Chapter 261: The Wrong Person

Lin Jiangnian's smile froze, and he subconsciously sniffed his clothes.

He was not sensitive to fragrance, but when he smelled it carefully, he could indeed smell a faint fragrance from his body.

It was probably from the boudoir of the young lady of the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that Zhiyuan would be able to smell it.

Is his nose so sharp?

Lin Jiangnian sniffed his clothes again. If he was not careful, it would be difficult to notice this.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian sighed secretly.

Lesson learned, I must be more careful next time!

Turning around, just as he was about to take a shower and change clothes to find Zhiyuan, another figure happened to walk into the yard at this time.

"What's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw his aunt Jiang Yuxiang stepping into the yard.

She was wearing a plain long skirt, with a graceful figure, and a thin waist that could be held by one hand, which made her chest and hips look even more bulging and majestic, and her temperament was mature. Her long black hair was tied behind her head with a jade hairpin. Her fair and rosy face was filled with gentle eyes, her cherry lips were red, and her dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

She approached Lin Jiangnian, looked up at him twice, then looked behind her, and said suspiciously: "Why do I see that Zhiyuan's face is not very good? Are you bullying her again?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand innocently: "How dare I?"

"Heh!"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't believe it. She looked at Lin Jiangnian twice. When she was about to say something, she noticed something and moved closer to Lin Jiangnian's clothes. Her crystal clear nose moved, and then she looked up, staring at him suspiciously, with a bit of questioning: "Did you go to see that Miss Zhao again?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

"Aunt, you can smell this too?"

Lin Jiangnian was incredible.

Zhiyuan was a martial arts master, and his facial features were much more sensitive than ordinary people. It was normal for him to smell unusual smells. But Jiang Yuxiang in front of her didn't know any martial arts at all, how could she smell it?

"Of course not!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "No matter what bad things you do, you can't escape my aunt's eyes..."

Speaking of this, she quickly reacted and stared at him: "You went to see the young lady of the Zhao family again today?"

Lin Jiangnian did not deny it and nodded.

"Didn't you say you are not interested in her?"

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were slightly interrogative.

Lin Jiangnian sighed and simply told his aunt about going to the Zhao family to see Zhao Xi today.

"Zhiyuan asked you to go?"

Jiang Yuxiang was a little unbelievable and said in surprise: "Why would she ask you to go to the young lady of the Zhao family?"

"This is a long story..."

Lin Jiangnian briefly revealed some information to his aunt, but he didn't mention it because it was a secret between him and the Zhao family.

After listening, Jiang Yuxiang believed that Lin Jiangnian had a serious business to go to the Zhao Mansion today. However, there was still some suspicion in her beautiful eyes: "Are you really not going for the beauty of the young lady from the Zhao family?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then how did you get the rouge scent on your body?"

"Same as last time."

The last time she met Zhao Xi, Jiang Yuxiang was waiting for him outside the Zhao Mansion, and she also noticed the rouge on his body. After asking, she learned the whole story.

Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian, her eyes becoming more suspicious: "Could it be that the young lady from the Zhao family has taken a fancy to you?"

When they first met, she invited Lin Jiangnian into her boudoir. This time, she met the same way. If this gets out, will the reputation of the young lady from the Zhao family be ruined?

Could it be...

Faced with his aunt's suspicion, Lin Jiangnian remained silent.

Not to mention, his aunt did guess a little.

The young lady from the Zhao family did look at Lin Jiangnian and seduced him every time they met.

Lin Jiangnian's mind subconsciously recalled the cold and elegant temperament of the young lady of the Zhao family, her beautiful face with a charming smile, and her pair of snow-white and jade-like legs under the long satin skirt...

Tsk tsk, what a contrast!

"So, what's the matter with the kite?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at him suspiciously: "Misunderstood?"

"That's right." Lin Jiangnian sighed.

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him angrily: "I told you to be careful, but you insisted on messing around!"

Lin Jiangnian was speechless. This time it really had nothing to do with him.

"I'll go explain to Zhiyuan."

Lin Jiangnian was going to find Zhiyuan, but was stopped by Jiang Yuxiang: "Don't go yet."

"Zhiyuan is angry, change your clothes first and wash off the smell of other women on you."

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him lightly: "I'll go talk to Zhiyuan first."

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to my aunt!"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered and said unhappily: "If you dare to let Zhiyuan down, see how I'll deal with you."

"Absolutely not."

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted lightly before turning around and leaving.

Lin Jiangnian stood there for a while, then went to Xiaozhu to arrange for hot water to be prepared for a bath and change clothes!

He changed into a clean satin robe, stood in the mirror, and stared at the figure of the young talent in the mirror. Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such a handsome man in the world?

Walking out of the room, the maid outside the door looked at her own prince quietly. Lin Jiangnian was about to go to the next door to find Zhiyuan, and Xiaozhu ran into the yard again.

"Your Highness, the man outside is here again!"

"Who?"

"The man who came to see you today..." Xiaozhu explained breathlessly.

"Again?"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned. He had thought of looking for him tomorrow, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

…

Outside Jiang Mansion.

Night falls.

The cold wind blew and howled, and outside the high wall, a black shadow stood at the corner.

Darkness enveloped his figure, as if he had merged with the entire night sky. He stood there quietly, his face seemed a little shaken, he raised his eyes and looked at the door not far away without saying a word.

It wasn't until a long time later that the door slowly opened, and a young man appeared at the door and walked towards him. The black shadow stared quietly until the young man walked slowly not far in front of him and stopped.

Then, I heard the young man's slightly relaxed voice: "Chen Kuaishou, why do you have time to come to see me today?"

Chen Changqing raised his head and stared at the handsome and high-spirited young man in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, looked away, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk?"

"Okay, let's talk then!"

The young man’s voice is very refreshing!

The cold wind howled, seeming to envelop and engulf the whole world.

In a teahouse two streets away from Jiang Mansion, there is a private room on the third floor.

Lin Jiangnian was sitting on the floor, tea was steaming in front of the table, and the cold wind outside the window was beating on the doors and windows. He looked at the man sitting opposite him, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, and this leader Chen seemed to be more haggard.

"Chief Chen, are you planning to change your mind?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't waste any time and asked first.

Chen Changqing was silent, looking at Lin Jiangnian. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Can I ask His Highness a question?"

Lin Jiang young smiled: "Just ask."

Chen Changqing first lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, asking word by word: "Your Highness, what can be changed?"

Lin Jiangnian asked: "What does Chief Chen want this prince to change?"

Chen Changqing lowered his eyes, a trace of hesitant pain flashed in his eyes. After a while, his voice was hoarse: "Change the dark officialdom in the court, change the world where people are bullied, and restore a bright world..."

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a long time until Chen Changqing finished speaking.

"Chen Kuaishou, do you have any misunderstanding about this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply: "Do you think it's possible?"

Chen Changqing said nothing.

"My prince is just the son of a vassal. It would be too much for you to ask me to change the world."

Chen Changqing remained silent. Of course he knew that it was difficult to force someone to do something.

It's simply impossible.

The forces in the Daning Dynasty were complicated and darker than he imagined. If you want to change all this, there is only one way... to overthrow it all!

To overthrow all this means to create...

"My prince has no interest in rebellion."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly. This leader Chen was also an idealist.

However, you will eventually be beaten by reality.

"This prince has no interest in changing the world, but..."

Lin Jiangnian paused and glanced at him: "I am interested in Chen Kuishou."

Chen Changqing stared at him: "How can your Highness prove it?"

"Chen Kuaishou came to see my prince today. Hasn't it been proven?"

Chen Changqing was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

yes!

From the time he came to see Prince Lin, it meant that he had already made a decision in his heart!

"This prince can definitely give Chen Kuishou much more than Mi Tiansi..."

Lin Jiangnian paused for a moment, glanced up at Chen Changqing, and said softly, "I can't change the world, but I can give Chen Kuiyi a chance to overthrow and change Mi Tiansi!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Kuishou's heart beat suddenly. He raised his head and stared at Lin Jiangnian.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?!"

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiang young laughed, his eyes indifferent.

Ever since he fell in love with Chen Changqing, Lin Jiangnian had a gradually improving plan in mind.

Nowadays, there is a lack of people around him, a very lack of talents.

Especially after the assassination outside the city, the prince's army suffered heavy losses. Lin Jiangnian needed to train his own trusted personnel again. He planned to secretly train a group of masters.

The Chen Changqing in front of him was one of his favorite candidates.

Coupled with the connection with the Zhao family, he will run into Chen Zhao sooner or later, and the intersection with Mi Tiansi is inevitable...

Chen Changqing was silent, his heart already turned upside down.

Coming to see Prince Lin was his last resort when he had no other choice.

He no longer wanted to work with those inhuman beasts like Mi Tiansi, and he no longer wanted to help them. I came to see Prince Lin with the last hope. At the moment, Lin Jiangnian's words aroused the pent-up resentment in his heart.

His voice was low: "Your Highness wants to deal with Mi Tiansi?!"

Lin Jiangnian did not answer his question, but asked instead: "It would be better for Chen Kui to tell me first, what happened? Did Chen Kui make up his mind?"

Chen Changqing was silent for a long time before finally speaking in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, do you know Xu Zheng, the Minister of War?"

"..."

After a while.

There was a long silence in the private room.

Lin Jiangnian had a look of astonishment on his face and stared at him: "So, all the orphans of the Xu family died in the hands of Mi Tiansi?!"

Chen Changqing's face clearly showed a bit of pain. He was trembling all over and muttering to himself: "I don't want it, I don't want it either..."

In the past few days, whenever he closed his eyes, he could think of the little girl who died tragically in front of him. She looked innocent but stared at him with deep resentment.

That seemed to be the last straw in his heart. The conscience in his heart caused Chen Changqing to suffer, and his voice was extremely painful and trembling: "They can do this to such a small child... They deserve to die!"

Lin Jiangnian said nothing, remembering that Zhao Xi mentioned to him today that the Xu family's orphan was exterminated. But he didn't expect that it was Chen Changqing who did it.

For a moment, he was in a daze.

It’s hard to describe this feeling!

"I really can't blame you."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Changqing, who had a haggard and painful look on his face, and said softly: "If you didn't kill her, she would have been worse off than dead in the hands of those people. You helped her escape and safeguarded the reputation of the Xu family..."

Chen Changqing looked stunned.

"However, you really can't escape your involvement in this matter!"

Lin Jiangnian's tone suddenly changed again: "You are indeed an accomplice in killing them!"

Chen Changqing looked painful and closed his eyes: "I know."

"So, you want to atone for your sins?"

Chen Changqing said nothing, but nodded heavily.

Lin Jiangnian said: "In that case, I will give you this opportunity... However, before that, you need to do a few things..."

Chen Changqing remained silent and said nothing. He had decided not to collude with Mi Tiansi anymore. The only person he could trust was the Prince Lin in front of him.

He investigated him and realized that Prince Lin was not as bad as the rumors.

Therefore, Chen Changqing decided to take a gamble.

His life is already like this anyway, he has nothing to lose!

Chen Changqing took something out of his arms and placed it in front of Lin Jiangnian.

"This is some information that I secretly found out from the files within the Mitian Division after last time..."

"I found some information about the third prince from the Jingzhao Mansion, and compared it with Mi Tiansi's files, I found some clues..."

Chen Changqing's voice was low, with some indescribable emotions.

"Mitiansi is indeed closely related to the third prince!"

"..."

Late at night.

When Lin Jiangnian returned to Jiang Mansion, most of the people in the house were already asleep, except for a few servants who were on duty at night.

Lin Jiangnian returned to the courtyard and was about to go back to his room when he saw the light in Zhiyuan's room not far from the courtyard next door.

Not sleeping yet?

Lin Jiangnian's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered that he had not yet explained today's misunderstanding to Zhi Yuan, as well as some things that happened when he met Chen Changqing just now, and planned to have a good chat with Zhi Yuan.

So, he quietly walked to the courtyard next door and walked to the door of the room.

The door is slightly opened.

"Um?"

Why didn't you close the door?

Lin Jiangnian was confused, but he still opened the door gently, walked into the room, and closed the door behind his back.

The dark and quiet room was filled with a light fragrance. On the bed not far away behind the screen, a figure was looming, lying on the quilt.

The matter of meeting Miss Zhao today has not been explained yet. I wonder if Zhiyuan is still angry at this moment?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian walked behind the screen with gentle steps without making any sound. Now that he has strong internal energy, he can hide his aura and footsteps, making it difficult to detect even if he doesn't do it deliberately.

Lin Jiangnian slowly approached the bed and saw a figure lying sideways on the bed, his body wrapped in the quilt, only a head of thick black hair exposed.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian no longer hesitated, quickly took off his coat, got into the bed, and wrapped his arms around the delicate body on the bed from behind.

"Zhiyuan, here I come!"

Lin Jiangnian leaned into the girl's ear and breathed softly. The hand holding the delicate body in his arms fell somewhere habitually.

Pinch it!

The next second, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt something was wrong.

The size... seems wrong?

…
