The emperor stood up, looking at Lin Jinghan with a half-smile, and approached her step by step. "I remember you said earlier that Prince Jingnan's injury has stabilized. Now you are in such a hurry to leave, but are you deliberately avoiding me?"

After saying the last few words, the emperor was only one step away from Lin Jinghan.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am indeed worried about my prince, and I am not hiding from Your Majesty." Lin Jinghan stood there, watching the emperor approach her step by step, but she couldn't retreat.

"Really?" The emperor leaned over and approached Lin Jinghan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The fragrance from the emperor made Lin Jinghan feel a little dizzy. She didn't know if it was because it was too hot, but her cheeks began to turn red, and her heart gradually became restless, and her head was a little unclear.

"Princess Jingnan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" The emperor stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Lin Jinghan's forehead.

"Warning, the host has been detected to be poisoned. Does Xiaoyi need to detoxify it?" The warning from the medical space successfully made Lin Jinghan sober up a little.

Realizing that the emperor's hand was about to touch her forehead, Lin Jinghan took two steps back and at the same time communicated with the medical space to detoxify her.

"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first!" Lin Jinghan bowed to the emperor and strode towards the door without waiting for his consent.

However, the emperor had already made all the plans, so how could he let Lin Jinghan leave?

With the help of the medical space, Lin Jinghan's poison was cured, but she couldn't open the door no matter what. She then realized that the door was locked from the outside.

"Since Princess Jingnan is feeling unwell, you should stay. We'll have the imperial physician give you a thorough examination later, and then we'll be at ease." The emperor walked towards the door step by step, approaching Lin Jinghan again.

He couldn't let Lin Jinghan cure Prince Jingnan. Not only that, he also wanted to incite Lin Jinghan to rebel and let Lin Jinghan help poison Prince Jingnan.

He knew very well that these women would lose their hearts as soon as they lost their virginity.

He originally just wanted Lin Jinghan to lose her virginity here so that she would stand on his side. He even found a guard to act on his behalf to have sex with Lin Jinghan.

However, the moment he saw Lin Jinghan's face, he changed his mind - such a beautiful woman, even if she was already married, he would conquer her personally.

Moreover, he was inexplicably excited at the thought of being able to cheat on Prince Jingnan, the man who always hindered him as an emperor!

With the help of the medical space, Lin Jinghan was detoxified and completely sober.

Turning around, she met the emperor's eyes. Seeing the aggressive look in his eyes, Lin Jinghan couldn't help but shudder. She had seen this look on Wu Yan's face before, and she instantly understood the emperor's intentions.

She naturally would not let the emperor succeed, but she thought a lot but could not come up with a foolproof plan to escape.

This is the imperial palace, heavily guarded. As long as the emperor refuses to let her go, then no matter what she does, even if she can leave this room and this palace, she will never be able to leave the palace.

There was no other way, she had to grit her teeth and choose the dumbest method - to make a big deal out of it!

She pretended to fall limply towards the door, and at the same time secretly shot out a golden needle, which passed through the crack in the door and violently broke the lock outside.

The moment the lock was broken, Lin Jinghan's body was just leaning against the door. It looked like the door was knocked open by Lin Jinghan. Lin Jinghan fell to the ground and screamed "Ah, help!" The sound was so loud that it successfully attracted the guards patrolling outside.

When the guards rushed in, they saw Lin Jinghan lying on the ground. The originally very beautiful golden nanmu door was now covered with cracks.

The emperor's face darkened as he watched the guards rush in to protect him. But now that things had come to this, if he forced Lin Jinghan to stay in the room, then the fact that he had slept with a minister's wife would probably become known to everyone!

"Princess Jingnan, why did you destroy Concubine Xian's door?" The emperor was very angry. He was really angry, not pretending. However, he was not angry about Lin Jinghan destroying the door, but about the good thing being ruined.

Lin Jinghan rubbed her elbow, which was hurt from being bumped, and struggled to stand up. She staggered and apologized, "I was not standing firmly and bumped into the door. It was not intentional. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Considering that you didn't do it on purpose, I will give you a lighter punishment. You will be forced to kneel in the Imperial Garden for two hours to reflect on your recklessness!" The emperor frowned and walked out in disgust. When he passed by Lin Jinghan, he sprinkled the antidote on her clothes without leaving a trace.

Lin Jinghan naturally noticed the emperor's little action. After a little thought, she let the powder stick to her clothes.

It was noon and it was summer. The sun was like a fireball, baking the ground like a red-hot iron. In order to punish Lin Jinghan, the eunuch even took Lin Jinghan to the gravel road.

As soon as she knelt down, she felt a sharp pain in her knee, accompanied by an intense burning sensation, which made Lin Jinghan almost scream out in pain.

She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying out in pain, but the blue veins on her forehead were painful just by looking at them.

Shiqin was about to kneel down with him, but was stopped by the eunuch.

Not only that, the eunuch also took Shiqin away on the grounds that she must not interfere with law enforcement.

Now, only Lin Jinghan and a few eunuchs who were supervising her were left in this place.

Any disturbance in the palace would spread immediately to all the other palaces.

Soon, the news that Lin Jinghan was punished to kneel in the imperial garden spread like wildfire. For a time, all kinds of discussions filled the entire palace and soon spread outside the palace.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the imperial garden, including palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and even some masters, all pointing and talking at Lin Jinghan.

"She's just a village girl, after all. The new princess was punished even after entering the palace to express her gratitude. Is this setting a precedent in our dynasty? Hahaha..."

"People from the countryside are just not presentable. The one who can break the door in one go, that's not a woman, that's a pig, right? Hahahaha..."

At this time, Lin Jinghan's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and her head was dizzy. She couldn't hear the discussions of outsiders at all. She only felt a buzzing in her ears, which made her very uncomfortable.

She had been kneeling for an hour, and the reason she was still able to kneel and not fall down was entirely because of her amazing perseverance.

The medical space had warned her several times that if she continued to kneel like this, her legs would be crippled. Furthermore, the toxins in the mutton-fat jade bracelet had already begun to invade her body...

She really wanted the medical space to treat her, but she hadn't replenished the medical space with energy for several days. She had just used the medical space to detoxify, and now Xiao Yi was running out of energy and could do nothing to help...

"This damned imperial society, that nasty emperor, one day, she will avenge today's revenge!" She thought vaguely, her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred...
