She, a top female military doctor of the 21st century, transmigrated one day to become the legitimate eldest daughter of a prime minister's manor, forced into marriage in a bandit stronghold! H...
Sikong Zhan held the note tightly in his hand, closed his eyes, and thought of the key point. "Do you know who the woman the old man is protecting?"
Tang Xun shook his head. "Xie Chang didn't mention it in his letter, and we haven't found out yet."
The situation was urgent. Even if he didn't know the specific situation in Beijiang, he had to rush to rescue the old man immediately. Sikong Zhan didn't delay at all. He immediately called for help to rescue him and wrote a letter to Mu Wenyao, instructing him to protect the Jingnan Army in the capital.
After a while, Lin Jinghan's mind finally became completely clear, and she thought seriously about what Tang Xun had just said.
The last time Sikong Zhan nearly lost control, they sent for Senior Gu. So much time had passed, and there was still no news from him. Tang Xun was so anxious, but Sikong Zhan wouldn't let him speak to his face, probably because he didn't want her in the room to know. He probably guessed that Tang Xun wasn't bringing good news.
After figuring it all out, she immediately stood up and walked towards Sikong Zhan's study - since she had chosen him, then no matter what happened, she would face it with him.
"Princess, please stay." The people in the room were discussing important matters. Butler Lu Yuan was guarding outside the study door. Seeing Lin Jinghan walking quickly towards him, he bowed and blocked her way.
"According to the rules of the palace, no one is allowed to enter his study without the prince's consent."
People who practice martial arts always have excellent hearing. Sikong Zhan inside naturally knew that Lin Jinghan was coming. Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Sikong Zhan had already opened the door.
He first said to the housekeeper: "From now on, no matter where the princess wants to go, no one is allowed to stop her."
Then he approached Lin Jinghan, trying his best to hide his uneasiness, and deliberately teased: "Jinghan, didn't I ask you to wait for me? Why, after not seeing your husband for a while, you can't wait to come looking for me?"
Sikong Zhan hid his emotions well, but how could Lin Jinghan be so easily fooled? Her face darkened immediately. "Don't play tricks on me. Tell me honestly, has something happened to Senior Gu? I came here to face it with you. If you dare to hide it from me, I will not forgive you."
Sikong Zhan had not expected Lin Jinghan's attitude to be so firm. He originally did not want her to get involved in this matter, but now it seemed that it was impossible to hide it from her, so he had to confess:
"Jinghan, the old man is in some trouble. I need to go and rescue him right away."
It was indeed bad news. Lin Jinghan said without thinking:
"I want to go too! Senior Gu has treated me well. Since he is in danger, I must go and save him."
Sikong Zhan has always known that Lin Jinghan is a person who values love and friendship, so he wanted to hide it from her just now. Although he also wanted her to accompany him, how could he bear to let her follow him to take risks?
"Jinghan, listen to me. The old man is currently in the capital of Beijiang. I've never been to Beijiang, so I have no influence there. Going there might lead to misfortune. You've made some progress in martial arts recently, but you started late. With your current skills, you might not even be able to protect yourself. I don't want you to take any risks with me."
Lin Jinghan was determined to do something, no matter how difficult it was. She knew that as long as her kung fu was not good enough to protect herself, no matter what promises she made to Sikong Zhan, he would not listen. She had no choice but to save the country in a roundabout way.
"So, after His Majesty leaves, what are you planning to do with me? Keep me in the capital? Does His Majesty think that after you leave, the capital will be safe for me? Has His Majesty forgotten that you just severely offended the Emperor? He can't do anything to you. Won't he make things difficult for me after you leave?"
Sikong Zhan had naturally considered the problem that Lin Jinghan mentioned, and had already thought of a solution.
"I will arrange for He Chao and Tang Xin to pretend to be you and me. Before I leave, I will arrange for someone to escort you and Xuan'er and the others to temporarily leave the capital and go to a safe place. Alternatively, you can follow Senior back to Tianque Pavilion."
It seems that this man has already considered everything carefully, and just doesn't want him to go with him to save Senior Gu. Lin Jinghan naturally wouldn't give up so easily. She suddenly threw herself into Sikong Zhan's arms and said with a pout:
"Your Highness, if you don't let me go with you, I'll worry every day, so much so that I won't be able to eat or sleep..."
How could a normal man resist the temptation of his beloved? Sikong Zhan's throat twitched, and he swallowed hard, his voice low and hoarse, "You, there's really nothing I can do about you. Okay, let's go together. No matter what happens, I'll protect you."
The evil plan succeeded, Lin Jinghan let go of Sikong Zhan and said seriously:
"Okay, don't worry, Your Highness. No matter when or where, I will ensure my own safety and will never hold you back."
Sikong Zhan turned and looked at Tang Xun, "Give the order and make preparations. We will set out in half an hour to rescue people in Beijiang."
Since you are leaving, you have to arrange everything properly.
"Opening a perfume shop was something I had agreed with the Pingnan Marquisate long ago. If we can't proceed as planned, I'm afraid our absence from the capital will expose the truth." Lin Jinghan thought for a moment and instructed Tang Xun,
"Tell Tang Xin to put on her cloak and follow me to Xuan'er."
Tang Xun took the order and left. Soon, Tang Xin came over. Without waiting for her to greet him, Lin Jinghan said:
"Don't be so polite. This is an emergency. Let's talk while we walk."
As she said that, she took the lead and walked out the door.
Tang Xin looked at Sikong Zhan, who nodded, "Go ahead. All actions will be under the princess's command."
Tang Xin quickly caught up with Lin Jinghan and walked to her side.
Lin Jinghan whispered her plan to her.
"Tang Xin, I know you're a smart girl. The situation is urgent, so I have no choice but to ask you to pretend to be me and go with Xuan'er to contact the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion. Make sure the perfume shop opens on time. Everyone in the palace will cooperate with you. Do you have the confidence?"
"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely get it done as long as it's your order!" Tang Xin nodded firmly.
The two quickly found Lin Lixuan.
Lin Jinghan told them both of her plan and gave them the formula of the perfume, telling them to work together and not let anyone know anything.
Lin Lixuan looked at the formula, then looked at Lin Jinghan, "Sister, I don't know anything yet. You suddenly handed everything to me. I'm worried..."
Lin Jinghan patted Lin Lixuan on the shoulder and encouraged:
"Don't you still have Tang Xin and the boss lady to help you? Besides, from what I've observed these days, you have a natural talent for business. As long as you listen to everyone's advice and think more about what I've taught you, you will definitely succeed and won't let me down."
