son, don't mess around

early morning.

A ray of sunlight shone into the room. Fine dust particles were floating in the air, and a somewhat melancholy atmosphere permeated the air.

On the bed not far away, the gauze curtains slid down, covering the spring scene on the bed curtains.

Lin Jiangnian lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes and looked down into his arms.

At this moment, in his arms, there was a face without makeup, sleeping sweetly with eyes closed. The messy black hair covered half of the face, and the breathing was smooth, extremely comfortable.

The beauty in his arms clung to him tightly, her whole body wrapped around Lin Jiangnian's arms. Lin Jiangnian looked down and could catch a glimpse of the delicate collarbone under her white neck, and her extremely white and crystal clear skin, which was very delicate.

It can be seen that this Miss Zhao is not only naturally beautiful, but also takes good care of herself on a daily basis. She rarely goes out, and even her skin is delicate and smooth.

Lin Jiangnian personally verified this last night.

Even now, with one hand passing through her neck and resting on her little head, Lin Jiangnian's outstretched arm was finding its own way.

Not only that, while Lin Jiangnian was admiring the smoothness of Zhao Xi's skin, his hands moved immediately.

This time, the movement was a little bigger.

Zhao Xi, who was originally sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

When he just opened his eyes, there was a flash of drowsiness and confusion, as if he hadn't realized what was going on.

Just then, he met Lin Jiangnian's gaze.

The two of them looked at each other briefly, and Zhao Xi, who had just woken up, gradually realized what was going on. On her fair face, a blush gradually appeared.

She instinctively wanted to look away.

"You, what are you looking at me for?!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, just smiled.

This made Zhao Xi's heart tense even more, and he immediately recalled what happened last night.

I felt embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.

Then, he realized something. He lowered his eyes and said angrily, "Let go of your dog's paw!"

Lin Jiangnian not only did not let go, but seeing her struggle, he hugged her and lowered his head to get closer: "Why, are you still shy?"

"you……"

After struggling for a while, it was fruitless.

Zhao Xi reached out and pinched Lin Jiangnian's waist twice in shame and anger to vent her anger.

Then, she gave up and let him touch her.

"You are such a pervert!"

"abnormal!"

Zhao Xi said unhappily.

"Don't be angry, it's so early in the morning."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile.

"You also knew it was so early in the morning?!"

As if he had noticed something, Zhao Xi's face turned even redder, and he angrily asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll break it..."

"calm!"

Seeing Zhao Xi's fierce tone, Lin Jiangnian was startled and quickly comforted her: "Didn't you not agree last night..."

"I didn't agree last night?!"

Zhao Xi heard this and immediately opened his eyes wide, blushing and accusing: "What did you do last night? Don't you know what happened?!"

"Well, that doesn't count!"

Lin Jiangnian coaxed her gently while whispering something into Zhao Xi's ear.

Zhao Xi's delicate body tensed up and she pinched him hard twice.

"Don't even think about it. Dream on!"

"Get out of here, I need to get up!"

Zhao Xi gritted his teeth.

I was fooled by this unfaithful man last night, and I helped him without knowing why...

He actually wants to go even further?
Zhao Xi calmed down and didn't listen to his nonsense. After glaring at him fiercely, he immediately struggled to sit up.

But just as he sat up, the blanket slipped off his body, and he felt a chill on his chest. Only then did he realize that his clothes had disappeared when that bastard pulled them last night.

Turning back, he saw Lin Jiangnian lying on the bed, admiring with astonishment the beautiful back with long black hair falling down, white and smooth like jade. The shoulders were well-cut, and the round curves went down to the waist that could be held in one hand, dazzlingly white.

After admiring her for a few seconds, Zhao Xi grabbed the quilt and wrapped her up.

"Still watching?!"

Zhao Xi couldn't help but want to kick him again, but he held back.

I'm afraid this bastard will do something stupid again.

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian sat up slowly and put on his clothes. After he was dressed, he turned around and stood by the bed, and saw Zhao Xi still sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, motionless.

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Do you need help?"

"No need."

Zhao Xi said angrily: "Get out!"

"You've already seen it, why are you still so shy?"

"you!"

Zhao Xi gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't get out, I'll scream molest!"

Her face was filled with anger.

It’s not that I’m really that shy, I just don’t want to let this bastard succeed so easily.

Want to see?

I won’t give it!
"Okay, I'll go out first and wait for you outside."

Having said that, Lin Jiangnian turned around, walked to the door, pushed it open and walked out.

……

Outside.

"Miss……"

Xiaoyue stood under the eaves and saw the young lady's door open. She was about to speak subconsciously, but when her eyes fell on the person who appeared at the door and walked out, the young lady who had just called out stopped abruptly.

Xiaoyue was confused!

She felt dizzy when she saw Lin Jiangnian suddenly walking out of her young lady's room early in the morning.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?!"

Xiaoyue's expression froze. She looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of her, then looked at the room behind her, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes... That's right, this is the young lady's room?
But where did His Highness come from? !

Xiaoyue's eyes widened, and she forgot how to react for a moment. Until Lin Jiangnian greeted her with a warm smile: "Xiaoyue, long time no see?"

Lin Jiangnian was naturally impressed by the little maid in front of him who had a look of astonishment on her face.

He had seen this maid named Xiaoyue many times when he came to the Zhao Mansion. She was Zhao Xi's personal maid.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

After being shocked for a while, Xiaoyue finally came back to her senses and stammered: "Your Highness, is it really you?!"

Lin Jiangnian said happily: "Who else could it be if not me?"

"Your Highness, you, you are not..."

Xiaoyue swallowed and said, "Your Highness, when did you come back?"

"just came back."

"then you……"

Xiaoyue glanced at the young lady's room again and asked cautiously, "When did you come here?"

"last night."

last night?!
Hearing this, Xiaoyue's eyes widened again.

Your Highness came last night?
How come she didn't know? Why didn't anyone in the Zhao residence inform her?

Could it be that His Highness came here quietly?
No, that's not the point! Xiaoyue quickly realized something. Doesn't this mean... His Highness slept in the lady's room last night?
In an instant, Xiaoyue's mind was filled with countless images. All of them were red-faced and unbearable to watch...

For a moment, Xiaoyue felt her face getting hot, and her expression was a little unnatural: "Then, Your Highness, where is my lady..."

“Here too.”

Lin Jiangnian's answer was very frank.

But Xiaoyue understood another meaning... As expected, His Highness slept with the Young Lady last night.

I’m afraid there was something fishy going on last night?
When I think of the days when His Highness was away, and the infatuated and resentful look of my young lady, I am afraid she must have accumulated a lot of emotions.

Didn't I have to vent all my anger on His Highness last night?

No, why didn’t I hear any noise last night?
Looking at His Highness's face again, he looked normal, not as pale and weak as I had imagined... This shouldn't be the case?
Your Highness has a great body!

Xiaoyue was lost in thought and her face became redder and redder.

After a while, she came back to her senses and saw His Highness looking at her. She was a little flustered and lowered her head quickly, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, shall I help you wash up?"

"Your Highness, what would you like to eat in the morning? Can I ask the kitchen to prepare it?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Don't bother too much, just prepare something casually."

"Ok."

Xiaoyue turned around quickly and just took two steps when Lin Jiangnian called her back, "It's lost. Don't spread the news that I'm back yet."

Xiaoyue naturally knew this: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Xiaoyue won't say anything nonsense."

Xiaoyue, as the lady's personal maid, would naturally not spread rumors. His Highness was nominally the eldest princess's fiancé, and if he broke into the lady's room at night, it would definitely be bad for the lady's reputation if it got out.

What Lin Jiangnian was considering was not only the bad reputation it would bring to Zhao Xi. He had just returned to the capital and had not yet visited Prime Minister Zhao, but he sneaked over in the middle of the night and attacked his precious daughter. If Prime Minister Zhao knew about this, he would never let him off!
However, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.

During this period, Prime Minister Zhao probably doesn't have the time to spare.

The rebellion in Prince Xu's mansion in the north had already made Prime Minister Zhao very busy. When he entered the capital this time, he could clearly feel that the civil unrest in the north was much more serious than that in the south.

The battle situation in Xuzhou was more severe than expected. It was hard to say how long the imperial court could hold out.

……

After washing up, Xiaoyue quickly brought breakfast over.

In the room, Lin Jiangnian was having a meal. Zhao Xi came late after washing up, walked into the room and sat down at the table.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and met a pair of dark eyes.

Although he looked resentful, there was a hint of joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

She has delicate facial features, snow-white skin, and slightly tied up black hair. She is capable and beautiful, and is staring at Lin Jiangnian quietly.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Can't you see it?"

Zhao Xi asked back.

"Yes, you can take a look."

Lin Jiangnian said casually: "Do you want me to take off my clothes so you can take a closer look?"

"Bah, I don't want it!"

Zhao Xi spat in annoyance: "Can you please have some shame?"

"no way."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Who told you not to give it to me?"

"Humph."

Zhao Xi snorted softly, slightly shifting her unnatural gaze, with a blush on her face.

She didn't let Lin Jiangnian succeed last night, and the promise she made at the beginning of the year had not been fulfilled. However, although she didn't let him fall asleep, this bastard played with her a lot last night...

Zhao Xi even felt that compared to sleeping with her, this bastard seemed to be more interested in her legs.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi's body tensed up a little, and her legs under her skirt curled up as if stimulated by something.

Then, she glared at him unhappily.

But then, he couldn't help yawning, and a little tiredness appeared on his face.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

"What do you say?"

Zhao Xi rolled his eyes beautifully.

Although she didn't toss and turn all night last night, she almost didn't sleep the whole night.

After the joy of reuniting after a long separation satisfied the perverted hobby of this bastard, the rest of the night was basically a warm exchange between the two.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, the two seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

Zhao Xi asked Lin Jiangnian about what had happened in the past six months. Lin Jiangnian started talking from the beginning of the year when he was on his way back to Linjiang City, then to Chujiang City in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally back to the capital.

Zhao Xi listened with great interest and seriously.

Although she had known Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts for more than half a year, they were far apart and many details were not completely clear to her.

Especially...what happened between this bastard and those women.

And I heard that he was assassinated in Jiangnan some time ago and had a narrow escape.

Zhao Xi was originally quite worried, but after seeing Lin Jiangnian, she suddenly lost all her worries... This bastard man is as strong as an ox, full of energy, and has the time to torment her. How can he look like he has a problem? !

In short, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I almost spent the whole time listening to Lin Jiangnian talking about what had happened in the past six months.

Of course, Zhao Xi also mentioned the interesting things that happened in the capital during Lin Jiangnian's absence. But in comparison, there was no change in the capital.

After a round of reshuffle at the beginning of the year, many new faces emerged and many family officials were brought down.

Zhao Xi was not very interested in these.

"I have to go out and do something later."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke.

Zhao Xi, who was eating with his head down, paused when he heard this, raised his eyes and looked at him with a nervous expression: "Where are you going?"

Lin Jiang smiled young: "Don't worry, I won't leave for the time being. I will come back after I finish my work."

"Would you rather leave?"

Zhao Xi turned away awkwardly, "Where are you going?"

"Go check some things."

"whats the matter?"

Seeing Zhao Xi's questioning, Lin Jiangnian finally explained, "I returned to the capital ahead of schedule this time because I wanted to find out who was behind the assassins who tried to kill me some time ago. I suspect it has something to do with some forces in the capital."

Hearing this, Zhao Xi frowned and his expression became serious: "Who did you find out?"

Although the guy in front of him looked lively, Zhao Xi naturally didn't think that the assassination not long ago was a joke. As the children of the rich and powerful like them, assassinations were not uncommon.

What’s more, he is the Prince of Lin?

As the situation involved the danger of assassination, Zhao Xi's expression became more serious.

"Not yet."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed: "The person behind this is hiding very deeply."

Then, Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked, "Do you still remember the Lu family?"

"The Lu family?"

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, then gradually remembered something and nodded.

"Is it related to the Lu family?!"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "Lü Fusheng was very close to the Third Prince at the beginning, and the Lu family was the party that openly supported the Third Prince. But after the Third Prince's rebellion failed, the Lu family was not liquidated..."

"Don't you think this is strange?"

Zhao Xi seemed to be thinking about something, and she spoke softly.

"I have heard a little about this matter."

"Ok?"

Zhao Xi said softly: "The Lu family is somewhat related to the Xie family."

"The Xie family is the current Empress Dowager's family..."
