Chapter 1241: Chapter 1231: The Young Master and the Black-faced General, Are They the Same Person?_1 Chapter 1241: Chapter 1231: The Young Master and the Black-faced General, Are They the Same Person?_1 Xuanyuan Qing's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, “Princess Nanxun, Su Muli.”
“Her?”
Lin Jinyun took a breath and silently lit a candle for his Second Brother.
They hid in the palace, but still couldn't escape their Grandmother's pursuit.
This time, even their sister was brought into the fray, demanding a clear answer.
*
Jinghe Palace.
Winter Plum blossoms were in full bloom. Underneath the trees adorned with flowers, the young General in his black attire showed off his martial prowess, skillfully wielding the Ice Emperor Spear.
Agile and strong, his figure as fast as a Flood Dragon, set against the backdrop of the trees laden with flowers, made him look even more heroic and extraordinary.
Su Muli stepped on fallen petals, arrived at the back courtyard, and stood under the plum tree, staring intently and unblinkingly at the extraordinary young man, unable to look away.
“Whoosh.”
A cold light flashed, and the Ice Emperor Spear was hurled forward, piercing through the tree trunk, nailed right before her eyes.
“Ah!”
Su Muli exclaimed in surprise, backed away two steps, tripped on her foot, and fell backward onto the ground with a crisp thud.
“What's your intention for intruding into Jinghe Palace?”
Lin Jinxu strode over without any hint of chivalry, pulled out the Ice Emperor Spear, and aimed the cold-tipped weapon at her heart.
“Don't blame General Lin, I'm not an assassin.”
Su Muli's face paled noticeably.
“Who are you?”
Lin Jinxu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a feeling of unease arose.
Without daring to conceal, Su Muli said, “I am Princess Nanxun, Su Muli.”
It turned out to be her!
Lin Jinxu's handsome face darkened as he looked around. Not seeing any attendants, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
There was no one in Jinghe Palace.
Who had the audacity to plot against him?
His grandmother?
Or his mother?
“General Lin, I have no ill intentions.”
Su Muli, trembling, reached out to push away the spear tip close to her chest.
Although it was embarrassing, she used her hand to support herself and got up.
Lin Jinxu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, “Who sent you here?”
“The old Madam, and also…”
Su Muli slightly lowered her head, shook her skirts to remove the fallen petals stuck to them, and used this opportunity to avoid his gaze.
“Who else?”
Lin Jinxu was annoyed, his wrist turned, and the spear tip was forcefully stabbed into the ground, sinking several inches.
Feeling oppressed, Su Muli held her breath, unable to quell the rising sense of grievance and desire to flee.
Despite her shortcomings, she was still a pampered princess from a country, never subjected to such humiliation before.
“Second Brother, it was me.”
Lin Qingluo appeared in front of his Second Brother like a wisp of blue smoke, smiling cheekily.
“Little sister.”
As Lin Jinxu saw his little sister, his imposing aura instantly changed, and the icy, oppressive air vanished without a trace.
It was as if spring had returned to the earth, gentle and pleasant.
Su Muli's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that the gentle and refined young man right now and the stern-faced General a moment ago were the same person.
“Second Brother, I was ordered to enter the palace.”
Intending to dissolve Su Muli's embarrassment, Lin Qingluo playfully blinked, holding onto her Second Brother's arm, “It's Grandmother's will. You can't blame us.”
“How could Second Brother blame you?”
Lin Jinxu softly caressed his sister's head, extremely tender, “I'm happy to see you, not to mention, let's go to the pavilion to sit for a while, and I'll make tea for you.”
With that, he walked away with his sister in tow.
Princess Nanxun was blatantly ignored.
Su Muli was filled with a mix of shame and indignation, tears brimming in her eyes as she covered her face and ran out of Jinghe Palace.
“Second Brother, you went too far. Princess Nanxun is elegant and well-mannered, well-educated, and deeply affectionate towards you. There's no need to be so cold, is there?”
