After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 481 Strange and Unusual

Although the twelfth prince looked displeased, he knew that Lin Yi was telling the truth.

"Then instruct your men to investigate secretly, slowly, until they find out the truth."

It took a long time, and there was nothing we could do about it.

Hearing this request, Lin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as the twelfth prince isn't in such a hurry and is willing to spend more time, Lin Yi believes he should be able to gradually uncover something.

After a while, the twelfth prince added, "Also, before this matter is thoroughly investigated, not a single word is to be leaked. Do you understand?"

Lin Yi nodded knowingly and immediately agreed.

He understood the Twelfth Prince's meaning: before the matter was thoroughly investigated, not a single word should be revealed, and even more importantly, Miss Jinse should not be allowed to notice anything.

And this last point is the most important.

The twelfth prince was satisfied and waved for Lin Yi to go and get busy.

Lin Shun was left standing to one side, hesitant to speak, wanting to express his opinion but hesitant because of the twelfth prince's serious expression...

It's so confusing.

In the end, the twelfth prince couldn't stand it anymore and casually found him a job to send him away.

In the Twelfth Prince's residence, the following days were mostly normal, except for Lin Yi suddenly becoming very busy...

Oh, but for Jinse, it's a little different.

During the few days that Lin Yi was busy, Lin Shun seemed to suddenly dislike her, and would always look at her strangely whenever they met.

I don't know why.

One time, Jinse couldn't resist asking Lin Shun when they met again. Lin Shun stared at her with a troubled expression for a while, then... ran away.

Jinse was completely baffled.

Perhaps because people have become more relaxed after leaving the palace, Jinse now shows her emotions quite clearly on her face whenever she has any.

Sure enough, after seeing Lin Shun, the Twelfth Prince immediately noticed that Jinse's expression was off.

The twelfth prince was somewhat conflicted by her thoughtful yet perplexed expression.

He then asked, "Sister Jinse, what's wrong? Why do you look like that? Did something happen?"

Jinse first served tea and snacks to the Twelfth Prince, then asked hesitantly, "It's nothing, it's just... has Eunuch Shun encountered any difficulties these past few days?"

The twelfth prince asked, "Lin Shun?"

Jinse nodded: "Yes, I feel that Eunuch Shun's expression towards me has been a bit off these past few days. I was about to ask him about it when I ran into him, but he turned around and ran away. I don't know why!"

After a moment's thought, the twelfth prince roughly understood why Lin Shun was acting this way.

But the reason cannot be told to Jinse.

So, after thinking for a moment, the twelfth prince casually said, "He's always had a strange temper. Sister Jinse, haven't you seen him often before? He's probably just thinking about something on his own again this time. Sister Jinse, don't worry about him. I reckon he'll be fine again in a couple of days!"

This explains...

That does make some sense.

From the moment she became acquainted with the Twelfth Prince, Jinse always felt that Lin Yi was easier to get along with than Lin Shun.

Although she knew that Lin Yi was more cunning than Lin Shun, and Lin Shun was more straightforward than Lin Yi.

But Jinse sometimes couldn't empathize with Lin Shun's straightforward and eccentric temperament.
