Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Early morning.

In the inner courtyard of the palace.

Lin Jiangnian, holding a long sword, stood quietly in the woods in the backyard, wearing a green shirt and brocade robe, with a handsome face and a refreshing spirit.

A breeze blew around, and the rising sun not far away scattered in the woods, illuminating the world.

The woods were still dark.

The towering trees blocked the sunlight!

Lin Jiangnian held the Qiushui sword given by Senior Li a year ago. The sword was sharp and flashing white light. Under the reflection of the sun, it reflected a few autumn lights.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be in a state of meditation and entered a mysterious state!

He closed his eyes quietly and felt the changes around him.

At this moment, all the senses under the sky seemed to be magnified countless times in front of him.

He could clearly perceive every move around him.

The breeze rustled the branches, the cicadas in the woods, and the sounds of servants and maids walking in the palace not far away were heard very clearly by Lin Jiangnian.

He still closed his eyes, and the air around him flowed, and the mysterious state seemed to be deeper.

Until a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a flash of light between his eyes.

The next second, the Qiushui sword in his hand trembled uncontrollably and made a sword sound.

"Hua La La!"

In the sight, the originally dense woods seemed to collapse as if a building collapsed, and a whole piece fell down in unison.

Accompanied by the collapse of a whole piece of woods, dust was raised in the sky.

The morning sun penetrated the dust, illuminating the world, and also illuminating the brocade clothes standing in it.

The long sword in his hand was still sharp!

The momentum was getting stronger!

"Palace..."

Under the eaves of the backyard, Lin Qingqing, who had just stepped into the backyard, happened to see the scene in front of her, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

Her face was shocked, her eyes were a little dull... She looked at this scene in shock.

It was not until a moment later that she came back to her senses, and her eyes became unbelievable.

When she saw the whole fallen tree in front of His Highness, and the neat cuts, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but take a breath.

This...

Is this caused by His Highness? !

His Highness's sword...

It's really so terrifying.

His Highness's strength has been so strong and terrifying? !

Lin Qingqing was shocked to the point that she couldn't say a word, and stared at this scene blankly. As a martial artist, she can most clearly perceive the difference in strength between the same kind.

The destructive power caused by this scene deeply impacted her worldview.

Lin Qingqing knew very well that she would never be able to do this if she were to do it. With her current strength, even if she used all her internal strength to strike a sword, she could only cut off two or three trees at most, which was already the limit.

It is much more difficult to use the sword through the air than imagined.

This not only tests the mastery of weapons and the ease of using internal force, but more importantly... the user must have a strong and terrifying internal force.

It is for this reason that Lin Qingqing was so surprised. Judging from the terrifying power of His Highness's sword, His Highness's strength is probably comparable to Sister Zhiyuan's?

It seems that he must have the strength of a second-grade Tianxuan?

When this thought came to her mind, Lin Qingqing took a breath again.

Unbelievable!

She should be the person in the world who knows His Highness's strength best! Lin Qingqing still remembers that His Highness was just an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts at all a year ago.

At that time, Lin Qingqing was arranged by Zhiyuan to be by His Highness' side to teach His Highness martial arts.

Because of this, Lin Qingqing knew best that His Highness didn't know any martial arts at that time, and the foundation of His Highness' martial arts was all taught by her.

At that time, Lin Qingqing did find that the prince had inherited the prince's martial arts talent, and the prince was very hardworking in martial arts at that time. At that time, she realized that the prince's future achievements would not be low.

But Lin Qingqing would never have thought that even if her prince's martial arts talent was high, he had already entered the second-grade Tianxuan in just one year?

The terrifying destructive power of the scene in front of her could only be achieved by a second-grade Tianxuan master.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing looked up in astonishment and looked at the white-clothed figure standing in the backyard again.

At this moment, the prince still stood there holding the sword.

Motionless!

The dust raised by the whole fallen tree has not yet completely dissipated, but the sunlight has penetrated the dust floating in the air, shining transparently and falling on the prince's body.

At this moment, the prince's temperament reached its peak.

...

In the backyard.

Lin Jiangnian looked at the destructive power caused by his sword in front of him, and even he himself was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, after he entered the third-grade realm, his internal strength and strength have become so strong!

The power just now is probably close to the strength of a second-grade master.

Ordinary third-grade masters may not get any good in front of him.

All this is thanks to Senior Li.

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the Autumn Water Sword in his hand. Senior Li gave him this sword a year ago. In the past year, Lin Jiangnian and this sword can be regarded as living together day and night, and gradually adapting.

Now, Lin Jiangnian has already mastered this Autumn Water Sword!

It is worthy of being called a magic weapon. The power of this sword is far beyond the reach of other ordinary weapons.

This sword, in his hand, can finally gradually exert its original strength.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the forest in front of him again. The whole forest fell down, as if it was cut off neatly. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"This Nine Sword Techniques is indeed a peerless technique in the world, its power is extremely terrifying!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed in his heart.

A year ago, before senior Li gave him the Qiushui Sword, he also taught Lin Jiangnian martial arts and gave him a complete set of "Nine Techniques of Swords"!

Rumor has it that Kendo is the supreme martial art!

Senior Li even taught Lin Jiangnian the last technique in the "Nine Techniques of Sword" that has been lost in the way of swordsmanship.

It’s almost like giving everything you have!

However, a year ago, Lin Jiangnian's martial arts skills were still weak, and his internal strength was too weak, and he was unable to exert any of the power of any of the Nine Sword Techniques.

To him, the Nine Sword Techniques at that time were just a set of techniques that looked good, but they looked good but were not useful.

But as Lin Jiangnian's internal strength continued to improve, this set of "Nine Techniques of Sword" gradually showed its terrifying power.

This set of swordsmanship is mysterious and exquisite. Although there are only nine skills, these nine skills contain countless variations of moves, which are as fast as the wind and astonishingly powerful.

Each move is more exquisite and more powerful than the last, especially the last move that has been lost for a long time... Even Lin Jiangnian today is still not proficient, and it is difficult to exert its true power.

But once it is unleashed, the destructive power it can cause is far higher than the strength he possesses now.

Lin Jiangnian even had a hunch that even if he was facing a second-grade Tianxuan master now, as long as the opponent was not prepared enough, he would still have some confidence to use the nine sword skills to kill the opponent instantly...

Of course, this was just Lin Jiangnian's hunch.

He is not completely sure. When his strength reaches this point, the improvement in strength brought about by every small improvement in realm is extremely obvious.

Lin Jiangnian would not take risks easily without complete preparations.

With his current strength, he may indeed be able to navigate the third-level realm with ease, but once he encounters a second-level master, he will still have no choice but to run away.

…

Lin Jiangnian gradually came to his senses and sheathed his sword. Turning around, I saw Lin Qingqing standing there under the eaves not far away, waiting for a long time.

"Qingqing, is something wrong?"

"Your Highness."

Lin Qingqing's eyes were still astonished, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, have you already entered the second-level Tianxuan realm?"

"No."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I just broke through the third level yesterday."

"Third grade?!"

Lin Qingqing was a little unbelievable. She was only in the third grade?

That’s not right!

How is it possible that this is only level three?

It is true that one can be regarded as a genius among geniuses after entering the third level within one year.

but……

Lin Qingqing couldn't help but look at the destroyed scene in the yard again, and she was in disbelief and astonishment.

This is definitely not the kind of damage that a third-level master can cause. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary third-level master to have such terrifying strength!

Lin Qingqing stared blankly at His Highness in front of her... It was indeed very powerful to be in the second-level realm with such strength. But His Highness is only at the third level now, but he can have such strength that is comparable to a second-level master?

this……

It seems even scarier than that His Highness has already entered the second level? !

"Your Highness..."

Lin Qingqing swallowed, and was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

After a while, Lin Qingqing finally remembered the business. The look of shock on her face gradually faded, and a hint of worry appeared on her face.

"Your Highness, something happened..."

Lin Jiangnian asked casually: "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, Linjiang City has suddenly begun to spread some bad rumors about you, Your Highness..."

As if thinking of something, Lin Qingqing's face gradually became solemn. Looking at His Highness, he hesitated to speak.

I don’t know whether I should tell His Highness.

Lin Jiangnian saw the change in Lin Qingqing's expression, and then guessed something, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Is there a rumor that I am the fake Crown Prince Lin?"

Lin Qingqing looked stunned: "Your Highness, you... know?"

Immediately, Lin Qingqing reacted and said quickly: "My subordinates just received the information this morning, but this rumor has been circulating in Linjiang City for some days, and many people have heard about it..."

"Starting from this morning, this rumor suddenly began to spread widely in the city, and people were talking about it on the streets in the city..."

"My subordinates suspect that some of them are deliberately adding fuel to the flames and secretly spreading rumors..."

"The prince has ordered people to arrest those who spread rumors, but the news spread quickly. Now there are many voices questioning your identity in the city, which may not be good for you..."

When talking about this, Lin Qingqing was worried.

She didn't know where the rumor came from, especially since it spread so fast and didn't seem to be groundless.

Therefore, many people believed it.

Early in the morning, many people gathered outside Prince Lin's Mansion. These people questioned His Highness's identity and hoped that the Prince's Mansion could give an explanation.

Such a situation is extremely detrimental to His Highness.

However, Lin Jiangnian remained nonchalant: "It doesn't matter, let them pass it on."

"But, Your Highness..."

Lin Qingqing said worriedly, "If the rumors continue to spread, it will be extremely detrimental to Your Highness, especially..."

"Evidence has also been circulated among the people, saying that Your Highness started pretending to be His Highness the Crown Prince a year ago..."

"Qingqing, what do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly looked at her and asked.

"Um?"

Lin Qingqing looked at His Highness doubtfully.

Lin Jiangnian asked with a smile: "Do you think I am real or fake?"

"Or, like them, I actually pretended to be Prince Lin a year ago?"

Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect His Highness to ask her this. However, she quickly came to her senses, shook her head, and said firmly: "Your Highness is of course real!"

"Why are you sure?"

Lin Qingqing said calmly: "I believe Your Highness and the Prince!"

Lin Qingqing didn't know whether the prince in front of her was real or fake.

But, she didn't believe the rumors from the outside world.

In the past year, she has been with His Highness day and night and knows His Highness very well. Not only her, but even Sister Zhiyuan has secretly fallen in love with His Highness...Sister Zhiyuan is so smart, if His Highness is a fake, how could she not find out?

She even fell in love with His Highness?

So...

The rumors outside must be all rumors!

There must be someone who wants to frame His Highness and disturb the people in the palace.

"With your words, Qingqing, I feel more relieved."

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "But, no need to check, I already know who spread it."

Lin Qingqing was about to ask, but when she saw the expression of the prince, she quickly reacted: "Chen family?!"

"It's almost certain."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

That old fox, he really didn't give up.

He did this to try to force him with the pressure of public opinion.

But, is this the only way he can do?

"He is looking for death!"

Lin Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, full of murderous intent.

"Since he did this, it would be unreasonable for us not to return the favor, right?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed and looked at Lin Qingqing: "Qingqing, go and do something."

"Your Highness, just give your orders."

"Take people to the government office, remove Linjiang prefect Yu Feng from his post, and arrest the prisoner. Then use Yu Feng's incident to rectify the officialdom, take over the government office, find a suitable opportunity, and inform the people of Linzhou through the government office about Chen Junru's incident..."

"The palace will dispatch guards to assist you, and the prince's personal army will also cooperate with you. If anyone does not cooperate, they will be arrested directly on the charge of treason and will be executed without pardon!"

Listening to the indifferent voice of His Highness, Lin Qingqing's heart condensed.

She knew that His Highness was going to fight back!

It was time to officially start to take action against those people to establish his authority!

Lin Qingqing's heart surged with excitement and sharpness.

"As you command, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

...

After Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian returned to the room. The maid outside the courtyard had already prepared hot water. Lin Jiangnian took a bath, washed off the sweat stains, and changed into clean clothes.

Refreshed, when he returned and just stepped into the room, he suddenly smelled a fragrance coming from the room.

It was the unique body fragrance of a woman...

Just by smelling it, Lin Jiangnian confirmed who came.

"Jinxiu?"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw Jinxiu, a girl in brocade clothes, appeared in the room at some point, looking at him resentfully.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Jinxiu's voice was faint, as if there was some resentment, and at the same time, there was a bit of sourness in her tone.

"Your Highness is really amazing. He secretly hid it from me and quietly got along with my princess..."
