'll talk about it next time.

"Where's Qingqing?"

Lin Jiangnian looked outside the inn and asked.

"Sister Qingqing hasn't come back yet."

"Not back yet?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly, and seemed to think of something: "Where's the princess?"

"Is she not here?"

Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.

Obviously, she didn't know that the princess had gone out.

"You didn't see her today?"

"No..."

Xu Lan thought about it, shook her head, and looked back at Xiaolu: "Have you seen Xiaolu?"

"No."

Xiaolu also shook her head. She was a little afraid of the princess, but she hadn't seen her in the past two days.

"Not back yet?!"

Lin Jiangnian frowned even deeper. He had sent a lot of people out to look for her last night, but there was no news coming back now?

Where can she go outside this town?

While thinking, footsteps were heard from the stairs behind him. Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Liu Su coming down from upstairs.

"Why did you get up?"

Seeing Liu Su, Lin Jiangnian stepped forward and wanted to help her, but Liu Su gently shook him off and rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not injured that badly."

"Your injuries are very serious." Lin Jiangnian looked serious, looking at Liu Su's still weak face in front of him.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Liu Su spoke softly, and seeing that Lin Jiangnian's face was still stern, she curled her lips: "The room is too stuffy, I'll go out for a walk and go back later."

Lin Jiangnian's face eased a little: "Take care of yourself, remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable, and remember to take medicine."

"I know, you're so nagging."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Liu Su rolled her beautiful eyes, but still agreed.

After she glanced at Lin Jiangnian, she shifted her gaze to Xu Lan and Xiao Lu in the lobby.

At this time, Xu Lan was also looking at Liu Su, and their eyes met.

Xu Lan was startled at first, and soon a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes... What a beautiful sister!

This sister has a beautiful appearance and amazing temperament. Even if she was seriously injured and looked weak, she still couldn't hide her cold temperament.

Xu Lan couldn't help but admire, a little envious, and a little sour in her heart... This guy, as expected, there is no woman who can be targeted by him who is not good-looking.

All women are beautiful and have outstanding temperament!

This inexplicably puts a lot of pressure on Xu Lan!

Xu Lan, who used to be somewhat confident in her appearance, has gradually begun to doubt herself. Especially when she saw that these sisters she had seen were not only not worse than her in appearance and temperament, but even in terms of figure and other aspects, they were far better than her, which made Xu Lan's inferiority complex even stronger...

Lost!

Xu Lan couldn't help but look down. When she could see the toes of the embroidered shoes, the sense of frustration became stronger... Obviously, she also tried hard.

Just when Xu Lan was in a very complicated mood, when she looked up at Liu Su again, she suddenly felt that the sister in front of her seemed familiar?

It seemed that she had seen her somewhere before?

But she couldn't remember where she had seen her for a while...

Xu Lan stared at Liu Su in a daze, with a puzzled look. And Xiaolu beside her also felt that the weak and cold woman next to the prince looked familiar.

Xu Lan and Xiaolu, the master and servant, looked at each other and saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes.

"You..."

After a while, Xu Lan looked at Liu Su and asked tentatively: "Have we met?"

Liu Su glanced at Lin Jiangnian and saw that Lin Jiangnian shrugged, indicating that he had not mentioned her identity to Xu Lan.

Liu Su retracted her gaze and looked at Xu Lan in front of her, with a meaningful smile on her face: "Miss Xu, don't you recognize me?"

The voice sounded very familiar!

Xu Lan was sure that she must have seen this sister somewhere.

But why can't she remember?

Xu Lan was stunned and was trying to recall and think. Xiaolu next to her looked at Liu Su intently. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and her eyes widened. Then, she hurriedly leaned over to Xu Lan's ear and said something.

Xu Lan was also stunned after hearing it, and looked at Liu Su again. This time, it seemed that she finally realized it, and her eyes became more amazing.

"You, you are... Liu Ye?!"

Xu Lan spoke in disbelief, and finally remembered where she had seen her.

She, isn't she the maid named Liu Ye beside Lin Jiangnian when he was in Lin Wangfu a year ago?

No wonder she looks familiar!

The more I look at her, the more similar she is. The more I look at her, the more I am sure... She is Liu Ye!

A year ago, Liu Su appeared in Lin Wangfu under the pseudonym Liu Ye and became a maid beside Lin Jiangnian. At that time, Xu Lan often came to Lin Wangfu to find Lin Jiangnian, so naturally he had seen Liu Su many times.

However, as a maid, Liu Su had disguised her appearance, and after not seeing her for a year, her appearance and temperament had changed, so Xu Lan naturally did not recognize her for a while.

Now that Xiao Lu reminded him, he finally remembered... Wasn't she Liu Ye?

A year ago, Xu Lan was still wondering where the maid named Liu Ye had gone. Unexpectedly, a year later, they could meet again here?

And she actually became his... sister? !

Xu Lan was in a daze when she realized this. When she figured it out, she looked at Lin Jiangnian with an even more resentful look... This guy really didn't let any of the maids around him go!

Worse than a beast!

"It seems that Miss Xu almost doesn't remember me anymore!"

Liu Su smiled, her voice was soft, and she looked at Miss Xu in front of her with interest.

"You, you have changed too much..."

Xu Lan couldn't help but look her up and down, and said in surprise: "I really didn't recognize you for a while."

"By the way, where have you been this year? Are you not in Prince Lin's Mansion anymore? And more..."

Speaking of this, Xu Lan paused and glanced at Lin Jiangnian. She felt a little weird and asked curiously: "When did you... get along?!"

Liu Su glanced at Lin Jiangnian and half-smiled: "Didn't he tell you?"

"No."

Xu Lan glared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "He refused to tell me."

Liu Su looked at Lin Jiangnian with a playful look in her eyes: "Indeed, it's not a glorious thing after all, right?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

This woman ordered him?

"Disgraceful?"

When Xu Lan heard this, he was stunned and looked at Xiao Lu next to him. The master and servant seemed to realize something strange in an instant.

"Did this guy force you to do it?!"

Xu Lan opened her eyes in surprise: "Did he use force on you?"

"I didn't expect him to do such a nasty thing... As expected, I knew he was not a good person!"

Xu Lan's tone was indignant.

Liu Su: "..."

She originally just wanted to take the opportunity to tease Lin Jiangnian, but Xu Lan scolded her instead.

Seeing Lin Jiangnian's playful look, Liu Su said expressionlessly: "He is indeed not a good person!"

Xu Lan thought so.

Perhaps the two have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship. Therefore, when they met again, the two of them were not as tense as they imagined.

In addition, Xu Lan's personality is carefree and informal, and in some aspects she is very similar to Liu Su.

If someone else had something to do with Lin Jiangnian, Xu Lan might have to call him a vixen twice, but Xu Lan wasn't that hard to accept the Liu Su in front of him.

After all, in Xu Lan's view, Liu Su was originally Lin Jiangnian's maid. As a maid, it is only a matter of time before she is coaxed into bed by Lin Jiangnian, the beastly prince...

Before Liu Su entered Prince Lin's Mansion, he had already made a thorough investigation of Miss Xu in front of him. This Miss Xu has a bold personality and a bit of chivalry. At the same time, she is informal and has an extremely simple personality...

Of course, at best it sounds innocent, but at worst it sounds a bit silly!

As a young lady who was protected and grew up in a greenhouse, it seems perfectly normal to be silly and naive.

Such a simple little girl is indeed a good friend.

With such a relationship, there is no hostility or estrangement between the two women that should exist between love rivals.

After a while, the two girls started chatting freely!

Like sisters I haven't seen for a long time, enthusiastic and joyful.

At the same time, upstairs in the inn.

Jinxiu and An'an stood quietly in the corridor, watching the scene in the inn lobby.

"Is it a little unexpected?"

Jinxiu glanced at Xu Lan, who was chatting happily with Liu Su in the inn, and then looked back at An Ning beside her.

An Ning quietly held the sword, looking into the lobby with cold eyes, motionless.

The fair and delicate little face was tight and expressionless.

Jinxiu seemed to be talking to An Ning, or to herself, quietly watching the scene in the lobby.

"I originally thought they would quarrel, but I didn't expect... that they would get along so harmoniously."

"This way, we will appear to be outsiders."

An Ning still didn't speak, but looked into the lobby with cold eyes. As if unconsciously, the hand holding the sword in his arms tightened.

Hold on tighter!
