Prince Needs to be Tamed

Lu Jinsheng lazily laid on the bed, letting Yi Wen take the towel that had been poured with cold water and dry it before placing it on her forehead as she chattered on and on.

"Miss, don't try to be brave if you're not feeling well. You're fine now, you must have caught a cold."

"I know that Miss has always been in good health and is basically not ill, but once she is ill she feels extremely uncomfortable. Even so, I'm still not paying attention."

"Does Miss have an appetite now? I cooked some porridge and ate some of it. If you have the strength, you will be able to recover quickly. "

"…"

Lu Jinniang struggled to sit up, and as soon as she felt warm, he immediately stuffed a few pillows behind her back so that she could lean back more comfortably. Lu JinNian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Warmth, I'm really happy that you're so concerned about me." However, it was a bit too much. She only had a small cold and had a fever, so she needed to rest a little more.

With warmth, she stood up and raised her eyebrows, "Miss, are you saying that I made too much of a fuss? But being sick is being sick, how can there be any serious problems? I'll go to the kitchen to see if Miss's medicine is done."

After giving Lu JinNian a towel to cover his forehead and tucking him in, he left in relief after confirming that Lu JinNian had no intention of moving.

Lu Jinniang!" Wasn't it just a cold and a fever? Was there really a need to face such a great enemy? In her previous life, it was common for her to be injured and ill when she was on the battlefield.

Mu Qi stood outside the door and knocked, "Miss, Duke Huai has come to visit you."

Lu JinNian blinked, "He's here just like that?" "Ask him to come in."

Not long after she said "yes", she brought Xiao Su into Lu JinNian's room.

The clean and tidy bookshelves were filled with books, and several tables were lined up in a row. On the contrary, the dresser only occupied a small space, and the white porcelain utensils on the slanted cabinet were soaked in very good daffodils. Unlike the other women, the room was filled with the fragrance of makeup and was filled with the cold scent of books, ink, and flowers.

Clearly, he had just woken up not long ago. His black hair was somewhat disheveled as it draped over his shoulders. He feebly leaned against the pillow. However, his smile did not disappear because of this.

Only then did Xiao Su recall that whenever he saw Lu JinNian, she would smile, as if she was born unperturbed and at ease.

"Sorry for disturbing his rest."

Lu Jinjian shook his head and motioned Mu Cha to move a chair over to Xiao Su, "I think it's about time for your highness to come."

Xiao Su declined to comment, "There was another follow-up to the attack on the House of Duke Yi yesterday. I believe A-Jin already knows about it."

"My grandfather returned after settling the matter with the Duke of Yi's estate. He told me about it when he returned."

At that time, the sky was already about to brighten up. Even though Lu JinNian was still in a daze, she still asked Lu Jinghui to tell her what had happened before relaxing. That was why she was so warmly nagging at him.

"Yesterday, after taking care of the black clothed man, Madam Yi had ordered for Ming Quan to be buried in the warehouse. After all, this is a rare zither, and even if it were shattered, it wouldn't have been thrown away. That night, a thief sneaked into the warehouse with the goal being Ming Quan."

After a while, he continued, "And that little thief is a maid from the Duke of Yi's estate. When that maid saw that someone had caught her bag, she wanted to commit suicide on the spot. Fortunately, she was stopped in time, and after interrogation, she only said that she had been bribed to steal the guqin."

Xiao Su's eyes narrowed, "You were the one who reminded the Duke of Yi, right? When you fought with the black clothed man, you had always been paying attention to Ming Quan's position, because the black clothed man's target was Ming Quan from the very beginning."

The Duke of Yi is a martial general, so the mansion's defenses are much better than other manors. No matter what the purpose of the black-clothed man is, making a move at the Duke of Yi's mansion is not a good choice, but they did do so and even deliberately kicked over Ming Quan, destroying this good guqin. "

Xiao Su said, "How do you know they did it on purpose?"

Lu JinNian shrugged, "Obviously, although the man in black was arrogant and seemed to be here to kill anyone he saw, no one was killed. The first reason he released the arrow rain was to disperse the crowd."

"Kicking Ming Quan was unnecessary, but they did it. In the end, even when they were at a disadvantage, they didn't retreat. I confirmed that they were all death soldiers with the goal of destroying Ming Quan."

"Do you know who the thief is? The incident in the backyard and the attack on the garden were too coincidental. Furthermore, the person who was ambushed was a child of an influential family, but he didn't die. If word were to spread, the rumors about the Fourth Prince would naturally attract more attention … "

The destruction of Ming Quan had reduced the amount of attention that was paid to the matter of the fourth prince. With the fourth prince gone, and with Ming Quan trying to pacify the young ladies, he could only put that matter on the back burner for now.

If Lu JinNian hadn't specially sent Mu Chuang to warn him, the young maid would have already stolen the pieces of the guqin. Once the wind blew, Madam Yi would no longer be able to find the little thief who stole the guqin and would have to leave it at that.

Xiao Su was stunned for a moment by the thought of Lu Jinniang, but then she thought it through, "They spent so much effort trying to get to Ming Quan without leaving a trace, but what secrets are hidden in this guqin?"

Lu JinNian passed the item he fished out from Ming Quan to Xiao Su, "Oh, it's yours."

It was a piece of silk the length of a finger and the length of a nail. On it was a piece of the ancient zither, but it only had a few syllables.

Xiao Su only took a glance at the silk and was about to return it to Lu JinNian, who waved her hand, "This is useless for me."

Seeing those people trying so hard to snatch it, he knew that this thing was definitely troublesome. To cherish one's life and avoid trouble, even if Lu JinNian was curious, he wouldn't be able to thank them.

"But, even if I want it, it's useless."

Lu JinNian tilted his head and looked at Xiao Su doubtfully.

Xiao Su said lightly to Lu JinNian, "I have photographic memory."

Lu JinNian, "..." You're amazing.

"If A-Jin doesn't accept it, I will release the news, saying that you know the secret of the zither. I think even if those people doubt the authenticity of the news, they will still seek you out."

"Is the prince threatening me?"

Xiao Su nodded.

"I don't understand what benefits there are in pulling me into the water."

"Because it's interesting."

"…" However, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that his face deserved a beating, "Prince, did I ever tell you that what I hate the most is being coerced, and the least is being threatened?"

So what if he was a member of the Imperial Family? If Lu Jinsheng was determined to take care of a person, then that person would absolutely not be able to escape.

"I can see it." Xiao Su nodded slightly, "However, this is not a good thing to say. I can't do it alone, I can only look for you."

Lu Jinniang was alert, "When I was in the embroidery workshop, I already felt that the prince was hiding some secret. Actually, it doesn't matter if the prince pulled me into the water. I just want to know the reason."

Thinking of Xiao Su's identity, could it be that this guy also wanted to participate in the fight for the throne? Could it be the treasure map inside the zither?

"I want to overturn the world and disrupt all order."

Lu JinNian, "..." You might as well fight for the throne. Peace is not war!
