Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

"What do you mean?!"

The smile on Xu Lan's face gradually disappeared, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian with a vague... ferocious light in her eyes?

What did he mean by what he just said?

Not good at this one?

Which bite is better?

Xu Lan was not stupid. When she noticed Lin Jiangnian's eyes glancing over her body inadvertently, she instantly understood what he meant.

Is this all she needs?

Wait a minute...she is a woman, what's so good about her?

Damn Lin Jiangnian, was he clearly mocking her on purpose? !

"nothing."

Seeing that she was about to break through, Lin Jiangnian immediately looked away.

Small breasts but a big temper!

Apart from that face, there probably isn't much good about him.

"Huh, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Xu Lan's face turned red, she glared at him angrily, and subconsciously covered her chest, but then she quickly realized pessimistically...there really wasn't.

Immediately, my teeth started to itch with anger.

"You really have an unchangeable nature...sooner or later you will die of a woman!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were indifferent and he didn't care at all: "As the saying goes, if a girl lives a romantic life under her skirt, why not die?"

"Bah, who said this? It's shameless!"

"me!"

Xu Lan: "..."

"Humph, you haven't learned a lesson yet, right?"

Xu Lan sneered: "This time it wasn't you who was obsessed with Chen Yingying's beauty. How could you have suffered such a misfortune?"

"How did you know it was Chen Yingying?"

Xu Lan crossed her arms and sneered: "It has been spread all over the world... Your prince, Prince Lin, fell in love with Chen Yingying, the courtesan of Qingfeng Tower, and he almost lost his life outside the city because of his lust..."

"Just yesterday, the entire Qingfeng Tower was confiscated by your palace... There was a commotion in the city, and the people were criticizing you verbally and deeply, and they were extremely resentful..."

Lin Jiang frowned and asked doubtfully: "Do you hate me so much?"

When Prince Lin's son was attacked, the people in the city rejoiced in the misfortune and were happy to hear it, but what about the verbal and written criticism and resentment?

"What do you think?"

There was a hint of complexity in Xu Lan's eyes, and she sighed quietly: "What did you do to Qingfeng Tower in Linwangfu?"

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

He remembered what happened yesterday.

"Because...Chen Yingying?"

"It's not just Chen Yingying!"

Xu Lan sneered: "Everyone in Qingfeng Tower has entered your Prince Lin's Mansion, and no one has been spared!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed.

No one is spared?

What's the meaning?

He suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly: "All dead?"

"if not?"

Xu Lan glanced at him with complicated eyes, but the sneer on her face deepened: "How can the people who entered your Prince Lin's Mansion still survive? Then Chen Yingying almost killed you, there is no way to survive!"

"As for those people in Qingfeng Tower...who knows how many of Chen Yingying's accomplices are among them? Isn't it always your style of doing things in Prince Lin's Palace that you would rather kill them by mistake than let them go?"

Xu Lan was understated, but his eyes were a little more complicated, and even his tone was a lot heavier!

After all, that is dozens of lives!

Even...far more than that!

Ever since the assassination of Prince Lin Wang, it was destined to usher in the angry liquidation of Prince Lin. In recent days, there has been a bloody storm in Linjiang City. I don’t know how many forces hidden in the dark have been uncovered, and I don’t know how many innocent people have been harmed. implicated.

Countless people have become dead souls under the knife!

…

Lin Jiangnian's back felt a little cold.

Kill them all?

Who killed him?

In his mind, Zhiyuan's expressionless and cold expression appeared.

is her!

She looks cold and calm, but she has such a hard heart? !

Is human life so worthless in her eyes?

Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath and concealed his emotions: "So, their deaths are blamed on this prince?!"

"That's right!"

Xu Lan nodded and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a bit of gloating in his eyes.

"Chen Yingying is quite famous in Linjiang City, and there are many talented people who admire her. She died in your Prince Lin's Mansion this time, and I don't know how many people hate you..."

"Those talented men have been calling you a son of a bitch in public these days in the city, writing poems and articles angrily accusing you of being unconscionable. They even threatened to unite and report to the court, accusing you of killing innocent people indiscriminately, and asking your Majesty to punish you..."

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment: "Will it have any impact on my son?"

Xu Lan looked Lin Jiangnian up and down, and sighed with a little regret: "Other than making your reputation worse, it probably won't have any impact..."

This is Linjiang City, Linzhou! The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. In Linzhou, the imperial edict of the emperor is not as effective as a word from the king of Linzhou.

This is the title of the only king with a different surname in the past hundred years since the founding of the Daning Dynasty!

These talented people in Linjiang City were scolding and angry, but in the end they were just a bunch of incompetent and incompetent literati.

Are you saying that you want to submit a petition to the imperial court?

If this is the case, whether they can leave Linjiang City alive is a question.

Linwang Mansion has been operating Linzhou for more than ten years, and there are countless informants of Linwang Mansion throughout Linzhou. Any disturbance will be reported to Prince Lin's Mansion immediately.

Besides, Prince Lin has long lost his reputation in Linzhou. In his early years, he bullied men and dominated women, preying on the common people. He has long since become a playboy who is hated by countless people!

Although so many people were involved in the death this time, Prince Lin's son was assassinated first after all, so the revenge of Prince Lin's palace is naturally logical. Those people can't make any big waves. In the end, it was just Lin Jiangnian who was blamed for the death of Chen Yingying, Qingfenglou and others.

At a private gathering after dinner, he was filled with righteous indignation and cursed a few words about the son of a bitch!

Other than that, it doesn’t have much impact!

As if thinking of something, Xu Lan's eyes became a little narrower: "What? Do you want to hear how people outside scold you?"

"not interested."

Lin Jiangnian's face was expressionless.

…

In Linjiang City.

A certain teahouse!

"Miss Yingying was not only slept with by that prince, but she was also smeared as a murderer and brutally killed. How could the prince be so cruel?!"

"Poor girl Yingying is so kind and beautiful, how could she be the murderer of that bitch prince? Slander, it must be slander..."

"The son of a bitch must be avenging his personal revenge. Miss Yingying is unwilling to commit herself to him, so the son of a bitch is jealous..."

"Miss Yingying... oh my girl Yingying, you died so miserably..."

"I can't swallow this breath. Everyone, that son of a bitch has bullied men and women over the years, oppressed and humiliated the people wantonly, and now he is even more rampant, killing innocent people indiscriminately. Today's Yingying, tomorrow's gentlemen... Why don't we write a bloody letter , how about jointly submitting a petition to the capital?"

"..."

Then a young scholar in Confucian robes stood up angrily and spoke angrily.

The surroundings suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone in the teahouse looked at this young man with strange eyes, who was ignorant of the heights and heights of the world and was talking nonsense... The brothers who were scolding him quietly moved to the side and put some distance between him and him.

In vain, the young man saw that the surroundings were quiet, and he was still a little confused... Why didn't everyone talk?

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps going up the stairs was heard. Two officers and soldiers appeared and took the young man away without any explanation.

"What are you doing?! Why are you arresting me? Let go... Is there still king's law? Is there still heavenly justice?!"

"I want to report to the official, I want to report..."

After the people were taken away, the teahouse soon became lively again. Everyone continued to talk, and those gentlemen started scolding the prince again.

He was scolded, but from the beginning to the end, no one mentioned the ‘imperial complaint’ again!

…

There is a window seat in the corner of the teahouse.

Xu Lan supported the table with one hand and his chin with the other, listening to the noisy discussions outside, and looked at Lin Jiangnian opposite him playfully: "See? Are everyone scolding you?!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "They are just unruly people!"

But I was sighing in my heart... The scolding was so cruel!

Although he was scolding Prince Lin Wang, Lin Jiangnian had to bear the blame.

"Who told you not to do anything these years? Just those bad things you did?"

Xu Lan narrowed her eyes and sneered: "I want to stab you twice!"

Lin Jiangnian ignored her and looked out the window.

Looking from the teahouse window, you can see the scenery of half of Linjiang City. This was the first time Lin Jiangnian saw the bustling scenery of ancient times.

There is a lot of traffic, antique houses are located in the city, people are coming and going on the streets, traders and pedestrians are crowded together, it is extremely prosperous!

Is this Linjiang City?

Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian across from him quietly and stared at his face for a while. When he looked away, he suddenly remembered something.

"Eh!"

Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Xu Lan looking at him with some curiosity. He checked left and right and lowered his voice slightly.

"That Chen Yingying...are you really asleep?"

"..."
