Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Zhiyuan's cold face showed no emotion at all, and she said calmly: "Your Highness is the young master of the palace, so naturally he is the master of the slaves."

Her answer was neither condescending nor arrogant, but when she glanced at Lin Jiangnian's face from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a smile that seemed to have a bad taste.

Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

"Since I am your master..."

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the kite in front of him and said meaningfully, "Then you should be able to obey my prince's orders, right?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"I didn't have any instructions, I just suddenly felt that the title Your Highness sounded too ordinary."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Why don't you just call me master from now on?"

"My lord, I think this title is more pleasant. What do you think?"

Zhiyuan frowned deeper.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Jiangnian smiled half-heartedly: "What? Not willing?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since His Highness has given orders, I should obey them."

"Okay, then why don't you call me now so that I can listen?"

"..."

"host……"

Zhiyuan opened her mouth, but the words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them out.

Under Lin Jiangnian's gaze, she finally said two words with difficulty from her bright red thin lips: "Master..."

For some reason, when she shouted these two words, she felt something strange in her heart, an inexplicable sense of... shame?

"Very good, not bad!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded with satisfaction: "This is how you will call me from now on."

The kite made no sound.

There was a hint of unnaturalness in those cold eyes, but soon they became calm again.

Lin Jiangnian did not continue to embarrass her. Asking her to call her master was a bad taste and a small revenge. Although it can't cause any harm to her, it can disgust her, which can be regarded as the bad smell in the bath room that night.

Feel comfortable!

Lin Jiangnian looked back at the door, thought of something, and suddenly said: "So, does he want to murder my son?"

The conversation between Zhiyuan and Lin Kong just now naturally fell into his ears.

Zhiyuan glanced at Lin Jiangnian and said calmly: "He doesn't dare."

Lin Jiangnian asked back: "How did you know he didn't dare?"

"Since he didn't dare, why didn't he save my prince when he was in danger?"

"Do you know that my prince almost died in the hands of that assassin today?"

Lin Jiangnian pointed at himself. If he hadn't been extra careful today and had been prepared, he might have suffered the consequences.

As his bodyguard, Lin Kong knew the danger but didn't rescue him immediately?

What does he want to do? !

Zhiyuan was silent, and then said after a moment: "Lin Kong is the commander of His Highness's bodyguards. He is loyal to His Highness and would never want to murder His Highness..."

"He neglected his duties today, and I have severely punished him. I will deal with him again when the prince comes back."

"hehe!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Loyal? Are you sure?"

Zhiyuan looked at Lin Jiangnian with eyes that were neither humble nor arrogant. There was no evasion in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Lin Kong has grown up in the palace since he was a child. He has worked for the palace through life and death for many years. He is loyal to the prince and His Highness. "

This is somewhat ironic!

However, Lin Jiangnian didn't care.

He is more concerned about...

Gazing at Zhiyuan's cold face, there was no dodge at all, and she was not afraid of her face at all, especially those bright and beautiful eyes, which seemed to be calm all the time, and seemed to be able to see through Lin Jiangnian's heart.

"Lin Kong is just a guard, so naturally he would not dare to murder my son, but if someone instigates him behind his back, it will be different..."

When Lin Jiangnian spoke, he happened to look into Zhiyuan's eyes.

There seemed to be a trace of excitement in her calm eyes, and her eyes twitched slightly: "Does Your Highness suspect that this slave instigated him to murder His Highness?"

"What do you think?"

"This slave has absolutely no such treacherous and immoral thoughts."

"How do you prove it?"

"..."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Lin Jiangnian stared quietly at the kite in front of him, at her cold eyes, her beautiful face, and... her thoughts that were impossible to see through.

Zhiyuan's eyes also fell on Lin Jiangnian, and they looked at each other, their eyes facing each other.

She was very tall, not much shorter than Lin Jiangnian. She didn't need to raise her head when standing in front of him, her eyes were almost at eye level.

Wearing a purple skirt, her figure was fully exposed, revealing a somewhat snow-white and slender neck, a round waist, and the slender legs that were covered under the skirt.

As a maid in Prince Lin's palace, her clothes are completely different from those of the maids in the palace. If ordinary outsiders saw her, they would definitely not regard her as a maid in the house.

She is more like a young lady from Linwang Palace.

Even more like...a little mistress!

Zhiyuan looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, and she felt a strong and oppressive aura from His Highness. His eyes were full of sharpness and sneer, as if he was questioning her.

This feeling is similar to before, but different.

I always feel...

His Highness seems to be more aggressive!

Zhiyuan was silent.

It wasn't until a moment later that she spoke: "How does Your Highness want this slave to prove it?"

"That's something you have to ask yourself."

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Do you think my prince's suspicion is well-founded?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "Yes."

Although Lin Kong is the crown prince's bodyguard, he actually takes orders from Zhi Yuan in the palace. With something like this happening today, His Highness is naturally suspicious.

"Then do you think this prince should doubt you?"

Zhiyuan slowly lowered her eyes and looked away from Lin Jiangnian. After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "Your Highness is overly worried. I have never had the thought of harming Your Highness. Besides..."

She paused for a moment, raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, but said no more.

"What else?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then said: "If this slave wants to harm His Highness... Your Highness will not find out."

Listening to the calm tone of the maid in front of him, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt a trace of fear!

yes!

She is the personal maid of Prince Lin, and has great power in the palace. If Zhiyuan really wanted to harm him, Lin Jiangnian might have died countless times.

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew this, but that didn't stop him from pointing the finger at her.

"So, have you ever thought about harming my son?"

"I don't dare, slave."

"Since you don't dare, how do you know that this prince will not find out?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Or, have you already rehearsed in your mind how to kill this prince?"

If you want to accuse someone, why bother?

Zhiyuan glanced at him and remained silent.

"You are truly my prince's caring maid!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered.

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Your Highness will always be Your Highness, and my slave will never harm His Highness."

"I don't believe it."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I have always thought that as members of the palace, you would not have any second thoughts about me. Now it seems that I am overthinking... You servants are not trustworthy."

He sneered: "There are so many people outside who want my son's life, even in the house. It seems that if I want to survive, I can only rely on myself?!"

Zhiyuan was still silent.

She didn't explain much, maybe in her eyes this matter didn't need any explanation.

Or maybe he didn't bother to explain.

Your Highness, believe it or not, that's up to you.

"I will remember what happened today, so you can take care of yourself."

Lin Jiangnian snorted, turned around, and left.

After achieving his goal, Lin Jiangnian didn't intend to continue talking nonsense to her. With his current ability, it is not enough to touch Zhiyuan's status.

Coming to see her today was just to express his anger and pave the way for the next purpose.

If you really want to deal with her, you have to take your time and figure it out slowly.

"Your Highness!"

Just as Lin Jiangnian turned around, the silent Zhiyuan behind him suddenly spoke.

Lin Jiangnian stopped, glanced back at her, and sneered: "It seems that you really didn't take my son's words seriously?"

"host……"

Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and she hesitated in silence for a long time, but in the end she couldn't shout out.

Is there an inexplicable shame rising from the bottom of your heart?

She took a deep breath and then said: "Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of the princess, so Your Highness needs to get up early to prepare."

The death anniversary of the princess?

Lin Jiangnian was startled, then snorted coldly: "Of course I know!"

After that, he walked away.

Zhiyuan was left standing still, his face calm.

She always looks like this, as if nothing can interest her.

She quietly watched His Highness's retreating back, and only after a long time did she look away. Then, she coldly glanced in a certain direction behind her.

"check!"

"Who assassinated His Highness today? Catch the assassin!"

"yes."

A figure shook behind him and left quietly.
